JET Solaris Server Administration Tasks

ProcedureHow to Import N1 SPS RA Installers

To enable a cross-platform installation (for example, to install x86 platforms from a SPARC system), you need to import the architecture-specific installer to the JET Solaris Image server.

Steps

  1. In the Common Tasks section of the provisioning software page, select OS Provisioning.

  2. On the OS Provisioning Common Tasks page, click Manage in the JET Solaris Image Servers section.

  3. On the Component Details page, click the Run action next to the import_product_media procedure.

  4. Choose the JET Solaris Image server host on which to import the installer, and click Run Selected Installations.

  5. On the Plans Run page, set the plan variables as follows:

    Variable 

    Description 

    Sample Value 

    JET Module Name 

    Name of JET module 

    spsra

    Product Version 

    Version of N1 SPS installer 

    5.1

    Architecture 

    Architecture that applies to RA installer 

    sparc

    Media Path 

    Path to directory that contains the RA installer 

    /net/myothersys/export/ra

  6. Click Run Plan (includes preflight).

    Note –

    To install from imported RA installers, the Solaris Profile used when installing the RA must have the value for “Install RA from snapshot (y,n)” set to n. See Component Variables for N1 SPS Remote Agents.

ProcedureHow to Use JET Server for Boot Params

By default, the OS provisioning server supplies the DHCP target host information for boot configuration. In cases of manual reboot for Solaris target hosts, you can use the JET server as an RARP boot params server instead.

Steps

  1. When you create the Generic Target host, set the osp_control_service variable to FALSE.

    For information about creating the Generic Target host, see Defining a Generic Target Host. Setting the variable to FALSE changes the target host from an OS provisioning-served target host address to a JET-served target host address.

  2. To configure the JET server for RARP boot params service, change the JS_CLIENT_MANAGEMENT value in the /opt/SUNWjet/etc/jumpstart.conf file.

    For example, on a SPARC system:

    JS_CLIENT_MANAGEMENT="bootp"
    Note –

    When booting the target host, an example console boot command to boot and install a target host over the network is boot net - install.
