Disk Space Requirements for OS Servers

Before you set up your diskless client environment, ensure that you have the required disk space available for each diskless client directory.

In previous Solaris releases, you were prompted about diskless client support during the installation process. Starting with the Solaris 9 release, you must manually allocate an /export file system either during installation or create it after installation. See the following table for specific disk space requirements.

Table 6–7 Disk Space Recommendations for Solaris OS Servers and Diskless Clients

Server OS/Architecture Type	Directory	Required Disk Space
Solaris Express and Solaris 10 SPARC based OS server	/export	5 to 6.8 Gbytes
Solaris Express and Solaris 10 x86 based OS server	/export	5 to 6.8 Gbytes
Solaris Express and Solaris 10 SPARC based diskless client	/export	Reserve 200 to 300 Mbytes per diskless client.
Solaris Express and Solaris 10 x86 based diskless client	/export	Reserve 200 to 300 Mbytes per diskless client.

Disk space recommendations can vary, depending on the Solaris release that is installed.
