To Create the Base Agent Image on the JumpStart Install Server

1. Log in as root on the machine where you created the JumpStart install server.

2. Insert the Sun Management Center 4.0 DVD in your DVD drive.

   Change to the directory /DiskMountDir/sbin.

3. Type the command ./es-makeagent to create the Sun Management Center base agent image.

   You are prompted for the installation files source directory, and for the agent image target directory.

   (SPARC) The source directory is /DiskMountDir/disk1/image/sunOS/sparc.

   (x86) The source directory is /DiskMountDir/disk1/image/sunOS/i386

   (Linux) The source directory is /DiskMountDir/disk1/image/Linux

   The target directory is the directory on the JumpStart install server where the agent image is to be created, for example, /export/home/JumpStart/AgentImage.

   ---

   Note –

   If the target directory that you specify does not exist, you are asked whether you want to create the directory. Type y to create the directory.

   ---

   Example:

   # ./es-makeagent Installation files source directory: /DiskMountDir/image Please enter the target directory: /export/home/JumpStart/AgentImage

   ---

   Note –

   The image creation process can take over half an hour to complete.

4. Exclude add-on agents.

   If you do not want to include the add-on agent components, rename the agent-image Addons directory.

   # cd /export/home/JumpStart/AgentImage/disk1/image # ls -p Addons/ PE/ Patches/ Webserver/ db/ # mv Addons Addons-temp
