Solaris 10 11/06 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations

Create an Install Server

Because the groups need to install Solaris 10 11/06 software from the network, you make server-1 an install server for both groups. You use the setup_install_server(1M) command to copy the images to the server-1 local disk (in the /export/install directory). Copy the images from the either of the following media.

You must copy the image from the disc to an empty directory, in these examples the sparc_10 directory and the x86_10 directory.
