Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide

SPARC: Set Up Engineering Systems to Install Over the Network

After setting up the /jumpstart directory and files, you use the add_install_client command on the install server (server-1, which is also the boot server for the engineering group's subnet) to set up the engineering systems to install Solaris 8 from the install server:


server-1# cd /export/install/sparc_8/Solaris_8/Tools
server-1# ./add_install_client -c server-1:/jumpstart host-eng1 sun4m
server-1# ./add_install_client -c server-1:/jumpstart host-eng2 sun4m
.
.
.
.

In the add_install_client command:

-c

Specifies the server (server-1) and path (/jumpstart) to the JumpStart directory.

host-eng1

Is the name of a system in the engineering group. 

host-eng2

Is the name of another system in the engineering group.  

sun4m

Specifies the platform group of the systems that will use server-1 as an install server. (This is the platform group for SPARCstation 5 systems.)
