How to Set Up Your Diskless Client Environment

1. Choose where to start.

   • If your system currently supports diskless clients that were created with the Diskless Client tool, proceed to step 2.

   • If your system does not currently support diskless clients that were created with the Diskless Client tool, proceed to step 4.

2. Remove the existing diskless clients by using the /usr/sadm/bin/admhostdel command.

3. Remove the existing OS services by using the /usr/sadm/bin/admhostmod command.

4. Upgrade the machine(s) designated as the OS server(s) to the Solaris 8 1/01 operating environment.

5. To view Diskless Client error messages in the Solaris Management Console (SMC) Log Viewer, start the SMC by typing the following at the command line:

   % /usr/sadm/bin/smc &

   Then choose Log Viewer from the SMC main screen.

6. Add the required OS services. See "Preparing to Add OS Services" and "How to Add an OS Service".

7. Add the diskless client(s). See "How to Add a Diskless Client".
