Solaris Advanced Installation Guide

Set Up Engineering Systems to Install Over the Network

After setting up the /jumpstart directory and appropriate files, you use the add_install_client command on the install server (server-1) to set up the engineering systems to install Solaris from the install server.

Note -

Host Manager can be used instead of add_install_client to set up the systems.

server-1# cd /export/install/sparc_2.7/Solaris_2.7/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 Sun SPARCstation 5 systems.)
