This procedure assumes that the system is running Volume Management. If you are not using Volume Management to manage diskettes and CDs, refer to the System Administration Guide, Volume I for detailed information about managing removable media without Volume Management.
Log in as root on the server where you want the JumpStart directory to reside.
Create the JumpStart directory anywhere on the server.
# mkdir jumpstart_dir_path |
jumpstart_dir_path |
Is the absolute path of the JumpStart directory. |
For example, the following command creates a directory called jumpstart in the root file system:
mkdir /jumpstart |
Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file. Add the following entry.
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 jumpstart_dir_path |
For example, the following entry shares the /jumpstart directory:
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /jumpstart |
Determine your next step based on where the Solaris CD is located.
You only need to perform the rest of the steps if you want to copy example custom JumpStart files from the Solaris CD. You are already done creating the profile server.
Change directory to the Misc directory on the Solaris CD image.
# cd Solaris_2.7/Misc |
Copy the example custom JumpStart files into the JumpStart directory on the profile server.
# cp -r jumpstart_sample/* jumpstart_dir_path |
For example, the following command would copy the jumpstart_sample directory into the /jumpstart directory:
cp -r jumpstart_sample/* /jumpstart |
The files you just copied are only example custom JumpStart files. You must update the files for your own site.
You have completed creating a profile server. To continue, see "Enabling All Systems to Access the Profile Server".
