How to Add SunOS 4.0 and Compatible OS Services to an OS Server

You cannot add SunOS 4.0 and compatible services to x86 OS servers.

The high-level steps in this procedure are:

• Determining the OS server to which you want to add SunOS 4.0 and compatible OS services for diskless clients

• Installing the required SunOS 4.0 and compatible release software (install4x command)

1. Log in as superuser on the OS server to which you want to add SunOS 4.0 and compatible OS services for diskless clients.

2. Insert the Solstice AdminSuite 2.3 CD into your CD-ROM drive.

   This step assumes that your system is running Volume Management.

3. Change directory to the location of the software.

   # cd /cdrom/Solstice_sysmgt_2.3/4.x

4. Install the SunOS 4.0 and compatible heterogeneous install software.

   # pkgadd -d `pwd` SUNWhinst

5. Eject the Solstice AdminSuite 2.3 CD.

   # cd # eject cd

6. Insert the SunOS 4.0 or similar release CD into your CD-ROM drive.

   This step assumes that your system is running Volume Management, and the CD-ROM drive is directly attached to the server. Volume Management automatically mounts the CD directory on /cdrom/volume1/s0.

7. Start the SunOS 4.0/4.1 release software installation program.

   # /usr/sbin/install4x -m /cdrom/volume1/s0 -e /export

   The main menu is displayed.

8. On the main menu, specify the architecture you want to support by typing the associated character that is shown in brackets.

   The Module Selection menu is displayed.

9. Select modules to load by typing the associated character that is shown in brackets.

   The Module Selection screen readily enables you to pick groups of modules to be loaded. When you enter a 1, it marks all required modules for loading. When you enter a 2, it marks all recommended modules. When you enter a 3, it marks all commonly loaded modules. When you enter a 4, it marks all optional modules. When you enter a 5, it marks all modules shown on the Module Selection screen.

10. Return to the main menu by typing D.

    The main menu is displayed.

    *** 4.1* Install Main Menu *** Choose an Architecture (then select modules to load): Modules Loaded Selected [a] sun4.sun4c.sunos.4.1.2 0 4 [b] sun4.sun4.sunos.4.1.2 0 3 [c] sun4.sun4m.sunos.4.1.2 0 1 or begin the loading process for all selected modules: [L] Load selected modules or abort without loading any modules: [Q] Quit without loading +-------------------+ | Disk Usage: | | 0K Selected | | 53634K Free | +-------------------+ Type any bracketed letter to select that function.

11. Type L to install the software.

    The modules you previously selected are installed.

    Installing module `proto root' [size: 248K] in directory /export/exec/proto.root.sunos.4.1.2 ... Updating server databases ... Press any key to continue:

12. After the modules are installed, press any key to return to the main menu.

    The loaded modules are displayed in the main menu.

13. If you want to add support for other architectures, repeat Step 8 through Step 11. Otherwise, type Q to exit.

    Note -

    There is no command-line equivalent for adding SunOS 4.0 or compatible services to an OS server.
