How to Add Solaris 7 OS Services to an OS Server

The name of this release is Solaris 7 but code and path or package path names may use Solaris 2.7 or SunOS 5.7. Always follow the code or path as it is written.

1. Start Solstice Host Manager from the Solstice Launcher and select the name service, if not done already.

   See "How to Start Solstice Host Manager" for more information.

2. Select an OS server to modify from the Host Manager main window.

3. Select Modify from the Edit menu on the Solstice Host Manager Window.

   The Modify window is displayed.

4. Click on the Add button in the OS Services window to add services.

5. Click on Set Path to identify the path to the Solaris CD image from which to add the client services.

   The Install Server defaults to the current host. Select Other from the Install Server menu to specify another host as the install server. Note that a remote system must be minimally set up as a managed system.
