Example--Installing a Package From a Mounted CD to a Diskless Client's Root File System

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.

The following example shows a command to install the SUNWadmr (software to support system and network administration) package from a server onto a diskless client's root file system. In this case, the diskless client's root file system is /export/root/client-1. This example assumes the SUNWadmr package is available from a mounted SPARC 2.7 Solaris CD (/cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.7/Product). The example also shows use of pkginfo and pkgchk to verify that the package's files were installed properly.

server# pkgadd -R /export/root/client-1 
-d /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.7/Product SUNWadmr
			.
			.

Installation of <SUNWadmr> complete.
server# pkginfo -R /export/root/client-1 | egrep SUNWadmr
system			SUNWadmr			System & Network Administration Root
server# pkgchk -v -R /export/root/client-1 SUNWadmr
