Installing With install_mu

To install the Solaris 7 MU2 software on a diskless client or AutoClient from a server using install_mu:

1. Halt the diskless client or AutoClient.

2. On the server, run the install_mu script located in the local product directory, with the client's root directory as the argument.

   • From a local copy of the MU2 image that corresponds to the client platform, type:

     # cd local_directory # ./install_mu -R /export/root/client_name

     where client_name is the hostname of the diskless client or AutoClient.

   • From the MU2 CD, mount the CD and type:

     # cd /cdrom/s7_maintenance_update_2_platform # ./install_mu -R /export/root/client_name

     where platform is sparc or x86 and client_name is the hostname of the diskless client or AutoClient.

3. Repeat this process for each diskless client or AutoClient being served.

4. Install the Solaris 7 MU2 software on the server's service area. From a local copy of the MU2 image that corresponds to the server platform, type:

   # cd local_directory # ./install_mu -S Solaris_2.7

   Note -

   If a service area is shared by the server, you also need to apply the same Maintenance Update patch set to the server's root area. Failure to do so will result in an improperly patched and unstable server.

5. Check to see if you need to install special patches as described in "Installing Special Patches on a Diskless Client or Solstice AutoClient from a Server."

6. Boot the diskless client or AutoClient.
