Set Up Marketing Systems to Install From the Network

Next, you use the add_install_client command on the boot server (server-2) to set up the marketing systems to boot from the boot server and install the Solaris 9 software from the install server (server-1):

server-2# ./add_install_client -c server-1:/jumpstart host-mkt1 sun4u
