add |
Adds the specified OS service. |
-H hostname:898 |
Specifies the host name and port to which you want to connect. If you do not specify a port, the system connects to the default port, 898. |

-x mediapath=path |
Specifies the full path to the Solaris image. |
-x platform=instruction-set.machine-class.Solaris-version |
Specifies the instruction architecture, machine class, and the Solaris version to be added. |
-x cluster=cluster-name |
Specifies the Solaris cluster to install. |
-x locale=locale-name |
Specifies the locale to install. |
The installation process can take approximately 45 minutes, depending on the server speed and the OS service configuration you choose.
For more information, see smosservice(1M).
