Systems cannot boot from an install server on a different subnet, so you make server-2 a boot server on the marketing group's subnet. You use the setup_install_server(1M) command to copy the boot software from the Solaris x86 Platform Edition DVD or the Solaris Software 1 of 2 x86 Platform Edition CD to the server-2 local disk (in the /export/boot directory).
If you insert the Solaris Software 1 of 2 x86 Platform Edition CD in the CD-ROM drive that is attached to server-2, type the following command:
server-2# cd /CD_mount_point/Solaris_9/Tools server-2# ./setup_install_server -b /export/boot |
If you insert the Solaris x86 Platform Edition DVD in the DVD-ROM drive that is attached to server-2, type the following command:
server-2# cd /DVD_mount_point/Solaris_9/Tools server-2# ./setup_install_server -b /export/boot |
In the setup_install_server command, -b specifies that setup_install_server is to copy the boot information to the directory that is named /export/boot.
