Writing a Script That Uses dhtadm to Create Options and Macros
You can create a Korn shell script by adapting the example in Example 7–13 to create all the options listed in Table 7–4 and some useful macros. Be sure to change all IP addresses and values contained in quotes to the correct IP addresses, server names, and paths for your network. You should also edit the Vendor= key to indicate the class of clients you have. Use the information that add_install_client -d reports to obtain the data that you need to adapt the script.
Example 7–13 Sample Script to Support Network Installation
# Load the Solaris vendor specific options. We'll start out supporting # the Sun-Blade-1000, Sun-Fire-880, and i86 platforms.

As superuser, execute dhtadm in batch mode. Specify the name of the script to add the options and macros to your dhcptab. For example, if your script is named netinstalloptions, type the following command.
# dhtadm -B netinstalloptions |
Clients that have vendor client classes that are listed in the Vendor= string can now use DHCP to install over the network.
For more information about how to use the dhtadm command, see dhtadm(1M). For more information about the dhcptab file, see dhcptab(4).
