NFSv4 Domain Name Configurable During Installation

This system administration feature is new the Solaris Express 5/06 release.

The NFS version 4 domain can now be defined during the installation of the OS. To facilitate this new functionality, the sysidnfs4 program runs during the installation process to determine whether an NFSv4 domain has been configured for the network. In previous Solaris 10 releases, the NFS domain name was defined during the first system reboot after installation.

The NFSv4 domain can now be defined as follows:

• If you are using the Solaris interactive installation program, you can choose the default, which automatically derives the NFSv4 domain name. Or, you can specify a different NFSv4 domain.

• If you are using the Solaris JumpStart^TM program, a new keyword is available in the sysidcfg file. You can now assign a value for the NFSv4 domain by using the new keyword, nfs4_domain.
