Using N1 SPS From JumpStart

To invoke N1 SPS through JumpStart, perform the following steps.

  1. Place the flash archive binary into the right location. The flash archive for Sun OTP is included in the bootable DVD that can be copied to jump start the system.

  2. Create the JumpStart profile for flash archive.

    # cat profile-flash
    install_type            flash_install
    archive_location nfs    <flash_archive_location>
    partitioning            explicit
    filesys                 c0t0d0s0 free /
    filesys                 c0t0d0s1 4096 swap
    filesys                 c0t0d0s3 512 /globaldevices
    filesys                 c0t0d0s7 128
  3. Modify the rule file to point to the profile you created.

    hostname otpclient37    sparc   -       profile-flash 
  4. Update the JumpStart rules file by running the ~/rules_directory/check command.

  5. Update the JumpStart server using the addclient command to enable booting of the system.

  6. Log in to the system console and type:

    ok boot net - install

  7. After the OS is installed, set up the Sun OTP Provisioning Service. See To Install Sun OTP Using Sun OTP Bootable DVD Image in Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 2.0 Installation Guide.

  8. Deploy the Sun OTP AHE environment through the Sun OTP Provisioning Service. See To Install Sun OTP Using Sun OTP Bootable DVD Image in Sun Open Telecommunications Platform 2.0 Installation Guide.

A sample JumpStart profile for a flash archive is as follows:

samplel@sr1-usca-22:/net/otpinstall/export/jumpstart# cat profile-flash
install_type            *flash_install*
archive_location nfs    *anew20:/export/Flashes/sample_otp_sun4u*
partitioning            explicit
filesys                 c0t0d0s0 free /
filesys                 c0t0d0s1 4096 swap
filesys                 c0t0d0s3 512 /globaldevices
filesys                 c0t0d0s7 128
