Chapter 3 Advanced Installation Options

Instead of bootstrapping systems using a physical DVD, you can place the flash archive on a jumpstart server or use an existing Sun OTP provisioning server.

Using JumpStart

Refer to To Prepare to Install a Solaris Flash Archive With a Custom JumpStart Installation in Solaris 10 11/06 Installation Guide: Custom JumpStart and Advanced Installations.

The procedure to install the OTP flash archive using jumpstart is the same as using a standard flash archive process except that you need to copy the OTP flash archive (otp_sparc.flarc or otp_x64.flarc) from the bootable DVD.

Using Sun OTP Provisioning Server

Refer to Adding a JET Module in Sun N1 Service Provisioning System User’s Guide for OS Provisioning Plug-In 3.1

The procedure to install the OTP flash archive using jumpstart is the same as using a standard flash archive process except that you need to copy the OTP flash archive (otp_sparc.flarc or otp_x64.flarc) from the bootable DVD.
