x86: Set Up Marketing Systems to Install Over the Network

Next, you use the add_install_client command on the boot server (server-2) to set up the marketing systems to boot from the boot server and install Solaris 8 from the install server (server-1):


server-2# cd /marketing/boot-dir/Solaris_8/Tools
server-2# ./add_install_client -s server-1:/export/install/ia_8 \
-c server-1:/jumpstart host-mkt1 i86pc
server-2# ./add_install_client -s server-1:/export/install/ia_8 \
-c server-1:/jumpstart host-mkt2 i86pc
.
.
.

In the add_install_client command:

-s

Specifies the install server (server-1) and the path to the Solaris 8 software (/export/install/ia_8).

-c

host-mkt1

i86pc
