Jump Start – configuration.

Step :1

Dump the cd into Systems Hard Disk.

# cd /export# mkdir install# mkdir config

Please insert the first cd in cdrom drive.

In Sparc platform# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_9/Tools

In Intel platform# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s2/Solaris_9/Tools

Run the following script to dump the first cd into the hard disk.

# ./setup_install_server /export/install

Complete the operation, Please copy the configuration template from cdrom into hard disk.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_9/Misc/jumpstartsample

# cp –r * /export/config

Eject the first cd, Insert the second cd into the cdrom.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0Solaris_9/Tools# ./add_to_install_server /export/install

Complete the process eject the cd.

Step: 2

Edit the /etc/hosts file and add the client system entry.

# vi /etc/hosts

<ip address> <client system name>

Save & exit.

Step: 3

Edit the /etc/ethers file and the client mac address and system name.

# vi /etc/ethers

<client system mac address> <client system name>

Step: 4

Set the Configuration file in /export/config.

Files : 1. rules2. host_class3. finish_script4. sysidcfg.

Some of the files already with the directory. Some of them new. Expected entries in the files are…

1) rules file.

# mv rules rules.bak# vi rules

The expected entry is.

hostname <client system name> - host_class finish_script

Save & exit.

2) host_class

The expected entries are

# vi host_classinstallation_type initial_installationsystem_type standalonepartitioning explicitcluster SUNWCXall# This part based on user’s hard disk space.filesys c0t1d0s0 <space> <mount point>filesys c0t1d0s1 <space> <mount point>filesys c0t1d0s3 <space> <mount point>filesys c0t1d0s4 <space> <mount point>filesys c0t1d0s7 <space> <mount point>

3) finish_script

The expected entries.

# vi finish_script

touch /a/noautoshutdownrm /a/etc/defaultdomainrm –r /a/var/yp/binding/<domainname>cp /a/etc/nsswitch.files /a/etc/nsswitch.conf

Save & exit.

# chmod 755 finish_script.

4) sysidcfg

The expected entries.

# vi sysidcfg

system_locale=en_UStimezone=US/Mountainsecurity_policy=nonenetwork_interface=primary {protocol_ipv6=no netmask=255.255.0.0}

save & exit.

Finally run the check script and check your configuration. The script check the rules and host_class files.

# ./check

The script check the files and create the rules.ok file under the configuration directroty /export/config.

Step: 5

Share all the resources involving in the jumpstart.# vi /etc/dfs/dfstabAdd the following shares.

share –o anon=0 /export/configshare –o anon=0 /export/install

stop and start the nfs server.

# /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

Step: 6

# cd /export/install/Solaris_9/Tools# ./add_install_client –c <config system name>:/export/config -p <config

system name>:/export/config <client system name> <platform arch>

Step: 7

In the client system

In sparc

Go to the ok prompt, run the following boot command.

Ok boot net - install

In Intel.

Select the boot device, network.
