Perform a Hands-Off JumpStart Installation

　　Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) must be enabled on the clIEnts in order to allow them to boot from the network. On some clients, PXE needs to be enabled in the BIOS.

　　A bug in the creation of the client boot file is addressed in the Final Clean-Up section.

　　Solaris JumpStart Procedure

　　These instructions are for setting up a JumpStart installation server that will install the Solaris 10 OS for x86/x64 platforms on two clients.

　　In this exercise, the node name of the JumpStart server is stinger2 and its IP address is 172.16.64.194. The default router's IP address is 172.16.64.1. The network address where the JumpStart server resides is 172.16.64.0.

　　If you need to, you can download the Solaris 10 OS.

　　1. Create a JumpStart Installation Server

　　a. Create an installation Directory on the server:

# mkdir -p /export/install

　　b. Put the Solaris 10 OS for x86/x64 platforms DVD in the DVD player on the server. Create the installation server by going to the Solaris_10/Tools directory on the DVD and running the setup_install_server command. The Solaris software is copied to the newly created directory. Specify the absolute path name as the argument.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Tools
　# ./setup_install_server /export/install
