2.
Use the add_install_client script to add the client machine
./add_install_client -i ipaddr
-e ethernetid client_name platform_group
Where: ipaddr is the tcp/ip address of the client
ethernetid is the ethernet hardware (mac) address of the client
client_name is the client’s system name
platform_group is the client’s vendor defined hardware group
Example: ./add_install_client -i 192.168.103.124 –e 00:08:26:02:25:34
sunsys sun4u
Note: You can obtain the platform_group from a machine of the same
type as the target client using the uname –m command.
Booting the Client using ITHPS/ITSPS drivers
Now you can begin the installation of Solaris to the client target machine via
the boot and install server. On the client machine, boot the network install kit
you created in the preceding steps as follows:
ok boot net -v
Note: It is important to choose "Manual Reboot" rather than "Auto
Reboot" during the installation of Solaris on the target machine. If
you choose "Auto Reboot", you will not have the opportunity to
complete the installation of the IntraServer SCSI drivers and your
system will fail to boot.
Once the installation has completed and the system is waiting to be manually
rebooted, proceed to a console window and run the following script:
/sbin/itisinst
This will copy and install the drivers from the boot server to the newly
created Solaris installation. Once this script has been run, the IntraServer
device driver installation is complete and the system can be rebooted.
