3.5 Network Installation

This section explains how to perform a Solaris OS network installation using the FUJITSU
PCI GigabitEthernet interface.

1. Please refer to the "Advanced Installation Guide" for information on the setup of

the server and clients for Solaris Jumpstart.

2. On the installation server, execute the following command and check the mini root

directory for the client system.
The mini root directory for each client system is described in the /etc/bootparams
file on the installation server.

# grep

CLIENT_NAME

/etc/bootparams


example) # grep

CLIENT_NAME

/etc/bootparams

CLIENT_NAME

root=

SERVER_NAME

:/netinstall/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot install=

In the above example, the mini root directory is
/netinstall/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot on the installation server.

CLIENT_NAME

is the name of the client system.

SERVER_NAME

is the name of the installation server.

If the mini root directory name is not described in the /etc/bootparams file,
please refer to the "Advanced Installation Guide".

3. Insert the "FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet 3.0 Update1" CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive

of the installation server.

4. Install the "FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet 3.0 Update1" software to the mini root

directory as shown in the examples below.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/FJSVgid_3.0/PRIMEPOWER1_100

# pkgadd -R

mini_root_directory

-d .

# cd /

NOTE: In this example, the installation server is setup to install Solaris
8 OS on the client. Substitute the appropriate Solaris level in the pkgadd

command for other Solaris OS levels.

The package name may be displayed as "FJSVgid.2". This is normal.
