Setting Up a GigaSwift Ethernet
Network on a Diskless Client System

Before you can boot and operate a diskless client system across a gigabit Ethernet
network, you must first install the GigaSwift Ethernet software packages into the
root directory of the diskless client. You can find the GigaSwift Ethernet software
packages on the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 Update 1 CD. Refer to the Solaris
Advanced Installation Guide
and the System Administration Guide for more information
about installing and administering diskless client systems.

Note –

The Solaris 8 operating environment does not support diskless clients.

To Set Up a GigaSwift Ethernet Port on a
Diskless Client

1. Locate the root directory of the diskless client on the host server.

The root directory of diskless client system is commonly installed in the host
server’s

/export/root/

client_name directory, where client_name is the diskless

client’s host name. In this procedure, the root directory will be:

# cat /etc/hosts

#

# Internet host table

#

127.0.0.1 localhost

129.144.10.57 zardoz loghost

129.144.11.83 zardoz-11

/export/root/
