Appendix A Preconfiguring Your Network to Support PXE Installation 51
Copying Files From the Documentation and
Support Files CD
This section describes how to copy the PXE support files, which are required for PXE
configurations, from the Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers Documentation
and Support Files CD.
You can also download the driver RPMs from the Sun Fire V20z or

1. Insert the Sun Fire Documentation and Support Files CD into the DHCP/PXE
server.
2. Create a temporary directory to copy the PXE support files to:
# mkdir /tmp/
3. Type the following commands to copy the files to the /tmp/ directory.
# mount /media/cdrom
# cp /media/cdrom/support/pxeboot/ version -pxefiles.tar.gz /tmp/
Where version is sles8 for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 and suse9 for SUSE
Linux Professional 9.0 software.
4. Uncompress and extract the contents of the tar file into the /tmp/ directory by
typing the following command:
# tar -zxf /tmp/ version -pxefiles.tar.gz
When you extract the file, a directory with all required files is created at
/tmp/sles8-pxefiles/ or /tmp/suse9-pxefiles/
Configuring a DHCP Server
Complete the following steps on the server that will be your DHCP server.
1. Power on the server and log in as superuser.
2. Determine whether the DHCP server package is already installed on the server by
typing the following command:
# rpm -qa | grep dhcp-server
3. If the DHCP server package is not listed, install the package using yast with the
following command:
# yast -i dhcp-server
