Setting Up Servers
and Diskless Clients

11

This chapter describes how to set up a server so that you can boot and run
diskless clients across an FDDI network. It assumes that the server and clients
are attached to the same FDDI ring.

Setting up a server for a diskless client running over FDDI involves these steps:

1. Setting up the server so that it can export an operating system for a diskless

client and installing the SunFDDI/P device driver and utilities

2. Introducing the diskless client to the network

3. Installing the SunFDDI/P device driver in the

/export/root

/ file

system for the diskless client

4. Booting the diskless client over the network
