Setting Up a Server and Diskless Clients

When you set up a Solaris 2.5.1 Hardware: 4/97 server so that it can export its
operating system, you need to know the number of diskless clients that it will
serve. This tells you the amount of disk space you need to reserve in the

/export

file system.

Use

df(1M)

to check the amount of space available, for example, type:

The figure in the

avail

column tells you how much space is available in the

file system.

For each Solaris 2.5.1 Hardware: 4/97 client, you will require:

20 Mbytes of disk space under

/export/root

24 Mbytes (by default) of disk space under

/export/swap

In addition, you require 10 Mbytes under

/export/exec

for the Solaris 2.5.1

Hardware: 4/97 template files (Sun-4u) plus an additional 15 Mbytes under

/export/exec

.

For example,

If you have five Sun-4u diskless clients running Solaris 2.5.1 Hardware: 4/97,
you will require:

(5

x

20) = 100 Mbytes of disk space under

/export/root

(5

x

24) = 120 Mbytes of disk space under

/export/swap

(10 + 15) = 25 Mbytes of disk space under

/export/exec
