Solaris Software Requirements

./install.sh –n /export/home/install/Solaris_2.8

Notes:

For Solaris 2.7 boot files, the installation directory is
/export/home/install/Solaris_2.7.

For Solaris 2.6 boot files, the installation directory is
/export/home/install/Solaris_2.6.

You can safely ignore the message: “major number
maximum based on server, not client.”

Running the

install.sh

script this way copies and installs the LSI Logic

drivers into the Tools/Boot/ area of the boot files and allows LSI Logic
adapters to be booted for installation using the bootserver.

Adding Clients to Your Boot/Install Server – For each machine that
boots into the boot/install server, follow these steps to add a client entry
on the boot/install server:

Step 1.

Change the directory to the boot/install kit:

cd /export/home/install/Solaris_2.8/Tools

Step 2.

Use the add_install_client script to add the client machine

./add_install_client -i ipaddr

-e ethernetid client_name platform_group

Where:

Example:

./add_install_client -i 192.168.103.124 –e

00:08:26:02:25:34 sunsys sun4u

Note:

You can obtain the platform_group from a machine of the
same type as the target client using the

uname –m

command.

Booting the Client Using the itmpt FC Driver – Now you can begin
the installation of the Solaris operating system to the client target

ipaddr

is the tcp/ip address of the client

ethernetid

is the ethernet hardware (mac) address of
the client

client_name

is the client’s system name

platform_group

is the client’s vendor defined hardware
group
