3.2.5.1 Setting Up a Boot/Install Server
Refer to the “Preparing to Install Solaris Software Over the Network”
section of the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide, available at
http://docs.sun.com .
To set up a boot and install server, follow these steps:
1. Insert the Solaris distribution CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of the
boot/install server.
2. Change the directory to the Tools area on the Solaris distribution
CD-ROM:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_2.7/Tools
3. Use the setup_install_server script to copy the boot and
installation files to the boot/install server:
./setup_install_server /export/home/install
3.2.5.2 Installing the itmpt Driver on the Boot/Install Server
After you have set up your network boot and install server, follow these
steps to run the
install.sh script and copy the driver kit to the boot
server’s boot files:
1. Place the diskette in the floppy drive and execute the volcheck
command to ensure that the system sees the diskette.
2. Change the directory to the root of the floppy:
cd /floppy/floppy0
3. Execute the install.sh shell script to add the itmpt driver to the
boot installation area (for Solaris 2.8 systems, substitute
Solaris_2.8 on the command line):
./install.sh -n /export/home/install/Solaris_2.7
You can safely ignore the following message that may appear:
major number maximum based on server, not client
When you run the install.sh script in this way, it copies and installs the
Fusion-MPT drivers into the Tools/Boot/ area of the boot files and
allows LSI host adapters to be booted for installation using the
bootserver.
