3.2.5.3 Adding Clients to the Boot/Install Server
Follow these steps to add a client entry on the boot/install server for each
machine that boots into the boot/install server:
1. Change the directory to the boot/install kit (for Solaris 2.8 systems,
substitute
Solaris_2.8 on the command line):
cd /export/home/install/Solaris_2.7/Tools
2. Use the add_install_client script to add the client machine by
typing at the command prompt:
./add_install_client -i ipaddr -e ethernetid client_name
platform_group
where:
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.
An example is:
./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 by using the uname -m
command.
3.2.5.4 Booting the Client Using the itmpt Driver
Now you can begin the installation of the Solaris operating system to the
client target machine using the boot and install server. To do this, follow
these steps:
1. On the client machine, boot the network install kit you created in the
preceding steps by entering this command at the OpenBoot prompt:
ok boot net -v
2. Choose Manual Reboot rather than Auto Reboot during the
installation of Solaris on the target machine. If you choose Auto
Reboot you will not be able to complete the installation of the LSI
drivers, and the system will fail to boot.
After the installation has completed, the system waits for a manual
reboot.
