Deployment tasks 28
− ethmac is the Ethernet MAC address of the client, in the form aa:bb:cc:dd:ee
− installpath is the NFS path to the Installation Server, such as:
10.10.10.10:/export/home/install
− jsnfspath is the NFS path to the JumpStart configuration directory, such as:
10.10.10.10:/jumpstart
− idnfspath is the NFS path to the directory that contains the sysidcfg(4) file, such as:
10.10.10.10:/jumpstart
− mrpath is the local directory of the miniroot, such as:
/export/home/install/boot
4. After adding the installation client, add_install_client prints the modifications that must be made
to the DHCP server configuration to PXE boot the client. For the Solaris 10 1/06 release and
later, only the BootFile and BootSrvA options are required. Use dhtadm(1M) to configure
the server as follows:
# /usr/sbin/dhtadm -A -m "macname" \
> -d ’:BootSrvA=ipaddr:BootFile=path:’
where macname, ipaddr, and path are the values for the macro name, boot server IP
address, and boot file that were printed by add_install_client.
5. For Solaris 10 10/08, add_install_client can produce invalid menu.lst files for GRUB.
You might need to modify the menu.lst file. These files are stored in the /tftpboot
directory, in the format menu.lst.dhcpserveridentifier, where dhcpserveridentifier is
the identifier produced by add_install_client for the DHCP Server above. If the contents
of this file are in the following format:
default=0
timeout=30
title Solaris_10 Jumpstart
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/multiboot kernel/unix -B -install,
install_config=jsnfspath,sysid_config=idnfspath,install_media=
installpath ,install_boot=nfsserver:mrpath
module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot
You will need to modify the kernel line in the following manner:
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/multiboot kernel/unix - install -B
install_config=jsnfspath,sysid_config=idnfspath,install_media=
installpath ,install_boot=nfsserver:mrpath
If you are using a custom miniroot with a name different than x86.miniroot, you must modify the
module line in the following manner:
module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/customminirootname
The DHCP/PXE server configuration is complete.
Rapid Deployment Pack server preparation
This section describes how Rapid Deployment Pack can be used to deploy Solaris on ProLiant servers,
and explains the Rapid Deployment Pack deployment server setup required.
