The basic steps to set up a boot/install server are as follows:
1.
Insert your Solaris distribution CD in your boot/install server’s CDROM
drive.
2.
Change your directory to the Tools area on your distribution CD:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_2.6/Tools
3.
Use the setup_install_server script to copy the boot and installation files
to your boot/install server:
./setup_install_server /export/home/install
Installing the ITHPS/ITSPS Drivers on the
Boot/Install Server
Once you have set up your network boot and install server, run the
“
install.sh
” script with the “
–n
” parameter to 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 the system sees the floppy.
2.
Change directory to the root of the floppy
cd /floppy/floppy0
3.
Execute the install.sh shell script to add the ITHPS and ITSPS drivers to
the boot installation area:
./install.sh –n /export/home/install/Solaris_2.6
Note: For Solaris 2.7 boot files, the directory would be
/export/home/install/Solaris_2.7.
Note: The message “major number maximum based on server, not client”
can safely be ignored.
Running the install.sh script this way will copy and install the IntraServer
drivers into the Tools/Boot/ area of the boot files and allow IntraServer
adapters be booted for installation via the bootserver.
Adding Clients to your Boot/Install Server
For each machine that will boot into the boot/install server add a client entry
on the boot/install server, as follows:
1.
Change directory to the boot/install kit
cd /export/home/install/Solaris_2.6/Tools
