Creating a Jumpstart Server from ISO images<\/p>\n
What is Jumpstart ? Jumpstart is a computer network installation tool set used by the Solaris OS. On this post, you will find easy step to perform Jumpstart installation from ISO Solaris OS images.<\/p>\n
here are the step-by-step:<\/p>\n
first of all, you need to upload Solaris ISO image to server that will used as Jumpstart server. In this example, my ISO images is \u201csol-10-u8-ga-sparc-dvd.iso\u201d and I uploaded already to root home directory (\/).
\nAdd your client IP address & hostname to \u201c\/etc\/hosts\u201d, also the hostname and mac address to \u201c\/etc\/ethers\u201d.
\nif your client is Sparc, then you can find the mac address by running \u201cbanner\u201d command from OK prompt. For x86, the mac address can be found on BIOS.<\/p>\n
# more \/etc\/hosts
\n::1 localhost
\n127.0.0.1 localhost
\n10.32.16.1 solaris10 solaris10. loghost
\n192.168.1.2 client1
\n192.168.1.3 client2
\n192.168.1.4 client3<\/p>\n
# more \/etc\/ethers
\n0:0:be:a5:1a:9e client1
\n0:0:be:a5:1a:9f client2
\n0:0:be:a5:1a:a0 client3<\/p>\n
mount ISO images using \u201clofiadm\u201d command to \u201c\/mnt\u201d directory:
\n# lofiadm -a \/sol-10-u8-ga-sparc-dvd.iso \/dev\/lofi\/1
\n# lofiadm
\nBlock Device File
\n\/dev\/lofi\/1 \/sol-10-u8-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
\n# mount -F hsfs -o ro \/dev\/lofi\/1 \/mnt<\/p>\n
Check the \u201c\/mnt\u201d directory, the jumpstart scripts are located at \u201c\/Solaris_10\/Tools\/\u201d directory:
\n# cd \/mnt\/Solaris_10\/Tools\/
\n# ls
\nadd_install_client dial rm_install_client
\nBoot Installers setup_install_server<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t hv enough disk space, then you can run \u201cadd_install_client\u201d script directly: #.\/add_install_client client1 sun4u NOTE: If you want to copy all or part of the install DVD onto a system to set it up as a long term install server with the install media available on local disk, then you can run \u201csetup_install_server\u201d script.<\/p>\n FORMAT: setup_install_server Check \u201c\/etc\/bootparams\u201d. The bootparams file contains a list of client entries that diskless clients use for booting. Make sure your client listed in there.. You need to configure DHCP macro on Jumpstart server, run \u201c\/usr\/sadm\/admin\/bin\/dhcpmgr\u201d from X Windows \/ GUI, then click EDIT > NETWORK WIZARD.
