====== Building a Jumpstart Server ======

Since Solaris 8, it has been possible to build servers over the network using Jumpstart. This procedure below describes the process for building a Solaris 10 Jumpstart install system, but can be done for Solaris 8, 9 and 10 on both sparc an x86 platforms.

1. Mount the Solaris CD 1 or DVD in the jumpstart server

2. On the jumpstart server

mkdir /export/
mkdir /export/install
mkdir /export/install/10
mkdir /export/install/10/sparc_REV

* current REV is 0807

mkdir -m 755 /jumpstart

3. Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file by adding the following entry.

share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /jumpstart

4. Copy sample jumpstart directory to local server.

cp -r /cdrom/PATH_TO_INSTALLER/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/jumpstart_sample/* /jumpstart
chown -R root /jumpstart

5. Copy over CD or DVD image

mkdir /export/intall
mkdir /export/intall/sparc_10_REV
cd /cdrom/PATH_TO_INSTALLER/Solaris_10/Tools
./setup_install_server /export/install/10/sparc_REV

* if you're doing this from CD, you will then need to mount the next disk and do:

cd /cdrom/PATH_TO_INSTALLER/Solaris_10/Tools
./add_to_install_server /export/install/10/sparc_REV

6. Edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file by adding the following entry:

share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/install/10/sparc_REV

7. Start the NFS services

shareall

8. Create a sysidcfg file in /jumpstart

cd /jumpstart
vi sysidcfg

system_locale=en_AU.ISO8859-1
timezone=Australia/Victoria
terminal=vt100
name_service=DNS{domain_name=verisign.com.au name_server=139.130.4.4 search=verisign.com.au}
network_interface=PRIMARY{default_route=192.168.11.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=NONE
timeserver=192.168.6.4
root_password=b3guwYQnKuMFk

NOTE: The above config is used for the Technical network only, i.e. 192.168.11.*

9. Create a finish script in /jumpstart to do all the annoying stuff you'd normally do manually. Click on the links below to see the contents of the current finish scripts.

* [[solaris10-finish.sh]]
