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
