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
Where REV is some Solaris revision number.
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
NOTE: You may need to enable the NFS server daemon. If so, follow these instructions [1].
8. Create a sysidcfg file in /jumpstart
cd /jumpstart
vi sysidcfg
system_locale=en_US.UTF-8
timezone=Australia/Victoria
terminal=vt100
name_service=DNS{domain_name=yourdefaultdomain.com name_server=IP_OF_DNS_SERVER search=yourdefaultdomain.com}
network_interface=PRIMARY{default_route=192.168.X.X netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=NONE
timeserver=192.168.X.X
root_password=Some_Encrypt_Password
The root_password can be copied from the shadow file of another server
9. Create a finish script in /jumpstart to do all the annoying stuff you'd normally do manually. To find out how to write one, read this link [asd].
