Example JumpStart Client Install

• ./add_install_client -i 10.10.20.176 -e 8:0:20:7c:5e:cd -p zevon:/opt/jumpstart -s zevon:/opt/install -c zevon:/opt/jumpstart suntest1 sun4m

• This is what I used to install a test SparcStation 5, with no interaction required beyond the “boot net - install”

For the command:
./add_install_client -i 10.10.20.176 -e 8:0:20:7c:5e:cd -p zevon:/opt/jumpstart -s zevon:/opt/install -c zevon:/opt/jumpstart suntest1 sun4m

the options are:

-i 10.10.20.176 This sets the IP address of the installed client to 10.10.20.176

-e 8:0:20:7c:5e:cd This is the MAC address of the client

-p zevon:/opt/jumpstart This is the directory where the sysidcfg file is.

-s zevon:/opt/install This is where the boot image of Solaris is saved.

-c zevon:/opt/jumpstart This is the directory with the rules file. (Usually the profiles and start/finish scripts are stored here as well.)
