Hi Jan, Thanks for the info.
Sounds like I'll not be able to take advantage of the existing PXE setup for Opensolaris install at all. I was told that there may be other scripts and tools to get this done. But haven't seen any. If you know of any, please let me know. Thanks. -Venky jan damborsky wrote: > Hi Venky, > > > On 04/21/09 19:58, Venky Papavinasam wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I have been adviced by Dana to contact this alias for opensolaris >> install related questions. >> >> We (x64 SQA) have to provide opensolaris install support using PXE. >> We have a PXE environment already available and a (AMD based)Linux >> system is been used as an install server, containing all the OS >> images.
