Installers, We would like to get your comments on some Automated Installer and JumpStart how-to documentation. This documentation is intended to help you migrate from JumpStart to Automated Installer. This set of documentation references the AI guide, but it is more than that. We have tried to document the entire process around automated install, including setting up a DHCP server, setting up a local repository, creating an SMF service to do post-install tasks, etc.
Do you use JumpStart now? Have you tried AI? Specific examples of how you use AI, or how you use JumpStart so that we can provide specific migration examples to AI, would be very much appreciated. We would love to get example JumpStart begin and finish scripts so that we can work on specific AI solutions for those. We have general descriptions now, but it would be great to be able to say, "If you did this in your JumpStart begin|finish script, do it this way in AI." You can send comments to this alias, or you can comment directly on the wiki pages. Please send questions and comments by Friday, May 14. The set starts here: Migrating from Solaris Custom JumpStart to OpenSolaris Automated Installer http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSolarisInfo/Solaris+JumpStart+to+OpenSolaris+Automated+Installation and continues on these pages - click the arrow near the top of the above page to get to these links or follow the child pages links at the bottom of the page: * Automated Installer Use Cases o Create a Local OpenSolaris Package Repository o Oracle Solaris DHCP for AI o ISC DHCP for AI o Set Up an AI Install Server o Install OpenSolaris on a Single System o Upgrade the OpenSolaris OS o Automated Installer Manifests + Editing Automated Installer Manifest Files o Create a First Boot Service To Run After Automated Installer Install o What Software Will Automated Installer Install? o Which Target Will Automated Installer Install? o Automated Installer Use Case for OpenSolaris 2010.05 * Installing Solaris 10 Using JumpStart on an OpenSolaris Server _______________________________________________ caiman-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/caiman-discuss
