Subject: Using Automated Installer Without DHCP?

Hi IPS Experts,
This is an AI question so if I have the wrong address I apologize I
have a quick question from a customer who is in the process of moving
his environment to Solaris 11 (previously S10 w/ Jumpstart + WANboot).
He doesn't use DHCP in his environment at all and is trying to stay
away from it. It looks like Solaris 11 "requires" DHCP to identify
new clients. However the document below states the following:
"Although DHCP is used to identify the system initially, it is also
possible to use AI without having a DHCP infrastructure in place."
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/best-commands-ai-1667217.html
I can't find documentation that walks through setting up AI without
DHCP. Are you aware of any documentation or best practices for AI
without DHCP?
Thanks,
Seth
Nope..AI assumes dhcp. Depending on what systems he has, a alternative
is to use the media (AI ISO) and provide an AI manifest. It would be
helpful for us to understand why he does not want to use dhcp ? Since
WANboot was referred, I am assuming that the custy's boxes are SPARC.
Are there linux boxes in the mix ? Are they installed over the net via
kickstart ? If so how is that achieved ?
