Here is how I setup my PXE DHCP jumpstart server, There was no one good example I could find in the SUN docs or the WEB URL's that I could find, So here is my version , so let me know if this works for you.
Note: I have a 4 port Netgear firewall/dhcp home behind is a cable modem that I have reserved both dhcp IP to the MAC address, if not you need to change the check and change the below SERVER and CLIENT ip address for your situation. Also noted for debuging in your /tftpboot menu.lst file I added to the boot option of unix v -m verbose install Also work noting , the GUI installer or ttinstall OpenSolaris/Solaris DVD will fill in the answers noted below from the Jumpstart rules any_machine profile and sysidcfg files if you don't get the values 100% correct. 1. mount dvd and run Solaris_1*/tools/setup_install_server /zfs1/install/10u6 2. create the jumpstart profile directory in my case /zfs1/install/jumpstart bash-3.00# cat rules any - - any_machine post_install bash-3.00# cat any_machine install_type initial_install locale en_US.UTF-8 geo N_America cluster SUNWCXall system_type standalone fdisk rootdisk 0x04 delete fdisk rootdisk solaris maxfree #pool newpool 64g 8g 8g mirror any any filesys rootdisk.s0 64000 filesys rootdisk.s3 8000 filesys rootdisk.s4 8000 filesys rootdisk.s6 500 filesys rootdisk.s7 500 filesys rootdisk.s5 free pool rpool 64g 8g 8g any bootenv installbe bename 10u6 #patch patch_order nfs://192.168.1.8/zones/install/patches retry 5 noreboot bash-3.00# cat post_install bootadm update-archive -R /a mkdir /a/export/home mkdir /a/export/home/jbrewer echo "* 127.0.0.1:/export/home/&" >> /a/etc/auto_home echo "share -F nfs -o rw -d \"home dirs\" /export/home" >> /a/etc/dfs/dfstab echo "jabrewer:x:100:1::/home/jbrewer:/bin/sh" >> /a/etc/passwd echo "jabrewer:xxxxxxxxxxxx:14167::::::" >> /a/etc/shadow chown 100:1 /a/export/home/jbrewer echo "set ip:dohwcksum = 0" >>/a/etc/system bash-3.00# cat sysidcfg system_locale=en_US.UTF-8 timezone=US/Eastern timeserver=localhost security_policy=none network_interface=primary {protocol_ipv6=no} name_service=DNS {domain_name=rochester.rr.com name_server=192.168.1.1 search=rochester.rr.com} security_policy=NONE nfs4_domain=dynamic root_password=xxxxxxxxxxxxx service_profile=open terminal=vt100 bash-3.00# pwd /zfs1/install/jumpstart bash-3.00# 3. setup your share in /etc/dfs/dfstab file. + share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 -d home dirs /zfs1 + share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 -d home dirs /tftpboot .
