Mudit: I am not sure how your Install Server is setup. We had Install server that had all Solaris Install images on there.
If I am doing this, then I will make sure the following: 1. The Solaris 8 image had the support for the sun4us platform you want to install. 2. Then I will do something like this: # cd /export/s28u7/dvds/latest/So*/To* # ./add_install_client -e 0:b:5d:f3:89:d2 -c 172.29.98.27:/jumpstart/jump -p 172.29.98.27:/jumpstart/jump/sysid/fujitsu syldapm1 sun4us Note, you cannot use a S10 install image to retrieve flash archive for S8 and it will not work.
