Sarah and Bernd:
These are the notes I have on how to setup a jumpstart server in
OpenSolaris. I was able to get an osol_2009_06 AI install server to be
a jumpstart and install server for SXCE and s10 updates. I was using
SXCE115 when I did this a couple months ago.
1. In order for this to work, I need to install the following packages
on osol-inst
:
SUNWinst - check and jumpstart will not work
SUNWadmfw - SUNWinst depend on SUNWadmfw
SUNWbs - this is for in.rarpd and bootparamd
Note: SUNWbs is in the IPS repo. However, SUNWinst and SUNWadmfw is not
in the I
PS repo. I had to pkgadd them from SXCE build 115 in order for jumpstart
to work.
I did pkgadd of SUNWinst and SUNWadmfw as follow:
# cd /net/ins3525-svr/export/nv/dvdx/latest/So*/Pr*
# pkgadd -d `pwd` SUNWadmfw SUNWinst
To install SUNWbs, I did this:
# pkg install SUNWbs

2. Now you can do setup_install_server to bring over an SXCE or S10
image as follow:
This is an example of setup_install_server for the SXCE sparc image:
admin at osol-inst:/net/ins3525-svr/export/nv/dvds/latest/Solaris_11/Tools# ls
Boot addclient.sparc rmclient
Installers addclient.x86 rmclient.sparc
add_install_client dial rmclient.x86
addclient rm_install_client setup_install_server
admin at osol-inst:/net/ins3525-svr/export/nv/dvds/latest/Solaris_11/Tools#
./setup
_install_server /export/nv/dvds/latest
Verifying target directory...
Calculating the required disk space for the Solaris_11 product
Calculating space required for the installation boot image
Copying the CD image to disk...
Copying Install Boot Image hierarchy...
Copying /boot netboot hierarchy...
Install Server setup complete
admin at osol-inst:/net/ins3525-svr/export/nv/dvds/latest/Solaris_11/Tools#
3. Need to fix rm_install_client for bugid 6646677:
6646677 - The "rm_install_client" script does not work with Solaris 10
"dig" based nslookup
Bug is deferred but it had suggested fix by customer:
Line 168 was:
ANS=`nslookup ${K} 2>&1`
Line 168 proposed:
ANS=`nslookup ${K} | /bin/sed '/^;;/d' 2>&1`
Line 273 was:
ANS=`echo $ANS | sed -e 's/#.*$//'`
Line 273 proposed:
ANS=`echo $ANS | sed -e 's/ #.*$//'`
Do the suggested fix for rm_install_client under the
/export/nv/dvds/latest/So*/Tools
4. Need to fix check problem in bugid 6838095:
6838095 - opensolaris jumpstart server doesn't run the check script
correctly
I fixed check so that it uses /usr/has/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh. check
is under /export/nv/dvds/latest/Solaris_11/Misc/jumpstart_sample
After I did all the above, I can do netinstall and jumpstart install on
SXCE.
