Remote Boot und Installation
These scripts do not support NIS (Network Information Service) or NIS+
(Network Information Service Plus). This means there must be a file named
/etc/hosts
on the server or DNS must be running.
Refer to the Installation Manual for the RM600, particularly the chapter on
remote installation there.
5.4.3.1
setup_RM_server
Prerequisites:
1. If Volume Management (
/etc/init.d/volmgt
) has not been started (
vold
is
not running), you have to manually mount the CD-ROM containing the
Reliant UNIX operating system before starting the
setup_RM_server
command.
2.
nfs
must be running. It must be possible to use the
share
and
mount
commands. This means
/usr/lib/nfs/mountd
and
/usr/lib/nfs/nfsd
must be
running (started from
/etc/rc3.d/S15nfs.server
or from
/etc/init.d/nfs.server
if
/etc/dfs/dfstab
contains entries). More information on this is given in the
“NFS Administration Guide” for Solaris.
3. There must be enough free space in /
tftpboot
to store the boot files (
sash
,
Miniroot
and
unix
). These take up about 30 Mbytes for each operating
system version that is going to be installed.
If there is not enough space, an attempt is made with
nfs
to mount the
data from
/var/sadm/remote/cdrom/BOOT
(or from
/var/sadm/remote/
<VERSION>/cdrom/BOOT
) to
/tftpboot
(or to
/tftpboot/<VERSION>
). If this
does not work (because, for example,
/tftpboot
already contains other
data), you should mount a disk partition onto
/tftpboot
with enough space
for all the data.
V
No links
Since the TFTP service is started in security mode, you cannot
use hard or symbolic links here.
4. There must be enough free space in
/var/sadm
to copy the data from the
CD-ROM containing Reliant UNIX (500-650 MB per operating system
version). Alternatively you can set a symbolic link, for example:
ln -s /export/home var/sadm/remote/<
