6.4 Unattended Installation Solaris 10
Unattended installations of Solaris 10 are done via JumpStart. For general information on JumpStart
see:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/installjumpstartons11ex-
219229.html
The process for using JumpStart is as follows:
• Create a JumpStart installation server
• Create the client configuration files
• Share the client tftpboot files
• Configure and run the DHCP Server
• Perform a hands-off JumpStart installation
These processes are documented here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-6397/819-6397.pdf
To install the Solarflare Solaris package as part of an unattended installation, it must be added using
the
package
command to the JumpStart machine profile. The package can reside on a local disk or
on a HTTP or NFS server. For more information, see:
http://search.oracle.com/sear ch/
search?start=1&search_p_main_operator=all&q=command&group=TecNetwor
The following are example lines for a JumpStart profile:
package SFCsfxge add local_device <device> <path> <file_system_type>
package SFCsfxge add http://<server_name>[:<port>] <path> [<options>]
package SFCsfxge add nfs://<server_name>:/<path> [retry <n>]
NOTE:
The Solarflare server adapter can be used to PXE boot the installer, but as there is no driver,
the adapter can not be used during installation.
