B.1
The Net Install Method
This section contains a bootability method that is different from the one starting at
Section B.2 “The Dump and Restore Method” on page B-8. The topics in this section
include:
■
Section B.1.1 “Overview For the Net Install Method” on page B-2
■
Section B.1.2 “To Set Up the Boot/Install Server” on page B-3
■
Section B.1.3 “To Modify the Boot Image” on page B-5
■
Section B.1.4 “To Set Up the Client” on page B-6
The procedures in this section explain how to install the Solaris operating
environment from a boot/install server onto the host with the host adapter. Any
other host on the same subnet can be set up as a boot/install server.
Note –
The procedure is identical whether the you are using a boot server or an
install server.

Therefore, the convention used in this chapter is to refer to either type
of server as the “boot/install server.”
B.1.1
Overview For the Net Install Method
Installing a client from a boot/install server uses two images of the Solaris operating
environment:
■
A boot mini-root (which is referred to from here on as the boot image)
■
A separate install image that gets copied onto the boot disk
This procedure assumes you know how to install Solaris software over the network
as described in the Solaris installation manuals. For more information, see the
man
(1)
pages for the commands that are used in this procedure.
Note –
While you are setting up the boot/install server, you must either have the
contents of the Solaris installation CD-ROM copied to a disk that is directly-
connected to the boot/install server or have the Solaris installation CD inserted and
mounted from an attached CD-ROM device.
1. For the distinction between these two types of server, see the Solaris system administration documentation.
