Appendix -3
You need to enable bootability using a boot/install server to make both images
aware of the host adapter. At the start of the procedure, the system administrator
downloads the driver and all required patches to an exported directory on the
boot/install server.
The following steps explain the process. For actual instructions, begin with
Section B.1.2 “To Set Up the Boot/Install Server” on page B-3.
1. The boot image is copied from a Solaris CD-ROM or from another location onto a
disk that is attached to a boot/install server.
2. The driver package is added to the boot image.
You add the driver package to the boot image so that the boot/install server can
then send and receive data through the host adapter on the boot client.
3. The client boots from the boot/install server, the interactive
suninstall
(1M)
application starts, and the system administrator provides configuration information
requested at the prompts.
4. After the system administrator provides all configuration information requested by
the installation program, the installation of the Solaris operating environment
begins.
5. The install image is copied to the client.
6. Before a reboot, while the client is still booted from the boot image mini-root, the
driver and any needed patches are copied from the boot/install server and then
installed in the install image.
You install the driver package and patch the install image so that the host will be
able to see the host adapter after a reboot.
Note –
You can not use Jump Start until you modify the install image.
7. The host boots from the boot disk through the network adapter.
B.1.2 To Set Up the Boot/Install Server
1. Switch users to root on the host to be used as the boot/install server.
