Jumpstart server Configuration on Solaris10

I configured Jumpstart server for Solaris 10 client last week.

Create one directory and share that directory using NFS
#mkdir -m 775 /vol/install
#vi /etc/dfs/dfstab
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /vol/install
#shareall

insert your SUN Solaris10 DVD to your DVD drive and goto following directory
#cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Tools

Run setup_install_server command to copy installation files to install base directory(/vol/install) It takes some time...
# ./setup_install_server /vol/install/
Verifying target directory...

Jumpstart server required 3 configuration files.
1.rules [this is a first config file accessed by client to read profile file file]
2.sysidcfg [This file is having values which are required for client initial boot ]
3.Profile file [This file has filesystems,patch details]

Make config directory under install folder and you can copy sample configuration files from DVD which are reside under Misc folder.I`ve copied only check and any_machine files.Remaining files I`ve created manually.

#mkdir /vol/install/config
#cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/
# cp check /vol/install/config
# cp any_machine /vol/install/config

# ./setup_install_server -b /vol/install/boot

#vi rules
hostname sunserver1 - e250_prof -
any - - any_machine -
in this above
sunserver1 --> client name
e250_prof -->profile file name.
My sunserver1 is a Sun E250 model server,so I created this name:)

#vi e250_prof
# profile keywords profile values

update your client MAC address and name into /etc/ethers file
#vi /etc/ethers
8:0:xx:xx:xx:xx sunserver1

update your client IP address and name into /etc/hosts file
#/etc/hosts
1.1.1.4 sunserver1

Jumpstart server uses TFTP protocol, so check whether the TFTP entry has commented out or not in inetd.conf file.
#vi /etc/inet/inetd.conf
tftp dgram udp6 wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

#eject cdrom

# /vol/install/Solaris_10/Tools/add_install_client -e 8:0:xx:xx:xx:xx -s 1.2.3.4:/vol0/install -c 1.2.3.4:/vol0/install/config -p 1.2.3.4:/vol0/install/config sunserver1 sun4
updating /etc/bootparams
[1.2.3.4 is IP address of jumpstart server]
