How to add a client

• Update config files and run "add_install_client"
  • On the jumpstart server
    • Add client to /etc/hosts
    • Add client MAC address to /etc/ethers
    • Add the client to the /jumpstart rules file.
    • Run /jumpstart/check to verify rules and create rules.ok.
    • Run add_install_client from the desired OS (Example follows)

bash-3.00# cd /jumpstart/OS/sol10_u3/Solaris_10/Tools
bash-3.00# ./add_install_client -i 10.60.240.85 -s 10.60.240.48:/jumpstart/OS/sol10_u1 \
> -c 10.60.240.48:/jumpstart \
> -p 10.60.240.48:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_10 \
> shsun15 sun4u
updating /etc/bootparams
copying boot file to /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-3

• Usage:
  • ./add_install_client <options> client_name platform_group
    • [-i ipaddr] [-e ethernetid] [-s server:path]
    • [-c server:path] [-p server:path]
    • [-n [name_server]:name_service[(netmask)]]
    • [-t install boot image path]

Files

• client_init
  • This script is copied to the client and executed following the post jumpstart reboot. I use it for client configuration post install. It can be used to install patches, configure veritas, VCS, NIS and mpxio etc.
• Example Finish Script
  • This script does some customization following the jumpstart install before the initial reboot.
• Example Jumpstart Client Profile
• Example sysidcfg Note - the sysidcfg file is specified in the add_install_client command.
• Example rules file
