Deployment tasks This chapter describes common deployment tasks. For information about using one or more of these tasks to construct a complete deployment environment, see "Deployment planning." In the examples and instructions that follow, file path references often end with .../subpath. Replace the ellipsis (...) with the correct path for the current environment. For example, in the following path: .../sol-10-u3-ga-x86-v1.iso replace the ellipsis (...) with a path to the directory that contains the ISO images for the Solaris 10 11/06 installation media. Install server preparation This section describes a procedure for preparing an install server, which provides the Solaris installation media to installing clients as part of a network-based deployment. This procedure is also described in Solaris 10 11/06 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-6395, and Solaris man pages (for example, setup_install_server(1M)). Prerequisites for preparing an install server To prepare a Solaris install server, the following prerequisites must be met: • Solaris 10 media-This media is available from Sun. The install server can be prepared from the ISO images; they do not need to be burned to physical media. • System running Solaris-The install server must be a system running Solaris. • Disk space-Enough disk space must be available on the install server to store the contents of the installation media (approximately 3 GB to 5 GB).

Deployment tasks
This chapter describes common deployment tasks. For information about using one or more of these
tasks to construct a complete deployment environment, see “Deployment planning.”
In the examples and instructions that follow, file path references often end with
.../subpath.
Replace the ellipsis (...) with the correct path for the current environment. For example, in the
following path:
.../sol-10-u3-ga-x86-v1.iso
replace the ellipsis (...) with a path to the directory that contains the ISO images for the Solaris 10
11/06 installation media.
Install server preparation
This section describes a procedure for preparing an install server, which provides the Solaris
installation media to installing clients as part of a network-based deployment.
This procedure is also described in
Solaris 10 11/06 Installation Guide: Network-Based Installations
at
, and Solaris man pages (for example,
setup_install_server(1M)
).
Prerequisites for preparing an install server
To prepare a Solaris install server, the following prerequisites must be met:
•
Solaris 10 media—This media is available from Sun. The install server can be prepared from the
ISO images; they do not need to be burned to physical media.
•
System running Solaris—The install server must be a system running Solaris.
•
Disk space—Enough disk space must be available on the install server to store the contents of the
installation media (approximately 3 GB to 5 GB).
