− ethmac is the Ethernet MAC address of the client, in the form aa:bb:cc:dd:ee − installpath is the NFS path to the Installation Server, such as: 10.10.10.10:/export/home/install − jsnfspath is the NFS path to the JumpStart configuration directory, such as: 10.10.10.10:/jumpstart − idnfspath is the NFS path to the directory that contains the sysidcfg(4) file, such as: 10.10.10.10:/jumpstart − mrpath is the local directory of the miniroot, such as: /export/home/install/boot 4. After adding the installation client, add_install_client prints the modifications that must be made to the DHCP server configuration to PXE boot the client. For the Solaris 10 1/06 release and later, only the BootFile and BootSrvA options are required. Use dhtadm(1M) to configure the server as follows: # /usr/sbin/dhtadm -A -m "macname" \ > -d ':BootSrvA=ipaddr:BootFile=path:' where macname, ipaddr, and path are the values for the macro name, boot server IP address, and boot file that were printed by add_install_client. 5. For Solaris 10 10/08, add_install_client can produce invalid menu.lst files for GRUB. You might need to modify the menu.lst file. These files are stored in the /tftpboot directory, in the format menu.lst.dhcpserveridentifier, where dhcpserveridentifier is the identifier produced by add_install_client for the DHCP Server above. If the contents of this file are in the following format: default=0 timeout=30 title Solaris_10 Jumpstart kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/multiboot kernel/unix -B -install, install_config=jsnfspath,sysid_config=idnfspath,install_media= installpath,install_boot=nfsserver:mrpath module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot You will need to modify the kernel line in the following manner: kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/multiboot kernel/unix - install -B install_config=jsnfspath,sysid_config=idnfspath,install_media= installpath,install_boot=nfsserver:mrpath If you are using a custom miniroot with a name different than x86.miniroot, you must modify the module line in the following manner: module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/customminirootname The DHCP/PXE server configuration is complete.

−
ethmac
is the Ethernet MAC address of the client, in the form
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee
−
installpath
is the NFS path to the Installation Server, such as:
10.10.10.10:/export/home/install
−
jsnfspath
is the NFS path to the JumpStart configuration directory, such as:
10.10.10.10:/jumpstart
−
idnfspath
is the NFS path to the directory that contains the
sysidcfg(4)
file, such as:
10.10.10.10:/jumpstart
−
mrpath
is the local directory of the miniroot, such as:
/export/home/install/boot
4.
After adding the installation client,
add_install_client
prints the modifications that must be made
to the DHCP server configuration to PXE boot the client. For the Solaris 10 1/06 release and
later, only the
BootFile
and
BootSrvA
options are required. Use
dhtadm(1M)
to configure
the server as follows:
# /usr/sbin/dhtadm -A -m "
macname
" \
> -d ’:BootSrvA=
ipaddr
:BootFile=
path
:’
where
macname,
ipaddr,
and
path
are the values for the macro name, boot server IP
address, and boot file that were printed by
add_install_client
.
5.
For Solaris 10 10/08,
add_install_client
can produce invalid
menu.lst
files for GRUB.
You might need to modify the
menu.lst
file.
These files are stored in the
/tftpboot
directory, in the format
menu.lst.
dhcpserveridentifier
, where
dhcpserveridentifier
is
the identifier produced by
add_install_client
for the DHCP Server above.
If the contents
of this file are in the following format:

idnfspath
,install_media=

:
mrpath
module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot
You will need to modify the kernel line in the following manner:

install_config=
jsnfspath
,sysid_config=
idnfspath
,install_media=
installpath
,install_boot=

If you are using a custom miniroot with a name different than x86.miniroot, you must modify the
module line in the following manner:
module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/
customminirootname
The DHCP/PXE server configuration is complete.
