I goofed an have recently shipped newly jumpstarted
machines out to 10 of our different sattelite offices
for deployment. It turns out the Jumpstart server here
did not include and thus install several necessary
packages. Now that the servers are already shipped, we
are stuck trying to find a way to get the remote
systems updated.
Because the missing packages will also require the
patch cluster to be reapplied, the best solution would
be to rejumpstart all the sattelite machines. Rather
than have the systems shipped back to us, I was hoping
to create a bootable jumpstart cdrom that would allow
for a hands free installation of the system.
I have found a Blueprint doc that almost covers what I
am looking for. The problem I have is that the
document (Building a Bootable Jumpstart Installation
CDROM), tells how to put the miniroot install files on
the cdrom, but still expects the sysidcfg information
and network info to come from a network server serving
rarp/bootp requests.
Is there a method to create a jumpstart cdrom that
includes the rules file (how to partition the disk and
cluster level), as well as the sysidcfg info to make
it hands free? In essence have everything required on
the cdrom and no dependence on the network.
Many thanks in advance.
-Mark
