Hi all
I tried in the last weeks building up a Solaris 8 based Jumpstart Server On
a Ultra 10 512 MB RAM and 440 MHz.
After some difficulties it worked absolutly fine and both Solaris 8 and 9
could now be installed without problems over the Jumpstart Server in the way
I use:
--------------- rules ---------------
hostname proteus - client.profile finish.script
--------------- rules ---------------
The finish.script is creating actually a nfs mount and uses after the mount
is done a normal
Script which installes or removes packages etc. :
--------------- finish.script ---------------
ROOT=/a
BOOTSCRIPT=/etc/rc2.d/S999setup
SERVER=192.168.200.27
FILESYS=/jumpstart/Solaris_8
MOUNTPT=/mnt
cp /dev/null ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
chmod 744 ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
echo '#!/sbin/sh' >> ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
echo "mount ${SERVER}:${FILESYS} ${MOUNTPT}" \
>> ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
echo "cd ${MOUNTPT}/" >> ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
echo "./client.finish > /var/log/jumpstart.log" \
>> ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
echo "rm -f ${BOOTSCRIPT}" >> ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
echo "reboot -- -r" >> ${ROOT}/${BOOTSCRIPT}
--------------- finish.script ---------------
The client.profile looks like:
-------------- client.profile ---------------
# profile keywords profile values
# ----------------- -----------------
#
# This profile keyword is required in every profile
#
install_type initial_install
#system_type standalone
system_type server
# Following initial Cluster's are available for installation
#
# SUNWCreq (Core System Support cluster) * Solaris 8 & 9
# SUNWCuser (End-User cluster), * Solaris 8 & 9
# SUNWCprog (Developer cluster) * Solaris 8 & 9
# SUNWCall (Every OS package) * Solaris 8 & 9
# SUNWCrnet (Reduced Networking Software) * Only Solaris 10
cluster SUNWCrnet
# Partitioning will be done explixit or default
#
partitioning explicit
#partitioning default
# How the Client will pe partioned for a "HP-9.10GBA80-SA40-SA40 cyl 11106"
#
filesys rootdisk.s0 7073 /
filesys rootdisk.s1 1024 /var
filesys rootdisk.s2 all overlap
filesys rootdisk.s3 512 swap
filesys rootdisk.s4 10 /metadb1
filesys rootdisk.s5 free /metadb2
--------------- client.profile ---------------
The sysidcfg looks like:
--------------- sysidcfg ---------------
system_locale=en_US
timezone=MET
network_interface=primary {netmask=255.255.255.0
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=192.168.200.12 }
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
root_password=XXXXXXXXXXX
name_service=NONE
timeserver=localhost
--------------- sysidcfg ---------------
The next step would be Solaris 10 and I did the exact same as for Solaris 8
And 9 and it worked actually but there is after first reboot always a
question About:
This system is configured with NFS version 4, which uses a domain
name that is automatically derived from the system's name services.
The derived domain name is sufficient for most configurations. In a
few cases, mounts that cross different domains might cause files to
be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common domain name.
Do you need to override the system's default NFS version 4 domain
name (yes/no) ? [no] :
>>>> How could I automate that this question does not appear?
Also I tried to install directly SUNWCrnet (Reduced Networking Software)but
it seems that after the first reboot and answering above question the
client.finish script could not be transfer some date like installing package
etc. after a nfs mount command!
>>>> The reason about that is that nfs is not included in SUNWCrnet ok
so far so good but how could I transfer data for example installing
additional packages?
My last question is about Solaris 10!
>>>> Did somebody now a god link which is explained the difference between
Solaris 10 and Solaris 8/9 or some docus How to secure etc.?
I did not find some really good links etc. Any comments are welcome...many
thanks in advanced for any help.
Kind regards
Andrea
