Use the Solaris Automated Install Server
Describe when someone would need this information. For example "when connecting to wi-fi for the first time".
Bypassing the use of any DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol server
SPARC Clients
Not Verified
For provisioning SPARC clients you can work around having to make any
changes to the pre-existing DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol server by giving the SPARC client,
through the its PROM, the client's network identity and the address of the
AIArtificial Intelligence server. This information will enable the SPARC client to send a request
to that server to boot and begin the install process. To set up this
information in the boot PROM follow the instructions below. Note that the
client to be provisioned does not have to be on the same subnet as the AI
server.
{b} ok setenv network-boot-arguments
host-ip=<client-ip>,router-ip=<router-ip>,\
subnet-mask=<mask>,hostname=<name-of-client>,\
file=http://<aiserver-ip>:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi
{b} ok boot net - installwhere:
-
client-ipis the IP address of system to have Solaris installed -
router-ipis the IP address of the router. If AIArtificial Intelligence server and client are on same private subnet, use the AIArtificial Intelligence server's IP. Typically the router is xxx.xxx.xxx.1 or xxx.xxx.xxx.254. -
subnet-maskis the network mask, e.g. 255.255.255.0. -
name-of-clientis the hostname assigned to the client on which Solaris will be installed. -
aiserver-ipis the IP address of the AIArtificial Intelligence Server
X86 Clients
Verified
- Boot from Solaris 11.1 Automated Installer (AIArtificial Intelligence) DVDDigital Versatile Disk media.
- Select the first GRUB option for a "custom" install.
- When prompted for an URLUniform Resource Locator to the installer file, enter: http://10.3.2.188:5555/Solaris_11_1_X86/local_repo
- Allow installation to finish.
