SO.. What I want to do is simply reinstall Solaris.. I have version
5.8 in house.. Because of a lack of CDROM I need to jump start from a
remote server. I realize that the boxes must be on the same subnet (no
problem).. The solaris box that has a CDROM is currently Solaris
version 5.8. Here is what I did on the host with the CDROM.
CDROM HOST# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
CDROM HOST# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0/s1
CDROM HOST# cd /cdrom/multi_icd_sol_8_204_sparc /s0
CDROM HOST# ./add_install_client -i 192.168.1.58 -e 0:3:ba:10:7d:79
-s gatescan2.pridemobility.com:/cdrom/cdrom0/s0 gatescan1.scranton.com
sun4u
However, when I boot the client server it seems to look for the host
gatescan2.scranton.com but does not begin install.. It just tells me
nothing to boot from.. Do you have any experience with remote Jump of
Solaris.. Is it a problem because my client OS is not the same as the
remote? I seem to remember reading that somewhere but I cannot confirm..
Any Ideas??
