The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I configure Solaris10 jumpstart

Asked by mick_thompson in Unix Setup, Sun Solaris

Tags: jumpstart, solaris

I am attempting to configure a jumpstart server on my Solaris10 Virtual Machine.  I have setup the install server and created various configuration files etc.  When I execute "boot net - install" from the client machine it gets its IP etc. but then defaults to interactive.  I guess my configuration is missing something but I can't identify what.  Can anyone help?

Here are my configuration files.

begin:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Begin Script for JumpStart mick_server..."

profile:
# install type MUST be first
install_type      initial_install
# install all clusters
cluster            SUNCWall
# format the entire disk
fdisk      all      solaris      all
# specify system as server
system_type      server
# define how disk is partitioned
partitioning      explicit
filesys            c0t0d0s0      10000      /
filesys         c0t0d0s1      4000      swap
filesys         c0t0d0s3      10000      /usr
filesys         c0t0d0s4      10000      /var
filesys         c0t0d0s5      10000      /export/home
filesys         c0t0d0s6      60000      /opt

sysidcfg:
system_locale=en_IE.UTF-8
timeserver=localhost
timezone=EIRE
terminal=vt100
name_service=NONE
root_password=IigpXDur1oEiM
network_interface=bge0 {hostname=mick_server netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6-no default_route=10.10.10.1}

rules:
hostname mick_server begin profile finish

finish:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Finish Script for JumpStart mick_server..."
echo "Get rid of the nfs prompt during the initial boot"
touch /a/etc/.NFS4inst_state.domain

Here is what is shared in dfstab:
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /jumpstart/boot
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /jumpstart/install
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /jumpstart/config
