27897   Creating a jumpstart image that requires the Netra X1 drivers and an OECD   9 Aug 2001

Status Issued

Description

Synopsis:

To create a jumpstart image (with either Solaris 8 10/00 or Solaris 8 1/01) that will be capable of jumpstarting both Netra X1 systems and either the Sunblade 100 or the Netra t1 AC200/DC200, you must modify the image in a certain order. If you modify the image with the Netra X1 drivers first and then try to modify the image with the Operating Environment CD, it will not run because the script believes that it has already been patched. If, however, you modify the jumpstart image with the Operating Environment CD first and then modify it with the Netra X1 drivers, the scripts will run fine.

Procedure:

The following is the proper procedure for creating a jumpstart image and then adding support for Sunblade 100, Netra t1 AC200/DC200, and Netra X1 systems.

NOTE: FOR THE IMAGE TO WORK PROPERLY, YOU MUST ADD THE SUPPORT FOR THE SUNBLADE 100 AND NETRA T1 AC200/DC200 BEFORE ADDING SUPPORT FOR THE NETRA X1.

1) Create a Jumpstart Image:

Insert the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 CD

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_8/Tools

# ./setup_install_server install_dir_path (i.e. /export/install)

When the script finishes, insert the Solaris 8 Software 2 of 2 CD and then complete the creation of the image

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_8/Tools

# ./add_to_install_server install_dir_path

2) Add Support for the Sunblade 100 and Netra t1 AC200/DC200 Systems.

Insert the "Operating Environment Installation CD."

Make sure that the version of the CD matches the version of your image.

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0

# ./modify_install_server.sp -r 8 -d install_dir_path

3) Add Support for the Netra X1 System.

On the server with the jumpstart image, make a directory in /tmp with the permissions 777 to download the scripts into.

# mkdir -m 777 /tmp/NetraX1

Go to the web site http://www.sun.com/netra and download the latest "Netra X1 Software Drivers":

Download mis.netra-x1.259-3836-03.zip , Solaris/SPARC (12.13 MB ) and save the file into the directory you just created.

Unzip the mis.netra-x1.259-3836-03.zip file:

# cd /tmp/NetraX1

# unzip mis.netra-x1.259-3836-03.zip

Modify the Image with the Netra X1 drivers:

# ./modify_install_server.netra -d install_dir_path

Note: The script log file is located in /tmp/modify_install_server.####
