Adding a Jumpstart Client

(continued)
  • A sample entry in the /etc/bootparams looks as follows: 
    	damascus.cs.duke.edu \
	root=sunfish:/var/tmp/jumpstart/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot \
	install=sunfish:/var/tmp/jumpstart/Solaris_8 \
	boottype=:in \
	sysid_config=cuckoo:/cs/cuckoo/install/config/proto/sparc \
	install_config=cuckoo:/cs/cuckoo/install/config \
	rootopts=:rsize=32768
    In this example, the machine damascus is using sunfish as it's Boot and Install server, while getting its Configuration information from cuckoo.

  • Entries can be removed from the jumpstart server by running 
    		rm_install_client  hostname
    This removes the entry from the /etc/bootparams file and removes the entires from the /tftboot directory.
