Jumpstart server space requirements for Sparc architecture for Solaris 8 04/01:

Size (MB)	Directory	Description
316	Solaris_8/Product	Packages
101	Solaris_8/EA	Unbundled/prelim packages
157	Solaris_8/Tools	Tools and Boot/ miniroot
777	Solaris_8	Total

For the clients, the installed size varies depending on the software packages installed.

From Table 2-1 in the Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide:

Software Group	Cluster	Recommended Disk Space
Entire Distribution + OEM Support	SUNWCXall	2.4 GB
Entire Distribution	SUNWCall	2.3 GB
Developer System Support	SUNWCprog	1.9 GB
End User System Support	SUNWCuser	1.6 GB

These estimates are very generous. On an Blade-100 with 256 MB of RAM and a 14.25 GB hard drive, installing the SUNWCall cluster took 788 MB.

By default, Jumpstart partitioned the machine as follows:

/	root	1.25 GB
swap	swap	148 MB
/export/home	home	12.5 GB

Install times for the above machine with a 100Mb, full-duplex ethernet connection are approximately 50 min for a SUNWCall install.

Full time for above install plus all current patches (approximately 340 patches installed) was approximately 1:40.
