Today, I have received a call that my friend wanted me to build a network installation server with sparc of SUN Solaris 10.

Assume that there is a Sun Solaris10 Server with a good dvd-rom. 

1.login the system as root or there is a role which equivalent root

2. Insert the DVD media to DVD-ROM

3.Create the directory to contain the DVD image
#mkdir -p /export/home/dvdsparc

4. Mount the DVD disk and change to the Tools directory

#cd /cdrom/Solaris10/Tools/
5. Execute the setup_install_server script to copy the image to the installaion path
   #./setup_install_server /export/home/dvdsparc
 It will be spend some time.

6. Edit the /etc/hosts file to add the clients' hostname and ip address
  as following:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1                 localhost
192.168.8.89      test1   
192.168.8.90      test2   
192.168.8.91      test3   
7. Edit the /etc/ether file to add the clients' hostname and machine address
as following:

08:00:27:E1:B7:21 test1
08:2b:27:E1:B5:21 test2
00:3b:27:E5:B7:21 test3

8. Add the client machine on the Server pc
   Change to the path as /export/home/dvdsparc/Solaris10/Tools
Execute following command to add the clinet
#./add_install_client -s 08:00:27:E1:B7:21 test1 sun4u

Congratulate you building the Server successfully
