Automate Solaris x86 Jumpstart

Hi All,

Is there a possible way to fully automate Solaris x86 jumpstart or make the x86 jumpstart unattended?

I'm currently checking the possible options on how can I do the x86 jumpstart to be kicked off during midnight.

We have an automated jumpstart (start to run from midnight) for Solaris 10 sparc, wherein we implemented it with shell script + expect script to pass the parameters and boot args, and Im looking at the possibility of doing this for Solaris 10 x86 as well.

Any insights are well appreciated on which scripting mechanism (ie. expect script) I need to use to automate the connection to ILOM? Load the GRUB Menu and choose option from the GRUB Menu?

Thanks in advance.
