Operating Systems Solaris external DVD-ROM drive for our datacentre Post 302097448 by reborg on Friday 24th of November 2006 11:34:01 AM

Really it shouldn't matter. If the protocol is correct and the machine is capable of booting from that protocol, then it shouldn't matter what you use. I generally just use whatever is lying around, sometimes it's old sun stuff sometimes not, it really doesn't matter.

Do you really even need to use a CD or DVD? I deal with a large number of servers, and never use CDs or DVDs in the datacenter. Media is loaded onto a single provisioning server and from there is installed on any, and all, other systems whether this is bare metal or otherwise.

Installing Solaris x86 through an external DVD drive through the USB port...

Is there a way to install Solaris 10 x86 with an external DVD drive that connects through the USB port? I would think I would run GRUB off of a floppy disk and somehow use that to make it look to the USB port to boot from but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me out? (1 Reply)

NAME
slist - Lists available NetWare Servers SYNOPSIS
slist [ pattern ] DESCRIPTION
slist lists all NetWare Servers available in your network. If slist does not print to a tty, the decorative header line is not printed, so that you can count the servers on your network by doing slist | wc -l OPTIONS
pattern pattern is used to list only servers whose names match the specified pattern. For a server to be listed, the pattern must match the full server name. You can use wildcards for the pattern, but you must protect these wildcards from any command line expansion by quoting. Case doesn't matter. EXAMPLE
slist "I*" or slist "i*" List all available Netware servers on your Network, that begin with an "I". SEE ALSO
ncpmount(8), ncpumount(8), pqlist(1), nprint(1) CREDITS
slist was written by Volker Lendecke (lendecke@math.uni-goettingen.de) BUGS
slist works only in IPX environment, as it uses SAP to find first server and then Bindery to get list of servers. slist 01/07/1996 SLIST(1)
