Losing my solaris virginity

Can you tell that first post was late at night? lol
I did mean SPARC based
I'm actually familiar with the install methods thanks to some install admin stuff we have here. Basically we're moving towards using a 3rd party provisioning tool for all of our server builds (Opsware, aka HP Service Automation). Its Solaris offering is based off of Jumpstart. Originally we had just been using jumpstart, so I'm hoping the move is easy. Basically opsware creates a skeleton of the jumpstart profile file and then allows certain fields to be populated dynamically so you can change configurations as needed (allowing different packages to be installed, different install clusters, etc).
I think what I need is a listing of what the most important fields are (the ones that are absolutely required for an installation).
As for the models we're going to be deploying, they're T5220's.
