Operating Systems Solaris Jumpstart Question: Update Image? Post 302503692 by Keepcase on Friday 11th of March 2011 10:25:29 AM
Old 03-11-2011
So what we did was we moved the original iso image into another directory then ran the setup_install_server script into the original iso image directory

we then ran our usual wrapper script that would call the add_client_server when adding a jumpstart client to our jumpstart server

the boot, config and config_install locations are all the same in our /etc/bootparams

we made sure to keep our config location the same as the /etc/bootparams

and the sysidcfg and profiles do exist;
If I re-install a jumpstart image do we also have to re-install the boot server as well? (we have the boot server and install server on the same machine)

When I've looked at official documentation all I see is

Code:
# ./setup_install_server -b /export/install

But on the below link I saw the CPU architecture supplied with the script; is this just incorrect?

Code:
# ./setup_install_server -b /export/install sun4u
