Jumpstart Question
Hi Guys,
I am little bit confused about jumpstart on solaris 10.
Do you need the mac address for each system you intend to jumpstart? If you need the mac address, how will you get it? Say your server is in another location and you want to jumpstart it, how will you do it?
Clarification on this will really be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello All,
Do I really need to add the install server name in the /etc/hosts file? Why do we need to add? If I don't add it is not working. Isn't it only arp/rarp works here? I thought it works in mac address level. thanks in advance. (3 Replies)
