Thanks for your suggestion. I will definately configure the JET once I have done with Jumpstart as it is new to me.
Hi MadeInGermany
Thanks for your input. I have configure the rule file as well as profile(sol10update11) file along with bootparam file. Please find below output
Code:
bash-3.2# cat rules## ident "@(#)rules 1.13 10/05/26 SMI”## The rules file is a text file used to create the rules.ok file for# a custom JumpStart installation.
