Solaris JumpStart™
Solaris JumpStart™ software is an automated system that can install and set up a Solaris system anywhere on your network without any user interaction. Enterprise customers wishing to install or upgrade their Solaris systems on a larger scale or in a replicated fashion can take advantage of Solaris JumpStart capabilities. With Solaris JumpStart software, the Solaris Operating Environment and application software can be placed on centralized install servers and the install process can be customized by senior administrators. This capability reduces administrative costs by enabling less-experienced administrators -- or even end users -- to install the software they need.
Network administrators can take advantage of Sun Enterprise™ Web Start Server to set up and customize Solaris JumpStart for their networks. In the latest version, Solaris JumpStart software has been enhanced to support installations in a DHCP environment
