2.Use the add_install_client script to add the client machine

./add_install_client -i ipaddr

-e ethernetid client_name platform_group

Where: ipaddr is the tcp/ip address of the client

ethernetid is the ethernet hardware (mac) address of the client client_name is the client’s system name platform_group is the client’s vendor defined hardware group

Example: ./add_install_client -i 192.168.103.124 –e 00:08:26:02:25:34 sunsys sun4u

Note: You can obtain the platform_group from a machine of the same type as the target client using the uname –mcommand.

Booting the Client using ITHPS/ITSPS drivers

Now you can begin the installation of Solaris to the client target machine via the boot and install server. On the client machine, boot the network install kit you created in the preceding steps as follows:

ok boot net -v

Note: It is important to choose "Manual Reboot" rather than "Auto Reboot" during the installation of Solaris on the target machine. If you choose "Auto Reboot", you will not have the opportunity to complete the installation of the IntraServer SCSI drivers and your system will fail to boot.

Once the installation has completed and the system is waiting to be manually rebooted, proceed to a console window and run the following script:

/sbin/itisinst

This will copy and install the drivers from the boot server to the newly created Solaris installation. Once this script has been run, the IntraServer device driver installation is complete and the system can be rebooted.
