Chapter 11 Using SunPCi III Software 123
Preparing SunPCi III Cards for Boot@BootSupport
Each card that you want to configure for Boot@Boot support must have an existing
and unique .ini file and a matching C: drive (and optionally a D: drive). By
convention, the .ini filefor Cardnis named cardn.ini, and is located in the ~/pc
directory for the username under which the SunPCi session or sessions will run.
Note – Remember you must create a new .ini file for each card.Refer to “How to
Create an .ini File Using the -n Option” on page24 for further information.
For example, if the SunPCi sessions run under the root account, the .ini file for
Card1is /pc/card1.ini. The C: drive that is referenced by the card1.ini file can
be anywhere on an accessible file system, but for best performance, the file system
should be physically connected to the machine in which the cards are installed.
For example, the path to a C: drive with the Windows 2000 operating system
installed on it for Card1 might be /files/drives/C.Win2K.diskimage, and the
/pc/card1.ini file would contain the following entry:
After you have created the appropriate cardn.ini file or files,installed the
operating, you can configure the cards for Boot@Boot support. See “Configuring
Multiple Cards WithSunPCi III Software” on page 23.
Configuring SunPCi III Cards for Boot@BootSupport
As with VNC support, you must add each card individually and then enable it to
run. Toadd Boot@Boot support for a card, you use the sunpcidadm command with
the -a option.
For example, to add Boot@Boot support for Card1, use the following command:
[Drives]
C drive = /files/drives/C.Win2K.diskimage
#/opt/SUNWspci3/bin/sunpcidadm -a card1
