4962226: Warning: Jumpstart on Solaris x86 Is Not Single Shot

Caution – In some circumstances a system administrator might choose to boot a
blade from the network to recover frompossible errors on its hard disk. If you have
configured the blade to perform a Jumpstart installation, any subsequent network
boot of the blade will by default result in a Jumpstart installation being performed.
This will erase the contents of the hard disk. Therefore, to preventthe blade from
executing a Jumpstart installation (after the first operating system installation), we
recommend you remove the SjumpsCF and SsysidCF option names from the
blade’s client-specific macro after the initial Jumpstart installation has completed.
(This network booting behavior is different fromthat of blades running SPARC
Solaris.)
