Abstract

Sun Microsystems’ Solaris JumpStart technology is used to automate the installation of the Solaris Operating System and other associated software on multiple nodes of a network.

Using Solaris JumpStart software on the Solaris 10 OS for x86/x64 platforms is essentially the same as on Solaris 10 OS for SPARC platforms. However, there are some subtle differences that need to be addressed for correct operation.

This document provides the steps and explanations necessary to set up a JumpStart server for the Solaris 10 OS on a Sun x86/x64 machine, along with configuring JumpStart for two or more clients.

As a general reference, refer to the Sun online document Using Custom JumpStart.
