3.3 Installing as a Diskless Clients
The following procedures describe how to create a boot server for diskless clients
and how to add new diskless clients to the patched boot server. For additional
instructions on installing diskless clients, refer to the appropriate Solaris

3.3.1 Creating a Boot Server for Diskless Clients
This procedure sets up a boot server by starting the operating environment services
required for diskless clients. Once you have set up the boot server, see Section 3.3.2,
“Adding a Diskless Client” on page 3-5 for instructions on adding diskless clients to
the boot server.
To create a boot server for diskless clients:
1. Verify that the IP addresses for all other network interfaces on the boot server
have corresponding host names in the hosts database.
2. Log in to the network server as superuser and change to the /usr/sadm/bin
directory.
3. Use the smosservice command to add boot services to the installation server.
Note – The \ (backslash) in the following code boxes is a line-continuation character
indicating that the command is continued on the next line.
Where:
■ root_password is the root password for the installation server
■ image_directory is the path to the directory where the Solaris install image is stored
■ n is the Solaris OS version you are using.
# cd /usr/sadm/bin
# ./smosservice add -u root -p root_password -- -x mediapath=image_directory \
