4. Set up the host domain as an install client.
ssp# ./add_install_client domain_name sun4u
The add_install_client command should share the CD across the net. If an
error occurs, you may receive the following message:
panic-boot: Could not mount filesystem
If you receive this message, use the following share(1M) command to correct the
error.
ssp# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
If the /etc/nsswitch.conf file contains a DNS entry in its host list, you may
receive the following warning:
Error: domain_name does not exist in the NIS ethers map.
If you receive this message, you need to remove the DNS entry in the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file, to add the domain_name to the ethers map if the name is
not already in the map, and to re-run the add_install_client(1M) command.
5. Check to see if Patch 105684 has been installed.
ssp# showrev -p | grep 105684
If you have not upgraded the SSP software to SSP 3.1.1 or SSP 3.2 and if Patch
105684 is not installed, you need to install Patch 105684-04, at a minimum. You can
obtain this patch from http://www.sunsolve.com. Refer to the patch README
file for directions on how to install the patch.
6. Exit the superuser level.
7. Use the domain_status(1M) command to ensure that the OS version is set to the
proper value.
If you upgraded the SSP software to SSP 3.1.1 or SSP 3.2, the OS version should be
5.7. If you did not upgrade the SSP software, the OS version should be 2.7. If the OS
version is set to the proper value, proceed to Step 8. If not, perform the following
steps:
