Installing The Solaris Operating System Over A Gigaswift Ethernet Network - Sun Microsystems GigaSwift Ethernet Adapter Installation And User Manual

4. Eject the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver CD from the CD-ROM drive.
5. Create a hostname.cenumber file in the diskless client's root directory.
You will need to create an /export/root/client-name/etc/hostname.cenumber
file for the GigaSwift Ethernet interface. See "Configuring the Network Host Files"
on page 25 for instructions.
6. Edit the hosts file in the diskless client's root directory.
Edit the /export/root/client-name/etc/hosts file to include the IP address of
the GigaSwift Ethernet interface. See "Configuring the Network Host Files" on
page 25 for instructions.
7. Set the MAC address on the server side and rebuild the device tree if you want to
boot from the GigaSwift Ethernet port.
8. To boot the diskless client from the GigaSwift Ethernet port, type the following
boot command:
ok boot path-to-device:link-param, -v
Installing the Solaris Operating System
Over a GigaSwift Ethernet Network
The Solaris Advanced Installation Guide describes the full procedure for installing the
Solaris Operating System over the network. The following procedure assumes that
you have created an install server, which contains the image of the Solaris CD, and
that you have set up the client system to be installed over the network.
Note – The Solaris 9 x86 version of the operating system cannot be installed over a
GigaSwift Ethernet interface.
Before you can install the Solaris Operating System on a client system with a
GigaSwift Ethernet adapter, you must first add the GigaSwift Ethernet software
packages to the install server. These software packages are on Sun GigaSwift
Ethernet Driver CD.
Note – Refer to the Solaris Advanced Installation Guide for more information about
installing the Solaris Operating System over the network.
