4.3 Setting Up Diskless Clients

4.3.1 Setting Up to Write to the Server /usr Partition

4-12
Use the netstat (8c) utility to check for hme<num> interfaces. For example:
Address
Ipkts
avon
197315
avon-bf0
184858
avon-bf1
0
localhost
11418
An asterisk (*) following an interface name, such as hme1 as shown in the
above example, indicates that the interface is down, that is, you have not used
ifconfig to bring the interface up.
You can also use ifconfig to check on a particular interface, for example:
hostname # ifconfig hme0
hme0: flags=63<UP,DROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING>
inet < IP_address > netmask < netmask > broadcast < address >
ether < MAC_address >
The string <UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING> indicates that the
SunFastEthernet Adapter interface is correctly installed and configured.
This section tells you how to set up a server so that you can boot and run
diskless client workstations over the SunFastEthernet Adapter. This setup
includes building a kernel that supports the SunFastEthernet Adapter
interface.
If your server exports /usr read-only to the diskless client, then you need to
refer to the "System Administrators Guide" for the server operating system, to
find out how to export the /usr filesystem read/write to the diskless client.
