Preparing The Install Server - HP Dl180 - G6 E5504 2X2gb 4Lff Svr Deployment Manual

Preparing the install server

In the following procedure, the installation media is assumed to be mounted at /mnt, and the
installation media root directory is /export/home/install. Substitute the installation media as
necessary to fit the target environment.
Ensure you have met all the requirements for installation and have all the necessary tools
1.
available for installation. For more information, see "Prerequisites for preparing an install
server."
Mount the DVD or the first CD on the install server.
2.
○
If using physical media (or iLO virtual media), insert or connect the media. Solaris
automatically mounts the disc. The autoselected mount point can be determined from the
output of, for example, df(1). If Solaris does not automatically mount the disc, it can be
manually mounted using mount(1M). To gather more information regarding your media
drive, you can enter the following:
# rmformat -l
○
If using ISO images, mount the DVD or the first CD by entering the following:
# lofiadm -a .../sol-10-u3-ga-x86-v1.iso
/dev/lofi/1
# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
Copy the contents of the DVD or the first CD to disk by entering the following:
3.
# cd /mnt/Solaris_10/Tools
# ./setup_install_server /export/home/install
Unmount the DVD or the first CD.
4.
○
If using physical or iLO virtual media, unmount the media using eject(1) (if automounted) or
umount(1M) (if manually mounted).
○
If using ISO images, unmount the DVD or the first CD by entering the following:
# umount /mnt
# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1
If using CD media, copy the remaining CDs. For each additional CD:
5.
Mount the next CD or ISO image.
a.
Copy the contents of the CD to disk by entering the following:
b.
# cd /mnt/Solaris_10/Tools
# ./add_to_install_server /export/home/install
Unmount the CD.
c.
If necessary, share the installation media root directory through NFS for client access.
6.
Verify that the directory is shared:
a.
# share | grep /export/home/install
If the installation media root directory is not listed, or if it is not shared with anon=0, then:
b.
Add the following line to /etc/dfs/dfstab:
i
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/home/install
Activate the NFS share:
ii
# shareall
