Configuring static IP client for Automatic Installer

(Solaris 11)

In official Oracle documentation, you require a DHCP in

order to configure AI server for your environment.
Following the steps below will allow you to use static IP to
boot and install from an AI server!

# installadm create-service -n s11-sparc -a sparc -y

Warning: Service svc:/network/dns/multicast:default is not online.

Creating default-sparc alias.

No local DHCP configuration found. This service is the default

alias for all SPARC clients. If not already in place, the following should
be added to the DHCP configuration:
Boot file : http://10.4.2.110:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi (http://10.4.2.110:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi)

# installadm export -n default-sparc -m orig_default -o /export/home/admin/default.xml

Modify the AI manifest to boot from the AI server

# vi /export/home/admin/default.xml

<publisher name=”solaris”>
<origin name=”http://10.4.2.110:80″/&gt (http://10.4.2.110:80″/&gt);
</publisher>

# installadm update-manifest -n default-sparc -f /export/home/admin/default.xml

# installadm update-manifest -n s11-sparc -f /export/home/admin/default.xml

Add AI client MAC address to the AI Server

# installadm create-client -e 00:14:4f:fb:7:de -n s11-sparc (adding clients from AI server)

On the AI client, run the following commands at the OKP level.

# ok setenv network-boot-arguments host-ip=10.4.2.69,router-ip=10.4.2.1,subnet-

mask=255.255.255.0,hostname=asiapcsovn2,file=http://10.4.2.110:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi

# ok boot net – install
