Establishment of Automatic Installation (AI server) for Solaris 11

The establishment of the automatic installation (AI server) of Solaris 11 first talks about my operating environment: SunOS test13 5.11 11.1 i86pc i386 i86pc, run on the Virtual Machine ESX server 1: first set up dhcp server 1. root @ test13: /repo/repoea # pkg list | grep dhcpnetwork/dhcp/dhcpmgr 0.5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.2 I -- network/dhcp/dhcpmgr/locale 0.5.11-Restart I -- service/network/dhcp 0.5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.2 -- service/network/dhcp/datastore/binfiles 0.5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.2 I -- service/netw Ork/dhcp/isc-dhcp 4.1.0.6-0.175.1.0.0.24.0 I -- 2. install the dhcp package, pkg install network/dhcp/dhcpmgr/locale service/network/dhcp/datastore/binfiles service/network/dhcp/isc-dhcp 3. configure dhcp dhcpconfig-D-r SUNWfiles-p/var/dhcp dhcpconfig-N 10.200.117.0-t 10.200.117.1 (-N indicates the network segment and-t indicates the default route) dhtadm-A-m Solaris-11-ea-sparc-d': DNSdmain = cdc.veritas.com: DNSserv = 10.200.117. 18: BootSrvA = 10.200.117.245: BootFile = "http: // 10.200.117.245: 5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi": Subnet = 255.255.0: Router = 10.200.117.1: '(create a macro, here, the BootFile is followed by the service of the created ai service.

Now we can restart the machine to automatically install the system through the ai server.
