Note: I start to write this note the first time I tried jumpstart. So, I guess there are some errors.

My jumpstart was a Solaris 9, running in Sun Fire V120.

Check if you have following services :

• tftp server
• rarpd (/usr/sbin/in.rarpd)
• NFS server

Packages :

• SUNWbsr / SUNWbsu
• SUNWmdb
• SUNWadmc
• SUNWadmfw
• SUNWinst

• mkdir /export/Solaris /export/Solaris/5.9 /export/Solaris/5.10
• mkdir /export/jumpstart
• share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/Solaris
• share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/jumpstart

Since I want rarpd listen only in my eri1 device, I modify the file /etc/init.d to have :

/usr/sbin/in.rarpd eri 1

Since I install the jumpstart for both Sol9 and 10, I use main files which comes with the latest version

• cd /cdrom/sol_10_305_sparc/s0/Solaris_10/Tools/
• ./setup_install_server /export/Solaris/5.10
• cd ../Misc/jumpstart_sample/
• mkdir /export/jumpstart/bin
• cp check /export/jumpstart/bin/
• mkdir /tftpboot

Do the following command for each CD you have :

• ./add_to_install_server /export/Solaris/5.10

• cd /export/Solaris/5.10/Solaris_10/Tools
• ./add_install_client -i 192.168.10.18 -s 192.168.10.2:/export/Solaris/5.10 -c 192.168.10.2:/export/jumpstart -p 192.168.10.2:/export/Solaris/5.10 gits.j2ee.fimasys.fr sun4u

Don't forget to check if the hardware address is in /etc/ethers

0:3:ba:a1:46:d          chihiro.j2ee.fimasys.fr

This - very simple - file is used by the Reverse ARP (RARP) daemon. The box will receive its IP (resolved from the hostname) from the jumpstart server, via an ARP reply.

Note: In this example, I used a wildcard definition. So the same configurations files like sysidcfg are read by all clients. Though, you can use per hostname definition.

*  root=192.168.10.2:/export/Solaris/5.10/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot \ 
   install=192.168.10.2:/export/Solaris/5.10 \
   boottype=:in \
   install_config=192.168.10.2:/export/jumpstart \
   rootopts=:rsize=32768  \
   sysid_config=192.168.10.2:/export/Solaris/5.10

Don't forget to run ./check if you change the rules files.

I never used a begin script at this time.

#!/bin/sh
 
echo "Setting user profile for root"
 
# set the root password
PASSWD=xxxxxxxxx
 
# create a temporary input file
cp /a/etc/shadow /a/etc/shadow.orig
cp /a/etc/passwd /a/etc/passwd.orig
 
nawk -F: '{
        if ( $1 == "root" )
            printf"%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s\n",$1,passwd,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9
        else
            printf"%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9
        }' passwd="$PASSWD" /a/etc/shadow.orig > /a/etc/shadow
 
nawk -F: '{
      if ( $1 == "root" )
            printf "%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s\n", $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,"/root","/usr/bin/bash"
      else 
            printf "%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s:%s\n", $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7
      }' /a/etc/passwd.orig > /a/etc/passwd
 
 
# reset the permissions on the new /etc/shadow file to whatever is was
# set to during the install
perm=`grep '^/etc/shadow e' /a/var/sadm/install/contents | (read f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 ; echo $f4)`
chmod $perm /a/etc/shadow
 
perm=`grep '^/etc/passwd e' /a/var/sadm/install/contents | (read f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 ; echo $f4)`
chmod $perm /a/etc/passwd
 
# remove the temporary file
rm -f /a/etc/shadow.orig
rm -f /a/etc/passwd.orig
 
mkdir /a/root
chmod 750 /a/root
 
# set the flag so sysidroot won't prompt for the root password
sed -e 's/0     # root/1        # root/' ${SI_SYS_STATE} > /tmp/state.$$
mv /tmp/state.$$ ${SI_SYS_STATE}

As you can see, I create the root password, and set the $HOME to /root, $SHELL to /usr/bin/bash
