Hi All,
I have configured the JumpStart server on Solaris 10.
I install Solaris 10 and Solaris 9 also using flash installation.
When I run installation installer ask me 2 or 3 questions (I don't exactly remember) about NFS and then it install automatically.
Does anybody know how to avoid these few questions at the beginning of installation?
Thanks,
Daniel
The first question is:
劅 The Solaris Installation Program 劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅劅
The Solaris installation program is divided into a series of short sections
where you'll be prompted to provide information for the installation. At
the end of each section, you'll be able to change the selections you've
made before continuing.
About navigation...
- The mouse cannot be used
- If your keyboard does not have function keys, or they do not
respond, press ESC; the legend at the bottom of the screen
will change to show the ESC keys to use for navigation.

On the next screens, you must identify this system as networked or
non-networked, and set the default time zone and date/time.
If this system is networked, the software will try to find the information
it needs to identify your system; you will be prompted to supply any
information it cannot find.

NFS version 4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from thesystem's naming services. The derived domain name is sufficient for mostconfigurations. In a few cases, mounts that cross domain boundaries mightcause files to appear to be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common domain name.
The current NFSv4 default domain is: ""

Again I select continue and then the Solaris Express installs automatically.
I wouldn't rely on a book unless you knew exactly which version it was talking about.
The allowable and required elements in sysidcfg often change from release to release. Use the install documentation for the specific release that you are trying to install to find the keywords and syntax.
The version of the OS running on the jumpstart server usually doesn't matter much.
