One of the goals in the computer industry today is to lower the cost of ownership -- i.e., minimize the direct system administration tasks (and thus the cost) of installing, maintaining, upgrading, and customizing systems. The custom JumpStart? (auto-install) installation software provided with the Solaris operating environment for SPARC and X86 was designed with this goal in mind. Focusing exclusively on JumpStart, this book/disk package explains all the steps necessary to automate Solaris installations, describes the Solaris installation process in detail, and provides begin and finish installation scripts that can be adapted to configure systems automatically before or after Solaris is installed. Provides an overview of the custom JumpStart process (with a sample site-setup); shows the details of configuring the network to support custom JumpStart installations; explains how to set up the necessary files to enable custom JumpStart installations; and shows the procedures to boot and install SPARC and x86 systems using custom JumpStart. The working shell scripts provided on diskette ease the automation of pre-and post-installation tasks, such as saving and restoring system data, installing patches, setting up printers, and more. For system administrators responsible for installing Solaris and other pre- and post-installation tasks.
