To automate installation of Solaris from a DVD, the following trick could be used - make a profile jumpstart.tar and point to it during the install. Here are the details:
1. Create a Jumpstart client’s directory in /export/home/jumpstart
mkdir /export/home/jumpstart/client cd /export/home/jumpstart/client
2. Copy there check script from Solaris 10 DVD/s0/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/
cp /cdrom/sol_10_807_sparc/s0/Solaris_10/Misc/jumpstart_sample/check .
3. Create sysidcfg in the client’s directory
name_service=DNS {domain_name=domain.com
name_server=192.168.1.1
search=domain.com,subdomain.domain.com}
network_interface=e1000g0 {hostname=<client_name>
ip_address=192.168.1.100
netmask=255.255.255.0
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=192.168.1.1}
root_password=*********
security_policy=NONE
system_locale=C
terminal=vt100
timezone=Europe/Moscow
timeserver=localhost
nfs4_domain=dynamic4. Create rules
arch sparc && disksize c1t0d0 25000-40000 devfsadm profile36g - arch sparc && disksize c1t0d0 25000-40000 && disksize c1t1d0 25000-40000 devfsadm profile36g-dual - arch sparc && disksize c1t0d0 60000-80000 && disksize c1t1d0 60000-80000 devfsadm profile72g-dual-flash - arch sparc && disksize c1t0d0 130000-150000 && disksize c1t1d0 130000-150000 devfsadm profile146g-dual -
5. Create profiles profile36g, profile36g-dual, profile72g-dual-flash, profile146g-dual
vi profile36g install_type initial_install root_device c1t0d0s0 filesys c1t0d0s0 2000 / filesys c1t0d0s1 4000 swap filesys c1t0d0s3 8000 /usr filesys c1t0d0s4 4000 /var filesys c1t0d0s5 8000 /opt filesys c1t0d0s6 8000 /export/home geo E_Europe cluster SUNWCXall

6. Create devfsadm script
vi devfsadm #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/devfsadm
chmod 755 devfsadm
7. Run check
./check
8. Create jumpstart.tar
tar -cf jumpstart.tar *
9. Copy jumpstart.tar to FTP server
10. Start Solaris install from Solaris 10 DVD
ok boot cdrom - install ask
11. Interrupt it using Ctrl-C after URL: prompt
12. Configure IP
ifconfig e1000g0 192.168.1.100/24 up route add default 192.168.1.1 (if necessary)
13. Download jumpstart.tar from FTP into /tmp/root/etc
14. Remove tmp.sh file and resume installation pointing to jumpstart.tar
rm /tmp/.sh /sbin/install-setup URL: file://127.0.0.1/tmp/root/etc/jumpstart.tar
