I have one sparc machine witch runs as as allround server. That machine will have jumpstart server on it. Then i have another sparc machine (a test machine) who i will install over the network with. I have never seen a jumpstart server nor used one? where do i start? i have read some documentation on suns homepage.

Try this: 1) mkdir /export/jumpstart (on some partions that has space about 600mg) 2) cd /cdrom/solaris/s0/Tools 3) ./setup_install_server /export/jumpstart (dir Solaris CD image your system) 4) cd /export/jumpstart/Solaris_2.7/Misc/jumpstart_sample 5) vi rules Example’s: disksize c0t0d0 8000-8500 - graco1_9gb u10_finish (would build system with 9gb drive) disksize c0t0d0 3800-4000 - graco1_4gb u10_finish (would build system with 4gb drive) 6) vi /etc/hosts add all machines to be loaded (add timehosts to server) 7) vi /etc/ethers (if running nis change nis server) 8:20:7c:bf:c9 host1 add all systems to be loaded 8) vi graco1_9gb install_type initial_install system_type standalone partitioning explicit cluster SUNWCuser (Base package) package SUNWman (Added to base) package SUNWolslb package SUNWdfb package SUNWsra package SUNWcg6h package SUNWxwoft package SUNWxwslb filesys c0t0d0s0 2002 / filesys c0t0d0s1 500 swap filesys c0t0d0s7 free /export/home 9) ./check 10) cd ../../Tools 11) vi /etc/dfs/dfstab (put /export/home/jumpstart in) 12) ./add_install_client -c server:/export/home/jumpstart/Solaris2.7/Misc/jumpstart_example host1 sun4u do this for all systems to be loaded this updates /etc/bootparams 13) plug system onto network and turn on, at "OK" prompt -> boot net – install 14) vi /etc/dfs/dfstab (put /export/home back in) After all machine’s are loaded

When I enter this command ./setup_install_server /export/jumpstart system displays the following error: ./setup_install_server:test: argument expected please help me out here
