Network installation on Sun Fire v100


Hey guys I have a sunfire v100 server, I'm trying to install Solaris 10 on it however it doesn't have a dvd drive. How can I put the image on a NFS and boot off of the ISO or something?

Create a JumpStart server on the same subnet. Easiest is if you have another Solaris server to do it on, but you can also use a Linux server. Search the web.

Sun has some good & newer documentation for it on their site too.

once you have your jumpstart server set, yes.
