PXE/Jumpstart server configuration

The follow assumes that the PXE is being setup on a private subnet
of 192.168.1.0, and that the server is being setup as 192.168.1.77
and is also named jazz. Please edit these files as needed to reflect
the proper network that you use, as well as the hostname in the
/etc/hosts file. Change the client names and/or IPs to reflect what
you would like to serve out.

NOTE: I use this method on my laptop and fake out the system to think
that the DNS and router are the laptop IP, so it always goes to the
laptop for DNS and/or routing, which can resolve in it's local files
on the laptop.

• All files listed below can be downloaded in one gzip tarball:
  pxe_files.tgz
  
  
• Unconfigure existing DHCP server:
  

  dhcpconfig -Ux
  

• Create new directories:
  

  mkdir -p /export/home/pxe/s10
  mkdir -p /export/home/dhcp
  mkdir -p /tftpboot/pxe/ni
  

• Configure DHCP server to store all of its files in /export/home/dhcp
  

  dhcpconfig -D -r SUNWfiles -p /export/home/dhcp
  Created DHCP configuration file.
  Created dhcptab.
  Added "Locale" macro to dhcptab.
  Added server macro to dhcptab - xxx.
  DHCP server started.
  

• Configure DHCP for each network that your PXE server is going to handle:
  

  dhcpconfig -N $NETWORK -a $NETADDR -m $NETMASK -y $NISDOMAIN
  

  For example:
  
  
  
  • $NETWORK = 192.168.1.0
  • $NETADDR = 192.168.1.77
  • $NETMASK = 255.255.255.0
  • $NISDOMAIN = yourdomain.com
  
  i.e., as follows: (don't worry about the NIS Domain, even if you don't use NIS)
  
  dhcpconfig -N 192.168.1.0 -a 192.168.1.77 -m 255.255.255.0 -y yourdomain.com
  
  
  
• Add standard DHCP macros:

  dhtadm -A -s SrootOpt -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,1,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SrootIP4 -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,2,IP,1,1'
  dhtadm -A -s SrootNM -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,3,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SrootPTH -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,4,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SswapIP4 -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,5,IP,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SswapPTH -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,6,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SbootFIL -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,7,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s Stz -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,8,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SbootRS -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,9,NUMBER,2,1'
  dhtadm -A -s SinstIP4 -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,10,IP,1,1'
  dhtadm -A -s SinstNM -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,11,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SinstPTH -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,12,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SsysidCF -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,13,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SjumpsCF -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,14,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s Sterm -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,15,ASCII,1,0'
  dhtadm -A -s SbootURI -d 'Vendor=SUNW.Ultra-1 SUNW.Ultra-30 SUNW.i86pc,16,ASCII,1,0'
  

• Download the following files, and put them in /export/home/pxe
  pxe-add
  pxe-del
  MACHINES
  NETWORKS
  


• Download the following file, and put it in /export/home/pxe/s10
  add-new-build
  


• Configure per-network DHCP macros
  Fore Example:

  dhtadm -M -m 192.168.1.0 -d ':Subnet=255.255.255.0:RDiscvyF=0:Broadcst=192.168.1.255:\
  Router=192.168.1.1:SinstIP4=192.168.1.77:SrootIP4=192.168.1.77:BootSrvA=192.168.1.77:\
  SrootNM="`hostname`":SinstNM="`hostname`":'
  

• Add nfs shares to /etc/dfs/dfstab:
  

  share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /export/home
  share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /tftpboot/pxe
  share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /tftpboot/pxe/ni
  



• Add mounts to the loopback filesystem in /etc/vfstab:
  

  /export/home/pxe - /tftpboot/pxe        lofs    -       yes     -
  /export/home     - /tftpboot/pxe/ni     lofs    -       yes     -

• Edit /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment out the tftp line.



• Run inetconv to create the SMF service:
  
  inetconv
  


• Add the clients to /etc/hosts:
  

  192.168.1.101   client1
  192.168.1.102   client2
  192.168.1.103   client3
  192.168.1.104   client4
  192.168.1.105   client5
  192.168.1.106   client6
  192.168.1.107   client7
  192.168.1.108   client8
  

• Create the directory, mount a DVD on the loopback filesystem,
  and run setup_install_server:

  mkdir -p /export/home/s10/GA
  lofiadm -a [fullpath]/sol-10-GA-x86-dvd-iso
  mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt  (assumes /dev/lofi/1 was return from lofiadm)
  cd /mnt/Solaris_10/Tools
  ./setup_install_server /export/home/s10/GA

  NOTE: Either make sure all services are restarted or reboot so change are
        in place.
  

• Edit NETWORKS and MACHINES files, then run pxe-add script:
  

  cd /export/home/pxe
  ./pxe-add clientN   (where N represents one of the clients added...1, 2, 3, etc...)

  Each time you PXE, you will need to add the MAC address of the NIC and run pxe-add.
  All services will be restarted, the clients will be updated, and away you go...

That's it!
