Configuring JumpStart Servers to Provision Sun x86-64 Systems

by Pierre Reynes
February, 2005

Organizations are constantly challenged to deploy systems throughout the enterprise with consistent and reliable configurations. Solaris JumpStart technology provides a mechanism for fully automating the Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) installation process. With the ability to locate installation information over the network or from a local CD-ROM drive, and use customized profiles, JumpStart facilitates the rapid and consistent deployment of Solaris OS-based systems.

Many organizations have relied on UltraSPARC/Solaris platforms for years, and use JumpStart technology for operating system deployment. With the introduction of Sun x86-64 based systems, organizations are now seeking ways to use existing JumpStart servers to deploy the Solaris OS and Linux operating environment on Sun x86-64 based systems. This article describes how to modify existing JumpStart servers to support the deployment of the Solaris OS and Linux operating environment on Sun x86-64 based systems, as well as how to use standard Linux installation tools for configuring Sun x86-64 based systems.
