Introduction

Background

The JumpStart Enterprise Toolkit is an installation tool originally created by Marty Lee and Michael Ramchand as part of a Sun Professional Services UK initiative. It is based on JumpStart technology which is available within the Solaris Operating Environment. It builds upon the basic operating system functionality of JumpStart to provide a modular approach to post installation configuration. It also implements recommended practice gained from Professional Services extensive experience of installing and configuring Sun servers.

Document Purpose

The purpose of this document is to:

  • Explain how to install and configure the toolkit
  • Define how to use the toolkit to build a target server
  • Illustrate how to maintain the toolkit configuration

This document does not cover the underlying JumpStart technology in any great depth. Further information on how JumpStart works can be found in the online documentation at http://docs.sun.com, or in the book 'Automating Solaris Installations. ISBN 0-13-312505-X'
