Answer / phani
The Jump start feature is an automatic installation process
available in the Solaris operating environment. It allows
system administrators to categorize machines on their
network and automatically install systems based on the
category to which a system belongs.
· Simplifies installations
· Speed - Faster then CD-ROM installation
· Allows unattended installation
· Replication - same systems across the enterprise
Main configuration files are is sysidcfg, ethers, rules. You
can copy the image of the OS in the server and run boot-net
install on client systems.
