SUMMARY: Jumpstart flash Archive doubt



Hi Gurus,

Thanks to Darren Dunham for his Quick Response.
The answer is:

"You always run add_install_client on the boot server for the jumpstart.
The flash should work, but I would recommend always using a jumpstart
client image more recent than the flash image. In other words, I would
want a Solaris 10 jumpstart image to install a Solaris 10 flash."

My Original Question was:



>I have setup a Jumpstart Server to use Flash Archive Soalris 9. In my
>old Jumpstart i used to use add_install_client from
>/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_9_09-05/Solaris_9/Tools to add client. Now with
>Flash Archive (archive_location nfs
>128.137.27.160:/export/install/flash/s10_0305_SUNWCXall_EIS.flar) in
>profile from which location to run add_install_client? Do i have to run
>set_install_server for Solaris 9 or copy add_install_client from Soalris
>CD and run from any location?
>Pelase help.
