For custom AI installations, the first task is to assign a client to an installation service.
It's necessary to identify the MAC address used by the client for network booting.
On X86 that's the MAC address of a connected interface associated to PXE.
On SPARC any connected interface can be used for network booting.
For example, a client is associated to the solaris11-i386 installation service as follows:
# installadm create-client -n solaris11-i386 -e 68:b5:99:c1:e6:58
AI may not be able adjust ISC-DCHP at all or exactly as needed.
In any case, check the ISC-DHCP configuration and adjust it, if necessary.
To list assigned clients for all (custom) services:
# installadm list -c
Service Name Client Address Arch Image Path
------------ -------------- ---- ----------
solaris11-i386 08:00:27:AF:4C:5B i386 /export/auto_install/solaris11-i386
68:B5:99:C1:E6:58 i386 /export/auto_install/solaris11-i386
At least on X86 it's necessary to adjust GRUB default boot image:
# ll /etc/netboot/
total 10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root ... 0168B599C1E658
-> ./solaris11-i386/boot/grub/pxegrub
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root ... default-i386
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root ... menu.lst.0168B599C1E658
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root ... solaris11-i386
# grep default /etc/netboot/menu.lst.0168B599C1E658
default=1
