In this articles I will provide the Solaris 10 Installation mode over HTTP named as WanBoot method for SPARC Systems.

This method is helpful for that systems where is not possible to use Install Server in the same Ethernet Network segment as client location and also not possible to place Boot Server too.

For Example: you have one or several new fresh servers which is located in DMZ Zone or isolated by Firewall and by Enterprise rules there not acceptable to open NFS,TFTP,SSH,RSH,Telnet,FTP services between Install Server and possible new systems, but Administrators agree to open one TCP port – HTTP or HTTPS. Here I will provide only HTTP installation way.

Another possible situation where you can use this method can be when new fresh system located on customer site with Internet access and you just have remote access to this system into ALOM over VPN or direct access though Internet. Therefore you can use your already prepared Installation WanBoot server for this systems.

Network configuration is ready, now we will install “Solaris JumpStart Installation Server”.

# mkdir -p /Install/Solaris10/

# mkdir /Install/jumpstart

# /cdrom/sol_10_1009_x86/Solaris_10/Tools/setup_install_server /Install/Solaris10/

Now is necessary to customize Solaris 10 install miniroot image to include in it HP Proliant BL460c G6 2 drivers:

After success install Solaris 10 x86 64bit we will begin configuring it and Installing "Solaris JumpStart Install Server" for x86pc architecture with DHCP net boot mode support.

This is our example configuration:

IP address of install server: 10.0.0.2

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

1) Lets correct /etc/hosts file

In this PART III I will provide information about Installation Solaris 10 x86 64bit in VMware Guest machine.

Dear friends,

I’m glad to inform you about success update of my web site.

Now all you can success log in from every browsers and leave comments to my posts.

Very soon I will post new technical experience post about installation Sun Solaris 10 x86 on the HP Blade Server “HP Proliant BL460c G6” from Install server based on VMware ESX Data Center VmSphere System.

Also next in my task – providing e-library of latest books related to technical themes in PDF ,CHM and DjView format: “Solaris, Blogging, System Administration, Programming … etc

BIND 9.6.1-P2 is a SECURITY PATCH for BIND 9.6.1. It addresses a
potential cache poisoning vulnerability, in which data in the additional
section of a response could be cached without proper DNSSEC validation

I just done recompiling DNS server BIND 9.6.1-P2 security updated version for Sun Solaris 10 x64 bit sparc edition binary. It’s fully tested and runned on the Sun Fire T2000 with 16 core SUNW,UltraSPARC-T1 1000MHz. This binary compiled with Sun Studio 12 C compiler and therefore not necessary to use or install addition GnuCC C libraries in to the system. Also for copyright my works I signed all binaries with my contact details.

You can download it from this address:
