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.

Answer / basunix

Jump start mainly depends on four services.
1.Boot service
2.Identify service
3.config service
4.Install service

Spool the OS software to /export/install directory
Create profiles and rules files under /export/config
Run check script to get rules.ok file
Then install OS

What are the two settings you can change to make a system boot faster?
