xen discuss - Mar 2006 - [xen-discuss] Setting up solaris diskless root server and client for the opensolaris domU

Hi,

Has anyone tried to follow the URL below to setup the Solaris diskless 
root server for OpenSolaris DomU and succeeded?

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/howto/create-osox-domu/

I found it''s very difficult to follow the instructions probably because
I''ve never dealt with diskless setup. I mounted the dvd iso image and 
ran smosservice command successfully. But I failed to add client by 
running smdiskless command because it complained that no services being 
installed. BTW, it should be "--" instead of  "-" after add
-u root for
both smdiskless and smosservice. the instructions only listed one "-".

Then I tried to skip it to bfu by running

|/opt/onbld/bin/bfu -c <osox-archive-dir> /export/exec/Solaris_11_i386.all

and it complained no clients to update. Is the smdiskless supposed to create 
the directory /export/exec/Solaris_11i386.all?

These questions are not really xen related but I just have a hard time to 
follow. I would really appreciate more detailed explanations.

Thanks,
Wei
