Creating the diskless_nodeprof.conf file enables
you to to install a different Solaris distribution in the diskless node environment
of a cluster to the distribution you are installing on the master-eligible
nodes. To use the diskless_nodeprof.conf file you must
be installing a cluster with nhinstall.
When the diskless_nodeprof.conf file is present
in the local directory on the installation server, the file's contents supersede
the contents of both the nodeprof.conf file and the default
profile file that nhinstall uses for diskless node installation.
If the diskless_nodeprof.conf file exists, nhinstall uses the nodeprof.conf file for details
of the Solaris profile it is to install on the master-eligible nodes and the diskless_nodeprof.conf file for the Solaris profile it is to install
in the diskless node environment.
Note If you want to install the same Solaris profile on master-eligible
and diskless nodes, do not create a diskless_nodeprof.conf
file. The first reference to cluster in the diskless_nodeprof.conf file must refer to the cluster parameter to be given to the smosservice add
command. Any other directives given in this file will be ignored. For more
information about the smosservice command, see the smosservice(1m)
man page.
Note You cannot use nhinstall to install software
on dataless nodes.For information about the format and contents of the diskless_nodeprof.conf file, see the nodeprof.conf file and Preparing Custom JumpStart Installations (Tasks) in the Solaris Installation Guide.
