How to configure an X86 Solaris 10 laptop as Jumpstarter for SPARC T1000?

I believe that I have taken due diligence WRT using search and Google to research the topic. There is a little voice that says "hopefully you haven't and the answer is right there in front of you".
That being said, I did find an article for [configuring an X86 box to jumpstart another X86 box|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/jumpstart_x86_x64.jsp]. As many of you well know the T1000 is lacking a keyboard and monitor port so I'm forced to jumpstart the server. I received conflicting information whether I can jumpstart a T1000 (SPARC) box with an X86. My intuition says that this can be done, but may need modifications to the process in the hyperlink.
Before trekking forward, {color:#0000ff}+I'd like to hear from you if you have jumpstarted a SPARC box with an X86 box.+{color} Ideally there would be a [link to a wiki, (much like this broken link I found on Google).|http://www.ignorantinc.com/www/ignorantwiki/index.php/Solaris_Wiki:Procedures/jumpstart] *+{color:#0000ff}Any procedures or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated{color}+*. Thank you for taking the time to this posting.

There should not be a reason it doesn't work the support is there for both sparc and x86 support.
What steps have you taken and what part is not working ?
The basic high level steps for a network boot are just
to create the image
cd /os_image/Solaris_xx/Tools
./setup_install_server /somepath
set the client up
cd /somepath/Solaris_xx/Tools
./add_install_client client sun4v
on the client
ok  boot netAnyway just need some more details around where you are seeing the problem, what you have done etc.

    When in the agent home page select 'Add Database'and press [Go]

    I would appreciate your help on how to configure a gmail in a way  it  ask  for the password  everytime I connect?. In the only way I can configure it  I have to include the pw when configuring the account  and  after that  it do not ask for pw  so  everyone that shares my iPad can  oppen my mail  with  no pw  required.
    Thank

    The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.

  • How to configure oracle 8.1.6, 8.1.7 for recognizing float data type by  ODBC

    I know oracle recognizes float data type into the tables, and exists a parameter in the initialization parameters named NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTER that permits to us change the presentation format. I did it, and into the server pc now it shows me '.' as a decimal point and ',' as a group separator. So, how can i do for the clients recognize the same float data type format. Which file i have to modify, or always i have to execute the instruction: alter session set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ".," in every client machine?
    thanks
    aldemar

    According to the National Language Support Guide, available from <http://tahiti.oracle.com>, you should be able to change the value of NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS in the init.ora file for the database and have that carry across to all sessions.
