Configure Solaris DHCP Servers Using the dpmutil Utility

After you install the Solaris JumpStart server, run the dpmutil command-line utility to configure the Solaris Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers and enable provisioning on Solaris x86 computers. You must have a user name with administrator privileges to run dpmutil.

To add a DHCP server with the dpmutil command

1. Log in to the CA Server Automation server using your administrator user name and password.
2. Type the following command at a command prompt and press Enter:

   dpmutil -set --dhcp-u
   

   The utility prompts you for your CA Server Automation user name and password.

3. Type your user name and password and press Enter.

   The utility prompts for the name of the DHCP host server.

   Note: The DHCP server must be configured for SSH access to allow the CA Server Automation JumpStart adapter to communicate with it during JumpStart x86 provisioning requests.

4. Type the host name and press Enter.

   The utility prompts you for a user name and password for the DHCP server.

5. Type your user name and password and press Enter.

   The DHCP server is configured to allow CA Server Automation to provision x86 computers.
