Extract an Installable Image from the Media

Extract an installable image from the Solaris media.

To extract an installable image from the media

1. Insert the Solaris 8 Software 1 CD into the CD-ROM drive, mount the CD if it is not automatically mounted, and enter these lines in the Command Prompt window:

   cd /cd_drive/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_8/Tools
   

   ./add_to_install_server /image_parent/sol8
   

   The files are extracted from software CD 1.

2. Insert the Solaris 8 Software 2 CD into the CD-ROM drive, mount the CD if it is not automatically mounted, and enter these lines in the Command Prompt window:

   cd /cd_drive/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_8/Tools
   

   ./add_to_install_server /image_parent/sol_8
   

   The files are extracted from software CD 2. After the image is created, the packages must be added to the image so the JumpStart client can be integrated with CA Server Automation.
