I'd like to help out where possible. There are definitely use cases that the
sysadmin community could help out with. There has been a lot of discussion
lately about installation, configuration, and management of opensolaris. In the
LDoms community, we could also get involved.

Currently the storage is attached to the Windows server and I need to place
files there to be backed up to tape. I am trying to get the Windows admin to
add an ssh server so I could just scp the files via script.
The CIFS on Solaris looks like a future item to solve storage both directions.

Count on me for OpenSolaris Desktop and Development Tools.
OpenSolaris is basically development platform and I think
these two areas are of high importance for developers.

Hi Jim.
I'm still very much interested in participating in this effort.
Thanks and take care.

Great idea! +1 for Documentation community sponsorship.

Unfortunately this isn't possible at this time.
However, as a temporary measure (this won't be possible forever), you
could use SXCE until a text install powered SPARC version becomes
available. It's not what you want right now, but until Caiman is
finished on SPARC it may work for you. And before

Yup, I opened a bug on this exact issue.. 10543. It makes no sense to be unable
to do that with the "create-client" subcommand to installadm.

I will concur. The single most important issue to me with regards to
installing a system is that I be able to do it automatically and
remotely.
I have quite literally installed thousands of Solaris instances on
dozens of hardware platforms - less than a hundred have been

Totally agree Casper! The power of Jumpstart has enabled customers to deploy
servers from scratch with little to no manual configuration after doing a "boot
net -install". AI has to be as flexible and hopefully easier to configure by
learning from what customers do with Jumpstart (take a look at

These interfaces are connected to the switch through aggregated ports. If both

I still think however that by default Solaris and OpenSolaris should present
