Deployment planning 17
Implementing an RDP-initiated deployment
RDP-initiated deployments require the following components:
• Install server
• JumpStart server
• Modified miniroot
• RDP deployment server
Use the following procedure outline as a basis for implementing RDP-initiated deployments in the target
environment:
1. Prepare the install server as described in “Install server preparation.”
2. Prepare the miniroot as described in “Miniroot preparation.”
3. Prepare the JumpStart server as described in “JumpStart preparation.”
4. Prepare the RDP deployment server as described in “RDP server preparation.”
5. To deploy Solaris using Rapid Deployment Pack, drag-and-drop the Solaris deployment job onto the
target client.
Implementing a custom ISO boot-based deployment
Custom ISO boot-based deployments require the following components:
• Install server
• JumpStart server
• Modified miniroot
• Custom ISO image
Use the following procedure outline as a basis for implementing custom ISO boot based deployments in
the target environment:
1. Prepare the install server as described in “Install server preparation.”
2. Prepare the miniroot as described in “Miniroot preparation.”
3. Prepare the JumpStart server as described in “JumpStart preparation.”
4. Prepare the GRUB menu as described in “GRUB preparation.”
5. Prepare the custom ISO image as described in “Custom bootable ISO image creation.”
6. To deploy Solaris using a custom ISO, boot the client from the ISO through either physical media or
iLO virtual media.
