Here's a little script I was working on back in the college lab last month. I was facing a very trivial solaris administration problem. I've installed SXDE 1/08 on 120 systems in one of our biggest computer labs long back (more on how I did that later). Now I needed a way to do certain tasks on each of those systems like changing the boot order, changing the solaris GRUB splash image, setting the hostname for each system based on its current IP address...,more.
This article presents step-by-step procedures for loading the Solaris 10 OS on x86 platforms, and one or two 64-bit Linux operating systems, on machines based on 64-bit AMD Opteron processors. Installations were done on generic Opteron-based workstations and confirmed on a Sun Fire V20z server and Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z workstations.
