identify 32 or 64 bit machine in Windows

if we have 2 folders
- program files(x86) &
- program files
 then it is a 64 bit machine!


if only program files folder, then it is 32 bit machine!

in 64 bit machine program files folder installs 32 bit applications

descriptions of ./add_install_client options
-d = specify dhcp client on a x86 machine

-e = specify the ethernet add' of the system to be installed

-s server_name:path = Specify the name of the server and the absolute path of the Solaris installation image that is used for this installation.

-c server_name:path = this option is required only to specify a JumpStart directory for a custom JumpStart installation.

-p server_name: path = this option is used to specify the NFS or ZFS shared directory that contains the user-defined sysidcfg file.

Boot the clients and remember to set the boot priority of the clients to Ethernet

I couldn't succeed with the complete installation...
was getting errors, few of them are
- no driver binding
- no driver attached


after exiting shell. . .
- i got jumpstart directiry not found
- rules.ok could not be matched


i wish u guys find this documentation helpful and u turn out successful...u can also follow this link and understand the aspects in a broader perspective

To set the Hostname in SOLARIS x86

you should have all these files or else create it.
/etc/nodename
/etc/hostname.<interface>  e.g /etc/client.gani0  gani0 is the network interface
/etc/inet/hosts
/etc/inet/ipnodes

#vi /etc/nodename
client

#/etc/hostname.<interface>
client

bash-3.00# vi /etc/inet/hosts
"/etc/inet/hosts" [Read only] 6 lines, 111 characters
#
# Internet host table
#
127.0.0.1       localhost       loghost
::1     localhost       loghost
192.168.1.13    client# Added by DHCP   add "client" as host name


check in /etc/inet/ipnodes it will be changed and hostname will be client
