Title: JumpStart Technology: Effective Use in the Solaris Operating Environment (With CD-ROM) by John S. Howard, Alex Noordergraaf ISBN: 0-13-062154-4 Publisher: Prentice Hall Pub. Date: October, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $42.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 1
Summary: Less Than Average
Comment: While documentation about JumpStart is extremely limited, this book just doesn't cut it. It is a conglomeration of documents that are available from Sun for free. Only, there is more documentation from Sun available than is accumulated in this book.
There is supposed to be a new edition out in a few months that's supposed to have much more information in. Save your money for this edition and download the documentation from Sun - check the next edition, maybe it'll be better.
Rating: 2
Summary: Good coverage, but missing a few...pages
Comment: Seriously, check your book. Mine is missing pages 7-30, but in an attempt to counter this flaw, I did get 2 sets of pages 1-6. Or is there someone else out there missing pages 1-6 and has 2 sets of pages 7-30.
But overall, the book is good. I used some white papers from Sun's site and this book to get Jumpstart working.
Rating: 4
Summary: A great users manual for the JumpStart technology.
Comment: Summary
A solid reference of implementation details and simple real
world scenarios of the JumpStart technology from Sun.
However, enterprise class design issues such as high availability, scaling and resource requirements are not covered in detail.
Details
This book provides thorough coverage of the JumpStart boot process and installing and configuring a JumpStart server.
Boot process details examined include supported boot protocols ( NFS, DHCP, NIS+, NIS ), the systems used during a JumpStart boot, and an illustrated guide of the boot sequence.
In depth explanations of configuration options will help advanced administrators make the most of their JumpStart deployment. Rules file, profiles file and sysidcfg files are reviewed. Begin and finish scripts are covered.
Post installation customizations are demonstrated with examples in it's own chapter.
Other issues such as system recovery, web flash, security and cloning are briefly covered.
Advice on JumpStart deployment issues such as bandwidth, scaling or high availability are not included in the scope of this book.
It was extremely interesting to learn the process on building a bootable JumpStart CD.
Personally, I thought this book provided value because it is a great single point of reference for a lot of expert advice on installing and configuring the Jumpstart technology. This book is well organized to help administrators setup and configure a JumpStart server.
