Install/Boot Server Daemons
Several network daemons are used by the install and boot servers to support
over-the-network installation. These are:
in.rarpd(1M)
—The Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) serv-
er provides Ethernet-address-to-IP-address resolution. Clients use these
to determine their IP addresses based on their Ethernet addresses.
➤
in.tftpd(1M)
—The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) daemon pro-
vides a method for SPARC install clients to obtain bootable images from
a server without logging into the server.
➤
nfsd(1M)
—The NFS daemon provides clients remote access to file sys-
tems over the network.
➤
rpc.bootparamd(1M)
—The Boot Parameter (BOOTP) server is used to
provide clients with boot information from the
/etc/bootparams
file.
