Hi All,

I am working on an envionment where customer is requesting to keep NBU master + BMR Master + BMR Boot server all on one solaris server. While theoritically this is possible and hardware is also good enough to take the load, i'd like to know is it ok to have boot server with NBU master or should it be seperate hardware ?

 

Thank you in advance.

Perfectly fine to use Solaris master as boot server for Solaris clients.
The only reason for using another server or client as boot server would be if there are clients on higher OS as master (e.g. Solaris 11 clients with Solaris 10 master) or if clients are connected to another subnet.
You will also need space to create SRTs.
