Syntax: installadm create-service [-f bootfile] [-D DHCPserver] [-n svcname] [-i dhcp_ip_start] [-c count_of_ipaddr] [-s srcimage] targetdir

Publishes the OSInstall service. Only a source image and a target directory are required for basic setup.

Note - When you create the first service on a system, you also must provide a starting IP address and a total number of IP addresses to be made available for the clients. After you have provided this information, you do not need to include it when creating additional services on this system.

• -f bootfile – Uses this boot file for the service. If boot file does not exist, it is created. If this option is not specified, a boot file is created with a default name.

• -D DHCPserver – Updates the DHCP server at this IP address with the appropriate macro. Secure shell is used to contact a remote server. The user must provide authentication.

• -n svcname – Uses this service name instead of default service name. If a service of this name already exists, the user is warned, and a new service is created and named <svcname><n>.

• -i dhcp_ip_start – Sets up a new DHCP server. The IP addresses, starting from dhcp_ip_start, are set up.

• -c count_of_ipaddr – Sets up a total number of IP addresses in the DHCP table equal to the value of the count_of_ipaddr. The first IP address is the value of dhcp_ip_start that is provided by the -i option.
