### Initial Installation

After the managed host is added, you must create custom JumpStart data prior to performing the initial installation. The custom JumpStart data is based on the host properties for each specified managed host.

For initial installation, the Change Manager server acts as an installation server to deploy a Solaris Flash archive to managed hosts. The Solaris boot image and the custom JumpStart data are used to install the Solaris Flash archive on the managed host.

An initial installation must be initiated directly on the managed host by typing the following command at the OpenBootTM prompt:

    ok> boot net - install

This `boot` command cannot be initiated by Change Manager because the Sun Management Center agent and the Change Manager agent module are not yet available on the managed host.

The first time you use Change Manager to install a Solaris Flash archive on a managed host, you must use the initial installation operation. The Solaris Flash archive must include the Sun Management Center agent and the Change Manager agent module, which enable the managed host and the Change Manager server to communicate.
