Hi,

Sorry for the late summary. I did not receive any response. However, I did
manage to get AutoClient to work. Following are the steps I took:

1. install admin station with SUNWXCall cluster (Entire + OEM).
2. make sure the patches in the Hardware 5/98 cdrom under dir
   Solaris_2.6/Patches are installed.
3. install AdminSuite/AutoClient 2.3/2.1 on the admin station.
4. install patch 104468-10.
5. add all the patches in Solaris_2.6/Patches into the patch spool using
   admclientpatch -a
6. under Adminsuite, specify the OS service for the admin server as
   Entire distribution + OEM.
7. specify the AutoClient and reboot with "boot net".
