I need to setup a Solaris WANboot and a Solaris jumpstart server for both SPARC and x86 architectures. Can I setup both on a single machine (SPARC or x86) or do I need a separate SPARC and x86 machine to jumpstart a SPARC respectively a x86 client?
As far as I know the architecture of a WANboot server doesn't matter, as long as the correct Solaris flash archive is used.
Best regards
Both can be set up on a single machine. You'll need separate binary executables for each ISA, of course, and separate binary boot files for each supported architecture. The jumpstart/diskless boot server is basically acting as a network file store (albeit with some special, not filesystem protocols), so its architecture can be separate from the client.
The Custom Jumpstart Manual should have the information you need.
