Jet/Jumpstart installation freezing
Hi guys, I have a problem with installing new Solaris servers via jet/jumpstart (tried both).

I`ve configured server, created profile for a client, issued

Code:
{1} boot net -v install
and went to get some cofee...

After I came back, client was able to load system from server, get IP and, stucked at

Code:
Attempting to configure interface bge0...
Configured interface bge0
/
and that`s it - no more life signals from it...

in snoop output on server for client i`m seening this:

Code:
  chiscadm03 -> chiscvaptest05 TCP D=518 S=2049 Fin Ack=3803501 Seq=1915110994 Len=0 Win=49232 Options=<nop,nop,tstamp 2001773014 91537>
  chiscadm03 -> chiscvaptest05 TCP D=518 S=2049 Fin Ack=3803501 Seq=1915110994 Len=0 Win=49232 Options=<nop,nop,tstamp 2001773054 91537>

Don`t know what`s this, but before this TFTP packets were running between them just fine - well miniroot was loaded afterall...

Any suggestions?..

Thanks!

The spinning batton is either the tftp download of the tftp boot file from /tftpboot (assuming default directory) or else if the JumpStart server is a reasonably up to date Solaris 10 then it is downloading the sparc.miniroot and expanding it into memory, it is big and can take quite a while to download and expand into memory. How much memory does your client have installed?
Don't know what TCP/IP port 518 denotes?

Thanks for reply. Client is V240 with 2gb of ram installed.

Issue is, that it just freezes after configuration of NIC.

Snooping for traffic revealed this

Code:
chiscvaptest05 -> 10.255.255.255 BPARAM C GETFILE root
  chiscadm03 -> chiscvaptest05 BPARAM R GETFILE File=/apps/jet/media/sol10u8_sparc/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
chiscvaptest05 -> (broadcast)  ARP C Who is 10.20.11.110, chiscvaptest05 ?
chiscvaptest05 -> (broadcast)  ARP C Who is 10.20.11.110, chiscvaptest05 ?
chiscvaptest05 -> (broadcast)  ARP C Who is 10.20.11.110, chiscvaptest05 ?
chiscvaptest05 -> 10.255.255.255 BPARAM C GETFILE install
  chiscadm03 -> chiscvaptest05 BPARAM R GETFILE File=/apps/jet/media/sol10u8_sparc
chiscvaptest05 -> (broadcast)  ARP C Who is 10.20.11.110, chiscvaptest05 ?
chiscvaptest05 -> (broadcast)  ARP C Who is 10.20.11.110, chiscvaptest05 ?
chiscvaptest05 -> chiscadm03   ARP R 10.20.11.110, chiscvaptest05 is 0:14:4f:75:9:6c
  chiscadm03 -> chiscvaptest05 TCP D=518 S=2049 Fin Ack=3712627 Seq=3551292206 Len=0 Win=49232 Options=<nop,nop,tstamp 2026324539 90515>

And this is the end, nothing else..packets keep appear in snoop output - but once in min or smth...

2GBytes of memory is ample.

What does the contents of rules file and the sysidcfg file being used on the JumpStart server look like?

Thank you all for replies.

Issue was in the fact, that I was in class A subnet (10.255.255.255) with class C subnet mask (10.11.20.255), and that drove jumpstart insane.

Issue was fixed by editing the install-solaris file, and forcefully binding 10.11.20.255 to NIC`s, after that everything became normal, as it should be.

Regards, Nik
