SUNWsmbau patches and diskless clients
Hello
i have set up a diskless client to boot off my server, however when i try to add the service using smosservice, i get the error that SUNWsmbau (Samba service) is on a revision past what is on the installation media.
What i did to get to this point:
clean install on V880 with Solaris 10 09/06
setup export directory with the same media that i used to install the server OS
apply Solaris 10 recommended patches from sun.com
tried running smosservice but since the patches were different than the media, i did a patchrm on all the patches that were in /var/sadm/patch.
tried running smosservice again, but still getting the same message about SUNWsmbau being different than what i am using to create the diskless client with
pkgrm SUNWsmbau SUNWsmbar SUNWsmbac since i wont be using samba as such on this server.
tried running smosservice again, same error.
showrev -p, nothing anywhere about smb
any ideas? is there a missing patch? What would be the best way to fix something like this?
Thanks for whatever help you all may be able to provide
Joe
