Install Solaris 10 through network
Hi all,
I got a Fujitsu P650 server running on Solaris 9 and we are going to re-install Solaris 10 . W have a build server in a different IP segment. So we setup a boot server and /etc/ethers and /etc/bootparams are all updated. When I issue
boot net -install,
I'm getting the following error
Executing last command: boot net -install
Boot device: /pci@87,4000/network@1,1 File and args: -install
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
29400
Requesting Ethernet address for: 10.171.15.239
panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
Program terminated
I don't understand why its taking the IP (10.171.15.239) which is not found in our DNS.
Can someone help
Thank
