Full Discussion: custom jumpstart on x86 with DHCP/PXE goes into interactive mode
Operating Systems Solaris custom jumpstart on x86 with DHCP/PXE goes into interactive mode Post 302446699 by TomSu on Thursday 19th of August 2010 10:51:14 AM
Old 08-19-2010
problem was easier then I thought, so sorry for bothering you.
I simply have by mistake wrote in ./add_install_clinet ....
Code:
-p 192.168.0.103:/export/jumpstart/config/sysidcfg

whereas it should be simply path to directory containing sysidcfg file.
Reading on the bigAdmin I learned that the sysidcfg file has always the same name, thus If I want to use different ones for different clients I have to use seperate directories.
So in my case I changed it to :
Code:
-p 192.168.0.103:/export/jumpstart/config/

Simple mistake, but on the other hand there was no clue about it at the installation screen, there was only :
Code:
Using local console
Beginning system identification ...
Searching for configuration file(s) ...
Search complete.

so it doesn't look like a problem, while it actually was.
I got that idea after I exit the interactive install at client to shell and checked with mount -p that everything is ok and accessible.
Once more sorry for bothering.
