We have a T5240 and noticed we were having issues booting the system using our jumpstart server (it seems as though we don't have the correct drivers for the nxge NIC)
We thought we needed to update our jumpstart server image 9/10 Solaris SPARC image.
Now I'm still learning Jumpstart and I've spent all week with a co-worker on this item so I was helping someone could point us in the right direction.
We downloaded the ISO, mounted it then ran the setup_install_server (is the correct procedure to update the image?) <-- or are we missing something? We tried the following steps but received errors when trying to boot the client.
Code:
lofiadm -a /var/tmp/solaris_image /dev/lofi/1
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt
./setup_install_server /export/install/sparc_10
So far we still get errors
On Monday I will get the full details on our errors
but the error we receive when booting a client is along the lines of:
...can not open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Which then has an interactive prompt asking us for the location
(are there any daemons we need to reboot after changing the image? tftpd, bootparamd, nfsd?)
When we copy back our previous image our jumpstart works properly (but not with our T5240)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
This started out as a favour, but now that I can't figure this out
I've been obsessing over it the last week

Hello,
I did this perfectly fine with S10Update3. But with S10Update4 something is strange

Hello All,
Do I really need to add the install server name in the /etc/hosts file? Why do we need to add? If I don't add it is not working. Isn't it only arp/rarp works here? I thought it works in mac address level. thanks in advance. (3 Replies)
I was wondering if there was a Solaris JumpStart image small enough to fit on a floppy. The computer I want to JumpStart doesn't have a CD drive. If so, where could I download it? (6 Replies)

Hi Guys,
I am little bit confused about jumpstart on solaris 10.
Do you need the mac address for each system you intend to jumpstart? If you need the mac address, how will you get it? Say your server is in another location and you want to jumpstart it, how will you do it?
