I'm trying to jump start a new Sun Server from an existing jump start server, but this last machine is giving me driver errors :s
It doesn't make sense as we've built a few of these exact same servers just recently, but this last one displays:
"No driver (or driver binding) was found for the interface used to boot.
A driver (or driver binding) may be available in an updated or patch from
Sun, or from the interface vendor."
Has anyone seen this error before? From the research I've done it suggests that I have to unpack the miniboot and add in the missing driver, but we have over a dozen of these X4-2's which have jump started just fine.
Hi,
I build a jumpstart server with a running dhcp server. I already managed to install a x86 client via network. But my sparc clients aren't still working.
When booting via network I get the following message:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
I ran "snoop" on the server:

I just built a jumpstart server on a Solaris 9 sun box and have had no problems jumpstarting other sol9 boxes using the custom rules. I've also copied a Solaris 10 image onto that same solaris 9 server and have had problems loading Solaris 10. These boxes will go directly to the manual OS install... (5 Replies)

Hi All
I have a Solaris 10 jumpstart boot/config server set up on a subnet, and am trying to use it to build a client (the only other machine on the network). Things start out just fine, with the client booting into the Solaris Installation program, but then it just coredumps just as it's... (4 Replies)

dr, drmach, ngdr, ngdrmach - Sun Enterprise 10000 dynamic reconfiguration driver
SYNOPSIS
dr
drmach
ngdr
ngdrmach
DESCRIPTION
The dynamic reconfiguration (DR) driver consists of a platform-independent driver and a platform-specific module. The DR driver uses stan-
dard features of the Solaris operating environment whenever possible to control DR operations and calls the platform specific module as
needed. The DR driver creates minor nodes in the file system that serve as attachment points for DR operations.
The DR driver provides a pseudo-driver interface to sequence attach and detach operations on system boards using file system entry points
referred to as "attachment points." The attachment point form depends on the platform.
Sun Enterprise 10000 Server
On the Sun Enterprise 10000 server, the DR driver consists of a platform-independent driver (ngdr) and a platform-specific module (ngdr-
mach).
The domain configuration server (DCS) accepts DR requests from the system services processor (SSP) and uses the libcfgadm(3LIB) interface
to initiate the DR operation. After the operation is performed, the results are returned to the SSP. For more information about the DCS on
the Sun Enterprise 10000, refer to the dcs(1M) man page and the Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide.
The DR driver creates physical attachment points for system board slots that takes the following form:
/devices/pseudo/ngdr@0:SBx
Where x represents the slot number (0 to 15) for a particular board.
The cfgadm_sbd(1M) plugin creates dynamic attachment points that refer to components on system boards, including CPUs, memory, or I/O
devices. Refer to the cfgadm_sbd(1M) man page for more details.
