rpc.bootparamd

rpc.bootparamd(1M)                                        System Administration Commands                                        rpc.bootparamd(1M)

NAME

       rpc.bootparamd, bootparamd - boot parameter server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.bootparamd is a server process that provides information from a bootparams database to diskless clients at boot time. See bootparams(4)

       The source for the bootparams database is determined by the nsswitch.conf(4) file (on the machine running the rpc.bootparamd process).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -d       Display debugging information.

FILES

       /etc/bootparams         boot parameter data base

       /etc/nsswitch.conf      configuration file for the name-service switch

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |       ATTRIBUTE TYPE        |      ATTRIBUTE VALUE        |

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

NOTES

       A  diskless  client  requires service from at least one rpc.bootparamd process running on a server that is on the same IP subnetwork as the
       diskless client.

       Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string comparisons;  some do not. If an incoming request  fails,  verify  that  the
       case of the  hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the hostname called  for, and attempt the request again.

       The rpc.bootparamd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/rpc/bootparams

       Administrative  actions  on  this  service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). The ser-
       vice's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
