WAN boot Server issues.
I 'm trying to configure a WAN boot server on Solaris10 x86 for sparc clients ..

when i try to set up the server m getting following error

Code:
 ./setup_install_server -w /var/apache2/htdocs/wanboot10/wpath /var/apache2/htdocs/wanboot10/ipath
ERROR: Cannot make WAN boot Image file on this platform
       You must create WAN boot Image file on one of these
       platforms: sun4u

What could be the reason for this ? and how could i resolve this.

Code:
{0} ok  setenv network-boot-arguments host-ip= 10.63.25.208 ,router-ip= 10.63.24.1 ,subnet-mask= 255.255.252.0 hostname=essapl020-u012 ,filename=http://10.63.25.180/cgi-bin/wanbnetwork-boot-arguments =  host-ip= 10.63.25.208 ,router-ip= 10.63.24.1 ,subnet-mask= 255.255.252.0 hostname=essapl020-u012 ,filename=http://10.63.25.180/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi

There should be no space after the equals (=) signs. For example, change
Code:
host-ip= 10.63.25.208

to
Code:
host-ip=10.63.25.208

Code:
{0} ok setenv network-boot-arguments host-ip=10.63.25.208, router-ip=10.63.24.1, subnet-mask=255.255.252.0, hostname=xxxx-u012 file=http://10.63.25.180/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi
network-boot-arguments =  host-ip=10.63.25.208, router-ip=10.63.24.1, subnet-mask=255.255.252.0, hostname=xxx-u012 file=http://10.63.25.180/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi
{0} ok boot net - install
