Solaris

Hi all

having a problem getting the redhat image to actually start loding and i receive a TFTP:Access Denied error after the redhat diskless machine grabs an IP from the solaris server which has a small scope set up on it.

Here is what I did: used 2 redhat machines and rsync'd a to a directory on one of them to get a good image. Then i tar'd that image up and dumped it to the export/diskless/rh directory on my solaris machine. Made the appropriate changes in the dfstab to share that directory out. Also, pointed the kernel appropriately in /tftpboot and went ahead and made the /etc/ethers entry even though i shouldnt need it. Tried with and without ethers file with the same result.

To me, it seems like it grabs the IP, but wont do the bootparams and then load the OS like on a solaris diskless installation.

I know, the simple answer is just use a redhat server or make the diskless x86 clients solaris...but thats not feasible to management. Anyone know if there is a setting in svccfg for tftp to allow this?

thanks for the help in advance

tftp is functioning, as i can tftp files from the tftpboot directory to another machine. All permissions are a least 755 on the files in /tftpboot

im not really sure what the problem is

figured out the problem. dhcpmgr's boot file was pointed to /tftpboot/bootfile whereas i should have pointed it at the root directory. I figured this out because no matter what file i threw at it i would get the same result. So we created a tftpboot inside the tftpboot and sure enough it boots now.
