Miniroot download slow from WANBoot server
I recently configured a WANBoot server on a Ldom 2.0 running Solaris10u9 with ZFS root. When i start the installation form the client with

Code:
Ok Boot net - install ,

it takes at least 20-25 minutes just to download the miniroot on the client .. i read there was a bug on T servers firmware related to ldc (logical domain channel) but i 'm above that firmware at 7.2.10 (T5220 )

Is there anything wrong i 'm doing on the WANBoot server or it works like that way only ? Let me know in case more logs or o/p required for the same.


And i have noticed for every instance it reads only 4304Kb of data.

Code:

I don't remember the full answer but...

this is a bug, it is related to TCP/UDP and NFS.
change your NFS conf to use only TCP and not UDP.
