ossadm error -- any ideas?

hi

I am having an issue with trying to create a diskless client using ossadm.

the platform is already verified when i run the ossadm osservice ls and the platform sparc.sun4u.Solaris_10 returns as it should.

However when i run the ossadm diskless add command I get an error. Here is the syntax I am using:

Code:
ossadm diskless add -p sparc.sun4u.Solaris_10 -h myserver -i 10.10.10.100 -e 0:4e:56:78:9a:ae \
-r /export/root/myserver -d /export/dump/myserver -D 128 -s /export/swap/myserver -S 128

the error i receive is: ossadm could not add/modify/remove entry for "myserver" in /export/root/myserver//etc/inet/hosts <-- why are their two slashes? That is not a typo.

I have also tried the same command and not specifying the root,swap, and dump directories with the same result.

My OS is as follows: Sol 10 update 9 with the latest patch for ossadm and wbem applied: 119313-42

anyone experienced this issue? Hardware platform is an M4000.

Thanks
