Jumpstart -- Warning: Could not find matching rule in rules.ok
I just setup a new jumpstart server, and I'm having problems with rules.ok errors.

I'm coming up blank after many Google searches, forum searches, etc.....

This is the error I receive:



Code:

Here is output from the jumpstart server, which is at 192.168.1.173. There are no DNS or naming services in this environment.

This is the command I used to add the client: ./add_install_client -c 192.168.1.173:/security/jumpstart -p 192.168.1.173:/security/jumpstart client-host sun4v

I just thought I would share my solution to this problem with everyone just it helps someone else in the future. I just now finally figured it out on my own after a lot of troubleshooting.

I suspected an NFS problem at the beginning, but I booted the server I was trying to jumpstart, and successfully mounted the jumpstart NFS mount point to it. When I saw it could do it successfully I stopped looking at NFS as part of the problem.

However, the problem ultimately came down to whoever originally setup the server I installed jumpstart on didn't set the subnet mask correctly. The subnet mask is supposed to be 255.255.255.0, and that's what was on the original client server's Solaris install. However, the jumpstart server was at /8, 255.0.0.0. (I used 192.168 as a substitution for my work's real addresses.) A regular NFS mount to it works from any client, but jumpstart certainly didn't like it. For jumpstarting this client server I was able to change it to match, at 255.0.0.0 and it worked. I'll just have to switch it back to the correct subnet after the install, and later get approval to fix the subnet mask on the server I just setup jumpstart on.
