Solaris 10 Jumpstart Problem
Hi,

I build a jumpstart server with a running dhcp server. I already managed to install a x86 client via network. But my sparc clients aren't still working.
When booting via network I get the following message:

Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet

I ran "snoop" on the server:

client2 -> BROADCAST TFTP Read:"0A6606BB" (octet)
server -> client2 TFTP Error: access violation
client2 -> BROADCAST TFTP Read:"0A6606BB" (octet)
server -> client2 TFTP Error: access violation
client2 -> BROADCAST TFTP Read:"0A6606BB" (octet)
server -> client2 TFTP Error: access violation
client2 -> BROADCAST TFTP Read:"0A6606BB" (octet)
server -> client2 TFTP Error: access violation
....

I don't know about this tftp error, I got it during my x86 installation too, but the installation worked fine.
But I'm wondering why the client is sending a broadcast for so many times?? Seems like it's not getting an IP from the dhcp server`???

When I boot the client from it's own hdd, he's getting the IP from the dhcp server....

Hope you can help me, thank you very much in advance



Solved: did it without the dhcp server

The machine is actually picking up an IP from your DHCP server (10.102.6.187).
Have you added the install media for sparc to the jumpstart server as well as the media for x86? If so make sure the media path listed in /etc/bootparams are shared.
