Well, this sucks pond water. Tried responding and it doesn't show.
Anyway...
Thanks for the offer of the CD's. We found some Solaris 10 CD (3/05) and was able to do a fresh install on the machine. We tried doing an upgrade, but there is only 256MB of RAM and 20GB of HDD was unsuccessful. We were then sent a DVD ISO for U8 and now trying to upgrade that machine.
While researching the ARP/RARP error message we came across several solutions to resolve the problem. Once checking the files that are called out, the information they contain appears correct.
One item that was mentioned was the architecture when executing the
add_install_client. We used the sun4u as the platform group since the client is a SPARC system. Should we have used the x86 architecture since the server is x86?
