Ben, Can you check if your svc:/network/dns/multicast service is running? If its not online, that would at least tell us why installadm failed to register the service as seen below.
install/server depends on dns/multicast, and I think theres code somewhere to bring it online -- that might be failing somewhere though. thanks, -ethan Ben Rockwood wrote: > I've been trying to get a simple AI environment going but had no success. > Each attempt to create a service goes like this: > > root at quadra ~$ installadm create-service -i 10.0.80.101 -c 25 -s > /ai/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai.iso /ai/servers/osol-0811-rc2 > Setting up the target image at /ai/servers/osol-0811-rc2 ... > Warning: Using default manifest </usr/share/auto_install/default.xml> > Registering the service _install_service_46503._OSInstall._tcp.local > The service _install_service_46503._OSInstall._tcp.local is not registered > Failed to register Install Service _install_service_46503. > The installadm SMF service (svc:/system/install/server:default) is being > taken offline. > The installadm SMF service (svc:/system/install/server:default) is no longer > online > because the last install service has been disabled or deleted. > > I've tried it on different subnets, with different arguments, etc, but with > no luck. > > I will note that this is a small private network and there are not DNS > records for the host (just local files) and I have not attempted to create my > own manifests yet (I want to see it work with the default and then I'll > experiment with my customizations). > > > Any help is appreciated.
