Yes. > But you need to create the symlink after installadm add/create-client ? > Yes, in case I want to use a static DHCP entry for my client, as stated in the subject. > Seems then this symlink is getting deleted somewhere. > No, because I'm not talking about the same link. When you create a service, it'll create a link pointing at the AI folder, so in my particular case the DHCP server needs to point at: http://$SERVER:5555/export/macroroot/snv_106_sparc Now what I'm talking about here is, that I want *another* link to be created when I add a client, something like: http://SSERVER:5555/export/macroroot/0:14:4f:e5:fb:50 So that way I can leave a static entry in the DHCP server and not need to change it everytime I want to change the client to use a different service (i.e. the same way we have /tftpboot/menu.lst.MACADDRESS in x86) David
