Hi,
Below is the entry in our dhcpd.conf file. It worked for below entries.
*host blr-v445-0 {
hardware ethernet 0:14:4F:0F:58:F4;
fixed-address 10.12.176.73;
next-server 10.12.176.49;
option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,6,12,15,17;
filename "http://10.12.176.49:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi";;
option root-path
"http://10.12.176.49:5555/export/aiserver/osol-0906-ai-sparc";;
}*
Earlier we did not have the ' option dhcp-parameter-request-list
1,3,6,12,15,17;' in the dhcpd.conf, then the image download had
failed.The image was downloaded only after we added ' option
dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,6,12,15,17;'.
And also it booted from memory, what is the option to install it on the
hard drive directly?
Do we need to change the AI manifest by providing the disk name where it
is supposed to be installed or
is there any other command to do the same?
Regards,
Avinash K
