Could you please provide more information about how was the Sparc install service created and what is your DHCP server configuration ? # pntadm -P 192.168.128.0 # dhtadm -P > > I added a DHCP macro as specified on my AI server and dhtadm -P reports: > > dhcp_macro_0906sparc Macro > :Include=osol:BootSrvA=192.168.128.47:BootFile="http://192.168.128.47:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi": > > > > However, I'm not seeing any kind of TFTP Server or URL-looking options > in the DHCPACK: > > DHCP: ----- (Options) field options ----- > DHCP: > DHCP: Message type = DHCPACK > DHCP: DHCP Server Identifier = 192.168.128.47 > DHCP: UTC Time Offset = -18000 seconds > DHCP: RFC868 Time Servers at = 172.16.0.47 > DHCP: IP Address Lease Time = 86400 seconds > DHCP: DNS Domain Name = sun.com > DHCP: DNS Servers at = 172.16.0.1 > DHCP: Broadcast Address = 192.168.128.255 > DHCP: Perform Router Discovery Flag flag = 0x1 > DHCP: Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0 > > I'm using OBP 4.22.33, which is the latest available for my old V210, > is that capable of the WAN Boot protocol required?

In general, since you see 'network-boot-arguments' in the environment, OBP is wanboot capable and is supposed to work. However, it is always better to upgrade to the latest available version, since there are bugs being fixed in that area which were discovered due to AI using wanboot. > > Also, if I have a multi-homed AI server, and want it to serve on a > particular interface that's not the primary, do I need to do any > particular configuration? Multi-homed AI server is currently not supported, there are bugs filed to track this requirement: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6182 http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7149 Jan
