Try this... ok setenv local-mac-address? false (you may need a reset-all here) ok boot vnet0 - install Alternatively, you can find the local mac address with: ok cd vnet0 ok .properties That works on all OBP-based platforms that I have tried, which includes a wide variety of systems released in the past 10 years. For LDoms, you can find it from the control domain with the information that you provided. > NETWORK > NAME SERVICE DEVICE MAC MODE PVID VID MTU > vnet0 primary-vsw0 at primary network at 0 00:14:4f:fb:8a:31 1 1500 The use of a local MAC address is essential if you have multiple NICs on the same subnet. Typically during jumpstart you only have one NIC active, so it tends not to matter. A mechanism that I used for years (before noticing cd net ; .properties) is to "setenv local-mac-address? false" before starting the jumpstart, then have a finish script that does "eeprom local-mac-address? true". -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/
