I am trying to network install OpenSolaris CE build 95 on a Netra box. Our DHCP server is a Linux box and the install server is an older OpenSolaris system on a Sunblade. I?ve followed the instructions to create the install server and the jumpstart area. However, when I boot the target box I see the following:
ok boot net:dhcp - install Boot device: /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/network at c,1:dhcp File and args: - install Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ... Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ... Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ... TFTP Error: File not found Boot load failed ok The DHCP request from the Netra contains the following: DHCP: Message type = DHCPDISCOVER DHCP: Client Class Identifier = "SUNW.UltraAX-i2" DHCP: Requested Options: DHCP: 1 (Subnet Mask) DHCP: 3 (Router) DHCP: 12 (Client Hostname) DHCP: 43 (Vendor Specific Options) DHCP: Maximum DHCP Message Size = 1472 bytes Despite the timeout messages shown above we area able to get the IP address assigned and the next server information passed to the box. The Netra then issues a TFTP request with the following: TFTP: ----- Trivial File Transfer Protocol ----- TFTP: TFTP: Opcode = 1 (read request) TFTP: File name = "SUNW.UltraAX-i2" TFTP: Transfer mode = octet However, nothing add_network_client does puts a file by that name in there nor can you specify this name as a platform group that goes by this name. I've obviously stuffed up somewhere but I'm not sure where so am after some advice. Neale This message posted from opensolaris.org
