Hey folks, I try to establish opensolaris as standard OS for my 40+ thumper/thors and experience a couple of weirdnesses, maybe someone can enlighten me in some of the issues :) (?)
I use an opensolaris install server and try to manage the post-install issues through a custom pkg lying on a different install source which in general works fine, but as I mentioned there are some issues: After the first reboot the 'new' host comes up with hostname 'opensolaris' this is of cause no good option in a automatic installation environment. It would be nice to have the machine with it's hostname from dhcp after the first reboot. I tried some things, lik stopping nwam and starting 'physical:default' deleting '/etc/nodename' most of the times the host does not come back after reboot at all no login on console either :( So what are the steps to get a hostname via dhcp after reboot ? Also ennoying: booting the latest opensolaris kernel in single-user mode leads me to a root-bash-prompt which does not work, all I get is 'bash: /usr/bin/hostname: no such file or directory' there. Any tricks/hints someone ? This leads straight to the next problem, if there is a small logical 'cluster' for server installation like 'SUNWrecommended' how it is called ? I tried 'entire' and 'storage-server' but also the second has all the gnome/X packets which I don't need (at least not for testing). Also the storage-server cluster has some issues during installation at least with the nfs client pkg. (?) cheers & thanks for any hints christoph -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
