Sun V240 and V210 simply seem to reset spontaneously during jumpstart
according to my logfile.
A friend of mine told me, that he made in the past similar experience
with other SUN hardware platforms. JS server runs, but not with some
kind of machine, i.e. SS5.
In my case the JS server runs fine with a sun clone (e450 clone),
a netra, and a 220R, only BIG difference is, that I used Solaris 8 7/02
for the old hardware platforms.
With the new machines V210 and V240 I needed Solaris 8 12/02 because
of the needed hardware support.
Maybe there is a bug in Solaris 12/02 ?
Tomorrow I will have time to install the older machines with the
new Solaris, to test, if its simply a jumpstart bug in Solaris 8 12/02.
I'd like to hear your experiences, if you had similar results with
the new machines.
How my jumpstart scripts look like ? See here:
I have one master postinstall script:
/export/jumpstart/POSTINSTALL/postinstall_didata
Within this script I execute about 26 shell scripts
Roughly this form:
#! /bin/sh
# suck in global config
. $SI_CONFIG_DIR/config.sh
# suck in machine specific config
. $SI_CONFIG_DIR/SYSIDCFG/`hostname`/config.sh
/bin/sh $SI_CONFIG_DIR/POSTINSTALL/01-set_root_password
/bin/sh $SI_CONFIG_DIR/POSTINSTALL/02-create_toor_account
[...]
/bin/sh $SI_CONFIG_DIR/POSTINSTALL/27-foo_bar
/bin/sh $SI_CONFIG_DIR/POSTINSTALL/99-copy_reboot_stage1_to_jsclient
I started 3 jumpstart runs in parallel
e450 booting with Solaris 8 07/02
v210 booting with Solaris 8 12/02
v240 booting with Solaris 8 12/02
All machines use the same postinstall scripts.
e450 runs fine, no problems.
v210 resets after postinstall script 09
v240 resets after postinstall script 14
So it doesn't seem to be a script problem.
It more seems for me to be a "random" problem.
Additionally the same machine doesn't reset at the same
script like before ...
Hardware failure ???
But AFTER installation during normal runtime the machine is
stable ... strange ... isn't it ???
Thanks for any pointer !
