Hi,
I have set up a Solaris 9 Jumpstart server running on Solaris 9 that I have
used once before a couple of months back (for host fw). This machine does
nothing else (it is my workstation that I don't really use) so I am certain
that nothing has been modified.
I tried to add another jumpstart client by typing "add_install_client -d
elearn sun4u". The machine is a SunFire V120 so I am sure sun4u is right. I
have added a dhcp entry to my dhcp server and restart that. I have added
entries to both the NIS maps file and /etc files on the jumpstart server
containing the following entries:
ethers:
0:3:ba:35:c8:96 fw.domain.com
0:3:ba:35:c0:8c elearn.domain.com
hosts:
xx.xx.28.10 fw fw.domain.com
xx.xx.28.11 elearn elearn.domain.com
bootparams:
fw.domain.com root=pride:/bootsvr/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot
install=pride:/bootsvr boottype=:in rootopts=:rsize=32768
elearn.domain.com root=pride:/bootsvr/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot
install=pride:/bootsvr boottype=:in rootopts=:rsize=32768
I have tried removing the nis entries and working off local files only and
tried removing the local entries and working off nis. My nsswitch.conf has
"nis files" for all of these three files.
When I type "boot net - install" on "elearn" it says "Timeout waiting for
ARP/RARP packet" twice and then does nothing.
I have checked that both tftpd and rarpd are running on the jumpstart server
root 29496 1 0 10:39:05 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -a
root 29243 154 0 10:24:20 ? 0:00 in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
I have tried stopping and starting nfs.server script (which includes rarpd
and tftpd) many times.
I saw a post to this list a while back about this issue but didn't see a
conclusion or followup.
I will summarise to the list.
Thanks,
Kelly.
