Greetings,
I have a jumpstart server running solaris 8. I have configured
jumpstart and if I use name_service=NONE in my sysidcfg I can install
solaris unattended, but if I use name_service=DNS no matter what I do
the install dumps to an interactive install.
I have searched the archives and found at least one person that required
a Finish script so I created one that just echo's text, updated the
rules file, ran check, restarted install - no go. I also found in the
archives a mention of the client's defined DNS server having to resolve
itself, so I verified DNS is working for my client hostname, testbox,
with each of the nameservers defined in my sysidcfg.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug this? I am not seeing
any errors being displayed to the console.
My configuration is described below (I have pulled some details from the
below output and replaced with 'x'. My config does not have the x's in
it :):
Jumpstart server name - jumpstart
Jumpstart client name - testbox
/etc/ethers: 8:0:20:c1:b9:f4 testbox
/etc/hosts : 199.x.x.185 testbox
/jumpstart/rules:
hostname testbox - Profiles/basic.profile Finish/test_finish.sh
/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_8/sysidcfg:
system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Eastern
network_interface=primary {netmask=255.255.255.0 default_route=199.x.x.1
protocol_ipv6=no}
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
root_password=REMOVED - shadow pw
timeserver=localhost
name_service=DNS {domain_name=a.b.earthlink.net
name_server=207.x.x.185,207.x.x.186,207.x.x.187
search=a.b.earthlink.net,c.b.earthlink.net}
/jumpstart/Finish/test_finish.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "Testing Finish Scripts"
add_install_client output:
bash-2.03# pwd
/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2003-07/Solaris_8/Tools
bash-2.03# ./add_install_client -c jumpstart:/jumpstart -p
jumpstart:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_8 testbox sun4u
cleaning up preexisting install client "testbox"
removing testbox from bootparams
removing /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_8-1
removing /tftpboot
disabling tftp in /etc/inetd.conf
making /tftpboot
enabling tftp in /etc/inetd.conf
updating /etc/bootparams
copying inetboot to /tftpboot
bash-2.03#
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
