THanks for listening to my story.
I am running solaris 8 mu7 (sparc). In this scenario the
jumpstart client is an ac200. I used to apply additional pkgs/patches to
the jumpstart client via init scripts now I have the additional
patches/pkgs applied directly out of the post_install script. I have one
problem where the ssh pkg we have built depends on /dev/random and the
/dev/random patch (112438-02) has been applied but the machine has not yet
rebooted since this is all taking place during the initial boot install.
So I tested applying patch 112438-02 to a fresh install of Solaris
8 (mu7) and without rebooting I was able to create /dev/random and then
apply the open ssh pkg without any problems.
Steps I used to create /dev/random without rebooting:
perl -i -ne 'print unless /^random/' /etc/name_to_major
add_drv -m '* 0644 root sys' random
So I added the following lines to my post_install script after
patch 112438-02 and before the ssh pkg gets applied:
perl -i -ne 'print unless /^random/' /a/etc/name_to_major
add_drv -f -b /a -m '* 0644 root sys' random
I captured the exit code of the 2 previous commands and both exit
with a 0 during the post_install. However it appears that the devices
and links are not actually getting built and so the ssh pkg install fails.
I can easily work around this by adding ssh pkg via an init script but I
am really curious why I am not able to get this to work from the
post_install script when it works without rebooting on a box that is not
in the process of being jumpstarted.
Once again thanks for listening and I appreciate any insight.
TIA. Derek.
