Hi folks.
I need to get Solaris 10 01/06 set up for jumpstarting.
We have the first Solaris 10 set up already, and it's working fine. But
seemingly doing the same thing with the 01/06 release is having
problems.
Specifically, when I try to jumpstart a box, I get the "searching for
jumpstart directory\nnot found\n" error described at
http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2005-January/006033.html , but it doesn't appear to be a netmask issue like that thread terminated with.
I think it's probably not a netmask issue, because the netmask of our
server is 255.255.255.0, and so is the netmask of the client. We've had
a persistent problem with jumpstarting machines from a subnet other than
the one the jumpstart server is on, and I've been working around that by
commenting out the line that tries to "fix" the netmask from 255.255.0.0
to 255.255.255.0 (this eliminates an NFS timeout), so I suspected that
might've been related, but I backed out my change so that the netmask
could be made 255.255.255.0 for this same-subnet-as-the-server test
host, and still had the same problem - "searching for jumpstart
directory" followed by "not found".
I can see the rules.ok file being looked up in a packet sniff.
I tried reducing our rules file the following (it's normally on the
large side), some for sun4u and some others for everything else, and
regenerated rules.ok, but that didn't help either:
karch sun4u && disksize rootdisk 200-1050 - configs/user+use_0 after
karch sun4u && disksize rootdisk 1051-1500 - configs/prog+use_0 after
karch sun4u - configs/all+use_0+bigvar after
disksize rootdisk 1100-9999 - configs/all+use_3 after
disksize rootdisk 511-1100 - configs/prog+use_3 after
disksize rootdisk 200-510 - configs/user+use_3 after
disksize rootdisk 0-200 - configs/dinky+use_3 after
Is there anything else I should be trying?
Thanks!
