Hi there
I am at my wits end :-( After switching to the ISC DHCP server I have
managed to get my SPARC boxes jumping from DHCP perfectly, however now I cant
get x86 working. Is anybody prepared to share their "add_install_client"
command that they use and also the macros in their ISC DHCP config file so I
can compare??.....there seems to be a lot of cross over which is confusing the
hell out of me.... whatever I do, I get this error
"Bad or missing PXE menu and/or prompt information"
It seems to pick up the DHCP ok, but then either my DHCP macros or my
menu.lst.01xxxxxxx file (or both) are causing a problem. My
menu.lst.010100144F45XXXX file looks like this........[the IP's have been
fabricated for obvious reasons]
default=0
timeout=30
title Solaris_10 Jumpstart
kernel /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/multiboot kernel/unix - install dhcp -B
console=ttya,install_config=11.32.0.200:/data/jumpstart/,
sysid_config=11.32.0.200:/data/jumpstart/,install_media=11.32.0.200:/data/jum
pstart/tools/s10_x86/,install_boot=11.32.0.200:/data/jumpstart/tools/s10_x86/
boot
module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot
Now this works fine if I switch back to Suns own DHCP server, which leads me
to believe that there is something wrong or causing a conflict in my
dhcpd.conf file ...... the section of note is below.......
# Solaris 10 x86 hosts go here
group {
next-server 11.32.0.200;
use-host-decl-names on;
vendor-option-space SUNW;
option SUNW.JumpStart-server "11.32.0.200:/data/jumpstart";
option SUNW.install-server-hostname "my-jumpbox";
option SUNW.install-server-ip-address 11.32.0.200;
option SUNW.install-path "/data/jumpstart";
option SUNW.root-server-hostname " my-jumpbox ";
option SUNW.root-server-ip-address 11.32.0.200;
option SUNW.root-path-name
"/data/jumpstart/tools/s10_x86/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot";
option SUNW.sysid-config-file-server =
"11.32.0.200:/data/jumpstart/sysidcfg/solaris_10";
host client1 { hardware ethernet 00:14:4f:45:xx:xx; filename
"0100144F45XXXX"; fixed-address 11.32.0.212; }
}
Is there something im doing wrong here? Like I say there seems to be a lot of
conflict between grub settings and DHCP settings ....ie setting the sysidcfg
location twice etc...Would anybody be able to show me what their config files
look like and also their grub menus ???
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this
Cheers
Gary
