Due the engineering environment I need to maintain, I need to be able to
jumpstart Solaris 10, Solaris 8, and Solaris 2.6 systems.
My Jumpstart server is a UE450, on which I was getting a bit tight on
disk space. I've recently resolve the problem, by replacing some of the
drives with higher capacity drives from a system that was recently
decommissioned. I used ufsdump/ufsrestore to copy the contents to the
new drives, and then swapped the new drives for the old, thus keeping
the original mountpoints.
Since the "upgrade" I have been able to Jumpstart Solaris 10 and Solaris
8 workstations, but today I attempted to jumpstart a Solaris 2.6
workstation, and have run into nothing but trouble.
After invoking 'boot net - install', it tftp's the kernel, mounts the
'Boot' directory, and then panics and reboots.
Many, many, many years ago, I remember there being a problem with moving
the jumpstart image ufsdump/ufsrestore.
Can anyone with a better memory than mine, recall the fix. (Short of me
hunting for the Solaris 2.6 installation disks, and re-installing from
scratch.)
