Hi all. I've RTFMed this one (Google, Google
Groups, Sunsolve, etc) and I've seen people report similar problems but
not report an answer that has worked for me.
Note: throughout this post I've disguised IPs, MAC addresses, etc.
I'm building a Custom jumpstart server to rebuild development boxes for
the developers here (save me time in the long run :).
I setup an install server:
First CD:
% setup_install_server /opt/jumpstart/install
2nd CD:
% add_install_server /opt/jumpstart/install
I'm booting the client with boot net - install.
I used the following command to setup the install client:
./add_install_client -i "192.168.1.100" -e x:x:xx:xx:xx:xx -s
donegal:/opt/jumpstart/install -c donegal:/opt/jumpstart/conf -p
donegal:/opt/jumpstart/conf kilkenny sun4u
The box boots to the point where you get the line that says:
Using sysid configuration file 192.168.1.50:/opt/jumpstart/conf/sysidcfg
The install then drops into an interactive mode to get dns & subnet
information. The interesting thing is the defaults in the interactive
configuration come from the sysidcfg file so I know it is readnig it :)
Even more interesting is the entries in the dns search path are truncated
as they are quite lone.
Here is my sysidcfg file:
system_locale=en_AU
timezone=Australia/Queensland
terminal=vt100
network_interface=primary {dhcp
protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=none
root_password=xxxxxxxxxxxx
name_service=DNS {domain_name=very.long.domain.com.au
name_server=192.168.1.1
name_server=192.168.1.2
search=very.long.domain.com.au,short.domain.com.au}
timeserver=localhost
I've set timeserver to localhost & will resolve this when all else is
working. I've also tried the install with name_service=NONE (and none).
If I try this it still goes interactive (although asks less questions of
course).
I've also looked at patch 109318-28, which is known to fix a few
jumpstart problems but the system already had this from the last
recommended patch cluster I installed.
After I finish the short interactive part of the install the box installs
fine without further interaction (although I'm yet to put a finish script
in to personalise it for our developers :)
So, after RTFMing extensively this one has me baffled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll summarise back to the list.
Cheers,
-Rob
