RE: Jumpstart Problems

Thanks for the responses. I'm making some progress here but still having
problems.

Modifying the -p option and renaming the satrain01cfg file to sysidfcg allowed
the client to find the file. The problem now appears to be the rule, or the
rules location.

Here's the very simple rule that I'm using:

# pwd
/jumpstart
# cat rules
hostname satrain01 - Profiles/basic.profile -
any - - Profiles/basic.profile -
# ./check
Validating rules...
Validating profile Profiles/basic.profile...
The custom JumpStart configuration is ok.
# ls -al
total 110
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 512 Feb 26 08:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 1024 Feb 25 14:33 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 root other 512 Feb 25 14:42 OS
drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 Feb 25 15:38 Profiles
drwxr-xr-x 3 root other 512 Feb 25 14:49 Sysidcfg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 39982 Feb 25 15:33 check
drwx------ 2 root root 8192 Feb 25 14:33 lost+found
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 79 Feb 26 08:51 rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 105 Feb 26 09:28 rules.ok
#

Here's how I'm adding the client:

# ./add_install_client -c 10.132.1.90:/jumpstart -p
10.132.1.90:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_8 satrain01 sun4u

Any ideas on the problem here. Are the any required directory naming
conventions that I should be following?

Thanks,
Ricardo DeMatos

1) No message about using a sysidcfg file, and
2) the languange choice is in sysidcfg, so your problem likely is there.

There's at least part of the problem. You cannot rename sysidcfg files.
If you want to maintain multiples, you have to put each in a separate
directory.

The argument following -p is a directory, not a full path. The system
will look for a file in that directory named 'sysidcfg'.

Make those changes and try it again.
