We have a jumpstart server available to do flash-updates on other servers.
When a client does a "boot /net install" everything works fine and we have
a built and configured server. The problem is that when this is done every
other system on that network that filters rpcbind reports a failed rpc
connection. This sends our monitoring applications and the people watching
them into a tizzy. When I asked Sun about this problem, they said I just
have to live with it ... the /net part of the boot is a broadcast and
there is nothing I can do about it. I do not like the phrase "there is
nothing you can do about it". So, has anyone figured out a way to do a
jumpstart without doing an initial broadcast boot from the client
machine? If I could somehow tell the client to boot from a specific
IP, all would be good with the world.
