boot net 1

[bluedragon2]

I have created CD images on a server in /export/home/cdsparc by using the folling:

# mkdir -p /export/home/cdsparc
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Tools
# ./setup_install_server /export/home/cdsparc

and for the rest of the disks:

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_11/Tools
# ./add_to_install_server /export/home/cdsparc

Now, am I ready to perform boot net on the server I want to install Solaris on?

The reason I am asking is because when I do a boot net, I get:

Requesting Internet Address for [mac address]

it sounds like rarp,
It is been a while, unforntunately we do not have a jumpstart server here at my current employer, but will be creating one soon. going by memory from previous employer

Can you put the ip address in the hosts file.

Is there an /etc/ethers entry?

vi /etc/ethers

8:0:20:33:00:00 servername


and /etc/bootparams

and finally, be sure your nsswitch.conf is set correctly


Sorry trying to just go by memory here.

Thanks,

upon review, I had a typo in the ethers file.


Thanks
