issue with jumpstart

[sep22ph]

Hello All,

I configured a jumpstart server ( the server is in the same subnet as the client) and gave boot net - install in the client.

The client boots up shows the banner and then displays error:

cant read disk label
cant open disk label package

and then goes to OK prompt.

What could be the problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

On the server you edited /etc/ethers and etc hosts and put you client info?

You ran the add_install_client command on the server?

Did you run the check command in your jumpstart profile dir?

make sure the nfs deamons are running on the server

#ps -ef | grep nfs
daemon 228 1 0 May 30 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/statd
root 229 1 0 May 30 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/lockd
root 4268 4263 0 21:58:30 pts/2 0:00 grep nfs
root 486 1 0 May 30 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/mountd
root 488 1 0 May 30 ? 1:33 /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd


if you probe-scsi on the client is the drive seen?

If you have a solaris OS cd boot cdrom -s and run format to see if the drive is ok.

What model system is the client?

Is the drive in slot 0 on the client?

Do you have a spare drive you can replace the current drive with and see what happens when you boot net - install

Thanks
