SUMMARY: Jumpstart Question

2007-12-24 21:34:00

Gurus,
Thanks for all the responses! It turns out I needed to use the -p
option when running the add_install_client command. However, it strikes
me as strange that the Netras I built only days earlier installed no
problem and I didn't use the -p option. That's for another thread I
guess.

My syntax to get everything working was:
./add_install_client -c server1:/jumpstart -p server1:/jumpstart -s
server1:/export/install sunfire1 SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

server1 is my boot & installation server.

Thanks to:

Gurus,

Hardware: Sun-Fire-280R
OS: Solaris 8

In a bit of a bind. We just got 5 new 280Rs in and I need to jumpstart
them. I have a jumpstart server in which I can "install" the servers
from. I created a new rule to correspond to the new machines I want to
install. However, when it begins the install it doesn't seem to be using
the sysidcfg file at all. It starts out as if I am installing from the cd
with all the standard questions. Is there a reason it would bypass the
sysidcfg file? Much thanks in advance. Will summerize!
