Installing a Netra X1 from the net

2007-12-24 22:17:00

Hello admins,

I am trying to install a netra from an install server. I followed the
instructions in the Netra X1 user's guide to setup an install server on
a Sun Blade 100 in the same subnet and then tried to install.

I added the client as follows where 192.168.1.10 is the ip-address of
the machine I want to assign to the netra and 00:03:ba:0f:d3:0f is its
ether address. CentauriA is the hostname I want to give the netra.

InstallServer# ./add_install_client -i 192.168.1.10 -e 00:03:ba:0f:d3:0f
CentauriA sun4u

Anybody knows what this "couldn't set locale correctly" means? I asume
it has nothing to do with the net install but who knows... When I try to
netboot the netra I get the following:

ok boot net

LOM event: +0h36m21s host reset

What does this mean? Who is trying to mount a CD here? The Netra or the
Blade? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas
