Hello.

I'm trying to setup a jumpstart server to be able to install clients
from the LAN. To do so, I did on the install server to be:

mount -F hsfs -o ro `lofiadm -a $(dirname "$0")/sol-10-u5-ga-sparc-dvd.iso` $(dirname "$0")/iso
cd iso
cd Solaris_10/Tools
./setup_install_server /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install
cd /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install
cd Solaris_10/Tools
./add_install_client -i 10.0.1.22 -e 00:03:ba:12:d3:04 \
-p sys01.unx:/data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/sysidcfg/sys02 \
sys02 sun4u

Ie. I loop mounted the Solaris 10 U5 Sparc image to the "iso" directory.
After that, I created an install server and had it put all the files in
/data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install. After that, I added an install
client. System name is sys02 with the shown IP and MAC adress. I created
a custom sysidcfg file for this machine:

$ cat /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/sysidcfg/sys02
keyboard=Swiss-German
system_locale=de_CH.UTF-8
timezone=Europe/Zurich
terminal=sun-cmd
timeserver=10.0.1.11
name_service=DNS {domain_name=unx
name_server=10.0.1.11,10.0.2.1,10.0.15.4
search=unx}
nfs4_domain=dynamic
root_password=r...
network_interface=PRIMARY {hostname=sys02
default_route=10.0.0.254
ip_address=10.0.1.22
netmask=255.255.248.0
protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=NONE
service_profile=limited_net

Now I'm trying to get the installation going. So I switch to the
ok prompt on sys02 and do:

{0} ok boot net

Hm. Why does that happen? /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot

It is NFS exported - it's on a ZFS.

The directory holding the sysidcfg file is also NFS exported:

sys02 (the client which I want to install) and sys01 (the install
server) are on the same subnet.

What's going wrong here?

Thanks a lot,

I now tried a "verbose" boot:

Rebooting with command: boot net -v - install
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/network@5,1: File and args: -v - install
38e00 Using RARP/BOOTPARAMS...
Internet address is: 10.0.1.22

boot: lookup /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot failed
panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
Program terminated

Here we see, that it finds the correct server (10.0.1.21 or sys01).
But for some reason or the other "lookup" fails. What does that
indicate?

When the system is normally booted (there's S10 on it right now), I
can NFS mount the root directory just fine.

I also tried making the root directory be in a "shorter" path (ie.
/data/s10-install). And I also tried changing the sharenfs property
to ro,anon=0. Both things didn't change a thing :(

What is actually failing here? And why?

Thanks a lot,

one problem could be a nonexistent defaultrouter, is yours (10.0.0.254)
reachable for the netbooted server? the bootp works fine, but i had the
same error and i think it is described in some older docs from sun. I am
not shure if this is a fixed bug.

Have you snooped nfs on the install-server, does it get nfs-packets?

It should be. In the sysidcfg file, I've set:

network_interface=PRIMARY {hostname=sys02
                       default_route=10.0.0.254
                       ip_address=10.0.1.22
                       netmask=255.255.248.0
                       protocol_ipv6=no}

Hm.

Is the defaultrouter reachable? I don't know - what subnet mask
is used at that part of the booting process? But either way,
it seems that it was able to contact the server somehow, because
it got the /data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/install/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
from "somewhere" - and I defined that path only on sys01 (the
install server).

I tried this:

./add_install_client -i 10.0.1.22 -e 00:03:ba:12:d3:04 \
-p sys01.unx:/data/software/solaris/Solaris10/U5/sysidcfg/winds02 \
-n 'none(255.255.248.0)' winds02 sun4u

Ie. I added "-n 'none(255.255.248.0)'" to the command line, which
resulted in "ns=none(255.255.248.0)" being set in /etc/bootparams.

Didn't change anything.

I'll do that.

Direct answer to your question: Yes, the install-server gets the
nfs-packages from the netbooted system (sys01 is the install-server,
sys02 is the booted system).

Hm. "Mount Permission denied"? Why's that?

.....

Argl.

For some reason or the other, the install path wasn't shared :(
A "zfs share data/software/...." fixed that. Bummer :((

Thanks a lot for the "snoop" hint!

Then I'd break out 'snoop' on the server and compare the mount the
jumpstart client does and the mount that the Solaris 10 server does.
See where the difference is, then post that.
