Setting up E10000 Domain to Boot from Net |
|
24 Jan 1999 |
When trying to boot E10000 domain from net ---> waiting for ARP ...
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
The following procedure will help you bring up the domain over the network.
Set up the boot server on the ssp
---------------------------------
1. On SSP: # domain_switch <domain_name>
2. # bringup -A off
3. Open netcon session to domain
4. Make sure you have 2.6 cdrom local on ssp
5. # /cdrom/sol_2_6_sparc_smcc_svr/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools/rm_install_client <domain_name>
6. #/cdrom/sol_2_6_sparc_smcc_svr/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools/add_install_client <domain_name> sun
4u1
Please Note!
The CD-ROM has to be local on ssp since the boot image will still reside on
the CD-ROM.
7. # vi /etc/ethers -> add/check MAC address and e10k domainname
if you do not know MAC address type "banner" in
netcon session at the doamin's ok prompt
or sysid -d ***
8. # vi /etc/hosts -> add e10k domainname and ip address
9. Check /tfptboot/
10. Verify data in /etc/bootparams file for domain
11. boot net -s (in domain netcon)
Troubleshooting if it still does not boot:
-----------------------------------------
1. snoop -d <ifname> <domain_name>
2. watch-net-all at ok prompt of domain
3. On ssp check /export/home/ssp/.postrc for errors
(/export/install is for permanent bootserver installation only)
4. Check to make sure the CD-ROM was shared correctly
ssp# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
