Status Issued

Description
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
