Solaris 10 Jumpstart issue

[asya]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to jumpstart a new T5220 server. Solaris version is
inst_sparc_10_1106.

I've ran add_install_client with sun4v as a platform, but getting the
following error when trying to boot from network:

{0} ok boot net - install

SPARC Enterprise T5220, No Keyboard
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.29.0.a, 32640 MB memory available, Serial #86298584.
Ethernet address 0:21:28:24:cf:d8, Host ID: 8524cfd8.

Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@2/network@0 File and args:
- install
1000 Mbps full duplex Link up
Requesting Internet Address for 0:21:28:24:cf:d8
Requesting Internet Address for 0:21:28:24:cf:d8
Requesting Internet Address for 0:21:28:24:cf:d8
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

This is what i was able to find so far that made sense..but i am not
sure what else to try:

The file just loaded does not appear to be executable

You will need to verify that the custom JumpStart server has been
correctly set up as a boot and install server. Additionally, make sure
you specified the correct platform group for the client when you ran
add_install_client to set up the client to be able to use JumpStart.

What else should i try?

Thank you!

Just to add.. I found the following OS requirements on Sun website:

Solaris 10 8/07 OS and Solaris 10 10/08 OS

Ours is older.. so could it be the case?

We do have 2 other T5220 and my co-worker says he jumpstarted one of
them, but doesn't remember for sure.....

Are you using the correct architecture for the boot media? Your T5220
is a sun4v architecture, are you instead using sun4u?

[asya]

I am using correct architecture (sun4v). This is my jumpstart
command:

/export/src/jumpstart/inst_sparc_10/Solaris_10/Tools/
add_install_client -c foil:/export/src/jumpstart -p foil:/export/src/
jumpstart/prof setup1 sun4v

I updated our jumpstart server with the latest Solaris 10 version...
still getting same error message....

Thanks you, everyone...

interesting. I've run into odd boot failures when jumpstarting that a
'reset-all' at the OBP fixed. Maybe give that a shot...

[asya]

after working with sun support on getting this resolved.. Here is the
problem:

You need the following line in sysidcfg file:
nfs4_domain=dynamic

This is something new that now needs to be done for solaris 10.

Replace udp6 to udp in /etc/inetd.conf for tftp record:

# TFTPD - tftp server (primarily used for booting)
##tftp dgram udp6 wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
