Jumpstart of Solaris 10 halts when "Discovering additional network..."

Installing Solaris 10 using jumpstart from Solaris 9 server, using JASS 4.2 (Solaris Security Toolkit 4.2.0)
However, the install just hangs after the following printout:
Discovering additional network configuration...
I tried snoop on the install server, but that does not catch any packets after the stalling.
The machines are connected via a router, but broadcast should be transmitted and installing Solaris 9 was OK.
Client is added in ethers, using NIS.
Any hints?

The IP subnets are not technically the same (10.1/16 and 10.2/16), but they are handled by the same router.
Normal operation and Solaris9 jumpstart is fine. I got the same problem when I tried jumpstart in the same subnet as the jumpstart server.
The Solaris10 installer is doing something unexpected when detecting setting. Something like checking that address with DHCP is the same as the one gotten initially ( I do not believe this is the problem, this is just in the area where I believe that there is problems).
Any specific hints?

  • Discovering additional network configurations

    Can someone help me. While trying to install solaris 10 in my ultra 80. I keep getting a hangup while discovering additional network configurations. How can I disable this so it doesnt happen anymore.

    boot cdrom -vs is supposed to take you to a functional environment,
    into single-user mode, and do so in a verbose fashion.
    That is exactly what the command does. Thus it's functioning properly.
    To start your OS installation, just boot to the cdrom.
    OK boot cdrom <enter>
    If you want it to do so in a verbose fashion, use the -v command switch.
    ... just do not use the letter "s" in the command and it will start the install.
    During this entire discussion, you never mentioned whether you even tried
    to probe the SCSI bus to see whether the drives were recognized by OBP.
    If OBP doesn't see them, then your system will fail back to trying to discover
    a boot device on the network ( along any network pathway that could possibly exist ).

  • Discovering additional network

    hi all

    Have you by any chance set it up to use DHCP? If so then you might want to change that to a static entry.

  • Why does 10.8 take so long to discover Wifi networks?

    I've noticed recently that it takes a very long time for my MacBook Pro 6,2 OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 to discover WiFi networks.
    I open the laptop up, or wake it up from sleep, and the wifi takes 30 secs to more than 1 minutes to find any WiFi networks. It doesn't maintain the connection to the network it was connected to before the last time it went to sleep.
    The WiFi icon in the upper left has no bars, all greyed out, nothing moving. When I click on it, the context menu that drops down just says "no network selected".
    Interestingly, if I turn WiFi off, wait a few seconds, then turn it on again, it works fine, connects very quickly.
    Is anyone else having these problems? I would very much like to get this resolved. I primarily use my computer for webbrowsing, so when I open it and have to sit there for a minute before any networks are found, then I have to go in and select my network, it becomes very frustrating.
    Thanks

  • Problem jumpstarting a Solaris 9 SPARC from Solaris 10 x86

    Hi all,
    I'm going to install a couple of servers using Jumpstart, but I've run
    into a problem so I'm kinda in panic.
    This is the net boot:
    Executing last command: boot net - install
    Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1 File and args: - install
    Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
    29200 panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
    Program terminated
    ok
    I've setup the jumpstart server on my x86 PC, which is Solaris 10 final
    with JET 3.7.3. Since I'm jumpstarting Solaris 9 onto a SPARC machine, I
    had to do copy_solaris_media over NFS, since I can't mount the SPARC
    ISO-CD1 on my x86. The install server seems to be OK, at least it didn't
    complain during setup.
    The log entry from sniffing the JS server:

    install_config=192.168.4.5:/opt/jet rootopts=:rsize
    32768
    term=:vt100
    Any idea what could be wrong? It stops at 29200, wheres Solaris 10 runs
    further up to 38000 something.
    Jumpstarting the Solaris 10 onto the same SPARC works perfectly, using
    the exact same configuration files.
    Thanks

    I then replaced /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1 with /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1 from the Solaris 10 tree, renamed /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1 to /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1
    Voila!
    Now works.
    inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1 was not corrupt (must be some internal bootimage bug related to Netra-T1?).
    Old bootimage: "inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1", 152376 bytes, "sum" 3662 and 298.
    New bootimage: "inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1" (Sol 10 image), 214880 bytes, "sum" 53512 and 420.
    By the way I was using latest Solaris 9/04, u7

  • Can i stop airport from searching for additional networks after connecting to a network

    Airport keeps searching for additional networks after connecting to my wireless router.  Can I stop this?  does this effect system performance?

    No, it doesn't affect performance. And, it only occurs prior to connection to the desired network or when you click on the menubar icon for Airport.

  • Solaris hangs when Oracle SGA is too large

    I am an Oracle DBA with preconfigured Solaris servers. Our Unix admin is outsourced so we don't have a lot of good support here. When I set the instance SGA too large the server hangs and requires a hard reboot It seems that the error is due to insufficient memory or swap. Is this normal behaviour for Solaris 10? Shouldn't the process abend before the server does?

    I've managed to duplicate this behavour on two seperate boxes. The first server is quite small only 1G physical memory and the SGA target was set too high. Additionally Oracle was competing with other resources on this box. Still it was surprising to me that the server actually hung. I would have expected to get something like "shared memory realm does not exists" if there was not enough memory.
    The second box has 8G physical memory and 4G swap. I set up the oracle /etc/project parameters for this one, here are the kernel settings:
    shminfo_shmmni = 256
    seminfo_semmni = 128
    shminfo_shmmax = 4G
    seminfo_semmsl = 256
    In this case Solaris hung when I started the database with a 4G MAX_SGA_SIZE, I don't think SGA_TARGET was set. I think the server ran out of swap but I'm still confused because it seems like physical memory should have been available. Also I don't understand why the Oracle instance would have even been using swap because Oracle locks physical memory using ISM or DISM.
    In both case the OS hung and could only be revived with a hard reboot.

  • Wifi was working, and now does not discover any networks

    I had wifi working, and now it does recognize any of the 6 networks that everything else discovers, any sugestions?
    I read all related posts, did the software update to latest version, restarted several times, and did wifi reset. Actually my statmenet above is not entirely true. It does discover the network and connects when I place the device on top of a router, but moving to 50cm away from it and the connection disconnects and there are no networks discovered. I have tried it with 2 different routers, both of them are working well with my blackberry and laptop - and this was also working with the ipad before.

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If this does not work, then restore the iPad to its factory settings and start again.

  • Jumpstart of Solaris 9

    Hi,
    Iam having an issue with swap file system while doing a jumpstart of solaris 9. It configures swap from cylinder 0 even though in my Internal.profile script i have specified as below
    filesys c1t0d0s1 16384 /
    filesys c1t0d0s0 8192 swap
    The same configuration works fine for other versions like solaris 8 where it creates swap after root. Is there any way to specify somewhere so that root only takes cylinder 0?
    When i went through few documents it says from solaris 9 for perfornace swap is taken from 0th cylinder..

    You can specify cylinder range in your profile.
    Eg:
    filesys c1t0d0s0 0:4096 /
    Check the exact syntax from the jumpstart docs (advanced installation guide)
    The reason why they had jumpstart assigning cyl0 to swap is so that seek time would be reduced (for reading/writing from/to swap). IINM, they have changed that with newer releases of Solaris 9 and subsequently with solaris 10.

  • Cannot receive calls when using Edge network for data?

    Hi,
    This afternoon someone was trying to reach me urgently and all her calls to my iPhone went straight into my voicemail. My phone never rang and never showed missed calls.
    I spoke to Aaron at Apple, thinking there might be a problem with my phone, and he told me that when the Edge network is in use, then the phone will not ring and calls will be routed straight to voicemail.
    Is this really expected behavior? I was not aware of it.
    iPhone 8GB    

    This has nothing to do with EDGE all other phones will notify you and pause the connection. i posted about this 2 days ago but the thread got deleted.
    here is a video that proves this, the noise is from the GSM but the user is clearly on the edge network.
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=NMm2AY-_TTY
    this is from Tier 2 suport at Apple.
    Everyone having this issue should call 1-800-MY iPhon. Ask to speak to Tier II support, the person you get may try to help, and may need to give you a case number. You'll probably have to wait a while on hold.
    I just spent an hour on the phone with Tier I & II. The tier I guy started by saying that when you use EDGE it will always go to voicemail. I told him, I was on a user forum & some people said they don't have the issue. He then tested it on his phone & experienced the direct to v-mail issue. We talked about how this was a real problem & how both of our nokia phones didn't have this issue (he actually had the E-61 also). He gave me a case number & transferred my to tier II. The tier II guy told me that this was a software issue. That a pop-up needs to be designed into the software to allow the user the option to disconnect the data connection & accept the voice call, or not. I told him that I'd read on a user forum that some users get voice calls while using EDGE. He said that if they are using you tube the call will automatically interrupt & switch out of you tube. We then tested this on my iPhone & it worked (i.e. the call interupted you tube). He said the software currently decides to disconnect data or send calls to voice mail during EDGE transmissions based on what the user is doing. Phone calls take priority over you tube & widgets (stock & weather)but safari and e-mail take priority over phone calls. He said the thought was, it would be more annoying to users to be in the middle of sending an e-mail and having mail disconnected for a phone call, than having the call go to voicemail. The ideal solution is to have a choice (like other phones allow) but right now the iPhone software does not have a pop-up designed allowing the user to accept the call or keep the data connection. (He seemed to be familiar with this on other phones while being tethered to a macbook to use their data connections & getting voice calls during downloads).
    He said he was submitting this to the engineering group & said the more people that call tier II about this & submit it as an issue via online feedback, the higher priority it will get to be addressed in the first software update. So if you want to see this fixed start calling and submitting the issue http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html in as much detail as possible (specifically say that other existing phones Nokia S60s etc. have this function).
    and here is a thread that is discussing this serious problem. note it is now many pages long.
