SOL10-6-06 Jumpstart question
Adding 10-6-06 to our existing Sol10 JS server, have mounted all .iso's lofi and run add_to_install_server for iso's 2-5 to the correct directory, but the jumpstart still stops and asks me:
Starting Solaris Install Launcher in Command Line Mode.
Please specify the media from which you will install Solaris 10 Software 2 for
SPARC Platforms.
Alternatively, choose the selection for "Skip" to skip this disc and go on to
the next one.
Media:
1. CD/DVD
2. Network File System
3. Skip
Media [1]: 2
Please specify the path to the network file system from which you will install
am i missing a step?
yes, this is a completely working jumpstart server, just trying to add the SOL10-6-06 distribution to it. downloaded the iso's and went through all the steps documented here:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/cd_free_install.html
previous releases install fine with the given setup. i'm just going to download the dvd image i think to get around it.

Hello,
I am trying to pxe boot any hardware and do a basic solaris 10 unattended install..
I have the pxe boot working but can't quite get the unattended install to work... It comes up and asks for the 6 options and defaults to the interactive install.. I can then install but I want this all automated.. My setup is -

Try setting it to [blah]/jumpstart/config.
Can you post the boot messages? They normally have something about looking for sysidcfg file and looking for rules.ok file. Do you see those?

OK fellas - hopefully this is an easy one for ya...
I have a jumpstart server successfully set up using 12/02 release of Solaris 9...I want to be able to boot net - install and come back in an hour or so and be looking at the console login prompt.
My jumpstart process works perfectly save for one small issue...I do not know how to automate the "autoshutdown" question and "reminder" question prior to the last reboot (hopefully everyone knows the questions I am referring to). I have a finish script that works to a tee as well....if I can get this one problem resolved, I will have my environment complete.
Thanks in advance for your replies....JHIn your finish script add this line:
touch /noautoshutdown -
Im sure Ive mended this before, but Im trying to jump a 450 with Sol 7 3/99
using a local subnet 10.0.146 network with 255.255.255.0 mask using a
local server fo9r rarp, bootparams and tftp but in the bootparams Im pointing
the root file to a server over the WAN which has a 255.255.254.0 mask on
a 10.0.62 address.
Basically it talks breifly to the NFS server then hangs saying
NFS read timed out
I have tryed tuning NFS with timeo=15 and rsize=1024 for the miniroot
but to no avail.

First let me say I'm just a simple data center tech please use small words and short sentences...
I am doing a jumpstart on a V480. Should not be a big deal, on my end I just have to get a MAC address and fill in a few blanks on a web page. The issue is I can't get this server to an OK so I can do a break and banner. I have tried all the tricks I know, not a lot mind you.. even took out the drives thinking if anything will make it go to an OK then that should. But allas no it shows me no love.
Anyone out there have an idea or two?
Thanks in advance
Marlene

fairweather9You have not told us what it is doing, so it's difficult to understand what behavior you are seeing.
Do you have a keyboard and monitor attached (in which case <stop>-<a> is the way to get to the prompt), or are you using a serial console on the machine?
Perhaps you don't have a console connection at all? Do you have a connection where you see teh boot messages?
Does the machine boot? What does it do?

Sol10-U6 Jumpstart problem - Where is 'patch_finish' script
Ever since I started using Sol10-U6, my jumpstarts have been marred by this problem. The install goes fine until the 'patch_finish' script is invoked. It appears the path '/cdrom' is hard-coded. I cannot find this script anywhere on my Sol10-U6 jumpstart server. Below is output from the install. I deleted around 10000 lines from the problem area. My 30 minute jumpstarts are now over an hour because of this.
So, Where is 'patch_finish' and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Greg Piney

Tftp access violation when trying to jumpstart a SFV120 from a Sol10U7
Hi, I am trying to build a jumpstart server (boston) for a lab, the machine is a V240 with sol10 U7,
the /jumpstart is a zfs filesystem exported via sharenfs (confirmed mounted in another machine)
I am using the JET on the jumpstart server, the make_client succeded for the client (ucrania) but when
I issue a:
boot net - install - w
the client (ucrania) stalls, so in a snoop from the server (boston) I found:

I presume it is a problem with basic configuration, but cannot find the cause, so, if
there are any online docs or if there are some test I could/should test, plz point them
out...
thanks in advance
-Oswaldothanks, yes,
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 15 Jun 15 12:20 /tftpboot/
but it seems like the problem is with this machine, maybe its bios/firmware, as I configured another
machine (x86) without touch anything else (that is, no permissions, or other things other than make_template
and make_client) and it worked....
I'll try with another sparc machine ...
thanks

Sol10 Jumpstart on X86 insists on doing interactive install
Hi,
I've been using Jumpstart for long time installing both Solaris 8 and 10 for Sparc, however now I got a brand new X4200 so I'm trying to set up the same install environment for x86. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to convince the installation process to use Custom Jumpstart, it always goes into interactive mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My environment:
* DHCP and TFTP server running Debian Linux, this seems to work fine, the Sun gets its PXE bootinfo and loads the correct menu.1st file
* Solaris 10 6.06 x86 DVD image exported from a Sun (running Solaris 8 but that shouldn't matter), jumpstart files also served by this server
when the system boots I get the following feedback on the screen:
krtld: Unused kernel arguments: 'install - nowin'

NicoGood point, I was already thinking that direction. It seems to fill in most questions correctly already except for the hostname, the fact that he needs to use NIS and the domain name. So I used another sysidcfg file from the Solaris 10 Sparc jumpstart installation and made sure the hostname/ip-address exists in the hosts map in NIS. But he's still asking the same questions.
------- new sysidcfg --------------

NIS has the right entry

10.221.60.240 piro.mydomain.com piro
10.221.60.240 piro.mydomain.com piro
DNS is also correct
nslookup piro
Name: piro.mydomain.com
Address: 10.221.60.240
nslookup 10.221.60.240
Name: piro.mydomain.com
Address: 43.221.60.240
Doing a snoop on the NIS server reveals he's not even trying to reach the server. -
Jumpstart finish script question
Does anyone know if it is possible to write a jumpstart finish script in perl? I guess this is equivalent to asking if there is a perl interpreter on the mini-root?
Trying to script modifications to /etc/vfstab with sh/sed/awk is making me feel ill...
-ThanksAFAIK, Nope!
But, you can do something else if you're not sed/awk savvy...
echo ":wq!" | vi -c "%s!<initial regex>!<desired regex>!g" <filename>
or some variant of this would allow you to modify files via the script (I do it all the time). -
Question about jumpstarting X64 Boxes w/o CDROM's
I am not allowed to deploy a DHCP server in my data center. I need to build a box that has no CDROM. What are my options... I just tried a USB CDROM and for whatever reason it won't recognize a bootable install disc in the drive. (drive is verified to be working on several windows machines)
Is there are way to use DHCP/PXE boot in a manner that it won't respond to client requests other than the box I intend to jumpstart?
ThxHard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull
the power cord from the printer then from the
wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to
wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power
up’ and restore the printer to a known good
condition (if it is possible). No user settings
are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful
tools to use when the printer hardware is not
functioning properly!
if not fixed it is the printhead that has an issue.

Dhcpd SUNW options and jumpstart...
I am having problems getting my SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 's to boot from via
boot net:dhcp - installIt acquires the the ip address and boots from the tftp server just fine. The problem is that I have a 'sysidcfg' file on the NFS server and it is read by the install process (That is, I can see the printout that says it has read the sysidcfg file), but the install does not seem to use it to configure the system. It then reverts to a manual configuration.
Any Ideas as to how to get the clients to use the 'sysidcfg'?
I am using
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.0.5 -- on CentOS Linux
the tftp server is also on the CentOS Linux server
The NFS server is running solaris 10.
To add to the confusion, the NFS server is on a different subnet then the install clients.
My setup.
This setup is spread accross multiple files by way of 'include "/path/to/foo.conf", but this is the order in which they appear.
Odviously the IP's are changed and the FQDN's are changed to example.com.

The problem is that I have a 'sysidcfg' file on the NFS server and it is read by the install process (That is, I can see the printout that says it has read the sysidcfg file), but the install does not seem to use it to configure the system. It then reverts to a manual configuration.What questions are asked? Exactly what is the behavior that it shows?
Any Ideas as to how to get the clients to use the 'sysidcfg'?It sounds like it is using it, but perhaps the entries are not complete, or something else is happening.

The specific bits you need depend on the specific version of Solaris that you're installing. Does the installer ask you questions about all of those items? If not, it sounds like the file is being read. What release is being installed? I don't see any mention of a default_router. You may want to supply one (or define NONE) here.
(I wouldn't bother with an external timeserver. I find it easier to specify timeserver=localhost and fix the time post-boot. Probably not your problem here, but I've seen it cause problems in older setups).
A couple things that come to mind that I don't have the answer to, and can't find in the Docs:
1) Do the dhcpd, tftp and the NFS server all need to be the same server for some reason?No. The fact that you're getting to this point shows that all of that phase is working. You've already succesfully booted from the NFS root filesystem and are running Solaris.
2) In regards to the dhcpd, is there some protocol that the sun-boxes expect that the dhcp server is not giving?No. You're done with DHCP by this point. Congratulations.
3) Is having the NFS share across subnets of any consequence?Shouldn't be.

How to launching a perl script by the "begin" script of a jumpstart
Hi all,
i have an urgent pb with my solaris jumpstart, let me explain to you :
i want that the begin script launch some perl script, but i have a problem
here is my "begin" script:
echo "Begining ISO FLAR based jumpstart."
echo ""
echo "Starting Ullink Configuration"
env > /tmp/env
/bin/sh << EOF
/usr/bin/perl /cdrom/.archives/admin-scripts/sethostname.pl
EOFmy perl script use a STDIN
with this configuration, the perl script is launching but it runs in a loop indefinitely with an error "use of uninitialized value", because (i think) a value is return to the begin scritp and not to the perl script.
well, on a pre-installed solaris, if a launch the begin script, it happens the same thing, it runs in a loop, BUT if i comment the line "/bin/sh <<EOF" and "EOF", it works.
at this step, i say "ok it's cool my script is working", but when i use it during the jumpstart instalaltion, the perl script does not start, without any particular error.
here is my perl script, if you want to test :

How can i create a zfs slice on the finish scritp of a jumpstart?
Hi All,
i need advice for a particular task.
i have a jumpstart wich create a certain number of usf slice (/, /var, etc...).
it's working good, but i have a final goal : with the rest of the half of the free space, i want to create a zfs pool, with the help of the finish script.
i think the best way is to use "format" or "fdisk" command with a script like "fdisk /dev/dsk/c0d0 < script.sh"
and after that a simple "zpool create ...." command for creating the zfs.
so i have 2 questions:
do you think it's the best way?
how can i write the "script.sh" for telling him to use only the half of the free space?
thxWhy not make another slice for ZFS to use? Then just setup the zfs pool in your finish script. I use JET here as a friendly front end to jumpstart. You could just have your jumpstart setup create the slice (base_config_profile_s?_size) with no mountpoint (base_config_profile_s?_mtpt) then use that slice when you make the zfs pool later in the finish script.
I do not believe you will be able to easily get ZFS to use just part of a device without some sort of partitioning. Do some reading on zpool (man zpool) under the vdev section. -
Solaris 10 8/07 on sparc jumpstart issue
hi,
I just tried to jumpstart via 'boot net:dhcp - install' the 8/07 release. No changes on my servers, only a link to the new repository. Though it throws me into the interactive install pretty early. I remeber from the earlier days that the 'question' that is asked at that point is a hint for the missing entry in the sysidcfg, doesn't seem to be this time:
─ The Solaris Installation Program ─────────────────────────────────────────────
The Solaris installation program is divided into a series of short sections
where you'll be prompted to provide information for the installation. At
the end of each section, you'll be able to change the-selections you've----
made before continuing.
About navigation... back to a confirmation screen you've already passed,
[ snip ]
This is my sysidcfg file:
keyboard=US-English
system_locale=en_US
timezone=MET
timeserver=localhost
terminal=vt100
root_password=MYROOTPWD
nfs4_domain=MY.DOMAIN.DE
network_interface=primary {dhcp protocol_ipv6=no}
name_service=DNS {domain_name=my.domain.de
name_server=my-ip-address-for-dns}
security_policy=kerberos {default_realm=MY>REALM
admin_server=MY.KERBEROS.SERVER
kdc=MY.KDC}
Any hints someone ???
cheers
