Solaris 10 x86 PXE and jumpstart using Linux DHCP server !!

Hi,
I am trying to get a my Solaris 10x86 jumpstart rolling.
I have created the images for the OS, but the only issue I have ahead is using a Linux box as a DHCP server for my X86 box to get the image.
Is it possible to have a linux host that serves as a dhcp server to jumstart X86 host with Sol 10 x86
or do I need to have a solaris host that runs DHCP service on it.
Any advice on this issue.
Thanks.

Well, if you don't think the online Documentation helpful, then the better way is reading step-by-step instructions from a book. Get to local bookstore, i.e Barne&Nobles or Border or any big local bookstore, there should be pretty good book for Unix Administrator (Solaris version).
If you have time and think you can memorize then, read on the spot; otherwise, buy the book for future reference.
If that's not what you had in mind, then this link of free online book might help : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/solaris8/chapter/ch04.html
Normally, oreilly online bookstore offers free books to accredited universities, colleges, and organizations. However, if that option isn't for you, it might even offer free sample chapters that might just suit your needs.
hoep it helps.

PXE and Windows eating up DHCP leases

Hi,
We've got three DHCP servers on three sites, running the ISC DHCP
daemon. We also have Zen for Desktops 7 on all three sites running on
Netware 6.5.
My problem is that when the PC boots, it ends up with two leases - one
for when the PXE runs, and another for when Windows boots! I've attached
an example of what happens, and the leases from the log files of the
server, to show what's happening. In a nutshell, it seems to be related
to the fact that the PXE session doesn't show a UID to the DHCP server,
but Windows does. As a result, DHCPD treats them as two different hosts,
and grants two leases. The only way around this right now is
ridiculously short leases, which results in very chatty workstations and
servers.
I tried the "deny duplicates;" setting in the dhcpd.conf, but that
doesn't seem to have worked. We have just over 50% of the DHCP pool
used, so as a result most PCs work, apart from the last ones on which
start showing 'No free leases' in the log file.
I'm going to upgrade the server to SLES10 soon (it's currently on an
ancient redhat install), but there's nothing in the changelogs relating
to duplicates that I could see, so I don't think it's a version issue.
Can anybody suggest anything to try and alleviate this problem? Is
anybody seeing this?
Regards,

Hi,
Just following this one up. It's still happening!
I tried using 'deny duplicates' in the dhcpd.conf, and it seemed to work
for a while, but it's still happening; I think we just had a low number
of PCs switched on!
We're on ZfD 7 SP1, Hotfix 3, with the Hotfix 4 PXE files installed
(Hotfix 4 came out about a week after I installed hotfix 3!).
Anyway, it's still happening and driving me to distraction. Of about
140-something hosts, they're using twice as many leases as they should,
so they're back on 10-minute leases, just to recycle them fast enough.
Anybody have any suggestions?!

Does option 43 matter ? WLC5508 ver 7.2 using internal DHCP server

I am using a WLC 5508 and its internal DHCP server. I cant find anywhere I can setup option 43. However, the access points are connected in just fine. Do I need to worry about setting up a seperate DHCP server to get option 43 setup properly ?
Thank you.

Sorry I didnt make my question clear.
I am using a WLC 5508 and its internal DHCP server. I cant find anywhere I can setup option 43.
When I connect a CAPWAPP Access Point to the network, it receives IP address from the WLC 5508 DHCP service just fine. It shows up in the access points list and users can connect to it no problem.
Do I need to worry about setting up a seperate DHCP server to get option 43 setup properly ?

TSIG Key and ip address in DHCP Server Setting

Hi all,
i would like to display the ip address leases in the java dns/dhcp management console. Tried to follow the description in chapter 7.2.14 (oes2 dns/dhcp documentation) and created the TSIG key. But after that i'm unable to add it to the server object because the 'omapi-key' attribute is missing...
The seccond issue is, that i cannod add the dhcp servers ip address to the dhcp server configuration using the java console or imanager...
Any ideas?
Environment is oes2/sp3
David

David,
Check out TID 7006450, Viewing Dynamic Leases Under the DNS/DHCP Mgt Console from OES2.
Hope it helps.

DHCP lease issue for PPPoA sessions when using external DHCP server

We used to use the Cisco 7206VXR's DHCP server to hand out leases, and when we lost several hundred customers on a link, the router was able to get them up and connected with an IP address within minutes.
We switched over to using an external DHCP server so we could have more control over some extended DHCP options, as well as to aggregate all our DHCP traffic. Now, if we lose 100 DSL customers all at once, it takes 90 minutes for them to come up again. They come in a few at at time, until all 100 are back.
We see waves of RADIUS auth's in our RADIUS log (RADIUS has always been handled externally, so nothing changed there), and continuous streams of DHCP requests come in and DHCP offers go out. What seems to be happening is that a whole bunch of modems auth with RADIUS, request IP addresses, but for whatever reason, timeout when they don't all get their lease, drop the connection, and retry the whole process all over again. We purchased a dedicated DHCP server, thinking that was the bottleneck, but performance is about identical.
Here's our config:
interface Virtual-Template1
ip unnumbered Loopback11
ip helper-address a.b.c.d
peer default ip address dhcp
ppp authentication pap
ppp ipcp dns a.b.c.d e.f.g.h
ppp ipcp unique-address
My questions are:
- is there any performance issue with using an external DHCP server and PPPoA
- is there anything in our config that would cause such delays
Frank

GP:
No, the DHCP server is not across a WAN link; there is only a 10/100 switch in between the router and the DHCP server. There are no dropped packets on the interface.
I ended up opening a case with TAC about this issue. While I had the helper address configured in the template, TAC recommeneded that I specify the actual DHCP server with the command "ip dhcp-server x.x.x.x". This eliminates the DHCPBROADCAST (which I've verified). Perhaps the DHCP relay portion of the Cisco router is performed serially, instead of in parallel. By that, I mean, the next DHCPBROADCAST won't go out until there is the response for the first DHCPBROADCAST.
I'll know in a few days when we test again.

Air Print to any printer - using linux cups server

For those folks who may have Linux boxes with a printer configured, you can make this printer available for air print using a tweak to your CUPs config and adding an avahi service. Details are here (no need to download & purchase additional software)
http://hartlessbydesign.com/blog/view/197-airprint-with-ubuntu-1010
I tested this procedure myself on a Canon MP140 printer sending a print job from the photos App on an iPad. It took a couple of refresh attempts to find the printer but once it did, print jobs sent just fine.

I do not have the exact printer model that you have, but have used several HP wireless printers that all work just fine with an AirPort Extreme.
Your wireless printer will connect to the wireless signal provided by an AirPort Extreme.....or any other wireless router.....just like any wireless device would connect to a network:
1) Identify the network to be joined during setup
2) Enter the wireless password to connect to the network

Can I use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only? I've got 5 dynamic IP's from Time Warner..

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I can use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only only my network, without having to have any of my PC's plugged into it's router ports? I looked at the settings but I couldn't get it to work.
Here's why: I just got Time Warner Business Class cable internet which comes with 5 dynamic IP's. I want each computer, well 4 of them at least and 1 for the WRT54G, to have a unique IP when accessing the internet, and the other computers (5 more computers) to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G to get a NAT IP for use on the internet.
We play Diablo II on the internet and only 4 computers can be connected through 1 IP, so that limits us in my current configuration.
Current Equipment: One WRT54G, one Netgear GS116 16 port gigabit non-managed switch. One Time Warner Cable modem. Also attached to the network is one HP network printer, a Buffalo LinkStation NAS and a Zensonic Network DVD player.
Current config: Cable modem --> WRT54G --> Netgear switch.
Ideal config: Cable modem --> Netgear switch --> WRT54G.
With my current config, I am not taking advantage of the 5 dynamic IP's, but all the computers connected to the Netgear switch or the WRT54G can connect to the internet and the NAS.
So my ideal config (where I don't have to buy anything and where all the computers can print and access the NAS) is to connect all the computers and devices to the Netgear Switch and somehow force 4 of the computers and the WRT54G to get a dynamic IP from the cable modem, while the other computers and devices use the DHCP server on the WRT54G to get to the internet.
Is this possible?
I called Time Warner Cable and they weren't any help. I called the Linksys sales department and they weren't of much help either.
I suppose that I could purchase a new 8 port switch and attach 4 computers, the cable modem and the WRT54G to it. Then attach the Netgear to the WRT54G to accomodate the printer, NAS, and the other 5 computers. But in that senario, the 4 computers connected to the new switch can't print and can't reach the NAS. And geez, some computers would have to go through 3 devices to reach the internet, which has got to slow them down.
I did read about the Linksys EFG120 which has a DHCP server, but at $400 and only 120 gigs, it doesn't work for me.
I called Time Warner and the cost of more dynamic IP's is prohibitive, I'm already paying $79 a month for this internet and they want another $50 a month for 7 more dynamic IP's and that wouldn't help my NAS or my printer.
The cost of a 16 port gigabit switch with DHCP is an amazing $800 or so, which is out of the question.
Sorry for being so long winded and thanks for reading this far. I'm looking forward to any replies.

That is a hell of a setup. I don't know if it would be easier and cheaper to either buy a real router like a Cisco, get fixed IP addresses and a RV042, or buy 4 network cards for the four of the five computers which need the internet access for gaming.
O.K. First your setup:
1. You wire the modem to the 6-port switch.
2. You connect the remaining 5 ports with the WAN ports of 5 WRTs with DHCP on the WAN interface.
3. You configure each WRT with unique LAN IP addresses in the same subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5.
4. You turn off all DHCP servers except on one, e.g. 192.168.1.1. That router will be the default router and internet connection for any client which gets dynamic LAN addresses (as fallback or guests, I would not configure the NAS or printer with DHCP addresses if you have everything else on static IP addresses). You can certainly disable all DHCP servers if you want, too.
5. Now you connect all WRTs with each other.
5a. You connect port 1 of the 1st WRT with port 1 of the 2nd.
You connect port 2 of the 2nd with port 1 of the 3rd.
Port 2 of the 3rd with port 1 of the 4th.
Port 2 of the 4th with port 1 of the 5th.
(Do not create a loop connecting port 2 of the 5th with port 2 of the 1st!!)
5b. You buy another switch and connect each port 1 of each router with this switch. This has the advantage that you don't have a long cascade between the 1st and the 5th router like in 5a.
6. You connect all devices to the LAN.
6a. If you did 5a, you will probably put each computer to the router which internet connection it uses. The NAS and printer could go anywhere.
6b. If you did 5b, you hopefully bought a 16 or 24 port switch. Then you plug simply everything into that switch. Otherwise you can certainly use the free ports of the WRTs like in 6a.
7. You configure all your devices with static IP addresses. For instance,
IP 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
For the DNS servers I would highly recommend to use the DNS servers of your ISP directly and not use the relay on 192.168.1.1.
The gateway address defines through which router the computer connects to the internet.
8. You may still have to configure port forwardings on the router to the game computer if required for the game.
An interesting alternative to this setup might be to buy 4/5 network cards for the 4/5 computers with direct internet access. Then you use the one network card to connect to your single LAN behind your single WRT. The other network card goes into the switch behind the modem and has direct internet access. You then have to tell Windows which of the network cards has the default gateway for the internet connection (to prevent routing all traffic through the LAN and the WRT to the internet). One game computer would have to be behind the WRT.

DHCP Server does not work after Exporting and Importing Using Netsh Command

Hello Friends :
I had two dhcp servers in windows server 2003 server , I have upgraded one of them to windows server 2008 32 bit and again i installed a windows server 2008 R2 as an additional Domain Controller , the last scenario was like this :
srv-1 : windows server 2003 + DHCP = working with no problem
srv-2 : windows server 2003 + DC + DHCP = Worked without problem
srv-3 : windows server 2008 R2 + DC = worked without any problems
I exported the DHCP server configuration on the srv-2 using netsh dhcp server export and Imported them to srv-3 using the
netsh dhcp server import command , the command completed successfully and i can see all of the scopes without any problems and errors , i have authorized the new server without any problem , all scopes are activated without any problem so i
disabled the srv-2 DHCP service and unauthorized it from active directory , the problem is that the new server semms that does not lease any address to clients !!!
1- I have authorized it
2- I used Rogue Checker tool in client computers they see authorized server without any problems
3- The same tool in workgroup only shows srv-1 as the DHCP server and does not see other DHCP servers
4- Bindings are OK and DHCP servers only have one NIC installed on them
What can i do to make sure my srv-3 DHCP server will work on the network ?
thanks ...

Are the clients on another network so you need to configure a DHCP relay agent?
If you load up perfmon on the dhcp server and remove all counters and then add DHCP counters. Do you see any dhcprequests when you reboot your dhcp clients? This will determine if your server actually receives any dhcp requests.
Have you check event viewer for any warnings or errors?
And the classic one restarted the dhcp server service (or reboot)?

PXE boot problem: guest VM DHCP request packets not able to reach DHCP server

Hi Gurus,
I'm wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. I wanted to install Linux on Oracle VMs using PXE. I set up a DHCP server and the OVM running RHEL6.4 box. The DHCP server worked fine since other PHYSICAL servers could get IPs from this DHCP server. However, DHCP requests from Oracle VMs was not able to reach the DHCP server. So I suspect this is a VM-specific issue.
If I type in "dhcp net0" on gPXE prompt on the OVS machine(sappire), I can see the requests were being sent from the OVS server (sapphire):
gPXE> dhcp net0
DHCP (net0 00:21:f6:00:00:00) .............................................Connection time out (0x4c106035)
Could not configure net0: Connection time out (0x4c106035)
gPXE>

But if I snoop the same on the RHEL6.4 server running DHCP server and OVM, no request can be seen:

Hi,
- Do you install Oracle VM Server (OVS) on an emulated environment like Oracle VM VirtualBox ? if yes so you can't do it.
- Don't forget to configure the Virtual Machines Network and also to add this network to this Virtual Machine.
I hope this can help you
Best Regards

Oracle Instant Client was a "feature" introduced with Oracle 10g. There is no 9i version.
Code that links with Oracle 9i libraries should be able to be linked with Instant Client 10gR2.
The resulting application will be able to connect to databases from Oracle 8.1 onwards.

Tload for Solaris X86

I have a sun Storedge L9 hooked up to a Solaris X86 system and need to update the firmware and moving the loader to a sparc systems isn't feasible at the moment. Is there a Solaris X86 version of tload available
i.e. I want to apply the firmware updates in 112141-03, using Solaris X86
Thanks for any help.

Nevermind i found one in a newer patch for a different drive.

Ndd in Solaris x86

Hi I need to know How can I see parametes list of networks interfaces in Solaris x86, I can't use the utility ndd for the network interface, I am working in a V65x and the NIC is e1000g.
Thanks

kstat e1000g:0 might work, but I'm not 100% if kstat
statistics are supported by the e1000g driver. And if they are available,
I'm not sure if they are accurate.
kstat should list the interface speed, and the duplex setting.

Use Linux server NAT gateway for Windows domain?

Well, I'm kinda new to this...
I don't have a hardware router appliance, and I am short on Windows licences, so I figured that a Linux box would make a cheap NAT router (and firewall). I remembered that Linux generally can supply DNS & DHCP out of the box - but come to think of it, they are both optional.
I didn't stop to think that the DHCP could be on the windows domain controller, but I guess it would make excellent sense to keep AD & DNS & DHCP all together on one DC... the linux box would just become a 'router appliance', nothing more.
The second DC just DNS and AD, no DHCP - and both of them ( andall clients) pointing to the inside IP of the Linux box as the gateway.
Thanks very much for all the suggestions, I think I'm on track now :-)

We're short on machines and I want to set up a lab network.
I have a 2008R2 and a 2008Standard that I want to use as domain controllers (R2 as 'primary', so to speak).
I understand its bad practice to make DC's multi-homed, but need to set up an internet gateway to my lab network - and I was wondering if it's possible to use a handy Linux box (Centos 6) as the NAT gateway & DHCP. (Using the Linux box as an Internet gateway for my Windows domain)
Has anybody ever done this successfully? I guess the trick would be getting DNS updates passed to the Windows NS from the Linux DHCP server??

Does Form6i/Report6i support Solaris x86?

There is only Form6i and Report6i for SunSparc and no Solaris version for x86.
Have anybody tried to install the Linux version of Form6i or Report6i in a machine running Solaris X86? And what is the key to install it successfully?

I'm sure that Oracle8i server supports Solaris Intel Platform and Oracle9i doesn't support Solaris Intel Platform at this moment as I know.

Can Solaris Os System use as a server edition

Hai guys i am new to solaris system, and my company selected solaris system as our server edition....
Can any one enplane me the solaris OS system could we use as a server edition ?

You could run a Mac Pro using OS X Server. This would allow you to provided services to your small office network, and still use the Mac Pro as your desktop machine.
However, depending on what you are actually intending to use the server for, you may be better off with an older Mac to use for your server. Simple AFP and Windows file services are easily handled by just about any Mac, with the older Quicksilvers through the G5's being good choices for use as servers.
Having a dedicated server, instead of one sharing use as a desktop, means a more stable server for everyone else to use. It also will allow for a more consistent backup and archiving, then a dual role machine will usually be used for.
However, if you do not have the funds to repurpose an older machine, or buy a new machine for your server, then sharing a desktop with a small office group is indeed doable.
As for running Autocad and the server os at the same time, the answer is probably no. The reason is the bootcamp based Windows XP is a one or the other proposition, you are either running WIndows XP or OS X but not both.
On the other hand, if you use virtualization software, such as Parallel you can run both OS X and XP at the same time, however, current released versions of Parallel have limited graphic acceleration and 3D support. Newer beta versions of Parallel are starting to include better graphics support, including 3D. So the question is if AutoCad will run reasonably well under Parallel or not. I think the answer will depend on how you use AutoCad. If you use it mostly for 2D drawings, then it will probably run fine. If you use 3D rendering, you may need, at least for the time being, need to use Bootcamp to run Windows XP natively and get full graphics support.
