Solaris 8 Jumpstart Rollout

I am upgrading an existing solaris 2.6 / 2.7 system to solaris 8. I was wondering if anyone has any pointers or advice on where to start, as I have not used or built a jumpstart server before. We have 10*Ultra60 workstations and 1*Sun Enterprise 250 Server. We are looking to completely "Nuke" the existing operating systems as I am told you cannot upgrade 2.6 to 8.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Regards TP

Jumpstart is a very cool tool. I recently set one up and am using it to create multiple web server configs at this time. With using hte sysidcfg file(s) you can pretty much automate the entire install ( with your own tars, pkgs etc... ! )
There are 3 basic documents that are very good to read up on to install the JASS server and setup Clients from the thing
LINKS :
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0401/BuildInf.pdf
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0601/jass_conf_install-v03.pdf
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0601/jass_internals-v03.pdf
and there are more updates to these docs in the Sun blueprint section, you can pretty much follow em through to set up the Jumpstart server and then go configure clients etc...

Hi,
We have just got that problem. I know your post was posted May 2005 and that it is now March 2006, but since your post was the only reference I found on the net with the exact same problem, and since I was disappointed not to find any reply to it, I here report the solution in case others end up to the same place.
I posted the problem on the Sun-Managers mailing-list and Casper Dik from Sun Microsystems rapidly found the problem asking us to check if we were not accidentily running a Solaris 10 miniroot installing a Solaris 9 software tree. This was indeed the case because of a typo in the bootparams file that we copied/edited but hand but forgot to turn a 9 into a 10 and ended up with that weird behaviour. Once the typo was corrected the jumpstart worked all the way successfully.

Solaris 9 Jumpstart Failure

Greetings.
I am in the process of changing a system over to Solaris 9 (9/04) from Solaris 8 (we cannot move to Solaris 10 due to ClearCase incompatiblities).
We use flash archives in our jumpstart process. The master system is created using a very Spartin profile (SUNWCreq with a number of other required packages). There are also a number of additional tweaks made to the master system to stop unrequired services, deamons, etc. The only additional patches installed are the Java cluster patches.
I have been able to successfully jumpstart the jumpstart server host from CD. However any attempts to jumpstart other clients using the jumpstart server have failed. I suspect that it is related to the inability to copy the sysidcfg file during the jumpstart process.
The address for the jumpstart server is 10.1.1.1; the hostname is n1; the MAC address is 0:3:ba:35:80:88
The address for the jumpstart client is 10.1.1.34; the hostname is n34; the MAC address is 0:3:ba:14:c6.
On the jumpstart server some of the relevant files are included below.
/etc/bootparams:
n34 root=n1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_9_2004-09/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot install=n1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_9_2004-09 boottype=:in sysid_config=n1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg install_config=n1:/jumpstart rootopts=:rsize=32768

The IP address conflict is with the jumpstart server. The address for the jumpstart server is 10.1.1.1. The warning message is generated for a number of minutes after it starts. I figure that it is caused by the inability to copy the sysidcfg file.
This same system can be installed successfully using a Solaris 8 jumpstart configuration.
Note that the client system is currently installed with Solaris 8.
I did use the command "boot net -v - install" from the OK prompt, but no additional information was provided relating to when the sysidcfg file could not be copied.
If anyone has any ideas about what could be causing this problem or has any information about additional debugging which could be used to figure out this issue, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Jason.

Ideas.. Hmm, none which seems that correct, but you could try some things.
If it gets the wrong IP that could explain why it fails to copy the sysidcfg file.
First you could try and do a snoop on the ethernet address;
snoop ether 0:3:ba:14:c6:cd
(you could also try the -v flag to increase the verbosity).
The things you should look for are arp/rarp requests, the jumpstart client will use arp/rarp to determine its IP address, snoop will show you which server that responds, and what address it gets, futher more its a good idea to verify that the response to the bootparams requests comes from the correct server.
Of course there might be other oddnesses as well.
Was the data you provided extracts? If it was you should check the /etc/ethers and /etc/bootparams for duplicates entries, so there are no other occourances of the clients ehternet address in /etc/ethers, and no bogus entries starting with * or the same hostname in /etc/bootparams.
If you added the client manually you could always try and use the Tools/rm_install_client and Tools/add_install_client scripts to add it again, these script sometimes detect problems with the configuration.
Lastly you didn't show us your /etc/nsswitch.conf file, but i assume that it has "files" first for the ethers, hosts and bootparams entries?
Good luck

How To Set Terminal Type in Solaris 10 Jumpstart?

Hi all,
I'm installing Solaris 10 via jumpstart, and I'd like to set the terminal type for the console to be vt100 by default.
I've tried setting the terminal type to vt100 in sysidcfg, with a line:
terminal=vt100
but this has no effect (and never has done).
In previous versions I just modified /etc/inittab from the finish script, but that's not relevant any more.
I know that I can set the terminal type after login with:
/usr/sbin/svccfg -s system/console-login 'setprop ttymon/terminal_type = vt100'
but I can't do this until the system has booted for the first time.
I've tried putting various bits of XML into /var/svc, but I'm now at the point where I'm just guessing - does anyone know the right way to do this, or can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

As far as I know, your approach is correct. If you don't want
> to modify the xml file manually, you can use chroot in the finish script.
Using chroot in the finish script does not work, and gives an error:
svccfg: Could not connect to repository server: repository server unavailable.
Modifying xml is fine, but it would be nice to do it in a way that will not get reverted next time I apply a patch cluster, so simply editing /var/svc/manifest/system/console-login.xml would (I think) be out.
Is there a more correct way of overriding the contents of a manifest?
Cheers,
Steve.

Solaris 10 jumpstart for V240 fails

Hello there !
i am trying to jumpstart a v240 machine from a jumpstart
server, which contains the media dump (of solaris 10 sparc)
from a CD . But initially the jumpstart is started the pacakges
are installed properly and the patches are also installed properly
(10 recommended patches) . After that the machine reboots for
the first time and throws an error message as mentioned below

I am successfully able to jumpstart v240 machines with solaris 9.
dont know if anything is missing in media.
Pls let me know ur ideas..

Hello All,
I would love to know if someone has a solution to this as I am seeing a similar issue with a slightly different setup.
Solaris 8 and Netra 240. I get the same result with and without patches and finish scripts. After the jumpstart and the failed boot attempt from disk. I can boot from cd, copy the glm driver from the cd to disk, and then everything works as it should. Obviously this is not a solution but only a work around.
Is it something to do with the SCSI hardware architecture used in the *240s?

Solaris 8 jumpstart on 6800 domains

Hi,
Can any one tell how to install solaris 8 on 6800 domains , i did before jumpstart installations on 480, 480 280 240 from SC controller with boot - net install .
but how do i install on 6800 box , imean how do i configure 6800 domains to install the solaris 8 from jumpstart .
Thanks in advance for the help.

Start here with the documentation for setting up domains.

Solaris 10 Jumpstart error: panic - boot: boot: scratch memory overflow.

I am setting up a Solaris Jumpstart server using a Linux server as the Boot/Config/Install server. The Sun box I am using is a v120 that will be running Solaris 10 update 5.
After running the "boot net - install" command and running through the setup the install terminates with the error
boot: failed to allocate 8192 bytes from scratch memory
panic - boot: boot: scratch memory overflow.
Program terminated
ok
ok
I found a patch (111306-07) that supposedly fixes this problem (logged as bug 4411148). Is there a specific way to add a patch to Jumpstart so that it installs before the system reboots after the main install is done? I know the patches folder goes off of the added on date for the patch and not a patch_order file, does that mean it can just be placed in the folder and will be added automatically? Has anyone seen this error message before on their own systems?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Has anyone seen this error message before on their own systems?Not here. You want to install the patch into the jumpstart boot image. You may also need to install the patch onto the installed OS, but that's less certain.
For the first part, find your jumpstart image and pass that into patchadd with the -C flag to patch the jumpstart portion.

Solaris 10 jumpstart: Client sends ARP with old IP address

Solaris x86 Client machine\s ip has been changed.
But during jumpstart, it sends ARP from its old ip.
Where does it picks this ip from?
how to clear it?

Well a couple of things to try (if not done already) would be:
a) Check out a dhcp server if you have that installed
b) Attempt to identify and dns server etc referencing the old ip.
c) rm_install_client and add_install_client ... though this is obviously disruptive.
Look down the add_install_client man page for clues ... http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/819-2240/add-install-client-1m/index.html ( i haven't checked if this is the latest).

Solaris 10 JumpStart server doesn't works correctly with Solaris Express

Hi All,
I have configured the JumpStart server on Solaris 10.
I install Solaris 10 and Solaris 9 also using flash installation.
When I run installation installer ask me 2 or 3 questions (I don't exactly remember) about NFS and then it install automatically.
Does anybody know how to avoid these few questions at the beginning of installation?
Thanks,
Daniel

The first question is:
�� 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...
- The mouse cannot be used
- If your keyboard does not have function keys, or they do not
respond, press ESC; the legend at the bottom of the screen
will change to show the ESC keys to use for navigation.
��
F2_Continue F6_Help
Then I select to Continue:
�� Identify This System ��
On the next screens, you must identify this system as networked or
non-networked, and set the default time zone and date/time.
If this system is networked, the software will try to find the information
it needs to identify your system; you will be prompted to supply any
information it cannot find.
> To begin identifying this system, press F2.
��
Esc-2_Continue Esc-6_Help
Then I select to continue:
�� NFSv4 Domain Name ��
NFS version 4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the system's naming services. The derived domain name is sufficient for most configurations. In a few cases, mounts that cross domain boundaries might cause files to appear to be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common domain name.
The current NFSv4 default domain is: ""
NFSv4 Domain Configuration
�� [X] Use the NFSv4 domain derived by the system
[ ] Specify a different NFSv4 domain
��
Esc-2_Continue Esc-6_Help
I select continue:
�� Confirm Information for NFSv4 Domain ��
> Confirm the following information. If it is correct, press F2;
to change any information, press F4.
NFSv4 Domain Name: << Value to be derived dynamically >>
��
Esc-2_Continue Esc-4_Change Esc-6_Help
Again I select continue and then the Solaris Express installs automatically.

Solaris 8 Jumpstart error message

I'm trying to run a Jumpstart installation of Solaris 8 on a 220r and I keep getting the following errors:
Customizing system files
� Mount points table (/etc/vfstab)
ERROR: Could not open file (/a/etc/vfstab)
ERROR: Could not create the file system mount table (/etc/vfstab)

Any ideas?

Just a quick check, is your jumpstart directory shared? Check the /etc/dfs/dfstab it should contain an entry similar to share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /jumpstart

Install solaris via jumpstart with 2 network interfaces

Hi guys,
I'm trying to deploy Solaris 10 on a LDOM , using Jumpstart server. The LDOM must have 2 network interfaces and 2 default routes. Here's the relevant part of sysidcfg file:
network_interface=vnet0 {primary
                hostname=aaaaaaaaa
                ip_address=aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa

                protocol_ipv6=no
                default_route=bbb.bbb.bbb.bbb
network_interface=vnet1 {

                netmask=255.255.248.0
                protocol_ipv6=no
                default_route=ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd
}After {ok} boot net - install, I get these messages:

Many thanks,
kido
Edited by: kido on Dec 29, 2010 6:10 PM

Hello again,
First of all, if I delete the second default route from sysidcfg, the installation performs uninterrupted, but vnet1 is not brought up after reboot. I get a message like: vnet1 is not a valid interface name...or something similar...
Regarding multiple default routes now... As long as "man defaultrouter" and "man sysidcfg" state that multiple routes are supported, I would expect this to work...or at least I need a way of installing 2 NICs without human intervention...
I will try to use some post install script instead ( will create /etc/hostname.vnet1 and add second route to /etc/defaultrouter) and will let you know the results.

Solaris X86 Jumpstart slow

I'm trying to jumpstart a Sun x4240 and during the boot up when it runs the install-discovery script, the server goes very very slow. It will eventually move past this part, but only after many hours. The server has 4 disks, which I have setup on the raid controller as JBOD's, we are not using the RAID functions of the card at all.
It seems the longest time is taken when running the the the script /boot/solaris/bin/create_diskmap, which is mostly this:
/sbin/biosdev 2> /dev/null | while read diskno diskpath
do
devname=`/bin/ls -l /dev/rdsk/*p0 | /bin/grep $diskpath | /bin/nawk '{ print $9 }'`
ctdname=`echo $devname | /bin/sed "s#/dev/rdsk/##" | /bin/sed "s#p0##"`
grubdisk=`echo $diskno | /bin/sed "s/0x8//"`
echo "$grubdisk $ctdname $diskpath" >> "$GRUBDISKMAP"
done
Then once it gets past this part (many hours) it hangs again around this part:
# x86 config cleanup logic
if [ -x /usr/sbin/install.d/atconfig ]; then
/usr/sbin/install.d/atconfig
fi
Atconfig is described thusly:
Besides ON changes there are changes needed in the
Install consolidation. When you boot the Solaris CD/DVD,
the atconfig binary is run that searches the disk for
kernel/misc/sysinit file and copies this to
/tmp/root/kernel/misc/sysinit so the
svc_serial.c code from Suninstall can try to preserve the
hostid during an upgrade and even an install. We need
to modify this code to also search for /etc/hostid and preserve
it. However, for older systems we also need to search for
kernel/misc/sysinit for those systems that have hostid stored
there, and convert the hostid in sysinit into a hostid in /etc/hostid.
There was no contract between ON and Install for sysinit;
we now have a contract in place between the two consolidations
for Install's use of /kernel/misc/sysinit and /etc/hostid.
The server installs fine during a normal DVD install. I'm not sure what else to do on this. If anyone has any guidance that would be great.

Yes... I've seen and used the grub -b switches for input-device and output-device and this does change the way certain things work. However, this does not redirect input and output solely to the console, as you would, lets say, any sparc box. I start a jumpstat process, tell it to go to the console, and it hangs and waits for input from the VGA device. Right now, I have an odd interaction going on between the ILOM webgui redirection and the console. I can't login through the webgui and reboot the box through the console, nor can I hit CTRL+N to get it to boot off the network when I have the ILOM Webgui redirected to my keyboard. But when it boots off the virtual CD, or if I use the console to get into the BIOS, then and only then can I use my keyboard in the ILOM Webgui.
There is some sort of odd interaction between the console and that stupid VGA port on the ILOM that is not explained in ILOM docs that I have read. And that is what this post is trying to figure out. When you jumpstart a sparc box, you have total control from the console. This is not the case on x86.
Please re-read my other post before you comment on double posting. Both are about x86 jumpstart. One is about console redirection (this post). The other post is asking about getting jumpstart NOT to go through an interactive install through the -b switches. Two separate issues.

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.

Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart TFTP error not defined!!!!

I have a solaris 10 jumpstart sparc that does all x86 installs. Until now it has been working fine. I now have to jumpstart two new clients a sun X4200 and an X2100. However I cannot get past the loading of the miniroot. It finds the menu.lst.MACRONAME ok, I see the Solaris 10 jumpstart title and then all I see is a number of dots appearing on the client screen and then nothing.
From the snoop I only get TFTP Error: Not Defined. I have logged a call with Sun but no luck there as yet! Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Yes, the current x86 miniroot from sol 10 06/06 does not contain all the necessary drivers for the X2100 which is an amd64. So it is either unpacking the miniroot and repacking it with the appropriate drivers that are contained in the SUNWnge package or do the manual install and then add them from the supplementary cd that contains these specific drivers. SUN has recorded the incident and they will fix it with the next releases I have been told.
