We have set up jumpstart and it worked yesterday after being in the
data centre all night :-( but today stopped working. Sol 10 01/06. We
noticed that the jumpstart client booted only when we changed the
lease in the pntadm database which was really strange. The lease
previously said 'zero'. So I think this has something to do with it.
Using e1000g cards.


Here is what the dhcp server keeps saying. Our server is 172.30.6.210,
client
is 172.30.6.209.

45dda8e3: Datagram received on network device: e1000g3(limited
broadcast)
45dda8e3: Client: 0100144F40D8A3 has DYNAMIC 172.30.6.209 owned by
server: 172.30.6.210.


Here is the output of dhtadm -P

Is DHCP not handing out the address or, is it seeing the address already
in use ?

what does dhcpd -dvvv show ?

We found out the problem is because we used a seperate interface and
hostname to do jumpstart, it does not offer the dhcp address to the
client 'unless' it is owned in pntadm by the ip actual ip address of
the server. So changing the server ip to the actual server ip which
corresponds to the host/nodename ip fixed it - why I dont know.
However I have a feeling this is related to x4200's, yes I know it
doesnt make sense, but I havent seen it happen on previous
installations on different hardware.

The same problem is here which was co-incidentally on a similar
platform

Again , JET , JumpStart Enterprise Toolikit available at
http://www.sun.com/downloads is able to handle this via the
server_interfaces file. And would have saved you a lot of headaches
