Hi,
I have installed a Solaris 10 jumpstart server on a Sun Blade.
../setup_install_server /jumstart (yes a missing p)

../add_install_client -i 192.168.15.40 -e xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -s
192.168.15.42:/jumstart -p 192.168.15.42:/jumstart arthur sun4u

and try to boot the client:

boot net -v
Internet address is: 192.168.15.40
hostname arthur
Found 192.168.15.42 @ xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
root server : edward (192.168.15.42)
root directory:/jumstart/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
cannot open neither boot_archive nor miniroot

Not quite sure how to investigate this error?

all looks OK?

-bash-3.00$ grep arthur bootparams
arthur root=edward:/jumstart/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot
install=192.168.15.42:/jumst
art/ boottype=:in sysid_config=192.168.15.42:/jumstart/
rootopts=:rsize=8192

Please help if you can!

Syd

A typically useless Unix error message. A friendlier O/S would say WHY!
Probable reasons:
a. file does not exist
b. file not on your path
c. you lack the rights to open the file: check ownership and protection.

Good luck and welcome to the wonderful world of Unix.

Do you have TFTP enabled on your jumpstart server? Do you have the miniroot
available via TFTP?

It might be worthwhile to snoop the tftp port and see what's being asked
for.

Thanks for suggestions!

-bash-3.00$ pwd

usr_sbin_install_d.cpio.bz2

did a snoop on all the traffic to/from boot start server and it looks
to me as though nfs is being attempted:

0060 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00
00 ........ ........

Tools
0090 2f 42 6f 6f 74 00 /
Boot.

However I think tftp is enabled

bash-3.00# ./add_install_client -i 192.168.15.43 -e xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -s
192.168.15.42:/jumstart -p 192.168.15.42:/jumstart henry sun4u
making /tftpboot
updating /etc/bootparams
copying boot file to /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1
bash-3.00# ls -l /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 221544 Mar 24 22:37 /tftpboot/
inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1

More suggestions welcome!

Except that you haven't booted any OS yet so we have a few bytes
availabe in the netboot image.

Don't try to answer questions which are clearly out of your depth.
