From: adirtymindisajoyforever on 26 Mar 2010 09:15 hi, I am a newbie to jumpstart. I installed JET, configured a client and executed make_client successfully. As a result /tftpboot contains a link 0AA0.... to the bootfile. When I execute boot net - install, the client gets the correct ip address from my jumpstartserver but then requests a wrong filename to be tftp-ed. A few questions: - what is the relation between the linkname in /tftpboot - where does the client get the filename from? thanks in advance for all help.

The client requests a filename using the hex value of its IP address. For example, if the client has the IP address 192.168.2.1, it will request an filename with "C0A80201". Since your link starts with "0AA0", I'm guessing your netblock starts with 10.160, correct? > When I execute boot net - install, the client gets the correct > ip address from my jumpstartserver but then requests a wrong > filename to be tftp-ed.

I deleted all the files in /tftpboot and ran make_client again. Now I have the correct filenames, but -i would say- up to the next problem. A trace on the jumpstartserver shows it gets the tftp request, opens the file and sends the first 512 bytes to the client machine. Although I see 4 retransmissions with a timeout of 5 seconds each, the client immediately displays the messages: TFTP error: file not found? Is there a way to get some tracing out of the boot net - install ? BTW: JSserver = solaris 10 running op V490; client = V215 # file /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1 /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, statically linked, stripped #
