Sysidcfg file for unattended installation with proper IP addressing
Hi,
I've been running jumpstart installation for several Sunfire V210 and V280Rs. I did use the following sysidcfg file but it's complaining regarding NOT finding Jumpstart Directory and subsequently fails to comply with rules file. Though the ./check verification did gave me a okay signal but the [I guess] ip addressing/subnet mask scheme is causing trouble. I'm in the same subnet. I happened to google a lot on this, almost everyone had problem with ip addresssing and subnet mask. With this current sysidcfg, the system prompted for default route, for once!
Can someone please share a working sysidcfg file for an unattended installation?
# my current sysidcfg file
system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Central
terminal=sun-cmd
timeserver=localhost
root_password=test
network_interface=bge0{netmask=255.255.0.0
protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=none
name_service=none
Initially I was using following directive; it couldn't find the jumpstart directory. I even tried removing "default_route", didn't help much.
network_interface=bge0 {hostname=test1
default_route=10.1.1.253
ip_address=10.1.1.1
netmask=255.255.0.0
protocol_ipv6=no}
Here is my log ...

After that all worked fine.
In case should you need to see my /etc/bootparam file, here it is ..
# /etc/bootparam
test.testserv.org root=blade150:/opt/jumpstart/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot install=blade150:/opt/jumpstart boottype=:in sysid_config=blade150:/opt/jumpstart install_config=blade150:/opt/jumpstart rootopts=:rsize=32768
Can you please highlight what went wrong?
TIA
