"Howto configure interfaces of boot and install server"

After a sucessfull install of the JET server, the OSP plug-in docs state the following:

Troubleshooting:

If your OS provisioning server is located on the same physical host as the boot and install server, you

must configure the interfaces on the system before you provision any target hosts. The OS

provisioning server does not automatically configure the interfaces of the boot and install server.

I am assuming "configuring the interfaces" means telling JET which network interface to place the bootp service on?

from /opt/SUNWjet/etc/server_interfaces:

...

# Format:

#

# <client network> <client mask> <our preferred ip address>

#

# Example:

#

...

# 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.010.0.0.1

So I want to make sure that bootp is on the provisioning network, and JET is as well?

Hi,

First you need to configure your network interface normally with ifconfig....

If you want to use only one interface than your work is finished and you do not tell jet anything.

If you want to use "multihome" jet server with many (tagged) interfaces you have to tell jet over which interface the client must be installed. Jet looks in the server_interfaces file and makes the correct configuration into /etc/bootsparams !

Please noted that you need to restart your rarp daemon

ps -ef | grep rarp shows:

/usr/sbin/in.rarpd -a

kill and restart this process if you add and interface dynamically.

Also test if you filesystems are shared correctly "over" all configured ips an the jet server. Perhaps you must restart nfs server... (test with dfshares <jet-server-ip>)

hope it helps...
