my sysidcfg for jumpstart is not being read
Before I begin describing my issue, I just want to thank you for taking the time to view this e-mail. I was wondering if you could take a look at the situation that I am facing. I am almost dealing with production environment and, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have.
Jumpstart server name: uws01
jumpstart client name: appl02
location of my sysidcfg: /usr/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/appl02
content of my sysidcfg:
name_service=none
network_interface=primary {hostname=appl02 ip_address=10.198.8.76 netmask=255.255.255.192 protocol_ipv6=no default_route=10.198.8.67}
root-password=jqgRSaa.lU9II
security_policy=none
system_locale=en_US.ISO8859-15
terminal=vt100
timezone=GMT0
timeserver=localhost
rules file for appl02:
hostname appl02-Profiles/profile_flar_app02Finish/finish_all
/etc/hosts for appl02: 10.198.8.76 appl02
/etc/ethers for appl02: 00:03:ba:fa:1:b9appl02
and lastly for the sake of space I have skipped to list the content of my profile files but, the path to my profile file is set as /jumpstart/Profiles/profile_flar_appl02
I am using flar files as you can see to install my application server. Here is the command I am using successfully on my jumpstart server (uws01) to add the client (appl02)
/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_9_2004-04/Solaris_9/Tools/add_install_client -s \
> uws01:/usr/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_9_2004-04 -c uws01:/usr/jumpstart \
> -p uws01:/usr/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/appl02 appl02 sun4u
I run check and get no errors
The problem is, when I go to my client appl02 and run "boot net - install" at the OK>, it will go into the interactive mode and does not read my sysidcfg file. Following is last part of my print screen when the boot process goes into interactive

The irony is that when I change my sysidcfg directory from /jumpstart/Sysidcfg/appl02 to /jumpstart/Sysidcfg/app02, and leave everything else the same it will read the sysidcfg. The problem with that is, since I am using a finish script it will not execute some of my cp command I have in finish script due to using SI_HOSTNAME parameter. It will say can not do the copy command and, is looking for /jumpstart/Sysidcfg/appl02.
Again, if you could shed some light on this issue I am facing is much appreciated. I should mention that I have set up many servers with this setup and had no problem.
