jumpstart not finishing install
Hi,
I'm in the process of installing a jumpstart server using Solaris 10.
It's a bit unique because rather than installing Solaris on the system,
it is supposed to go directly to a post script that restores the
partitions from a backup (Just including for background).
Currently, after doing the "boot net - install" everything goes fine up
until the install begins. The syidcfg file is found and the settings
are used. After determininng locale and setting up the system. Then,
the install begins and I get the following error message:
System Identification is completed.
Starting Solaris installation program...
Searching for JumpStart directory...
not found
Warning: Could not find matching rule in rules.ok
Press the return key for an interactive install program...
I don't understand how the sysidcfg file is found earlier (which is in
a dir in the jumpstart dir) but the install part fails at this part.
Another item to note is that i can hand mount via nfs the jumpstart
dir. It doesn't appear to be a permissioning error. I have searched
everywhere. Please help!!!
The details:
client: Ultra10
jumpstart dir: /jumpstart
sysidcfg file: /jumpstart/config/clientname/sysidcfg
there is an entry in /etc/hosts for the client
Here are the contents of files and command outputs:
-
