Cannot install OS from JumpStart
Does anybody has problem with using JumpStart to install Solaris on guest domain? Here is as far as I can get.
{0} ok boot vnet1 - install
Boot device: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/network@0 File and args: - install

The JumpStart server is setup at the Control Domain with its LDOM virtual switch up. The IP of the virtual switch is 172.16.200.100. The physical network port for the virtual switch is e1000g0, IP 172.16.200.252. Both IP are pingable from external network.
Any idea?

Hi,I had the same problem on one of our T1000s.The solution in my case was to apply patch 124921-02, which I wasn't aware of....Hope it solves your problem...Regards,DanielMessage was edited by: Daniel_K

The patch was installed right after Solaris but before the LDOM manager and Solaris Security Toolkit. Is there any case that the security toolkit cause the problem?
Another observation is the message during boot time. /usr/sbin/in.rarpd [427]: /dev/vsw: No such file or directory.
Does that mean the RARP is not compatible with the LDOM vsw0 switch?
Where should i place the JumpStart server? Can it be in the Control Domain?
Is there any other method to install OS to guest domain other than JumpStart?
Thank you.

I had the same problem. My jumpstart server on the control domain. I had to link the device
lrwxrwxrwx1 rootroot 27 Jun 19 21:36 /dev/vsw -> /devices/pseudo/clone@0:vsw
lrwxrwxrwx1 rootroot 78 Jun 19 21:39 /dev/vsw0 -> /devices/virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/virtual-network-switch@0:vsw0
svcadm restart /network/rarp
... and it worked for me at least. Hope this helps.
