sysidcfg DNS setting and Solaris installation
Hi all,
I am trying to carry out an unattended installation of solaris 11/06 on a sparc machine. If I use the operand
name_service=none
inside the sysidcfg file, everything goes fine and I can indeed do the install without any interaction whatsoever. But when I try to use something like:
name_service=DNS
{domain_name=mydomain.edu
name_server=1.2.3.4
search=mydomain.edu}
it encounters some kind of error talking to the DNS server and it sends me to an interactive screen saying that
"Unable to find an address entry with the specified DNS configuration"
Although at first it seems that typically the DNS was not setup correctly, by sniffing at the DNS server's side I can see that a standard A query is arriving from the host and that it gets a correct ordinary A record as a response. But the host keeps retrying for several time nonetheless. I am fairly confident that the host actually receives the response (no acls or whatever), so something else must be causing the trouble.
Does anyone have any suspicion of what is going on?
Best Regards,
Athanasios
