Issue with jumpstart install
I've followed a few guides and have what appears to be a working jumpstart server. I can PXE boot a bare system, it gets an IP and launches the installer. However, it takes me to the screen:
Code:
SunOS Release 5.10 Version generic-147148-26 64 bit What am I missing? |
mm actually telling that what your keyboard is?

Would you consider this a friendly/constructive response (especially considering the OP explicitly stated they are attempting to use JumpStart)? --jeremy |

if a piece of software request input I'd highly suggest trying to give that software the input it is asking for no matter what. then if it fails start asking questions. Not before hand. Just googled it and the doc file states this Code:
[DOC]Jumpstart Procedure for Solaris 10 Version 0708-V01 - Cisco |
Putting aside that you seem to be misunderstanding what JumpStart is supposed to accomplish, you've been a member long enough to know that LQ participation should be friendly and constructive.

In this one here
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/pdf/E28037.pdf which is showing something on setting up the keyboard, Logic states if it is asking for the keyboard layout then it must be needing to know what it is. in the google results it shows this Code:
When the Oracle Solaris or the JumpStart, a feature of Oracle ..... If the keyboard is self-identifying, where was I not being constructive? questing anthers logic is not destructive. I even gave a simple example of simple logic |

Is there a 'check' for sysidcfg, kinda like how 'check' evaluates the rules? Some way for me to validate that mine is valid? I can mount the NFS share from another host and read the file, so I doubt it's corrupt. It may be missing something important, or maybe for some reason the root image isn't pointing at the right export? Any other tool I can use to help troubleshoot? Is there a way to get to a console and shell with Solaris like with Red Hat? |
For the next poor sod who runs into a jumpstart problem... the answer turned out to be:
Code:
auto_reg=none { |
If you're using it on non-Sun hardware then it probably can't self-configure itself, hence your problem.
