Jacky,
Automated Installer needs either DNS information or HTTP proxy
specified in the AI manifest to complete the installation of
OpenSolaris. Do you have the DNS information for your network? You can
add the DNS information to your DHCP server. I am attaching the macro
information from a working server.
# dhtadm -P
Name Type Value
==================================================
0100144F229050 Macro
:Include=osol-dhcp:BootSrvA=10.6.68.21:BootFile="http://10.6.68.21:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi":Rootpath="http://10.6.68.21:5555/export/home/images/ai_111a_6616_7683_sparc":
10.6.68.0 Macro
:Include=osol-dhcp:Subnet=255.255.255.0:Router=10.6.68.1:Broadcst=10.6.68.255:
osol-dhcp Macro
:Timeserv=10.6.68.47:LeaseTim=604800:LeaseNeg:DNSdmain="sfbay.sun.com":DNSserv=129.145.155.220
129.145.154.118 129.147.9.5:Include=Locale:
The server macro 'osol-dhcp' (in your case it is qube) has the DHCP
information. The client macro 0100144F229050 (in your case
dhcp_macro_0906sparc) included the server macro and the client get the
DNS information when it gets an offer from DHCP server.
If you don't have DNS information, check the documentation at
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/AIinstall/customai.html#ieproxy
for adding HTTP proxy to your manifest. Also look at "How to Replace
the Default AI Manifest" at
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/AIinstall/customai.html
Thanks,
Sundar
