I made some cleaning in my AI server and then another issue came up. Particularly because I cleand the /tftpboot folder:
# installadm create-service -n snv_107_x86_2 -s /export/images/x86/osol-0906-107-ai-x86.iso /export/microroot/snv_107_x86/ Setting up the target image at /export/microroot/snv_107_x86/ ... ln: target `/var/ai/image-server/images//export/microroot/snv_107_x86/' is not a directory: No such file or directory Registering the service snv_107_x86_2._OSInstall._tcp.local Could not retrieve DHCP information from dhcp server Please create a DHCP macro named dhcp_macro_snv_107_x86_2 with: Boot server IP (BootSrvA) : 129.156.229.201 Boot file (BootFile) : snv_107_x86_2 GRUB Menu (GrubMenu) : menu.lst.snv_107_x86_2 Additionally, if the site specific symbol GrubMenu is not present, please add it as follows: /usr/sbin/dhtadm -g -A -s GrubMenu -d Site,150,ASCII,1,0 Failed to assign DHCP macro to IP address. Please assign manually. umount: warning: /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 not in mnttab umount: /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 no such file or directory mount: Mount point /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 does not exist. copying boot file to /tftpboot/pxegrub.I86PC.OpenSolaris-1 So I created the correct link for the first error, and regarding the second: why does it try to mount/umount /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5? Shouldn't installadm check if those directories exist? More important, shouldn't they actually exist given that they were related to previous (and removed) services? From a previous log: #mount | grep OpenSol /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-1 on /export/microroot/snv_106_x86/boot read only/setuid/devices/dev=2d90010 on Fri Feb 27 15:10:11 2009 /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-2 on /export/macroroot/snv_106_x86//boot read only/setuid/devices/dev=2d90010 on Mon Mar 2 10:51:29 2009 /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-3 on /export/microroot/snv_106_x86//boot read only/setuid/devices/dev=2d90010 on Mon Mar 2 12:56:13 2009 /IPS on install/work read/write/setuid/devices/nonbmand/exec/xattr/atime/dev=2d9001d on Wed Mar 4 14:48:05 2009 /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-4 on /var/ai/image-server/images/server/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai/boot read only/setuid/devices/dev=2d90010 on Wed Mar 4 15:25:54 2009 /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 on /export/microroot/snv_107_x86//boot read only/setuid/devices/dev=2d90010 on Wed Mar 4 15:27:05 2009 Note those services were deleted before I ran the mount command. At this point installadm complains about /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 not being so I'll create the folder: # mkdir /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 # installadm create-service -n snv_107_x86 -s /export/images/x86/osol-0906-107-ai-x86.iso /export/microroot/snv_107_x86/Setting up the target image at /export/microroot/snv_107_x86/ ... ln: target `/var/ai/image-server/images//export/microroot/snv_107_x86/' is not a directory: No such file or directory Registering the service snv_107_x86._OSInstall._tcp.local Could not retrieve DHCP information from dhcp server Please create a DHCP macro named dhcp_macro_snv_107_x86 with: Boot server IP (BootSrvA) : 129.156.229.201 Boot file (BootFile) : snv_107_x86 GRUB Menu (GrubMenu) : menu.lst.snv_107_x86 Additionally, if the site specific symbol GrubMenu is not present, please add it as follows: /usr/sbin/dhtadm -g -A -s GrubMenu -d Site,150,ASCII,1,0 Failed to assign DHCP macro to IP address. Please assign manually. umount: warning: /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 not in mnttab umount: /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-5 not mounted mount: /var/ai/image-server/images/server/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai//boot: No such file or directory Now it'll try to mount a directory used in another service. If we check again the mount points I previously had: /tftpboot/I86PC.OpenSolaris-4 on /var/ai/image-server/images/server/images/osol-0811-rc2-ai/boot read only/setuid/devices/dev=2d90010 on Wed Mar 4 15:25:54 2009 Something looks meesed up here, not sure if it's my system? Anyway I think installadm shouldn't rely on the content in /tftpboot in order to create a new service. Also I think installadm should delete/umount those folders when I removed the related services. Thanks, David
