It should be set to following string http://<ip_address_of_your_ai_server>:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi e.g. (assuming that 192.168.100.10 is address of your AI server) http://192.168.100.10:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi As and example, on Sun DHCP server, you would run # dhtadm -g -A -m 01<client_mac_address> -d ":BootFile=\"http://192.168.100.10:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi\":"; You also need to make sure that network configuration is provided to your AI client: - addresses of DNS servers (so that AI client can access IPS repositories) - subnet, router, broadcast, ... I assume those are already configured, since they are also needed by non-Solaris clients served by the same DHCP server.
