Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or an enhancement request..

For x86 machines, whenever we add a new client it'll create specific 
entries on /tftpboot for that client based in its mac address. We use 
this in our environment to have fixed DHCP entries.

However, we can't do that for sparc machines at the moment since no 
specific entries are created in 
http://$SERVER_IP:555/var/ai/image-server/images/$IMAGE-CONTAINER


We workarounded this by adding a link to the AI folder with the mac 
address of our client so we can have this feature on sparc machines. 
I'll explain it better with an example:

- installadm create-service -n snv_106_sparc -s $ISO 
/export/macroroot/snv_106_sparc/
- installadm create-client -n snv_106_sparc -e $MAC -t 
/export/macroroot/snv_106_sparc/
- ln -s /export/macroroot/snv_106_sparc/ 
/var/ai/image-server/images/export/macroroot/$MAC

Now we can set our DHCP server with the following entries:

-> BootSrvA: $SERVER_IP
-> BootFile: http://$SERVER_IP:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi
-> Rootpath: http://$SERVER_IP:5555/export/microroot/$MAC


Which will be a fixed entry given that the link above would be 
maintained by create-client and delete-client.


Is this issue already known or discussed?
David
