Hopefully a quick question:
Can I use rarp/tftp to start AI from the network for SPARC or is it DHCP
/ Wanboot only?
I suspect the answer is wanboot only for network boots (having spent 30
mins searching the Project Caiman part of opensolaris.org) but would
like confirmation.
RARP is not supported. We have no intention of using inetboot on SPARC,
only wanboot.
I'm evaluating whether CR 6893342 (which affects the standalone network
stack in "inetboot" when using rarp instead of DHCP) is applicable to
snv or only S10.
Only S10.
I also need to evaluate whether fixing CR 6891560 could be useful for
snv or not - any input here would also be appreciated.
I'd think we'd want it; especially since our reliance on wanboot is
going to expose it to more environments than it's encountered in the
past, we may find need to do more debugging there than has been the case
recently. Though granted 5 years of nobody noticing this in either
inetboot or wanboot does make you wonder :-)
