 AI server is running 147 and I have internal repo serving 147.
Client is Sparc Ultra45

Default installation works and nwam configures interface (bge0) correctly.

I copied the default.xml to my client manifest area, changed the tag, replaced the embedded service_bundle with the static_network version and edited the values appropriately for my client. I have a criteria file which sets the MAC address for the client. So I can do:

# installadm add-manifest -m myclient.xml -n s11b147s -C criteria_myclient.xml

and this works fine, and the right manifest gets loaded when I wanboot the client.

However, the static network is not configured. I only have local host entries. There are no entries in /etc/hosts or /etc/netmasks.
/etc/defaultrouter, /etc/hostname.bge0 do not exist.

Those files will not be configured, as new network configuration mechanism use ipadm(1m) and 'route(1m) -p' to configure NIC and default route - see following
PSARC document for more details:

If you are interested how it is implemented, you could take a look at
appropriate start smf(5) method:

DNS is correctly configured and /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf are both correct.

'ifconfig -a'  shows only the localhost entries.
'svcs -l network/physical:default' shows the service enabled and nwam disabled

creating/editing the above files and then restarting network/physical:default enables networking happily.

While configuring network via those files still works in order to make the
transition process smooth, using ipadm(1m) is preferred approach.


The <service_bundle> tag section from the sample static_network.xml file was copied as a complete replacement for the existing service_bundle in the manifest and just the values for the client and DNS were supplied.

Did I miss something - my reading of it was that the static network example was a complete replacement for the existing service_bundle in the default file?

See my response to your other email.

Thank you,
Jan
