   wget: unable to resolve host address

SPARC installs fail unless I change the hostname to an IP in the client's
wanboot.conf file.

Was this an intended change in later version of installadm?

This was part of the changes to support multi-homed AI servers. By default, if your server has multiple interfaces (vboxnet0 counts), installadm will put the server's hostname in wanboot.conf, and the client will resolve it to the right address at its boot time. However, due to bug 7011720, the client isn't able to update its hosts file and hence fails to resolve the hostname. (This bug will be fixed in the 158 images.)

Is there a configuration I can change?

Yes, you can configure your AI server such that it only serves off of one network. With this setting, installadm will put the server's IP address for that configured network in wanboot.conf and things should work as before. The full flag day for this can be found here:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+caiman/Multi-homed+AI+server+support


basically what you'd need to do is to set the property in the svc:/system/install/server:default service to only serve one network. e.g (fill in your IP and netmask info):

/ svccfg -s svc:/system/install/server:default setprop all_services/networks =
192.168.1.1/24/


Then recreate your install service (or re-run the create-client command for the needed clients)


-ethan

My server built on 151a create the wanboot.conf with and IP
and I don't have a problems.

Thanks, Tom
