Hi Paul,
I think you are running into bug 7025817, which appeared in build
159.
The fallback mechanism isn't getting exercised if you've got other
AI servers on the network broadcasting install services.

All,
I discovered some strange behavior in solaris express build 160
for sparc.
when initialing the install, it doesn't pick the right service.
I see this on the console:
Downloading install.conf
--2011-03-18 21:15:43-- http://10.137.232.30:10101/sparc_160-sparc//install.conf

Cool !
and it contains:
root@hazmat:/tmp# cat install.conf
install_service=default
install_svc_address=10.137.232.30:10101
livessh=enable
Even better. But then the install fails, it seems that my
manifests are no good.
If I look, I see the manifests that are way old, they are even the
ones from before build 150 (the opensolaris manifests).
Digging a little deeper:
root@hazmat:/tmp# cat service_list.1122
10.137.232.49:46503:saeosol-134a-x86
Wow, how did that get there ??
I don't think I ask the install.conf to do that did I ?
We have some services on our network on a repo server, but we only
use it as such, it's sometimes a install server if the
conventional method fails...
The install just "picks" the first available service it can find,
seems even that it's in port number order. This is what it did:
saeosol-134b-sparc (port 46502)
After disabling this service...
saeosol-134a-x86 (port 46503)
And so on ....
I really don't want to use the DNS multicast, I just want it to
pick the "default":
10.137.232.30:10101:default
As I told it to do in the "install.conf"
Bug or feature ?
Thanks
Paul
