Hello,

I have a question again but about the install of à client SPARC T1000
Entreprise Server by a Solaris 11 AI server install.
The version of my server AI is an X86_64 VM with solaris 11.0
4 Gb of ram
1 Gb of swap
30 Gb of HDD

I have 2 virtual network devices (net0 and net1) on 2 differents VLANs.
I have 2 Statics IP.

My DHCP server is OK on it.
I create my service with DHCP IP range (only one IP for my test), the
sparc ISO of solaris 11 for my image (path of my image is in
/etc/netboot/s11-sparc-dhcp) and enable it.
I create my client, profile, manifest and put the good informations
inside xml files.

I even start the TFTP server on it who listen all IP address on UDP 69
(but its OK on local test with my IP (classe B) but access denied on the
network)
The directory of TFTP is on /etc/netboot like need for AI server and the
writes are 777 (for my test) like under thes lines :
:/etc/netboot# ls -ald .
drwxrwxrwx 4 nobody root 7 Nov 5 17:39 .
I read that tftp is not really important to do an install by BOOT DHCP
because of the wan boot method for AI install isn't it ?

So, can you tell me please if it is possible to install it without the
last update of firmware ALOM with an other method than wan boot ?

My firmware version of the ALOM is 6.7.0 and i read that i need the
6.7.11 or 6.7.12 update but i can't download it for the instant.

The problem is when I try to start my install by the BOOT DHCP method
with the command
boot net:dhcp - install

My T1000 server take the IP on my DHCP server (who is the VM and the AI
server install) but after that, try a TFTP install method and i have
this error :

Timed out waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply => I am sur that step is Ok
because i did a ping of the IP who is OK at this moment
TFTP Error: Access violation
ERROR: boot-read fail

I did a snoop on the VM and I saw the connexion of my T1000 and I even
saw the tftp error.

Can you help me please ?


The use of tftp in booting SPARC Solaris 11 installation clients isn't supported. I would expect all versions of the T1000 firmware to support http-based booting, but if it's broken for some reason, a workaround is to boot the AI client from CD as described in the Solaris 11 installation documentation.
