Thank you for your response. You did answer my question- "the AI install server must be OpenSolaris, not SXCE or S10."
Pxe is being served from a Linux tftp server for our sol10x86 environment. And we were hoping to use the same infra for opensolaris as well. And yes it is the AI iso :) ..V -- Brief mesg frm mobile device Pls pradon the tpyos On Jun 24, 2009, at 5:48 PM, Sarah Jelinek <Sarah.Jelinek at Sun.COM> wrote: Hi Vikram, I have some questions to help me understand what you are trying to do: 1. What image are you using to try to boot the client? Is it the AI .iso image? Or a liveCD image? 2. AI requires specific server side setup. You need to setup the AI service you want to boot from, and to install from. You can find information about this at: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/AIinstall/ Did you use installadm to setup the AI service on your install server? For now, the AI install server must be OpenSolaris, not SXCE or S10. Your entry below indicates you have an image which you are trying to boot. The failure you note below makes me think you have a liveCD image, you are trying to boot over the network. You cannot do this. To use the AI installer you must use an AI image. The AI installer is not included in the liveCD. Regards, sarah **** How do I retrofit my existing PXE setup for Solaris 10 to use the new autoinstaller for OpenSolaris 2009-06 ? I can boot off the network and get this far ? how do I debug to see where things are failing ? How do I define the manifest to install ?
