Hi all. I am running opensolaris Caiman project build 134 on SPARC Sunfire v210.
I have managed to install ok direct from the bootable iso. I have done the following to get the network interface up and running: - Edited /etc/hosts to contain my FQDN ip and shortname hostname - Created file /etc/defaultrouter and added one single line with default gateway IP address - Modified nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf to resolve to my local on site DNS servers - Disabled nwam and enabled default like so: # svcadm disable /network/physical:nwam # svcadm disable /network/physical:default - Created hostname.bge0 (bge0 = the interface I have IP info setup on) with single line in the file which is my hostname - created /etc/netmasks with single line in file of my subnet mask - Verified /etc/inet/ipnodes exists. It does and is just a pointer to /etc/hosts - Verified that my adapter in ifconfig has IP and netmask set correctly - I even tried setting a default route by doing a # route -p add default <default gateway IP here> which shows as having added it and I can see it in the routing table by doing a # netstat -r [b]Yet the default route is NOT set.[/b] I have noticed however, that if I # enable network/physical:nwam and # disable /network/physical:default then it suddenly works. This is with the file /etc/nwam/llp set to use static route instead of the default dhcp. Why does this work but using static IP the proper way with physical:default does not? I want to use static IP and do not require DHCP so have been reading that it is best to disable and not use nwam. Yet I cannot get it to work. I thought it would be as easy as it reading the defaultrouter file, but it does not seem to. Any help much appreciated. Is it possible that this is a bug with the Caiman project build 134 I am using? I have read various threads on here and elsewhere with similar problems, but they always got it working by doing one of the above steps. There is a thread where someone mentions a script that they used as a temp fix but this is beyond my ability and understanding, plus they managed to get it working in the end "normally". -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
