Hi,

Well - the solaris installer does not start a DHCP server.
Its more likely that you have run the "utadm" setup procedure multiple times. Run " utadm -d e1000g0 " to delete the config and check if the DHCP server is still active with "pntadm"
it should have been unconfigured as well.


If the solaris server only have a singel NIC it is probably better to set up the NIC as a Fixed IP adress with the solaris Installer. And Not Use the DHCP CLIENT when installing Solaris.

So if you use 192.168.1.10 as the fixed adress for the NIC in Solaris , even if you don not have a router
I would manually point the server to a router with the adress 192.168.1.1

Then when you install SRSS you can do

# utadm -A 192.168.1.0 ( note the CAPITAL A )

Do not accept the defaults .

set up 192.168.1.10 as both auth and firmware server .
select to server IP addresses from the server.
Select to start DHCP.

Thanks for responding.

pntadm -L responded with
'192.168.128.0'

so I guess it makes sense that if I try
pntadm -C 192.168.128.0, it responds with
'Table for 192.168.128.0 already exists.'

I think that the problem may be how I respond to the network setup questions
when installing Solaris. When the Solaris installer asks is this system 
networked
or not, what is the correct answer given that there isn't to be any routing?

Joe

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] Can't Configure Dedicated Interconnect w/SRSS 4.1

If you  use a dedicated  sun ray  Network interface I belive that
SRSS   tries to use    192.168.128.0    as the network number  for this
interface  is that whats happening  on you r box ?

  # pntadm -L

  Should list  the  networks registerd with the DHCP  server .

 # pntadm -C  192.168.128.0     should register  the desired subnet  for
DHCP .   Does it ?

Greetings:

I have several Sun Rays with old (1.x) firmware. I know that I need to create a 
"filling station" to update their firmware because their current version can't 
be updated on a shared subnet.

So, I have done a clean installation of Solaris 10 5/08 and installed SRSS4.1 
(also tried 4.0). I have the server and the Sun Ray directly connected into a 
hub and there is no router in the system. utadm -a e1000g0 runs but when it 
goes to update the DHCP tables, it returns an error 'pntadm: The server address 
is not a valid address.'
eer to go on “Tour” of Siberia, but could we wait till late spring? Maybe 
summer?
svcs | grep dhcp says that the DHCP server is online. However, after reboot, 
the Sun Ray just sits at the hourglass with two dashes underneath which I 
believe means that the Sun Ray is waiting for an IP address.

Have I made a mistake in configuring Solaris or SRSS or is this a bug in 
4.0/4.1? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Joe
