Hi everyone,

I am trying to jumpstart a new T5220 server.  Solaris version is
inst_sparc_10_1106.

I've ran add_install_client with sun4v as a platform, but getting the
following error when trying to boot from network:

{0} ok boot net - install


SPARC Enterprise T5220, No Keyboard
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.29.0.a, 32640 MB memory available, Serial #86298584.
Ethernet address 0:21:28:24:cf:d8, Host ID: 8524cfd8.



Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@2/network@0  File and args:
- install
1000 Mbps full duplex  Link up
Requesting Internet Address for 0:21:28:24:cf:d8
Requesting Internet Address for 0:21:28:24:cf:d8
Requesting Internet Address for 0:21:28:24:cf:d8
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

This is what i was able to find so far that made sense..but i am not
sure what else to try:

The file just loaded does not appear to be executable


You will need to verify that the custom JumpStart server has been
correctly set up as a boot and install server. Additionally, make sure
you specified the correct platform group for the client when you ran
add_install_client to set up the client to be able to use JumpStart.

What else should i try?

Thank you!

Just to add.. I found the following OS requirements on Sun website:

Solaris 10 8/07 OS and Solaris 10 10/08 OS

Ours is older.. so could it be the case?

We do have 2 other T5220 and my co-worker says he jumpstarted one of
them, but doesn't remember for sure.....

Most likely the version on your Jumpstart server is to old to boot your 
hardware, hence the reason it didn't work.  Update the Solaris 10 on 
your Jumpstart server to the supported version and you should be OK.

Are you using the correct architecture for the boot media?  Your T5220
is a sun4v architecture, are you instead using sun4u?

I am using correct architecture (sun4v).  This is my jumpstart
command:

/export/src/jumpstart/inst_sparc_10/Solaris_10/Tools/
add_install_client -c foil:/export/src/jumpstart -p foil:/export/src/
jumpstart/prof setup1 sun4v

I updated our jumpstart server with the latest Solaris 10 version...
still getting same error message....

Thanks you, everyone...

interesting.  I've run into odd boot failures when jumpstarting that a
'reset-all' at the OBP fixed.  Maybe give that a shot...

after working with sun support on getting this resolved.. Here is the
problem:

You need the following line in sysidcfg file:
nfs4_domain=dynamic

This is something new that now needs to be done for solaris 10.

Replace udp6 to udp in /etc/inetd.conf for tftp record:

# TFTPD - tftp server (primarily used for booting)
##tftp    dgram   udp6     wait    root    /usr/sbin/in.tftpd      in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
tftp    dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/in.tftpd      in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
