Comment on PXE / Net booting Open Solaris 200805 release. by iain

Hi Marian,

To answer your questions:

1) I’m running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon release, which according to my dhcpd.conf file is running ‘ISC dhcpd’

My dhcpd.conf file looks like this:

====== dhcpd.conf =====
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
log-facility local7;

option grubmenu code 150 = text;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}

host laptop {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:60:B6:68;
option grubmenu “/boot/grub/menu.lst”;
fixed-address 192.168.1.34;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.1.10;
next-server 192.168.1.20;
filename “/boot/grub/pxegrub”;
}

===== end dhcpd.conf ====

2) I didn’t need to manually enter anything under grub, it was all configured from the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

When I was reading up about this I noted that some people under red hat were having issues with the default tftpd server. I’ll see if I can dig up the answer they came up with.

Hi
http://blog.buttermountain.co.uk/2008/05/24/pxe-net-booting-open-solaris-200805-release/
I could not reproduce your instructions on dhcp server

After adding cutom option:
option grubmenu code 150 = text;
option grubmenu “/boot/grub/menu.lst”;
into /etc/dhcpd.conf
The dhcpd server does not start at all.
on Scientific Linux 5.1, on debian/etch and
CentOS 5.1.
What Operating system you use for DHCP server?
You didn’t mention it in your blog.

I managed to get into command line pxegrub only without the custom options from dhcp server.

If I manually enter
kernel$ /solaris/platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -m verbose -B install_server=[ip of your nfs server]:/export/opensolaris/
It works
If I manually enter
module /solaris/x86.microroot
it start reading the file. I see 20 dots. and then I get:
Disk read error

Do you have any idea how to resolve both issues?

[…] Its that time of year, I had the same issue in 2007. This time I’m pleased(?) to say that only my laptop hard disk has died, I’m also pleased to say that this time I had a backup. Fingers crossed this is the only disk (this year). […]

Thanks for this AWESOME example — just spent over an hour (reading the javadocs) but couldn’t figure it out until I saw this example.

Hi! Nice examples! But server in your example serves clients in succession. How to make server work with clients simultaneously?

Lamsey sucks more than Gentoo.
At least you can leave comments on Gentoo.

Good work on this. I might have to get it working on my Solaris laptop and do a follow-up for Solaris IPMP (now that you’ve done the hard work
