Hi,

I've been running jumpstart installation for several Sunfire V210 and
V280Rs. I did use the following sysidcfg file but it's complaining
regarding NOT finding Jumpstart Directory and subsequently fails to
comply with rules file. Though the ./check verification did gave me a
okay signal but the [I guess] ip addressing/subnet mask scheme is
causing trouble. I'm in the same subnet. I happened to google a lot on
this, almost everyone had problem with ip addresssing and subnet mask.
With this current sysidcfg, the system prompted for default route, for
once!

Can someone please share a working sysidcfg file for an unattended
installation?

# my current sysidcfg file

system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Central
terminal=sun-cmd
timeserver=localhost
root_password=test
network_interface=bge0	{netmask=255.255.0.0
protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=none
name_service=none

Initially I was using following directive; it couldn't find the
jumpstart directory. I even tried removing "default_route", didn't help
much.

network_interface=bge0 {hostname=test1
default_route=10.1.1.253
ip_address=10.1.1.1
netmask=255.255.0.0
protocol_ipv6=no}


Here is my log ...

After that all worked fine.

In case should you need to see my /etc/bootparam file, here it is ..

# /etc/bootparam

test.testserv.org  root=blade150:/opt/jumpstart/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot
install=blade150:/opt/jumpstart boottype=:in
sysid_config=blade150:/opt/jumpstart
install_config=blade150:/opt/jumpstart rootopts=:rsize=32768

Can you please highlight what went wrong?

TIA
