Hello, I was having trouble with an E10K domain that was panicked every time I tried to do a Jumpstart. I would like to thank Casper Dik who helped me resolve the problem. There were others as well, but their suggestions didn't work for my situation. I also got about 20 "vacation" messages from various people which wasn't so welcome. I had 2 issues. The first was the command I invoked at the PROM monitor. I was doing: ok> boot -v net - install When I should've done: ok> boot net -v - install Although it didn't explain why it was still crashing when I just did: ok> boot net - install Which was really my original concern. The solution to this part was to add the following patches to my network boot image: Latest Kernel Patch (plus dependencies) Latest lvm/md patch (plus dependencies) And because I was using a Gigabit ethernet device, the Latest gem patch and qfe patch. Interestingly, it would configure during the netboot to use the qfe0 device but then try to install off the gem0 device. For some reason, this wasn't working but after installing the patches for these devices, everything came up fine. I had to work this out by first principles as there was little information in the SRDB's or anywhere else online so it must've been a specific problem with our configuration and environment. rachel -- Rachel Polanskis Systems Admin, University of Western Sydney V1-37, Kingswood Campus (+61 2) 47 360 291 <r.polanskis@uws.edu.au> "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Sun Oct 19 20:03:40 2003
