Solution  1007246.1 :   Sun Enteprise[TM] 10000: Error: Waiting for ARP  


PreviouslyPublishedAs
209974

Symptoms
The following error occurs when trying to boot a Sun Enteprise 10000 domain
from the network:
waiting for ARP ...

Resolution

The following procedure will help you bring up the domain over the network.
Set up the boot server on the SSP
---------------------------------
1. On SSP: # domain_switch <domain_name>
2.         # bringup -A off
3. Open netcon session to domain.
4. Make sure you have 2.6 CD-ROM local on SSP.
5. # /cdrom/sol_2_6_sparc_smcc_svr/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools/rm_install_client
<domain_name>
6. #/cdrom/sol_2_6_sparc_smcc_svr/s0/Solaris_2.6/Tools/add_install_client
<domain_name> sun
4u1
Please Note!
The CD-ROM has to be local on the SSP since the boot image will still
reside on
the CD-ROM.
7. # vi /etc/ethers   -> add/check  MAC address and e10k domainname
if you do not know MAC address type "banner" in
			 netcon session at the doamin's ok prompt
or sysid -d ***
8. # vi /etc/hosts   -> add e10k domainname and ip address
9. Check /tfptboot/.
10. Verify data in /etc/bootparams file for domain.
11. boot net -s  (in domain netcon).
Troubleshooting if it still does not boot:
-----------------------------------------
1. snoop -d <ifname> <domain_name>
2. watch-net-all  at ok prompt of domain
3. On ssp check  /export/home/ssp/.postrc for errors.
(/export/install is for permanent bootserver installation only)
4. Check to make sure the CD-ROM was shared correctly.
ssp# share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /cdrom/cdrom0/s0
