Re: SUMMARY: Problems jumpstarting v210 servers

To all -

Has anybody successfully patched a jumpstart image of Solaris 2/02 to
include the v240 Solaris 12/02 support? 

I tried this post below on my jumpstart image, and it seems to have
crocked my image. It will not boot an e250 or Ultra I (I actually
never got to try my v240s yet);  it arp's OK and requests it's IP,
however then it just hangs. I have patchrm /path/to/jumpstart/Boot
<patch id> and then add_install_client -c -p blah blah again and it
works, but now it INSISTS on using DNS as a name service on new
clients and the suninstall program then fails at that point after I
have answered a dozen questions that sysidcfg should supply.

I have put the order in to Sun contract support for 12/02 or newer.

Thanks to Ole Morten Xian for his help.

The easy solution is to obtain Solaris 8 2002/12 or 2003/05.

Here is the hard way (not completely tested):

You will need to patch the boot image first; Assuming Solaris 8
2002/02 
is
installed in /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-02/

patchadd -C /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-02/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot
<patch
number> using the list below in order. Some of these patches are 
contract
patches not available to customers w/o sunsolve accounts...

112396-02
108987-13
108528-23
111883-18
108974-33
113684-04
113680-03
110460-30
113679-05
113682-02
109889-06
109888-24
113683-02
113681-02
111794-02 (May fail)
112249-04 (May fail)

The above step will work. The following step *should* work. I have 
never tried it and I can't promise that it will work or produce a
stable 
system:
