Description: When you run the add_install_client command, the command fails with the above error.
Cause: The client you are adding to the install server does not exist in the server's /etc/ethers file.
Solution: Add the needed information to the /etc/ethers file on the install server and run the add_install_client command again.

On the install server, open the /etc/ethers file in an editor. Add the address to the list.
On the client, run add_install_client again as in this example.
