Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Release Notes

DHCP Does Not Work on SPARC Machines on Reboot of Machine After N1 System Manager Has Been Installed (6314895)

Solaris 10 does not install the dhcpd daemon in /usr/sbin/ as did earlier versions of Solaris, but instead Solaris 10 installs the dhcpd daemon in /usr/local/sbin/. As a result, if the machine is rebooted or you kill the dhcpd daemon, the dhcpd daemon cannot be restarted.

Workaround: Every time the Solaris management server is rebooted or shutdown, you must enter the following command on the management server after it boots:


/opt/SUNWscs/sbin/s_dhcp_config.pl -e -I interface
