If the target server cannot access DHCP information or mount the distribution directories on the management server during a Solaris 10 deployment, you might have network problems caused by an invalid netmask. The console output might be similar to the following:

To fix the problem, set the management server netmask value to 255.255.255.0. See To Configure the N1 System Manager in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Installation and Configuration Guide.
