How to Enable TFTP on a Solaris 10 JET Server

For JET servers that are running the Solaris 8 or 9 releases, JET automatically enables the TFTP service for your deployments. If your Solaris JET server is running the Solaris 10 OS, you must manually enable TFTP service on your JET server. Follow these steps.

Steps

1. Log in to the Solaris 10 JET server as root.

2. Type the command svcadm -v enable network/ftp.

   The TFTP service is enabled, and starts when the management server is rebooted. After the system is rebooted, you can verify whether the TFTP service has start using the inetadm command:

   # inetadm enabled online svc:/network/telnet:default enabled online svc:/network/nfs/server:default disabled disabled svc:/network/echo:dgram disabled disabled svc:/network/time:stream enabled online svc:/network/ftp:default

3. Verify that the /etc/hosts file has entries for loopback and the JET server.

   1. Make certain that either of the following loopback entries is in the /etc/hosts file.

      127.0.0.1 localhost

      or

      127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

   2. Make certain that an entry exists for the JET server and its IP address. For example:

      111.11.111.11 jet.domain jet.domain

      where 111.11.111.11 is the IP address of the Solaris 10 JET server, jet is the name of the JET server, and domain is your company domain name.

      Your /etc/hosts file should be similar to the following example:

      127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.5.157.123 biss-jet.company.com

   3. Save and close /etc/hosts.

4. Reboot the JET server.
