CD-ROM-Based Installation From the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 CD With Selection of DHCP Fails (4310705)

If a system is installed with the Solaris 8 Software 1 of 2 CD, you may be prompted to configure the system using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If you select DHCP, the installation fails. The following message is displayed:

The IP address previously set on the network interface is no longer available.

• From a Net Install server

• Using the Web Start installation program

• With a static IP address

Workaround: Configure the system to use DHCP after the installation has completed, use the Web Start installation program, or install the system using a Net Install server.
