File Scope

If a multi-homed OS server's "local host" interface is on the diskless client's subnet and you do not specify the -D option (file scope is assumed), then smdiskless works correctly.

If a multi-homed OS server is not on the same subnet as the diskless client, you must edit the OS server's and diskless client's database files, as follows:

All entries must appear on a single line.

1. Change the following server files:

   /etc/bootparams diskless_client root=server:/export/root/diskless_client \ swap=server:/export/swap/diskless_client swapsize=:32 \ dump=server:/export/dump/diskless_client dumpsize=:32 \ boottype=:di

   where server = Host name of OS server, net_interface = Host name of network interface on diskless client's subnet, and diskless_client = Host name of diskless client

   ---

   Note -

   "dump" and "dumpsize" appear only if you specify the "-x dump" or "-x dumpsize" options.

   ---

   To the following:

   diskless_client root=net_interface:/export/root/diskless_client \ swap=net_interface:/export/swap/diskless_client swapsize=:32 \ dump=net_interface:/export/dump/diskless_client dumpsize=:32 \ boottype=:di

   ---

   Note -

   The net_interface host name and its IP address must appear in /etc/hosts.

   ---

2. Restart in.rarpd and rpc.bootparamd on the server. Use in.rarpd -a or start the rarpd daemon on the network interface used by the diskless client.

3. Change the following client files:

   /export/root/diskless_client/etc/vfstab server :/export/root/diskless_client - / nfs - - rw server :/export/swap/diskless_client - /dev/swap nfs - - - server :/export/exec/Solaris_8_sparc.all/usr - /usr nfs - -ro

   To the following:

   net_interface:/export/root/diskless_client - / nfs - - rw net_interface:/export/swap/diskless_client - /dev/swap nfs - - - net_interface:/export/exec/Solaris_8_sparc.all/usr - /usr nfs - -ro
