Red Hat OS Deployment Using DHCP Option Does Not Assign an IP Address From the DHCP Range (6449051)

When Red Hat OS is deployed on a system using the DHCP option, the system does not get an IP address from the DHCP range.

Workaround: Perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the management server.

2. In the /opt/sun/scs/data/allstart/scripts/dhcp_redhat.sh file, change the Device entry to the appropriate interface needed to run DHCP.

   DEVICE=eth0
   FILE=/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$DEVICE
   cat <<_EOF_> $FILE DEVICE=$DEVICE
   BOOTPROTO=dhcp
   _EOF_
   chown root.root $FILE
   chmod 644 $FILE

3. Add the dhcp_redhat.sh script to the server's OS profile.

#n1sh add osprofile osprofile-name script /opt/sun/scs/data/allstart/scripts/dhcp_redhat.sh type=post
