Internal Server Error or WAN Boot Alert

After the client has obtained the IP address and initial parameters to start downloading the boot archive, the client might be unable to find or download the boot_archive.

  • If the client cannot find the boot_archive, the following error is displayed:

    Rebooting with command: boot net:dhcp - install
          Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/network@4:dhcp  File and args:

  • If the client finds the boot_archive file but cannot access the file, then the following error is displayed:

    Rebooting with command: boot net:dhcp - install
          Boot device: /pci@7c0/pci@0/network@4:dhcp  File and args:

For both of these problems, fix the boot_archive file configured for this client. Check the pathname and permissions of the boot_archive at $IMAGE/boot/boot_archive.
