- Hi!!!
-
- We just purchased a couple of Sun IPXs and ELCs. I am having problems trying
- to boot the ELCs from the IPXs. Apparently the add_client doesnt seem to work.
- It creats the /export/swap/diskless_client but does not copy file to
- /export/root/diskless-client.
-
- I edited the bootparams, exports and ether files in the /etc directory as
- stated in the sys admin manual. I also copied the /usr, /sbin and /etc files
- to the /export/root/diskless_client and I edited the fstab in this directory as
- stated in the manual. With all this, when I type boot net on the ELC, it trys
- to boot and it accesses the root correctly but dumps when trying to access the
- swap.
-
- Can someone pls help me with this????
- I also wanted to know if one could subscribe to this group, if yes then how?
-
