Hello, Well I had been trying both an x86 and a sparc install and they failed with the same error: The name service information is incorrect. Please go back and enter the correct information. On the sparc installation the problem was I hadn't put the client's hostname and IP address in the LDAP server (I've got a transitional arrangement where currently the jumpstart server is on NIS, but we're moving to LDAP). On the x86 installation, I had reinstalled a machine on 16th December which had write access to the NFS install image. The process of installation actually overwrites some links in the install image (a long standing annoyance in jumpstart) and in previous versions of Solaris these were restricted to /etc/inet/hosts, /etc/inet/netmasks. The one that had bitten me was /etc/nsswitch.conf. As the system tries to configure the LDAP name service it has to change the nsswitch.conf which is supposed to be linked to a R/W partition. Since it was on the RO install image, changing it failed and produced the error message above. It would have been really quick to debug if I'd looked in /var/sadm/system/logs/sysidtool.log. -- Tom. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Crummey, Systems and Network Manager, EMAIL: tom@ee.ucl.ac.uk Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University College London, TEL: +44 (0)20 7679 3898 Torrington Place, FAX: +44 (0)20 7388 9325 London, UK, WC1E 7JE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Jan 27 08:16:41 2006
