Hi,

I'm very new to Solaris world and istarted my learnign with a Blade T6320 Server.

I was trying to install Solaris 10.8 from a DVD image over the network.
But from the client(the machine which i want to install Solaris) when i tried boot net , i am getting a message like " cannto find boot_archive or miniroot "

What all i did are:

Added client's MAC address to T2000's ethers file
Added entry for client in T2000's hosts file
Copied the DVD image to T2000 as per the Sun document.
Added client by using add_install_client.

Since both these servers are in same subnet , as per the document i don't want to have a boot server.

Can someone suggest me what will be the problem.
any help will be much appretiated.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
