How to install an JumpStart Server on Solaris 11.3?

Hey Guys,

i'm trying to install and configure a jumpstart server on a solaris 11.3 x86 based system. I've already created the folders to install the server. I've tried to use the installation script as follow (i'm root on the system):
./setup_install_server /export/jumpstart

Everything works fine until starting the "Copying /boot netboot hierarchy..." Every time i get the "ERROR: copy of /boot netboot failed"

What i've already tried:

  • Install into an new folder
  • Changed the folder rights root:root 777
  • Complete new Server installation

Perhaps anyone has an idea?

Regards
Marcus

P.S.: Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes.
