Wanboot is a new system for booting solaris over the network.
Better, Simpler, and with modern tools.
Sparc Hardware, dhcp server, dns infrastructure, we also need a solaris system
We must add new entry inside our dhcpd server, for this we use a class directive for Sun hardware.
## For SPARC#class "Sparc" { match if ( substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 5) = "SUNW." ) and not ( option vendor-class-identifier = "SUNW.i86pc" ); filename "http://wanbootserver:5555/cgi-bin/wanboot-cgi";}It s a standart web server with the correct config and the cgi script (wanboot-cgi).
I use lighttpd, and my config include this (verify if it s necessary).
server.modules += ("mod_cgi")server.document-root = "/data/WanBoot/web_root"$HTTP["url"] =~ "/cgi-bin/" { cgi.assign = ( "" => "" ) }Wanboot config
The file are located in /etc/netboot, we can use/create subfolder with hostanme or macaddress as key like we use for syslinux/pxe, but i don t like this way (too hard to manage).
