rpc.bootparamd(1M) System Administration Commands rpc.bootparamd(1M) NAME rpc.bootparamd, bootparamd - boot parameter server SYNOPSIS /usr/sbin/rpc.bootparamd [-d] DESCRIPTION rpc.bootparamd is a server process that provides information from a bootparams database to diskless clients at boot time. See bootparams(4) The source for the bootparams database is determined by the nss- witch.conf(4) file (on the machine running the rpc.bootparamd process). The rpc.bootparamd program can be invoked either by inetd(1M) or di- rectly from the command line. OPTIONS -d Display debugging information. FILES /etc/bootparams boot parameter data base /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration file for the name-service switch ATTRIBUTES See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWbsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO inetd(1M), bootparams(4), nsswitch.conf(4), attributes(5) NOTES A diskless client requires service from at least one rpc.bootparamd process running on a server that is on the same IP subnetwork as the diskless client. Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string compar- isons; some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the case of the hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the host- name called for, and attempt the request again.
