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).

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -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:

       smf(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.

       The  rpc.bootparamd service is managed by the service management facil‐
       ity, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/rpc/bootparams

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
       requesting  restart,  can  be performed using svcadm(1M). The service's
       status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
