When attempting to perform an installation of Oracle Solaris 11, you encounter a failure message
along the lines of “no offers were received.” What is the most likely reason for this message and
why?
A.
The system could not obtain a DHCP-based lease so it could not proceed.
B.
The amount of disk space offered by the installer is inadequate so the installerattempted to
compress datain memory.
C.
The minimum amount of memory is not sufficient to load the necessary network driver so
theinstaller tried to offerdisk as backing store.
D.
An IPaddressprovidedis located on a different networksegment becausethecorrectRARP server
did notrespond.
E.
TheIPaddress provided is outside the range of allocatable addresses.
Explanation:
No DHCP or Proxy DHCP Offers Were Received
If a DHCP server is not responding to an x86 client’s request, you see the following messages:
Intel(R) Boot Agent PXE Base Code (PXE-2.1 build 0.86)
Copyright(C) 1997-2007, Intel Corporation
CLIENT MAC ADDR 00 14 4F 29 04 12 GUID FF2000008 FFFF FFFF FFFF 7BDA264F1400
DHCP……… No DHCP or ProxyDHCP offers were received
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
The timeout message indicates that the client is sending a DHCP request and not getting a
response. This issue is probably due to an error in the DHCP configuration. Check to see if your
client is configured correctly in the DHCP server.
