16
17       The source for the  bootparams  database  is  determined  by  the  nss‐
18       witch.conf(4) file (on the machine running the rpc.bootparamd process).

NOTES

50       A diskless client requires service from  at  least  one  rpc.bootparamd
51       process  running  on  a server that is on the same IP subnetwork as the
52       diskless client.
53
54
55       Some routines that compare hostnames use case-sensitive string  compar‐
56       isons;  some do not. If an incoming request fails, verify that the case
57       of the  hostname in the file to be parsed matches the case of the host‐
58       name called  for, and attempt the request again.

61       The  rpc.bootparamd service is managed by the service management facil‐
62       ity, smf(5), under the service identifier:
63
64         svc:/network/rpc/bootparams
65

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