I'm currently working on a Sparc Sun-Fire-280R running Solaris 10 8/10. The machine has dhcp-server preconfigured to use NIS from the onset but I don't have any knowledge of where those config files are stored. I have tried all sorts like changing the resource type from SUNWbinfiles to SUNWfiles etc, but haven't had much luck.

Here's what I'm working with:

root@host # dhcpconfig -C -p /var/dhcp -r SUNWfiles
dhcpconfig: Error - reading DHCP configuration file. No such file or directory

root@host # dhcpconfig -U -hx
Unconfigure will stop the DHCP service and remove the DHCP configuration file.
Are you SURE you want to unconfigure the DHCP service? ([Y]/N): y
dhcpconfig: Error - reading DHCP configuration file. No such file or directory
root@host # dhcpconfig -S -r 
dhcpconfig: Error - failed to read DHCP server parameters.

root@host # pntadm -L

Warning: No DHCP configuration file exists. There is no way to verify the
data store version for this operation.

pntadm: null is not a valid resource.
root@host # pntadm -R

Warning: No DHCP configuration file exists. There is no way to verify the
data store version for this operation.

root@host # svcs | grep dhcp-server
offline        3:54:11 svc:/network/dhcp-server:default

Please help me. How can I reconfigure dhcp-server.

Thanks

I was able to fix this with this:

check if the file /etc/inet/dhcpsvc.conf exists. If it doesn't create it

Restart DHCP server

dhcpconfig -S -r

Re-configure dhcp server

dhcpconfig -C -p /var/dhcp -r SUNWfiles

Unconfigure it

dhcpconfig -U -hx

check configuration details (just to be sure)

dhtadm -P

Re-configure it

dhcpconfig -D -r SUNWfiles -p /var/dhcp -h dns -y 192.168.x.xx -l 480 -d 192.168.x.xx -a 192.168.x.xx
