Evening,
I'v been going at this all day without getting any closer to a resolution.
According to the
Wiki: Solaris Unattended installation - Foreman
the definition of the media must be:
Path: http://server/Solaris/install/Solaris_$major.$minor_$arch_$release
Media Path: server:/Solaris/install/Solaris_$major.$minor_$arch_$release
Config Path: server:/jumpstart
Image Path: server:/Solaris/images
this however breaks down if I use a hostname instead of an IP:

notice that I've used every possible combination I could think of with and
without nfs:// with and without the server name. All this however works if
instead of hostnames I use the IP.
but for some reason Foreman is unable to resolve the IP back to its name
and it fails the provisioning of the host:

even though the IP resolves back to its FQDN without issues in the foreman
servers. I have tried tracing the code that makes the call and I've got
nowhere in app/models/domain.rb I can see that the call to nameservers is
being made but the call to lookup never gets made. I've put logger
statements in app/models/solaris.rb but I don't see the calls to those
either.
this is an extract of the logfile

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. I
would really like to use FQDNs instead of IPs and if I am forced to use IPs
I'de like to know why foreman can't resolve them back to their FQDN
