Hello.

Is anybody still using Sun DHCP?
I have doubts.

As to Oracle Solaris they have used Sun DHCP for their Jumpstart tehnology
in S9,S10, but several years as Jumstart was replaced with AI in S11 (and
Automated Installer benefits on ISC DHCP).

As to config conversion, dhcp-users has post which explains what should be
done in order to migrate to ISC DHCP:
