Hi, The actual problem was due to unnecessary "backslash" in the command line given for SPARC install service under below procedure link. http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/dev/AIinstall/advancedsetup.html
# installadm create-service -n /0906sparc/ \ -s //export/aiimages/osol-0906-ai-sparc.iso/ //export/aiserver/osol-0906-ai-sparc/ Without "\" installadm works fine & service started successfully.
