I haven't seen the screenshot, but I would suggest this: Delete any and all partitions, then create the Solaris partition of size 20GiB:
<ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>1</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>2</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>3</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>delete</partition_action> <partition_number>4</partition_number> <partition_type>1</partition_type> <partition_size>1</partition_size> </ai_device_partitioning> <ai_device_partitioning> <partition_action>create</partition_action> <partition_type>SOLARIS</partition_type> <partition_size>20</partition_size> <partition_size_units>GB</partition_size_units> </ai_device_partitioning> This should assure that all partitions are deleted before the Solaris partition is created and that the required fields have valid values that will pass additional validation that happens on the AI client.
