the system is on an internal customer network and I cannot get the files off without an extended security process.

The install log shows a lot of detail about the disk identification and selection and ends up selecting the requested disk (c3t2d0) and using the entire disk. the only things in the log after that are the same three AI lines as before - no extra info.

sc_manifest.xml is empty

I am thinking my client manifests are bad/incorrect.

I tried deleting the manifest I created for the client and just using the defaults. Even though default.xml in the /aiserver/<svcname> has been modified to use my local repository instead of pkg.opensolaris.org/release, the ai_combined_manifest.xml file does not pick up the modifications.

I had tried creating a manifest file for the client, and this is obviously what has caused the timezone error.

I did a boot net:dhcp using the default manifest, then edited the ai_combined_manifest.xml to point to my local repository before I enabled auto-installer service and the system is booting using the default. Note that the default manifest that was loaded onto the booting system still referenced pkg.opensolaris.org rather than my internal repo. Do I have to restart pkg/server after modifying default.xml?

I am still unsure how i go about getting the modified default manifest to be picked up automatically.

I also want to use static networking, but I am obviously missing something, as my attempts to include the static networking template failed with a "StartTag invalid element name message".

Are there any sample client manifests which include the static networking option?

Previously (b137) I had an ai manifest, an sc manifest and a criteria manifest which referenced the previous two, but my reading of the new setup seemed to imply that the sc manifest could be included in the ai manifest, however, I can't seem to get this to work with b147. I am unsure whether I am just confused or whether there has been a change in the way things work.

Cheers

This looks like bug 4629 which was supposed to have been fixed in March 2009.
Has it resurfaced, or is this something else?

It seems that the issue you are encountering is not related to 4629, as it is not seen on all machines (I have successfully installed sun4u machines with 147).

In order to be able to evaluate what's going on, could you please rerun the installer in debug mode ? It is enabled by passing 'install_debug' from OBP prompt:

{0} ok boot net:dhcp - install install_debug

After the installation fails, could you please log to the machine (jack/jack)
and attach following files ?

/tmp/ai_combined_manifest.xml
/tmp/sc_manifest.xml
/tmp/install_log

Thank you,
Jan

I am attempting to use AI with b147 to load a SPARC system (Ultra 45, 6Gb, XVR-300, 4*250Gb disk).
The system is on an internal network with a local repository.

The default manifests have been configured to access the internal repository.

wanboot works, the system loads the client-specific manifest, finds the target disk, reports enough physical memory for installation, then I get:

<AI Sep 8 00:42:07> Parsing system configuration manifest
<AI Sep 8 00:42:07> Detected the latest format of System Configuration manifest.
<AI Sep 8 00:42:07> Setting of OM_ATTR_TIMEZONE_INFO failed
Automated Installation failed

in the property_group "other_sc_params" I have:
<propval name="timezone" type="astring" value="GMT"/>

any ideas on why I am getting this error, and any way to resolve it?

Cheers
Frank
