Hi Jack,
Thanks for your help. It does look like my problem was that 172 was
installed on the system which I used to create the 173 image. This
setup worked fine to create my livecd distro but like you said the DC AI
image apparently didn't like it. I have now created an AI client image
of b173 and it is working great.
Thanks,
Tyson

Hi Jack,
Thanks for the quick response. I am trying to create an AI client
image of b173. I have set the default publisher to
http://netinstall-s11.us.oracle.com/solaris
I was wondering if perhaps the manifest files had changed so I used
my manifest file with the 173 AI image downloaded from nana and it
work great there.
Sounds like a mismatch between your publisher contents and B173.
If I try using the default manifest file in
<image_path>/auto_install/manifest ,without any modifications, with
my DC created image I get the "AI manifest failed validation" error.
This leads me to think that there is something wrong / different
about my DC AI client image. What do you think?
I think that what you tried should have worked, because a default
manifest should work with the image it comes from. The bits in your
image sound inconsistent with each other.
I don't know what changes there are between netinstall-s11 and the
pristine packages at ipkg. I would start with
ipkg.us.oracle.com/solaris11/dev. Also, I was reminded that for 173,
you *do* need to build 173 AI client images on a 173 system.
I'm not sure what your end goal is; perhaps you want to customize
your image. If this is so, I suggest getting a reference 173 image
working first, then you can start diverging by tweaking/customizing
your image. Ping me further if you want to know more on how to do this.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi Tyson.
Sounds like you built an AI client image with bits that are
incompatible with your manifest. Check the publisher you specified
under the "transfer-ips-install" <software> tag in the DC manifest
you used to build your AI client image. Is it current? The
default, http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release is not current. The
most current is http://ipkg.us.oracle.com/solaris11/dev.
(Side note: You'll probably want to set all publisher settings to
the same value.)
Another possibility is that you built your image with current bits
but you based your manifest on an old manifest template. Lately
manifest definitions have been changing frequently. The manifest
you create should be based on the image you will use them with. Do
the following to check this out:
On the system where you created your service, check out the
default.xml and ai_manifest.xml files of your service and compare
them with your failing manifest. Find these files by doing
installadm list and looking under
<image_path>/auto_install/manifest. In the same directory you will
also find the DTD specifications which define the format of the
manifest.
On a related but tangential note, it is best to build a version X
image on a version X system. So if you are building a B173 AI
client image, do it on a B173 system. Version mismatches *could*
work but are not guaranteed.
I hope that helps,
Jack

Hi,
I am having a problem with a DC AI image that I have created. I
have successfully created an AI ISO image using distro
constructor. I can then successfully create an install service
using installadm create-service. I have a problem adding a
manifest to this service. I get "AI manifest failed validation:
No declaration for element target ...." Several elements are
listed. If I create an install service with the AI ISO image made
available for download. I can add the same manifest file without
any problems. I must be missing something. Does anyone have any
ideas on what I am missing or doing wrong?
Thanks,
Tyson
