Have you tried set http_proxy environment? I am trying to install osol-0609 on sparc and couldn't contact the pkg.opensolaris.org even my network and dns seems working fine. Although I tried to modify the manifest by adding <ai_http_proxy url="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080"/> but it seems the sparc client never took it from the server. (client always fails the auto_installer service and complains that it can not contact pkg.opensolaris.org, although the network is fine, I can wget from http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release, which means the connectivity is fine and naming resolution is fine.) the client built a /tmp/ai_combined_manifest.xml from the install server but it didn't contain the ai_http_proxy tag I added to the install server. So finally, I have to manually copy the start method of auto_installer to /tmp and add a line: "export http_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080"; on the top, and manually run the auto_installer script, it got through this time!
Still not figuring out why <ai_http_proxy> won't work, and have to set http_proxy environment variable manually. I think it is similar error to yours (not sure) , so I posted under this thread. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
