Abdel,
The default partition chosen by AI (based on existing Solaris
partitions) worked for me with the few systems I'm using.
I did have problems with the default not working for a X4500 which
required me to explicitly specify a partition using <ai_target_device>.
Also, the disk target labelling conventions are not necessarily the same
between Solaris and Opensolaris.
Other than using <ai_target_device> I don't have anything else to suggest.
You might have better luck though with this question on the
[email protected] which related specifically to the AI
installer.

Paul,
Sorry to bug you again but I have a couple questions:
1- Installation fails if AI doesn't find a Solaris partition. If that is the case, then what if we have a new server or an old one that never had Solaris installed in it before?
2- I tried to install sparc on LUN on a storage array but it failed - see
attached file
Note: The HBA bios is enabled and it and emlx - I am trying to install on LUN 0

Bart,
I have attached two installation logs. The first one, install_log_1.txt, is the
one that took too long because I had the FC cables attached to the client and
to a switch (none of the ports belong to an active zone). The packages that are
added to the default pkgs are SUNWiscsitgt and SUNWiscsi. The second one,
install_log_2.txt, is when I unplugged the cables, it took about 53 min to
finish pkg installation and with an extra package SUNWscp added to the previous
ones. The repo I am using is the default one pkg.opensolaris.org/release -- no
mirroring has been setup yet -- I know that the AI will scan all the devices
and chooses the first one that meets the requirements but I did not have any
other devices mapped to the client other than the internal ones. The question
is why it took too long ( around 3 hrs to finish pkg installation) whereas the
second one took only 53 min?
Thanks
Abdel Jalal

It works now but it took very long to finish the installation. I wonder if it's
a network problem or client issue
Well, to make it easier of us to guess you might describe:
1) how long is very long?
2) how many packages you are installing?
3) where your client is wrt where the repo is?
