Thanks Paul for the explanation. You are always there for any help I needed.
Does anybody from caiman group has any other suggestions especially the second question where I am trying to install sparc opensolaris on SAN using the same manifest file I used to install OS? Any specific procedure for sparc? Any help is appreciated Thanks Abdel Jalal ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 6:00 AM To: Jalal, Abdel Cc: [email protected]; Bart Smaalders; Alan Steinberg Subject: Re: [pkg-discuss] SUNWcs missing from repo? 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]<mailto:[email protected]> which related specifically to the AI installer. -paul On 07/27/09 17:39, Jalal, Abdel wrote: Paul, Sorry to bug you again but I have a couple questions: 1- Installation fails if AI doesn't find a Solaris partition.

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?

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? - Bart _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
