I've seen that a system may hang when the SUNWopensslr package
didn't install properly.

Just upgrade the LU packages on your running BE from the install media.
eg.

This is probably because SUNW7zip is missing on the current BE.
Try installing manually SUNW7zip from the cdrom first.

Jim,
It is there:

LOL. You beat me to it. I just figured this out. I have 7zip
installed and I got further this time. However, the script still
produced some errors. Should this concern me?
FYI --- My root is mirrored

It seems that there is a bug[1] in the script so instead of installing
GRUB on submirror /dev/rdsk/c3d0s0, it tried on
/dev/rdsk//dev/rdsk/c3d0s0 which obviously failed.
So, I'd say that GRUB is installed on one part of the mirror only.
You can probably repair it by running installgrub manually b

Hmm. That doesn't sound good.
Does that mean my active mirror now has a messed up GRUB? I thought
this whole LU process was supposed to be "safe". What is the best
approach to make sure my system is bootable at this point? It's
running now, but will it reboot?

I guess I should have known better. I proceeded anyway and now my
system won't boot.
I thought LU was supposed to be "safe" :-( Now I just get a GRUB
command prompt. I have no idea what to do with that. I can boot in
single user mode and mount the various slices, but I don't know what I
I forgot to mention that I initially had run luactivate once the luupgrade was
complete. luactivate seemed to run ok. Then I ran the shutdown -i 6 command
to restart the server. This completely froze the machine. I had no console

Trying to setup and automated install server.
My client , an Virtual box machine HOST network enable, is able to dhcp and get
the boot image.
The problems come when starting the auto-installer SMF which fails with "No
valid AI service found."
