...done differently or better. One other thing that came up during getting all this running: Gary Law''s packages register themselves in Solaris 10 SMF fine when the system is already up and running, but the lack of a running svc.configd means they don''t register themselves in a Jumpstart. I''ve hacked around this by symlinking his manifest under /var/svc, but is there any way to detect running in a Jumpstart and modify the svcadm command accordingly? -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University

Hello, I don't know how off the wall this question will be, but first let me say that I've found your buildpkg.sh script very useful in creating an OpenSSH package for use on my Solaris systems. Currently I'm trying to set up a fully automated JumpStart system at my workplace, and I'm realizing that the 'postinstall' script (and possibly some of the other install scripts) won't work cleanly from within a JumpStart install. Do you know if anyone, perhaps yourself, have tried to make this work? I've given it a few tries myself, b...

I have just upgraded my jumpstart server to S10 u2 b9a. It is an Ultra 10 with two 120GB EIDE drives. The second drive (disk1) is new, and has u2b9a installed on a slice, with most of the space in slice 7 for the ZFS pool I created pool1 on disk1, and created the filesystem pool1/ro (for legacy reasons). I them moved my data fr...

Anyone have idea how to create ZFS pool and volumes during jumstart instalation ? (I''m using JumpStart Enterprise Toolkit) kloczek

...the iso. Then I wanted to run setup_install_server , but this failed: bash-3.00# ./setup_install_server /export/sol_xen/ -bash: ./setup_install_server: cannot execute binary file -bash-3.00# So I create a tar file to copy over all files to export/sol_xen/ Then I tried to start and install via jumpstart, using my main "initial jumpstart configuration". Install succeeded although I got some strange warnings during install: X_small.cpio.bz2 is not a bzip2 file: file ./Tools/Boot/X_small.cpio.bz2 ./Tools/Boot/X_small.cpio.bz2: data bunzip2 X_small.cpio.bz2 bunzip2: X_small.cpio.bz2 i...

...all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the changelog since version 3.73 it supports the "-solaris" option which passes the dhcp information to the kernel. Looking online people been having this problem since 2007. I'm pretty sure it should be fi...

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments specified their as well or whether i...

I have zfs on my base T5210 box installed with LDOMS (v.1.0.3). Every time I try to jumpstart my Guest machine, I get the following error. ERROR: One or more disks are found, but one of the following problems exists: - Hardware failure - The disk(s) available on this system cannot be used to install Solaris Software. They do not have a valid label. If you want to use the...

I'm trying to get Knowledge Adventure's Jumpstart Preschool to run under wine 0.9 on debian stable. According to <http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=801> this program works flawlessly. But when I try it, it runs until I get just past the introduction and then a sudden crash. Fortunatly it keeps a log and the log says: MIDI driver err...

Folks; During a jumpstart (2nd boot) of a Sun Fire 240 with Solaris 10 Update 3 (11/06), I noticed the following message; Jun 27 11:43:33 first fbt: NOTICE: cannot instrument return of fd_intr at 7b7d6278: non-canonical return instruction Kernel level was Generic_118833-33. Jumpstart was conducted using the standard JE...

...don't want to fork up $$$ for a separate Windows machine for my kid so I've decided to see if I can run any of the popular brain-rot software under WINE (Is it "WINE" or "Wine" or "wine"?) on a Linux 2.4.18 kernel. My first project is a vintage 1995 version of JumpStart Kindergarten. Seeing this thing actually start up with sound just blew me away at first. It's been more than a year since I last tried wine and the stability has come a long way! Well, now on to the problem.... The sound cuts off after the first few waves are played. I turned on --debugmsg...

I'm poking through Solaris documentation trying to figure out how to make it installable via our PXE server and, as with many things Solaris, I'm hitting walls of completely foreign procedures and setups. Has anyone managed to do this before? I'm trying to set Solaris 11.3 up.

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

I was trying to think of a way to set compression=on at the beginning of a jumpstart. The only idea I''ve come up with is to do so with a flash archive predeployment script. Has anyone else tried this approach? Thanks, Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/attachments/2...

With the release of the Nevada build 90 binaries, it is now possible to install SXCE directly onto a ZFS root filesystem, and also put ZFS swap onto a ZFS filesystem without worrying about having it deadlock. ZFS now also supports crash dumps! To install SXCE to a ZFS root, simply use the text-based installer, after choosing "Solaris Express" from the boot menu on the DVD. DVD download

I''ve upgraded my system from ufs to zfs (root pool). By default, it creates a zvol for dump and swap. It''s a 4GB Ultra-45 and every late night/morning I run a job which takes around 2GB of memory. With a zvol swap, the system becomes unusable and the Sun Ray client often goes into "26B". So I removed the zvol swap and now I have a standard swap partition. The

Hi. Solaris packages created by buildpkg.sh don't create privsep user or group and sshd won't start until they are created (or privsep is disabled): ## Executing postinstall script. starting /usr/local/sbin/sshd...

...s naming convention would be OPENssh for package 2) Need to add the "sed" edit of X11Forwarding for ssh_config also 3) I prefer sym links as default (I suppose thats personal) 4) Need to provide "response" file so that dont need interaction to install!! - I do all install via jumpstart scripts etc. otherwise you get: Adding package OPENssh.... Interactive request script supplied by package pkgadd: ERROR: request script did not complete successfully Installation of <OPENssh> was suspended (interaction required). No changes were made to the system. cheers Jim
