Solaris Volume Manager packages installation fails
During the OS installation phase while jumpstarting, the output is as follows for Solaris Volume Manager (see below).
To begin with, why are SUNWmdr and SUNWmdu packages trying to install? They are not mentioned in my Profile file, neither are they included in CORE OS. Is this a bug and has anyone found a fix to it?
/tmp/install2gaGwn/checkinstall4gaGwn: /tmp/sh68390: cannot create

Installation of <SUNWmdr> failed.

Thanks in advance,

p.s. This is happening while installing Sol9 sparc 04/2004 version (CORE) on Blade100, V480 and V240 machines.

Unfortunately, this is a bug in the Sun jumpstart process.
You will have to install the same packages in a postinstall phase.
This bug has been there for years.
It is fixed in the latest Solaris 9 cdroms dated 09/04.
I know of no other fix except the latest cdroms.
It is also fixed in Solaris 10.
Solaris 8 even the most recent cdroms have the bug.
This bug only appears in a jumpstart. It works fine in a cdrom install. I haven't investigated why the jumpstart from a jumpstart server fails, but installing the package in a postinstall phase works.
I recommend that you download the latest Solaris 9 cdroms if it is Solaris 9 that is having the problem. For Solaris 8, postinstall phase is your only option.
I don't remember this bug in Solaris 7.

Any idea how to fix this ? Ive jumped a lot of machines using this jumpstart server using JET, always using the SDS product from JET, it always worked well, until I tried to jump this v210 recently acquired and firmware updated.
I got those errors and have no clue how to fix this .. :
