Problem flash archive jumpstart

[mahalingam1]

Hi all, I have the following problem with flash archive and jumpstart:

I have installed a JET package with the flash tool on a solaris 10 server.

I created the flash archive via

flarcreate -n test -S -c /several/media
When i try to add this media location via /opt/SUNWjet/bin/add_solaris_location script i get the following message


The directory /several/media does not look like
a Solaris JumpStart image. Please ensure the path given is
the path that was given to the setup_install_server script

on the other hand if i made an image via

/setup_install_server /export/home/prueba/media

i can add this new media location:

./add_solaris_location 10 /export/home/prueba/media

Added Solaris image 10 at the following location:
Media: /export/home/prueba/media


Please anyone can help me???

Thanks in advance and best regards.

After the creation of the archive you have to specify the location of it in the jet template - if you have an existing client template do:

# /opt/SUNWjet/bin/make_template -f -T myclient myclient flash
Adding product configuration information for
+ flash
Updating base_config template specifics
Client template created in /opt/SUNWjet/Templates

Then edit the template and add the entry for:
flash_archive_locations

############
#
# Specify archive locations - you can install more than one, especially
# if you create archives for layered products etc.
#
# Space seperated list of items; each item is of the form...
#
# nfs://10.1.1.11/archives/sample
#

http://www.quakeworld.com/games.flar

#
# locations that specifiy a directory only will default to look for
# an archive called installsvr
#
flash_archive_locations="nfs://*.*.*.*/share/install/flash/myclient.flar"

# /opt/SUNWjet/bin/make_client -f myclient
Gathering network information..

Adding flash specifics to client configuration
FLASH: Modifying client profile for flash install
FLASH: Removing package/cluster/usedisk entries from profile
...
Checking product flash
FLASH: Checking nfs://*.*.*.*/share/install/flash/myclient.flar
--------------------------------------------------------------
Check of client myclient
-> Passed....

Hope that helps

Hi mrjazz the nfs problem is solved but i have another one.


When i launch the make_client script i get:

luna:/opt/SUNWjet/bin> ./make_client -f bubu
Gathering network information..
Client: 10.17.13.242 (10.17.0.0/255.255.240.0)
Server: 10.17.1.16 (10.17.0.0/255.255.240.0, SunOS)
WARNING: no .cdtoc in remote media - might be a boot image
WARNING: no .cdtoc in remote media - might be a boot image

ERROR: is not executable. Please verify this is the correct path to the
ERROR: media.
ERROR:

client_prevalidate returned non-zero exit status (1)


This image is a bootable image for use with JET tool.

As you can see client_prevalidate script returned non-zero exit


if i copy the .cdtoc in the media location the result is the same



Cheers
