Installation guide
Localized Installation Note
Localized Solaris installer always runs in the EUC or ISO8859 locales. Thus, the install log is
written in EUC or ISO8859 encoding.
Workaround: While performing localized CLI (command line interface) install through a
terminal, the locale on the terminal must be EUC or ISO8859 locale.
SPARC:WAN Boot Installation Fails for Solaris 10 10/09
The installation fails, when installing WAN boot image from Solaris 10 10/09 release. The
following error message is displayed:
boot_file=/wanboot/wanboot.u-137111-04
root_file=/miniroot/miniroot.s10-1008
Workaround: The Solaris 10 10/09 miniroot image must be patched to proceed with the
installation. Perform the following steps to patch a network installation miniroot image:
Note – These steps assume that you have a system on your network that is running the current
Solaris release, and that system is accessible over the network.
1. On a system that is running the current Solaris release, log in as superuser or assume an
equivalent role.
2. Change to the Tools directory of the installation image you created.
# cd install-server-path/install-dir-path/Solaris_10/Tools
install-server-path Species the path to the install server system on your network, for
example, /net/installserver-1.
3. Create a new installation image, and place that image on the system that is running the
current Solaris release.
# ./setup_install_server remote_install_dir_path
remote_install_dir_path Species the path on the current Solaris release in which to
create the new installation image.
This command creates a new installation image on the current Solaris release. In order to
patch this image, you must temporarily place this image on a system that is running the
current Solaris release.
4. On the current Solaris release, unpack the network installation boot archive.
