I tired to install the flar image using the method explained in this link
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/flash/
I installed 119534-15 patch on the box whose flar image was required. Then created a flar image using
flarcreate -n zfs_flar /flar_dir/zfs_flar.flar
I then installed 124630-26 patch on the miniroot of Solaris 05/09 (update 7) net install image. This was done by unpacking the miniroot using root_archive, patching the miniroot using patchadd and then repacking it back.
Profile for the jumpstart :
install_type flash_install
archive_location nfs <ipaddress>:/<flar_dir_path>/zfs_flar.flar
partitioning explicit
But the jumpstart fails with the following error:
Executing SolStart preinstall phase...
Executing begin script "install_begin"...
Begin script install_begin execution completed.
Processing profile
- Opening Flash archive
ERROR: Could not mount <ipaddress>:/<flar_dir_path>/zfs_flar.flar
ERROR: Flash installation failed
Solaris installation program exited.
Any clues what could be wrong?
I don't know. There's all kinds of reasons a nfs mount might fail. One
think you could is to boot the system from the install image and then
escape out of the install after going through all the configuration
steps (i.e. the questions about name server, routers, etc.). Then try
to do an explicit NFS mount of the flar location (onto /mnt or a
temporary mount point created in /tmp). If it fails, that may be the
source of your problem.
