Installation error Solaris 10-u6-ga1

I must be missing something really obvious on the installation of Solaris 10 U6. I've come up against the error message upon manually partitioning, and using UFS. After the install the error is:
Solaris 10 10 software installation partially failed
Solaris 10 packages partially installed
SUNWlur
Then at reboot it loops and loops
If I install using ZFS no problem. Unfortunately I have to use UFS for this install.
I pulled down the sol-10-u6-x86-ga1 dvd and installed on an Vmware to see what I'd get. If I manually setup the drive, it fails to with the same error.
Here is my drive layout both sparc server and vmware(x86)
/ = 10 Gb
swap = 10 Gb
/etc = 10 Gb
/usr = 10 Gb
/var = 10 Gb
/export=remaining drive space.
I'm I missing something obvious?
thanks
bill

There should be more information in the install log about why the one package failed. If you search for the package name in the log you should be able find it. Then that might help determine whether the package can be installed on its own, possibly fixing your reboot issue.

  • Installation error solaris 8

    when i installed solaris 8 , i had got the following error
    error : assertion failure : "bp != 0","devdb.c" line 788
    The root filesystem is not mounted and the configuration assistant has existed prematurely. Boot is unlikely to succeed.
    anybody has experience to fix this error

    Are you booting using the DCA boot floppy? Or are you booting
    directly from CDROM?
    "devdb.c" could be read as a hint at the file "/boot/solaris/devicedb/master", a
    file that is sometimes modified when third party hardware drivers are
    added to solaris. Did you try to add such a third party driver?
    Anyway, if you're booting using the floppy, the message <i>might</i>
    be a hint at some mangled files under the devicedb subdirectory of
    the diskette. In that case prepare a fresh copy of the DCA diskette;
    or boot directly from the "Installation" or "Software 1 of 2" cdrom.

  • Installation Errors on Solaris 8

    Hello.I am attempting to install weblogic server 6.0 on a Solaris 8 system. I have successfully used the installer on Solaris 7, but when I run the 'weblogic600_sol.bin' file on the Solaris 8 machine, I get the error "Error: Cant' find libjava.so.". I searched for libjava.so, and sure enough, I didn't find it, BUT, I already have Java2 SDK version 1.2 as well as 1.3 installed and working fine. Any suggestions? Has anyone else run into this previously?Thanks,Kaile

    There is a bug in install anywhere. Could you try to remove your existing
    JDK? Or, at least make it unaccesible from the command line?

  • How to Add a Physical Interface After Installation in Solaris 10

    How to Add a Physical Interface After Installation in Solaris 10
    Hi Java Specialist,
    I am trying to setup a network interface with the following steps on a new fresh Solaris 10 installation using the instruction titled How to Add a Physical Interface After Installation in Solaris 10 3/05 ONLY from http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/816-4554/esxhb/index.html:
    1. # ifconfig lo0 plumb up
    2. # ifconfig lo0 10.56.8.101 netmask 255.255.240.0. This was the working Windows DHCP environment prior to installing Solaris
    10 on top of it.
    3. # Added saturn to /etc/hostname.lo0.
    4. # Added 10.56.8.101 to /etc/inet/hosts
    5. # Added 10.56.0.0     255.255.240.0 to /etc/inet/netmasks
    6.# reboot
    However, the following errors kept recurring:
    svcs –xv …. unable to qualify my own domain name,
    failed with exit status 69.
    Any idea on what other steps have I missed? I was hoping to only do step 3 – 6 for the change to apply permanently.
    Many thanks,
    Jack

    Hi Java Specialist,... in a Solaris forum?
    1. # ifconfig lo0 plumb upThe loopback connection (your lo0)is NOT a physical interface. There are no hardware components for it. Nor can I think of any reason why it should ever be anything other than the default 127.0.0.1
    Use your favorite Internet search site (such as Google, Bing, Yahoo) to learn more about it.
    2. # ifconfig lo0 10.56.8.101 netmask 255.255.240.0. This was the working Windows DHCP environment ...I have no idea how a nonexistent software construct gets a DHCP address in a MS Operating System, unless you are confusing this with the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" which is an utterly different concept. Again, go see what Google tells you.
    <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    ... completely unrelated to configuring an IP...
    unable to qualify my own domain nameAgain, search the Internet or even search these forums with that string of words.
    Go back through your two most recent posts and read the responses again.
    They seem to both be on the same topic as this new one -- configuring an IP on something.
    How to initialize new IP address on secondary interface permanently
    How to change IP address permanently on Solaris 10
    When you've done all that, then come back and tell us what you are actually trying to do.

  • Need Agent Installer for Solaris (SPARC)

    Hi All,
    I have downloaded Grid Control Agent Installer for Solaris from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agentsoft.html.
    When I tried to extract the zip file, I am getting the following error message.
    "Can not open file. It does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again."
    Even I tried using http://sac.us.oracle.com/download/index.html also but getting the same error.
    Please send me the location if you have,
    Thanks
    Sumathi

    Most commands are identical. Performance analysis, loading all are similar. Tape interaction, creation of tape devices is going to be pretty much the same.
    The differences show up a lot at the hardware level. HBAs aren't usually the same, many drivers (and their quirks) are different between the architectures. If you're debugging connectivity to a tape library, those differences may be critical.
    So you can't get as close as you may want, but I'll bet it would still be helpful.

  • My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

    I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
    Where on earth is Tools anyway?
    When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

    tools is at the top of the apple updater but dont get your hopes up

  • Software Update, 10.6.6 installation error!!

    Hi all, hope someone can help.
    I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5. I upgraded to 10.6.5 recently and had problems with this. When using Software Update, it would download, log out and install only to get an error at the end saying it couldn't install, with no explanation of why. I did some investigation and it boiled down to Safari (one of the updates in the list to install along with 10.6.5) wasn't being replaced. I had to delete Safari from my applications folder before updating. I tried rebuilding permissions and even installed from the installers from the apple download page. but until I deleted Safari from my apps folder it would fail every time.
    Since I assumed that it was a corrupt copy of safari and all other update went ok I assumed I had fixed the problem.
    Now I'm trying to install the update of 10.6.6 via Software Update. and I'm getting the same problems. It downloads, reboots, installs then at the end says that it was not installed because of an error and promps me to restart.
    I have downloaded the update and run it from the desktop and it goes through the install as follows:-
    Installing
    optimizing system
    Moving files
    installation failed.
    It seems that it isn't able to replace existing files on my system with new ones therefore fails the install.
    Has anyone got any ideas? I have repaired permissions with disk utility and tried repairing them while booting from the 10.6.3 system disc, still no joy
    Many thanks

    Worse problem here. I get the installation error then the computer attempts to reboot and I get locked at the gray background apple screen. Tried safe boot power on +SHIFT a status bar comes up and goes 3/4 away across and locks. Running permissions repair from Mac OEM disk set was no help. Had to do a time machine restore. Seems my install error is catastrophic. On the upside time machine works very well.. A bit disappointed with my Windows-esque crash
