Adding packages to custom Jumpstart installation

Hi,
I'm trying to add some new packages from the EA distribution to my custom Jumpstart installation. I've included said packages in the Jumpstart profile copied them into the install server "Product" directory (where all the other OS packages are located), updated .order and created appropriate entries for each new package in .packagetoc.
This worked fine for DiskSuite (the SUNWmdr, SUNWmdu etc. packages now install along with the SUNWCreq cluster during the initial Jumpstart) but the SunScreen packages create a "WARNING: Unknown package" error.
What have I forgotten?
Thanks,
Mike

Diskette is uncommon to use.
Generally you configure custom jumpstart with the rules file and sysidcfg files on the jumpstart server.
When you run add_install_client, you may need to refer to the directory that contains the rules file and the sysidcfg file.

Tecra A8 PTA83E - Value Added Package installation

Tosiba Tecra A8 PTA83E
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate X64
I've been unable to install the Toshiba Value Added Pack (vap-vista-1011btn-en) or any version before it. I have spoke to Tosh tech support on numerous occasions and they always promise Customer Support will respond to the query, they never do.
Toward the end of the installation, whilst it is running the "Computing space requirements" process an error dialogue box pops containing "ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLVALZ_MESSAGE". The only option available is "ok" and when this is selected the install rolls back and the finish screen says "The wizard was interrupted before TOSHIBA Value Added Package could be completely installed".
I am, as I am sure you can understand, VERY frustrated with this problem. I purchased (the very expensive) Vista Ultimate as Toshiba claim this Laptop is Vista ready, and it may well be, but the drivers and software provided are not. I am also having problems with:
Bluetooth
Config Free Utility
WinBIOS updater
Sound Driver
Graphics Driver
I will save these problems for another thread as I would like to deal with these problems one at a time.
Thanks in advance for any help given/offered.

Hi
You are running the 64bit version of Vista???
Im not very surprised that you are not able to install the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package.
All the drivers, tools and utilities are designed for Vista 32bit version!!
In my knowledge the 32bit drivers dont run on the 64bit Vista OS!
Regarding the ID ERR NOTINSTALLVALZ MESSAGE error message;
It seems the BIOS update could solve this issue.
This was reported in different threads here in the Toshiba forum!!!

Solaris 10 x86 custom jumpstart pxe/dhcp install problem

Ok, I have a custom jumpstart server installed and working (sort of...) when installing onto just a single client. It works perfect. It installs, reboots and comes up just fine. BUT...
The DHCP portion of the server has 230 addresses allocated from an private IP block.
The problem is, when i try to custom jumpstart 20 servers at the same time, the PXE portion times out and fails on all of the clients.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your answers.
Yes, both machines have the same hardware exactly. Finally, I could find where the problem was.
The file bootenv.rc, for some reason that I don't know, was corrupted: In it there was a correct line with bootpath variable correctly defined, but, at the end of the file, there was another line setting the bootpath variable to a long and incoherent string of chars. Booting in failsafe, mounting the system in /a, and removing that stupid line from the bootenv.rc, solved the problem.

Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1E - How to install the Value added package?

Hi there
I have tried updating the value added package on my machine I followed the instructions and removed my previous version and even cleaning the pc with ccleaner and running tune up utilites 2009 but every time i go to install the new value added package i get the same message remove previous version first in the add and remove programmes list.
I have removed this checked and double checked in add and remove and it is no where to be found but still no success installing the new software.
Can anyone help me resolve this matter?
Thanks

Have you restarted your notebook after removing VAP from the system?
I have updated VAP on several notebooks and have never noticed something like this.
After removing VAP from the system new version was always installed properly.
I can imagine something is still in registry.
You can check it and try to remove manually.
Search all entries for Toshiba Value and remove it.
If this will not work all you can do is to install OS again using recovery image. After clean installation remove VAP again, restart your notebook and install latest version.

Custom jumpstart Solaris 10 5/09 going interactive

Been trying to do a custom jumpstart for Solaris 10 5/09 SPARC and keep getting into interactive mode.

security_policy=NONE
root_password=2KF8gF8gF8gF8
name_service=NONE
timeserver=localhost
sysidnfs4=gomonarch.com
Anyone have a similar experience with this release?

This release like the previous one require updating "check" script for rules.ok from this release. The notes also indicate your host should have the latest firmware (prom) release. I'd make sure the blade 100 is supported. double check your entries for this host in bootparams to assure you removed the old and re-added this release. Mostly I'd "boot net -v install" so you can see the verbose output which should show you the issue just before dumping you into the menu. I have installed this release via normal jumpstart in V240 and T2000 clients with no issue. However I have an upgrade from 8/07 that fails when checking diskspace so I can't say upgrades work. From your description it almost seems like it's not finding the sysidcfg at all but your verbose boot will show all the details.
good luck, JB

Custom Arch Installation?

I'm interested in doing a custom Arch installation disk for my office, with all of the needed packages that we want by default. Is there a way I can get my hands on the installation program to modify it?

Yeah thats sort of what I'm talking about but I still have the same question as the other person did.
But i wanna know if i can use this way to create a linux distribution which based on arch?
Mainly I want to learn how that portion of the install cd is done and because it would just be cool to show off around the office.

How to use variants and/ or adding packages in Ulticap?

Hi,
Can anyone please explain me a bit what "Variants" are for in Ultiboard 2001's Ulticap?
Recently I was rearranging my personal libraries in Ulticap and started to experiment with adding packages to symbols. (in order to reduce the number of seperate shapes).
In a symbol properties tab you can add Ultiboard packages and set one of those as the default one. Expecting when in Ulticap placing the symbol that I would get a list of the "available packages" with the default one on top. But unfortunately still a one-line dialog stil is shown with the a question mark or the default package already filled in (and ready to be ok-d or re-entered).
Exporting a schematic from Ulticap to Ultiboard and open the properties dialog of a component that I gave multiple packages in Ulticap still doesn't show the additional packages (to choose from).
So I started to wonder why we can add packages to shapes in Ulticap. I can't find any useful explanation about it in the binder that came with ultiboard 2001, nor I can find anything useful in docs that came with previous versions.
Anyway, I also ran into the "Variants" tab when opening the properties dialog of a shape in Ulticap. It might be something useful for my current issue but unfortunately again there's no reasonable explanation to find in the docs about what they are and what they are used for; just "how to add or change" is explained but not the slightest bit of a brief introduction.
The main goal for me is e.g. having a shape "_ELCO" and on the run select the right package since elco's have a diversity of sizes and I find it unpractical to fill up the library with seperate shapes for elco's of different sizes. Otherwise the lists in the library get too long for browsing through them when placing an other component.
So a brief explanation of the use of adding packages and what variants are for would be very helpful to me.
Cheers,
Roberto

hi,
You cannot use the logical and or condition together at the same time in SQL statement. Sachin is correct while using the and and or in the same condition. You can get the data using or condition in SQL statement, and then use the delete statement of internal table using the end condition. please find the following code for the same.
select *
from dtab
where cond1 eq 'A1'
or cond2 eq 'A2'.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
delete itab where cond1 eq 'A1' and 'A2'.

Package into a native installer fails on Linux (Flex SDK 4.5) : "Invalid AIR file"

Hi,
We've moved our application to compile against the 4.5 SDK.
We're compiling it with Flash Builder (on mac) into an air file and as our application is using NativeProcess API, we're packaging it on each platform into a native installer with the following command (linux example) : adt -package -target native app.deb app.air
We think we fall into the same issue ashttp://forums.adobe.com/message/3271944#3271944 but for the 4.5 DSK.
On Linux it used to work with the following environment (env1):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.1.0.16076 + Adobe Air SDK 2.5.0
It stops to work when we upgrade to the new Flex SDK (env2):
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Java Sun 1.6.0_24
- Flex SDK 4.5.0.20967 (with the default embeded Adobe Air SDK 2.6)
The faut message is "Invalid AIR file" and nothing is logged in the log file (/home/<username>/.appdata/Adobe/AIR/Logs/Install.log).
1) The .air file is installing correctly on env2 (without the support of the NativeProcess as expected)
2) We also tried to compile the project directly on env2 :
amxml app.mxml
adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore cert.p12 app.air app-app.xml air.swf
The .air file is installing fine but the packaging into a native process fails in the same way...
3) We tried to package a native installer of our .air file on env1 and it works!!! (the installed application seems to work fine also on env2!!!)
Are we missing something or does it seems to be a bug of the Flex SDK 4.5?
Are there some restrictions to package a native installer with the Flex SDK 4.1 a air app build with the Flex SDK 4.5 ?
Thanks in advance,
Mich

Hi,
Finally we figure out how to solve the issue.
The packaging into native .deb installer fails as explain above because with the hole Flex SDK 4.5 (adt -version told 2.6.0.1920).
The packaging is successfull if only Air SDK 2.6 is install.
What is strange that both adt seems to be the same "2.6.0.1920" (found with "adt -version").
Can someone from the Adobe dev team explain it?
I suppose as the Flex SDK is not available for the Linux platform, the download only contains the Air SDK for Windows and Mac OS as opposed to the specific download of the Air SDK for te Linux platform...
Thanks,
Mich

MS Outlook on O365 versus FingerPrint software or Value Added Package

Hello all, I have problem - after installing FingerPrint software or Value Added Package some functionality in MS Outlook 2010 on MS O365 system stops working like planning share meetings. I mean so problem in the Security - this application close some ports or something...
You have a solution or idea?
Alex

Removing old and installing new VAP is definitely not risky. I have done this many times without any problems.
The latest version is much better and the flash cards are shown much faster than with old version. I can really recommend you to remove preinstalled version and install the latest one.

Solaris 10 U6 jumpstart installation always goes into interactive mode desp

While doing the Solaris 10 U6 jumpstart installation, it is going into interactive mode for netmask.
This is the sysidcfg file configuration being used :
bash-3.00# cat /export/home/iserver/jumpstart/donau1/sysidcfg
system_locale=en_US
name_service=none
network_interface=ce2
{hostname=donau1 netmask=255.255.252.0 ip_address=10.50.57.24 protocol_ipv6=no default_route=10.50.56.1}
security_policy=none
terminal=vt100
timezone="MET"
timeserver=10.50.57.214
nfs4_domain=dynamic
root_password=5YcgZqC0krYjo
bash-3.00#
Here the network interface specified is "ce2" and the netmask is as shown above. Still, we observe the problem all the times.
and I have seen the following messages on the screen
Attempting to configure interface ce3...
Skipped interface ce3
Attempting to configure interface ce2...
Configured interface ce2
ip_arp_done: init failed
ifconfig: setifflags: SIOCSLIFFLAGS: ce2: Cannot assign requested address

Using sysid configuration file 10.50.57.214:/export/home/iserver/jumpstart/donau1/sysidcfg
Search complete.
Discovering additional network configuration...
Completing system identification...
after this it is going into interactive mode and prompting for netmask . After providing the netmask, installation goes through successfully.
so please suggest me some solution to avoid it going into interactive mode.

I have seen this too over the years and it ultimately comes down to something innate:
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Try and use interface ce0.
2. Check default route on both jumpstart server and client.
3. The arp cache may need to be flushed on the Jumpstart server.
4. Use snoop and see what happens during the actual RARPing phase between the server and host.
5. Switch the order in the sysid config file as indicated below:
system_locale=en_US
name_service=none
network_interface=ce2
{hostname=donau1 ip_address=10.50.57.24 netmask=255.255.252.0 protocol_ipv6=no default_route=10.50.56.1}
security_policy=none
terminal=vt100
timezone="MET"
timeserver=10.50.57.214
nfs4_domain=dynamic

Please note I blanked your root password. Let me know if this helps.

Adding fields to custom idoc type

Hi,
i have a query regarding adding fields to custom idoc type.
To add fields to custom idoc type we are trying to cancel the release from we30, but we are facing error that 'The release of basis type cannot be reset'
When we are trying to cancel release from we31we are facing error 'Error while ressting release of segment z type'.
Kindly suggest the solution to add fields in basic idoc type.
Thanks & regards,
Farheen.

Reason that you are getting these errors is that you cannot cancel
the release of an extension made in previous version . Instead you have to create a new extension.
1.It is not possible to change a segment definition which is released in a
lower release.
2.You must create a new segment definition for the new release e.g. 620 with a new segment
field with the appropriate length.
In transaction WE20, outbound parameters, you can specify
the "segment release in IDoc type" for the communication.
Please read the F1 help of this field for further information.
3.For your own segments you can define a new version of the segment
tcode WE31 -> Add Version
Thanks!

What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer?

Hi,
I'm developing Adobe Air application. I need to digitally verify the application to add the publisher's name with the product. I did a little research and came to know that Symantec, Thawte, Comodo, Comodo-Tucows, Digicert, Godaddy and couple of others are doing this.
Yes. I'm talking about the Code Signing Certificate. My question is, What code signing certificate has to be added for Adobe Air Native Installer? The reason is, The native installer will have an extension .exe ( Windows ) and .dmg ( MAC OS X ).
These guys are providing certificate for Adobe Air. For instance, If the application is exported using Native Installer in Windows, The application will have an .exe extension. For this, Can I use the same Adobe Air code signing certificate or Should I go for Microsoft Autheticode ( for .exe ) certificate?
Thanks in advance.

I think comodo code signing certificate is one of the nice option to be added for Adobe Air, as i have seen comodo code signing certificate in other adobe programs. Recently i bought comodo code signing from https://cheapsslsecurity.com/comodo/codesigningcertificate.html, to sign one of my adobe application and it works fine, you can use microsoft authenticode technology with comodo code signing.

ARP/RARP Timed out error during Jumpstart installation

Hello
Good day to you.
One of my JS client machine throwing "ARP/RARP" Timed out error when I try to rebuild the box thro' Jumpstart installation.
The box was earlier installed thro' Jumpstart method and was crashed recently so trying to rebuild it again.
To make a note, my Jumpstart server (Boot, Install & Config - on same machine) and this client box are in different subnet.
Looks the client machine broadcast not reaching the Jumpstart server or something to do with network config.
After issuing "boot net - install" on ok prompt from the client machine, I am getting the above mentioned error - ARP/RARP Time out.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

The first step in traditional jumpstart is for the SPARC client to gather an IP address from the network via RARP.
The messages indicate that it is not getting a response to this query.
Some possible reasons:
network not working properly
No jumpstart/boot server on local subnet
Jumpstart/boot server not configured for this client
