Solaris 10 x86 JumpStart install not working

I'm working with several Compaq DL380 servers.
I've installed Solaris 10 x86 3/05 onto DL380 #1, and created a 3GB servername.flar Flash Archive of that system.
I've moved that .flar file to a local web server. I can bring it up in any host's browser on the local subnet, and am able to download the .flar file.
Now, on DL380 #2, I can install Solaris from CDs and open Mozilla and download the 3GB .flar file to /tmp. So, it is reachable. However, if I do a re-install, and this time specify a JumpStart install via HTTP, entering the URL that works, the install program tells me that it can't find a Flash Archive there. I'm entering the URL as http:/10.20.30.40/servername.flar, where 10.20.30.40 is the local web server. This is the same URL that works on other local hosts. (i.e. going to http:/10.20.30.40/ brings up the list of files, and a right-click on servername.flar gives you the option to download it, which I've tried and it does work - it takes a few hours, but it works)
I tried HTTPS first and when I encountered this issue I reconfigured the web server for just HTTP. Then I thought the Flash archive must require a .flar filename extension (I had originally called it servername.archive) so I created a new Flash archive with a .flar extension - servername.flar.
So, the same system, when installed from CDs, can access the web server and download the .flar file, but when re-installing and specifying the same URL it can't find it. I'm giving the DL380 #2 the same IP, same netmask, etc.. when doing the re-install.
I can't think of anything else to try. Any ideas?
thanks!

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart installing from cd instead of install server

    Hi all,
    I am building a Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart server and was able to jump the client to a certain point. The jump appears to be running but for some reason stops after the first CD ( very peculiar considering the jumpstart is automated). After watching the jump, I discover that the install is using my CD to install rather than from the install server. It is, however, getting the sysidcfg info, rules and profiles from my install server. I booted from CD and then selected Custom Jumpstart to install via the network. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Here is my add_install_client command:
    /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06/Solaris_10/Tools/add_install_client -s server1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06 -c server1:/jumpstart -p server1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg host1 i86pc
    Here is the output from that command:

  • Solaris X86 Jumpstart slow

    I'm trying to jumpstart a Sun x4240 and during the boot up when it runs the install-discovery script, the server goes very very slow. It will eventually move past this part, but only after many hours. The server has 4 disks, which I have setup on the raid controller as JBOD's, we are not using the RAID functions of the card at all.
    It seems the longest time is taken when running the the the script /boot/solaris/bin/create_diskmap, which is mostly this:
    /sbin/biosdev 2> /dev/null | while read diskno diskpath
    do
    devname=`/bin/ls -l /dev/rdsk/*p0 | /bin/grep $diskpath | /bin/nawk '{ print $9 }'`
    ctdname=`echo $devname | /bin/sed "s#/dev/rdsk/##" | /bin/sed "s#p0##"`
    grubdisk=`echo $diskno | /bin/sed "s/0x8//"`
    echo "$grubdisk $ctdname $diskpath" >> "$GRUBDISKMAP"
    done
    Then once it gets past this part (many hours) it hangs again around this part:
    # x86 config cleanup logic
    if [ -x /usr/sbin/install.d/atconfig ]; then
         /usr/sbin/install.d/atconfig
    fi
    Atconfig is described thusly:
    Besides ON changes there are changes needed in the
    Install consolidation. When you boot the Solaris CD/DVD,
    the atconfig binary is run that searches the disk for
    kernel/misc/sysinit file and copies this to
    /tmp/root/kernel/misc/sysinit so the
    svc_serial.c code from Suninstall can try to preserve the
    hostid during an upgrade and even an install. We need
    to modify this code to also search for /etc/hostid and preserve
    it. However, for older systems we also need to search for
    kernel/misc/sysinit for those systems that have hostid stored
    there, and convert the hostid in sysinit into a hostid in /etc/hostid.
    There was no contract between ON and Install for sysinit;
    we now have a contract in place between the two consolidations
    for Install's use of /kernel/misc/sysinit and /etc/hostid.
    The server installs fine during a normal DVD install. I'm not sure what else to do on this. If anyone has any guidance that would be great.

    Yes... I've seen and used the grub -b switches for input-device and output-device and this does change the way certain things work. However, this does not redirect input and output solely to the console, as you would, lets say, any sparc box. I start a jumpstat process, tell it to go to the console, and it hangs and waits for input from the VGA device. Right now, I have an odd interaction going on between the ILOM webgui redirection and the console. I can't login through the webgui and reboot the box through the console, nor can I hit CTRL+N to get it to boot off the network when I have the ILOM Webgui redirected to my keyboard. But when it boots off the virtual CD, or if I use the console to get into the BIOS, then and only then can I use my keyboard in the ILOM Webgui.
    There is some sort of odd interaction between the console and that stupid VGA port on the ILOM that is not explained in ILOM docs that I have read. And that is what this post is trying to figure out. When you jumpstart a sparc box, you have total control from the console. This is not the case on x86.
    Please re-read my other post before you comment on double posting. Both are about x86 jumpstart. One is about console redirection (this post). The other post is asking about getting jumpstart NOT to go through an interactive install through the -b switches. Two separate issues.

  • NCM 1.5 fresh install - Not working...

    Fresh install of NCM 1.5 and launching it is not working. The documentation was not helpful (Getting Started, User Guide, etc.) and did not have any troubleshooting. Where are the logs located? Anyone been through this before?
    Basically, I install and update to SP1. After reboot I launch the browser to go to Admin Settings and it says page cannot be displayed Thanks for any help.

    Hey Michael,
    What platform?  Solaris, Windows, Redhat?
    What are your server specs (CPU, RAM, disk)
    Are you using the embedded mySQL database or going with external Oracle or MS SQL Server?
    Could you install NCM 1.5 fresh and then try to access the system without installing SP1 first?
    You want to see that you're accessible on the base product...  Get another account in there besides admin.  Maybe add a device or two (but don't go crazy).  Once you've validated the base functionality, then an upgrade to SP would be good.
    We need to see if this is an issue with NCM 1.5 (FCS) on your platform or with SP1...
    On Solaris install logs go to /opt/CWNCM and /opt/CWNCM/server/logs
    Should be in similar base directories on Windows.

  • Install not working (ver 10.1, firefox, Win7 64)

  • Seamless Install not working for installing Air runtime

    hi - is anyone else having this problem today? it was working perfectly for me yesterday but no joy today. The air.swf is still loading in correctly and works fine if you already have the Air runtime installed. But once it tries to install the runtime, you get "A download error occurred. Try to download again?" I've checked it on a couple of different air app sites and its not working anywhere. Anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions about how to fix it? Thanks

    The issue is no longer happening. It continued for most of Wednesday but I haven't experienced the problem since then. Thanks for looking into it. Caitriona

  • 10.4.3 Server Install not working on Quad2.5!

    A customer purchased a Quad 2.5 and a copy of OSX Server retail. The Quad requires 10.4.5, Apple does not seem to have a new install of Server. (10.4.3 is all I can find) Any suggestions? I am thinking of installing on an older G5, as a stand alone server, and then installing the updates and imaging over to the Quad. Anyone tried this before?
    TIA,
    Quad 2.5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   SERVER

    On the Mac OS X Server installation disk, open the folder Other Installs and then double-click the item MacOSXServerInstall.mpkg inside; this will convert an existing Mac OS X client install to Mac OS X Server, and can be done on a system where Mac OS X Server cannot be installed directly. If this is done on an Intel Mac, the resulting configuration cannot be updated any further and Software Update will not work. More information is available in this article.

  • CS4 Install not working. Laptop crashed. New download link sent yesterday. Downloaded, but install will not work on new laptop. Help?

    Laptop crashing. Purchased new. Had 30 day free trial of CS4. Activated and used that.

    Second and subsequent attempts result in getting to the "Cancel/Install" screen. Message says "Preparing to install" but nothing happens for a significant amount of time.
    Please advise. How do I complete the install? I do need to use this software very, very soon.

  • Installed new hard drive, mail re-install not working properly...

    Hi - I replaced the hard drive in my laptop. Before doing that, I backed up my mail folder and my mail preferences folder to a DVD. Now, after installing OSX on the new hard drive, I've copied the file / folder onto the new drive, but mail isn't working properly. It keeps giving me the "welcome" screen instead of just starting up. It wants me to put in my email addresses, etc. Seems like there's a switch somewhere in the OS that tells it this is the first time its been run. If I go through the process, it still doesn't get my preferences right.
    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
    The files / folders I'm copying are:
    - Home > Library > Mail
    - Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist
    thanks,
    dave

    Problem was not with mail but with Toast and the DVD I burned using it - arggh.

  • Adobe install not working - PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, I seem to be having trouble installing the updated Adobe Flash Player verison.
    I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.233 for Firefox 11.0 (x86 en-us) and when I try downloading the file I recieve one of two error messages.
    This is the first one 
    Opening install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe
    C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\Temp\DjHhSRiS.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
    Try again later, or contact the server administrator.
    The odd time I get pass this part of the problem but then when I try to run the installation this window pops up.
    Host
    Certificate authentication failed, please re-install to correct the problem.
    I've tried countless times over the past 12 or so hours (most over a 2-3 hour stretch mind you) but I always get the same messages.
    I even restored my system so I could have my previous version of Adobe Flash Player back so I could view some videos on YouTube to see if I could solve the problem through that.
    I have also tried installing Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.233 for IE (I'm not sure what version I have, I think 9) but it also won't download from there. It says the installation has been interrupted. I saw on another help site someone posted that you should enable Adboe PDF Link Helper when installing the flash player for IE but I did that and the installation still wouldn't complete.
    I'm not sure what else I should try and do.
    I would really appreciate some help on this.
    Thank you.
    UPDATE: I tried downloading Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.233 on another laptop to see if I coulnd transfer the file over on a USB Key however I got the same error message on that laptop as well. I was using IE on the second latop and wanted to try it for Firefox but that laptop did not have Firefox installed. Now that this message has appeared on a second computer could this mean that the majority of people are having problems updating to this flash version?
    UPDATE #2: I've also uploaded a picture of the Open File - Security window that pops up before it allows me to run the installation (or attempt too). It's the bottom of the window that catches my attention, it says "This file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies it's publisher."  I don't understand why it would say that if I'm downloading straight from Adobe's website.
    Any thoughts?

  • Trying to get Win 7 64 installed, not working

    I am trying to get Win 7 64 installed. I have my dvd (downloaded a authorized version from Microsoft partners group, legal copy, we use it for other installs all the time). I imaged it to a dvd, should be all set.
    Both Mac and Win side see the DVD. I go to my bootcamp utility, and go through that process. I am setting it up on my solid state drive that I just put into my CD slot. The DVD drive is now in an external housing hooked up VIA USB.
    I then tell it to continue to format my new HD, and start the instal. It restarts, my DVD drive spins up and starts running. Then a gray screen comes up with the Apple in the middle. It then flashes, every now and then.
    Can any of you give me some ideas? I have spent hours on this so far.
    Thanks,

    If you use Apple Disk Utility to burn the ISO, it won't work properly unless burned at reduced slowest speed 2x. Common and what I would consider "well known" but not documented, not put in the PDF guide in writing.
    Sometimes it even boots and installs but bad install and fails. So in a way you were lucky it wouldn't start.

  • Adobe Acrobat X Unattended Install not working

    I created and Windows bundle to install Acrobat X via a custom msi and I removed the "qn" switch. I used the Acrobat customizer to customize the install, to include unattended install but show progress bar and prompt for reboot.
