Solaris jumpstart

[gwexco]

I am attempting to create a Solaris 8 bootable CD. We want to have Tivoli V5.1.5 client installed at the same time. Effectively this is a 'jumpstart' install, all based on CD. I can get everything else installed ok but Tivoli gives me errors.



In my finish script I have;



mkdir -p ${B}/opt/tivoli/tsm/client

cd ${PRODUCT}/Tivoli

pkgadd -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVguid.pkg -R ${B} TIVguid

pkgadd -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmCapi.pkg -R ${B} TIVsmCapi

pkgadd -a ./tsmadmin -d ./TIVsmCba.pkg -R ${B} TIVsmCba



The errors I get are:



CCG0051E The log manager could not read the properties file

/opt/tivoli/guid/tivguid.properties.tivguid 1.1.0 : (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 2002 All

Rights Reserved.

Has anyone else tried using Solaris 'jumpstart' installation and managed to get it to work? I talked with IBM support line and they say 'jumpstart' is not supported!!! :evil:

Maybe a stupid question is /opt mountable and have you tried to change the target path

with pkgadd?

When a package installation runs pre-post cmd the user "install" must exist on the

system where the package is installed .

make sure an entry like this exists in /etc/passwd



install:x:0:1:Install Userid:/tmp:/bin/sh



Hope this helps
