TCL/Expect Reset Server and Load Solaris
Hello!

I'm having issues getting Solaris to install on a T2000 using an expect script. The jumpstart server works fine to manually issue the commands and we have done many installs this way. I'm lazy and want to reset the OBP password, install Solaris, log in after install, and run some other commands - all using Expect. Basically, plug in console, start the expect script, and plug in power, then do something else. After a couple of hours...badda bing.

Problem is, when I test the expect script, it bombs out during boot net - install when the process gets to bootparamd. On the jumpstart server, a "get file failed" error is generated. After the error, I connect using minicom and issue the boot net command and the install goes ok without an issue. I'm not sure what the script is doing to conflict with bootparamd

Regarding the MMU error, I have swapped out memory twice and installed successfully manually using both sets of memory.

portion of the script in question:

Code:
....
set timeout -1

exp_internal 1

# boot system to install
expect {
    "* ok *" { send "boot net - install\r" }
}

# after install is complete, log in
expect {
    "*console login*" {
         send "username\r"
         sleep 1
         send "password\r"
    }
}

exp_internal 0
.....

The error (truncated):

Quote:

After some more digging, it looks like a NFS issue. Not quite sure how, or if, this correlates with the overall issue.

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
