Solaris

I've set up a jumpstart server on a Ultra 1 with 2 external 9GB hard drives. Below is the contents of the rules.ok file:

Jserver# more rules.ok
hostname jumpme - host_class -
# version=2 checksum=2852

Below is the contents of the profile that I'm using for the test workstation:

Jserver# more host_class

install_type initial_install
system_type standalone
partitioning default
cluster SUNWCall

I'm able to do a jumpstart to a test workstation, an old Sparc 5 with a 2GB internal disk.

The jumpstart completes ok, but when I log onto the workstation and do a “man ls” for example, I get the message “no manual entry for ls”. I've check the /var/sadm/install_data/install_log file, and it shows that SUNWman is part of the group under the “Solaris 8 packages fully installed” listing. However, when I look at the /usr/share/man directory, I see only the man1, man2, man5 subdirectories, and no sman subdirectories.

Here is what the /usr/share/man directory looks like on my jumpstart test workstation:

jumpme% ls
man1 man3 man5

And here is what the /usr/share/man directory looks like on my jumpstart server:

Jserver# ls
entities sman3aio sman3krb sman3proc sman3xcurses man.cf sman3bsm sman3kstat sman3rac sman3xfn man1 sman3c sman3kvm sman3resolv sman3xnet man1m sman3cfgadm sman3layout sman3rpc sman4

sman3 sman3head sman3plot sman3wsreg sman9s

So...What am I missing/doing wrong?

Thanks in advance..

That shouldn´t be normally ...

Your Ultra1 is a sun4u class machine and the sparcstation is a sun4m ...But that shouldn´t matter at all...

Re-"install" the Solaris Distribution to your harddisk. maybe something wicked happend.

Give it a try

I re-copied the Solaris CD twice prior to my posting my original message.

any other suggestions?

Check the package with pkginfo -l SUNWman on your Sparc 5 - see if it shows as completely installed (post # of files). Then check your jumpstart that it is indeed doing a full install with OEM support (make sure the profile you think it's using IS the profile it's using)

It's been solved. When I first set up the jumpstart directory, I copied the first cd, but not the second cd. D'OH!! I copied the second cd last night, ran the jumpstart again and now the man pages work.
