CPU & Memory Solaris Re-installation failure
Hello Community.

I had installed solaris 5.10 OS on an X86 server using a custom-jumpstart installation program and it was performed successfully.

Due to some issues, i had to go for reinstallation using the same jumpstart but this time it failed giving below error.

Code:
Starting Solaris installation program...

I tried checking the fdisk of disk-0 on which the installation is failing and it has below output:

Code:
format>fdisk
             Total disk size is 36472 cylinders
             Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks

                                               Cylinders

          1       Active    Solaris2          1  36350    36350    100

Please help in resolving this. Smilie

You need create a clinet profile, something like this

Code:
 
install_type initial_install

system_type standalone
cluster SUNWCprog
package SUNWaccr add
package SUNWaccu add
partitioning explicit
filesys c0t3d0s0 512 /
filesys c0t3d0s1 2048 /var
filesys c0t3d0s2 all overlap
filesys c0t3d0s3 2048 swap
filesys c0t3d0s4 1024 /usr
filesys c0t3d0s5 free /local

Than installation will pass without any problems.
