You should then be able to ping the remote host, and then mount the remote NFS handle, and read the archive. That will prove workability.
ping is ok, is I said
Code:
ping tjk-netshare
tjk-netshare is alive
ping tjk-ftp001
tjk-ftp001 is alive
ping 172.28.192.160
172.28.192.160 is alive
After
Code:
ok> boot cdrom -s
when I came to Instalation part:
Code:
q Flash Archive Retrieval Method qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
On this screen you must select a method to retrieve the Flash archive. The
retrieval method depends on where the archive is stored. For example, if
the archive is stored on a tape, select "Local Tape".
Available Retrieval Methods

F2_Continue F5_Cancel F6_Help
I've chosen many times FTP, NFS, Local File methods. All of them gave me 1 error: ERROR: Could not find archive
Even more, I tryed to mount external Hdd (and nfs) manualy :
closed the installation by pressing F5 and entered to the shell.
Code:
mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 /mnt/hdd
cd /mnt/hdd
ls
icr001.flar
and then went back to the installation by entering
Code:
# install-solaris
- Flash Archive Addition -------------------------------------------------------
Please specify the local file path where the Flash archive is located. For
example:
Path: /export/archive.flar
============================================================================
Path: /mnt/hdd/icr001.flar
ERROR: Could not find archive
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F2_Continue F5_Cancel F6_Help
Same ERROR: Could not find archive with manual NFS:
Code:
mount tjk-netshare:/edb4tel/shuhrat /mnt/net
cd /mnt/net
ls
icr001.flar
I suspect the flar install routine is seeing the archive as 'busy' because it's already mounted. The flar recovery routine will try to mount the NFS disk itself. See this Oracle page:

Ofc, I've tryed this method:
"Solaris Istallation" mounted the NFS disk itself, as i described in the post # 10 of this topic.
But it didnt find the flar archive.

Otherwise, perhaps the archive is not as expected. What command did you use to create it?
is everything ok with my command? Here it is:
Code:
# flarcreate -c -n "icr001" -R / -x /mnt /mnt/usb/icr001.flar

Determining the size of the archive...
I have had a look through this thread and must confess I'm a little confused as to why it's proving so trouble some. I'm pretty sure this is something stupid that's being missed, but I do have to tar myself with the "stupid brush" as for the life of me I can't actually see what the problem is.
I've had a look here but there doesn't seem to be any additional information.
When you are attempting this boot from cdrom and install from a from flar image, I'm assuming that you are having success in selection the appropriate install mechanism through the install menu. So selecting NFS or Local does actually go to the next menu, I have had one occasion in the past where it didn't and we were forced for some unknown reason to install the flar on a web server and install it from there.

Hi 2fat2fly,
So selecting NFS or Local does actually go to the next menu, I have had one occasion in the past where it didn't and we were forced for some unknown reason to install the flar on a web server and install it from there.
u r absolutely right! it doesn't go to the next menu after selection. ok, only web server method left will try it.
ok, i copied flar archive to the web server:
when I enter to the browser url:
Code:
http://172.28.193.100/test/icr002.flar
when i put the url to the solaris install, it says ERROR: Could not find archive
