Solaris

I tried both with and without the -u option but got the same result....

what are the permissions for /a?
As what user are you running this script? Did you remove whatever was created earlier and re-try.
If not use the debug mode in your script and provide the output.
Add this line

Code:

#!/bin/ksh -x
ROOT=/a
JUMP=${ROOT}/jump
mkdir ${JUMP}
mount 172.25.135.11:/jumpstart ${JUMP}
# Install LDoms 1.1
cp ${JUMP}/Packages/LDoms_Manager-1_1.zip ${ROOT}
unzip -u ${ROOT}/LDoms_Manager-1_1.zip
${ROOT}/LDoms_Manager-1_1/Install/install-ldm -d none

The user is root, but not sure how to find the permissions for /a. And yes, I tried fresh install several times as this is part of long script that formats the disk, installs OS, patches and miscellaneous like LDoms.

Right now I am using:
#!/bin/sh
Shall I add "-x" to the same line or add a new line with "#!/bin/ksh -x"?

add to the same line.
and get your permissions for /a like this :
#cd /
#ls -l |grep a

I think you need to specify the destination directory:
unzip -u ${ROOT}/LDoms_Manager-1_1.zip -d ${ROOT}/

I think specifying the destination directory was the trick. I just wonder why since the default is to unzip in the same directoy. Anyway, thanks a bunch!

I just noticed that LDoms was not installed siccessfully though! After the files were unzipped, the system tried to install it and came back with this error complaining about / filesystem has 0 free blocks. I might need to change something in the install-ldm script:
