Using JumpStart to Install LDoms1.1

I am trying to automate the LDoms installtion using the JumpStart server. In the "finish" script I have the following to do LDoms installtion:

Code:
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 process fails during the "unzip" step. It is failing to create the directories /LDoms_Manager-1_1 and the error reported was:

Code:
checkdir error:  cannot create LDoms_Manager-1_1
                 unable to process LDoms_Manager-1_1/XXXXXX

Where XXXXXX is everything underneath it. So the error was repeated for each directory it tried to create there.

It looks permission issue to me but do not know exactly the root cause since I could copy the zip file successfully from the JumpsStart to the server. Hopefully someone can help.

Perhaps you should create the "Packages" directory first.
#mkdir /a/Packages

I tried by creating the directory LDoms_Manager-1_1; so I did not get error for that but got errors for all directories underneath it. They are a lot and not easy to add them all manually in the script. I hope there is solution for this.

Whats' the error that you're getting. Pls post it.
You just need to create the Packages dir. That's all

The error I am getting is

checkdir error: cannot create LDoms_Manager-1_1
unable to process LDoms_Manager-1_1/X/X/X/X/X/X/

Where X/X/X/X/X/X/ is every directory underneath it. So the number of errors I am getting equal the number of directories it tries to create.

try not to use the "-u" option for unzip.
