ERROR: Could not load the media (/cdrom) - Solaris unattended

nitin · July 3, 2015, 8:33am

Hey Guys,

I've downloaded a fresh solaris (from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris10/downloads/index.html)
dvd image and I am trying with the default jumpstart templates (except
jumpstart-provision, which has just one line for now). Whether,
jumpstart-provision has one line mentioned below or the default entries,
the installation fails.

Following are my /etc/exports entries on the foreman server.

/export/Solaris
*(ro,sync,no_root_squash,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,anonuid=0)
/export/Solaris/jumpstart *(ro,sync,no_root_squash,crossmnt,anonuid=0

the install.input get populated as follows.

cat install.input

install_type initial_install#

And on console, following are boot logs.

Well, never mind. I exported ISO mounted directory directly for the
installation and it has worked like a charm.

Just for the side note, I have tried manual/script way of configuring the
unattended solaris config documented at

http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/Solaris_Unattended_installation

Both didn't work for me.

Thanks,

Nitin
