Solaris 9/V120/Jumpstart/Flash Archives ERROR: Could not stop the extraction

Post by Glo Wo » Sun, 21 Sep 2003 00:01:42



Hello,

I am using a Solaris 8 jumpstart server with a Solaris 9 image to
build out Solaris 9 Sun V120 servers. I created a flash archive of a
completely built-out Solaris 9 V120 server. I placed the flash file on
the jumpstart server.

Using "boot net - install" on the client, everything installs fine
until the very end of the archive (1.5GB file) it gives the following
error and then exits to a root prompt:

ERROR: Could not stop the extraction
ERROR: Could not extract Flash archive
ERROR: System installation failed

Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas what to check for?

Thank you in advance.

Solaris 9/V120/Jumpstart/Flash Archives ERROR: Could not stop the extraction

This was the result of the Flash image being over 2gb in size. Once the image
size was re-created with a size smaller than 2gb, it worked fine.

1. HELP: Jumpstarting with flash archive returns system installation errors

I am installing a jumpstart with flash archive. Jumpstart runs through
the software installation and customization, but failed right after
the archive extraction with a system installation error. I've checked
all the rules, sysidcfg, profiles, dfstab, hosts, bootparam and ethers
files. Where else could have caused these errors?
