The inability to deploy Solaris 9 Update 7 or lower OS distributions to servers from a Linux management server is usually due to a problem with NFS mounts. To solve this problem, you need to apply a patch to the mini-root of the Solaris 9 OS distribution. The instructions differ according to the management and patch server configuration scenarios in the following table. The patch is not required if you are deploying Solaris 9 Update 8 or later.
