If the remote server does not have the documentation package SUNWsdocs, installing the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1 server layer on a remote machine might fail.
The command es-inst —R /net/remote_server fails when you add the documentation package SUNWpsmd. Because the package SUNWpsmd depends on SUNWsdocs, if SUNWsdocs is missing, the installation exits.
Workaround: Make sure the remote server has the SUNWsdocs package installed before installing the Sun Management Center 3.5 Update 1 documentation.
