CD1 Gets Locked During Server Install Using GUI Installation Utility (6219648)

To work around this problem, you have two main choices.

Workaround: There are two scenarios, depending on your preference.

• Use the command-line installation utility (es-inst) for installing the server layer.

• Use the GUI-based installation utility (es-guiinst) with one of the following three options:

  1. Copy both disks (CD1 and CD2) onto a disk drive locally as explained below.

     CD1 must be copied to <target-directory>/disk1 and CD2 to <target-directory>/disk2.

  2. Load CD1 and CD2 in different CD drives and NFS mount them so that CD1 is mounted on the target host as <mount-directory>/disk1 and CD2 is mounted as <mount-directory>/disk2.

  3. Download the web image from http://www.sun.com onto a system, which has the structure as specified in option 1.

• After doing any of the above options, run es-guiinst from the disk1/sbin directory.
