N1 Grid Service Provisioning System User's Guide and Release Notes for the OS Provisioning Plug-In 1.0

Solaris: RA Installer Uses Value of HostName Instead of Target sps_ra_host (6255081)

Description: If the OS profile has the value install_ra_from_snapshot_spsra="n", the N1 Grid SPSRemote Agent (RA) listens on the IP address specified by the host name rather than the IP address specified in the variable sps_ra_host. In this case, when the RA starts, the transport.config uses the host name of the system rather than the value specified in sps_ra_host.

Workaround: Create and use a snapshot rather than the RA installer. Follow these steps:

  1. Create an RA snapshot. For example, on a Solaris x86 system on which the N1 Grid SPS 5.0 RA is installed, use these commands:


    #cd /opt/SUNWn1sps/N1_Grid_Service_Provisioning_System
      #cat > /tmp/exclude
      ./agent/data
      <control-D EOF>
      #tar cvf /tmp/exclude ./agent ./common > /tmp/sps_ra_solaris_x86_5.0.tar
  2. Import the snapshot to the JET server, as explained in How to Import N1 Grid SPS RA Installers.


    Note –

    The media path should point to a directory reachable from JET Server that contains the tar file that you created in the previous step.
