If the installation fails on an NFS-mounted filesystem, ensure that you have write permission on that filesystem. You can check for write permission by following these instructions. See "Choosing Local Display or Remote Display of the Installer" in the Sun Studio 12 Quick Installation guide for more information about installing on an NFS-mounted filesystem.
Check for write permission by typing:
touch /net/remote-system/opt/testfile |
If you receive an error message, then you do not have write permission. For example:
touch /net/harker/opt/testfile touch: /net/harker/opt/testfile cannot create |
Choose another installation directory on which you have write permission, or contact your system administrator to change the filesystem permissions.
