All locales are supported only in the Entire Distribution and Entire Distribution plus OEM metaclusters. Subsets of these locales are supported in the Developer, End User, and Core metaclusters.
If you select a locale at the beginning of the installation that is not supported by the metacluster that you choose to install later in the installation on the metacluster selection screen, the following occur:
Web Start installation of co-packaged products fails without installing the co-packaged products.
You cannot open terminal windows in CDE.
For Desktop editions of the Solaris 7 5/99 operating environment, the Web Start installer installs the End User metacluster. For Server editions of the Solaris 7 5/99 operating environment, Web Start installs the Entire metacluster. You can change the defaults by selecting a Custom installation.
The following is the list of locales supported by each metacluster:

Workaround: To prevent the problem, install the metacluster that contains the desired locale.
To repair an existing installation, in the /etc/default/init file change the references to the unsupported locale to reference a supported locale for the installed metacluster.
Be sure to read bug description ID 4121281 before you start upgrading your x86 system to the Solaris 7 operating environment.
The DiskSuite metadb replicas contain driver names as part of the DiskSuite configuration data. In x86-based systems that run versions 2.4, 2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.6 of the Solaris operating environment, the SCSI driver name is called cmdk. The cmdk driver has been replaced by the sd driver in the Solaris 7 operating environment for x86 systems.
Workaround: To avoid potential data loss during upgrades to the Solaris 7 operating environment, you must save the system's metadevice configurations in text files and remove their metadb replicas before upgrading any x86 system that is running DiskSuite. After you finish upgrading your x86 system, you must restore the metadevice configurations by using the DiskSuite command line interface.
The DiskSuite Version 4.2 Release Notes contain a procedure for saving metadb configurations, removing metadb replicas, upgrading x86 systems to the Solaris 7 operating environment, upgrading DiskSuite to version 4.2, and restoring metadevice configurations. Bourne shell scripts that automate the procedure will be available for the FCS version of the Solaris 7 operating environment.
