Solaris 7 OnLine Release Notes (SUNWrdm)

JumpStart is Unable to Read DiskSuiteTM and Veritas Partitions (4109714)

If part of the Solaris operating environment has been installed on a DiskSuite or Veritas partition, JumpStartTM cannot mount these partitions. As a result various tests in the rules file fail, including the one listed below:


installed any Solaris_2.6 begin profile finish

Specifically, this line in the rules file fails because JumpStart is unable to mount the partition containing the Solaris operating environment. Therefore, JumpStart does not recognize that the Solaris operating environment has been installed.

Workaround: Do not use JumpStart rules that depend on the installed keyword (or its negative) on systems that store part of the Solaris operating environment on DiskSuite or Veritas partitions.
