Solaris Installation Bugs
Warnings May Occur When Creating a File System (4189127)
One of the following error messages may be displayed when creating a file system during installation:
Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (87) >= data blocks (63) in last
cylinder group. This implies 1008 sector(s) cannot be allocated.
|
Or:
Warning: 1 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated |
The warning occurs when the size of the file system being created does not map exactly to the space on the disk being used. This can result in unused space on the disk that is not incorporated into the indicated file system. This unused space is not available for use by other file systems.
Workaround: Ignore the error message.
Not All Locales Supported Outside of Entire Metacluster (4181942)
All locales are supported only in the Entire Distribution metacluster. 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 11/99 operating environment, the Web Start installer installs the End User metacluster. For Server editions of the Solaris 7 11/99 operating environment, Web Start installs the Entire metacluster. You can change the defaults by selecting a Custom installation.
The following table indicates which locales are 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.
Font Package Warning Occurs During Installation (4226416)
The font packages listed below in the warning messages cover all language locales, including those that may not be on your Solaris CD. If you cannot find all the packages listed in the warning message, then only install those packages that you can find on your CD.

Workaround: Installation of the font packages listed in the warning message is strongly recommended.
Installation of SUNWxilrl Partially Fails on Upgrade (4276484)
If SUNWxilrl is installed on a system being upgraded to the Solaris 7 11/99 operating environment and the /opt directory is on a file system that is being resized or moved during the upgrade, you will see the following error messages:
ERROR: attribute verification of </a/opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so> failed
pathname does not exist
unable to create symbolic link to </usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1>
ERROR: attribute verification of </a/opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so.1>
failed
pathname does not exist
unable to create symbolic link to </usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1>
pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully
Installation of <SUNWxilrl> partially failed.
pkgadd return code = 2
|
This partial failure results in the following:
-
The /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil and /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil/lib directories are not recreated.
-
The /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil/lib/libxil.so and /opt/SUNWits/Graphics_sw/xil/lib/libxil.so.1 symbolic links to /usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1 are not created.
Workaround: Recreate the directories and symlinks after the upgrade has completed.
-
Complete the upgrade.
-
Reboot the upgraded system.
-
Recreate the xil/lib directory:
# /usr/sbin/install -d -m 0755 -u bin -g bin /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil # /usr/sbin/install -d -m 0755 -u bin -g bin /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib
-
Recreate the symbolic links:
# ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1 /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so # ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libxil.so.1 /opt/SUNWits/Graphics-sw/xil/lib/libxil.so.1
