SUNWcsr, SUNWnisr pkgchk Errors Occur After Flash Install (4692667)

After a flash archive installation for Solaris 9 9/05 HW, pkgchk errors occur in the SUNWcsr, SUNWkrbr, and SUNWnisr packages.

The following error message is displayed for the SUNWcsr package:

    group name <sys> expected <root> actual
ERROR: /etc/dgroup.tab
    group name <sys> expected <root> actual

The following error message is displayed for the SUNWkrbr package:


ERROR: /etc/krb5/krb5.conf
    pathname does not exist

The following error message is displayed for the SUNWnisr package:


ERROR: /var/yp/aliases

Workaround: Since this problem occurs only with a flash archive installation, perform an initial install instead.

SPARC: Installer Should Notify the User If diag-switch?=true on JumpStart Installation (6463765)

If the diag-switch of the PROM is set to true, the JumpStart installer issues a warning to change the default boot device even though the boot device was not changed during the install. The following error message is displayed:


WARNING: CHANGE DEFAULT BOOT DEVICE
If you want the system to always reboot Solaris from the boot
device that you've specified (c1t0d0s0), you must change the
system's default boot device using the eeprom(1M) command after
installing Solaris software.

Workaround: Set the diag-switch to false.

SPARC: Solaris 9 9/05 HW Web Start Installation Program Might Not Display Special Case Panels Properly (5002175)

If you install the Solaris 9 9/05 HW software by using the Solaris Web Start installation program, some of the information and exit panels for the Sun SM Remote Services (SRS) Net Connect software might not display properly.

The installation panel frame and Cancel button are displayed, but the installation panel content is missing.

Note –

This problem might also occur during a Solaris Web Start installation of other software products that are included in this Solaris OS release.

Workaround: Follow these steps:

  1. Bypass the SRS Net Connect installation by clicking the Cancel button when the empty installation panel is displayed.

  2. After the installation of the Solaris 9 9/05 HW software has completed, manually install the SRS Net Connect software from the Solaris DVD or Software 2 of 2 CD.

Installing the SRS Net Connect software after the initial Solaris 9 9/05 HW software installation has completed ensures that all panels are displayed properly.

SPARC: Systems With Multiple Interfaces Recognize All Interfaces as Usable After Installation or Upgrade (4640568)

If you install or upgrade to the Solaris 9 9/05 HW release on a system with multiple network interfaces, the system recognizes all system interfaces as usable. Interfaces that are not connected to the network, or that are not intended for use, appear in the output of the ifconfig -a command. Additionally, interfaces with identical Ethernet addresses might be assigned identical IP addresses. The following error message is displayed:


ifconfig: setifflags: SIOCSLIFFLAGS: qfe3: Cannot assign requested address

This problem also occurs on systems that have the local-mac-address PROM variable set to false. The problem occurs because all interfaces are configured with the same IP address.

Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds:
