The `n1sh` Command Does Not Work in Some Locales (6402666)

The n1sh command fails to run in some locales and the following error message is displayed:

The current encoding "locale-name" is not supported.

Workaround: Change the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables on the management server to UTF-8 (for example, en_US.UTF-8) or en_US locale.

Windows OS Deployment Does Not Work When OS Chooser Directory Name and RIS Server Language Are Different (6400419)

The RIS server assumes that you have files in a language path that is the same as the RIS server's OS language. To provision a Windows OS that is not the same as the RIS server's OS language, you need to do some additional configuration.

Workaround: To configure an English RIS server to deploy a non-English Windows image, copy the other language's files to the English path by performing the following procedure.

Go to the directory in which the OS Chooser files are located.

For example:

% cd RemoteInstall\OSChooser
Copy the files from the language directory to an English directory.

For example:

% copy -r Japanese English

This procedure creates a directory RemoteInstall\OSChooser\English that contains the install screens in the native language. When the RIS software checks the default English path, it will display the non-English OS Chooser screens during install.

To configure a non- English RIS server to deploy an English Windows image, type:

% copy -r English language

Internationalization Features Are Not Supported for the `n1sh` Command on Solaris Management Servers (6297808)

The Python version 2.3 on a default Solaris management server does not provide adequate internationalization support for the n1sh command.

Workaround: Install Python 2.4 or later on the Solaris management server. The Python executable must be /usr/bin/python2.4.

Cannot Install ALOM Firmware With a Non-ASCII Firmware Name (6297238)

The load server command fails to install ALOM firmware if the firmware name is non-ASCII.

Workaround: Change the firmware name to ASCII using the set firmware command.

Non-ASCII Objects Display Random Characters if the N1 System Manager Is Running in a Non-UTF8 Locale (6231209)

Non-ASCII objects created using the N1 System Manager display random characters if you start N1 System Manager in any of the following ways:

Restarting N1 System Manager in a non-UTF8 locale
Rebooting the management server in a non-UTF8 locale

Workaround: Use either of the two following methods.

Temporary solution: Set the LANG environment variable to the UTF8 locale on the management server and restart the N1 System Manager. For example:
- Solaris management server:
  # export LANG en_US.UTF-8 # sccadm restart n1sm
- Red Hat management server:
  # export LANG en_US.UTF-8 # /etc/init.d/n1sminit stop # /etc/init.d/n1sminit start
Permanent solution:
- Solaris based management server:
  
  Edit the file /etc/default/init and change the LANG value to en_US.UTF-8.
- Red Hat based management server:
  
  Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change the LANG value to en_US.UTF-8.

Deploying Solaris 10 3/05 OS With Some Installation Languages Will Time Out (6178721)

If you deploy Solaris 10 3/05 OS with an OS profile that has a particular installation language set, the installation is performed in interactive mode and you must select a language when prompted. The deploy OS job will eventually time out if you do not make the language selection. The following languages create this behavior:

ja_JP.eucJP
no_NO.ISO8859-1
th_TH.TIS620
ko_KR.UTF-8
sh_BA.ISO8859-2
zh_CN.EUC
zh_CN.UTF-8

Workaround: Because the installation is no longer automated, you must monitor the deployment through the server's serial console and make the language selection. You can choose Serial Console from the Actions menu in the browser interface or use the connect server command.
