Problem What you will see
The state file URL (siaurl) is incorrect. If the state file URL (siaurl) is incorrect, the
installation appears to hang.
Check the console for the following error message
that appears after the VNC information:
Unable to fetch unattended statefile: URL
The InstallLoc in the state file URL (siaurl) is
incorrect. The system reboots without an error message and
the console displays messages such as the following
message before rebooting:
Can ’t MD5 ...
The Kickstart entry in state file URL (siaurl) is
incorrect. The installation appears to hang and the console
displays the following message:
apit-magic: run: /installer/... "
A parameter in the URL file is incorrect. When connecting to VNC, you will see that the
unattended network installation stopped and is
waiting for input.
SIA Boot Starts, Then Stops
The initrd.img file used by SIA is over 100 megabytes. The Solaris TFTP daemon is unable to
support the size of the image.
If the SIA starts to boot, then stops with a blank screen and displays a time-out error message,
switch to a TFTP server with a different operating system.
VNC Password Does Not Get Set
If the VNC password was not set, the following message displays on the console:
mv /dev/tty /dev/tty-node
ln -s /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/tty
echo password
/usr/X11R6/bin/vncpasswd.real /installer/vncpasswd
echo password
They don ’t match. Try again.
This issue is a timing problem. To resolve this problem, reboot the system and restart the
installation.
