Description
[Solaris Zone]
Creation of a virtual L-Server for a Solaris Zone may not finish even after a long time has passed. In such cases, there is a chance that creation has stopped at the window for parameter entry during the installation of the virtual L-Server's OS.
Log in to the VM host being used to create the virtual L-Server and check the following.
Execute the following command and check that the status of the non-global zone being created is "running".
# zoneadm list -vc <RETURN> |
Execute the following command and log in to the non-global zone that was checked in step 1.
After logging in, if the window for parameter entry during OS installation is being displayed, this problem has occurred.
# zlogin -C zonename <RETURN> |
[OVM for SPARC]
Creation of a virtual L-Server for an OVM for SPARC may not finish even after a long time has passed. In such cases, there is a chance that installation of the virtual L-Server's OS has failed.
Log in to the VM host being used to create the virtual L-Server and check the following.
Execute the following command and check that the status of the guest domain being created is "active".
# ldm list-domain <RETURN> |
Check the following log file stored in the service domain that provides the virtual console concentrator service.
The log file for a check
/var/log/vntsd/guest domain's name/console-log
The contents outputted to the virtual console of the guest domain are recorded on this log file. So, it is enable that checking the advance situation of installation.
Check whether installation of OS is completed normally with reference to the manual of Solaris.
Corrective Action
The following causes are possible:
[Solaris Zone]
Check that a network interface which does not exist on the VM host has not been specified.
For details, refer to "C.7.4 Manual Network Configuration" in the "Setup Guide CE".
Check that a network interface used by another zone has not been specified on the VM host.
For details, refer to "C.7.4 Manual Network Configuration" in the "Setup Guide CE".
When the L-Server network interface was configured using the DHCP settings, check that the settings to allocate IP addresses from the DHCP server have been configured.
Check that the IP address allocated to the L-Server has not been allocated in duplicate.
For details on network interfaces, refer to "C.7.4 Manual Network Configuration" in the "Setup Guide CE".
After executing the following corrective action, review the parameters specified when creating the virtual L-Server, and perform the operation again.
Log out from the non-global zone that was logged in to.
Stop the non-global zone.
Execute the following command to delete the non-global zone.
# zoneadm -z zonename uninstall <RETURN> # zoneadm -z zonename delete <RETURN> |
Check from the ROR console that the executed process has been completed.
[OVM for SPARC]
If OS installation fails, the following causes are possible.
The IP address specified at the time of L-Server creation may be used by other servers.
Check that the specified IP address is not competing with other servers.
The composition of CPU, memory size, a disk, etc. which were specified at the time of L-Server creation may not be satisfying the requirements for installation of Solaris.
Check whether the specified composition is satisfying the requirements for installation of Solaris with reference to the manual of Solaris.
This product might have been unable to be accessed during installation of OS at an installation server.
Check whether this product can access an installation server.
Two or more default gateways may have been specified at the time of creation of L-Server which specified the image of Solaris 10.
Check the default gateway specified at the time of L-Server creation.
Moreover, please check whether the default gateway of management LAN must have been set up by referring to "IP address specified during L-Server creation" in "C.8.8 Advisory Notes for OVM for SPARC Usage" in the "Setup Guide CE".
Please execute the following corrective action.
Cancel the job under execution with reference to "Procedure for checking the run state of a job in BladeLogic Server Automation" in "Message number 67390" in "Messages".
Check the operation which was being performed has been completed by a ROR console.
Please operate, after improving the parameter specified at the time of virtual L-Server creation, and environment.
