CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Enterprise Customers and Authorized Enterprise Field Service
Representatives may avoid the above mentioned installation
problem by following the recommendation shown below:
The recommended solution for this problem is to create an install
server containing the Solaris 2.6 image, download the patch 105181
or greater from SunSolve and apply that patch to the image using
installpatch -C (as documented in the Solaris 2.6 installation
manual). If the installation must be done using a cdrom, then the user
must first obtain a copy of CD0 "Operating Environment Installation
cdrom (September 1999)" part number 704-6914-xx. They can then boot
from this cd and follow the instructions presented at the console
before inserting the standard installation cd.
COMMENTS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implementation Footnote:
i) In case of MANDATORY FINs, Enterprise Services will attempt to
contact all affected customers to recommend implementation of
the FIN.
ii) For CONTROLLED PROACTIVE FINs, Enterprise Services mission critical
support teams will recommend implementation of the FIN (to their
respective accounts), at the convenience of the customer.
iii) For REACTIVE FINs, Enterprise Services will implement the FIN as the
need arises.
