Re: ignite error - Cannot load OS archive
maybe the nfs share of the ignite server is not mounted.
Check on ignite server /etc/exports for an entry of the new server.
$cat /etc/exports
/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/yourserver -anon=2,access=yourserver
if there is nothing add the specific entry and restart the nis.server deamon (/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start / stop).
hope this helps
Regards

Re: ignite error - Cannot load OS archive
FYI,
The error messages indicate an issue with the contents of the archive file.
Typically files like sbin/%sh and %monitor_bpr are created by Ignite during an
installation and deleted afterwards, therefore they should never be present in
a golden image.
It could be that there was a problem during the installation of the system
used to build the golden image and that these files were left behind, later
making it into the archive.
The best thing would be to remove all the files pax_iux complained about
from the source system and rebuild the golden image. Just remember to add a /
in front of the name reported by pax_iux, for instance sbin/%sh really
is /sbin/%sh.
If it is not possible to recreate the golden image you can try to push a shell
on the client console when the installation process gives you this option. At
the prompt type "exit 2" (without the quotes) and hit Enter, there are good
chances that the installation will complete successfully. After the system
reboots delete the %xxxxx files.
In this instance, the source system was destroyed. If this is the case, the
files can in theory be removed from the archive. Extract the archive to an
empty directory/filesystem, remove the files and then recreate the archive.
since only a few small files are involved it is not necessary to run
archive_impact and update the configuration files.
The general procedure is:
cd /some_empty_directory
gzcat archive_name | tar xvf -
Remove the files
tar cvf - . | gzip > new_archive_name
Change the config file of the golden image to use new_archive_name instead of archive_name.
WK
please assign points

Re: ignite error - Cannot load OS archive
So when it came to the download, it downloaded the actual symlink instead of the actual image.
So I just added the actual directory to /etc/exports and re-exported and ignited again.
