client installation from ignite server using golden image

[M.Thomas]

Dear Admins,

While installing client from ignite server, I am getting following error

cat: Cannot open /tmp/ign_configure/archive_nfs/xxtcu70.gz: Not a directory
* Completed 0 KBytes of archive

gunzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
pax_iux: The archive is empty.
ERROR: Cannot load OS archive (English HP-UX 11.11 CDE - 64 Bit OS)

The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like
to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]):

First time I am configuring ignite server using golden image
Please help me to fix this issue
Thanks in advance

Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

It looks to me as if the NFS mount succeeded, but the file was not
accessible from the target machine. Several possibilities:
- the file has a different name (check your config files)
- the file has the wrong permissions such that it is not readable
(check /etc/exports)

Best Regards,
Prashanth

Hi Thomas,

Check your configuration file:
/var/opt/ignite/data/Rel_B.11.11/core_archive_cfg

In the sw_sel stanza, check for the following:
nfs_source = ":"

This points nfs_source to the directory where the archive resides, which must be NFS exported.

If you have another server, you can check if your NFS already exported, this to ensure that this is not an NFS issue
