jumpstart with mirror fails

807557Mar 10 2005 — edited Oct 6 2008
I'm trying to jumpstart a NetraX1 with 2 disks and use the mirroring commands:
install_type initial_install
system_type server
partitioning explicit
cluster SUNWCprog
package SUNWtcsh
package SUNWwgetr
package SUNWwgetu
filesys mirror:d0 c0t0d0s0 c0t2d0s0 512 swap
filesys mirror:d10 c0t0d0s1 c0t2d0s1 5120 /
metadb c0t0d0s3
metadb c0t2d0s3
filesys mirror:d20 c0t0d0s4 c0t2d0s4 5120 /var
filesys mirror:d30 c0t0d0s5 c0t2d0s5 2048 /export/home
filesys mirror:d40 c0t0d0s6 c0t2d0s6 free /usr/local

During the installation I see:
Creating SVM Meta Devices
- Creating SVM State Replica on disk c0t0d0s3
- metadb: charlie5: network/rpc/meta:default: failed to enable/disable SVM service
- Creating SVM State Replica on disk c0t2d0s3
- metadb: waiting on /etc/lvm/lock
- Creating SVM Mirror Volume d0 (swap)
- Creating SVM Mirror Volume d10 (/)
- Creating SVM Mirror Volume d20 (/var)
- Creating SVM Mirror Volume d30 (/export/home)
- Creating SVM Mirror Volume d40 (/usr/local)

Then the installation proceeds. On the reboot the system hangs with no error message. I tried letting this go overnight thinking it was doing a full resync. I finally reset the system and did a "boot disk". It dropped me into maintenance mode, mounted the root partition read only, and told me there were no disks when I tried metadb.

The examples I've seen don't show that "network/rpc/meta:default: failed to enable/disable SVM service" message. Are there things to try or should I fall back to the finish script I've used with earlier versions?
