I would say check if your local disk has some free space so that you can create /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s3 as another partition and use the same for SRT ISO creation.
thanks.

You can mount iso image on Solaris with lofiadm.
See http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/218/mount-an-iso-image-on-a-solaris-filesystem-with-lofiadm/

Thanks marianne.I am getting below error while doing srt creation.

Something wrong with your ISO image.
When a Solaris cd is mounted, it has more than one 'slice' - if I remember correctly, s0, s1, s2, s3 etc.
Seems your ISO was created from s0 only.
Was the ISO ever tested to install Solaris 9?

Can you check bmrsrtadm debug level 6 log created on your boot server?
To enable debug level, edit nblog.conf file and set debugLevel=6. Then run bmrsrtadm steps as you are doing. You will get correct error root cause and you can even guess solution if it is related to os installable/path.
You can attach bmrsrtadm log here in case still issue exists.
Thanks.

Hi Marianne,
Thanks.It seems we have created with s0 alone..Let me create for remaining slices..I will follow your document and let me test after create correct one.

Hi Marianne,
I have followed all the stpes and finelly mkisofs is not working..

Hi Mandar,
I got cd now.But i can able to mount only slice 0 and if i run bmrsrtadm the same issue is persist.I hope because of slice 1 is not mounting?
From below points i could see Boot is having sympolic link to S1 that a problem.Please let us know any way to mount entire cd?

You need to mount at least s0 and s1.
Extract from http://osdir.com/ml/os.solaris.managers.summaries/2003-02/msg00149.html
mkdir /tmp_mnt /tmp_mnt/s0 /tmp_mnt/s1 /tmp_mnt/s2
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s0 /tmp_mnt/s0
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s1 /tmp_mnt/s1
mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s2 /tmp_mnt/s2
s1 may be ufs and not hsfs.
You should be able to confirm with fstyp command.

Hi Thanks marianne.Now its working after follow your steps.Please let us know below one i need to give yes?
Because already i have installed netbackup in this server..My master server will be act as boot server.If i give yes it will install in master server or only in SRT.My master server is 7.5.0.1 and i m creating SRT for 6.5.5 version.
09-09-2012 11:17 PM
>> Do you want to install the NetBackup client software for this client? [y,n] (y) n
Please go ahead with Y. This will install NB client into your BMR SRT and not on your host.
Note: BMR SRT contains minimal OS and NB Client which later recovers your client data in recovery environment and prepared your client like it was originally during last backup.
Thanks.

Thanks Mandar...I am going to create cd based SRT with use of my production master/boot server and i want to test with this SRT in my test enviromnet..My Master/Boot test Environment not having DVD drive so i am plan to create dvd based SRT use of my production master/boot server and then plan to import into my test master/boot server...Both Master server having different configuration..Please let us know it will support???But same solaris 10 OS only release is differnet.I am going to do BMR for solaris 9 server.Hope it will work?
09-10-2012 10:11 PM
Hmm. This is bit tricky.
Today you cannot import BMR ISO based SRT onto other master/boot server. What you can do here is import your NW SRT on production onto your test setup. Also you need to do PTR with this NW SRT onto test setup but boot your client media srt for restore.
>>going to do BMR for solaris 9 server.Hope it will work?
Note that if your client is solaris 9 then you need SRT based on Solaris 9 itself. Hope you have done the same. Boot server can be solaris 9 or 10.
thanks.

>> Enter the name of a Partition of size 1,076,480 or more blocks : /tmp/srt
On Solaris, BMR SRT creation requires some partition which has sufficient free space where it creates a temp file system to build required ISO from SRT folder content.
For example, /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 is a partition of required space can be mentioned as input.
If you do not have any free one check if you have some disk space left where you can create a required size partition.
Thanks

Hi Mandar,
I have below file system have space.But the thing is i can create any one directory under ./diskbkp3 and will mount the file system..But if we give /dev/dsk/emcpower2a is a partition of required space can be mentioned as input means it will delete entire /diskbkp3 right...I dont no how exactly have to create..Please correct me if its wrong..
