Symptoms

When we install a Solaris[TM] 10 Operating System (OS) for an Sun Fire[TM] E25K server domain by following up standard method, system install script need us to confirm:

NFS Location:

10.x.x.x:/export/install/SOL_10_0106_SPARC/

after we checked the /etc/bootparams files on E25K Main SC
(it acts as an installation server), above NFS location is
completely correct, so we confirmed above NFS locations,
but system replys:

ERROR: The image you specified is an incorrect Solaris OS image.

try another two NFS locations such as:

10.x.x.x:/export/install/SOL_10_0106_SPARC/Solaris_10
10.x.x.x:/export/install/SOL_10_0106_SPARC/Solaris_10/Product

and now system replys:

ERROR: The directory you specified does not contain a valid Solaris OS image.

Above informations give us hints that the default NFS location:

10.x.x.x:/export/install/SOL_10_0106_SPARC/

is actual an expected OS image location, but system could not read needed
OS image informations, so system complains the OS image is "incorrect".
while we later provided two NFS locations, both are incorrect.
