Where this log will be saved and how i can remove that log from the system....
What happen after you reboot the system?

Have you apply patch 111792-11  PICL plugins patch?
have a look at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/printfriendly.do?assetkey=1-21-111792-11-1

You might also need to update your OBP as well.

Try patch 111792-11  first, if you still have problem, update your OBP.
When i reboot the system it started normally and the console window opened and started giving me that above log error...

Can you please tell me where the log will be saved and how i can remove...so that it will not eat my disk space....

Hi Yuzh...
I solved that picld...problem...Thank you .....for your timly help...
You are welcome!
Hello ,

Any one involved in EAServer 5.0 with Sun Solaris installation.

Thank you ,
Waheed
Trying to install... EAServer 5.2...run the PowerBuilder components....

After installation i am able to run the server but without PB Components since pbvm is not configured properly components doesnt give result...

Waiting replies..

Thanks in advance for your kind reply...

Hello
I understood your web site policy and its expertise..
I apologize for this.
Regards
Waheed
I see a million responses...but heres a few more ...

1. uname -a
4. Use "flar" and "flarcreate".  I like i better as a backup becuase it can be used directly with the Solaris install program to restore the system as opposed to having to inst the Solaris OS...and then restore the data on top of it.)

Do the following to make a flar archive ...
1. Get the flar and flarcreate commands off the CD or off the Sun website (if they are not already on your system).  They are just two files that need to be copied.  The do not have to be "installed."
2. make a place to put the archive.  It can be a directory on a different disk in the system...or an NFS mount point. (I use the dir "/flash", mounted to another server)
3. cd /<wherever the flarcreate command is>
4. flarcreate -c imagename -x /flash /flash/archive_file_name.flar
Where ...
flarcreate = the command.
-c = the image name as held inside the image (almost useless...so don't worry about it too much)
-x = exclude the /flash directory itself
/flash/archive_file_name.flar = the filename that the actual archive will be stored under.

Again, the advantage is, if your system completely dies, you can boot to the install CD-Rom, and tell i to install directly from this flar image.
You can also use the "flar" command to extract things out of this image.

Best of Luck!
Mike
