ERROR : The distribution server:pathname does not exist
This failure occurs if the distribution source that was saved in the checkpoint restart file no longer is exists or is unavailable. For example, the distribution source may be unaccessible because of a network failure or because the distribution was moved.
If the distribution is missing, you see the following message when you select item 1 to restart the installation; when you select item 2, you see this message when you try to list the distribution:
ERROR : The distribution server:pathname does not exist
This failure occurs if the location of the distribution source in the checkpoint restart file is the same but the products in the distribution are different. For example, you see this error if a CD other than the correct distribution CD is loaded in the CD-ROM drive, or if the contents of the distribution directory were changed since the previous session.
If the software distribution is different from the previous installation, you see the following message when you select item 1 to restart the installation; when you select item 2, you see this message when you try to list the distribution:
ERROR : Invalid product sc.sw.sc in selections file
This failure occurs when the installed software on the target or the product dependencies on the distribution have changed since the previous installation. The changes result in conflicts that prevent installation.
If there are bad selections and you select item 1 to restart the installation, the installation is stopped and you see this message:
ERROR : Could not retry previous installation because of errors in the selections. Conflicts must be resolved.
After the message, you see the standard conflicts screen. If there are bad selections and you choose item 2 to restart the installation, you see only the conflicts screen. See "Using the conflicts Command" if you need instructions to proceed.
This failure occurs when the software that was selected for the previous installation requires more disk space than is available on the target. If there is not enough disk space and you select item 1 to restart the installation, you see this message:
ERROR : Could not retry previous installation because of errors in the selections. Installation requires too much space.
If you select item 2 to restart the installation, you see this message:
ERROR: Installation requires too much space.
To complete the installation, remove files from the target system or change your installation selections; then enter the go command.
