Hi Paul,
The problem here is that you are creating two Solaris partitions - that is
not a supported configuration.
By default, if you don't specify the part_type attribute in the <partition>
tag, it defaults to 191, which is a Solaris2 partition type.
The code is marking any Solaris2 partition type as being the active
partition, and as such you are getting this error.
If you want to create a different partition, you should specify the
partition type, which is not a Solaris partition type[1], e.g.:
<partition name="2" action="create" part_type="11">
Honestly, I've never seen AI give this error before noticing that there are
two Solaris2 partitions, and giving that more specific error first.
Possibly worth at least a low-priority bug...
Thanks,
Darren.
[1] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type - has HEX numbers, we
require base-10 numbers.
