Can't upgrade V245 to Solaris 10 5/09

Hi!
We have a *{color:#800000}V245{color}* running Solaris 10 8/07 with the following firmware:
SC Version v1.6
SC Bootmon Version v1.6.1
Firmware version 1.18.05.00
My /etc/vfstab shows a mirrored drive (I didn't set it up)
h4. /dev/md/dsk/d10 /dev/md/rdsk/d10 / ufs 1 no logging
h4. #/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /metadb ufs 2 yes logging
When trying to upgrade the system, after verifying the OS, I get this message:
h4. The Solaris Version (Solaris 10) on slice d10 (c0t0d0s0
h4. c1t1d0s0) cannot be upgraded.
h4. A file system listed in the file system table (vfstab) could not
h4. be checked by fsck.
So it forces me to install a fresh OS, which we want to avoid.
I mention the firmware version because I have another server (exact same configuration apparently) and I was able to upgrade without a problem, but it had the old firmware ( *1.08.04.00*)
Anybody has experience with this?
Can I downgrade the firmware version to upgrade the OS and the upgrade the FW again?

Sorry to tell you, but 10.6 will only install on intel machines, your G5 is not an intel machine, it's a PowerPC.

  • Upgrading GIMP in Solaris 10

    I would like to upgrade GIMP in Solaris 10 to the version used in Solaris Express DE.
    What is the best way to do this?

    i didnt however i wasnt hammering it. if the load was expected to be high i would have done the io layout diff (try and follow some of oracles ideas: SAME for one, if possible).
    some depends on the load and the load from the other zones. you can use allocate resource limits to give more priority to more important zones or make sure you have enough resources to start. what type of load are you expecting?

  • Can I upgrade my Sony Laptop's Graphic Card?

    My laptop is relatively new and I only bought it a few months ago, model #VPCEB. It currently has a 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 5470 which I want to upgrade so I can have StarCraft II run smoothly because it is kind of choppy right now. I just want to know, is there a way I can actually upgrade my computer and what would be a good graphics card?

    It used to be that some laptops would come with 2-3 options of graphics chipsets, and you could swap between them, plus manufacturers might use the same form factor for a series of laptops (For example, all Dell Inspiron 8000 series units used the same card form factor - so you could upgrade an I8000 to the graphics chipset that came with the I8200).  This is no longer the case, even the highend gaming laptops don't have upgradeable graphics.

  • Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

    HI all,
    Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
    cheers

    You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
    Pertaining to  bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.

    Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
    Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E2-1800.html
    You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.

  • Can I upgrade my Laptop Hardware?

    I have HP pavilion G6 Notebook
    Q6470PA#ACJ is product code
    Inter Core I5 2340M 2.4 GHz
    and graphic card is AMD 6470M
    Hard Disk is 600 GB
    Can I upgrade My grpahic card or Hard Disk space?
    If yes , how can i do it?

    Graphics card no; not possible at all. Hard drive; yes but only by 40% to 1 TB and as a practical matter only 750gb drives currently have good performance. 1TB drives are big but slow.

  • Can I upgrade my laptop to 2gb Graphics Support?

    I'm using HP 2227tu Laptop.As laptop provides 1.66GB Intel HD Graphics 4000 (inbulit) but it is not sufficient to play high graphics games, so can I upgrade my laptop's graphics to 2GB ?

    What is the complete product name or product number of your notebook? You left off the first section of the product name.
    Lets start with you helping us by identifying your notebook completely.
    HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..
    Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.
    Method #2:
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a Service tag with printed part number and a product name. Please post the p/n (with all alphanumeric characters) here. If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase. Also post the installed CPU type. (AMD or Intel)
    Don't forget to post the name of the installed operating system if you haven't already done that.

  • Can I upgrade the processor on my laptop? If so, what processors are compatible for my system?

    I have an HP Pavillion dv6-2150us, which runs an Intel Core i3 @ 2.13 GHz, 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Can I upgrade this processor and if so, what processors are compatible to this system?

    First think about memory and an SSD drive. Laptop processor upgrades are a big hassle and not cheap.
