Help with Solaris on NT 4.0 box.

I have an NT 4.0 system that I can�t disable at this time. I also want to run Solaris 8 on that same box. How can I accomplish this? Can I run Solaris 8 and NT on the same drive? Can they be run from to different partitions on the same drive? Or can they be run from two different drives in the same box? If an option is workable how do you select what OS to use when you boot the system? Thank for all help in advance.

Yes, you can run Solaris 8 Intel edition on an existing machine that has NT 4.0 installed onto the same drive. Also, Solaris will have be installed onto a separate partition on the drive since it uses a different file system from the Win32 platforms. Finally, you can also run Solaris on a different drive on the same box.
The prerequisite is to have Windows NT 4.0 installed first before Solaris 8. The installation is straightforward - just need to pop the Device Configuration Assistant into the floppy drive and the Solaris 8 Installation into the CD-ROM drive and the installation menu will guide you through.
The only caution I can give you is that at some point of the installation process, you will be asked to select the harddisk space for the Solaris OS, ensure that you select the remaining harddisk AND NOT the entire harddisk, if you select the entire harddisk, your Windows NT 4.0 OS will be erased.

Help with Solaris 10

Hello,
I just got ahold of a SunBlade 100 system (that's having video problems, I already posted what the problem is in the Hardware section) and I would like some help with Solaris 10. I have never used Sun before, and I figured why not get a machine and start learning. =)
Anyways, I do alot of web design and networking...on Mac's though.
I'm setting this system up on a Rack along with a Win Xp box, a Mac G4, and a Linux Mint machine.
I also have two of these Scsi towers that came with the Sun System. They can each hold I believe 8-10 Drives each? Not sure..that i want to setup at a later time.
My questin is this. I'd like to run websites off my Sun system. But i'm not sure how to transfer my files from iWeb to the Sun, and how to control the sites on the system, as well as turning the site on, off, etc.
I'd also like to store music on it as well. Because I can have alot of Scsi drives, i figured I can get quite large amount of storage for songs. I'd like to set it up to where I can give someone a login information and a website (ex. myuploadsite.net) and they can go in, and upload there music. But, I'd like to make it to where I can make the website in iWeb, and run it off the Sun system, and store all the files on the Sun as well.
And my last question is this. How do I remote desktop to a Sun System from a Mac. I'm using Apple Remote Desktop, and the way the rack is setup, is that I remote connect to the Xp, linux, and Mac box's (saves monitors, and space. =), and also because I'm usually never home...
Thanks in advance for the help!
Oh, and if anyone has a Instant Messanger and wouldn't mind having a chat with me, that would be great.

hi all

Help with Solaris.....any help would be nice

I have to write a paper comparing and contrasting Solaris with DOS/MSDOS.....you wouldnt think this would be hard but it is......is ththere a place where I can find a head to head comparsion? If not perhaps some of you familiar with Solaris could give me some points to start with......I should point out I have never used or seen Solaris I am completely new to this area and it may seem simple but the truth is Im a little overwhelmed by all the information....cant see the forrest for the trees...........so any help would be nice ....thanks in advance

Hi,
Solaris is so much more advanced an OS than DOS that a comparison is not straightforward, but here are some less than exhaustive suggestions. Please bear in mind I m not a DOS person, and these are just my personal thoughts on the subject; apologies to Microsoft afficionados for any mistakes.
Similarities:
Both DOS and Solaris are Operating Systems. They provide access to machine resources, like a printer port, or a disk ( through the filesystem), by providing an Application Programming Interface, thus saving programmers from learning the underlying details and machine language of each machine they use. So for example in DOS compiler routines make use of INT 21h to access system services.In solaris we use the system call interface (which does a similar thing underneath).
They also both provide a command shell for ordinary users. In DOS we have command.com, in Solaris you may use Korn shells for example.
Differences
DOS is a single user operating system. Solaris is multiuser, multitasking and multiprocessing.
That is to say Solaris supports multiple programs running on the system at the same time. It will context switch between them to give the illusion of concurrency on a uniprocessor system (time-slicing). On a multiprocessor some tasks will run concurrently.
Many users can log on to a Solaris system (via a serial terminals, or a network connection (telnet or X windows)) and run programs at the same time. Full networking facilities are built in.
Dos only provides the ability to fileshare across the network, using the add on Lan Manager.
Because multiple users run processes (threads/tasks ...) concurrently, Solaris provides extensive security, which DOS doesnt. Each process is owned by a user and runs in its own virtual memory space and is prevented from interfering with any other process memory or other users processes. The operating system and its data is held in protected kernel memory and not directly accessible to processes, so malfunctioning user program cant crash the system accidentally or maliciously.
Devices and files are protected through filesystem permissions, so a device or file has an owner, a group owner and various permissions attributes such as read/write/execute.
Solaris also implements filesystem Access Control Lists (ACLs).
Solaris runs in 32bit protected mode on x86 processors, giving it access to the full address range of the processor (4GB using 4k pages). DOS uses the 16bit segmented memory model.
On ultrasparc systems or the forthcoming Intel Itanium systems, Solaris runs in 64bit mode, giving it access to vastly more memory and
faster computation. (note also DOS only runs on x86 processors).
Who are you writing the paper for? It would probably help some of the readers here with posting suggestions. Some specific questions would be good too.
However, you should try to get access to a solaris system on a network and maybe have a friendly sysadmin show you around a bit.
Do you know anyone with a LINUX system? Solaris and LINUX are variants of the UNIX OS and for your purposes a comparison of LINUX and DOS may suffice.
Hope that is some help.

Help with Solaris 10 and 3COM 3C556 Builtin MiniPCI

Hello All,
I have just installed S10. But my 3COM 3C556 Mini PCI NIC, is not
working with it. I don't understand why the elxl driver is not
working with since it is suppose to be compatible with the 3C9xx...
Any one had the same issue?
Here is what I have done so far.
I have included in the /etc/driver_aliases a line with
elxl "pci10b7,6055"
Also added in /boot/solaris/devicedb/master a line with
pci10b7,6055 pci10b7,6055 net pci elxl.bef "3COM 3C556 MiniPCI"
then I config the network wih hostname.elxl
netmask, defauftroute, resolv.conf etc...
I do a devfsadm -i elxl
touch /reconfigure
I reboot.
Whe I do an ifconfig -a I can then see the card up with the corect
IP, but it has a MAC address that is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, I can not
ping outside, and the led of the NIC card does not come up. It looks
like it's not even up.... But I know its works okay since I used to
have debian on the machine...
Thanks for your help
Cheers,
HK

Brilliant workaround.
most of these posts are before Sol 10 was officially launched, but I just wanted to give some feedback to date.
I'm trying to get solaris 10 working on a Dell Latitude C810. (where I work our notebooks are faster then our desktops/servers!)
Anyhow found similar problem where no NIC was found.
Using the manual steps below, and by changing the bios to boot the NIC first, I was able to 'fake' solaris into at least getting it to a state where i could "massage" it
bootup it still doesn't like things, due to being unable to configure the ipv4 device elxl0 but, i just made a little script file to change it to what it should be..
ifconfig elxl0 down
ifconfig elxl0 <ip address you want>
ifconfig elxl0 netmask <netmask>
ifconfig elxl0 broadcast <bcast addy>
ifconfig ether <mac-addy>
ifconfig elxl0 up
ifconfig -a
this get's the device as close to workable state.
Just a further note, I tried installing this on a couple "express builds" 07/05 and 08/05, both, upon a fresh install, just after grub loads, it immediately core-dumps and reboots the machine.
Once i reverted back to the 'official' 03/05 release version, it installed fine, I really would prefer to experiment with grub, and to take advantage of the newest bug-fixed express builds, but, c'est la vie...
Thanks again for posting this workaround!

Can anyone help with a creating a 'Pop Up' box?

Hi there,
Was wondering if anyone could help me with some javascript in my shopping cart. I have two things that I'm after but the second one might be too hard?
1. I need a pop up box saying "Please choose a shipping option" when they click on the 'Get Quote button' as it's not a mandatory field for quoting.
2. I'd love to have a pop up box in the shopping cart that won't let a customer proceed to getting quoted if their purchase is below $250.
Our quote button is "Charge to Franchise" and the website is www.harcourtsonlineshop.co.nz
Would love your help! I'm only able to do very basic things in BC.
Thanks for your time,
Kirsty

Alright... first off this only almost works. I'm posting it because hopefully one of the js gurus around here can figure out what the issue is because I can't.
For me at least (testing in greasemonkey) it works fine until I make more than a couple changes in the shipping options menu, after which it just stops altogether.
You'll need jquery running obviously.
var tooltip = '';
var total = $('tr.total').find('td:eq(2) > strong ').text();
total = parseFloat(total.replace(/[^0-9\.]+/g,""));
var unlockcharge = 250.00;
var t='';
$('body').append(tooltip);
function setPageState(){
     $('#tooltip').empty();
     t='';
     sel = $('select#ShippingOptions').val();
     var bt = (total < unlockcharge)? true: false;
     var ps = (sel == -1)? true: false;
     if(bt){
          t+='A minimum purchase of $250 is required for a quote.';
     if(ps){
          t+= 'Please select a shipping option.';
     if(bt||ps){
          $('#tooltip').html(t);
          $('#catshopquote').fadeTo(100, 0.5).on({
               'click': function(e){
                    e.preventDefault();
          $('#catshopquote').on({
               'mouseenter': function(e){
                    $('#tooltip').css({
                         'top': (e.pageY-15)+'px',
                         'left':e.pageX+15+'px'
                    }).fadeIn();
               'mouseleave': function(e){
                    $('#tooltip').fadeOut();
$('select#ShippingOptions').on('change', function(){
     setPageState();
setPageState();

NEED HELP WITH SOLARIZING EFFECT!

So I am editing my final film project at the moment on FCP, and I need to know how to make the solarizing video filter do a few specific things. I need to make it look like the effect is SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE CLIP and not just simply BOOM, THERE! And then on the following clip, I'd like it if my actors remained in regular color, as they were, and for only the BACKGROUND behind them to have the soarized filter.
Does anybody know how to do this at all? It would be a tremendous help to me as right now the effect honestly looks a bit silly! Thanks, I really appreciate it a lot!
Cheers,
Liz

I need to make it look like the effect is SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE CLIP< </div>
Create a next of all of your finished sequence. Pull two copies fo the next into a new sequence, on on top of the other (you only need audio from one of them). One copy of your sequence does not have the filter, the other does. Create a wipe or another transition or use a motion track matte to add the effect. Using an animated track matte you can have the solarization effect selectively applied to any location on the screen.
If this is a big part of your finished school project, you may want to have Plan B ready to go. You may not be able to get what you think you want without exploring several special effects design functions that you apparently have not covered in class.

Help with Solaris 2.5.1

Hello all,
I'm new to the Solaris administration and must install Solaris 2.5.1 on a 36G harddrive running on an Ultra 80 Workstation (configured as a server to sunray 100s). I have installed Solaris 8 on a second harddrive inthe same maching but can't seem to get 2.5.1 to even start installing. Yes I have the installation manual for what it's worth but every time I boot off of the CD I get a prompt to enter a kernal id. What do I do????
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The NI-488.2 for Solaris, v2.2 requires Solaris 2.5.1 or above, and the NI-488.2 for Solaris, v2.3 requires Solaris 2.6 and above. You will see these messages when you start up the installers. You are right that this information should be more clearly available at the website, at the download pages and perhaps in KnowledgeBase, too.

Help with solaris 10 instalation

Hi,
after installing solaris 10, its asking me for login name & password? what should I do?

Hi
During the installation, you were asked for the root password. So you need to login as user 'root' using this password.
The next thing that you should do is to create an ordinary user account for yourself. There's more than one way to do this, but an easy one is to launch /usr/sbin/smc (Solaris Management Console), select 'This Computer' in the Toolboxes list, then System Configuration (left panel) -> Users. After that it's something like Action->Add User (I don't have the necessary priveleges on the machine that I'm using). Then you can logout as root and log back in as the user that you created.

New to Solaris...need help with netra T1

I want to learn a form of Unix and thought Solaris would be a good place to start. I purchased a netra T1 in a package deal with some other equipment and am having a learning experience. The box came with Solaris 9, currently running 5.8. I can get the LOM interface up...I can get to the lom> prompt and the $ prompt but can't get any commands suggested by the install manual to work. The Netra T1 has a CDROM so I am trying the boot cdrom command...following is the sequence of events:
$boot cdrom
boot: not found
Any suggestions or links to documentation is appreciated.
Brittan

On the Netra you have three levels - lom (Lights out managment) is the 'bottom' level. From here you can control power to the box, etc
The next level is the OBP (Open Boot Prom) - This is the one you need to be at in order to do your boot cdrom
The top level is the OS running - if you've got a $ prompt, then chances are you're logged in as someone other than root on the server with the OS running.
To get to the OBP you'll want to be root. Assuming you know the root password type su -
supply the root password when prompted. Your $ will now change to a # this indicates you are now the superuser (root).
Now you can issue commands such as shutdown, halt, etc
shutdown -g0 -y -i0 (those are both zero) will tidy shutdown the box to the OBP
alternatively, if you're going to reinstall the OS anyway, you don't really care about a tidy shutdown and halt will do the trick
you're now at the OBP prompt ( ok> )
from here you can type boot cdrom
cdrom is an alias setup on the system and should be set to point to the CDROM device on your Netra

Help with creating a form, I want to add a check box to enable me to unlock certain fields and deselect the block again

Look to the right under "More Like This". Your issue has been discussed many many times. The error you are seeing is because you do not have enough free "contiguous" space on your hard drive. Read the other threads that address this issue to find how to solve the issue.
Or, put "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved" into the search box at the upper right of this page.

Help with creating a search box

Lo,
I am making a website using dreamweaver 8 and was wondering
if anyone could help me in making a simple search box. If your
wondering what i mean when i say search box, i mean a text field
where you can enter a search subject and a button to submit the
search. Not unlike the search areas you see on most popular
websites. So far I've been able to make the text field and button
but i am having trouble with scripting them so that they actually
preform a search. I'm guessing that I will have to make a new page
that to display search results, but other that that i'm pretty much
in the dark about how to go about it. Anyone who could help me out
or show me where I could get help, I would really appriciate
it!

Thats a good one Nancy, might look into that for an upcoming
client.
Atomz have one as well, customizable too.

Help with BT Vision Box - rebooting every 15-20min...

I need help with this please!! I have been unable to watch TV using the Vision Box since last week as the box is rebooting itself at least every 15 to 20 minutes. It is impossible to record anything as the box drops out and then we cannot watch the shows. I am getting increasingly frustrated as I feel that what I am paying does not reflect the service I am getting from BT.

Hi SineadMcB,

Help with date validation on input boxes.

I need some help with date validation on input boxes.
What I�m trying to create is a form where a user inputs dates and then the rest of the form calculates the other dates for them.
i.e. � A user inputs 2 dates (A & B) and then a 3rd date which is 11 weeks before date B is calculated automatically.
Is this possible and if so how do I do it ???
Thanks

Hi,
to get third date try this:
java.util.Date bDate = ...;
Calendar yourCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
yourCalendar.setTime(bDate);
yourCalendar.roll(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, -11);
java.util.Date cDate = yourCalendar.getTime();Regards
