Sun Solaris: guess installation type

Hi,
a tricky question for you: how can I guess which kind of Solaris installation is on a system?
For istance, how can I know wheter a Solaris Entire Distribution + OEM installation was done? Is there a configuration file? Should I check all SUNWC package names and compare them with my "pkginfo" output or is there a file that contains something like "entire distribution + OEM installation"?
Thanks in advance
Antonio

Antonio,
This is really easy to do:
# cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER
Also to see the build installed:
# cat /etc/release
SUNWrnet -Reduced Networking
SUNWCreq - Core System Support
SUNWCuser - End User System Support
SUNWCprog - Developer System Support
SUNWCall - Entire Distribution
SUNWCXall - Entire Distribution plus OEM support

  • Sun Solaris 10 installation problem on IBM ThinkPad R31Notebook

    Hello,
    I have tried to install Sun Solaris 10 on my IBM ThinkPad R31 notebook, but the system has problem at initial stage of loading the installation software from CD. Here is the message I see on the screen when the CD is loaded:

    I changed both memory and the hard drive but I still have the same problem. Can anyone please tell me what the problem might be or what remedial step I should take to install Solaris 10 on R31?
    Thanks

    Did you try install check CD before the installation?
    I think that there might be two main reasons:
    1. Your computer is not supported
    2. Hard drive may need to be formated to FAT32 or UFS

    Please help me, how can I install sun solaris 9 x86 on my HP E-Vectra PC.
    Kalpesh Mehta

    I had similar problems several months ago. I suspect this happens when host pc does not have floppy drive(or bios somehow misreports it) as it was in my case. Solaris 8 seems to work fine in the same environment, so I keep using it for now. Possible workaround might be to use DCA from Solaris 8: Installation of Sol9 started just fine after I entered Sol8 DCA and asked it to boot from Sol9 CD.
    Hope this problem will be fixed in subsequent Sol9 releases.

    I don't think the test-scsi command is viable for that platform.
    The FC disks are "viewed" by the system as external to the SCSI controller, almost as if they were in a multi-pack.
    They are FC drives addressed by the chipset as SCSI disks.
    Try:
    <pre>probe-scsi-all</pre>
    Edit:
    Which release of Solaris 10 are you trying to install?
    Older releases that might be fine for V480's won't work on V490's.

  • Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

    Hey,
    Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
    Simon

    I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

    I am having the same problem installing on Windows 2000. I looked at the services that were installed and two of the ones that were marked as Automatic did not start when I rebooted. They are:

    I also tried to start the HTTP server from the command line but got the following error:

    Thank you
    Ravindran Kanniah

    It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
    First check your shell by the following command.
    $ echo $SHELL
    Then select the below.
    For csh shell
    $ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
    $ export DISPLAY
    For sh,ksh and bash
    $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
    $ export DISPLAY
    After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
    $ echo $DISPLAY
    If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
    One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

  • BPEL Server installation on JBOSS application Server on SUN SOLARIS

    I have a question about Oracle BPEL installation. For our project exists the requirement, to install BPEL Server on SUN SOLARIS, whereby the appropriate Version of Application server JBOSS already exists and it should be used.
    The version of the Oracle BPEL server for JBOSS, which we found on the Download side, is made available only with JBOSS (version 3.2.6) in a Package.
    During the BPEL server installation this bound JBOSS server version is installed automatically, without giving selection. Is there a BPEL installation for JBOSS on SUN-SOLARIS, which can be installed at the already existing JBOSS server?

    Hi There,
    Dis you get any good responces to your question ?

  • Installation of Oracle 9.0.1 on Sun Solaris 5.8

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle9i Enterprise Edition (9.0.1) on Sun Solaris.
    I started the installer and the installation proceeded fine. When the installer asked for the second CD, I aborted the installation as the second cd was not available to me at that time.
    After obtaining all the 3 installation CDs, I started the installer once again and the installation GUI does not show up. This is what I get
    $ ./runInstaller
    $ Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/jre. Please wait..
    This ".... Please wait..." prompt remains for ever.
    Could somebody please give a pointer on what needs to be done to get the GUI running?
    TIA,
    Babu

    Hi harsh
    I'm no guru of Linux,
    but heard somewhere u just cant make 9i to work with 128 MB RAM it needs at least 512.
    u can refer a document

  • Siebel 8 installation on Sun Solaris 10 - Siebel server failed

    Hi Expert,
    I am currently installing Siebel 8.0.0.0 on Sun Solaris 10.
    I had successfully configured a New Gateway Name Server, a New Enterpise in a Gateway Name Server and a New Siebel Web Server Extension Logical Profile.
    Then, I tried to configure a Siebel Server, however the result of that is Execution Failed and popup the following error message:

    Searching on supportWeb, I don't find much information regarding "error code: "255"(SBL-STJ-00152)"
    Does anyone know what does "error code: "255"" mean?
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve it?
    Appreciate all your help.
