Adding an additional harrdrive on solaris 8 x86

One of our harrdrives is experiencing trouble and we have decided to install a new 40gb harrdrive as replacement.
I am very new to solaris and i hope you guys can lend me a hand, we have already installed the harddrive physically, and now i dont know how to mount or format it.
I also have to transfer the /export/home and /usr from the old harddisk to the new one.
thanks in advance for your help.

I think Solaris 8 x86 is only available by ordering a media kit.
You can download Solaris 9 x86 for $20:

Solaris 10 x86 DL-360 How to make additional NICS Show.

Installing Solaris 10 x86 on a DL-360 with 4 NIC's. The server comes normally with 2 built in.
The first was seen fine..
bge0
When I tried to use the 2nd one, bge1, I had to plumb it first.
ifconfig bge1 plumbNo problem...
Now I need to use the 3rd port but the same command is not working.
I would assume that it would be bge2 ??

If I understand you correctly, you have two gigabit Ethernet ports as a part of your computer's systemboard, and you have two more Ethernet ports because there are add-in card or cards.
The bge device name is a result of the particular chipset circuitry
and is not a generic term for just any old network port.
It is a name derived from a BroadCom Gigabit Ethernet chipset.
So ... who created the chipsets for the 3rd and 4th network ports?
ipbr is an example from Intel.
le was a common Lowspeed Ethernet (10mbit) circuit in Sun systems in the last century.
hme was a common integrated Highspeed Media Ethernet interface (10/100mbit) on Sun systemboards.
eri is a common Ethernet Rio Interface (10/100) on newer Sun systemboards.
elx is a name associated with 3COM EtherLink chipsets.
dnet is an interface from the DEC21x4x chipsets and could be 10mbit or 10/100mbit adapters per whichever DEC chip was used.
You're going to have to determine what you actually have, confirm you have the appropriate software packages for that hardware, and then you may have a chance to plumb them.

Using solaris 11 x86 I do not get usb audio in firefox or additions where can I redirect the internal audio to usb audio? Audio works through solaris

I upgraded to Solaris 11 x86 and Firefox 3.6.10. I have sound through Solaris but not through Firefox or any of the add-ons.
I am using USB speakers which work with Solaris Rythmbox. How can I redirect Firefox audio to my USB speakers?

It works fine, thank you. There is one glitch when I turn off my system and on the next day the audio is missing again. Applying the dsp to dsp 0 reboot and then back to dsp1 reboot I get the audio back.
Is there any way to restart the process?

Installation problem of Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 10 x86

Hi,
I tried to install the Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 10 x86 and I got an error message shows: "cannot write to /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/jar/classes2.jar".checking the log it shows:
Exception: IOException2
and exception: copyGroupFromJar. I ignored the error but the installation failed.By the way, I was not asked to run root.sh during the installation. Can anyone kindly tell me how to make it?

Here are some additional statements for 10g on Solaris 10g x86:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

Boot from second hard drive with ZFS in Solaris 10 x86

Hi,
The usual menu.lst to boot Solaris10 x86 with a boot environment that contains a ZFS boot loader is this one
title Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_nbu6wos_nightly X86
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
title Solaris failsafe
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -s    -B console=ttyb
module /boot/x86.miniroot-safeI understand that to add an alternate boot disk, I have to play with installgrub and then attach it in the pool.
But my question is : Is there a way to boot from my alternate hard disk by adding a new entry in menu.lst or is the only
way is to modify the BIOS parameter?
Thanks for your help,

Thanks for your answer Alan,
But ok, I imagineI can add a grub entry. But what I want to know is what is the exact way to boot from an alternate hard disk on Solaris 10u6
x86.AFAIK there are only two ways to do this. Select the disks via BIOS which becomes a royal PITA in a short amount of time or play with a boot manager such as GRUB until you get the syntax right.
Personally I put all OS's on the primary disks if possible to avoid these situations and if I have others to play with then you can easily mount them in or set them up as D: drive etc...
The only exception would be in an enterprise setting where you need to do things such as mirroring but then again in those situations it's only one OS per machine anyways so it's much easier.
So at the end, I am not sure what I have to configure and what is the procedure to boot from my alternate boot diskTry the grub homepage for the grub manual and hopefully for a mailing list or try a search engine.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/zfsboot-1?a=view
has an example to follow of using -B.
And moreover, the installgrub does not working for me :
root@mac1 # zpool status

You shouldn't need to do an installgrub if you installed Solaris. Try c5t4d0s0 not s2.

Hi All,
Looks like it was a driver / incompatibility / unsupported issue since 2 other much smaller USB keys (Lexar USB Flash Drive – 32GB, SanDisk Cruzer Colors – 4GB) were successfully mounted automatically by volfs service as follows:

Solaris 10 x86 5/08 audio driver for SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio

Hello out there, I recently installed Solaris 10 x86 5/08 on my IBM ThinkPad T60 (2007-63U) and I'm really impressed how well it is working.
The only thing I've found not working so far is the audio.
I've installed the Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0 from:
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Hardware%20Drivers&tab=3&subcat=Audio%20Devices
...but it still is not recognizing the audio device.
Everything else is working great (thank you Sun and the OpenSolaris Community!!!!!!!), so getting the audio working would be even better.
Any pointers anyone has on what to look for on the system (e.g. in /var/adm/messages) or how to configure the audio to support the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio would be greatly appreciated.

...well, I've tried building oss-v4.0-build1016-src-cddl but I haven't been able to get it to work.
In preparation for the build, I did install Sun Studio 12 (from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp ), patched it, and installed gawk-3.1.6 ( from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html ) and ran configure/make install as instructed which successfully completed.
The following is what I get when executing ossdetect:
================================================================================
rem_drv osscore
rem_drv hdaudio
rem_drv ossusb
rem_drv sadasupport
Driver (osscore) not installed.
unloaded osscommon

devfsadm: driver failed to attach: ossusb
Warning: Driver (ossusb) successfully added to system but failed to attach
add_drv -m '* 0666 root sys' sadasupport
/dev/mixer: No such file or directory
================================================================================
To note, the Solaris 10 x86 5/08 installation I am running on is the full distribution +OEM.
I also cannot find the "soundon" or "soundoff" scripts referenced in the OSS build instructions.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart installing from cd instead of install server

Hi all,
I am building a Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart server and was able to jump the client to a certain point. The jump appears to be running but for some reason stops after the first CD ( very peculiar considering the jumpstart is automated). After watching the jump, I discover that the install is using my CD to install rather than from the install server. It is, however, getting the sysidcfg info, rules and profiles from my install server. I booted from CD and then selected Custom Jumpstart to install via the network. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is my add_install_client command:
/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06/Solaris_10/Tools/add_install_client -s server1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06 -c server1:/jumpstart -p server1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg host1 i86pc
Here is the output from that command:

module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot
BTW, can someone tell me how to create a grub floppy? Can't seem to find any documentation on that!
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Here is the error output:

So, I have tried this with the -i, -e -i+-e, with -s and without.

Sun one 7 update 3 + solaris 8 -x86 setup crashes..!

Hi
I'm having a wierd problem setting up sun one app server update 3 on solaris 8 x86 platform.
The issue is that when i try running the setup it crashes
======================================
./setup -console
ld.so.1: ./setup: fatal: libCstd.so.1: open failed: No such file or Directory
Killed
======================================
I guess the app server is not fiding some shared object.. so i edited /etc/default/init and added
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib.. but no luck ! I could not find any patch @ sunsolve that addresses this issue ...
The app server was supposed to be for solaris 9-x86. Is it causing the problem ? is there any workaround for this ?
Also does any one know how to remove all the windowing packages from a solaris machine ? I want the machie to be a server with no GUI stuff on it ..

Try collecting and looking into the sequence of all system calls taking place during setup execution with truss:
# truss -o truss.out -feald ./setup -console
There is a good chance that you might notice the reason why the ld is failing on trying to load the libCstd.so.

Next screen "Scanning Devices" works o.k.
Then the boot starts in line modus and shows the following:

Shortly later boot stops.
Please, can anybody tell me what the root of the error is? Is there something to be configured in the BIOS?
Thank you very much in advance!

Continuing installation of my Solaris 8 x86 after a long break.
As mentioned above, the installation works now with the patched ata.bef. The installation seems to work o.k. After completion of the installation, I boot to the second hard disk where my Solaris 8 x86 installation is located. Solaris boot manager appears, Solaris boot process begins but shortly after, it stops with the following message:
error: Configuration error - missing controller?
The root filesystem is not mounted and the configuration assistant has exited prematurely. Booting is unlikely to succeed. CRL-ALT-DEL may be used to reset the machine.
Failover to boot interpreter - type ctrl-d to resume boot
Pressing ctrl-d leads to
boot: source: open of '/etc/bootrc' failed
My configuration as mentioned at the beginning of the thread did not change in the meantime. Is there any idea what is wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Solaris 10 x86:detect new hard drive

hi.
I'm on solaris 10 X86, and I added a hdd today. I can see it in the bios, but nothing appears in my solaris' files: vfstab, mnttab...etc.
nevertheless, it's in the /var/adm/messages:
genunix: [ID 846691 kern.info] model IBM-DTLA-305020I tried touch /reconfigure;reboot and reboot -- -r, but still nothing.
How could I make solaris detect my new hdd please?

That's ok now.
I saw my hdd with the format command. After:
- partition option in the format command
- created new fs (with newfs)
- modified /etc/vfstab
- mounted /<new fs>
bye.

The Database of SunMc 4.0 didn't start, on Solaris 10 X86

Hello, happy new year, i am installing the three layers of SunMC 4.0 (server, agent and console), under Solaris 10 X86.

... and ... before running es-inst you have to add the PostgreSQL packages from the Solaris Media (5.10 U5 in my case)
Step order again:
- kill all postmaster processes (PostgreSQL Procs)
- if applicable svcadm disable all sunmc services
- /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-uninst -X
- remove all SUNWpostgr* and SUNWpg* packages
- install these Packages - to be downloaded from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc10.html:
libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.gz , zlib-1.2.3-sol10-sparc-local.gz , readline-5.2-sol10-sparc-local.gz
or - the x64 respectively
- edit /etc/project to have this line for "default" : default:3::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,2684354456,deny)
the value have to be calculated by one third of your physical memory.
- add the original postgreSQL packages from the Solaris install media :
SUNWpostgr-libs
SUNWpostgr
SUNWpostgr-contrib
SUNWpostgr-devel
SUNWpostgr-server-data
SUNWpostgr-server
SUNWpostgr-jdbc
SUNWpostgr-pl
SUNWpostgr-tcl
SUNWpostgr-docs
- run es-inst again from your install image path

LUN has gone AWOL - Solaris 10 x86, Emulex HBAs, IBM DS8300

We're setting up a test environment for our backup software, currently running on Windows, but targeted for Solaris. This is also a test of our first Solaris x86 deployment.
* HP DL580 G5 server.
* Solaris 10 x86 10/08 w/patch cluster from ~March 18th.
* One dual port Emulex HBA
* IBM DS8300 SAN
When we first set this up, we could see the one LUN in format. After adding in the IBM Multipathing software, the LUN disappeared and the FC devices are shown as unconfigured in `cfgadm -al`. We removed the IBM multipathing software, but still cannot see the LUN. Did a reconfiguration reboot and all that.

#We're currently at a loss here. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I am checking sunsolve and google, with plenty of similar hits, but no resolution as yet.
Thanks,

Ok, so after that detailed message, my SAN admin just realised he hadn't assigned any LUNs to the server. :D
The LUN that we had seen previously was an artifact from an earlier configuration.

Keyboard messed up on Solaris 10 x86 after applying patch update

I have run into a keyboard problem on my Solaris 10 desktop. The keyboard is messed up. When I type �root� then it echoes as �eiir�. It is a Solaris 10 x86 system with PS/2 keyboard. The keyboard layout is US-English and type is generic 104 keys. The keyboard works fine in text mode but gets messed up as soon as the graphical login screen comes up.
The output for �eeprom kbd-type� is �kbd-type=US-English(104-Key)�.
The output for �kbd -l� is
�type=6
layout=33 (0x21)
delay(ms)=500
rate(ms)=40�.
Running command �showrev -p | grep 118966� shows �
Patch: 118966-11 Obsoletes: Requires: Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWxorg-xkb, SUNWxorg-server, SUNWxorg-doc, SUNWxorg-graphics-ddx

The file /var/dt/Xerrors contains the following error �
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:

My keyboard was working fine till around a couple of days back and messed up after performing updates with Sun Update Manager. The patch 118966-21 was installed during that update and so was patch 118844-30. I have not tried uninstalling either of these patches to see if that fixes the problem. Should I?
Please help!!! Thanks�

Problem solved... me the n00b...
After reading the log in /var/dt/Xerrors more closely this time I found that it was trying to load module "Keyboard" for the device "Keyboard1" and was not able to find that module. The log was also suggesting that this module is deprecated and I should use "kbd" instead... Made the changes in xorg.conf and things are good now...

Jumpstart: Disable user registration in Solaris 10 x86 8/07

Earlier Solaris version let you disable the user registration screen by adding DISABLE=1 to /etc/default/solregis or not installing SUNWsregu. That doesn't work with Solaris 10 x86 8/07. There is no SUNWsregu package.
Can this still be disabled?

Confirmed: I just jumpstarted with Solaris 10 x86 (10/09) AKA Update 8, and touched the .nvreg file into existence with a finish script. The system no longer prompts to register at first login.
Finish script code snipit:
if [ -d ${BASEDIR}/usr/lib/breg/data ]; then
touch ${BASEDIR}/usr/lib/breg/data/.nvreg
fi
