Boot SUN Fire V245 from USB DVD

Hi,
I am trying to install Solaris on SUN Fire V245 by booting from USB DVD, but in vain. Boot PROM Version in the server is: 4.22.33 and this doesn't contain a internal DVD.
Can any one help me out to complete the installation from external USB DVD?
Thanks in-advance
sk

Could you please give me the exact product number for your notebook?

  • How to flash bios on Sun Fire X2100  (without cd/dvd drive ) from solaris.

    Hi I have the following problem. I need to udpdate bios in my sun fire x2100 (not the m2 version). Installed system on it is the latest solaris 10. I have also one laptop with sxce b107. I need to update bios to support zfs root/mirror.
    Both devices are int the one subnet.
    I download supplement cd from sun, but I was pretty amazed that there is available only remote update from rhel (32bit) or boot from cd/dvd drive.
    Any help is welcome.

    1. If an OS is installed:
    - log in as you described
    - shutdown the server with `init 0`
    - this should bring you to the OK prompt
    - Insert the bootable system software CDROM into the CDROM drive
    - On the OK prompt, type `boot cdrom`
    2. If no OS is installed:
    - connect to the serial management port with your PC (Hyperterminal)
    -> NOTE: you will need a DB-25 Adapter (Part No. 530-2889)
    connect this adapter to the serial port of your PC, then connect the adapter
    with an RJ45 cable to the serial management port of the server
    -> Serial Port Settings in Hyper Terminal:
    Duplex: Full
    Bit Rate: 9600
    Parity: None
    Databits: 8
    Stopbit: 1
    Flow Control: Xon/Xoff
    VT100 Emulation (if applicable): ON
    - change to the OK prompt by typing `break`
    -> if this does not work, try `reset -x`
    - make sure your OS Installation CDROM is in the drive
    - at the OK prompt, type `boot cdrom`

  • Booting from USB DVD on Lenovo X121e

    Hi, any idea how to boot from a Lenovo recovery disk for Windows 7 on a USB driven DVD drive? The laptop is currently running Linux so can't run from within the operating system. The BIOS utility doesn't recognise the drive no matter what I select in the boot menu (USB CD, USB FDD or USB HDD) and the F12 boot utility also doesn't recognise the drive. Incidently, F12 does recognise the Linux USB drive so I know this works. The external drive is a Leicke DVD R/RW DVD.
    The reason for wanting to boot from the Windows 7 recivery drive is to reinstall Win 7 on a new install, dual boot Linux (Mint), then install iTunes on WIn 7so I can sync my iPhone, and run everything else under Linux. I've tried using a Win emulator under Linux but unsucessfully.
    I noticed this question was asked a couple oi years ago by another member but no resolution. Thanks, Nik
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    in order to perform factory recovery from the Lenovo image BIOS Setup menu settings should be:
    - "UEFI/Legacy Boot" -> "Both"
    - "UEFI/Legacy Boot Priority" -> "Legacy First"
    Select USB CD as bootable drive.

  • Cannot boot from USB-DVD on HP Envy 13

    Even when the USB DVD drive is selected as the primary boot device or selected as boot device after pressing ESC and F9, I cannot boot from DVD.
    According to another post I have:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g-Windows-8-and-Software/Boot-problem-but-...
    I have problems booting from HDD as well, and now I also have problems booting from DVD. I have tried 3 different bootable DVDs.
    Does anyone have any ideas to how the booting process could be corrupted any further and how I can regain the boot-from-DVD function? Now I cannot even run the recover DVD and recover the PCs factory settings.
    However, I can still boot from HDD following the description from the other posting.
    Thanks with best regards

  • Trouble installing Vista 64 from USB DVD

    I am trying to install Vista64 from external DVD thru USB.  It boots from the DVD and starts the install process, but after I click on 'Install Now', it puts a screen that says I need a driver for my external DVD before it can proceed.  Where do I get this?
    Thanks,   I have an X61s.

    It is an issue iwth our older EFI 1.x (or EFI32) and Vista SP1 64-bit that needs UEFI 2.x (EFI64).
    Sort of the same issue as the Nvidia 8800GT had to come out in two flavors.
    I have Windows already installed, older pre-SP1, and from there I can install SP1 DVD.
    At this point, I much prefer Windows 7 over Vista x64 SP1 or SP2(beta). Just runs better. Last day tomorrow maybe to download.

  • Installation from USB DVD

    Hi,
    I have problem with build in DVD drive in my iMac computer. I would like
    to update the OS to a new Tiger but drive does not read installation DVD disk.
    I was trying to connect using USB DVD drive. I can start installation process but after computer restart it uses old startup disk. Is it possible to update the system using USB DVD drive and if yes how to do this.
    Thank you david

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Shalom, and Shannah Tovah (well I should say Gregorian Calendar Shannah Tovah)!
    No this is not possible. Mac OS X will boot off Firewire drives only.
    See this article:
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n58606
    Your Powerbook G4 will boot off Firewire drives.
    There is also a CD Media Exchange on http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/ which I don't know if it is available in Israel, but see if it is by looking at the equivalent link on Apple's website. I couldn't find it here from the U.S.

  • Satellite P855-34K can't boot in CSM mode from USB or ODD

    Hi everyone, first time here for me.
    I recently bought a Satellite P855-34K laptop, with UEFI, and I'm finding impossible to boot with UEFI set into CSM mode when using USB sticks or CDs/DVDs.
    And yes, I obviously DID disable Secure Boot and switched to CSM boot in UEFI's setup.
    Fast boot has always been disabled, too.
    I tried to toggle USB3.0/2.0 and the activation of USB in sleep mode, no way.
    Plus, that would make a difference for USB only, as I said optical media don't boot either.
    All medias (USB sticks and optical) work flawlessly on other computers, and don't support UEFI (so CSM booting is a must for me). I even tried two USB sticks on another, fairly recent, Toshiba laptop of a friend of mine (can't remember the model right now), and CSM boot worked flawlessly on that (I obviously needed to toggle the Secure Boot and UEFI/CSM boot options).
    Do note that USB sticks set up for UEFI boot DO work. In fact I have two OSes on my HDD, both set to boot via UEFI, and I installed the second OS with a UEFI stick.
    One more interesting fact: UEFI setup (F2 at boot) displays USB sticks make and model correctly. UEFI boot menu (F12 at boot) DOESN'T do that in CSM mode, but DOES in UEFI mode (obviously sticks won't boot in UEFI).
    I tried to search both on this forum and on Google, and I wasn't able to find an answer.
    Talking with Toshiba webform and phone support (and after going with them through every single UEFI/BIOS option and finding everything fine), they suggested to send the laptop to one of their service centers near me to better analyze the problem.
    But since this looks like a potential UEFI bug to me on my peculiar model, sending the laptop to them would be of little use: they would likely acknowledge the error in UEFI, but until Toshiba releases an update, nothing could be done; plus, I would have to go through the hassle of sending my laptop to another town and be without it for some days (the nearest service center is not quite near to my town).
    By the way, I have the latest BIOS (UEFI actually) version: 6.70.
    Well, congrats for reading all this :), sometimes I'm too verbose!
    Now the questions:
    - Does anyone with the same model have this problem?
    - To Toshiba forum personnel reading this: if it's a problem affecting this model, is Toshiba aware of the issue and/or doing something about it?
    - Are there any workarounds other than using/setting up UEFI-enabled boot media? Yes, I know UEFI is the long-term solution and eventually every OS will support it, but right now not every OS does and I NEED to boot from other media for various reasons.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi everyone, sorry for disappearing here, was busy... and couldn't carry on all the tests I wanted.
    However, the good news is that what *michael_toshiba_forum* found apparently works for me, too!
    *I loaded the setup defaults from the BIOS (UEFI) setup, and now it appers I can finally boot both CSM and UEFI media!*
    Great find michael, thank you! By the way, USB sticks make and models now DO appear in the F12 menu while in CSM!
    *EDIT:* of course, thanks to Tonny too, for pointing out the link to the other thread!
    Didn't test all my media thoroughly, though. I'll post more accurate results as soon as I can.
    However, while it looks like we have the solution to the problem, we still don't know the cause, and I feel this deserves to be investigated more.
    Let me explain my point: I checked (and double-checked on the phone with a Toshiba tech) every +single+ UEFI setup option, and couldn't find anything wrong, as I said in my original post. One interesting UEFI feature is that it introduces "UEFI variables" (as I read online), and as far as I understand there is +not+ a way to interact with them in UEFI setup (at least not on my PC!). If the problem was a wrongly set UEFI variable, maybe doing a "load default" did reset both UEFI parameters +and+ variables.
    And since UEFI variables are intended to be modified by programs too (unlike legacy BIOS parameters stored in CMOS), I think we may have some scenarios where programs could potentially trigger the problem again. *michael_toshiba_forum* said in his other thread that his problem was triggered after upgrading to Win8.1. Maybe in my case this is due to the second OS I installed (Kubuntu 13.04) just after buying my laptop.
    Anyway, I'll do some tests again and do some research and report my findings.
    IMHO, if my theory is right, Toshiba should create a README for this, the solution to this problem looks not so obvious (nor me neither Toshiba support thought about it).

  • HT1820 how do you restore the hard drive with install cd after zeroing out all files? when i try to boot install disk or from usb a kernel panic screen appears telling me to restart my computer.

    everytime i try to boot installation a message appears saying 'you need to restart your computer. holddown the power button until power is off then press down power button again'. i read that it was a kernel panic. cant boot into any modes but recovery mode with disk utilities but my wireless internet says no wifi hardware installed and sometimes startup manager. this just started after i erased the hard drive and had it overwritten with zeros. its a macbook pro 7,1. bought it in 2011, i think it was made in 2009. it has 320 gb of empty space right now and nothing ive tried seems to work. please help!!!! there is also no os x installed right now due to me zeroing out the hard drive how do i repair it so it will boot to installation?? i can also enter single user mode but do not have root access?

    You are getting a kernel panic because you are trying to boot the computer with a Tiger DVD. That model requires 10.6.3 - Snow Leopard. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:

  • Can't boot my Powerbook G4 from a DVD

    I am going to give my Powerbook G4 to a friend, so I thought I would wipe the drive and reinstall to OS. I was running 10.39. I started zeroing the drive and it locked. It finally quit booting from the DVD, so I connected it to my MacPro Intel with firewire and initialized the hard drive.
    I reset the Pram several times and have tried to boot from the 3.9 DVD with C and option keys, neither will boot up from the DVD. The option key gives me 2 folders, 3/4 circle arrow and straight arrow. Clicking them doesn't get me anywhere.
    I tried to load the OS from my MacPro but it won't let me, since I have 10.5 loaded on it.
    Any ideas?

    MaplegroveBob,
    The flashing question mark folder means that the computer can not find a valid system folder to boot to.
    What does it say "exactly" on the cd or dvd that you are trying to boot to? It should have an OS version # and say if it is a cd or dvd disk. Is this the original install disk for the PowerBook or a full retail install disk for 10.3.x Panther?
    What happens when you reboot holding the "x" key down (without the disk you are trying to use in the drive)? edit: Strike that, as you said you wiped the drive so there won't be a system to bootup to. If the disks are the correct original install or a full retail install disk for 10.3 and it does not boot then either the drive is damaged or the disk your using is damaged I would imagine.

    lol... sorry i forgot feedback part... well people are looking at what i asked, but no one writes back.
    I think it would be better at least admins direct members to the sources where they can find some info.

    Hi
    I doubt you could boot from USB flash disk
    As I remember the older notebook series support the booting from HDD, ODD, LAN and USB FDD drive (diskette). The booting from USB flash disk is not supported.

  • Cannot boot from USB/dvd-drive on Satellite Pro M10

    Hi,
    since the internal dvd-drive is broken, an external USB drive is used. Now, I need to reinstall windows on a new harddrive. How can I boot from this external drive? (I do have a Floppy disk drive, but I cannot find the right drivers)
    Thanks,
    Luc

    Hi,
    you dont need any drivers for that USB-drive because the USB-floppy is a integrated peripheral of your computer. That means, everytime you connect the floppy to your machine, the computer sets that floppy like a internal hardwired floppy and thats the reason you wont need any drivers.
    Its already installed when you plug it in.
    Cheers
