Can Solaris 8 be installed on 2nd HD?

I have 1 IDE HD and 2 SCSI HDs. The installer (interactive
mode) always points to my Master IDE Drive to make fdisk Solaris partition. Is anyone installed Solaris 8 to the other drive?

This is not simple, I think. I tried it a few times without success. Then I tried this (my system has 2 IDE HDs): I unconnected my master HD and connected my slave HD as master. Then I installed Solaris. After this I connected the HDs like before. Then I booted with the Solaris boot diskette. After configuring devices you can choose "boot tasks". After changing the default boot path it was possible to boot from the 2nd HD. Unfortunately you can only boot with the diskette. I tried to use LiLo Bootmanager to boot from the solaris boot partition on the 2nd HD but without success. Perhaps it is possible to copy this partition to master HD and change boot options permanently but I didn't try this.

  • Can Solaris be installed in Virtual PC 2007?

    Hello
    Can Solaris 10 be installed within Virtual PC 2007?
    The reason I want to use Virtual PC instead of something like VMware or VirtualBox, is because of it's [BCD capabilities|http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=129475].
    Please tell me if it is possible to install Solaris within the Virtual PC 2007 virtual machine.
    Thanks in advance,
    Panarchy

    OpenSolaris is an open source project and the community can definitely take on something like this. OpenSolaris 2008.11 is tested for the following VM,
    Xvm (Xen), VirtualBox, VMware and informally Parallels under OS X. I would encourage you to first verify if this is an issue for OpenSolaris 2008.11 and if so start the discussions on [email protected] LiveCD iso is under 700MB so it does not take too long to download.

  • Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

    Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

    There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files.  Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
    Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

  • Can I install a 2nd HDD in my Satellite P200-10C?

    Hi
    I have a Satellite P200-10C which I want to upgrade with a 2nd HDD. I called a Toshiba representative who told me my model doesn't support an other HDD. But then again, why does it have a place in the back of the laptop for a 2nd one?
    Could some one tell me if it can be used to accommodate a 2nd HDD.
    Thanks in advance
    Gerardo

    @Jayjay
    I finally decided to open the compartment for the 2nd HDD of my Satellite P200-10C. I discovered there the modem (I think) and enough space to accommodate a HDD but alas! No connector for the HDD. I think that settled the matter. I can not have a 2nd HDD. Unless of course someone in the future find a way to attach a connector.
    Thanks for your answer, Jajay

  • When i install a 2nd 1gb stick of memory in my pavilion dv6000t laptop, the laptop will not boot.

    HP Pavilion dv6000t running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit version.  My system currently is running on a single 1GB stick of memory.  I have a 2nd matching 1GB stick of memory.  When I install the 2nd stick of memory the system will not boot.  All the lights come on, the hard drive spins up, but you can not even get into the BIOS setup screen, it just sits there with a blank screen.  What could be causing this.  Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    Hi:
    When I encounter issues like that, I switch the memory modules to see if one of the chips is bad.
    So, I recommend you remove the one memory chip that is working, and put the other one in its place.
    If the PC boots up, now install the second chip and see what happens.
    If it doesn't boot up, then there is some undefined hardware issue.
    If the PC doesn't boot up when you initially switch the memory with the one stick, then you know that the one memory module is bad.

  • Solaris 10 x86 install problems allocating resources

    I have a problem when I first install. I get two devices, NON ACPI and ACPI both using IRQ 3. After the conflict resolves, during some page instances of the boot configuration assistant, I lose my keyboard functionality.
    This is currently set to IRQ 1. I was wondering if this was correct based on x86 platform specific resources. I am also unsure as to what port I need to use.
    Has anyone ever tried anything different other than IRQ 1?
    AMD K6 400 w/ adaptec 2940 UW / 2 x 9.1 GB scsi Quantum 7200 rpm 56x ide cdrom and 192 mb memory SDRAM
    Even if I switch my pci config around physically, that still won't help the keyboard probing or will it? Can I shut off probing and do it manually? Then again, I lose the keyboard sometimes during the boot config.
    Thanks,
    KW

    I think u should do one thing.
    1) Find out your name of your NIC card. ( Probably if u installed XP and seen which NIC is that)
    2) Download drivers for your NIC by giving something like " download network drivers for solaris for ' your NIC' ".
    3) If fortunately if u get drivers, copy it on ur solaris machine and install it by reading readme file of the drivers.
    4) In readme file u will also find NIC name.
    5) Then run command " ifconfig (card name e.g. bcme0) plumb
    6) Now run "ifconfig -a" if u find ur card name there except le0 then congrats u have done it.
    7) Move ahead with network config.
    Note : - I am not sure but i think if ur machine is old then u will not get drivers for it.
    Tell me if u get success........

  • Unbootable Solaris 10 x86 installed on ZFS root file system

    Hi all,
    I have unbootable Solaris 10 x86 installed on ZFS root file system. on an IDE HDD
    The bios keep showing the msg
    DISK BOOT FAILURE , PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM BOOT DISK
    please note :
    1- the HDD is connected properly and recognized by the system
    2- GRUB don't show any messages
    is there any guide to recover the system , or detail procedure to boot system again
    Thanks,,,

    It's not clear if this is a recently installed system that is refusing to boot OR if the system was working fine and crashed.
    If it's the former, I would suggest you check the BIOS settings to make sure it's booting from the right hard disk. In any case, the Solaris 10 installation should have writting the GRUB stage1 and stage2 blocks to the beginning of the disk.
    If the system crashed and is refusing to boot, you can try to boot from a Solaris 10 installation DVD. Choose the single user shell option and see if it can find your system. You should be able to use format/devfsadm/etc to do the actual troubleshooting. If your disk is still responding, try a `zpool import` to see if there is any data that ZFS can recognize (it usually has many backup uberblocks and disk labels scattered around the disk).

  • How to install a 2nd 10.2.0.5 OMS without the 'upgrade database' step?

    Fellow DBAs...
    We have OEM environment which uses OMS version 10.2.0.5 - it's recently been upgrade from the 10.2.0.1 base release.
    We are trying to install a 2nd OMS. In order to do this we install the base 10.2.0.1 release, and then apply the 10.2.0.5 patch - however, during the patch install the installer tries to 'upgrade' the database again - this causes the install to hang, and eventually we have to crash out of the install.
    Does anyone know how to get round this? Is there a flag to skip this step? I thought it would be something like "softwareonly", but I can't find anything that works...
    Thanks

  • Can Solaris 10 boot from USB devices like USB thumb?

    1. Any live CD build for Solaris 10? That's the one which can boot up from CD and run immediately.
    No installation requirement.
    2. Can Solaris 10 boot from USB devices like USB thumb?

    You can find "live" CD and DVD images at OpenSolaris site: www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site. This OSolaris version is booted from CD/DVD drive and can be permanently installed on HD drive. Moreover You can find at this site suitable script for USB thumb preparation. However You should remember that the number of read/writes on USB thumb is limited (ca 400 and slightly more in more expensive versions).
    Good luck.

  • How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?

    How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?
    Is it possible for one team member to install it for example on a portable mac and a desktop pc at the same time?

    From the Creative Cloud FAQ at https://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the Purchasing and getting started section:
    On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
    You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both.
