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.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

Hello, I was wondering if I install a clean version of Windows XP using bootcamp, will I be able to install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on it? I've been reading that this cannot work on the Intel chip. Please let me know as I am interested in purchasing the MacBook, but I also need to do DEV on the machine, thus I need to us MC VPC 2007.
Thanks.

welcome to macbook forum.
it should work just fine since boot camp with XP or vista, will act as a PC laptop.
But the problem might be when you have to select the partition for installing your other guest OS, unless you point that guess OS (win 2000, another XP or else) to external HD if virtual PC support guess os from external connection.
Good Luck.

[SOLVED] FTP install (in MS Virtual PC 2007)

Hi all,
I'm new to Archlinux, coming from Debian and Ubuntu distros.
I'm attempting to install Archlinux in an MS Virtual PC 2007 VM at my work. Everything seems to have gone fine so far until I get to select my packages. It says on any server I choose, "Error fetching package list from server". The first step "Configure Network" seemed to go fine, using DHCP. I moved to another console (Alt-F4) and checked my rc.conf settings. Under "Networking" I have:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
When I try the command ifconfig it shows all my networking info, which looks fine to me. When I ping google.com it returns, "ping: unknown host google.com" which would mean my network isn't working. I tried restarting the networking daemon with "/etc/rc.d/network restart" and it didn't help.
I wonder if it's because it's in a VM? Or should I not do the FTP install? Or is there something missing in my rc.conf?
Thanks.

Hmm, I'm not sure about DNS.
I can ping the rounter fine.
I setup a "static ip" entry in rc.conf. So my config looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.116 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
I made sure 192.168.1.116 wasn't already being used by pinging it on my host computer.
Restarting the network daemon and pinging google.com still results with packet loss. I wonder if it's something to do with my works network configuration. I'll try this again when I get home.

Installing Oracle Virtual Directory Manager client on Solaris 10

Hi,
While installing Oracle Virtual Directory Client on solaris 10, I am getting
"ovidm1014.bin : /tmp/install.dir.<number>/linux/resource/jre/bin/java: cannot execute" error while initiating the installer.
Can someone look into the message and advice me in overcoming the issue as we are held up on this for three days?
Earliest reply is favoured
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks once again for reply!!
If you already installed Oracle Virtual Directory Manager on Sun SPARC, can you brief us pre-requisite setting and installation steps, so that we can follow the same.
Because, we are getting error in the initialization of installation process itself. So, I think there must be some configuration settings to be made.
We already raised SR (Service Request) with Oracle, bu there is no reply from their side till now.
I am waiting for your reply ASAP
Regards

Minimize and maximize Solaris 10 installed on VM virtual Box.

How can I minimize and maximize Solaris 10 installed on VM virtual Box.
Thanks
Paulo

Solaris is working just fine. Everything is ok. now since I open Solaris via VM Virtual box, the Solaris main page fills only half of the monitor. I can minimize/maximize the Virtual Box. But Solaris dimensions are fix and doesn't change. This leaves me a little room to open applications on Solaris. I had the same problems with my Ubuntu, by installing adds-on it was fixed. For Solaris I installed Guest additions, didnt help.
Thanks
Paulo

Installing EBS R12 in virtual pc 2007

Hi hussein,
I have a laptop with 4Gb Ram and win7 OS.
I installed virtual pc 2007 on it. I planned to install EBS R12 on linux rhel 4.6 so...
I tried installing Linux RHEL 4.6 using the ordinary CD installer, but when I finished the login screen resolution
is not correct, I see big colored bars and the text are so big. How do you resolve this?
I my installer not compatible with virtual pc 2007? is there different linux version made for the virtual pc?
Can you help me find docs on those who have successfully installed EBS on virtual pc?
Is ubuntu linux also supported by EBS R12? I see some sample install but Im not sure if this is ordinary/normal
ubuntu or it is made special for virtual pc only like the "XP Mode" installer which not really the normel XP cd
i guess.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
I tried installing Linux RHEL 4.6 using the ordinary CD installer, but when I finished the login screen resolution
is not correct, I see big colored bars and the text are so big. How do you resolve this?Is this at the end of the installation or when accessing the application? Sometimes, Rapid Install failed to complete the post check and you will have to start the application services manually and click on the retry button to finish the installation.
I my installer not compatible with virtual pc 2007? is there different linux version made for the virtual pc?It should be OK to use this software. However, I would recommend you go with a software which was test before (I did manage to install Oracle Apps 11i/R12 on RHEL/OEL 4 and 5 running on VMWare with no issues).
Can you help me find docs on those who have successfully installed EBS on virtual pc?I am not aware of any link/document that covers Oracle Apps 11i/R12 installation on Virtual PC, so you may google it and see if any installation steps have been tried before).
Is ubuntu linux also supported by EBS R12? I see some sample install but Im not sure if this is ordinary/normal
ubuntu or it is made special for virtual pc only like the "XP Mode" installer which not really the normel XP cd
i guess.It is not supported. I have also seen couple of documents covering the installation steps on this OS, but I am not going to say it would work.
I would suggest you go with a certified Linux OS on VMware, and see if it works. Or, mention more details about your previous installation so we may try to fix it.
Regards,
Hussein

Installing Arch in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1

Firstly, I'm very new to linux and am looking to try out as many distros as possible before deciding on which one to learn from. I want a simple but powerful distro which has minimal packages which will allow me to develop a system myself, learning how the OS works along the way. Arch linux looks like the one.
I've tried to install from the ftp iso "archlinux-2009.02-ftp-i686" onto Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 on my Pentium 4 3.4GHz PC. I get a "Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill the idle task! message" after a message "unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x1db", a hex dump and "EIP: [<c010982c>] text_poke_early+0x4c/0x70 SS:ESP 0068:c042fe90" message.
Don't know whether this means anything or I've missed something obvious. Does anyone have an experience of this type of install? Have I downloaded the wrong ISO?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Arch does seem to have a few issues when running in a VM. More so than when using actual metal.
That should be the correct CD.
I never had much luck with MS Virtual PC. Maybe try VirtualBOX from Sun?
I don't know if your pentium 4 has support for hardware virtualisation. Without hardware support the performance will be less than impressive and I found I had more issues without hardware virtualisation when running vms.

2007 MBP, couldn't install Lion, now can't re-install Leopard

I have a MBP from late 2007. It came with Leopard installed on it. I recently tried to upgrade to Lion, but received the message "Lion can't be installed on this computer". Now I can't reinstall Leopard. When I try to boot, it will always select the Lion partition, but I can't erase/unmount the Lion partition. Now, when I try to boot from the Leopard DVD, it also won't work.
How can I get rid of all remnants of Lion on my computer and install leopard, from the CD?
Thanks!

Your 2007 MBP would have to been updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to install Lion. Now that you're in a mess, boot from your Leopard installer disk and Erase the disk and then install Leopard.

You can only install Exchange 2013 SP1 on Server 2012 R2

Thank you in advance..In general, each product has an installation manual - found through http://docs.oracle.com and possibly http://tahiti.oracle.com and the install manual clearly identifies the (minimum) support OS and Release information.
