I do get zones working on a full "end user" install -- but then I also get sh*tloads of stuff I really don't want on a server (GNOME, CDE, StarOffice, Evolution, Mozilla, X11, OpenWin, ...). Removing the spurious fluff won't work; some packages removal scripts seem to be broken, and dependency checking is, well, living hell on Solaris 10.
I would like a simple thing, which is: a very basic, bare-bones installation of a Solaris 10 server -- WITH zones.
Perhaps this is an impossible dream. Is it?

Opscenter 12c creating new zones on x86 server failing

Asking for some help!!!,
We are in the process of implementing Oracle Cloud Control 12c and of course Opscenter is a piece of it. When using Opscenter to install new zones on Sparc platform all works as expected. When using Opscenter to install new zones on a x86 server the process fails with not much information to go on. Without being too verbose with error messages we found the following in the /var/log/zones/zoneadm.323213129xxxx.ddasdhasdj.install file
Running auto-install: '/usr/bin/auto-install -z ddasdhasdj -Z dsaas7990000000000000dasdasda7777/rpool/ -m /tmp/manifest.xml.dsada -c /var/mnt/virtlibs/312321312890/zone-config-profile.xml

===== Completed: /usr/lib/brand/solaris/pkgcreatezone this command is also followed by much of the same command-line qualifiers from above.
I'll will say this, the auto-install failed message is actually coming from line 242 fo the pkgcreatezone script found in /usr/lib/brand/solaris
Anyone with experience or knowledge in the area is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
As it happens, yesterday, one our guys was working on the machine and rebooted it removing the /system/volatile/install_log so I can't say at this point. I did take a look at the log earlier and can't remember what I saw. I'll have him do another install attempt and let you know what we see.

Error with boot new zone

hi from Bulgaria
I've made 3 non-global zones and everything was fine but after i tried to the four one the following error occur
when i tried to boot it:
bash-2.05b# zoneadm list -vc

Hello,
Which build are you running (uname -v)?
Can you try the following command:
# ifconfig bge0 addif 1.2.3.4/24 up
and see if it produces the same error message ("No buffer space available")?
Thanks,

Cannot boot up in mac os after failed attempt

I've literally just opened up my new 24" imac and everything was running fine.
I used boot camp assistant to try and install windows xp on my computer.
After partitioning, I inserted a windows installation cd and clicked the last button in the boot camp asssistant and my computer restarted.
As expected it loaded up in a DOS-like window and I was prompted to install my cd of windows.
I'm guessing I didn't have a proper windows xp cd because it came with two cds. It began installing windows from the first cd, but I had to insert the second one to complete installation. Since there's no real way to eject a cd on the mac aside from the keyboard I had to cancel my windows installation.
At this point all I could do was force shutdown the computer and now whenver i turn it on it loads into the dos-like window and I can't load up mac os.
If anybody could help me out or at least point me in the right direction, it would be a greeeeeeaaaat help! I'm just bummed I was stupid enough to screw up my new imac an hour after opening it
Thanks!

Restart the computer with the X key held down, or with the Option key held down followed by selecting the Mac OS X system in the list, clicking on the button with the straight arrow, and then changing the startup disk from the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

New zone and inherited file system mount point error

Hi - would anyone be able to help with the following error please. I've tried to create a new zone that has the following inherited file system:
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /usr/local/var/lib/sudo
But when I try to install it fails with:
root@tdukunxtest03:~ 532$ zoneadm -z tdukwbprepz01 install
A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
Preparing to install zone <tdukwbprepz01>.
ERROR: cannot create zone <tdukwbprepz01> inherited file system mount point </export/zones/tdukwbprepz01/root/usr/local/var/lib>
ERROR: cannot setup zone <tdukwbprepz01> inherited and configured file systems
ERROR: cannot setup zone <tdukwbprepz01> file systems inherited and configured from the global zone
ERROR: cannot create zone boot environment <tdukwbprepz01>
I've added this because unknown to me when I installed sudo from sunfreeware in the global it requires access to /usr/local/var/lib/sudo - sudo itself installs in /usr/local. And when I try to run any sudo commands in the new zone it gave this:
sudo ls
Password:
sudo: Can't open /usr/local/var/lib/sudo/tdgrunj/8: Read-only file system
Thanks - Julian.

Think I've just found the answer to my problem, I'd already inherited /usr ..... and as sudo from freeware installs in /usr/local I guess this is never going to work. I can only think to try the sudo version of the Solaris companion DVD or whatever it's called.

Cannot boot to new SSD

I replaced my existing hard drive with a new Crucial MX100 256GB SSD. Had no problems installing the SSD and installed OS X Yosemite via usb key.
Problem I have is cannot boot to this SSD at all. I tried setting it as the startup disk but it doesn't appear in the list of disks.
But I checked it with Disk Utility and it's mounted. I ran a verify disk and no errors where found. I also erased it and set it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
But still cannot boot

I created a new parition with a GUID partition table but still doesn't work. Still don't get the option to isntall to my SSD when i boot up with my Yosemite install USB. I also tried to make it the Startup Disk but it doesn't appear in that screen.
Could it be the data cable? Here's a screen shot of what I see in Disk Utility (sorry about the spotlight search bar)

Toshiba A500-1H1 after recovery on new hard drive cannot boot

Hi, I had to replace hard drive because old one is broken. I used recovery media I've created after opening laptop first time as you suggested with Toshiba support. Recovery is fine, but during windows configuration I had information about not certified signatures and windows cannot boot. There is error suggesting that maybe hardware was changed. So my question is ? Buying Toshiba laptops I cannot change my harddrive, so if any part of Toshiba is broken I have to buy new notebook ? Or maybe I can access to my Windows764bit key and download from microsoft windows and install and configure this by myself ?
Please help, I need this notebook for work ! Best Regars,Paul

Hi, thanks for your reply - I FOUND A SOLUTION, a quick description about my problems is below. 1. First of all. My Toshiba HDD is broken in that way that it cannot be booted. I did a couple low level tests (one took about 90 hours !!) and surface is free from bad sectors. Disk is in very good condition, but I suppose controller in disk is broken because everything is installed correctly, recovery takes about 20 minutes and after rebooting I have typical information about problem with reading boot information, BCD, 0xC000... And so on. So disk is working now as storage on usb. This disk was 320GB - original from Toshiba. 2. Then I tried use new one disk: Samsung 1TB. And I had this problem with booting again, but info from windows was about not certified drivers (when it tried install WiFi, and other drivers). Then I post this post here, but meanwhile I contact my support in Poland and they suggested me there can be a problem with DISK SIZE - they said this is TOO BIG FOR RECOVERY.. That was very strange for me - I heard first time the problem can be with too much space, not with not enough space Anyway I decided to buy new SSD 250GB (smaller than original Toshiba) hard drive. My recovery took me about 10 minutes. I have SATA3 SSD but Toshiba support SATA1, but anyway my computer seems to work 3x faster than before
So the problem was with original disk, controller (boot sectors maybe), and with too large new disk so Toshiba recovery disk couldn't manage.
Thank you for your concern. Best Rgards !

New Macbook pro shipped with Lion, cannot boot from SL CD

I have a brand new Macbook pro 17" - shipped with Lion, cannot boot from snow-lopard disk - tech said I would be able to downgrade. I cant because if I try to boot from the CD it just beeps 3 times. Boots just fine from a Lion startup disk I created first. What the heck is going on here? Very upset that i cannot reach apple support in the evening any longer. If anyone can help it would be awsome. Tnx good prople.

Hi Paul,
Just a quick question, are your Fn keys working properly and the 2 fingered scrolling?
I've done much the same with the help of 2 Apple Geniuses who found me an original 10.6.7 install disk for a my new macbook pro.
It installed OK but... Fn keys don't work apart from F3 and F12, the rest give an error sound. 2 fingered scrolling on the trackpad doesn't work either.
Mine was a custom build 15" with hi res glossy screen - I wonder if they've put in the newer wired keyboard mentioned here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4809
or, if my problem relates to being on 10.6.7...
Any info would be gratefully received.

Cannot boot after recovering a FileVault 2 protected disk

I used Lion's new recovery HD partition to restore a four day old Time Machine backup. However, two days ago I enabled FileVault 2, which is probably the cause of the fact that I cannot boot my mac anymore. As the whole disk is locked, I cannot access the recovery partition either. Disk Utility of Snow Leopard install DVD doesn't support unlocking the partition, it is grayed out and therefore I'm not able to mount it. I honestly don't know yet how I can fix this problem. Can you help me?

Unlocking worked using the DVD, but I could never really make it bootable anymore. Reinstallation of Lion on the existing partition didn't work either. Just FYI, when trying to make the disk the startup disk it give me the following error: 'Building boot caches on boot helper partition failed'. The only solution that worked and was good enough for me was to delete the partition, reinstall lion and restoring time machine data on the new installation afterwards.

Cannot boot after a migration to systemd in OpenVZ

EDIT: I "solved" my problem, and I doubt this thread will ever help anybody. You're warned.
Hello,
Earlier today, my Arch install that was still running with initscripts (and without the last filesystem/bash upgrade) suddently rebooted, and that broke a certain number of things (services weren't starting anymore, etc.). I figured I had waited too long before migrating to systemd for good, and therefore I followed the migration guide on the Wiki, added the "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" kernel parameter and rebooted again.
Sadly, ps -p 1 was still showing init instead of systemd. After a few more tries, I installed systemd-sysvcompat (thus replacing the sysvinit package), and rebooted again. That last reboot failed. Now OpenVZ stops suddently with the following messages:
[root@ks /]# vzctl start 106
Starting container ...
vzquota : (warning) Quota is running for id 106 already
Container is mounted
Adding IP address(es): ***
Setting CPU units: 1000
Setting CPUs: 2
/bin/bash: line 72: /bin/cp: No such file or directory
ERROR: Can't copy file /etc/rc.conf
Unable to start init, probably incorrect template
Container start failed
Stopping container ...
Container was stopped
vzquota : (error) Quota off syscall for id 106: Device or resource busy
vzquota off failed [3]
I tried to chroot in the VM folder and reinstall sysvinit, but that was too late:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/sysvinit-2.88-9-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
error: could not open file: /etc/mtab: No such file or directory
error: could not determine filesystem mount points
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
It looks like I can't use pacman in a chroot. The host OS is not running Arch so I cannot use pacman with the --root flag.
I'm running out of ideas. Any help would be really appreciated...
Thank you.

The problem with the chroot options is that I don't have the root privileges on the host machine. I was only able to access that chroot thanks to a kind administrator, but I couldn't ask too much either.
OK, so I've done some Ugly Things, messed with the contents of the sysvinit package archive manually to get the right files at the right places, and eventually managed to boot my VM and get all the stuff working. I'm certainly not proud of myself, but at least things are working again for now. I'll do a clean reinstall later. Thank you for the suggestion, and sorry for the noise.
Cheers.

Curve 8320 corrupts OS periodically and then cannot boot (blinking LED only)

I have a T-Mobile BB Curve 8320 that I've had for about 9 months, and I have what appears to be a recurring problem.
Three times now, the phone has corrupted its OS, and it will not boot. Each time it does it, the symptoms are first the phone is non responsive, and just shows the spinning hourglass cursor. The last time it did it while in the Mail app, which is the one I use almost exclusively. The phone appears to lock up, showing the wait cursor indefinitely. This time I waited a half hour, and it was clear that it wasn't coming back. So I pushed the power button, and it shut down the phone. But then when I tried to turn it back on, the screen never came up, and it just blinked the red LED "forever." (It was about 18-20 hours before I got around to trying to reload it.) The first time this happened was when the phone was running the OS version it shipped with, which I think was 4.3, but I don't recall. But now it has done it twice while running 4.5.0.81, which is the OS distribution T-Mobile makes available for the Curve.
The first two times it did it, I used the application loader to wipe the device and reload the OS. When in this state, BB desktop manager doesn't see the device since it can't boot. But if you click through to the application loader, you can get it to load. (Or you can run the application loader outside of BB desktop manager)
This time, the application loader started up, offered the choice of what to load, and then proceeded into the next phases. Erasing the device succeeds, as does the next phase where it loads the OS. But then it gets to where it is loading application modules, with a progress bar for each module and one for the overall progress. It got halfway through the overall progress, and failed with an "unspecified error", suggesting to try again. I tried it three times, and it failed the same way each time.
After calling T-Mobile, they bounced me over to RIM, and the first guy had me go through the app loader again with the same result. When he started pursuing USB connectivity issues, I asked to speak to someone else. (There are other devices on this system, both mass storage and input, and none of them ever show connectivity issues. )
The second tech had me rerun the application loader, but this time only select the core OS, leaving out all the apps. This succeeded, and then he had me rerun it, loading the rest of the applications. This also succeeded.
But the problem I still have is this. There is no explanation why the phone corrupts itself every couple of months, or why loading the OS and the applications in one step failed to work _repeatedly_. I believe the device has a bad memory address, and the two step OS load simply danced around it. And it is that which is causing the phone to corrupt its own OS to the point that it cannot boot.
The tech tried to pass of the corruption due to loading third party applications, and while I can accept that a rogue application can corrupt memory locations that it has the ability to write to, I don't know if the BB OS/device uses any form of protected memory, or if apps are essentially unrestrained. The only third party applications I load on this are the Google app, with Gmail, and Opera Mini.
To be honest, if the BB OS is that fragile that I can't even load these two applications on it, I'll be trading it for a different email capable phone.
Anyway, I'm looking to find if anyone else has a phone that repeatedly gets corrupted so it can't boot, and requires a complete reload. Also, is there anyway to test the memory on the phone? I'm going to call T-Mobile back and try to get them to swap my phone, because I can't afford to spend three hours on the phone with tech support every couple of months when my phone dies.
thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Our cases sound a bit different. I seldom use Desktop Manager, as I sync through BES. I do use it for backup though.
But over the time my phone corrupting itself has happened, I've upgraded from BB OS 4.3 to 4.5, which required an update to Desktop Manager, and following that I upgraded to a new computer. So I've changed computers, BB Desktop software, and BB OS software, and the problem has happened across all of those changes.
You should have been able to restore the OS even if it was corrupt. Desktop Manager won't recognize the device if it won't boot, but application loader will still find it. The first two times I did it, I used instructions basically like this: http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry?page=4
But since then I've found I can just access application loader via BB Desktop Manager and do the same thing. I did notice when my OS reload kept failing this last time, that using application loader directly showed more of the failure message. It still wasn't anything useful, but when I reran the reload via Desktop Manager, I recognized the error was the same, but noted that I didn't see all of the output of the standalone application loader.

My G5 iMac cannot boot up from its hard disk

My G5 iMac cannot boot up from its hard disk - I get the alternating Mac OS folder and the ? Folder which I understand means the system cannot be found.
On recommendation from a friend I tried replacing the battery - no difference.
However, I can boot up from the CD/DVD drive from the OSX installer disk, DiskWarrior, Drive Genius and Techtools Pro. But none of these utilities can see my hard disk to see if it needed repairing.
In fairness at one point DiskWarrior did see the drive and I was able to replace the directory safely. However, on subsequent reboots nothing can see the disk.
Suspecting the hard disk I bought a new one and a USB/SATA casing to mount the old drive in to see if I could get anything off of it. The good news so far is that the old drive (now mounted in the new USB casing) can be seen and read on my daughters iMac. So all my information is safe and also now backed up.
Having installed the new disk I found it also cannot be seen by any of the above utilities. I have since formatted it in the USB casing and put it back in the iMac but it still cannot be seen.
As a test I installed a new system on an old 40Gig Lacie Firewire drive attached to my iMac. This works and boots ok - sometimes.
I am now experiencing the necessity to force shutdown and restart from the startup button several times before the external disk is recognised. And most times it freezes after 30 minutes or so.
I might also add that after some force shutdowns/startup I get little or no chimes. And sometimes when trying to reset the PRAM get no second chime. On other occasions I do.
Now I am totally stuck and wondering if anyone can throw some light on why my iMac can boot up from a variety of CD/DVD utilities and sometimes an external Firewire disk but not from its own hard disk which, as I have already said, can be seen on my daughter's iMac but not by mine, so its not the disk.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all before I bite the bullet and take it in for a diagnosis and repair (depending on cost).
Thanks

Could be the logic board, in which case you would need to take it in. Since the drives are good, and the directory was repaired, the logic board is about all I can think of.

New Zones features in Solaris 10 Beta 5

Solaris 10 Beta 5 (otherwise known as Software Express 7/04) should be
available shortly via the download link
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/get.html
For more information on what's available in the release, please see the
already posted documentation
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-0547
There are some new Zones features in this release that folks might be
interested in
* Command line editing and history for zonecfg(1M)
With support from the the libtecla(3LIB) library, zonecfg(1M) now has
command line editing and history support which should help in creating
and/or modifying a zone's configuration.
* Configuring UFS, UDFS, HSFS and PCFS file systems through zonecfg(1M)
Starting with this release, users can specify ufs, udfs(7FS), hsfs(7FS)
and pcfs(7D) file systems as part of the zone's configuration. For
example, if /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 is a block device that you want to
dedicate to a zone under the name /mydata, it can be added as follows:
# zonecfg -z myzone
zonecfg:myzone> add fs
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set dir=/mydata
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set special=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set raw=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set type=ufs
zonecfg:myzone:fs> end
zonecfg:myzone> commit
zonecfg:myzone> ^D
This file system will automatically get mounted under the name /mydata
inside the zone when it is booted or made "ready".
* NFSv4 client support for Zones
Zones can now be NFSv4 clients although in this release the default is
to begin negotiating as NFSv3 clients. To configure a zone to
negotiate NFSv4, the NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX parameter in /etc/default/nfs
should be uncommented and set to "4".
* The new -z and -Z options to ps(1)
The new -z option can be used to select only processes in the given
list of zones. For example, the command "ps -z twilight,16,myzone"
will print those processes from the zones with the names "twilight",
"myzone" and the zoneid 16.
The -Z option automatically adds a ZONE field to the existing reports
as the first column.
The Zones team would appreciate hearing feedback from our customers on
these new features and any other Zones issues or questions that you
might have.

In the README file for the 07/04 release it says that there's a problem with some 64bit runtime libraries missing from the SUNWlibC package. I'm a bit unsure about where to download this package from. Do you have the link to the page it is refering too???
