Change active Partition in Solaris 10

I have installed Solaris10 and after Windows Xp, the boot loader disappear. The system Startup always by Windows Xp. I have installed Partion manager and I change Active partition to Solaris 10, Know the system Statup always by Solaris 10. Please tell me how I change active partition in Solaris (to set Windows XP active partition again ). Could I use fdisk ? and how?

1.Change the bios settings to boot from CD
2. Insert the Solaris Software CD 1
3. The procedures for installation starts , when it asks for the type of installation ie Interactive , jumpstart etc.
4. At this prompt type " b cdrom -s "
5. This will give you a root prompt
6. mount the disk root partition onto a temp mount point on cd
mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /a
7. cd /a
8 . Run the format command
9 . Choose fdisk
10 . Follow prompts to make the WinXP the active partition

  • W520 active partition changed from lenovo 100MB internal to C: with Windows. Can't boot windows.

    Hello!
    I moved active system partition in diskmgmt.msc from lenovo 100MB internal partition (actually I'm not sure with the default size of the partition it migth be 1000MB or so I just remember visually digits, but I quess the partition is 100MB) to my C: partition. In result I can not boot up my system. All I can do after turning on notebook is to enter the bios.
    I didn't remove lenovo partition I just clicked RMB on my C: partition in diskmgmt.msc and made it active. After reboot I can not load windows any longer. 
    How can I restore lenovo partition to be active?
    Got Windows 7 64 bit.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas
    Kindest Pawel
    P.S. I'am writing on Lenovo T400 which doesn't contain that lenovo internal partition, so I'm even more confused what is the purpose of it, maybe for security reasons or so...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The "active" partition is where Boot Manager lives. The BIOS goes to the "active" partition to start the boot process, i.e. to launch Boot Manager which may utilize a boot manager menu to select which OS you want to boot to, if you have more than one bootable OS installed in multiple partitions. The boot manager menu also resides in this "active" partition.
    If you install Windows7 from scratch on an empty drive, by default it will create a 100MB "system reserved" partition (i.e. the "active" partition, and which does NOT get a drive letter assigned to it when Windows comes up), along with a second large system partition for Windows itself (i.e. what you see as C).  The entire rest of the drive is allocated to C by default, if you don't make any changes at cold install time.
    So although it's possible to relocate Boot Manager and the boot manager menu into that large C partition (corresponding to changing that partition to be "active" and also de-activating the small "system reserved" partition which is no longer going to be used to begin the boot process), that is NOT the way the Windows installer builds things. And it's NOT the way Lenovo delivers the factory setup.
    The Lenovo "system_reserved" partition from Lenovo is actually about 1.4GB rather than the usual 100MB.  In it Lenovo places other utilities which get utilized during the system recovery process (which also uses the third partition Lenovo puts on the drive, i.e. the "recovery" partition).  This is what allows you to truly recreate the factory-provided original hard drive steup if you need to or want to.
    Anyway, it is possible to relocate the Boot Manager files into the C-partition if you had a true retail Windows 7 installation DVD.  You could run "system repair" (rather than "install") three times in succession, and this would accomplish the deed.  There are also utilities like EasyBCD which can relocate Boot Manager into the C-partition.  Both of these processes would then allow you to delete the original "system reserved" partition (either the small 100MB one from MS, or the 1.4GB one from Lenovo... realizing of course that you would then lose the ability to use the "recovery partition" to restore Lenovo factory setup).
    Also, if you install Windows 7 as a second bootable OS on a drive where WinXP was already installed, the Win7 installer would NOT create a "system reserved" (active) partition, as the existing WinXP partition is already marked as "active" and is where the current Boot Manager (from WinXP) lives.  The Win7 installer replaces this (in the WinXP system partition itself, which is left untouched as the "active" partition) with the Win7 Boot Manager and menu, and creates a separatte new partition with Win7 in it.  So now you have two bootable OS's, and no small "system reserved", and the WinXP partition contains Win7 Boot Manager and 2-OS boot menu, and is the "active" partition where the BIOS goes to start the boot process.
    But honestly, there is really no reason to do any of the above with your W520.  Just stick with what came from Lenovo.  Some partition on the boot drive MUST be marked "active", and that's where Boot Manager and its menu MUST reside.  Who cares whether that's in a small separate partition (which doesn't get a letter anyway), or in C?  There's really very little to gain from changing this, other than a very small amount of additional hard drive space becoming "usable".

  • How to change active ascontrol to non-active

    I have two 10.1.3.2 instances with each an active ascontrol. Now I want to add them to a cluster, where a discovery server with an active ascontrol is already present (we do not use multicast, but specify the discovery server for each opmn). This means that the ascontrol should be made inactive for the two instances.
    My question is: Is it enough to specify start="false" for ascontrol in server.xml, or do I have to make more changes?

    Hi,
    You need to check your condition type for which you want to make any changes in sales order.
    Steps:
    1. First go to change mode of condition type for which you want to make any kind of change in the sales order
    . ( V/06 )
    2. now check whether manual changes are allowed or not.
    3. next check mark field "quantity/value " in order to be able to make any changes in sales order.
       because unless this field is not check marked you can't do any change. i.e. it will be gray.
    I am sure it will solve your problem.
    Please Reward if useful.

    Hi there Luke. Thanks for the answer but it has bred a new problem as good as it was. I've shrunk the second volume (E) down to 20GB exactly, however there is now around 53gb of unallocated space. When I right click on the C partition the option for extending is greyed out and it wont let me allocate the 53gb to it.
    Any ideas on why this might be?
    Wish I knew more about computers! :(

  • How to deactivate an active partition?

    I accidentally made another active partition on another hard drive. How do I deactivate that partition under windows (XP and Vista)?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can use the following steps to de-active a active partition:
    1. Open Command Prompt.
    2.  Type: diskpart
    3.  At the DISKPART prompt, type:  list disk  (This command will list all the disks that you have)
    4.  In the next prompt, type: select disk # ( # means the number of the disk which contain the wrong active partition )
    5.  At the DISKPART prompt, type: list partition
    6.  Use the command: select partition # (# means the number of the partition that you want to mark as active)
    7.  Inactive the active partition with command: inactive
    Important Note: We strongly recommend that perform a full backup before this procedure. 
    By the way, there is a helpful article about disk management, for your reference:
    Mark a partition as active (32-bit only)
    http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/65982abe-19cc-446b-8027-a00bed65abd91033.mspx?mfr=true
    It’s about active a partition. However, the inactive process is almost same.
    I hope it helps.

  • Changing IP address in Solaris 10 different from Sol 9?

    I recently needed to change the IP address of 2 new Solaris 10 Sparc boxes. I made the normal changes
    /etc/hosts
    /etc/hostname.bge0
    /etc/resolv.conf
    /etc/netmasks
    /etc/nodename &
    /etc/defaultrouter
    (why can't we get these into one file?)
    But when rebooted, the server still remembered its old IP address and settings even though I couldn't grep that IP anywhere. I eventually had to do a sys-unconfig which I was hoping to avoid. Is there some other way to change an IP in solaris 10?

    Here's the step that I use whenever I'm stuck and it usually works. As I'm still learning now, these may be easy steps and you may have been already done these.
    "Static to DHCP IP Address"
    First unplumb
    # ifconfig e1000g0 unplumb
    Then Plumb (probably IP will become like 0.0.0.0)
    # ifconfig e1000g0 plumb
    Use dhcp
    # ifconfig e1000g0 dhcp primary
    Check on IP address
    Should have an IP address from your dhcp server by now.
    # ifconfig -a
    and
    # ifconfig e1000g0 dhcp status
    "Configure DNS client"
    Edit "nsswitch.conf" file
    go to /etc
    # more /etc/nsswitch.conf
    # vi /etc/nsswitch.conf
    and add "dns" on hosts
    hosts: files dns
    go to /etc and see if the file is already there or not
    # more /etc/resolv.conf
    If it's not created yet, then create one.
    # vi /etc/resolv.conf
    domain domain.com
    nameserver 0.0.0.1
    search domain.com
    Then ping should work with both ip address and domain name.
    For Manual IP
    First unplumb
    # ifconfig e1000g0 unplumb
    Then assign an IP and make sure that you are using the right IP address if you are in the network.
    #ifconfig e1000g0 plumb 192.168.100.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
    Check if it's updated
    #ifconfig -a
    If you still can't get the right ip address, then something is up. Oh, make sure that your Ethernet cable is connected or not defective. It happened to me once.
    Hope this would help someone.

  • How to capture mold change activity

    Dear experts
    Our client has plastics injection moulding process. In routing we are already assigned the mould as PRT.
    There are mold change will happen for all type of molds to different workcenter combination every day.Mold and workcenter of each combination has different cycle time for mold change activity.
    How to maintain activity timing (should not reflect into costing) for each combination.And also want to capture actual mold change time for calculating efficiency.
    If any body map and using the above scenorio, kindly help me.
    SS

    Dear,
    it is not clear from your question about mould and WC.
    As I understood.. You habe mould A, B, C, D
    You have work centre W, X, Y, Z
    You can use Mould A, B, C, D in WC W, X, Y, Z.
    if this is the case, then
    in WC X, you are using A and now mould is changed to B let us say...it will take some time;...
    and that time can be considered as setup time in SAP.
    I am wrong please explain so that we can help you

  • Cost to change hash partition key column in a history table

    Hi All,
    I have the following scenario.
    We have a history table in production which has 16 hash partitions on the basis of key_column.
    But the nature of data that we have in history table that has 878 distinct values of the key_column and about 1000 million data and all partitons are in same tablespace.
    Now we have a Pro*C module which purges data from this history table in the following way..
    > DELETE FROM hsitory_tab
    > WHERE p_date < (TO_DATE(sysdate+1, 'YYYYMMDD') - 210)
    > AND t_date < (TO_DATE(sysdate+1, 'YYYYMMDD') - 210)
    > AND ROWNUM <= 210;
    Now (p_date,t_data are one of the two columns in history table) data is deleted using thiese two date column conditions but key_column for partition is different.
    So as per aboove statement this history table containd 6 months data.
    DBA is asking to change this query and use partiton date wise.Now will it be proper to change the partition key_column (the existing hash partiton key_column >have 810 distinct values) and what things we need to cosider to calculate cost behind this hash partition key_column cahange(if it is appropriate to change >partition )key_column)Hope i explained my problem clearly and waiting for your suggestions .
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sir
    Many thanks for the reply.
    For first point -
    we are in plan to move the database to 10g after a lot of hastle between client.For second point -
    If we do partition by date or week we will have 30 or 7 partitions .As suggested by you as we have 16 partitions in the table best approach would be to have >partition by week then we will have 7 partitions and then each query will heat 7 partitions .For third point -
    Our main aim to reduce the timings of a job(a Pro*C program) which contains the following delete query to delete data from a history table .So accroding to the >query it is deleting data every day for 7 months and while deleting it it queries this hug etable by date.So in this case hash partition or range partiton or >hash/range partition which will be more suitable.
    DELETE FROM hsitory_tab
    WHERE p_date < (TO_DATE(sysdate+1, 'YYYYMMDD') - 210)
    AND t_date < (TO_DATE(sysdate+1, 'YYYYMMDD') - 210)
    AND ROWNUM <= 210;I have read in hash partition is used so that data will be evenly distributed in all partitions (though it depends on nature of data).In my case i want some suggestion from you to take the best approach .

  • Changing casuser password on solaris

    Dear *,
    I have intalled LMS 3.2 or solaris 10. The installation is successfull. Now i want to change the password of casuser but i am unable to find the resetCasuser. Seems like file is missing. Any idea why? NMSROOT\setup\support\resetCasuser
    Is there anyway i can get this file from somewhere and copy it in solaris? Since this is a solaris account what willl happen if i change the password from solaris itself?
    Thanks,
    Aamir

    Hi Aamir:
    There is no facility or program to change the password of casuser because one cannot log into the box as casuser;  that account has no shell.
    grep casuser /etc/passwd
    casuser:x:101:100:CiscoUser:/opt/CSCOpx:/dev/null
    Even if you change the Solaris user password, that account still can't be logged into.

    You need to read and follow the Boot Camp instructions. Boot Camp Assistant is already on your computer in the utilities forderf. You run Boot Camp Assistant. Part of the process is to to then download the Windows Support software. This download is then installed from within Windows.
    There is no Boot Camp download that needs to be installed or unzipped from within OSx which you seem to be doing.
