How to install solaris when having no physical access to the machine

Hi,
I administer a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server with Windows Server 2003. The machine is in a rack located in a datacenter which I do not have any physical access to.
As most of server's systems are working on the Java platform, I'm interested in migrating to Solaris 10, however, it is not clear for me how can I do that.
I have full access to several machines in the office where I work and they have varied OSes (windows, mac, solaris). It seems to me that those machines are in a different subnet than the server (subnet masks are not the same). Also their Ip addresses are given dinamically (DHCP) whist the server's address is fixed (static). Currently, I can use any of these machines to open a remote desktop session to the Dell server.
Can I install solaris on that server taking into account the facts mentioned above? If so, how? using a network-based installation?
As the driver for the RAID controller is not bundled with the installation media, would it be still possible to apply the driver before beginning the installation (option 5. Apply driver updates)?
Hope you can suggest me something or shed some light on this.
Thank you

if you have 2 servers next to each other at datacentre, get somebody there to drop a install dvd into server you want to install it
next wire serial cable from 1 server to the other soon to be solaris server
and that's as good as it gets

How to install Solaris 8 as the third OS?

Hi all
I'll appreciate anyone who could guide me how to install Solaris 8 in my PC which runs on an Intel Pentium III
Currently, I've installed Windows 2000 on the first partition, Red Hat 7.2 on the second partition. Only the first partition is primary, the second is logical partition. However, I don't use LILO as the boot manager. I use Window's boot manager instead.[I modified the boot.ini a little bit]
Now, I want to install Solaris 8 which can be installed on a Intel processor, on the third partition. However, I heard that it's very difficult to install Solaris so that I really need your advices from all of you. Thanks a million!
Best regards,

Hi,
I am also dealing with the same. For these three to sit, in your case, create a partition from fdisk of Linux which can be identified by solaris8. Then when you startoff installing solaris8, the OS should be in a position to capture that partion. If that won't happen, using Solaris8 fdisk is very dangerous. You can not preserve your old data. Try this way.

After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes". I cannot now access iTunes. How can I resolve

After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes". So, now after the upgrade, I cannot access iTunes. How do I resolve this??
Thanks

zepel has it, but perhaps some more detail will help.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

How to divide SAPS when having two instances on same host

Hello
I wander how to divide SAPS when having two instances on same host. By looking at st06?
Thank you in advance

Yes SAPS is nothing but the CPU power used by the SAP systems. SO if you have 2 SAP systems stacked on the same server, check the CPU utilization over a period of 7 - 10 days, average out & that should give you a fair bit of idea.

Go to Docs.Sun.Com and get the system's documentation. Also go get the OBP 3.x Command Reference manual while you are there. All you questions are answered in that documentation, except for those that are easily found with Google.

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine:
I’ve installed two databases.
When I shutdown one of the database and try to start it up using
Startup pfile=’…location..’;
I get ora-12514: TNS: listener does not currently know of service rquirest in connect descriptor
when I try it again after 3 seconds, I get a new error, ora-01041: internal error. Hostdef extension doesn’t exist
Shutdown and Startup gave no problems when I had one database. Why am I getting problems when I have two databases?
I’m using: show parameter pfile|spfile; to make sure I have the right parameter locations, so the error shouldn’t be from location.
I’ve never installed two databases on one machine, so maybe I’m making a first-timer’s error.
Anyone know how to get this working, i.e. starting and stopping DB without issues?
Using oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 64bit, all is working normal.
Thanks,
Ayman

Still not working though.
When I start the services of both databases using Services, I can connect and run queries from both of the database.
Edited by: aymanzone on Jun 15, 2011 11:47 AMFirstly ... the Oracle Service for the instance should be started for the DB you are trying to connect or start.
Next ... from the command prompt:
set oracle_sid=<Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'
Now, if you want to start or connect to another DB which is on the same server (again assuming the Service is STARTED) ...
From the same command prompt session or other ....
set oracle_sid=<Other_Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?

The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.

How to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

how to install and use a plug-in downloaded from the apple site?

Emelie,
which plug-in do you want to install?
some of the plug-ins come with an installer on the disk image, you click the installer and it will install it in its proper location.
For others you move the plug-in into to System Library or your User Library:
Your Hard disk > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
or
Your Home Folder > Library > Application Support >Aperture > Plug-Ins > Edit
If it is an "Edit" plug-in, it goes into the "Edit" subfolder, "Export" plug-ins into the "Export" subfolder.
You can tell by the extension, what kind of plug-in it is.
E.G. BorderFX.ApertureExport is an export plug-in, BorderFXEditPlugin.ApertureEdit an edit plug-in.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. In OS Lion the Libraries are hidden by default: To reveal your User Library activate the Finder and select from the main Finder menu:
    Finder > Go , then hold down the ⌥-option-key, untill the Library appears in the drop.down menu.
To show the System Library:

You don't need to install OWA on your iPhone. It needs to be enabled by your email provider - presumably your employer? They should also be able to provide you with detailed instructions on how to access your email remotely using your iPhone.

Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7

Error Code 0x80070035 shows when I try to Access Windows XP machine from Windows8/Windows7. in my PC i m installed windows8 and used primary and secondary IP. Primary is used for Access my Domain/Internet and secondary IP is used for access my VPN and
there is no internet on VPN. VPN is only used for my Head Office Appication. After i give secondary IP to my windos8/windos7 PC the Active network status changed to private network and not able to acces windows XP machines. Please Advice...

Hi,
This error means that the Network path was not found. Was Windows XP locating in the same network as the secondary IP on Windows 8/7?
Please try the solution below. Use the IP address of the target computer, not the computer name.
1) Find out what the target computer's IP address is. It is desirable to give the target computer a static private IP address, for example, 192.168.1.10, so it does not change. Use the local windows help when sitting in front of the target computer
to do this if you don't know how.
2) When sitting in front of the Windows 7 computer you want to access the target computer from, open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type \\ followed by the target computer's static address, for example,\\192.168.1.10 and hit enter.
If the target computer uses username/password sharing, after a few seconds you will be prompted for credentials. Enter the same username and password employed to log on to the target computer when you are sitting in front of it.
The target computer will be added to the Windows 7 computer's Network list, appearing as an IP address instead of a computer name. Then you can access its shares just as if it were listed by name instead of by number.

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.
