Install Solaris 8 on Sparc

I copied the installation files and burned the install
CD on my WME machine @ home. Now trying to install
Solaris 8 on UltraSparc 30 machine. Using command
boot cdrom install, I get an error back "Bad magic
number on in disk label, Can't open disk label" Any
ideas, please?Hello,
i've been making a copy of hard disk with dd and it's happen
the same, then i've done the next :
--> format
---> i've selected the disk
---> analyze
and the last i've make the new file system with
newfs /dev/rdsk/my_disk
good luck

Install Solaris 10 Sparc on Ultra 40

I am trying to install solaris 10 Sparc on an Sun Ultra 40 i386 pc. Is that able to be done. I have libraries that only work on sparc machines. Thanks for any help.

SPARC and i386 are different CPUs. They are not compatible.
You run SPARC installations on SPARC hardware, you run x86 installations on x86 hardware.

How I can emulate Solaris 10 sparc on a Virtual Machine?

Hi for all.
Guys, I need to emulate an environment Solaris 10 in my job. We have an application that just run in this kind of environment. But, I found some problems when I try to install Solaris 10 Sparc on Virtual Box. I think that the problem is the type of architecture that are differents.
So, someone knows a way to emulate Solaris 10 sparc architecture on a Virtual Machine. Doesn't matter the Virtual Machine application (Virtual Box, VMWare, etc..). Somebody Help me?

HI Srini_Chavali
I'm using the Solaris 10 u11.
In fact, Virtual Box supports Solaris u6 and higher. I have an installation of Virtual Box running Solaris x86. But, the problem occurs when I try to create a Virtual machine to work with Solaris 10 Sparc architecture.
The errors that appears on the screen are:
"No bootable medium found! System Halted" and "FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted"
This error occurs just with Architecture sparc.

I am using jet to do the jumpstart and the config file for jet is list below.
The install server is solaris 10 sparc

The version I am trying to install is 118855-33 (sol10-u3 - i believe). I have downloaded
the latest recommended patchset which should bring me to 118855-36 plus the latest
minor kernel patches.

How to Enable firewall on Solaris 10 SPARC Machine?

Hi All,
I have installed Solaris 10 SPARC & by default the firewall is disabled.
Now i need to enable firewall?
Can i know how to enable firewall Solaris 10 SPARC Machine?
Also can i know how to open up specific TCP & UDP ports?

What exactly are you looking for? By default Solaris is a secure operating system, but can be tuned to be more or less secure. The link above on IP Filtering is one way to make a system more secure, and is can be used to set up a firewall.

How can I install new versions of Fifefox on Solaris 9 Sparc?

I use Firefox 2.0.0.20 on Solaris 9 Sparc, but I couldn't install any verions of Firefox major version 3.
There is a great site, http://www.sunfreeware.com/mozilla.html, that looks it has a possibles version compatibles whit my OS, but the links don`t work.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Please also see [http://unixpackages.com/packages/mozilla this] (from http://www.sunfreeware.com/). It looks like 2.0.0.23 is the last supported version for Solaris 9.

Install newest JRE on Solaris 9 Sparc (64-bit)

Note: This message has also been posted on the JRE forum. This is the second attempt to post it here.
I would like to know the best method to replace the JRE that is installed with a Solaris 9 (SPARC) installation. A clean installation of Solaris 9 comes with JRE 1.4 and I would prefer 1.4.1 (64-bit) or newer. Sun provides self-extracting archive downloads of the latest JREs for Solaris, but I have been unsuccessful in using these. I followed the instructions at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-solaris.html
for doing a self-extracting installation, but this does not replace the contents of /usr/j2se with the new JRE. Additionally a pkginfo still points to the old JRE. I also read the instructions at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-solaris-64.html
which stated I should install the 32-bit version, and then the 64-bit version. Finally, both set of instructions mention installation from packages, yet I am unable to find the packages to download. What is the best method to remove the JRE from a Solaris installation and install a newer version of the JRE so the pkginfo is updated and the new JRE resides in /usr/j2se? Any assistance is appreciated.

I found by issue "mount -v" that our disk slices are
UFS type. So we don't need apply patch 5257399,

I think that the error would be caused by the JDK version with which try to initializing.
Anyone have any idea about the possible error? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I encourage you to try to use the generic installer at: %SOA_INSTALLER_DIR%/Disk1/runInstaller. Because if you are using the runInstaller at %SOA_INSTALLER_DIR%/Disk1/install/solaris it will lead to that problem in some cases.

Needed help in Installing Solaris 10 on sparc box from windows remotely

Hi All,
I have few Sun Ultra Sparc boxes. I m accessing them only through putty session(serail port) from my windows system.
Now there is a need for me to install Solaris 10 in the sparc box. But the sparc box doesn't have any DVD drive. I have an external DVD drive.
Can somebody help me out to install Solaris on the sparc box with the components I have.
1) Windows system with putty
2) External DVD drive
3) Sun sparc box.
Thanks for your help,
T.R.Santhosh

If you run into a problem that causes the machine not to boot, you can't interact with it via putty. You'd need a physical connection, usually either the keyboard and screen or a serial connection. I would always plan to be able to do so during an upgrade.
If you have sufficient disk space, the easiest thing to do would be to copy over the DVD iso, then mount it up with lofi, and do a live upgrade.
Windows doesn't read rockridge format disks. I would worry that having the windows machine read the ISO filesystem and send the files over would cause name issues. That's why getting the full ISO and mounting it locally on the Sparc is best. Fortunately, it doesn't require a physical drive.

Solaris 8 SPARC Install- No mouse

Greetings all,
I recently acquired and heavily upgraded a Sparc 5 (170MHz Fujitsu TurboSparc) that I intend to run headlessly in a server closet, primarily on an experimental basis (the rest of our network is BSD/Linux/NT) to gain familiarity with true AT&T-spec UNIX on SPARC hardware with our limited budget (we are high-school students, after all). Although I have run Solaris 8 on x86 hardware (horrid, slow, unstable), the installation on SPARC has been fraught with annoyances such as bad magic number disklabel errors (remedied by creating a junk label under OpenBSD) and now, the lack of an accessible MouseKeys feature (I am installing on the console with a beat-up $2 Sun keyboard). I looked at some sun mice at a computer warehouse but they were trashed and I don't want useless junk in my closet (already have enough of it- pa-risc workstations and linksys POS routers, anyone?). Anyway, what I want to do is just get a quick-and-dirty install done with no mouse so that I can run w\the machine headlessly and export the window manager to a Linux workstation or NT pc with Exceed, and occasionally use a serial console on tty a to do low-level administrative tasks.
Thanks guys and girls, and sorry about the overlong post.
-Anna

Hi,
I am now trying to install Solaris to my other machine... and hoping it will work. This is a K6-2 PC with 192MB RAM and 2 x 8GB harddisks.
The first disk is occupied by Trustix and Slackware (Both are Linux), and I have the entire second dirve for Solaris. Then when I boot from DCA, my machine will keep rebooting itself. IF I boot from CD, it will say cannot find drive for installing Solaris. I have used LBA/CHS/Normal mode for my harddisk - none of them work. Any idea?
Please help.
Thanks.

Install Solaris 8 on SPARC system

Hi,
I'm new in Unix/Solaris. I tried to install solaris 8 on a sparc system, I downloaded (SOL-8-1_01-FCS-BIN-SPARC-V1 and V2) and i burned 2 CD as. On the sparc system is already SUNOS 5.6 installed. But each time I tried to boot the system it "hang" after the message:" starting rpc services: rcpbind keyserv nis_cachemgr done." What ever I type after this message has no effect at all. I'm allowed to format the disk (home user). The CD-rom player is attached to the Sparc but can not boot the CD. Is there anyone who can help me.
I downloaden olso the pdf files but they were no use for me at this moment.

Hello,
you will have to go to OK prompt and then boot with CDROM.
1.login as root and then type
#eeprom auto-boot?=false
2.reboot the system. the system will stop at the OK prompt.
3. then type:
OK boot cdrom install
you should see Solaris install program and follow its instruction.
And the error you see seems to be caused by bad network connection

Installing JDS 3 on Solaris 10 SPARC previously running CDE

Does anyone have experience of installing JDS3 on SPARC architectures? Most of the posts seem to relate to x86. I'm having trouble installing JDS3 from the Solaris 6/06 distribution.
I have a jumpstart config which starts with a SUNWCrnet and adds the minimum to provide a CDE with XDM log in. We thought we'd try JDS3 so I've expanded the profile to include all packages in the Sol10 6/06 distribution which are marked as belonging to the GNOME2 or JDS3 categories.
This gives the option for selecting JDS from the login session menu. The desktop comes up ok but then we get error messages:
'Failed to execute child process "xscreensaver" '
Attempting to start any application from any menu results in the following message:
'Cannot launch entry
Details: Text was empty (or contained only white space)'
I can't even open a terminal.
It looks like a major piece of configuration data is missing but I'm not sure where to start looking.
Any help for an old SPARC head gratefully received.

Xscreensaver needs to have both /usr/openwin/bin and /usr/X11/bin in the user's $PATH. Add the line:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X11/bin
in your .profile and that should do it for you.

How to install a single 2Gb FC adapter with Solaris 10 SPARC ?.

Hi All,
I have the Sun Box runing Solaris 10 SPARC, i tried to install PCI single 2Gb FC adapter on this Server in order to connect to Sun Storage FC. At Ok prompt, i tried to run show-devs and looked the path /pci@1e,600000/SUNW,qlc@2 and supposed that physical installation for this adapter is ok.
But i don't know whether Solaris 10 SPARC included the required drivers for this adapter already or not. Pls show me how to get correct drivers for this adapter and how to test to look if it's working properly under Solaris 10 SPARC ?.
Thanks
Scott

Yes, it's part#X6767A supported for entry SPARC Sun Fire server Line.
I tried to seach drivers via qlogic.com and it leads me to the sunsolve.com for the download but the download is required to login with a service plan from Sun. So sun wanted to charge for these patches/drivers.
Do you know which site/link is free for Sun drivers in gerneral ?.
Thanks
Scott

Installing RealTek ethernet card in solaris 7 sparc machine

I inserted RealTek ethernet card in my Solaris-7 Sparc machine. But to work it properly ,need to install driver for the card. I searched a lot but i did't get the driver to download . I have read from some sites that the driver for solaris 7 sparc is not avaliable.How can i solve this problem.?
Anybody please help me to solve the problem.

You can try a NIC driver from RealTek, directly.
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
... but for a SPARC system? That may be problematic.
Does OBP see the device? Use show-devs at the OK prompt.
If it isn't seen at OBP's elementary hardware level, the OS will never use it.
If it is recognized at OBP, then try the manufacturer's drivers.
Return to the forum and let the rest of us know what happens..

Help! Having Trouble Installing Solaris 10 on a SPARC machine

Hi All,
I recently found a new job, and one of the requirements is I learn Solaris 10. I have successfully loaded the most recent x86 version on a laptop, but.....
My workplace has a sun blade 2500 (several actually) and I am trying to load the newest Solaris 10 SPARC version that I just downloaded. I downloaded it on my PC (Windows vista, yech), unpacked the ISO using winzip, and burned the files to a DVD. When I put that newly burned DVD into the sunblade 2500, I press stop-a, then type "boot cdrom", and after the reboot, I get a message saying
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
{0} ok
So for some reason my burned DVD is giving me a "bad magic number" error - and its not just one machine, all the machines I tried to load it on said the same thing.
Fortunately, a co-worker that recently left the company had Solaris 10 burned to a set of CDs (5 plus the language CD) and that installed well (albeit version 08/07 of Solaris 10).
So I am at the point where I can probably figure out how to upgrade the machine, but it bothers me that I couldnt successfully download the ISO from sun, unpack the contents, burn said contents to a DVD (using Windows), then take that DVD and install SPARC Solaris 10 on a sun blade 2500. I know that at some point I wont have the crutch of those CDs. Does anyone know what I was doing wrong? Is there a certain way you have to burn the DVD, or use a certain package to unpack the ISO for the SPARC version?
Thanks,
Brent

Hi,
Make sure that write your DVD at 8X speed.
