Install solaris via hyper terminal

Hi,
I just got my new ultra 5 box and I was wondering what type of cable and hyper terminal settings I need in order to get this thing rolling.
The type of cable I used before was a null modem cable db9F --> db9F. Then I read I needed db9 --> db25. So I went out and look for db9 --> db25 only to find that there wasn't any male to male cables ... any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
IPv6

Dear friends,
I have the same problem...
I have a VGA adapter in my sparc 5, but my 14" monitor doesn't show nothing (only a new MAG 17" but it's not mine).
So, I switched to HyperTerminal.
I made more than 10 Null modem cables, with all the options, but I could not see nothing and I cannot install my mchine.
The explanation of the cable here, I didn't understand so good, albeit that, I make the cable but it didn't work.
Does anybody knows what to do, step by step, or where can I read it?
Thank you very much!
Ilan.

  • How to install Solaris 9 connected via Hyper Terminal

    Hi All ,
    We have planned to Install Solaris 9 in E250. We have connected the console throgh Hyper Terminal.
    We are not able to see the options clearly in the console. The options are not in clear way. It is very difficult to install.
    Please advice how to install Solaris 9 in Text mode and terminal type for installing the solaris 9 via Hyper Terminal.
    I am awaiting for your reply.
    Regards,
    R. Rajesh Kannan.

    When the install starts, select a terminal type of VT100
    The screens should display correctly then.

  • Installing Solaris via network

    A few days ago I have got an old Sun server (Netra 1125).
    I am fairly new to Sun hardware and I wonder if there is a way to install Solaris via serial cable and a TCP/IP network (I don't have a cdrom and I don't have vga or floppies).
    I have a Linux machine nearby. Can I use BOOTP or something like that?
    Can anybody point me to some documentation?

  • Install solaris via jumpstart with 2 network interfaces

    Hi guys,
    I'm trying to deploy Solaris 10 on a LDOM , using Jumpstart server. The LDOM must have 2 network interfaces and 2 default routes. Here's the relevant part of sysidcfg file:
    network_interface=vnet0 {primary

    Hello again,
    First of all, if I delete the second default route from sysidcfg, the installation performs uninterrupted, but vnet1 is not brought up after reboot. I get a message like: vnet1 is not a valid interface name...or something similar...
    Regarding multiple default routes now... As long as "man defaultrouter" and "man sysidcfg" state that multiple routes are supported, I would expect this to work...or at least I need a way of installing 2 NICs without human intervention...
    I will try to use some post install script instead ( will create /etc/hostname.vnet1 and add second route to /etc/defaultrouter) and will let you know the results.

  • Problems installing Solaris 10 on Dell PowerEdge 800

    Hi,
    I am experiencing some trouble when I attempt to install Solaris 10 on a Dell PowerEdge 800. It is equipped with two RAID disks controlled by a Dell CERC SATA 1.5/6ch (according to the BIOS).
    The installation program reports that it cannot write to the disk. This happens when it is about to start installing files. Tried setting it to a single volume and disable RAID. Same thing. Read another article saying something about disabling IDE, well it doesn't seem to help ...
    Any hints?

    I have the same problem on a dell 750 with the SERC controller. I can add some more information but if you get a solution I would appreciate the detail.
    1) If I install Solaris via the SERC in RAID 1 mode then the alarm on the SERC goes off as soon as I start to write to the disk.
    2) I bypassed the SERC and installed on a single disk straight off the motherboard. Time the install crashed at the same point but this time the error message told me that the first available cylinder was number 3! Ah
    3) I reconnected the disk via the SERC, rebuilt the RAID array and made a mistake. I created a RAID 0 (striped) array and installed the software starting from cylinder 3. I got a complete solaris install that rebooted fine and is fully working.
    BUT I NEED A MIRRORED SYSTEM SO
    4) I rebuild the machine again this time RAID 1 and again the crash occured at exactly the same point i.e. as soo as I start to write to the disk.
    Whether or not DELL / Adaptec support Solaris should not be an issue. This is a BIOS configurable RAID controller that can be fully serviced (e.g. disks replaced) from the BIOS. The system sees the array as a disk via the controller and indeed it is seeing it.
    The SERCs own data configuration data should be on sectors which are not visible to solaris VIA the SERC so we shouldnt be able to damage them but I suspect that this may not be the case.
    I suspect that the answer is in the partition layout and who or what creates them (I dont mean the Solaris slices but the FDISK partitions)
    To make matters worse, since I need the machine working I went back to disks straight of the motherboard and configured again and used metadevices to set up a fully mirrored systemas I have done many times before on sparc (but never on Solaris x86)
    This worked fine but I thought that I would test bootability in the event of disk failure. There isnt any!
    if disk 1 fails then the motherboard wont accept disk 2 unless you swap the cables and move it do disk 1 and by then the boot sectors are wrong for the address of the device. I can probably solve this by building both disks in slot one but who wants a mirrored server that you have to open up and move a cable when the disk fails. I think I may have to ditch SATA and go back to SCSI !

  • Installing Solaris 10 on Sunfire V120 via network boot from Linux

  • Installing Solaris 10 on VIA EPIA PE10000G mobo + VIA C3 Nehemiah processor

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I recently purchased a VIA EPIA PE10000G motherboard with a VIA C3 Nehemiah 1.0GHz EBGA processor (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id=451).
    I am trying to install Solaris 10 08/07 and running into problems with the processor being recognized. In my research, I've found some posts, but alas, I seem to have come to a dead end. Here's what I've done:
    Downloaded Solaris, fired up the installation. When the kernel starts booting I get:
    "486 processor detected this processor not supported by solaris"
    After searching on this error, I conculded that by doing the following, I should be able to get around this problem:
    perl -pi -e 's#GenuineIntel#CentaurHauls#g' solaris_cd_1.iso
    in order to swap out the vendor string for the processor.
    Next, I booted with b -kv to see what would happen. While it seems that I got further along, I now get the following:
    "processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction"
    and I get dropped into the kernel debugger which I am not familiar with.
    I looked for an exact match for this error in Google and came up with this page as the only hit:
    http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/i86pc/vm/hat_i86.c?v=OPENSOLARIS
    Even though it says OPENSOLARIS in the URL, I bet it's the same piece of code that I'm hitting when I try to install Solaris 10:
    if ((x86_feature & X86_CX8) == 0)
    panic("Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction");
    So my guess is that either x86_feature or X86_CX8 is false, I'm figuring it's the latter since the error message has looks similar to that variable.
    Furthermore, I see that the error message exists in several places on the original installation CD:
    strings solaris_cd_1.iso |grep cmpxchg8b
    Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
    Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
    Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
    Processor does not support cmpxchg8b instruction
    cmpxchg8b
    cmpxchg8b
    cmpxchg8b
    cmpxchg8b
    I'd really like to get Solaris 10 on this motherboard because I'd like to use it as a small firewall where space is at a premium.
    Might anyone have some further suggestions as to what I can do to get this to work? From what I've seen, I think it is possible, it's just a matter of changing something more to the disk image.
    thanks,
    Geoprge

    I did some more research and found a pdf on my processor and here's what I came up with:
    0 = The CPUID instruction does not report the presence of the CMPXCHG8B instruction
    (CX8 = 0). The instruction actually exists and operates correctly, however.
    1 = The CPUID instruction reports that the CMPXCHG8B instruction is supported
    (CX8 = 1).
    From what I read here http://www.via.com.tw/download/mainboards/6/13/VIA_C3_EBGA%20datasheet110.pdf it would seem that the default is CX8=0 and I'm guessing that if it were 1, then I'd at least get past this error message.
    Maybe there's a way to trick the installation image by changing the code that checks for this value similar to what I did for the vendor processor ID string? Seems to me that if I find where it checks for the CX8 value and reverse the logic, the installation would continue...

  • Installing Solaris 10 via external CD drive on Dell Latitude D800 Laptop

    Hello all, I am trying to install Solaris 10 via external CD drive on Dell Latitude D800 Laptop. After the GRUB menu it begins to load, displaying the " . . . . . ." and hangs about 1/4 way accross the screen. When attempting the install from a DVD instead of a CD the installation hangs on the same screen even sooner. Has anyone encoutered this problem?

    Hello Alex,
    no, you can't use USB devices on SPARC as boot device.
    The OBP (even updated ones) contains only support for the USB keyboard, but none for USB mass storage (which requires a device driver). The integrated USB ports are for slow devices like keyboard and mouse.
    Using an external SCSI DVD-ROM works. Another choice is an installation via network.

  • Installing Plugins via Terminal (Mac)

    I would like to be able to install plugins in Extension Manager via terminal and enable the installed plugins for a specific set of extensions (InCopy).  I have downloaded the Adobe Extension Manager Help and Tutorials document and it explains the process of installing plugins via terminal.  But when I run the install command, it actually launches Extension Manager in the console.
    I want to be able to install extensions and plugins silently and even when the user is not logged in.  Is this possible and can someone point me to a document which explains the process?

    For your coworker's issue, besides database file and plugin files, you also have to include files in EM Store folder and Mxi Flag folder.
    If your extension is per-machine extension (all files in extension will be installed to per-machine location), you have to include "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExMan.db", "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*"
    If your extension is per-user extension (all files in extension will be installed to folder under user home), you have to include "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Configuration/DB/ExManUser.db", "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/EM Store/InCopy CS6/*.*" and "/Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CS6/Mxi Flag/InCopy CS6/*.*".
    You also have to ensure all the machines have the same user name.

  • Linux guy wants to install solaris 10 via nfs using centos as nfs server

    well in linux when installing this way I simply copy the dvd install image to an nfs share (or do mount -o loop "isoimage" /nfsmountdir), copy the boot.iso so a cdrom and do a "linux askmethod" during install and then specify the nfs server and dir.
    I want to learn sun and want to start by really understanding the install and how to set up slices etc. I would really like to do this using nfs using my centos box as the server as this method at least when installing linux is much mush faster.
    so can I do this and if so what are the commands. I did see some documentation but it was for installing from a sun nfs server. but I need to install from the centos as the server. I already have the iso's for the 5 cdroms as well as the dvd image. if possible I would obviously like to use the dvd image.
    thanks and remember I am a sun newbie (just bought my first solaris book this week so the more dummied down answer would be the best one for me). if it can be done could you give me the exact process.
    thanks a million (and one).

    The Sun network installer scripts only work on Solaris. So there's no instructions from Sun for configuring the daemons on Linux necessary to do the configuration.
    There are some guides on the net, but I don't know of one that tells the whole story.
    You might consider installing Solaris in a VM on the linux box, then configuring jumpstart on that. You could then see how the daemons on it are configured and replicate that configuration on the Linux machine.

  • Installing Solaris 7 - timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet

    I'm attempting to install Solaris 7 on and E250. I'm using HyperTerminal connection via a null modem cable. I boot up the server and I see various harware init processes echoed to the terminal and then I receive this error: Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
    I have connected the nic card to a network connection.
    any help would be appreciated.
    Steve

    This is because you HAVE a network connection. You can resolve this with 1 of the following 2 methods:
    A:
    disconnect the network cable and reconnect when the installation process gets to the prompt for hostname.
    B:
    1. Get to the OK prompt
    2. setenv diag-device disk
    3. reset

    I am using jet to do the jumpstart and the config file for jet is list below.
    The install server is solaris 10 sparc
    SunOS nereid 5.10 Generic_125100-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1500
    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.

  • Installed Solaris, No OS-boot sector is recognized.

    Hello,
    I just installed Solaris 10 11/06 version on x86 Intel pentium. I followed through every steps, ejected the DVD and upon restart ,nothing happens, it mentions press a key to continue and restarts and comes back to the same point.
    My assumption is that the menu.lst is not updated or not sure. There is no operating system boot happening,How do you set the bootloader to pick the Solairs Operating System from disk partition C0D0S0, what are the main entries in the menu.lst, is this what i should be doing. I logged via the DVD boot and get a prompt, i tried bootadm and other utilities, any help.
    Basically the Solaris is installed but just need to configure the bootloader or bios to recognize Solaris OS is installed. My bios setting points to HDD.
    Any help would be great
    Thanks
    MJ

    A couple things you can I'd look at or do. First I'd make sure that your ribbon connected to your hdd is not loose. A bad ribbon, or intermitten one will cause your hdd not being recognized. If you're sure it good then try booting from the installation DVD and at the prompt type the following command:
    installgrub
    That should reinstall grub for you.
    You can also try booting in safe mode and run the following command:
    - bootadm update-archive -f -R /a.
    That should update your boot archive.
    More good grub info is located at:
    http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/grub_boot_faq.html#q19
    Also, if you want to try editing you're copy of /boot/grub/menu.1st. Here's a copy of what mine looks like:
    # default menu entry to boot
    default 0
    # menu timeout in second before default OS is booted
    # set to -1 to wait for user input
    timeout 10
