Installation help - Ultra 450

I just purchased a used Sun Ultra Enterprise 450 server to experiment with Solaris (I'm an old SCO Unix guy but new to Solaris). It's loaded with 20 9GB drives. I'd like to set up software RAID. Where is the best place to get good installation / configuration notes that will help with installing Solaris on this hardware?
Thanks..

To give you a short concise idea of where you are headed you will be installing the os on the '0' drive in the cage, get the OS in, network up and running and apply the cluster patches.
From there you may want to do the following:
setup mirroring of the root drive using the '1' drive and do what needs to be done, try it till you understand it.
Then you want to look at setting up the other drives in various configurations, do the man page on metastat and start reading about meta devices, thats the sun software raid stuff.
This command will take a disc t0 and duplicate the layout on disk t1, handy and quick. Try it with format first then decide.
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 | fmthard -s /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2
Do whichever discs you want in a meta device. For sure play with the hot spares too, then pull a drive and replace it. It's fun having that sized box to play with.
The commands I put in bold will all have man pages. Also the site docs.sun.com will have step-by-step procedures.
One recommendation though is get the whole thing running on one disck, mirror it, remove the disc and remirror. That way you can keep that fully functioning disc off to the side, keep it as a copy and if you have to wipe the box you can always stick it back in and remirror. Save you reinstalling. When you do the install don't take the defaults on the disc layour, leave at least 1 gig on the / or root partition, leaves you room for the patch clusters and expanding them. Also I would choose the OEM and everything option. Have the network card plugged into a switch too or you will end up having to plumb it later on.
Most of all have fun...also up front the install will take a while, I seem to remember those 450's came with a 2x or 4x cdrom so you can go out and eat lunch between cd changes...

Installer help application missing

Hi,
I just got a mini mac, and I re-install everything, updates new OS to 10.5.6 from apple and everything works fine.
However, when I tried to install the "Stuffit Expander 2009", I got the error message saying "Missing Critical Component. Installer help application missing."
Could somebody help me? I am new to MAC.....
I'd really appreciate the help.

I just got the same message. I downloaded an Expander 2009 .dmg from VersionTracker.com and it installed just fine - give that a shot.

How do I install CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" (disk 3 of 3)?

Hi,
How do I install the CS Production Premium "Content and Installation Help" disk (the 3rd of the 3 disk set although it's not labelled as disk "3")? There's an autorun.inf file but no setup.exe. The generic on-disk installation instructions are useless for this disk since they assume a setup.exe file exists.
The disk contains the following folders: Adobe CS6 Speech Analysis Models, Adobe Encore CS6 Functional Content, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Functional Content, and Fonts.
Thanks!

There is no installer for the files AudiosBro they are additional content which can be added to those applications. For specific inquiries about the contents please post in the applicable forum for that application. You can find a list of available forums at https://forums.adobe.com/welcome.

Updated 8i Installation Help Page

I have updated the 8i Installation Help Page. In particular, I have completed the section on "Configuring Net8".
http://homepages.tig.com.au/~jmsalvo/linux/oracle8i.html
I have also updated the section "Post Database Creation Procedures" the other day and discussed the bug with the startup and shutdown script provided in the Oracle8i Linux Installation Guide.
null

Chris,
Although I e-mailed you this already, I am reposting it for others:
The scripts are not meant to be run by the 'oracle' user by the 'root' user, as
these scripts are executed during startup and reboot. That's why you see in the
an 'su' command such as:
su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
to change from 'root' to 'oracle', and return to 'root'
You should not be prompted for a password during startup and shutdown, as it
connects as 'internal'. If the user 'root' is prompted for a password, add the
linux group 'dba' as a secondary group of linux account 'root'.
In RedHat 6.0, I get on my screen:
Starting up listener8i [OK]
Starting up oracle8i [OK]
Starting up names8i [OK]
Also true for shutdown. Your /var/log/messages will show you the output from
svrmgrl, it it indeed startup and shutdown.
Also, make sure what are the run levels in RedHat 6.1 for HALT, SHUTDOWN, and
the default runlevel. These are indicated in /etc/inittab. As I am using RedHat
6.0, these runlevels may be different with RedHat 6.1 and other distros for that
matter.
In RedHat 6.0, HALT is 0, SHUTDOWN is 6, and default is 3. If they are different
in 6.1, then you need to make the link in the proper directory under /etc/rc.d.

the installer doesnt seem to move forward from here
please help me fixing the problem
thanks and regards

No help is possible given two facts:
1. I've never seen it happen.
2. I've never tried to install on an unsupported operating system.
Blow away Fedora and download Oracle Enterprise Linux (http://otn.oracle.com)
Then cut and paste your way through the configuration using the samples under "Linux" in Morgan's Library at www.morganslibrary.org/library.html.
It is no small number of times, each week, that people with Fedora and other unsupported distros have problems and ask for help.
I can not recall a single person using OEL or RedHat that has posted a request for help here. Perhaps there is a reason. <g>

Please help me out.
Thanks,

1. Please check whether you Name Server is alive. You can check that
using ping command.
2. If you prefer to use DNS/NIS/NIS+, you must modify nsswitch.conf
file to reflect that. Please check out nsswitch.nisplus file in /etc
directory. In that file, /etc/nsswitch.conf it should say for
hosts line 'dns files', if dns is the first one to resolve the host
names.
Hope this helps.

Maximum HD installation in G4 450 Dual (Gigabit)

Is it possible to install more than 1 extra internal HD in the G4 450 Dual (Gigabit ethernet) model? I already have a 40 GB internal ATA drive installed, in addition to the main HD that came with the computer. I would like to install another 300 GB internal drive, for a total of 3 drives. Is this possible?
I know I would have to upgrade my OS to 10.2 and up to take advantage of the full capacity of the 300 GB drive. But I'm not even sure there is another place to install this drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Brett

You need a 3rd party PCI ATA-133 or SATA card to run any additional (or larger than 120GB, I believe) HDD's. You can install 4 drives in total; two stacked in the back, and one each in the middle & front slots. With the PCI card, each additional HDD can be Master on it's own bus (faster), since the cards all have two ports.
Sonnet is one manufacturer, ACARD another
xlr8yourmac.com is one source of info on a variety of controllers.
The original owners manual diagrams how to install extra drives, or you can look at Apple's customer installable parts links (you can see the two additional trays in the pics, they don't show them being used)(or a number of 3rd party online guides, just google it).

Creative Audigy Platinum Installation Help with Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT Enab

:mansad:
Dear Fellows,I have recently upgraded to a new Pentium 4 machine. The config is as follows:Pentium 4 3.2eGHz MB cache HT (Hyper-Threading Enabled)Intel Original 865GBF MainboardGB Kingston DDR 400MHz RAM20GB SATA WD HDDSound Blaster Audigy PlatinumATI RADEON 8500 DV 64MBThe problem I am facing is with Audigy Platinum. Once I install the operating system (Win XP) and move to the installation of Creative Audigy Platinum Sound card. All the applications are installed and the system hangs while updating *drivers*. I restarted but it corrupts the whole operating system conflicting with Display Driver, Mainboard driver as well as Windows. CD/DVD Rom also disappear. I then reinstalled operating system again. I would like to request for help and solving this issue and I dont want to get rid of Creative Audigy. I have heard complaints with Hyper-threading technology but I disabled it and the same problem occured. I tried everything e.g. latest drivers from Creative website, BIOS updates, Driver updates etc etc. The problem starts once the drivers are to be updated for Creative Audigy Platinum.Anticipating your response soon.Regards,

Hi Jeremy,
I would like to thank you for your kind assistance with my problem.
Heres the good news, I finally managed to install and run my Creative Audigy Platinum perfectly.
Credit goes to your assitance and support.
For your info, I would like you to know what I really did.
I have an Intel Genuine 865GBF mainboard. I installed clean copy of Windows XP (SP) and downloaded and installed latest Chipset INF utility from Intel website. I guess this utility tells the mainboard what kind of hardware is configured on the board.
Please note that I did not add any PCI card except the AGP graphics card.
After finishing Windows XP, I installed the Creative Audigy Card in a different PCI slot. When windows started, it detected the sound card installed.
I simply ran the driver and programs from the Creative CD and it installed perfectly. I then updated the drivers downloaded from the Sound Blaster site in correct order.
After finishing with Creative Audigy Platinum installation. I installed other hardware devices, service packs, AV and applications.
Its the third day and everything is running well.
I just wrote the steps if someone else faces the same problem, he/she can sort it out the same way.
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards,

Oracle 11g SOA-BPM PS3 Installation Help

I'm not a super techie, so installing the latest release from Oracle was a challenge, but I encountered a number of problems and kept notes of what I did to solve it. Many of these hints came from the Forum, but nothing had all of the relevant info under one thread. So here is what I pieced together. If this is helpful to anybody, I'd love to hear it - either on this thread or at my e-mail address of [email protected]. My thanks to Linus Chow of Oracle for some help and allowing me to think I could do this!
Comments/Suggestions on Oracle 11g SOA-BPMN PS3 Installation_
Suggest downloading all files into a common directory. I stuck this folder at the root (C:) drive. At collectively just over 5 GBs, the downloading will take several hours (for me it was a full day, as did the installation). You will need an OTN account to be able to download the software. A good overview of PS3 is at the following link: http://blogs.oracle.com/bpm/2011/01/bpm_suite_11gr1_ps3_released.html.
General comment/suggestion. Be sure to name the aforementioned folder without any spaces (big problems if this is done because of how unzipped files do/don’t work with a path name with spaces in it). As the installs get started, note that an Oracle directory (under the root) with a default name for the middleware directory, named Middleware, is created as the default.
The link with the installation is actually helpful, but it is incomplete (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bpm/downloads/index.html). Some of the detail needed is in the quick installation guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/install.1111/e14318/toc.htm, and I suggest downloading the PDF version), but the order conflicts with the previous information. I resolved this by using the latter for detail, but the former for the sequence. I also had to turn to several blogs/forums (the main one being: http://blogs.oracle.com/SOA/2009/08/installing_oracle_soa_suite_11.html) to get help on troubleshooting problems with the installation (see below for others).
I have a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit version, but I ended up following the path for the 32-bit install path (see the main link cited above), mostly because it was unclear to me what the 64-bit path would be. I also already had the 32-bit version of the JRE installed. The following links cover identifying the differences and what you may have installed as well as alternative versions to download: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/index_general.xml?user_os=Windows%207; http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml; and http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
Another general comment/suggestion. I found it useful to reboot after each step. It shut down services that I would otherwise have to search for and shut down manually. Some of the installations require services activated by previous steps to be turned off, so you’re better off doing something like this rather than encountering such an error in a subsequent step.
Step 1: Installing the XE database. The file is an .exe file, and will execute upon a double click. However, the instruction regarding RCU is best saved until the 3rd step, doing it just before you install the RCU. More importantly, there are some things to keep in mind about the database install. First, after installation, you should sign on to the DB, using the Go To DB Home Page option under the Express Edition (XE) folder or set of menu options (created as part of the installation), under the SYSTEM user account. During installation, you’ll have to have given a password for this account, so make sure it is one you can remember. After signing on as SYSTEM, give the SYS user account another (or same) password that you can remember. You will use the SYS account in subsequent steps. Second, there is a parameter for the database that must be changed from the default. This is covered in the links below: http://blogs.oracle.com/tridib_samanta/2010/03/rcu-6107db_init_param_prerequisite_failure_for_processes.html and http://cn.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1004605. To solve this, select SQL button on the DB home page, then SQL Commands button on the next page, paste/enter into the pane at the top the following command, “ALTER SYSTEM SET processes=300 SCOPE=SPFILE;” (but without the quotes), and then click on the Run button. (The parameter must be greater than or equal to 200, but I found references to setting in equal to 300 or 500.) Then you can log out and close the web page.
At times, the DB might not be started when you are expecting it to be running (e.g., after a reboot), which is covered in this link: Oracle 10g database homepage not working? (You’ll know that it is isn’t running if you try to open the Go To DB Home Page option and it won’t open, displaying an error page instead.) I found that the simplest way to fix this was to go to the Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, and then look to see if the OracleServiceXE service is started. If not, then restart by right-clicking on that service listing and choosing the appropriate option to execute.
Step 2: Installing WebLogic Server. Either before or during this process, you will need to set up an Oracle Support Account. However, you need a customer ID to be able to create a profile. I was thus not able to complete a profile, so the WLS installation defaulted to the Anonymous registration option. This still needed an e-mail address though, the same one with which you would create the Oracle Support profile, so you should have one at the ready. (It would not accept the e-mail address for my OTN account.) As far as I can tell, the consequence of this path is that I cannot automatically get patches and such. I figure this is a problem to be solved another day. The Oracle Support links are: https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/faq_en.html#SignIn and https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html.
If you go with the default, the middleware directory is just Middleware under the Oracle directory. If you select a different name or location, you will need to remember where it is and what the name is. You should also note the folder name for where the JDK was stuck, which for me was JDK160_21 under the Middleware directory.
Step 3: Installing RCU. The trickiest of the steps. Unlike with the previous two steps, this installation first happens after the downloaded file is unzipped. You MUST unzip into a directory for which the full path name (and not just the one you create upon extraction) is without any spaces. (You can use the underscore symbol instead of a space to indicate separation.) Unzip the folder/files, and then open the Command Prompt window. Using the cd command, work your way to the full path name to where you just unzipped these files. Next, continue to work your way down to subfolders created during the extraction process. You want to end up at the rcuHome\BIN\ subfolder. THEN do the RCU-related command cited in Step 1. Type in at the prompt the following command and hit enter: set RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS = TRUE. Then, type in rcu.bat at the prompt and hit enter, which will run the installation and configuration sequence. This is realized through a series of windows that open for you to input information and make selections. Use the document at the following link of specific guidance as to what the configuration screens should have entered on them: http://blogs.oracle.com/SOA/2009/08/installing_oracle_soa_suite_11.html. This includes things like the service name (XE) and the host name (localhost) to enter, assuming you are installing this on a laptop or PC for local use only. Some other helpful links for troubleshooting the RCU installation are located at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/doc.1111/e14259/rcu.htm#CIHGHDBG; http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/2010/08/rcu-and-what-it-means-for-you.html ; Re: RCU 11.1.1.4 install fails on Oracle XE and http://cn.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2162409&tstart=0&messageID=9336791.
The RCU sets up DB schemas and the like for the BPMN and SOA stuff. The screenshots in the previously mentioned document should be followed exactly. You can also refer to pp. 5-6 of the Quick Installation Guide. You should use the SYS user account (the default, I think), so have the password handy.
I also found it more comforting to shutdown the RCU installation/configuration via the cancel option than to keep going back a screen to fix something. This may not have been necessary, but it made me feel better. Be prepared for interim screens that pop up to show that the installation/configuration is happening, which will also tell you there are errors. One such screen says that XE isn’t supported for RCU, but you can ignore that (as the supporting guidelines indicate).
Step 4: Installing JDev. This is an executable, and you just install with all of the defaults. This process will start the WLS as part of the installation, so you must turn it off before going to the next step. Again, I just rebooted to do this.
Step 5: Installing SOA Extensions for JDev. Instructions on the page at the main link are clear and correct. The 2 screen shots must be reviewed and adhered to completely in checking off options. The first selection defines the areas where updates are to be sought out, while the second selection is from the available option(s) from those areas. In this case, you are only installing the SOA Composite Editor, though there are several other updates/extensions from which to select (but don’t, at least for now).
Step 6: Installing BPM Extensions for JDev. Same comment as for Step 5, except that the option you want to select is not as what is indicate (the BPM Composite Editor) but the BPM Process Studio! I would advise against doing these as part of the same update sequence. In fact, I closed out JDev completely (though I did not reboot) between Step 5 and Step 6.
Step 7 and 8: Installing SOA Suite. I suggest unzipping both of the downloaded zip files. Again, it is critical that the full path name into which files are extracted contains no spaces. Once unzipped, you should navigate to the Disk1 folder under the directory into which the first zip file was extracted, but you should do this with the Command Prompt window and the cd command. From this prompt, you should type in “setup.exe -jreLoc {location of JDK}” (without the quotes) and hit enter. The {location of JDK} is where the JDK was installed as part of the WLS installation. For me this was in folder JDK160_21 under the Middleware folder in the Oracle directory. Refer to pp. 12-15 of the Quick Installation Guide. This took me a couple of tries before I actually got the installation screen to show up correctly. Some of what this looks like is also in the following link: http://blogs.oracle.com/SOA/2009/08/installing_oracle_soa_suite_11.html.
What you may eventually figure out is that 5 installation disks are stretched across two zip files. Once the installation of disks 1 and 2 are done, a popup window will ask you to browse to the folder where each of the next 3 disks are, which is in the folder created by the extraction of files/folders from the second zip file for the SOA Suite. As with previous steps, I rebooted after all of this was done.
Step 9: Installing the Business Process Converter. Unzip the downloaded file, and open the Installation Instructions Word file. It will instruct you to point JDev’s update sequence to another zip file extracted during the unzipping of the downloaded zip file for the converter. JDev will install this without much fuss or muss, but this installation is to the Studio and not to BPA. (For installation to BPA, you need to have installed BPA, and followed the other guidance in the instructions.) To get to JDev’s update sequence, follow the same first step as in Step 5, but check the option to browse for and upload from a local file. This local file will be the previously mentioned other zip file.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Installation help?

I have the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for Mac. I installed InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and Dreamweaver with no problems about a year ago. I realized that I never installed Acrobat...
On the front cover it says "Install software from these discs first. Then install Acrobat 9 Pro from the Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Upgrade Installer disc provided separately."
I put in the "Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" CD and downloaded Acrobat. When I got to the serial # part, I used the same serial number as I did for the rest of the Creative Suite, but it says the # is not valid?!?!
I haven't tried calling Adobe yet...my friend tried calling the other day and he was put on hold for 2 hours >.< Any help would be appreciated!

Had you installed another version of Acrobat 9 previously? If so try using the serial # from it.
If not some one else has asked a similar question I have answered today. Try the answer I gave for that question.
(Please note information is given by an Experienced User of Acrobat. I am not an employee of Adobe.)
