Installation of Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc M4000

Hi
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on SUN SPARC M4000.
Here is the error I have:
+Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: /platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix+
+Enter default directory for modules [platform/sun4v/kernel /kernel /usr/kernel]:+
krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPU
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
Program terminated
It seems that version of Solaris I trying to install is not support by the Hardware, when I use another Solaris 10 DVD, it works...
But the problem is that I need to install this Solaris version because others softwares are depending on that.
If someone knows how to make this installation possible, it will be very helpfull.
Thanks in advance.

Remote Installation of Solaris 10 on Sparc machine..

Hello all..
I have a Sun V240 box that has Solaris 8 currently installed on it. I need to wipe out the whole box and do a Fresh install of Solaris 10.
Problem is, that box is in the server room, and is not connected to any monitor, nor do it have any graphic card.I have only SSH access to the box from my Windows Desktop to do regular Admin operations.
How do i install Solaris 10( i got Solaris 10 on a DVD disk) on that box, that has no monitor and no graphic card. ?
Also, i do have a Sun V100 Desktop machine at my desk, that i use sometimes to connect to this Solaris Server.
any help is appreciated.
thanks

You could use 'live upgrade' to upgrade the system while it's still running, but you'd need extra disk space for that.
Or you could attach via the serial console and communicate with it that way to run the install.

OEM GC 10g Installation using Solaris 10g (Not SPARC but Intell Based Serve

Hi !
Server: Dell Poweredge 2900 (Intell Chip).
OS: Solaris 10 x86-64
I could not find from OTN Oracle Download site the Full/Complete Software (OMS, OMR, OMA) as is available for SPARK, Windows, Linux, HP-UNIX Operating Systems. Where can I get it? I do not want An Agent on my Server and the rest of the software on some other computer. i want it all (Full/Complete) to be installed on my DELL Server. Is there a work around if the sofofware not available. What about OEM GC software for SPARK? Will it work on Solaris 10 X86-64 also?
Please reply.
Thanks.

Hm
all that depends on your original installation.
Usually, on Unixes, Oracle puts some "configuration" files under /var/opt/oracle
Assuming on your original server the Oracle install (=ORACLE_HOME) is under
/oracle/ora10g
then you need to copy everything !! into the same directory of your secondary server (and of course this can be a zone)
In a standard oracle environment the database instance related files are under
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs
here you find the spfile, the pfile, the passwd file which you need to start your instance
At least you should have the same user and group id for the owner and group on the secondary server (best would be the same
patches installed), and you should do a relink of the Oracle software ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all)
as the Oracle user owning the software.
Furthermore the /etc/system files on both server shall contain the same entries for the database, mainly settings about shared memory and
semaphores.

Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 Server as Oracle db server?

Hi,
we're considering to replace our Sun Fire V490 Servers with newer generation of Oracle SUN Servers.
It's mentioned that next-generation product for V490 Servers is Sun SPARC M4000.
Do you have any experience with M4000 as Oracle db servers?
Our systems are mostly OLTP based with batch processing overnight.
Database with about 150 concurrent users max.
What would be our best price/performance option?
Thanks!

Hi ajmaidak,
our SunFire v490 configurations are:
2x SunFire v490 , 4GB RAM , 2 (1x dual-port HBA) x 2Gb FC
2x SunFire v490 , 8GB RAM , 2 (1x dual-port HBA) x 2Gb FC
What do you think about consolidation of those four v490 servers on two Intel 7500 based X4470 servers?
Intel 7500 X4470 is strong enough to handle workload of two SunFire v490 servers?
Same question related to Sparc VII+ M4000 server - can this server handle workload of two SunFire v490's?
Thanks for answer.

Solaris 8.0 on SUN SPARC 5 machine.

Can i install Solaris 8.0 on SUN SPARC 5 machines ?
Why can't i find it in the hardware compatibility list ?

Hi Solaris 8 is supported for Sparc Station 5 machines and should install just fine. However Solaris 8 is not supported on 4c architecture systems like the Sparc Station 1's and 2's...etc.
You can find a list of supported systems at the following URL:
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/pdf/806-2221-10.pdf
Skip ahead to page 25 if you are looking just for supported machines.

CD Writer on Sun SPARC under Solaris?

Hello gentlemen,
Does it possible to install (external) CD-Writer as the (external) device (SCSI or USB) on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does anybody use it as a real CD-Writer on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does it work on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does it write on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
What /dev/* could I use for CD-Writer?
Some documentation about compatibility of CD-Writers and SPARC/Solaris?
Thanks in advance!

Need Agent Installer for Solaris (SPARC)

Hi All,
I have downloaded Grid Control Agent Installer for Solaris from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oem/htdocs/agentsoft.html.
When I tried to extract the zip file, I am getting the following error message.
"Can not open file. It does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again."
Even I tried using http://sac.us.oracle.com/download/index.html also but getting the same error.
Please send me the location if you have,
Thanks

Most commands are identical. Performance analysis, loading all are similar. Tape interaction, creation of tape devices is going to be pretty much the same.
The differences show up a lot at the hardware level. HBAs aren't usually the same, many drivers (and their quirks) are different between the architectures. If you're debugging connectivity to a tape library, those differences may be critical.
So you can't get as close as you may want, but I'll bet it would still be helpful.

im planning to install oracle 10gr2 on sun solaris sparc(64bit).
kindly provide the steps specific to configuring kernal parameters.
details:
On Solaris 10
sparc 64-bit
uname -r
5.10
provide the steps to configure the kernal parameters with respect to my configuration.

hi rajesh,
thanks for your quick reply. but in sun solaris 10 do we need to change the entries in /etc/system.
as per
Oracle® Database
Installation Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC
64-Bit)
B15690-02
November 2005
Note: In Solaris 10, you are not required to make changes to the
/etc/system file to implement the System V TPC. Solaris 10 uses
the resource control facility for its implementation.
do we need to chanage the values as specified or how to proceed.?
im confused in these with respect solaris 10.

11gR2 installation on Solaris failed with prereuisite 124861-15

The 11gR2 installation on Solaris 10 sparc failed with prereuisite 124861-15.
When I tried to install the patch 124861-20, it failed with the following(see below):
I have Sun Studio 12-2 installed on the system.
It was complaining that some packages (SPROmrcom, SPROlangx, SPROlang,SPROsunms ) are not installed.
Where can I get these packages? Should not it be included in the Sun Studio 12-2 installation?
Thanks.

Porting PCI board from Solaris Intel to Sparc

Our own PCI board which has been working on Solaris(8) Intel for years does not seem to be recognized by Solaris(8) for Sparc. At the prom level a show-devs shows the device ie: pci1234,5678 but booting with 'boot -rswv' does not. Two questions:
1. Is the process of scanning hardward and making entries in the /devices directory documented anywhere that I might access?
2. What might be different between Solaris-Intel and Solaris-Sparc when dealing with PCI devices?
The platform for our testing is an AXE-300 3 slot PCI Ultra Sparc.
Thanks in advance
[email protected]
(781)-482-1215

The 'prtconf -pv' command does show the presence of our board
pretty much matching what is displayed when running prtconf on
the Intel system with the exception that the Intel results under the
'compatible:' header shows a series of 32 bit hex values while the
Sparc output for 'compatible:' shows "'pci1234,5678' +
'pciclass,ff0000'".
Furthermore running:
truss -f -a add_drv -v -m '* 0666 root bin' -i '"pci1234,5678"' pixgen
seems to show the point of failure occurring in 'devfsadm -v -i pixgen'
as follows: (note I've cleaned up the output a bit for readability).
open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 5
ioctl(5, 0xDF81, 0xFFBEF8F8) Err#6 ENXIO
close(5)
devfsadm then returns an exit code=11 and reports that the driver
was 'successfully added ... but failed to attach'.
I added a number of trace statements to each entry point in the
driver using the cmn_err function and compiled for Intel and Sparc
and verified that the driver continued to work on Intel and indeed
showed each routine being entered but I never got even one line
of output on the Sparc. That presents a couple of questions.
1. I'm using an old compiler: Sun's CC workshop Compiler 4.2 30
Oct 1996 on both platforms. The Sparc platform is a sun4m (ss-10).
Is it possible that this old compiler is not generating proper code for
the sun4u platform? The compiler and linker switches are:
cc -xstrconst -DKERNEL -DDEBUG -DPIXGENDEBUG=255 -c driver.c
ld -r -m -o pixgen driver.o
pkgadd installs the driver as /usr/kernel/drv/pixgen
2. The driver installation using pkgadd places the following line in
/etc/devlink.tab: 'type=io;minor=pixgen0 pixgen'. Is this
possibly an issue?
Any help/insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks
