Installation on an Ultra 5

Hello
I have a few questions. What's the biggest IDE disk I can install in my Ultra 5? The current 9GB should be sufficient for some time, but I may have to upgrade and would like to go for something bigger. Since todays disk usually are about 20GB and often much bigger...I suspect that there will be a problem?
It also happen to be so, that I'm Swedish, and I'm having problem with the locale settings in Solaris.
When I installed Solaris 8 and came to the language disk, it wouldn't accept it for some reason. So I rebooted and installed the swedish locale settings afterwards. Now when I choose Swedish, I get for example some times "couldn't set locale correctly". And nothing seems to work. I'm also wondering; if I DO get it to work, how will it work with my US keyboard? WIll I be able to get swedish characters? Being able to write in my native tounge is vital to my use of the system.
And when I installed The second Software disk, It installed something called liveupgrade. But when I'm looking for a binary with that name, I can't find anything! And what does it do?
A lot of questions! I hope someone can help me.
Thank you very much in advance.

the Solaris box must be running, BIND 8.9.3 or later

  • Installation problem on Ultra 10

    Hi,
    I bought a used Ultra 10 machine, but the person who sold me the machine told me that he has formatted the hard disk.
    I need to install Solaris 8 on this machine, I have the correct CD's (Solaris for Sparc) and when I get the OK prompt, I am saying "boot crdom".
    When I do this I get an error "wrong magic number", can you please let me know how to overcome this problem.
    The configuration of my machine is
    Ultra 10
    RAM: 512Mb
    HDD: 9.1 GB
    The next questoin that I have is, whether I can add another Hard drive that can be bought from Best Buy or any other similar store. If YES then, can I use any IDE drive that is available (Example: 30GB Western Digital)
    I dont know if Ultra 10's can have any size of hard disk, please give some info on this.
    Thanks in advance
    Vasanth

    When trying to install Solaris and you receive the error "Wrong magic number... " , you do not have a bad disk. Sun hard disks are formatted with a special number at the first part of the disk. If it does not match this number it will spit out a "Wrong magic number..." error. If you receive this error the CD will escape to a make shift shell. From this shell you can run the command format, which will allow you to format your hard drive and place the correct magic number at the beginning of the drive. Reboot the machine and you should be set. The Solaris installer will let your re-partition your drive just as you have done in your previous installations and you should be set.

    few doubts
    Is it possible to go ahead for IDM installation without having ultra search enabled in database?
    any other way around that i can have ultra search?
    after applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
    Thanks,

    my guess was correct. the issue was last point.
    After applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
    it was resolved by uninstalling DB, and again installing from basic version (10201) then went to companion CD, installed ultrasearch on same oracle_home. it got installed without any issue.
    then upgraded to 10204. then created DB, and enabled ultrasearch by DBCA.
    let me know in case of more details required.

  • Problem in installing Ultra Search

    Hi all,
    We are facing problem while installing Ultra Search for Oracle 9i in Sun Solaris server. The Ultra Search documentation says that the middle tier component includes the following :
    1. Ultra Search admininstration tool
    2. Ultra Search Java query API
    3. Ultra Search Java server page sample query qpplication
    But we are unable to see it either in the Oracle Universal Installer's list of installed components or in the database server's file system. The documentation says that for deploying the Ultra Search Administration Tool on a Third Party Middle Tier, the ear file :
    $ORACLE_HOME/ultrasearch/webapp/ultrasearch_admin.ear
    should be present. But we cannot find the directory "webapp" at that location.
    Does the ear file already get extracted during installation ?
    Are the three components listed above shown in the Oracle Universal Installer's list ?
    Where can we get the ear file for installation on a Third Party Application Server (iPlanet Server) ?
    Can anyone outline the Installation process for Ultra Search ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I assume you are installing Oracle 9iR2.
    It seems OUI did not install most of the Ultra Search files. Can you check in your
    oraInventory/Components directory for oracle.isearch.*?
    You should see
    oracle.isearch.client
    oracle.isearch.is_common
    oracle.isearch.server
    If not, these components have not been installed. Please check your installation procedure
    to make sure the following are checked:
    Oracle Ultra Search Middle-Tier
    Oracle Ultra Search Common Files
    Oracle Ultra Search Server
    follow up with me if you still have problems.

  • Can I install Solaris 8 against an NT4 DNS Server?

    Does anyone know whether this is possible using a plain vanilla NT4 PDC installation, including DNS Server service and a standard Solaris 8 installation on an Ultra 5 Sun box? Both will be running on a class C IP address, 192.168.0.x
    Is there anything special I need to set up on either box or should the Solaris box pick up the NT DNS service as if it was on another Unix box?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob.

    the Solaris box must be running, BIND 8.9.3 or later

  • Solaris 8 on Ultra 2 Enterprise installation problem...

    I've a Sun Ultra 2 Enterprise with dual 200 Mhz UltraSPARC I and I tried to install Solaris 8, I download the binaries from Sun site and I burnt the CDs. Insert them in the CDROM drive, I type "boot cdrom", the installation started and it started also the grafical interface, the mouse doesn't work (the cursor still in the center of the screen) and appear a Console windows that asks if Solaris should use the slice c0t0d0s1 for swap, but the keybord (I use a type 5C keyboard and mouse) don't write, so I can't type "yes", but STOP+A works and on OPB I can write.
    In the end, on the grafical interface of installation mouse doesn't work and I can't write (works only STOP, arrows, ecc...)
    Thanks, Paolo.

    Well, to install the box you could type
    boot cdrom - install w
    that will give you the textbased install GUI if you are booting from Solaris CD 1/2 . You might have to get a working mouse later, but this will at least install the OS for you.

  • [Solaris 10] Installation problem on nForce4 Ultra - SATA II - raid 0

    hi,
    Like I was read on HW web page, Solaris 10 should work fine with 'nForce4' (without 'Ultra'),
    but on mine mainboard (nForce4 Ultra) instalator was unable to found my array.
    I have ASUS A8N-E (nForce4 Ultra) with 2x 250GB Seagate on SATA II RAID 0.
    Is it posible to install this OS on 'nForce4 Ultra' or maybe I am doing sth wrong ?

    Hi, I have the similiar problems on Solaris 10 installation.
    I have a Compaq SR1710 AMD Sempron™ + 1GB RAM. I am trying make it a mini workstation.
    However, the installation was never able to throught.
    It always stop or freeze on the "dos" screen after I select "interactive" installation.
    The last error message I got was something "Skipped rtls01" something.
    I am trying to install Solaris 9 now, so far on disc 2.
    Very smooth. No problem..
    hope someone can give me advise on how to install version 10 on the machine.
    BTW, I checked teh HCL. It seems ok, given my machine is very basic.

  • Ultra Search Installation 10.2.0.1 on 10.2.0.2 RDBMS Server.

  • Solaris 8 02/02 installation on Ultra 5 failure.

    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.

  • Ultra 5 SAMP installation

    Hi,
    I've got a spare ultra 5 lying around and i need someone to walk me through a SAMP installation. Is the hardware too old for Solaris 10? I'm hesitant to put linux on it as i want to try and get into solaris.
    Thanks

    I just got this from sun... may be helpful, I have not tried yet.
    http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/amp/index.html?cid=250494
    If you are not going to use the beast for x-windows any configuration on the ultra 5 should work. I have been running mysql on old sparcs and it runs well and very reliably but comparing it to mysql on a brand new ultra20m2 or even my old blade1000 makes the poor little ultra 5s weep. If you just want to play then the ultra 5 should be fine.

  • Installation of Solaris on an old Sun Ultra 2

    I have acquired an old Sun Ultra 2 and would like to install Solaris on it. One slight problem I have is that there is no floppy or CD drives. The only drive I have attached to the device is a tape drive, and I don't have solaris tape media. Could anyone offer a suggestion as to how I can install Solaris on this machine. Thanks in Advance

    Do you have a disk drive inside Sun Ultra 2?.
    If yes, you can do a network installation from another system (like
    linux or another Solaris box). The Solaris media are available
    from Sun web site.

  • 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...

  • Installation of Solaris 10 in Ultra 5

    I am a new guy to Ultra 5. I would like to install Solaris to this machine. Anyone can show me the steps to do that? or any documents on the net I can refer to? Great thanks in advance.

    I assume you have a non-modified Ultra 5. Therefore it will only accept CDs not the DVD distribution of Solaris. If you have CDs that is great, if not download them from www.sun.com/solaris although these will need to be burnt at 2x or 4x or 8x, no faster, because else it causes booting problems.
    Put in the first CD and then press STOP and A at the same time on your Sun Type 6 keyboard, and then type
    boot cdromIf you are doing an install via a null modem cable, youll need to set a sequence rather than using STOP A.
    From then just follow the on screen instructions, hope this helps. You will most probably need to understand a bit about UNIX disk systems and the Solaris Disk System and naming conventions. Google this and you should find some decent documentation at docs.sun.com ;-)

  • Ultra Search Installation Problems

    Hi,
    I'm trying to configure ultra search for an existing database running oracle 9.2. i couldn't find the folder oc4j_portal and hence the config file under it. But there is a config file under j2ee/home, so i tried to use that and i fount that there is no file called default-web-site.xml file - i followed the rest of the instructions but the i could get the administration module running. is there any reason why i dont have those files and folder?

    Ok I dont think i have the portal installed - is that a requirement for the ultra serach?
