Installing NIC on SUN ultra 60

Hi ,
I have installed a NIC on a Sun ultra60 machine.The part number of the NIC is X1033A.
I do not have the drivers for the same.The machine is running SOlaris 2.6.Does the OS have the required drivers
for this NIC?
When I run the "ifconfig -a" command, I get the following o/p
lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.64.134.12 netmask ffffff80 broadcast 10.64.134.127
ether 8:0:20:b7:ea:56
As can be seen, the second NIC is not listed.
When I run the "dmesg |grep hme" the following o/p is shown:-
SUNW,hme0: CheerIO 2.0 (Rev Id = c1) Found
PCI-device: network@1,1, hme #0
SUNW,hme0 is /pci@1f,4000/network@1,1

Please help me to configure this NIC.If I have to download the drivers for this NIC,from where
are they available?Also, let me know the installation procedure.
Thanks,
Bala

Sincere Thanks to J.Keil.
man ifconfig
echo "10.0.0.2"> /etc/hostname.hme1
ifconfig hme1 plumb
ifconfig hme1 `cat /etc/hostname.hme1`
ifconfig hme1 up
should work. No need to install a driver, cause the
standard solaris hme driver already has detected the
device "hme1".

Problem installing RHEL4 on Sun Ultra 40M2 workstation

Hi all
I have Sun Ultra40M2 workstation with Solaris10 operating system. It contains 4 hard disks.
I want to install RHEL4 on one of the hard disk, however I am not able to complete the installation.
Installation proceeds up to configuration of the disk space and then it displays the message showing no hard disk found. I think this problem is due to SATA hard disk present in the system and in my opinion RHEL4 does not provide SATA support.
Is there any way to install RHEL4 on my system.
Please help
Thanks in advance

check bios. perhaps there is some "legacy mode" in sata/disk
settings.

Unable to install Solaris Sparc 10 on SUN Ultra 10

Downloaded ISO of SPARC 10 DVD from Oracle site, burnt it and tried to install on SUN Ultra 10 (300 MGz / 256 MB RAM / 80 GB IDE HDD)
Followed the process as specified below:
1. Stop+A to stop the current boot process.(Already SPARC 8 is installed)
2. AT OK prompt typed boot cdrom
3. After some time (3-5 min) prompting error
*"boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom@2,0:f File and args:*_
Panic - Kernel : kmem64 allocation failure+_
Program Terminated+_

Checked in few blogs and burnt another DVD with less writing speed, still same error.
Checked with Sparc 8 CD's, Sparc 5.8 installing without any errors.

... (300 MGz / 256 MB RAM / ) ...I suggest you forget about trying Solaris 10 on a system with such limited resources.
If I recall correctly, Solaris 10 needs a minimum of 768MB of RAM to install and 1GB or more of RAM to run, even if you had a cpu that was fast enough to run anything.
Perhaps consider it this way:
Would you even dream of trying to install MS Windows 7 on a Pentium-I at 300MHz?
Stay with your Solaris 8. It's from the same late 1990's era as that hardware and fits it just right.

Hard disk problem after installing Solaris 10 u5 on a Sun Ultra 24

Hi.
After receiving a new Sun Ultra 24, shipped with Solaris 10 u4, the first thing I did was installing Solaris 10 u5. X wouldn't start but that was not a big problem and installed it in text mode. Installation went fine but, when the system starts, a single beep is heard and after some seconds some warning message appear on the console, before the "Hostname: ..." message, informing that some read operation on my hard disk had timed out and were aborted. The system then starts up normally. The only other anomaly is that the diagnostic partition in unbootable.
I ran the hard disk tests from the tools and drivers CDs and all of the tests were passed. Solaris 10 u4 was working normally so I'm wondering if this may be a bug.
Thanks for your help,
Enrico.

Thanks anyway, I discovered what the problem was: a bug in Solaris 10 u5:

Go to Docs.Sun.Com and get the system's documentation. Also go get the OBP 3.x Command Reference manual while you are there. All you questions are answered in that documentation, except for those that are easily found with Google.

Installing Windows Server 2008 on Sun Ultra 24

I have a Sun Ultra 24 that I previously had Windows Server 2003 64 bit installed and working fine.
I am going through the process to install Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit, and it is failing at the last step of completing the install, saying that windows failed to install components.
Prior to installing, I loaded the drivers for Intel ICH9 SATA AHCI Controller from my Drivers and Tools 1.4 disk and formatted the drive that was previously used. I am not attempting to install RAID and there are no additional hardware components in my system.

when restaring the windows after that it give me the below message in the attached image from the KVM consol

Ethernet problems installing Solaris 10 on Ultra 5

I am trying to install on a Sun Sparc Ultra 5 which I have inherited. The machine booted up OK with Solaris 7 with the old user's set up, but I do not have his ids or passwords.
When I try to install Solaris 10, early in the boot it comes up with "attempting to configure interface hme0..."
the a wait for a while then "Skipped interface hme0"
The network is OK and so is the cable - I checked them by swapping the leads with my lap top which could access the network fine.
I then went through and selected the language (English), selected 'networked', 'dhcp' then 'IPv6' then it comes up with "just a moment" then a long wait before "Could not contact a dhcp server on network interface hme0"
The dhcp server on the University network was fine.
I would be very grateful for any ideas or suggestions.
Many thanks,
Chris.

Christian,
The integrated NIC may or may not be working.
I'm going to presume you have a Sun keyboard, a Sun mouse and a monitor connected.
I'm also going to presume, unless you tell us otherwise, that you have never worked with Sun systems, before this Ultra-5.
Boot the system.
Just as you see a signal successfully activate the monitor, hold the STOP key and press the letter "A".
This stop-a sequence will halt the boot process and leave you at OpenBoot. Your screen prompt will the the word OK
There are many tests that you can perform at OBP, without invoking any OS. For today's tasks, you can prepare the chassis for a network circuit test.
Do ...
 OK set-defaults <enter>
OK setenv auto-boot? false <enter> (note the question mark character)
OK reset-all <enter>
Those three items will clear the OBP of any confusing or customized settings, then it will prepare the chassis to always stop automatically at the OK prompt, then it will write your choices to the PROM and reboot the system.
You can reset the auto-boot? back to true when you are finished.
After the reboot it should automatically stop at OK.
If it does not do so, then you had a typo in your commands.
Type sifting watch to be presented with all the command syntax that includes the word "watch". Find the network test that checks for connectivity.
Do ...
OK watch-net <enter>
If the Ethernet port has link to a valid network, you will see dots scroll along. An occasional 'X' is a lost packet.
You can download the 211+ page PDF file for the OBP 3.x command reference from Sun's documentation site, Docs.Sun.Com.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1140.2?q=openboot+command+ reference
This is all described in that PDF.

Sun Ultra 3 Mobile Workstation aka Mezostation999 - lack of documentation.

Hello.
For a long time looking for documentation and drivers for this model.
I understand that without a service plan i will not get the drivers. But there is documentation available somewhere?
I'm really desperate - pre-installed Solaris 10 (03/05) works great. but I'd like to know more about this nice hardware and try to install a newer system(the problem is WLAN and VGA)
Does anyone have experience with Ultra3 and can help me?

Indeed, even the Internet archive does not contain much information on this topic.
I am surprised that there are no data on oracle.com about hardware who has not reached the end of the "Premier Support Ends."
http://www.oracle.com/us/support/lifetime-support/lifetime-support-hardware-337183.html
Unfortunately this is not the equipment produced by Tadpole. It's a completely different product produced by Naturetch. There were four models of the "Sun Ultra 3":
A60-UltraSPARC IIi (Tadpole SPARCLE)
CPU: 550 or 650 MHz UltraSPARC IIi
A60-UltraSPARC IIIi (Tadpole Viper)
CPU: 1.2 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi
A61-UltraSPARC IIi (NatureTech 888P)
CPU: 550 or 650 MHz UltraSPARC IIi
A61-UltraSPARC IIIi (NatureTech Mesostation 999)
CPU: 1.28 GHz UltraSPARC IIIi
As I mentioned in topic mine model is the latest. Unfortunately the company NatureTech no longer exists.
I spent a really long time search for drivers and documentation. I Even asked the people who had in the past had this laptop.
So... I have a month or two for purchase support. I feels that the only way to get the data I wanted(?)

Sun Ultra 5

Hi everybody,
I have buyed a Sun Ultra 5 used with Solaris 8 pre-installed.
When I turn-on power the system starts but I havent openboot prompt. I want install Solaris 10. How I can start openboot's prompt and run the command "boot cdrom"?

The STOP-N keyboard sequence is a great beginning for any used SPARC system.
It will reset all firmware settings to their factory default values.
There's no telling what the previous owners may have done
to enter custom settings in its OBP. (you can memorize "N" for normal if that helps)
You hold those keys until you see a signal finally get to your monitor.
It will be uncomfortable, but they need to be held that long.
Once that is done you can use a different keyboard sequence
to get to the OBP prompt.
STOP-A will end the boot-up process and get you to the OK prompt.
Here is a link to the OBP 3.x Command Reference Manual.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-1377-10
Your Ultra-5 has a version 3.x OBP prom in its design.

Sun Ultra 25 - Bad magic number in disk label

I have a Sun Ultra 25 SPARC that is booting fine to it's 80GB SATA drive. Solaris 10, OpenBoot 4.22.19.
Here's what I did:
I installed a 2TB Western Digital SATA drive into the HDD1 slot.
I formatted the disk in the HDD1 slot via the format command, labeled the disk, and divided it into partitions.
I then used newfs to build the ufs on all partitions.
I mirrored the disk in HDD0 to the disk in HDD1 using ufsdump for all partitions. The data is accessible and looks ok.
After this was done I did an installboot to /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0 (the / partition of the HDD1 slot).
I then did a fsck on every partition to verify that they are okay.
I then took the hard drive in HDD1 and put it in the HDD0 slot, now wanting to boot off that disk.
At the reboot:
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
If I do a probe-scsi:
MPT Version 1.05, Firmware Version 1.08.03.00
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk ATA WDC WD20EADS-00R0A01 3907029168 Bocks, 2000 GB SATA device PhyNum 0
As far as I can tell disk0 is the correct devalias which is:
/pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/scsi@1/disk@0,0
I just don't understand how the fsck is okay, but the boot give bad magic number in disk label?
The 80GB drive in HDD slot 0 works fine with the boot disk0 command, all I'm doing is swapping a larger disk with the same data for the smaller disk.

if it is like any other Sun product, it needs to go through the format command and get a volname.... it is just a label, but it needs to be done.

Hello,
I don't think it is a kernel problem but a h/ware problem.
CPU 1 reported an ecache (sram) data parity event,
the fault handling code in 5.9 can't do anything about the
error as it is in a page belonging to a user process so it reboots the box.
The no error found in ecache means that either the
fault handling code displaced the error from the cache or there
wasn't one and you had a transient transport error between the
cache and the cpu.
I would engage your h/ware support vendor to work out what h/ware component is broken as these things are quite complex, but the score of 95 would (to a h/ware novice like me) point to cpu 1 being the culprit - but check with an expert.

Yet Another CD-ROM problem Sun ultra 10

Hello There.
I just got a Sun ultra 10 and I am trying to install Solaris 10 on it using the original DVD that I got from sun.
However when i try running a boot cdrom at the ok prompt I see that it cannot read the label.
Im sure it is because it is a DVD and not a CD. Isn't it?
Can the sun ultra 10's CD reader read a DVD..i dont think so.
By the way is there a work around for this.
Is there a way to boot from the network. I am pretty new to the sparc platform and id love to have a simple How-to about booting from the network.
I have a 10 Mbps LAN connection at home with Dynamic IP addressing.
Hope to hear from you,
Aijaz.

hmmm..interesting.
I do not seem to have a spare DVD drive at the moment. Can i not connect an xternal DVD drive to that machine?
Additionally it says that the openboot version of the box is 3,19 and I wonder if it shud be at 3,3 inorder to have the proper install of the solaris 10.
Hope to hear from you soon,
regards
Aijaz.

Prom Security on Sun Ultra 10 Workstation

Just purchase a Sun Ultra 10 Workstation from my company. When I took the system home, it would boot with the follow sequence:
Boot Device: disk File and args:
SUNOS Release 5.7 Version Generic_106541_09 64-bit [UNIX(R) System V Release 4.0]
Copyright(c) 1983-1999, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
configuring network interface: hme0
Hostname: skywalker
The system is coming up. Please wait
checking ufs file systems
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7: is stable
NIS domaniname is nexen.com
starting routing daemon
starting rpc services: rpcbind keyserv jpbind done.
WARNING: Time out waiting for NIS to come up.
The system locks and thats all she wrote. I have tried using STOP-A commands with no luck. It looks like the Prom Security must be enabled because the documentation specifies that these commands will not work if prom security is enabled.
Attempted to install Solaris 8 and other that this initial CD lights indicating that a cd was loaded, I cannot get beyond this.
Is there any suggestions on what to do next to get the system up and running or just to get Solaris 8 to start load, anyone????

You already posted this question, approximately 10 days ago,
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5394403|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5394403]
and have responses to your inquiry.
Keep in mind that you'll get no output to any screen until you connect a Sun-branded keyboard-and-mouse kit. Do NOT force a PS/2 keyboard into the systemboard port else you'll damage it.
That screen must also be capable of displaying Sun's default resolution of 1152x900 at a vertical refresh of 60Hz. If the monitor cannot do that, it will commonly stay black.
Stay with your original forum thread. This "duplicate" will likely get deleted as being a double-post.

Sun Ultra 10 with SunStorEDGE A1000/D1000 unable to setup

I realise this covers old ground but I have not been able to trace a uitable resolvement and would be grateful for assistance.
I have a Sun Ultra 10 with 256MB RAM and 440GHz cpu.. It has a pci Adaptec 2944UW HVD SCSI interface card. The storage system is a tray of eight scsi 72GB disks housed in a D1000 case. NetBSD reported it as an A1000 SunStorEDGE at sd0 having 16 targets and 8 luns. However NetBSD did not have a readily available controller to setup the raid system so I installed an alternative. I presume the case is a reused old case housing an A1000 unit.
I tried to format the drives directly but they are not lists as devices such as ct1sd1 etc. and so this is not possible.
I have installed Sun Solaris 10 but could not communicate and reported inability to use rdriver and rdnexus and after reading a number of reports that driver hooks had been removed from the kernel in Solaris 10 I have installed Solaris 9.
On both occasions I installed a number of RAID Manager 6.1.1 control packs, namely SUNWosafw, osar, osau, osamn and vtsse direct from my CD here.
I commanded dr_hotadd.sh to take up the challenge but it failed to communicate.
I added a number of Rdac amendments to rparams in /etc/osa but this did not resolve the issue.
I have tried to call probe-scsi-all after doing a reset-all from the OBP but this fails to report anything. I presume this is because the unit is connected by the interface card rather than a direct scsi disk.
dmesg pipe grep scsi reports:
unknown scsi sd0 at uata0 target 2 lun 0
I would be very grateful fr guidance to resolve this connection so that I can create a suitable filestore.
Thanks

I presume the case is a reused old case housing an A1000 unit.If it's really an A1000, you won't have access to the drives. You'll only see exposed LUNS from the raid controller. Do you have a dial in the rear with a scsi address? That will be the address that the A1000 will respond on. In addition, the A1000 has only one pair of SCSI ports. The D1000 has two pair and doesn't have the scsi adress dial (because each of the disks in the chassis respond on their own addresses). Instead you have some DIP switches to change the addressing behavior.
I tried to format the drives directly but they are not lists as devices such as ct1sd1 etc. and so this is not possible.
I have installed Sun Solaris 10 but could not communicate and reported inability to use rdriver and rdnexus and after reading a number of reports that driver hooks had been removed from the kernel in Solaris 10 I have installed Solaris 9.That's fine. You can ignore them. Neither the A1000 nor D1000 require those drivers. You should still be able to use 'rm6' or the CLI tools to interact with an A1000.

I presume this is because the unit is connected by the interface card rather than a direct scsi disk.If the controller doesn't support the OBP environment, then yes, you won't see anything then.
dmesg pipe grep scsi reports:
unknown scsi sd0 at uata0 target 2 lun 0So that might be a single LUN from an A1000 controller. If the selector switch in the back is set to '2', then it's even more likely.
