Installing OS into an LDOM without network?

I am in the process of evaluating LDOMs at my company. I have a loaner T2000 with two disks and would like to configure 4 LDOMs, so using a whole disk is not an option. The system has limited network connectivity and no SAN. By the documentation, Jumpstart is not an option to install the OS on new LDOMs. Nor can I boot a DVD directly.
So, I sliced my second disk into four equal partitions and gave one to each LDOM when I configured them. I thought I was ready to install... so here comes the challenging part:
I attempted to boot a Solaris 10 11/06 DVD image file through loopback as a virtual disk. The kernel panicked almost immediately when attempting to mount the root filesystem.
So, I used dd to extract slice 1 from the DVD and put that as a virtual disk via loopback. I booted the kernel with -a from the DVD image and specified the root filesystem as my new loopback device. This got me a running kernel and the system booted up until the point where a few services failed to start and left me in a loop where the system complained about being unable to execute sulogin, attempted to go to maintenance mode, unable to execute sulogin, etc.
I'm starting to think that I am going about this task in the completely wrong way... but almost all the documentation I have read has suggested using a whole disk and doing a network install, which is not an option for me.
So, going under the assumption that the only network connectivity I have is between the T2000 and some non-*nix laptop, how do I get an OS onto a LDOM?

Hi,
You can make use of virtual disk images. But you'll need to setup jumpstart to get your domains running. Check out my blog at http://unixconsole.blogspot.com for details.

Is there a guide for installing an OS into an LDOM without netbooting?

I have been looking for an install guide that specifically mentions how to install into an LDOM without jumpstarting. There are a few hints about mounting an ISO, but that has not worked for me. I am using a T2000, with Firmware 6.4.6 and LDOM 1.0 software.

Installing from an ISO/DVD is possible with OpenSolaris - snv_77 or later. The support will also be in S10U5.
See this thread for more details: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=49961&tstart=15

Unable to install OS into new LDOM

I've recently received two T3 servers, which are our first T3s. I've created multiple LDOMs on each one of them, but when I try to install Solaris 10u10 on to them, I get the following error.
Preparing system for Solaris install
Configuring disk (c0d0)
- Creating Solaris disk label (VTOC)
ERROR: Could not create Solaris disk label (VTOC)
ERROR: Could not label disks
ERROR: Could not update disks with new configuration
mkdir: "/a/var/sadm/launcher": Read-only file system
Could not update disks with new configuration
Fatal Error
Solaris installation program exited.
From the prompt, I can mount the drives, write to them, partition them, perform fmthard, etc.. all without issue.
This is the first instance of using Oracle VM for SPARC v2.2 as all of our other systems, T51x0 are all running LDOM 1.3. Since I'm having the issue across both servers, I'd assume either I'm doing something wrong, but I've not been able to determine where the issue is. Any help with this would be appreciated.
Below is our LDOM config.

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

Access without network

Just I install my new 3tb wd my cloud. I bought this item in order to have access to big bank of documents anytime anywhere through internet network. But at the same time I want to work with my saved documents when i have not accees to internet network. can i have access to my saved documents when i am home and i have not access to internet network? can i have access to my cloud directly without network? (eg with cable)

Yes. The MyCloud is a local network attached storage (NAS) device. The cloud access is an extra feature. You can connect to your MyCloud locally by plugging it in to your router, and plugging your PC into the router too. If you don't have a router, you can plug the MyCloud directly into the Ethernet port of your PC: see p110 of the English User Manual. The user manual will show you how to connect via a router, and map drives into the PC's filing system. http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/?id=439&type=25

HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share? I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all. Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
I have already tried the following without success:
1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other: "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

How do I install memory into the Pavilion 17z-F2 series laptops?

How do I install memory into the Pavilion 17z-F (17z-F200, product L2H13AV) series laptops?
HP appears to have no maintenance guide available for this model series. What's up with that?
Please, do not offer the generic (and out-of-date) Pavilion 17 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. It does not appear to apply to the 17z-F series. This guide instructs to remove the bottom service panel which I could have figured that out on my own. However, the 17z-F series does not appear to have any removable panels at all. I took an up-close look at the Pavilion 17z-F100. And, it does not have any removable panels on the underside, except for the battery. So, I presume the 17z-F200 to be the same.
I am a computer technician. And, this is the first laptop I have seen without any service panels. I am probably going to have to disassemble the entire outer-shell to install memory (or to replace the hard disk drive once the time comes). But, every laptop I have worked on in the past had its own special array of hidden screws or special tricks for disassembly. So, having a maintenance guide is a necessity to avoid damaging plastic mounts, clips, guides, etc.
This question was solved.

How about this one:
Pavilion 17z Manual
Don't get me started on this. It's one of my pet peeves, too. HP is not the only one doing this. Acer and Toshiba, etc. also are selling "closed" systems now. I hate it. I will absolutely never knowingly buy one but I am spending a lot of time here answering questions just like this. Good luck and let us know how you do. Sounds like you will be fine.

HT4007 Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

As you can see from all the replies to your question if you are not clear in describing the situation it is very difficult to try and help you.
So first how did you originally purchase Aperture? App Store, DVD or Unlocked Trial version.
If you purchased it from the App store if you log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture then you will be able to install it on other systems besides the one you originally installed it on. Even though the button says Purchase you will not be charged again as lolongnd as this is the same Apple ID you used the first time.
If you installed from DVD or Trail unlock post back.

Do I need to provide the physcial hostname to iAS during installation or can I just that installed name into the /etc/hosts file?

Hi,
Pls confirm if you are using Windows 2000 Pro, in this O/S the
hostname is the name of the computer itself. Check the
MyComputer->Properties->Network Identification->Properties, the name you
find under the computer name will be automatically taken while
installation, if it doesn't then there is some error. However the
C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc\hosts doesn't matter much while installing
iAS 6.0 SP1 or above. Hope this helps
Regards
Raj

Install Portal into remote 9.2.0.3.1 database

Has any successfully installed portal into a remote 9.2.0.3.1 database? My O/S is Windows 2000. I've got IAS Rel 2 9.0.2.0.1 installed and patched up to 9.0.2.2 I've been working with MetaLink, but so far they haven't been able to solve the problem. The issue is that the DAD will not work. Everything appears to install correctly, but after creating the DAD and bouncing the http server, the DAD won't come up. Yes, I can connect with sqlplus, yes there are valid tns entries. I've even created a DAD to my existing portal30 install in my 8i database and that works. Its just this 9i install that refuses to work.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I turned on debugging in the DAD and this is the message:
Database Log In Failed
TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
Verify that the TNS name in the connectstring entry of the DAD for this URL is valid and the database listener is running.
Proxy log On failed.
Please verify that you have specified correct connectivity information i.e. username, password & connect-string in the DAD

How can I install presets into Lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

How can I install presets into lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

Hard to know where the ball got dropped without details.
I suggest creating a new "test" preset in Lightroom, then make sure you can find it in OS (Finder/Explorer).
Wherever you found it - that's the folder your other presets should be in. If they are already in that folder, then the preset files are not copacetic somehow (e.g. not compatible type).
they should end with .lrtemplate

Installing CS2 Into Windows 7

Has anyone successfully installed CS2 into Windows 7? I've tried to install, but keep getting told that the serial number is incorrect when I know that not to be the case.
Thanks in advance.

I am glad I read your response, Bob.
I too had the same problem. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried loading CS2 on our new system but mistakingly entered MY name instead of my wife's registered name, and CS2 refused to run. But up to that point it appeared it -might- have been able to run successfully. That was Problem Number-1.
Here's Problem Number-2: Upon atempting to un-install the CS2 program the following message appeared: "Missing or Invalid Personalization Information, Missing Resources Library." What could be worst? I can't even un-install the software!!!
I called Adobe and was dumb-struct at being informed "...we don't support CS2 anymore"! That, in my opinion, is absolutely foolish and non-scenseical on their part because in the least, they could have supported me and prepped me to upgreade and purchase CS3 or 4.
I also tried to re-install CS2, again, on top of its un-installable condition and got the same message as above "Missing or Invalid.... " And so I remain stuck, three (3) months now without a clue as what to do to get out of this conditon.
I even -manually- deleated as many files as I could in the CS2 Programs File directory in an attempt to get some of the "nay-sayers" un-install obsticals out of the way but, I still can't remove the program, nor re-install over it.
I was able to load CS2 into Window 7's Virtual PC mode. But it can not run there as efficiently as I imagine it might in Programs (x86), or in 64 bit mode if it were indeed possible.
I refuse to believe that I alone, out of millions of CS2 users, am in this problem alone.
I need help Abode! I need help with this Bob! I need help from anyone who can help me get out of this mess. Thank you.

Can I install Sun Cluster on LDOM guest domain. Is Oracle RAC a supported c

Hello,
Can I install Sun Cluster on LDOM guest domains. Is Oracle RAC on LDOM guest domains of 2 physical servers a supported configuration from oracle?
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon

Hello,
The motive behind using LDOm Guest domains as RAC node is to have a better control of the resource allocation, since i will be having more than one guest domains which should perform different functions. The customer wants to have ORACLE RAC alone (without sun cluster).
I will have two T5120's and one 2540 shared storage.
My plan of configuration is to have
Control&IO Domain with 8VCPU, 6GB mem
one LDOM guest domain on each physical machine with 8 VCPU's, 8GB of memory, shared n/w and disks participating as RAC node's. (Don't know yet if i will use solaris cluster or not)
one guest domain on each physical machine with 12 VCPU's, 14GB of memory, shared n/w and disks participating as BEA weblogic cluster nodes (not on solaris cluster)
One guest domain on each physical machine with 4 VCPU's, 4GB of memory,shared n/w and disks participating as apache web cluster (on solaris cluster)
Now, My question is, is it a supported configuration to have guest domains as Oracle RAC participants for 11gR2 (either with or without solaris cluster).
If I need to configure RAC nodes on solaris cluster, is it possible to have two independent clusters on LDOM , one 2 node cluster for RAC and another 2 node cluster for apache web?
Kindly advise
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon
