Installing Solaris 9 on an x86 platform with win98 and win2K

Hi,
There is a Pentium P4 (2.4 GHz) machine with a 40 GB hard disk...
This has 1 primary partition and the remaining is the extended dos partition. In effect there are the following logical drives - C, D, E and F. These are FAT32 partitions and have WIN98 and WIN2K (server) installed on them.
There is a free space of abt 8 GB remaining on which i am trying to install Solaris 9 (via CD). But am just not able to do so.
During the process, i get to the step saying that my disk is to be partitioned and that i could either choose the DEFAULT LAYOUT or manually partition the disk with the fdisk.
Default layout indicates that there would be 1 x86 partition (primary, boot) and the remaining would be a solaris partition - implying that all my other data would get formatted out!!!
When i try to use the fdisk to manually partition the disk, the free space mntd above does not show up!!!
But this is seen when i use the DOS fdisk - i.e. i could create a logical drive on the extended dos partition...
Can some one please help me install the Solaris in the free space i have ?? Thanks.

Hello!
There is one simple method also..
Instead of Installation disk of Solaris, insert the Software 1/2 Disk, and try to follow the actuall Suninstall method of installing Solaris. Here you will get the option that how to utilize the free space.
I myself have installed more 5 OS on a single Hard disk :) this way. Try this method

Thanks,
See http://edocs.bea.com/wls/platforms/index.html - as far as I
can tell, it is not supported.

Install Solaris 8 on Gateway Laptop with Windows XP

I have Gateway laptop with Windows XP pre-installed. Now I want to install Solaris 8 without removing the Windows XP. I wanted to use dual boot option. Can any body advice me if there is any whit paper on this subject(with step by step insturctions). I have partition magic but it can only partition and format to NTFS, FAT, FAT32 and Ext2 (linux only).
Thanks for your help.

It can be done but the biggest stump is the network interface. I've an Acer 350 series with a built-in NIC. I also use XFree86 because the Xsun doesn't recognize the video card. The biggest problem in getting Solaris x86 working is getting the network interface to work, since the PCMCIA support is horrible. You need to be sure the the components on your laptop conform to the HCL. As for X, just use XFree86.

Installing Solaris 10 on x86

I have downloaded the iso files and zip files(all 5 files) for Solaris 10 for x86.
How do I go about installing it on a particular partition?I
am running Win XP Pro, but have made an unformated partition on a logical drive in the extended partitions.
How much disc space do I need?(The documentation says 2gb,but I guess I shud allocate mroe?

I've just installed Solaris 10 1/06 yesterday. I have already had windows xp installed on my system and there was no problem with this. At that time the partition configuration was: 5,5GB for the Primary Partition on which XP was installed and the rest to about 80GB was an extended partition (logical).
Using Partition Magic I resized and moved the logical (larger) partition so that I would get some free space before and after that partition. I've used the "left side" unused space created to enlarge the winXP NTFS partition to a total of 9GB. The unformatted space of 15 GB remaining at the "right side" I've formatted as a primary partition (FAT32) - this does not really matter, but I wanted there to be a partition I could see.
As you can see, I reserved 15 GB for Solaris 10. The full installation costs about 6-6,5 GB. During install you will be prompted for a sort of "drive configuration" in which I specified about 10GB for the Solaris system, 4GB for my Home "drive"/directory (I'm not used to Unix terminology) and about 850 MB for Swap (beeing taken into consideration the physical memory of 512MB). The system works fine like this. The only problem I get now is that Partition Magic will not start anymore in windows because it does not recognize the Solaris partition and that creates an error. :P
Hope it helps.

Installing Solaris 11 on SunFIre T1000 With Automated Installer Server Fail

h4. Hi
h4. A few days i am try to intall solaris 11 11/11 on our server Sunfire T1000
h4. we first upgrade the firmware of the server to

The chash failures indicate that either the repository you're using has corrupt content for those files, or the files are being corrupted on download. The latter is more likely, usually a result of badly-behaved http proxies.

WLP 10.2 on Solaris 10 for x86 platform

We wish to run WebLogic Portal 10.2 using Solaris 10 for the x86 platform, but discovered that this configuration is not supported by BEA. Does this mean it will not work? If it work, what is the risks using it in a production environment?
Thanks.

My intention is to:
        Restore backup tapes that in the sun v440(sunos5.9 for sparc)on the sap data backup.
        solaris11 for x86 (in vmware)do with the resumption of tests.
         use sap With a version that sunos_64 for sparc,Feasible?
No.
SunOS SPARC is a BigEndian platform whereas SunOS on X64 is LittleEndian, you won´t be able to restore the backup there.
See note 552464 - What is Big Endian / Little Endian? What Endian do I have?
On top of that, there´s no database installation for Solaris x64 for 6.40 versions.

How to exclude X window portion when installing solaris 10 for x86

i am really a newbie to solaries,
i wanna install solaris for develop purpose,
but i don/t wanna include X window in system.
what shall i do ?
regards.

I use (and like) webmin to perform things on Solaris when I'm not familiar with the large admin command set.
http://www.webmin.com/download.html
The 1.340 level has improved remarkably.
I share your interest in building Solaris 10 mini systems without X on vmware:
- Security
- Disk footprint
- Service machine, without a need for a gui, and no need to develop X applications.
I'm still trying to find a good jump-start example for this purpose, because I don't need anything but the C locale, and the Asian fonts take up quite a bit of space.

Install Solaris 5.10 64 bit with Raid 1

Hi Oracle Support
At present I have two server X2270 with information below :
S erver 1 have 4 h ard d isk ( 1 h ard d isk = 1TB)
S erver 2 have a h ard d isk ( 1 h ard d isk = 1TB)
I want to Move one HDD from server list order no.1 to server list order no.2. Mean 1 of 4 HDD of server1 will move to server2
And it should be: server1 has 1TB x3 HDD and server2 has 2TBx2
After , Server1 configure with RAID5, server2 configure with RAID1 .
I configured Raid 1 on Server 2 but when I install Solaris , I don’t see Hard disk configured Raid 1 .
Thanks
LuyệnTV

Just because you have two disks doesn't mean that Solaris will automatically use them as mirrors. You have to set this up, using SVM, ZFS VxVM, or the hardware RAID controller. Sometimes you can do this as part of the install, often it's done afterwards.
You haven't said what type of root file system your Solaris is on, so it's not possible to give you a procedure to mirror the boot drive.
If you use hardware RAID, it will zero any data on the drives, so that's probably out. I suspect you are using hardware management on your first system, as Solaris can't boot from a software striped or RAID5 device. This had to be setup before Solaris was installed on that system.

Since installing Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappearing, only in Firefox, Safari is fine...

I have stopped using Firefox as nothing I have done has fixed this problem. I have tried shutting down Firefox and rebooting it, I cleared all my add-ons and then added adblock back (that's the only one) but it still doesn't work. I've deleted large files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything else that will work. I have spoken to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since Mavericks.

Hi thanks very much for your reply. I did a few things like delete my add-ons and I don't have the problem of the disappearing cursor (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story) any more but it seems to have been a mac issue as there were many complaints on the Apple forums of the cursor disappearing since the Mavericks OS and not just in Firefox but in multiple programs. Looks like they've fixed it somehow!

Cannot compile on win98 and win2k platforms

I wrote a program:
public class averfruit
public static void main(String[] args)
int orange=50;
int apple=20;
int average=0;
average = (orange + apple) / 2;
System.out.println("Average no. of fruit is : " + average);
I tried the full path to compile it with jdk1.3 and j2sdk1.4.
Both incurred the same errors:
averfruit.java:11: illegal character: \0
int apple = 20;
100 errors
I also tried to run it on win2k and win98 platforms, same errors.
However, I can compile this program by JBuilder5.
So, what's wrong with my code, the jdk or my OS?
Thanks
gogo

Thanks a lot for your instruction and it can be compiled now.
Could you tell me how do you set the env't variables regarding the (1) path and (2) class path to the jdk1.4.../bin/ and jdk1.4.../lib/?

Help with start up. new iMac 27" with Marericks installed has been giving me trouble with IDs and passwords. More than one account downloaded from older Laptop. Now the computer has the turning wheel in from of gray screen and won't go any further when

I recently started using my desktop iMac 27" and have been having problems since installing Mavericks, not saying that Mavericks is the problem per se. I think I have too many accounts with too many names, with too many Apple IDs and too many passwords, email passwords and Apple ID passwords, and keychain passwords, etc. Can't keep them straight even though I write everything down. The screen has been making me log in and log out with Account name and passwords after everything I've been doing, also confused about Users and Groups and how to sync everything. I finally just "shut down" everything and the screen was black. When I turned the computer on again, the circular gear in the middle just kept turning but nothing happened after that. Then I held the on button in the back until the screen went black again.
What should I do? Is there a way to combine all my accounts into one account with one Apple ID? I should say that I also have trying to use iCloud and it has different IDs and passwords. Also when I try to log in with one account name, I can't enter anything I write,and when I type on the keyboard, nothing appears on the screen, although I can receive emails, I can't send them.
In another account, what I type does appear on the screen, but I think it's an earlier account and doesn't translate aver to the other account. ALTHOUGH i set up iCloud accounts, they don't appear any more.
Very confused. Any Ideas about how I can get the computer to start up again and show a new screen?
Thanks to anyone who has workable suggestions.

If you really believe that your system has been compromised, here's what you do:
Disconnect your Mac from your cable modem;
Back up any documents on your system that are important to you;
Boot your Mac from the system installation disks that came with it (insert the disk, restart your Mac, and hold down the "c" key until you get the "spinning gear" icon);
Choose a language and click the arrow button to continue;
From the Utilities menu, choose Disk Utility;
In Disk Utility, select your computer's hard drive;
Click the "Erase" tab;
Click the "Security Options" button and select to have it overwrite all the data on the hard drive;
Click the "Erase" button and allow it to process;
Once the "erase process has completed (it will take a while), reinstall Mac OS X.
Or, if this is too much for you to accomplish on your own, take your system to an Apple Store and have them help you perform these steps. If your system was indeed compromised, this will remove any such hack. You can then set up a new user account for the computer, reinstall your applications (reinstall only from original disks or downloads from the company making the software) and documents, and reconnect to the Internet.
Note that when you reconnect to the cable modem, you may still get an IP address starting with 198. This is normal with some cable modems and probably not a cause for concern. It will not be an indication that your system is still compromised; that will not be possible if you perform all the above steps.
Regards.

My add-ons act like they're installed, but don't show up. This didn't happen until after I installed FF4, had lots of trouble with it, and had to go back to FF3.5.5. Suddenly my add-ons don't work. How can I fix this?

I installed FF4 on both my laptop and PC, but I kept getting kicked offline, especially from Facebook. I then uninstalled FF4 and went back to FF3.5.5 (on the PC) and FF 3.6 on the laptop. This solved my connectivity issues, but add-ons are now acting up. No add-ons at all show up on the PC, and only Personas show on the laptop. When I try to install Forecast Fox and Colorful Tabs, I get the "install now" message and the message to restart FF, which I do. When it repaints, the add-ons are just not there. I expect it's something I'm doing wrong, but I don't know what it is. Java is updated. Any pointers? TIA!

You're welcome

Please help, it seems hard!!
