Is it possible? Sun Solaris 8 Intell on P4

1. I going to install Sun Solaris 8 (Intell) on P4 (HDD 80Gb, 512 Mb DDR SDRAM). Is it possible?
2. How to buy Sun Solaris 8 (Intell) Freeware on CDs? I found how to download it, but can't find how to get CDs.

It should. I can't get mine to install (HP Vectra VL420 MT) for some reason, but I'm sure others have.
You can order the CD's here for $45:

Per http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html :
"Solaris 8 Media kit for Intel platform - $45 US**
Contains CD and DVD Media, full hard copy documentation & bonus pack software. More..."

    I didn't see anything on the Sun site, but the disk arrived with my Solaris media. I have installed it on one machine (you need to create the "oracle" user id, the "dba" group, and you must set the tunable parameters for shared memory to install the software and example database.)
    I tried to install a second machine and the Oracle installer terminates half way through without errors. I'm still working that issue.

  • Solaris 8 Intel - Licence question

    Hi there,
    My name is Long Phan from Australia. I recently got Sun Solaris 8 from SUN (USA) binary free licence (?!). I tried to install following things:
    * Install SUN OS (Intel) - OK!
    * Applied Security & Patches - OK!
    * Setup SAMBA - OK!
    * Setup Webmin - OK!
    * Setup DNS - OK!
    then when I tried to setup WEB (ver 2.0.40) after reboot. I CAN'T:
    * ping
    * nslookup
    * Surf the AnswerBook2
    * Share files (SAMBA) from my Windows pc
    I tried to re-install couple of times but I GOT the same problem. Please anybody helps me with this; I have following questions:
    * Do I need any licence for my SUN Solaris 8 (Intel) before I can setup anything else?
    * If I do then where I can get it?
    * If it's not the case then what did I do wrong?? I can ping, copy files from Windows (SAMBA), surf the AnswerBook 2 from my Windows, nslookup zone BUT when reboot I CAN'T DO anything (ping, nslookup, suft the AnswerBook 2)
    Please helps & thanks

    Hi!
    I also had the same exact problem during the install. The only way that I could procede was to tell it that I didn't want to install networking. Now when I boot, it tries to load the elx0 driver (for my 3Com 3c509b) and brings the following message, "SIOCSLIFFFLAGS cannot assigm requested address." I have checked the Irq/IO setting in the hardware configuration agent and everything seems to be correct. To top it all off, once I logon if I enter "ifconfig elx0 192.168.1.2 up" then everything works fine. I tried to forceload the elx0 module in /etc/system to see if the module just wasn't loaded early enough but this did not help. Any ideas of what else I should check?
    TIA

  • Oracle into Solaris for Intel

    Does the Oracle database for Solaris for SunSPARC, works into a
    Solaris for Intel?
    Do you know, where I can download an Oracle for Solaris for
    Intel?
    That Oracle database version is the only one, wich is not in the
    OTN download page.

    I bought Sun Solaris 8 (Intel platform) from SUN - you just have to pay the media & shipping fees. Oracle 8i (for Intel Sun Solaris8) was included in the package .
    Check on www.sun.com for more details.

    Kalpesh Mehta

    I had similar problems several months ago. I suspect this happens when host pc does not have floppy drive(or bios somehow misreports it) as it was in my case. Solaris 8 seems to work fine in the same environment, so I keep using it for now. Possible workaround might be to use DCA from Solaris 8: Installation of Sol9 started just fine after I entered Sol8 DCA and asked it to boot from Sol9 CD.
    Hope this problem will be fixed in subsequent Sol9 releases.

  • Headstart 6.5 Deployment environment - Sun Solaris Intel

    Is it possible to deploy the headstart runtime environment to UNIX Sun Solaris Intel?
    I am trying to make the 'hsdcgi65' file for Sun Solaris Intel without success. The make file is for solaris (SPARC).
    Modifying the make file does not do any good and while compiling, I am getting the error "hsdcgi65.o wrong machine type".

    Louis,
    Your best bet is to just make a static HTML launch document for your application rather than using the cgi launch
    environment. You can create a static launch document by using the generic Application Launchform on your
    (windows) development platform to launch your application start form. Right-click on the browser window and
    select View Source. Copy and paste this code to make a static HTML launch document.

  • 9iAS for Sun Solaris Intel?

    Will 9iAS be available for Sun Solaris Intel?
    Thanks,
    Shane

    Shane,
    Due to bandwidth/space limitations, there are no plans at this time to put the Intel Solaris version of 9iAS onto OTN.
    That said, the Intel Solaris version of 9i AS will be available through the following channels:
    1) Ordering directly from the oracle store at store.oracle.com, or via your local Oracle representative.
    2) If you have a previous version of iAS for intel solaris (with a support contract), you could request an upgrade via Oracle Worldwide support, and they will send you the software.
    Best Regards,

  • Sun Compiler on Solaris for Intel

    Is Sun Workshop C++ compiler with RogueWave library available on

    I believe this is the case with Workshop 6, which is downloadable as a Beta from the developer connection website, but I haven't checked.

  • Solaris 8 Intel Installation Error: No suitable hard drives found

    HI!
    I was trying to install the free Solaris 8 Intel Edition from CD. All devices were recognized. Afterwards, however, I get the message that no suitable place was found to store the installation image. What should a hard disk look like in order to qualify for Solaris?
    My system contains several hard drives. The first one, were I would like to install Solaris, is empty without any partitions. Under normal cicumstances (Linux, Windows), I would assume that this is the best possible case for a new operationg system...
    Best regards
    Klaus

    Klaus,
    I am having the exact same problem as you. I have the official Solaris CDs from Sun, but am not able to install Solaris on my PC. Installation progresses quite far - including screen, keyboard, time configuration - but then fails saying that it can't find any suitable HDDs.
    I too, have two HDDs, one with Windows XP on it, and the other completely blank. However the Solaris installation does not recognise either of them.
    I've even tried dis-connecting the Windows HDD in case it may have interfered somehow, but it has no affect.
    Please see me message titled 'Intel Installation - Identifying HDDs' which I posted on this forum on 10th November. I haven't received any help on this issue.
    Where do we go from here?

    The foregoing list shows that I do not have sufficient disk space. Oracle Install documentation says I should have 3GB for a full install. My second hard disk should be able to handle this, but I do not know yet how I can add more disk space to the file system. Can you please tell me how I can do this?
    Meanwhile I am deleting the 13 files 9iAS10220_part1 through 9iAS10220_part13 to free up some disk space. Having extracted files and created Disk1 through Disk5, I do not think I will need these 13 files anymore.
    I am still trying to understand what runInstaller script is trying to do.
