Kernel/sparcv9/unix

Dear all
i have solaris 10 and i want to install sorlais 9 i change to ok prompt ,and use boot cdrom but the output is
boot cant open [kernel/sparcv9/unix]
any one can help me ??
thanks
ahmed kehdr

There are a number of SPARC-based systems that cannot function with Solaris 9.
They are too new for that OS.
If yours is one of those systems, you would see exactly that string of error text.
What is your hardware (specific model of computer and cpu speed)?

Boot failed:Enter Filename [/kernel/sparcv9/unix]

Hi All,
one of my support person who has administrator previlages tried move the contents of root to trash directory, in the middle it got hung,and he had restrted the server.
Now the solaris does not boot. It says
boot failed
Enter Filename [platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix]
and what ever we enter there it says boot cannot read.
ELF64 read error.
Please suggest some workaround, nearly 200 users are down, actually it is our licnese server.

Hi,
What you could try is the following :
Boot the system from the solaris cd into single user mode.
Find out what the disk is you need to mount and mount it under /a
After you have done this you can see if you can move back the stuff that was moved from the root directory to the trash.
If that works then you could try and boot again from the disk to see if everything works again.

Cannot open kernel/sparcV9/unix

During my last reboot I get following message:Can't open kernel/sparcv9/unix
ERROR: FCode Aborted.
how to revocer this ?

You will need a Solaris CD that supports the hardware you are trying to boot. Example: A V440 would require a minimum of Solaris 8 7/03 or Solaris 9 12/03. If sucessful, you should be able to fcsk / from the boot cdrom -s without changing root password. If / is mirrored you will have to fsck both primary & mirror or detach any mirrors before booting.

Update SAP kernel in UNIX based

I got a document for kernel update in UNIX based machine .Hereunder I pasted the steps ..In this am not able to understand step 4..Anybody please clarify it how can we compare the original kernel and the backup ..what is 840413 and 841992..Any mistake in the command.Please clarify the command of step4 for AIX .
1. Login as root
2. Make new backup directory
cd /
mkdir SIDkernel_10102007
3. Create latest kernel backup
cp -pr /sapmnt/SID/exe/* /SIDkernel_10102007
4. Compare the original kernel and the backup
du -sk /sapmnt/SID/exe/ --> 840413 /sapmnt/SID/exe
du -sk /SIDkernel_10102007 --> 841992 /SIDkernel_10102007
5. Make new shadow kernel directory
cd /
mkdir newkernel_175
6. Copy the new downloaded kernel files into /newkernel_175
7. Unpack the new downloaded kernel in folder /newkernel_175
SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXE_175-20000221.SAR
SAPCAR -xvf SAPEXEDB_175-20000223.SAR
8. Login as sidadm
9. Stop the SAP System
stopsap
10. Stop saposcol
saposcol -k
11. Login as root
12. Go to the current kernel directory
cd /sapmnt/SID/exe
13. Copy all extracted support packages into this folder
cp -pr /newkernel_175/* /sapmnt/SID/exe
14. Copy back the original file saproot.sh into this folder.
cp -p /SIDkernel_10102007/saproot.sh /sapmnt/SID/exe
15. Go to the current kernel directory
cd /sapmnt/SID/exe
Then run:
./saproot.sh SID
16. Login as sidadm
17. Start the saposcol service
saposcol
18. Start the SAP system
startsap
Thanks in advance

On Unix system you can get help for specific commands by using
man <commandname>
If you execute "man du" you will see, that "du" means "disk usage" and options "-s" and "-k" means "sum of directory" and "in kilobyte". The numbers are the sizes of the directories.

How do I find wether Solaris 8 is running in 32 bit or 64 bit kernel mode

I have some questions
1)Ho do I know wether solaris 8 is running in 32 bit kernel mode or 64 bit kernel mode.
2)Is there any way that we can switch between 32 bit and 64 bit without reinstalling the OS.?
3)Does the SunLink OSI 8.1.1 work with solaris 8(32 bit kernel mode) without any patch. If any patch required , can you tell me the patch that i need to install.
Thanking in anticipation

Hi,
To find out wheter 32 or 63-bit mode
# /usr/bin/isainfo -kv
Now, switching between modes
32-bit mode
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/unix
64-bit mode
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/sparcv9/unix
or OK prompt,
32-bits mode
boot kernel/unix
64-bit mode
boot kernel/sparcv9/unix
or even,
32-bit mode
setenv boot-file kernel/unix
64-bit-mode
setenv boot-file kernel/sparcv9/unix

Kernel Configuration

I am new to Unix and need to install Oracle 9.2.1.1.0 on SunOS 5.9
As per the documentation, I want to change the settings of the kernel in the OS.
I did a sysdef | grep SHM and sysdef | grep SEM
and got the following results:
8388608 max shared memory segment size (SHMMAX)
100 shared memory identifiers (SHMMNI)
10 semaphore identifiers (SEMMNI)
60 semaphore in system (SEMMNS)
30 undo structure in system (SEMMNU)
25 max semaphores per id (SEMMSL)
10 max operation per semop call (SEMOPM)
10 max undo entries per process (SEMUME)
32767 semaphore maximum value (SEMVMX)
16384 adjust on exit max value (SEMAEM)
Then I went to see the /etc/system file, but there was nothing in it
and the file size was 0 ( isn't it surprising? then from where did the OS is getting the Kernel values? are there some other files which have the KERNEL parameters settings too?). Anyway, I made the settings as per Oracle recommendations as follows in the etc/system file
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=2147483648
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=10
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=1000
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=250
After making the changes, I re-booted the machine with "halt"
and "boot -a" command and got the following prompts (I took all the default values)
Enter file name (Kernel/sparcv9/unix)
Enter Default Directory for modules [platform/sunW,Ultra-2/kernel/platform/sun4u/kernel/kernel/usr/kernel]
Name of the system file /etc/system
Root file system type [ufs]
Enter physical name of root device [sbus@1f,0/sunW,fas@e,8800000/sd@0,0:a]
After this I logged on as root and when did a sysdef |grep SHM
I did not get any values whatsoever, i.e now its not even configuring the kernel with the default values which it was doing earlier
This is evident from the following message output of sysdef
IPC messages module is not loaded
IPC semaphores module is not loaded
IPC Shared Memory module is not loaded
Am I missing something here ? Am I suppose to rename the /etc/system file with some extension (e.g exe or sh ). Right now, when I do a ls -al system, I get the following
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 215 Apr 2 11:32 system
Please help me out.
Thanks

The first values you saw are simply the defaults that come with Solaris. The values you put into /etc/system simply update the max values of things - those updates don't load anything drivers or anything. These messages:
IPC messages module is not loaded
IPC semaphores module is not loaded
IPC Shared Memory module is not loaded
simply mean that the kernel modules for IPC stuff haven't been loaded because no programs have requested semaphors, shared memory, or message queues be created for them. This isn't a problem. Its normal.
Once you start up a program that actually uses IPC objects (like Oracle), commands like "ipcs -a" will start showing stuff and the " ..... is not loaded" messages will go away.

Kernel Filename?

Triing to install Sol10 on Ultra60; receive error ener filename
[kernel/sparcv9/unix
tried comands install,etc receive error cannot open
enter filename. What the hell? I try various kernel numbers etc
and nothing.Am booting from cd's obtained from Sunthe media pack)
was under impression all I had to do was boot cdrom and wammo
it would install.Any suggestions?

If you are using CD's that you created, burn a new copy of your installation media.
Do it at a much slower burn speed.
Your error messages was saying:
"I'm looking in the correct folders for the necessary files,
but cannot read what you put in there."
If you are using official, commercially produced disks from Sun,
then replace the optical drive. It's likely you have the original aging drive
in that old eight-year-old U-60, and its laser may be getting ready to fail.

KSLD how to specify kernel name when run ksld command on host

I am trying to use KSLD v1.0 and I could not reproduce similar result shown on KSLD User Guide. I followed almost everything on KSLD User Guide except I don't know how to specify kernel name when running ksld command. Here is what I have tried.
#ksld -t debug /ksld-space/slo8/proto/root_sparc/platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/unix 99
I can only get unix and krtld read in. (ksld_dbx)modules could not show any modules *.o
When I use this
#ksld -t debug /ksld-space/slo8/proto/root_sparc/platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/genunix 99
then I can only read on genunix.
Example on KSLD User Guide use unix.281, what is unix.281 created or obtained from target.
I noticed some SUN Tachnical Support Guru are online to answer questions, thank you for your quick reply.

Installation failed when using Jumpstart Server to install SUN Netra T1 200

I have a problem to install a couple of Sun Netra T1 200 Servers with a Jumpstart Server. The Jumpstart Server is set up and I have executed the add_install_client Script. If I boot the Server which should to be installed the server crashes after getting the assigned IP-Address with a software fault.

#       @(#)rules 1.12 94/07/27 SMI
# The rules file is a text file used to create the rules.ok file for
# a custom JumpStart installation. The rules file is a lookup table
# consisting of one or more rules that define matches between system
# attributes and profiles.
# This example rules file contains:
#   o syntax of a rule used in the rules file
#   o rule_keyword and rule_value descriptions
#   o rule examples
# See the installation manual for a complete description of the rules file.
# RULE SYNTAX:
# [!]rule_keyword rule_value [&& [!]rule_keyword rule_value]... begin profile fi
# nish
# "[ ]" indicates an optional expression or field
# "..." indicates the preceding expression may be repeated
# "&&" used to "logically AND" rule_keyword and rule_value pairs together
# "!" indicates negation of the following rule_keyword
# rule_keyword a predefined keyword that describes a general system
# attribute. It is used with the rule_value to match a
# system with the same attribute to a profile.
# rule_value a value that provides the specific system attribute
# for the corresponding rule_keyword. A rule_value can
# be text or a range of values (NN-MM).
# To match a range of values, a system's value must be
# greater than or equal to NN and less than or equal to MM.
# begin a file name of an optional Bourne shell script
# that will be executed before the installation begins.
# If no begin script exists, you must enter a minus sign (-)
# in this field.
# profile a file name of a text file used as a template by the
# custom JumpStart installation software that defines how
# to install Solaris on a system.
# finish a file name of an optional Bourne shell script
# that will be executed after the installation completes.
# If no finish script exists, you must enter a minus sign (-)
# in this field.
# Notes:
# 1. You can add comments after the pound sign (#) anywhere on a line.
# 2. Rules are matched in descending order: first rule through the last rule.
# 3. Rules can be continued to a new line by using the backslash (\) before
# the carriage return.
# 4. Don't use the "*" character or other shell wildcards, because the rules
# file is interpreted by a Bourne shell script.
# RULE_KEYWORD AND RULE_VALUE DESCRIPTIONS
# rule_keyword rule_value Type rule_value Description
# any minus sign (-) always matches
# arch text system's architecture type
# domainname text system's domain name
# disksize text range system's disk size
# disk device name (text)
# disk size (MBytes range)
# hostname text system's host name
# installed text text system's installed version of Solaris
# disk device name (text)
# OS release (text)
# karch text system's kernel architecture
# memsize range system's memory size (MBytes range)
# model 'text' system's model number
# network text system's IP address
# totaldisk range system's total disk size (MBytes range)
# RULE EXAMPLES
# The following rule matches only one system:
# hostname sample_host - host_class set_root_pw
# The following rule matches any system that is on the 924.222.43.0 network
# and has the sun4c kernel architecture:
# Note: The backslash (\) is used to continue the rule to a new line.
#network 924.222.43.0 && \
# karch sun4c - net924_sun4c -
# The following rule matches any sparc system with a c0t3d0 disk that is

Hi,
It seems to me that you have not created a proper sysidcfg file. From your post, it looks to me like your sysidcfg contains no entries. This is why it prompts you to enter the kernel path. Look on docs.sun.com for a guide to creating the sysidcfg file .

Error after installing tape drive

Hi,
I am a newbie to Solaris, I have a SunFire V120 box, i was trying to install a tape drive(HP SureStore DAT24), i did the install in this manner.
# rm -rf /etc/path_to_inst
# init 6
later at the "ok" prompt i gave "boot -ar" after doing that it asked me various options i accepted the default values, when it asked for rebuilding the /etc/path_to_inst file i said "y", but later everything went wrong.

After doing some google i found that nothing is wrong i just need to comment some lines in the /etc/system file. But still i wasn't able to bacause the system is mounted in read only mode.
Thanking you in advance.

I have exactly the same problem after running an fsck to clear corrupt files.
Is there a problem with mirrored disks and using boot -ar to rebuild path_to_inst?
The basic problem is that the root filesystem is coming up as read only
i.e.
The /etc/path_to_inst on your system does not exist or is empty.
Do you want to rebuild this file [n]? y

Linux install server and solaris 10

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers

ERROR: bpgetfile unable to access network
/sbin/install-discovery: information: not foundHmm. That looks like the image file is corrupt. Can you pull the image from media again? Can you see if there's a /sbin/install-discovery file in the image (usually under Tools/Boot/root). I recall there used to be a problem with that file.

Those are for automated installations.

You do have the option of running VMware on linux, and putting a Solaris 10 image on it, then using that VM as your boot server. But the problem you're displaying doesn't appear to be related to the linux server.

How Do I find out if Oracle 8.1.5 is running in 32 bit or 64 bit mode?

How Do I find out if Oracle 8.1.5 is running in 32 bit or 64 bit mode? Can anyone please respond that may know the answer to this? It would help a bunch. Thanks!
Greg

Hi,
To find out wheter 32 or 63-bit mode
# /usr/bin/isainfo -kv
Now, switching between modes
32-bit mode
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/unix
64-bit mode
# eeprom boot-file=kernel/sparcv9/unix
or OK prompt,
32-bits mode
boot kernel/unix
64-bit mode
boot kernel/sparcv9/unix
or even,
32-bit mode
setenv boot-file kernel/unix
64-bit-mode
setenv boot-file kernel/sparcv9/unix

Installation of Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc M4000

Hi
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on SUN SPARC M4000.
Here is the error I have:
+Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: /platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix+
+Enter default directory for modules [platform/sun4v/kernel /kernel /usr/kernel]:+
krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPU
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
Program terminated
It seems that version of Solaris I trying to install is not support by the Hardware, when I use another Solaris 10 DVD, it works...
But the problem is that I need to install this Solaris version because others softwares are depending on that.
If someone knows how to make this installation possible, it will be very helpfull.
Thanks in advance.

Minimum Supported
Solaris[tm] Operating Environment Versions for the M4000 are as follows
OpenSolaris 2009.06
SPARC64 VI:
10 - 11/06 (U3) plus required patches (minimum)
10 - 08/07 (U4) (recommended)
SPARC64 VII:
10 - 08/07 (U4) plus required patches (minimum)
10 - 5/08 (U5) (recommended)
A full matrix for the M4000 which details the minimum patch requirements to support the h/w is available from https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=1145383.1

Network Booting Solaris 10 on Netra T4 - scratch memory overflow error

Hi,
I recently got a hold of a Netra T4 server, and am now trying to install Solaris 10 on it. Since the server can DVD-driveless, I had to resort to booting it over the network from a boot server. I have progressed through a series of errors, from not configuring the NFS correctly, to making sure the RARP was on as well.
The current issue that I am having is when i start the boot (boot net -v install), it begins to load the image, and then haults when it reaches:
Rebooting with command: boot net -v install
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/network@5,1: File and args: -v install

I'm not exactly sure why this is occuring, or what I can do to resolve this. Has anyone else come across this scenario? Judging from google searches, I haven't found anything that can help me fix this. Hopefully someone can.
Thanks a ton,
Kyle

as well, I have tried using various directories to install from, all coming to the same result.

Sunblade 1000 will boot from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM

I have Sunblade 1000 with a pre-installed Solaris 8 OS. I originally purchased the workstation without a CD-ROM. I bought an old Sun 411 CD-ROM. After installing the 411 CD-ROM, I entered "boot cdrom". Somehow it will not boot from the CD-ROM drive. When I do a "probe-scsi-all" I will often get "fatal scsi errors", but sometimes the SCSI info will be displayed, bizzare. When I type the explicit or long device name with the boot command, it still will not boot. After looking for solution in the Internet and exhausting a few UNIX friends from my questions, I called Sun. According to Sun, the only compatible CD-ROM for the Sunblade 1000 is the DVD-ROM, which is OEM by Sun,and usually ships with this workstation.
After, getting over the shock that Sun sold the Sunblade 1000 without providing backward compatibility, and suffering the humiliation of spending much need company resources for a potentially useless CD-ROM, we broke down and bought the DVD-ROM.
After spending $500 dollars for the DVD-ROM, the Sunblade still cannot boot from the DVD-ROM. If I boot from the disk, and after the system comes up, the DVD-ROM shows that it is mounted, I can browse it's content, etc.
I currently have the Solaris Installation CD in DVD-ROM drive. I also tried booting off the Solaris 2.51, and 2.7 CDs. Here are some info that comes back when I entered the various commands:
ok banner

I'm quoting from an old usenet article from Tony Walton
(@...sun.com)
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=solaris+probe-scsi-all+reset+auto-boot&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&site=groups
�
You should only run probe-scsi after the hardware has reset
but before it's initialized to start running Solaris (you
might get away with stopping then running probe-scsi early
in the boot sequence, but that's only a matter of luck,
really).
The recommended sequence is to disable autobooting if it's
set (so the machine won't boot itself automatically after a
PROM reset), then reset the hardware, then probe-scsi, then
re-enable auto-booting (if it was enabled in the first
place).
So, go to the ok prompt, then
setenv auto-boot? false
reset-all
probe-scsi (or probe-scsi-all)
setenv auto-boot? true
reset-all
