Solaris 8 install on Sparc without CD-ROM

I would like to install Solaris 8 on a Sparc 20 workstation that does not have a CD-ROM drive. I believe it should be possible to do an installation from another machine over the network. Does anyone have experience doing such an install? The host that I hope to install from is an x86 linux box, if that makes any difference.
Any advice / hints would be appreciated.

Isn't is easier to temporarily attach a scsi cdrom to the
sparc, just for installing the os?
But you can boot/install solaris over the network.
The boot procedure is documented here:
http://docs.sun.com:80/ab2/coll.40.6/REFMAN1M/@Ab2PageView/25227
You'll need:
- a "rarp" deomon that maps the sun's ethernet addes to an
ip-address.
- a "tftp" daemon that has a copy of the boot code for the
client. Stored under the hex encoded IP address of the
discless client with it's architecture name appended, like
this (example for a client at addr 172.20.0.72):
% pwd
/tftpboot
% ls -l AC* inetboot.sun4m.solaris.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 24 Jul 23 2000 AC140048 -> inetboot.sun4m.solaris.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 8 Jul 23 2000 AC140048.SUN4M -> AC140048
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 117204 Jul 16 2000 inetboot.sun4m.solaris.8
You'll find the "inetboot" somewhere on the solaris 8 boot
cd. (...lib/fs/nfs/inetboot ?)
- a rpc.bootparamd server, that tells the client where it
can NFS mount it's root filesystem.
An entry for a discless client named "disclessclient" looks
like this:
disclessclient root=server:/cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot \
install=server:/cdrom/cdrom0/s0 \
boottype=:in rootopts=:rsize=32768
Of cause the server must have the "Software 1 of 2" solaris
cdrom mounted and must "NFS export" it. Note, the discless
client needs "root" access to the filesystem; i.e. do not
map the root uid to nobody.
Bringing in linux to the equation complicates matters, for
sure...

Problem with application directories on JDS - Solaris 10 11/06 sparc

I am running a fully patched JDS on a Sun Blade with Solaris 10 11/06 sparc.
After installing, removing, and re-installing Sun Download Manager 2.0 (web start version) I am having problems with JDS application menus.
I used File Manager (probably accessed through the This Computer Desktop icon) to move around directories under applications:///. This information is saved in ~/.gnome2/vfolders. Folders available from the Launch menu under Applications were all messed up, but I solved this problem by removing all contents of ~/.gnome2/vfolders and restarting JDS.
Now, when I enter the This Computer icon on the Desktop, and click on the Applications icon in there, there is an extra Applications icon there that is not associated with any application and cannot be removed (when I try and trash it, I get an error saying something about "not on same file system"). Also, when I enter the Internet folder under Applications, there is an extra Internet icon in there that also cannot be removed. These extra folders are not seen when accessing the Applications menu from the Launch menu. How can I clean up these "bad" launchers, or folders, or whatever they are, that appear to exist only under the Applications directory accessible through This Computer (computer:///)?
Thank you...

Maybe the answer is here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0918/6n3aglfdl?l=en&a=view&q=location+of+applications-all-users
To Add a Menu Using Menu Files
To add a menu for all users, perform the following steps:
1. Create a directory entry file for the item that you want to add. Create the directory entry file in the /usr/share/gnome/vfolders directory. For more information about directory entry files, see Directory Entry Files.
2. Locate the vfolder information file for the location where you want to add the menu. For example, to add a menu to the Applications menu, locate the file /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info.
3. In the vfolder information file, add a <Folder> element for the new menu. For more information about vfolder information files, see Vfolders and Menus.
The next time users log in, the menu is in the assigned location.

Oracle 9.0.1 on Solaris 9 4/03 Sparc ?

Hi,
I have a CD pack for Oracle 9.0.1 and I was going to install it on Solaris 9 4/03. But then I read the release notes and Solaris 9 is not mentionned. Not mentionned either in 9.2.0.1 releases notes... Only saw it for Oracle 10.
Is Oracle 9.0.1 supported on Solaris 9 (4/03) Sparc ?
Thanks,

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.

Samba 4.x in Solaris 10 1/13 SPARC

As we don't provide this version, the only ways to obtain it is to compile directly the code source or find a package in Internet that works with Solaris 10.

Can't mount Solaris 10 DVD

I've been having trouble mounting the Solaris 10 10/08 Operating System SPARC DVD after installation so that I can add packages from the DVD. Rather than burn my own DVDs, I bought the media kit. Booting from that DVD in order to install Solaris 10 on this Sun Blade 150 workstation was successful, but it should now automatically mount when I insert it. This is using the internal DVD ROM drive that came with the workstation.
I can mount the other DVDs in the kit.
I can mount the problem DVD on Windows Vista, but that environment messes with the file names while creating a ZIP file so that by the time the package gets to the workstation where it's needed, it's useless.
Next, I bought an external DVD ROM drive and got the same results on my workstation.
I then moved the external DVD ROM drive to my Sun Fire V210 server and got the same results.
Finally, I asked the fine folks at Sun to send me a replacement DVD. They sent the whole kit. The results are exactly the same on the workstation with the internal DVD ROM drive. I can't mount the SPARC DVD, but I can mount the x86 DVD for example.
I previously attempted to burn the DVDs using the only drive I own that is supposed to have that capability, an internal drive on the Windows Vista PC. That failed.
This should work using the media kit that I bought. What's the solution?

CDROM Mount Solaris 10 x86

BACKGROUND:
In support of the U.S Navy, I've developed an IETM in XML and distributed it as PDF documents (in the Windows XP environment) meeting the current Military standards. My new tasking; However, is to ensure that this project can run on both the Solaris x86 platform and the Solaris SPARC platform. This IETM CDROM is classified and the contents may not be downloaded to any storage device. The IETM must run from the CDROM drive.
PROBLEM:
The 1st time I install the CDROM into Solaris x86, the CDE interface named the CDROM the following: CDROM/CDROM0/IETM, (IETM is the CD's label I named it). This causes all my external links between the 19 documents that comprise this IETM become invalid (not to work). This is only true when the link needs to travel up to a higher directory. If the link requires a location to a lower sub-directory, the links work as designed. I believe this is due to the fact that the links do not need to read the CDROM label when moving down directories.
So, I go off to the development box and try and reconfigure my links to accomodate Solaris' mount naming conventions. I link to the following: CDROM/CDROM0/IETM.
This time when I insert the CD into the CDROM drive, CDE interface names the CD, CDROM/CDROM0/IETM#2. ?!?!?!?!
I'm relatively new to Solaris, but well versed in computer programming and computer architectural design , but I'm totally confused with this 2 week old problem.
Does anyone have the time to respond to my dilema? Am I overlooking a very basic solution or is this new tasking of mine going to send me back through the development process to accomodate Solaris?
Thanks to you, in advance,

The missing pieces can be found in the UFS partition on the CD#1,
but Solaris can only mount UFS partitions on CPUs using the same
byte order that was used to create the filesystem. That is, Solaris
SPARC can mount big-endian UFS filesystems intended for SPARC;
Solaris x86 can mount little-endian UFS filesystem intended for x86.
But you cannot mount a big-endian SPARC UFS filessystem on
Solaris x86 - and vice versa.
The solution is to download the Solaris 10 DVD installation image,
and setup the install server from the DVD. The DVD installation
image contains everything that is needed in the platform neutral
ISO9660 filesystem image. There's no need for
setup_install_server to access the UFS filesystem bits using the
DVD.

Mounting Solaris 8 formated disk to solaris10 X86

I had purchased a 1 TB SATA hard disk and used a special adaptor from Acard to plug it into my scsi bus on a Pinnacle Data System computer (Sun Clone) and succeeded in making 137 GB partitions (slices) and suceeded in using 959Gb which is probably all of the disk anyway. I then had to loan my adaptor to a friend. Unfortunately before I could get it back I had to fly to Germany from California for an emergency sw issue. I then went to Scotland and used a SATA to USB adaptor to plug the hard disk into my E250. I had no problem mounting all the partitions and filling them up. Now my problem (finally) is that I loaded a spare disk for my Lenova T60 with Solaris 10 X86. Why won't the system mount any of the partitions of the TB disk?
The system sees the device in the /dev/dsk directory but keeps telling me the device is already in use or the mount point is busy......I created the mount point. The system sees my 8GB corsair memory stick perfectly. I went into some other points and it seems the disk is an unknown format............what?
Anybody got any ideas, let me know,
Thanks, Mike
ps: Sorry I was so long winded

Hello Mike,
Solaris x86 and Solaris SPARC ufs aren't interchangeable due to big-endian and small-endian dependance.

ZFS filesystems are interchangable between x86/x64 and SPARC.

How to configure CUPS in Solaris 10 X86 and SPARC

Dears,
I need help in configuring CUPS for Solaris 10 X86 as well as on SPARC.
What i did?
Downloaded the CUPS 1.5.0
read the readme.txt
read the INSTALL.txt
Pre-req installation requires :-
CFLAGS= -i /some/directory \
CPPFLAGS = -i /some/directory \
CXXFLAGS = -I /some/directory \
DSOFLAGS = -L /some/directgry \
LDFLAGS = -L /some/directory \
./configure --
It errors out with
checking for gawk ... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk ...nawk
chekcing for gcc ... no
checking for cc ... no
checking for cl.exe no
Configure error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
see 'config.log' for more details
I installed all the missing dependencies from www.sunfreeware.com and I have the same problem.
I also tried to install the software packages from the operating system dvd... like for
ls -lrt gcc
gcc "SUNWgcc", "SUNWgccS", "SUNWgccruntime"
ls -lrt cc
cc "SUNWgccruntime", "SUNWlccom", "SUNWcctpx", "SUNWccisgn" , "SUNWccinv", "SUNWccfwctrl", " SUNWccfw", "SUNWccccrr", "SUNWccccr", "SUNWccccfg", "SUNWislcc",
"SUNWaccu", "SUNWaccr", "IPLTccons", " SUWgccs", "SUNWgcc", "SUNWmccom", "SUNWmcc", "SUNWusbccids", "SUNWusbccid"
ls -lrt gawk
no results
ls -lrt mawk
no results
ls -lrt cl.exe
no results
Is there any way should i follow apart from the above?
Rgds,
Mky

Check pkginfo -l for each package.
export the PATH variable where the packages are installed, like /usr/local/bin and etc.

How to mount a CD-ROM as write protected Read only

Hello,
I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version.
What I want to do is the following:
1. Burn a .cdr image onto CD-R
2. Go To Terminal and Locate the optical medium drive
I forgot what the command is.
3. As the CD-R is recognized as a CD-ROM or in UDF format, I want to
perform the following command using hdiutil.
4. Have it mounted as write protected and read only from the optical medium drive.
5. The next step is to use the same commands, save it as a bash file scripting file, and have it burned onto another CD-R or DVD-R.
If anybody can understand what I'm talking about, please help me do so.
Thanks for your responses in advance.
JohnDB3975

I am trying to be as clear as I can since I have a communication impediment.
Should I use the hdiutil or the mount command in order to perform that task?

Upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc E2900 server

Hi,
We have a Sparc E2900 server which has Solaris 8 & Veritas Volume Manager 4.0. UFS & VXFS filesystems are under Veritas control.
We are planning to upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.
My questions are as follows
1) Can we upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 directly ?
2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?
3) Which is the best site to get information regarding upgradation ?
Regards,
Tejas J Raval

2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?No, it dows not. If you want to use VxFS you still need to have Veritas products installed on this server
