Mounting Sol 8 SPARC disk on Solaris 10 x86

I have been having a very difficult time mounting a Solaris 8 (SPARC) SCSI disk on a Solaris 10 x86 box. The disk is recognized (it shows up under format as c2t2d0). I cannot mount it at all.
The individual slices will mount under another Sol 8 machine. I can also boot the x86 machine with System Rescue CD, and it will mount the individual SunOS slices as UFS with the -o ro option.
I have look extensively on the web for a solution, with no luck so far. I am clearly missing something very basic. I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks!
Tom

UFS on Solaris is endian-specific. Solaris does not support mounting big-endian UFS (SPARC) on a little-endian host (x86). I don't know that anyone was trying to work on a converter.
The other problem you'll run into is that x86 drivers expect an MBR label on the disk with a VTOC inside a Solaris partition, while SPARC disks usually have only the VTOC label.

Sol 10/Sparc disk not found

I am trying to install Solaris 10 on various Ultra II based systems (Ultra 60, AXi etc) which have been running FreeBSD.
Solaris 10 reports "No Disks Found"!
Solaris 9 can be installed, after which Sol10 can see them, however this is inconvenient for those people who don't have Solaris 9 disks :-}
More to the point, the algorithm for determining if a disk is present is obviously defective, (probe-scsi from obp has no problem finding them) and there should be an opportunity to TELL the system where the disks are if it can't find them.
I have tried both the ga and the 1106 release.

Usually there is a message during boot that indicates that there is a problem with disk label before the install gui is loaded.
You can use option 6 of install CD/DVD to boot to CLI and use the format command to label the disk.

RMAN Restore from Sun Solaris 9 Sparc to Sun Solaris 10 X86

Hello,
I will need to perform a restore from a 10.2.0.4 DB on Sun Sparc to a Sun X86 10.2.0.4 DB. Since its the same platform will I have any issues?

Those are different endian formats and therefore will require the use of Cross-Platform Transportable Tablespaces or expdp/impdp.
Check Cross-Platform Tranportable Tablespace: CONVERT DATAFILE or TABLESPACE for details on the process.

Boot from second hard drive with ZFS in Solaris 10 x86

Hi,
The usual menu.lst to boot Solaris10 x86 with a boot environment that contains a ZFS boot loader is this one
title Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_nbu6wos_nightly X86
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
title Solaris failsafe
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -s    -B console=ttyb
module /boot/x86.miniroot-safeI understand that to add an alternate boot disk, I have to play with installgrub and then attach it in the pool.
But my question is : Is there a way to boot from my alternate hard disk by adding a new entry in menu.lst or is the only
way is to modify the BIOS parameter?
Thanks for your help,

Thanks for your answer Alan,
But ok, I imagineI can add a grub entry. But what I want to know is what is the exact way to boot from an alternate hard disk on Solaris 10u6
x86.AFAIK there are only two ways to do this. Select the disks via BIOS which becomes a royal PITA in a short amount of time or play with a boot manager such as GRUB until you get the syntax right.
Personally I put all OS's on the primary disks if possible to avoid these situations and if I have others to play with then you can easily mount them in or set them up as D: drive etc...
The only exception would be in an enterprise setting where you need to do things such as mirroring but then again in those situations it's only one OS per machine anyways so it's much easier.
So at the end, I am not sure what I have to configure and what is the procedure to boot from my alternate boot diskTry the grub homepage for the grub manual and hopefully for a mailing list or try a search engine.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/zfsboot-1?a=view
has an example to follow of using -B.
And moreover, the installgrub does not working for me :
root@mac1 # zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scrub: resilver completed after 0h2m with 0 errors on Thu Mar 26 10:56:24 2009

root@mac1 # installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c5t4d0s0

You shouldn't need to do an installgrub if you installed Solaris. Try c5t4d0s0 not s2.

Exploring Solaris 10 x86

I am exploring the option of replacing all of my older sparc workstations with Solaris 10 x86. We are currently in the testing and learning phase. So far I think it is pretty cool.
My problem for the moment is that I have engineers who compile and run code on our existing Sparc server. Since I am just learning my way around Solaris 10, I want to be sure that I am correct in my assumption that code compiled on a sparc system will not run on a Solaris 10 PC.
So..basically does anyone know with Solaris 10 x86 does it run Sparc compiled programs and or will it run shared out applications or not? Is there some feature within this new version that makes this work? With my current setup of sparc workstations, there is no problem mounting the shares from the home and using the workstation CPU to do the work. It would be great if it could still work the same but with an x86 workstation.
If not I'll have to work on my boss to buy the PC version of SUN's compiler.
Thanks!!!!

Yeh...Im already giving him quotes. :)
Another question. I have Fedora on a Dell PC with a Dell mouse with a center scroll button. On that system I can use the center button as a 3rd button were I am able to cut and paste with the buttons.
However, I cannot seem to get the same functionality to work on the Solaris 10 running on Dell hardware. The scroll will work but wont work as a 3rd button if pressed like it does on the linux box. Is anyone using Dell with a Dell mouse and figured out how to get the mouse to work as 3 buttons? I've tried several selections by running kdmconfig, but nothing changes. Any ideas or can anyone point me to some documentation??
Thanks!!

How to mount StorageTek 2530 disk to Solaris

I have finished the setting in CAM for StorageTek 2530. How can I mount it to the file system in solaris? Is it possible to expand /export/home directory? Is it possible to concatenate a new RAID 5 from StorageTek 2530 to the original RAID 5 of /export/home?
Thanks

I got my air disk to mount. A little bit of legwork on my part and found the drive thru looking on my drive and shared folder. Definitely different than tiger.
Here is my new problem. I moved some folders and files from my leopard mbp, but when I mount the same air disk on a mac mini g4 running tiger I can not see any of the folders (besides "shared") or any of their contents. Even the "shared" folder show nothing but empty.
The only thing I did on the leopard machine was customize some of the folder icon styles, gave them more slick looking icons.

Sparc MO on Solaris 8 for intel

Is there any way possible to mount and read (readonly is fine) a scsi magneto optical drive that was written on a Sparc 5 for Solaris 8 loaded onto an intel *86 machine. i know there are issues with big and little endian and that there are ways to convert the big into little, but i have no access to a sparc machine to run the utiltity. Is there anything in Solaris (intel) that would be able to read the disk. As of now it can see the disk but thinks it is unformatted.
Thanks in advance.

Could anyone guide us through the installation of Oracle 9i AS on solaris(Intel),

Problem jumpstarting a Solaris 9 SPARC from Solaris 10 x86

Hi all,
I'm going to install a couple of servers using Jumpstart, but I've run
into a problem so I'm kinda in panic.
This is the net boot:
Executing last command: boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@c,1 File and args: - install
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
29200 panic - boot: Could not mount filesystem.
Program terminated
ok
I've setup the jumpstart server on my x86 PC, which is Solaris 10 final
with JET 3.7.3. Since I'm jumpstarting Solaris 9 onto a SPARC machine, I
had to do copy_solaris_media over NFS, since I can't mount the SPARC
ISO-CD1 on my x86. The install server seems to be OK, at least it didn't
complain during setup.
The log entry from sniffing the JS server:
3266 1:15:25.48103 aaa -> xxx WHO C port=33345
3267 1:15:25.48427 aaa -> xxx WHO C port=33345

install_config=192.168.4.5:/opt/jet rootopts=:rsize

Any idea what could be wrong? It stops at 29200, wheres Solaris 10 runs
further up to 38000 something.
Jumpstarting the Solaris 10 onto the same SPARC works perfectly, using
the exact same configuration files.
Thanks

Hi all,
I managed to solve the problem.
This is very weird! can someone explain why this happens?

I then replaced /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1 with /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1 from the Solaris 10 tree, renamed /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_10-1 to /tftpboot/inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1
Voila!
Now works.
inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1 was not corrupt (must be some internal bootimage bug related to Netra-T1?).
Old bootimage: "inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1", 152376 bytes, "sum" 3662 and 298.
New bootimage: "inetboot.SUN4U.Solaris_9-1" (Sol 10 image), 214880 bytes, "sum" 53512 and 420.
By the way I was using latest Solaris 9/04, u7

Hi All,
Looks like it was a driver / incompatibility / unsupported issue since 2 other much smaller USB keys (Lexar USB Flash Drive – 32GB, SanDisk Cruzer Colors – 4GB) were successfully mounted automatically by volfs service as follows:

Solaris 10 x86 don�t recognize hard disk of Dell PowerEdge 2850

Hi:
I�m installing Solaris 10 X86 in a PowerEdge 2850, after I changed ACPI and put 119376 -01 patch, now i can see disks but when the instalation begin it go until 15% and doesn�t follow with it and doesn�t show any messages .
I have a perc 4e/di Raid Controler and 3 hard disk off 73 Gb
Thanks for Advance.

Solaris 10 does not play well with certain raid controllers shipping on the Dell 2850s.
See http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=23549
You may want to look at the HCL entry for the 2850
From http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/systems/details/806.html
Stephan Sachweh writes,
If you have a DRAC4/I board inside you should upgrade the firmware to v1.20 and disable the VIRTUALCDROM and VIRTUALFLOPPY while installing Solaris.
Also you need a patch for big drives if you have 73GB Seagate harddisks.
In your Solaris 10 boot floppy, edit Solaris/bootenv.rc, append this line to the end of this file: setprop acpi-user-options 0x4 ---
For some info about the perc 3/di on the older 2650s, see http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/systems/details/6.html

Problem encountered installing new disk on Solaris VMware

Hi Guys,
I'm trying my first attempt to create a new disk on solaris 10 filesystem but having a few issues mounting disk. i've been following instructions on google searches but now am stuck and really some expert advice.

Mounting a second IDE disk

My Solaris 8 x86 system has two disks. The second disk appears fine. when I fdisk it allows me to configure the second disk as a full unix type partition. However when I try to mount:
#mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c1d0p0 /space
I get the message:
#mount: /dev/dsk/c1d0p0 is not this fstype.
I'm trying to use the second disk as extra space
If you can describe howto make my second disk usable
please help.

Did you newfs it?
i.e. # newfs -m 2 /dev/dsk/c1d0p0s6

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.

Mounting /tmp as a filesystem on Solaris 10?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to mount /tmp as a filesystem in Solaris 10? My server is running Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 and the boot drive is encapsulated. After I change vfstab to mount /tmp as a standard filesystem, the server goes into single user mode whenever I reboot. It complains that it is unable to find the volume device for the /tmp filesystem. I also notice that the diskgroup where the /tmp volume resides is not imported so it seems like Veritas is not initialized at this point.
On a side note, I have been able to mount /tmp as a filesystem in the past in Solaris 9.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

What does your vfstab entry look like? Almost certainly the error is there.
On a side note, I have been able to mount /tmp as a filesystem in the past in Solaris 9./tmp is a filesystem by default on all versions of Solaris. I think you're trying to say something else here.
