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 mount USB & CDROM drives from single user mode - Solaris boot disk?

Hi All,
I need to carry out ufsrestore on a single newly replaced system disk (no redundancy / mirroring) from either USB or CDROM drives from the following steps:
( i ) GRUB => e, e, cdrom –s, Enter, b (boot from Solaris 10 x86 media).
( ii ) Choose menu 1 for Install Solaris Interactive Mode to reach single user mode.Below are the commands that I have tried in single user mode without success:
mount –r –F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /cdrom (after unmount Solaris CD)
mount: /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 is not a DOS filesystem.
svcadm –v enable smserver
svcadm: Pattern ‘smserver’ doesn’t match any instances
svcadm enable autofs
svcadm: Pattern ‘autofs’ doesn’t match any instances
devfsadm
devfsadm: mkdir failed for /dev 0s1ed: Read-only file system
mkdir /mnt
mkdir: Failed to make directory “/mnt”; Read-only file systemPart of the problem is due to the current READ ONLY filesystems which does not allow the creation of mount point such as /mnt.
I have been able to create both / root (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) and /export/home (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0) filesystems with newfs that are awaiting for restore using ufsrestore.
The only option I am left with is to attach a secondary disk to install Solaris 10 on either of them before bring the system to multi-user mode so that service such as volmgt, autofs, volfs are available to access USB & CDROM drives.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Jack

Hi JKGN,
Is the directory a located under the root filesystem. ie /a? Are there any other mount point for say USB drive as well? I am not in a position to try it out right now but will get back
to you soon on whether /a exist or not.
Btw, the last thing I managed to do on this system at the time was added a secondary 1TB internal disk with the intention to restore both / and /export/home data onto this disk while
making use of all the disk device management services such as the following services only available in a fully installed Solaris system (both single & multi-user modes) installed on the
primary disk:
# svcs smserver

As a result, I am left with no option but the need to rebuild this system with only a single primary disk while in single user mode. However, the single user mode that I am in is the
one from Solaris installation disk with restrictive (_cannot create folder for mount point or running disk management utilities_) capability such as those services just covered, compared to one from a completed Solaris installation system with full access to all filesystems and utilities / commands in general.
I would very much value your assistance on how to mount both CD & USB in this restrictive limited Read Only OS (assume that it is running from memory) in order to get complete access to
the blank primary disk so that full restore with ufsrestore could take place.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Mounting Solaris 10 concatenated disk array?

I have attempted to mount a D130 disk array attached to an E420R system running Solaris 10. This array has three drives installed an formatted. I would like to mount the three disks as one large storage partition. It seems to me that I want a concatenated stripe but I am not really sure.

I am not really sure.Either a concatenation or a stripe. I'm not sure what a concatenated stripe is.
Neither will offer redundancy. A concatenation can be more easily extended in the future, while a stripe would offer better performance in most situations.

Booting Solaris10 x86

I've just installed Solaris10 x86 in my PC.
I have two disks: No. 1 with WIN_XP and a lot of data.
No.2 with only Solaris10 just installed but I can't boot to it. When I reboot the PC it goes directly to WIN_XP. I suppose that it may be because when I installed Solaris, I deselected the 1st disk to avoid that the program installation would damage or erase anything on it. (Got a notice about needing to enter the BIOS because of it, but I don't know what to do there).
The installation went quite OK; not the slightest problem.
( I used a Personalized Installation, not the Predetermined one)
The question is: If I reinstall Solaris 10 on the same 2nd disk and I don't deselect the 1st disk, will the program leave alone my WIN_XP and all the data in this disk allowing me to make a choice when rebooting the PC?

Sir,
I have installed both operating systems on one disk and have Solaris set as the primary operating system.
In this way Solaris rightfully recognises Windows as an existing operating system and shows it to you in its boot-menu. You can make your choice which operating system you want to boot from at boot-time.
I haven't tried it (yet) but I suspect that, when you configure your Solaris disk as the primary boot disk, Windows will be recognised as an optional disk to boot from

License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?

How to mount Aiport Extreme Disk - Leopard

Just got a miniStack v2. Added a 500gb PATA. Formated the disk while hooked up to my macbookpro. Then moved it to my Airport Extreme via USB. My MBP sees the drive when I open my Mac Harddrive under the shared tab>central station>minStack 500GB.
What do I do now to mount the drive and start using it as backup, etc?
Is there something that I need to enable somewhere like "mount all airport disk?" or something in the airport utility?

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.

Auto-Mounting Network Shares/Disk Images

Hi,
I'd like to share how I solved my problem with auto-mounting a network disk image/folder share to be used as a custom library/location for Aperture 3.xx. I can now either reference the master photos from the network or have it copy to this disk image volume on the network, although it might be better to have it copy to the disk image volume, so one can move it around as a file later. I researched hard over these forums and internet resources and discovered what I thought was the best way to accomplish this. Initially, I found right away that Aperture doesn't allow you to create a library over your network drive or a home server such as mine, unless it is partitioned/formatted to Mac OS. This wasn't acceptable for me as I also run Windows 7 PCs that need to utilize the network folder shares, as well.
I don't understand why I don't have this problem using iPhoto 2011, and do with Aperture 3.0, which is a far more expensive application. Anyhow, I read a little about NFS, but didn't know how to implement this or if it required the Mac Server and/or a non-built in application, it probably isn't compatible with windows. So, I found that by creating a .DMG disk image file, as a partitioned/formatted Mac OS file in Disk Utility, and saving it to the network folder of my choosing, did the trick.
Steps I used to accomplish this:
-Go to Disk Utility and create "New Image"
-Select format w/ MacOSX Extended(journaled) and choose "single partition/GUID" type (or whatever you want)
-Enter a custom size of your disk image (ex in 1GB or 1TB). Click "Create"
* I created this locally 1st and then I copied it over the network, to the network folder/subfolder on my HP Mediasmart Home Server EX495. I found that creating it over the network took too long and would crash Disk Utility.
-After it's copied to your desired location over the network folder, open Automator.
-choose "Application" workflow, double-click to add "Get Specified servers". Enter location of your server (ex smb://hpserver/)
-Then add "Connect to Servers",
-Then add "Get specified Finder Items". Click Add, and locate your disk image file over the network. (this will automatically add the location path. For ex. smb:/hpserver/photos/aperture_library.dmg)
-Then add "Mount Disk Image".
-Then test workflow by clicking on "Run" button on top right of window. If your
Finder->Preferences->General settings on your Mac is set to show "Connected Servers" on your desktop, your disk image will appear on you desktop.
-Finally, save this Application workflow as an application by clicking File menu->Save As. Save this to your documents folder area.
-To have your Mac auto-mount your disk image automatically when you login:
->go to System Preferences->Accounts->your "Admin account name"->Login Items
->click "+" sign and navigate to the Documents folder, to where the Automator application you saved
->click Add. Once done, it will appear on the Login Items area. You can choose to hide it, if you want by clicking the checkbox.
-Now Restart your Mac, and now your disk image should auto-mount.
Hope this helps, as it helped me solve the issue. Too bad one must have to program this and it is not native on MacOSX.

Too many steps. Do this:
1. Go to Disk Utility and create a disk image with the following properties:
Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Partitions: Hard Disk
Image Format: Sparse bundle disk image
2. Copy the image you just created to the share on the network where it should reside.
3. Open System Preferences, and click on the Accounts icon
4. Select *your account* and click on the Login Items tab
5. Drag the icon for the disk image from the network share into the Login Items list
If a login item is something on a network share, it will reconnect to the share it's located on automatically first.
If a login item is a disk image, the disk image will be opened and mounted.
It's important that the image is a journaled one because if it isn't, being disconnected from it while writing would be potentially disastrous.
It's important that the image is a sparsebundle for two reasons: sparsebundles only take up as much space as they need (e.g., a 1Tb sparsebundle with 100M of data takes up about 100M of space), and they also break the disk down into smaller files. If the underlying filesystem on your network share is FAT32, then no file can go over 4Gb. If you use a sparsebundle, of course, there's no practical limit to how large the disk image can get. Also, it can speed up certain types of backup procedures.
I suggest using partition type "Hard Disk" instead of "1 partition GUID" because, as a disk image, there's no sense in having a partition table or making it bootable (because you can't boot from the image).

Time Machine and mounted sparse bundle disk image - file by file backup?

I think I had this system working in Leopard, but upon upgrade to Snow Leopard it seems to have broken. Does anyone have any idea how I can get Time Machine to back up the contents of a mounted sparse bundle disk image in real time - file by file within the disk image? For example, I have a 2GB sparse bundle disk image that i keep all of my bank statements/files/records in. It auto-mounts on boot and stays mounted. I use the disk image to keep it password-protected, so if I unmount it it is fairly safe. In Leopard, I would exclude the .sparseimage file from backup, but it would still backup the mounted image itself on a file-by-file basis, so I could enter Time Machine and explore the image folder by folder, file by file (say I deleted an old bank statement by mistake, I could go into time machine and recover as if it were a normal file/folder).
In Snow Leopard, after a clean install, and creating a new sparse bundle disk image and excluding the .sparsebundle file, I can't seem to get this to work even though the image is mounted. Is there any way to trick Time Machine into backing up the mounted image as it would any other folder? I know I can back up the .sparsebundle file incrementally but in order to recover a lost document I'd have to remount the old bundle and that seems rather roundabout.
Thanks,

I think you're trying to bypass the finder to mount the disk. Try this (I'll bold the key steps):
- *Turn off Time Machine* in the System Preferences.
- Option A: If you directly use a hard disk (not wireless) that has the sparsebundle you want to open, *connect the disk* but don't double click on the sparsebundle.
- Option B: If you are using wireless, this means use shift-command-k (or shift-apple-k), and if it says "Connect As..." in the upper right instead of disconnect, then use that button to *connect to that wireless drive*.
- Confirm the sparsebundle shows in that folder before proceeding...
- *Open Terminal* (Applications>Utilities>Terminal.app)
- Type: *hdiutil attach -noverify* (<-- notice a *space " "* must be included after typing this here but *DON'T hit return* yet.)
- *Drag the sparsebundle to the cursor in terminal*, and it should fill in something like /Volumes/HardDrive/COMPUTERNAME.sparsebundle for you. Now you can hit return, and the disk will mount.
- After you are done browsing sparsebundle's mounted image, *eject the mounted disk* like you would any other disk (not the sparsebundle image itself, just the disk icon that appeared if you successfully mounted it).
- Turn *Time Machine back on* in the System Preferences.
Hope this helps.

Solaris 8 on Sparc and X86

Will I experience any problems connecting a Trusted Solaris 8 X86 systems to a SPARC Trusted 8 system? Will all the trusted features work between the two.
Thx

I am using Java 5.0 to develop applets, but if I use
all the possibilities that 5.0 version offers (such
as enum) that means that clients viewing my applet
must have JRE 5.0 as well. Does that mean a very
recent browser will be required?no.
I found which browsers support Java 5.0 on the page
J2SE 5.0 "Supported System Configurations" at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.h
tml
In short, what I take from there is that browsers
required would be:
- Mozilla 1.4+
- Internet Explorer 5.5 (SP2+), 6.x on Windows
platforms
- Netscape 4.7.x on Solaris 8 on SPARC and x86
- Netscape 7 and 7.1 are not offically supported, but
should work
I have no idea how recent these versions are and
whether it is acceptable to assume that web visitors
will have these versions. I'd think it is almost safe to assume people have those, they're not that young. the question is rather "do they have the JRE 1.5.0?"

Hello!
Did you boot to the Internet Recovery Partition?
Here’s how:
1/ Make sure your computer is completely shut down.
2/ You’ll have to be quick next: Press the Mac’s power button. As soon as you either hear the loud chime, or see the display light up - usually after a second or 2 - on your keyboard press [alt] + [cmd] + [r] Keep these keys on your keyboard pressed until you see a spinning globe with the text “starting Internet Recovery” You might have to connect to your Wi-Fi network before you can continue here.
After a few minutes, you’ll be presented with a Utilities screen. This is the Internet Recovery partition. If this step is already giving you problems, try using a USB-keyboard. It doesn’t have to be an Apple-keyboard. If you have a Windows-tailored keyboard laying around, use the “Windows-flag” key in stead of the [cmd]-key and it should also work.
3/ Choose Disk Utility and click [continue]

IMac g5 will not mount in target disk mode

I am trying to recover data from an iMac G5 with a failing hard drive. The mac recently stopped booting and does not get past the grey startup screen before just turning off. There have been many other cases like this that I have looked at, but I still have not found a solution. I have started up from the install disk and can see that disk utility still regonizes the disk (althought it is marked as failing) but no options for repairing or verifying are available (greyed out). System Profiler on the non-target mac can see the drive (under firewire tab), but I don't know if I can mount it because Disk Utility can not see it. Is there anything I can do to extract the files? Thanks for any help you can offer. Sheldon

If the HD has failed on the old computer then you can either recover from your backup, however I'm assuming from your post you were not backing up. If that is the case then you can purchase Data Rescue 3 (Google it) and see if it can recover some data or you will need to take it to a data recovery service which will be extremely expensive.
As a general rule of thumb ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have a solid backup plan! Beginning with Leopard 10.5.x there is no excuse to not at least be using Time Machine. If you are not familiar with TM then please watch the Time Machine Tutorial.
