[Netra i] Install Solaris 8

Greatings.
I've got an old Netra i (sparcstation 4) from a friend of mine. Now i want to reinstall i because he foregot his password. I'v downloded Solaris 8 from this site (ofcourse the Sparc version :D )
Now he did't boot from cd-rom when i enter 'boot cdrom' I've got the message 'Can't find boot device'. Now i tried about 7 diverent cd-rom drives. One of them did a little bit more. But that cd-rom drive is not good anymore (read error's). Other driver are 100% working, but not in this machine.
Do i need a specified CD-Rom drive or settings? What could be wrong?

The inquiry started over in the JDS forum, by mistake.
http://supportforum.sun.com/sjds/index.php?t=msg&th=2115
As this is typed, it seems that only the more universal type of CD drives give success. (those that understand a 512byte cluster size in the boot sector -- historically the default)

Netra t1 105: Solaris 8 & 9 install failures

Hi Everyone,
I have two (2) Sun Netra T1 105 machines, each with a single 360MHz Ultra SPARC IIi and 256MB RAM. Both have 18.2GB drives that have been wiped clean.
I am connecting using Winblows 2000 and Hyperterminal, serial port B, 9600,8,n,1.
I want to install a fresh copy of Solaris 9 on these systems, but I am having absolutely no luck. I boot from the Solaris 9 install CD and the systems just hang. I've also tried to do network installs, and they hang as well.
I thought it might be my Solaris 9 install media, so I tried to install Solaris 8 using several different releases - 4/01, 10/01 & 2/02. Each time, I get the same result - the boxes just hang.
I make it this far (serial, MAC, and hostid x'ed out to keep our security folks happy):
Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard

This could be part of the problem. How exactly did you wipe the disks in the other machine, and what type of machine was it?I installed the disks into a Sun Netra T1125, partioned (using format) and newfs'd them to create basic file systems.
How about a "boot cdrom -s"? If it boots this way, does "format" see the disks ok?Tried this, same result. The systems don't make it past the licensing terms message.
As for the mini tests - I ran them against every device, and everything seems OK. The floppy test threw an error because I didn't have a floppy drive installed.
I have a 4 port QFE card installed in the machine - all of the loopback tests passed, but the transceiver tests failed. None of the ports are connected (no cables). The two built in Ethernet ports also passed loopback, and 1 passed the transceiver test (the other failed) - the transceiver that passed has a network cable installed.

Could I be experiencing problems because of the QFE card?? Doesn't seem logical, but.... perhaps I will yank it out and try again....

Netra t1 with solaris 9 fresh install on/standby switch

Hi,
I recently installed solaris 9 onto my Netra 105 box. For the likes off me I can't figure out why the on/standby switch simply does not work since reinstalling. The only way I can power down the box is by literally unplugging it from the wall. I am a total newbie to Sun boxes (& solaris for that matter) & have had zero luck in finding any info specific info relating to this. Can some kind soul put me on the right track?

I have down precisely what you have recommended & the thing still won't go into standby. After executing poweroff from the LOM prompt It just sits there continually humming away. Yet it worked fine prior to the installation off solaris 9 from solaris 8. I have even reinstalled again, this time making sure to include the power management options. All reinstalls were done with the "initial installation" option.
Here is a screen dump off the unit booting & me executing the poweroff commnd:

Edited by: lebaronman on Feb 28, 2008 2:01 AM

I have no really good answer here..
I guess you are using a Netra T1 AC200, right?
Some futher questions;
Are you using an internal CD-Rom?
Have you tried the CD-Rom before so you know it works?
What happens if you try "boot cdrom" without inserting any CD? I think the bootpath to the cd-rom looks a bit strange, and testing that would be the easiest way of verifying if its correct or not. If the path is correct you should get a different error if you attemt to boot from a non-existing CD.
Last question; which Solaris 10 version did you download?
7/M.

Attempting to install Solaris 10 on Netra t1 via external DVD-Rom

Hello Experts,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my Netra t1 via external DVD. I connected the DVD-ROM to the scsi port on the back. System recognized the DVD but does not allow me to boot from it. I have done many things without any success. Following are the details:

I verified the DVD and it works just fine. I install the OS with the same DVD on Netra-440 system without any issues.
Please tell me what am I missing here or doing wrong. Please help.

Sun-worshiper,
Thank you so much for pointing that out. I was loosing it.
Just in case someone else runs into this type of issue:
When you run probe-scsi-all please pay attention to the target. In order to boot from the DVD, I executed the following commands from the ok prompt:
ok nvalias dvd /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2/disk@4,0:f
ok boot dvd

Problems installing Solaris 8 2/04

I installed Solaris 8 2/04 in a Sun Fire V120 (UltraSPARC-IIe 648MHz), the installation finished but when server restarted it displayed this:

Since this is a fresh installation, you might consider starting it all over again.
You may have made some initial selections while prompted at the beginning of the install process, that accidentally omitted essential system files.
As for that device path and the disk? It's pointing to an external non-Sun peripheral that's connected to the rear external SCSI port. That drive has some bad sectors. ( I wouldn't trust a new OS on those sectors until you fixed them.)
The errors are not calling out either of the two possible internal drives.

I found this while setting up a jumpstart server on my linux box (Boy do I never want to have to do that again).

What it pointed out was that the boot cdrom has 2 slices one hsfs and one ufs, I suspect that during the install the netra for some reason has problems with this.

Netra T1 105 Solaris 10

Hi there,
I sucessfully installed Solaris 10 on my Netra T1 105, but when booting from the Jumpstart-Server, I saw that the machine tries to use old informations that seem to be stored on the hostid-chip. So, I wated to ask, if there's a documentation how to erase or modify this information (hostname, ip-addresses...).
Also I wated to know, if anybody has an idea of updating the installed LLOMLite Software?
Thanks for an answers
Thorsten

Well, the SPARC machines only stores one thing; their hostid and ethernet address (ok, thats two things). When you jumpstart a SPARC machine, it makes an ARP request with its ethernet address, and then the jumpstart server responds with a hostname, the client then uses the hostname to find its IP address.
So you probably got an old IP/Hostname on your jumpstart server, if you don't there is probably another server on your network which has old information.
As to LOM; there used to be a patch for it, cant remember which one though.

Partitions problems installing solaris 8 2/04 on Sun v240

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Solaris 8 on a v240 sun machine. The machine is new, and I think it comes with Solaris 10 installation files pre-loaded. I don't want them, I need Solaris 8.
I'm starting installation booting from cd to use my Solaris 8 cds. During initial installation steps the system promts following question:
Searching for a location to place the Solaris installation software...
Searching disks for upgradeable Solaris root devices...
The following root devices were found to be upgradeable:
Release Root Device
Solaris 10 c1t0d0s0
Swap slices are usually erased at each reboot, so it is preferable
to place the Solaris installation software on a disk slice labeled swap.
The disk slice, c1t0d0s1, labeled as swap,
is large enough to hold the Solaris installation software.
NOTE: All information on the selected swap slice will be erased.
Can c1t0d0s1 be used for the Solaris installation software [y,n,?,q] y
And I need to choose one to go on. Then, when I reach the step to set disk partioning up it tells me that I have to do it using cylinders. I try it, but the slice that is being used in the first step (see above) to store installation files is named as swap and I cannot edit it.
How can I proceed? I want to edit my partioning during installation process as I always have done when installed Solaris before.
What is goin on? any help?
Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Since this is a fresh installation, you might consider starting it all over again.

Installing Solaris via network

A few days ago I have got an old Sun server (Netra 1125).
I am fairly new to Sun hardware and I wonder if there is a way to install Solaris via serial cable and a TCP/IP network (I don't have a cdrom and I don't have vga or floppies).
I have a Linux machine nearby. Can I use BOOTP or something like that?
Can anybody point me to some documentation?

solaris' network install is called "jumpstart"
searching for "solaris jumpstart linux" on google provides some pages, in particular is this one that is pretty old (references sunos4) but should work... http://www.unixpeople.com/HOWTO/jumpstart_on_linux.html

Is there something I can do about that?
I was wondering if this server support drive that have more than 8Gig?
Or is it because its a Ultra160 SCSI drive?
Im not really familliar with SCSI.
The drive is unformated.
Is there anyone with a suggestion?

Well it worked great until it came to installing files to the disk.
It exit with the following error:
One or more disks are found, but one of the

Error while installing Solaris 10 using Solaris CD

I'm getting an error while installing Solaris 10 in an Ultra 10 box.
I have Solaris CDs (Total 4) and I have installed Solaris 10 in a Ultra 250 box , I did not get any problem. That means CDs are fine.
But when I try to boot the CD 1 from bootPROM mode by giving the following command
ok boot cdrom
I get the following error :
rebooting with CD command boot cdrom
boot device : /pci@1f, 0/pci@1 , 1/idi@3/cdrom@2 ,0:f file and args
Cant read disk label
Cant open disk label package
evaluating : boot cdrom
Cant open boot device
Then the box boots up with Solaris 8 which it has now..
Can anyone please help me to solve this issue ?
Thanks

With the above information , I just wanted to tell you that the CD rom is getting detected as i can view all files in the CD.,,
