Netra t1 200 & Solaris 10 Device problem

I'm trying to install Solaris 10 from CD on a netra t1 everytime though it gets to creating devices and fails with this error

Is it best to install solaris 8 first then do an upgrade.

Think I've gotten to the bottom of this.
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.

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.
Attached i will sent the Jumpstart-Client-Output and the config Files of the Jumpstart-Server.

#       @(#)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

# 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:

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 .

Netra T1 (200) and Sun Storedge D1000

Following scenario:
I want to set up an Sun Cluster 3 enviroment. For that I have two Netra T1 (200) and two D1000.
The Netra T1 has only one SCSI interface on borad, so I added an PCI SCSI/Ethernet combocard in both server. Now I am able to write data from each server to each disk array.
But the following error occur:
After all parts were connected, I execute an "probe-scsi-all" on one server to see the disks in the D1000, but I cannot see any disks of the D1000.
On the second server I got the error message:
Nov 5 10:58:13 wapgw2 scsi: WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@5/SUNW,isptwo@4 (isp0):
Nov 5 10:58:13 wapgw2 SCSI Cable/Connection problem.
Nov 5 10:58:13 wapgw2 scsi: Hardware/Firmware error.
Nov 5 10:58:13 wapgw2 scsi: WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@5/SUNW,isptwo@4 (isp0):
Nov 5 10:58:13 wapgw2 Fatal error, resetting interface
I work with Solaris 8, patchlevel 24. The Prom was already updated (111991-06).
Can somebody help me?

Hello,
thanks for help.
In order to change the scsi initiator on one of the two machines, I need the path of both interfaces.
Since now I changed it not.
As I know you do the following:
- switch off one server
- set auto-boot? to false
- reset-all
- probe-scsi-all
after that you have the path of both scsi interfaces. With that info you perform a nvedit and set the id of one machine for example to 6.
But I thought that regardless of the scsi id, I should be able to do a probe-scsi-all.
Was this a mistake from me?

Sun netra t 200 please help

Hello and Hi to all members,
I am trying to install solaris 9 OS to my sun netra t 200, but the problem is i dont have any sun keyboard. I am currently using serial connection installing the OS. I have problem finding the command especially F2_standard.
please help me regarding the problem??I tried to search from the net but i still can find it?? please help me??
thanks
syafiq

During a serial installation, it asked for your terminal type. How did you respond?
During the serial installation it displays a message that function keys like [F2] can be replaced with the key sequence <ESC>-<2>. That should work fine with a 'vt100' connection.

Anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find my provider. I swapped SIMs with another iPhone 4 on ios 4 to confirm device problem.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.

Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty.

Work-around to "unknown device" problem

I found a work-around to the "unknown device" problem, a pain to do, but much less painful than any alternatives I've found so far.
In my case, I can connect my Ipod one time. After I eject it, if I reconnect, I get the Unknown Device error. That's where this work-around comes in.
There is an INF file (a Windows hardware configuration file) in the Windows\INF directory that has a name that will be specific to your computer. Once you determine that file, you need to re-install it. Re-installing it allows the Ipod to be recognized the next time it is connected. These are the steps:
1) Determine the file name on your computer. You only need to do this one time, and then remember the name. Using Regedit, navigate to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-44455354 0000}. Then do an Edit / Find for "ipod" without the quotes, making sure that "Data" is checked and "Match whole string only" is not checked. It should find "Apple iPod USB Driver" in the "DriverDesc" value in one of the sub-keys. There will be another value called "InfPath". The data for that is the file name for the INF file on your computer. On my computer it is oem51.inf. It will be something like that on yours.
2) In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Windows\Inf and find that file. In addition to "oem??.inf", there will be an "oem??.pnf" (same numbers), which is a binary version of the .inf file. Delete that file, or rename it if you prefer. If it exists, step 3 will not work.
3) Right click on the .inf file and select Install. The computer will chug for a few seconds. The .pnf file should reappear and, more importantly, your iPod should now be able to connect one time. At least it does for me.
I hope that Apple puts out a fix for this problem sometime soon. Meanwhile, doing steps 2 and 3 every time I want to connect is annoying, but bearable.

I would like to apologize for posting this message. I promise that it did work and did seem to be the solution at the time I posted it, but it helps me no longer. My Ipod was recognized several consecutive times after I posted this with no work-around, but then it became an unknown device again, and there it stays, seemingly forever.
I am a highly skilled and experienced Windows system programmer, and this has me stumped. I apologize for any time that my message may have wasted for others. I have also tried every other solution that has been posted here and elsewhere, and none work.
I would recommend that Apple pay me a lot of money to find and fix this problem. Short of that, they should pay someone else to fix it. To have this many fatal problems for so many people should be considered unacceptable. Until a fix is available, I shall just be happy that I got as much onto my Ipod as I did before it became unavailable.

Netra 440 on Solaris 8?

Hello there...
We have our applications running on Netra 1400/1405 system on Solaris 8.
I have two questions in this regard
1) Now we plan to migrate to a better / robust system like Netra 440. But Netra 440 comes with Solaris 9 or 10 (not sure). So wondering whether we can customize Netra 440 with Solaris 8 (by asking SUN while ordering). Is it possible? If it is higher than version 8, development effort is required and we don't have that much time to do so now.
2) What is the major difference between Solaris 8, 9, 10? Directory structures changed? Libraries changed?
For 440, please refer
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/Netra_440/spec
Please advice.
Thanks

Most code that runs on Solaris 8 should be able to run on Solaris 9 and 10 unmodified.
You can ask the System Handbook for OS support information:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/validateUser.do?target=Systems/Netra_440_R/Netra_440_R
That shows later versions of Solaris 8 are supported.
2) What is the major difference between Solaris 8, 9, 10? Directory structures changed? Libraries changed?UFS is compatible between all versions (but Solaris 10 adds support for ZFS). Libraries are always changed, but it depends on what you're doing as to whether or not that matters.
See also the "What's new in ..." sections of the docs for Solaris 9 and Solaris 10.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-5202/6je7shk47

For 440, please refer
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/Netra_440/spec
That's the hardware specs page (which doesn't talk about required operating systems). The OS information is on the page before you clicked here.

Did anybody compile driver for a Prism 2.5 wi-fi card on Solaris 10?
Please help. [email protected]

Hello,
thanks for help.
In order to change the scsi initiator on one of the two machines, I need the path of both interfaces.
Since now I changed it not.
As I know you do the following:
- switch off one server
- set auto-boot? to false
- reset-all
- probe-scsi-all
after that you have the path of both scsi interfaces. With that info you perform a nvedit and set the id of one machine for example to 6.
But I thought that regardless of the scsi id, I should be able to do a probe-scsi-all.
Was this a mistake from me?

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

And then it hangs forever. In the OBP, I've set the input and output ttys to ttyb to eliminate LOM interference.

I have the feeling I am missing something very simple, but I am at a loss. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

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:

This problem is annoying the hell out off me. Everyone I have spoken to hasn't even heard off this problem.
Any other advice you can give would be very much appreciated.
