NO FDISK OPTION DURING SOLARIS 8 INSTALLATION

I tried to install Solaris 8 on a Dell Optiplex GXM500 desktop and it failed midway with the following message
"NO DISKS THAT MEET THE CRITERIA IN THE SOLARIS INSTALLER DOCUMENTATION FOUND. CHECK YOUR CONFIGURATION OR SELECT ANOTHER INSTALLATION OPTION"
It did not give the option to fdisk the hard disk to create Solaris partitions. There is no problem with the hardware as all the hardware, including the hard disk (30 GB) was correctly indentified by the Solaris installer.
Please help. Thanks in advance!

Booting from the DCA floppy and loading the installation
solaris OS from the "Software 1 of 2" cdrom has the same
effect as directly booting from the "Software 1 of 2" cdrom.
It's the installer on the "Software 1 of 2" cdrom that
matters. It's the old and proven motif/openwindows
installer that allows more control over the installation
process and at the same time has less restrictions
(compared to the new java based webstart installer you
find on the "installation" cdrom).

  • Which Name Service for Solaris installation behind router?

    I want to install Solaris on my computer in a small home LAN behind a router.
    The Solaris computer is not part of a zone, a domain and there is no own DNS server in LAN.
    I want Solaris to get the DNS from router which in turn gets the DNS server assignments from network provider.
    This is similar to a Windows installation which gets the current DNS servers defintion from network provider at connection startup.
    Now what do I have to select during Solaris installation? See attached snapshot
    I guess LDAP, NIS and NIS+ are not suitable.
    Do I have to select "None"?
    Does DNS mean "own DNS server in LAN" or "DNS from router" (as intended)?
    Thank you
    Peter

    Hello
    I don't know you home setup but in general you will have to use DCHP so solaris will get all info from the route the ip and dns etc..
    If you want to use a static ip you will have to config the DNS by hand.

  • Not able to add driver update during Solaris 10 installation on IBM x3550

    I am facing a problem with installation of Solaris 10 on IBM x3550.
    My question is not specific to IBM server.
    I am trying to add SAS driver during Solaris 10 installation. I selected option "Apply device driver update" (option # 4). It is asking to insert driver disk. But only showing floppy (f) and cdrom (c).
    IBM server 3550 doesnt have floppy drive and I have the driver image only in a USB stick. Unfortunately, Solaris 10 installation is not showing usb device during driver installation.
    Is there any way we can add usb device to the driver update disk list??
    Thanks in advance.

    Does no one have an idea?

  • No Disks that meet the citeria in the Solaris installer documentation found. Please check the system or try another installation option #

    I'm tring to install this on an IBM netfinity 5100 server which has ultra 160 scsi drives.I get this message

    You are probably using the INSTALL CD that comes with Solaris x86.
    Don't use it but use the Software CD 1/1 to boot and install the system instead. The INSTALL CD is supposed to be used on a completely blank system (no other OS's) although even there I think Software CD 1/1 does the job.
    Also, if you are new to Solaris I advice you to get the FAQ (you can find it on e.g. http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2- it should be really helpfull during the first few weeks/months on Solaris

  • Error No disks Found during Solaris 10 installation

    Hi,
    i am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on an Ml370 server that we bought. during the installation it gives the error No Disks Found. how can i correct this problem?

    One question:
    Does this server ,ML370 G5, support Solaris in 64 bit mode?
    http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/systems/details/1891.html doesn't indicate if it is certified for 64 bits.
    and http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/493913-0-0-0-121.html indicates ony 32 bits.

  • LC / Solaris Errors occured during the installation : null

    Hi all,
    I'm installing LC with WebLogic on a Solaris server. Everything seems to goes right till the end of the process when I get "Errors occured during the installation" and the error message is "null". It's not actually helpfull...
    I've checked the installation folder permissions : 777 so it seems to be right too.
    The only weird thing I see is that the serial number I have to use seems to be for Windows : "Adobe LiveCycle ES Win WebLogic", but it worked because  it allowed me to install a bunch of applications.
    I'm logged as root.
    Any idea ?
    Thx

    Please Check the system or try another installation option
    then it gives me Unix Prompt , I tried to use FDISK but could not get the right Disk name , I tried FDISK /drv/dsk/c0t0d0s0 or /drv/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

  • Problems during the installation of NSU

    Hi everybody! I have Nokia N95, it's my first Nokia ) Today I downloaded NSU and tried to install it. I had an error ("Command line option syntax error. Type Command /? for Help") during the installation of Microsoft Visual C 2005 Redistributable. I skiped this error and continued installation of NSU. All was ok untill the last moment, when I wanted to upgrade the firmware on my N95: there was just white screen ( in the NSU) on my PC and noting more, so I had cancelled the process. I think, that this problem occured because of that error with Microsoft Visual C2005 Redistributable.
    What do I have to do? Thanks for all answers )

    I have the same problem with my nokia E50, but no one have helped me.

  • Error 1935:  An error occured during the installation of assemble component. Acrobat XI

    I currently have Acrobat Professional 9.5.4 loaded and attempted to load Acrobat Professionl XI on a Windows 7 box.  When I do, I receive the below error:
          Error 1935:  An error occured during the installation of assemble component.  {76C3F0F6-9B9D-35DA-81C6-CA8A88CC93CA}
    I've tried a few things to resolve the issued with no success.  I've tried:
    1)  setting the RegistrySizeLimit to 4294967295
    2)  Installed .net Framework 4.5  (upgraded from 4.0)
    3)  Clearing the transaction log via command prompt (admin level)
    I have over 20 users that need the program and performing a new OS load is not an option.
    Heeeeelp!!!!!

    If you had to activate AA 9, deactivate it before proceeding, then uninstall it (though the install should also do that). Then run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to clean up the registry for Acrobat. Also, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Reboot and do an install. Be sure to log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus. Maybe these steps will help. Let us know what else you run into. After the install (if successful), you will need to install the updates. Best to use the Help>Updates if possible.

  • Is Perl part of default Solaris Installation ?

    I am devloping an application which invokes a few perl scripts during installation. I just want to know:
    Is Perl part of default/standard Solaris Installation ?
    How safe is it to assume existence of Perl on client-side Solaris System?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Satish

    Perl has been in Solaris in /usr/bin since Solaris 8. I am not completely certain, but I believe it is included in all metaclusters including the minimal Core cluster.

  • If DNS is not enabled during CUCM installation it can't be used later?

    Hi all,
    seems to me this can't be true but when attended one telepresence class they told me the following:
    "It is recommended to install CUCM with DNS enabled even if it will not be used initially. If you do not select the DNS option during installation, you would have to reinstall CUCM to enable it later."
    Any comments are appreciated.

    Aaron / Chris
    I am hoping you guys have done this before and can provde some feedback.  I currently do not have the domain name configured for my CUCM 7.1 cluster.  Performing a show network eth0 shows:
    DNS
    Domain       : Not configured  <-- Not set
    Gateway      : 10.48.116.1 on Ethernet 0
    After a recent upgrade to my companys exchange servers from 2003 to 2010 I noticed I stopped getting RTMT alerts.  I took a packet trace from the CUCM publisher and saw in the trace I was getting invalid user ID.  THe trace showed the alert from field was RTMT instead of [email protected].  I guess this worked in the 2003 exchange becasue the relay agent only looked at the IP address I was coming from.  2010 requires a domain name.
    I found this article and according to the requirements to configure alerts to be sent via e-mail, the Domain name should be configured to properly addressed this request to the SMTP server:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/service/7_1_2/rtmt/rtconfal.html
    Here is were I get nerviouse. When I type the command set network domain company.com I get the WARNING:
    Adding/deleting or changing domain name on this server will break database replication. Once you have completed domain modification on all systems that you intend to modify, please reboot all the servers in the cluster. This will ensure that replication keeps working correctly. After the servers have rebooted, please confirm that there are no issues reported on the Cisco Unified Reporting report for Database Replication.
    The server will now be rebooted. Do you wish to continue.
    So I interpert this as telling me I will have to perform the set network domain command on all 8 of my subscribers and then reboot them?
    IF you guys have done this did you have to perform a drop replication and then rebuild the replication?  If you have not done this do you know if you have to.  Since I have Contact Center Enterprise and Express in my CUCM cluster and we are 24x7 I have to be cautious.  When I have had to rebuild replication before it has taken and hour and it was not a good time.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback you may be able to provide!
