OpenSolaris at HP Proliant DL160 G6

Hello,
I want install OpenSolaris at HP Proliant DL160 G6, but I don't know If is my hardware supported by OpenSolaris. I found some HCL for OpenSolaris: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/os/systems/views/all_servers_all_results.mfg.page3.html, there is only HP Proliant DL160 G5 server. Is there some chance, that OpenSolaris will running at my server?
Thanks a lot
Tomas.

If you use Solaris 11 Express 2010.11, then this should work.

  • Solaris 10 on HP Proliant DL160 resizing xdm login screen

    I have installed the Solaris 10 X86 on an HP Proliant DL160, and the login screen appears very Large. Is there a way to make the login screen smaller? Using xdm as the window manager.

    Hi Asgorath,
    Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you but I
    am experiencing the identical problem on a HP
    Proliant BL25p Blade Server. Here is my hardware
    config:
    CPU - Dual Opteron 2.6 Single Core
    Memory - 16gb
    Controller - HP Smart Array 6i
    Logical drives - 1 (2x72gb RAID1+0)
    I have tried the same things as you and I still get
    intermittant boots. Power on and off does not always
    work as the system still hangs. It's totally hit or
    miss. Once it soes boot it seems to work fine. I have
    also installed the latest Solaris 10 for x86 Patch
    Cluster in hopes that some of the kernal patches
    would fix the problem. So far no luck as the system
    continues to hang...HARD!! HP was out to my site
    today and the Eng. is going back to the group that
    qualified Solaris10 on the HP Blades and see if they
    have any input. If I receive anything back I will
    post it here. I know this post is late and if you
    have resolved please post your fix.Hi doc42755,
    I have not come up with a solution as of yet, if I do come up with a solution i will most certainly post it here.
    However, if you find the solution could you let us know in this thread aswell.
    Thanks

  • Last version of HP ProLiant DL160 Rack Server

    Hey everybody!
    I am trying to find the last version of the HP ProLiant DL160 Rack Server, but whether I don’t find it or if I do it turns out to be really expensive.
    Do you know any website where I can buy the last version?
    As cheap as possible.
    Thanks!

    I think that the last version is Gen9, you can find it in: https://www.ware247.co.uk/
    They can get you the server at a good price, they usually do.
    Good luck.

  • Boot failure Solaris 10u7 + HP DL160

    Hi,
    My system is unable to boot after a fresh install. When I choose the "safe mode" in GRUB, I can boot to a console. When I try to boot normally, the system hangs after the console displays the line, "Configuring devices."
    When I add "-kv -m verbose" to the kernel parameters in GRUB, I see the following output:
    Configuring devices.
    ISA-device: asy0
    asy0 is /isa/asy@1,3f8
    pseudo-device:pseudo1
    pseudo1 is /pseudo/zconsnex@1
    The boot does not progress past that point. Similar results are observed on OpenSolaris 2009/06
    The DL160 requires third party drivers for the disk controller and network interface. I've only installed the driver for the disk controller as I'm not interested in networking this system yet.
    Any advice? This failure seems to be related to scanning the PCI bus. Is there any way to tell which device is causing the system to hang?
    Thanks,
    Russ

    According to the "FAQ on rootnex bind warning"...
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/16887
    ... this is a bug in the "bcme" driver. The FAQ lists a way to
    suppress the warning and return a "success" result from
    dma__bind() anyway, but I think this could lead to data
    corruption.
    I'd try to remove Broadcom's driver, and use Sun's "bge" driver
    for Broadcom BCM57xx NICs instead (I'm assuming Sun has
    fixed their "bge" driver and handles dma__bind() failures).
    To use Sun's bge driver you probably have to install a pci device
    alias to /etc/driver_aliases for your Broadcom NIC:

  • Upgrading from SBS2008 to 2012 Essentials

    I'm upgrading from SBS2008 to 2012 Essentials.  I understand that Essentials does not include everything that SBS did (Exchange, DC, DHCP, AD, DNS, SharePoint Companyweb, etc), so I'm guessing that I will need multiple servers.  I'm trying
    to figure out how to apportion and configure my overall system.
    I have seen posts that indicate a recommendation to set up 2012 Standard R2 on the 1st physical server with Essentials R2 on a virtual server.  And then using other virtual servers for other functions.  Why would I do that?  I don't understand
    all the advantages and disadvantages of how to set up the various functions.  Should I put Exchange server on a totally different physical machine, a server #2?
    My number 1 server is a HP Proliant DL160 with dual quad core, 24GB ram and hardware RAID.  What would you think would be best to install on that server and what would you put on another server?
    skb

    yeah...Windows Server 2012 Essentials no longer contains a built-in email service. However, it supports multiple email options that include Office 365, an on-premises server running Exchange
    Server, and third-party hosted email services. If use on-premises server running Exchange Server, we do support running Exchange Server on a second server.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/07/26/email-options-supported-by-windows-server-2012-essentials.aspx
    -->DC, DHCP, AD, DNS
    you can normally transfer those roles, services and configure.
    -->sharepoint
    general similar steps...http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg616007.aspx
    in theory, can host Exchange server and sharepoint on one same windows server in physical machine...

  • Problem while installing solaris 10 on HP proliant DL 380 G5.

    Hi,
    facing problem while installing solaris 10 05/09 on HP proliant DL 380G5. The array controller is E200.
    i have installed the raid controller driver CPQary3-2.1.0-solaris10-i386, it is going ahead but not detecting the whole hard disk space. My hard disk space is SAS 146GB. There are two 146GB hard disk present. It is showing only 978 MB & only one hard disk. So please help me out. my mail ID is [email protected]

    I have a similar issue trying to load Solaris 10u4 on an IBM x236.
    I had to put in a recognized SCSI card, attach an external array to the card, and install Solaris 10u4 on the array. Then I had to install the correct driver from OpenSolaris (an Adaptec one for IBM ServeRAID), and do a live upgrade onto the now-visible internal disks. Then I removed the array and cleaned up the traces from the live upgrade.
    You may have to do something similar.
    And last month the boot drive got corrupted when power was interrupted. "Oops. Wrong plugs..." This time the external array will stay connected.

    2. Can i Connect XP clients (with VB.6 applications) to OpenSolaris Server?Connect how? telnet, rlogin, ftp, X11, CIFS, NFS
    3. Can OpenSolaris Server support 1000-2000 clients?If the machine has enough resources, then I'm sure that it'll support it.
    4. what is the price of OpenSolaris Server for the above no of users?It's free.

    6. can i install OpenSolaris Server on HP Proliant DL380 X86 32bit ?The obvious thing to do is to download the OpenSolaris CD and try to boot it.

  • Solaris 10 x86 installation problem on ProLiant DL380..

    I'm trying to put Sol10 b72 on a dual-proc ProLiant DL380 here, with the Compaq 5i array controller.
    I have the Solaris 9 drivers from HP; they seem to work just fine for the installation.
    The problem comes at the end of the first disc.
    Sidebar:
    For one thing (and this drove me NUTS until I got lucky and caught it during a reboot), at the end of the install, on the console, it asks for the driver diskettes..again.
    The problem is, it doesn't say this ANYWHERE else, only on the console..and if you're doing the installation in the X desktop, you just never know it. It doesn't write this to the xconsole window. I tried installing a good 5-6 times before, instead of hitting the power button out of frustration after the install just hung again, I actually opened up a terminal and typed 'reboot'..and caught the "Please insert the diskette and press Enter" as it killed X. If anyone at Sun is reading this..you may want to fix this, before someone gets very frustrated that their installations never seem to finish...
    End Sidebar.
    So...I'm doing the console text install (otherwise you'll never see the message to insert the driver diskettes for the Broadcom NIC and the Compaq array), and sure enough, at the end of the install, it asks for the diskette. I pop in the diskette it's specifically asking for (the Compaq array diskette in this instance), and hit enter. It chugs for a second and then says it can't find the driver on the diskette.
    Which is incorrect, because if it haden't found it on the diskette during the device configuration assistant phase during bootup, it wouldn't have even been able to install Solaris.
    So..what's up? Anyone have any ideas why Solaris finds it one time but can't find it later? Is this a bug or problem in the installation script?
    Thanks,
    Greg

    problem 1 is that it's looking for ../../s0.. Which I
    managed to
    fake out by creating the dir in the same mount
    point.
    Problem 2 is that it can't find .tmp_proto, which I
    must
    concur with. I can't find that on any of the b72 cd
    images.
    So, the setup_install_server fails.This seems to be the problem when you try to setup an install
    server on a Solaris SPARC system for Solaris x86 clients, using
    the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10/Express CD media.
    There's a Solaris x86 UFS filesystem on slice 0 on the CD media,
    and it's supposed to be mounted on the "s0" mount point,
    otherwise setup_install_server won't work. On a Solaris x86 box,
    vold mounts it automatically for you: /cdrom/cdrom0/s2 is the
    mount point for the platform independant ISO9660 part of the CD
    media, /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 is the UFS root filesystem.
    Problem is that Solaris SPARC:
    - does not understand Solaris x86 disk labels
    - does not allow mounting x86 UFS filesystems
    (and vice versa).
    AFAIK, Solaris 9 DVD media does not have this problem. I
    guess the same will be true when Solaris 10 DVD media is
    available in a few months. On the DVD media there's enough
    free space to include an extra copy of the files in the ISO9660
    filesystem.

  • Problem booting Solaris 10 on ProLiant server after installation.

    Hi all!
    I have a brand new HP ProLiant DL360 G5 server. It contains 6 internal
    hard drives. RAID 5 is configured on these drives using built-in HP
    Smart Array P400i controller. I've just installed Solaris 10 8/07 on this
    server. Solaris requires a driver for P400i controller. I'm using Driver
    Update CD created from HP provided ISO image. Solaris 10 is
    officially supported OS for DL360 G5 server.
    Installation proceeds as expected:
    1) At the begining of Solaris installation, Driver Update is used to
    load HP driver for raid controller. During installation, disk is
    recognized as c1d0t0 (the only disk in system); one partition is
    created on this disk.
    2) Disk is devided to 6 slices:
    c1d0t0s0 - swap, 4GB
    c1d0t0s1 - /, cca 32GB
    c1d0t0s[3,4,5,6] - /zones/[a,b,c,d] - each cca 160GB
    3) At the end of installation, CPQary3 driver is installed to target
    system without any errors reported. No errors are reported during
    installation at all.
    After reboot, GRUB is started. It shows boot menu containing two
    options:
    - Solaris 'normal' boot
    - failsafe boot
    PROBLEM: Selecting 'normal' boot leads to immediate system restart.
    According to documentation, this case occurs when PCQary3
    driver is not installed.
    I'm able to boot using 'failsafe' option in grub. After entering single
    user, I load PCQary3 driver to runtime using 'install-du' command.
    I'm also able to find instaled Solaris using 'install-recovery' and mount
    its root volume to /a directory. Necessary driver IS installed inside
    /a/kernel/drv/ directory. Options 'bootpath' in /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
    file is set up correctly pointing to device associated with /dev/dsk/c1d0t0s1
    device. Also GRUB is able to recognize UFS filesystem for boot partition.
    I've already tried (without success):
    1) Use RAID 1+0 instead of RAID5
    2) Create only 3,5GB partition instead of 700GB large one.
    3) Place / on c1d0t0s0 instead of c1d0t0s1.
    4) Re-create boot archive using 'bootadm update-archive -R /a'
    So, everything seems to be installed correctly, but system cannot boot.
    Do you have any ideas how to fix this problem?
    Jozef

    Sounds like an issue I just had with a brand new X4150, installation and failsafe worked fine, but normal booting led to immediate reboot of the server. This was due to an incompatibility of solaris and intel's newest generation xeon chips.
    You can still boot 'normal' solaris in 32-bit mode:
    hit 'e' at the grub menu, 'e' again to edit the 'normal' boot entry and add 'kernel/unix' after multiboot. This should boot up solaris in 32-bit mode. From there, download and install the latest patch set (125370-06 and 127112-05 are fixing this issue). After that you should be fine.

  • Installation Problem: Solaris 8 on a HP ProLiant DL360G3

    When i try to install Solaris 8 02/02 on a ProLiant DL360G3 (3GHz, 2GB RAM, 18GB-SCSI) with a Broadcom NetExtreme Gigabit-NIC 5703 , the following error message appears when Solaris is trying to boot for the first time from cd:

    Maybe a driver problem?? I have tried all drivers i found (from HP or Broadcom�s Website), but it doesn�t solve the problem.

    Hold down the STOP key and also press the A key to get the Sparc 20 to come to the ok prompt. At the ok prompt type boot cdrom
    press enter and away you go. Solaris will 'at a later time' ask you if you want to format the drive.
    One Note: Sometimes the Sparc can be a pain to get to the ok prompt. Watch your keyboard lights ie: Num lock, Caps lock etc. right after they get tested and flash, press stop and A. Sometimes you have to hold down the stop and press the A key by itself. Hope this helps.

  • New to solaris what should I be downloading solaris 10 or opensolaris?

    well I have some experience with redhat but want to learn solaris as, well I really will never be able to get a linux/unix position if I only know one. hmm so I started looking around and got confused by the many versions now available of solaris. so after bout an hour is seems like...
    1) the solaris 10 os is released for free
    2) there are multiple solaris's based off this code but the one solaris is pushing is the opensolaris 2008.05.
    in my mind I figure that solaris loosely relates to redhat then and opensolaris loosely relates to fedora.
    so here are my questions.
    I see solaris is "free" but I can't figure out exactly what that means. I know for instance that me sitting at home at night learning will not be able to call or email sun for support (too bad that would be sweet). but once installed can I get applications, use the sun software installation system (whatever would be like yum to redhat) to get software, will it be from a repo sponsored by sun? also how would I update the system. for instance I see a new version of solairs will be out in late october. do I have to do a complete reinstall or can I just plop in a new cd and hit "upgrade" (or something of that nature). basically I guess I am saying what am I missing by getting solaris free without support. is it just tech support or is it updates and software.
    secondly, would opensolaris be a better option. the reason I am apprehensive is because based on some reviews I have read it is not supported by much hardware and is buggy. I really don't want to waist time downloading and installing this if regular old solaris 10 is the better option. thanks you much for helping a newbie out. I have a seconds pc waiting for this and remember it is basically so I can get up to speed so my solaris unix will be on par with my quite limited linux experience. thanks again...

    I see so>night learning will not be able to call or email sun for support (too bad that would be sweet). but once installed can I get applications, use the sun software installation system (whatever would be like yum to redhat) to get software, will it be from a repo sponsored by sun?Depends. With Solaris you can use the Solaris Companion CD to get a few of the more generic programs or you can use sites such as Blastwave, SunFreeWare, Package Archive etc... to add more software of you can always compile from source.
    OpenSolaris has a pkg install command which is analogous to yum and contains a lot more software then the Solaris Companion CD. If you hunt around you can get a list of all software that pkg install can install to your system.
    also how would I update the system. for instance I see a new version of solairs will be out in late october. do I have to do a complete reinstall or can I just plop in a new cd and hit "upgrade" (or something of that nature). basically I Plop in the DVD and hit "upgrade" or you can do fancy things like live upgrade if you plan in advance.
    guess I am saying what am I missing by getting solaris free without support. is it just tech support or is it updates and software. Patches that aren't labeled as critical or security, phone support, etc... are not part of "free" Solaris.
    secondly, would opensolaris be a better option. the reason I am apprehensive is because based on some reviews I have read it is not supported by much hardware and is buggy. There is a device detection tool that can be used for either OS so you can see in advance if your hardware is probably supported. OpenSolaris contains programs that are generally more current then those that are offered by Solaris.

  • Install Solaris10 on HP ProLiant ML370 G6, "No Disk" error

    Hello,
    I want to install Solaris10 on HP ProLiant ML370 G6 servers which are on the Hardware Compatible List( HCL). However, I always encounter "No disk" issue and installation fails. The disks are HP SAS disks.

    I am wondering what else I should do?

  • Nstalling Windows Home Server 2011 on a ProLiant ML350e Gen 8 Server (Nothing appearing in Operating System Selection During Install)

    We just purchased Windows Home Server software that required a new server to be purchased. We went with the ProLiant350e Gen8 Server. IUpon starting up the new ProLiant server I booted from CD-Rom and got to the Windows Install program. I clicked  "Install
    A New Server" However, as soon as this page loads it gives me an error that says "Load Driver" "A required CD/DVD Drive Device Driver is Missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now." It gives
    me the option to browse or click okay. Browse only brings up the (x:) Boot drive and VID. It doesn't find the driver in VID Than if I click okay it gives me a message that says "No Device Drivers were found. Make sure that the Installation media contains
    the correct drivers and then click ok" I have tried to use smart provisioning but this fails as it cannot recognise the media from the DVD drive.
    Thanks in advance,

    You should use HP smart start DVD to install the Windows Home Server. If you are booting directly from the Windows DVD it would some times not detect the drivers because of the hardware compatibility issue. You should contact the the vendor and seek help
    from him.
