Oracle 8.1.5 and Solaris v7 for Intel

Does anyone know if Oracle 8i (8.1.5) will work on Solaris v7
for Intel. Don't laugh...I know these are old versions but if
they will work I would like to know.

How can I use the "gcc compiler and emacs editor" in Solaris 8 for Intel?

I installed Solaris 8 for Intel to my desktop computer.
After the installation, I found I couldn't use the companion software (the software CD included in the Multilinugal Media Kit for Solaris 8) - especially the emacs editor and gcc compilers.
I certainly installed the companion software to my computer. And I can identify that those softwares are
really installed to my system. In order to check out whether I installed them or not, I went to the "System Administrator" and opened the "Solaris Product Registry", in which I identified that all the files in
the companion software were succesfully installed in my computer.
However, when I open terminal or console box and tries to use those
software, the system responds that "there is no emacs or gcc."
Why I cannot use those things?
Did I install the companion software wrong?
I really don't understand why I can't use them.
For your reference, I saw the directories "/usr/bin" and "usr/ccs/bin"
too.
In /usr/bin I typed
#as
and no such command.
In /usr/ccs/bin
#as
and also no such command
was what I had as a response.
If I installed the companion software CD correctly and if they are installed somewhere in my computer,
where I can find them and how I can use those softwares?
Lastly, whenever I try to connect to my ISP via telnet mode, I see this
message.
"Try to connect ...
connected to ***.***.***.*** (IP address of my ISP)
Closed by foreign hosts."
Is there any one who knows why this happens?
Thanks for reading my question.

gcc and emacs install in /opt/sfw. You should change your path statement to include /opt/sfw/bin and should obtain the FAQ from sunfreeware.com. The FAQ answers all your questions.
I have installed gcc and gtk and am using both at this time.

Fail to install solaris 8 for intel

hello. i downloaded three files and made a CD for each one. but during the installing on a Dell PowerEdge 6450
(4 x Pentium III 550)which has two AIC 7899 ultra160/m SCSI adapters and a Dell PERC RAID controller (i note they are not included in the hardware compatibility list of solaris 8 for
intel), the install process stopped when it was "I2O Nexus:
initializing IO processor 0" and didn't go any further. when i attempt to intall it on another machine(2 x PIII 1000) which has a AIC 7892 ultra160/m SCSI adapter, the process
stopped saying "no disks that meet the criteria in the solaris installer documentation found" after solaris web start began to run. before this, it has reported resource conflict of PNP0C01
and ISY0050. and the installing stopped when "using RPC bootparams for network configuration information" on a PIII 800 PC. what's wrong with my installing. is it due to the incompatibility of hardware or something else?how to resolve it if possible? help is in need very much.besides,what does
DCA mean?sorry, i'm a newbie in this field.
thanks
xoing

Hi,
Problem with PERC RAID controller card.
You try to install the driver for AIC 7899 and Dell PERC RAID controller card. In dell computers, they have dell PERC RAID controller driver for Solaris 7 version. They don't have the driver for solaris 8 version.
You can download driver for SCSI AIC 7899 from this URL:
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.html?cat=/Product/ASC-39160&filekey=u160_slrs_v121_dd.img.Z
Then you check with your local dell support provider for PERC RAID controller driver for solaris 7 and solaris 8.
Thanks.
revert back.
regards,

Solaris 8 for intel x86

Hi,
i want to download the solaris 8 for x86. can any body guide me to find the download link because i can able to find the solairs 8 download link on sun website.

Since Solaris 8 is now an officially discontinued product,
you might only be able to get it if you buy used media sets
on an online auction site such as Ebay.
Could you describe your hardware?
I remember using Solaris 8 on an x86 system.
For what it did, it was good.
However there was a very limited set of hardware that would function.
If I remember correctly, your concern should be as to:
What is your motherboard chipset?
What is your disk controller chipset?
What is your video card?
What network adapter are you planning to use?
What sound card do you own?
I had it on an Intel 440LX P-II.
Only the integrated IDE connectors were recognized.
I had an 8mb ATI Rage PCI card that let me see what I was doing.
Only about two or three specific NICs worked, such as 3C905TX or a DC21140.
My original real Soundblaster 16 (ISA slot) was able to give me the beeps and chirps necessary.
If you're hoping for most anything made in the last couple of years, then forget it.
(... and forget about USB peripherals other than USB 1.x devices like keyboard/mouse)

I can't Install 8.1.7 on solaris version for Intel platform

I have installed 8.0 Sun Solaris on Intel PIII with 393 MB RAM
and I am not able to install Oracle8i (8.1.7) on the system.
Can u please let me know as to how to install.
When I invoke the runInstaller (Shell Script), It is rising a
error stating "syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected".
Thanks.
Bye.

Where did u get your oracle817 version for intel solaris?
in cdrom top dir, the runInstaller is just a shell script, and
there is a binary program in install dir, try to run that
program and give out the result?

Oracle 8.1.6 and Solaris 2.6 Issues

Is anyone aware of any "major" issues/bugs with Oracle ver. 8.1.6 running on a Solaris Ver. 2.6 SPARC environment?
Our installations "mainly" use Oracle 8i DBMS Server, Parallel Server, Application Server, & WebDb. Most of the business applications that we have are Pro*C, JAVA, and PL/SQL. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Two of the bugs I know of are the following:
- DCD (Dead Connection Detection) does not work with Multi Threaded server. This means that when a client connection chrashes, its session on the database server is not cleaned up (bug 1394008).
- Instance crashes after 248 days. After an uptime of 248 days of the machine, the instance hangs because of a timer overflow. (bug 1227119) There is a patch for this problem.
There may be more issues, but these are the major issues I know of

Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 on Solaris 8 for Intel

I keep getting Oracle not found when I finish the installation process of Oracle...
What could be wrong. I got the Oracle CD from the Solaris 8 binary package from Sun
Please Help

Hi,
Check if the listener process has started or not.
Sometimes you will have to manually start the listener process.
Go to Oracle Home. Run lsnrctl from bin.
Now you may be able to connect.
Good Luck,

Sparc MO on Solaris 8 for intel

Is there any way possible to mount and read (readonly is fine) a scsi magneto optical drive that was written on a Sparc 5 for Solaris 8 loaded onto an intel *86 machine. i know there are issues with big and little endian and that there are ways to convert the big into little, but i have no access to a sparc machine to run the utiltity. Is there anything in Solaris (intel) that would be able to read the disk. As of now it can see the disk but thinks it is unformatted.
Thanks in advance.
James Yi

Unable to install Solaris 10 for intel on IDE hard disk?

I was trying to install solaris on an 80 GB IDE HDD with
AMD 32 bit ,XP2000 cpu, 1024 MB RAM using a DVD rom
drive with the first/second solaris os install CD.
BUT after 2nd CD , i got the message 'Short Read/Read Error'
after the GRUB boot loader screen.
Repeated after formatting disk using Red Hat linux (linux installed successfully on same disk/machine without problems) but even then
when i retried installing solaris 10, it failed with same error.
Same set of CDs installed successfully on intel xeon server with
1 GB RAM, 32 GB SCSI HDD.
Does solaris install on IDE hard disks on intel 32 bit PCs?
pl help/

Sometimes it's possible to use drivers for older Solaris x86 systems
to install the latest Solaris x86 release.
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/family/model/2543.html?submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us
To do that, you have to modify HP's ITU floppy. For Solaris 10 x86,
rename the DU/sol_2X directory on HP's floppy to DU/sol_210 .

Cannot install solaris 8 for intel

i boot a machine which has a AIC 7899 card using install CD,
then choose add driver using a floppy made by downloaded
ultra160 driver floppy image. the SCSI card and a hard drive
thus can be found and i make two partitions,about 1G and 5G
respectively, a swap space about 8G(my machine has 1G
RAM, 17G hard drive, PIII 1000MHz). it all seems ok. but after
it copys files to disk and prepare to reboot it reports "waning:
/temp: file system full, swap space limit exceed...............
warning:no swap space to grow stack......" then it returns to
command line and just stops there. if i reboot using init 6 the
machine cannot boot from the boot partition saying cannot find boot.bin. in addition, every time i create partitions and reboot, there will be another small active boot partition. besides, the sum of the space of two partitions and the swap space seems to be larger than the disk space. so, that's what i meet with. can someone give me a hand?
thanks
james

You should be using the partition utility that runs during the install. This is easiest. Make sure you have a large swap space. Usually swap space is about 2 time larger than total RAM. But in your case, you may not want it that large.
If you are using only solaris on the computer, then format the entire hard drive as a solaris drive.
Then you can split up the drive into partitions, and here is where you can decide swap disk space.
During the install, when it asks you:
say yes to all loyout file systems on disks
partition the disk in the following manner
(just a suggestion)
swap
/usr
/usr/local
/var
/opt
/tmp
/export/home (The rest of the HD)
Hope that helps,

Solaris 10 for Intel - boot from floppydisk

Does anybody has an idea wheter it is possible to boot solaris 10 from floppydisk for installing the OS.
We have systems that cannot boot from ethernet/cdrom but we would like to use/install solaris 10 on these systems.

It is possible to start the installation (boot from) a floppy disk, using
a "DCA" (device configuration assistant) floppy diskette.
A 1.44MB DCA floppy image can be found on CD 2/4 or the DVD, in
the subdirectory .../Solaris_10/Tools, file d1_image. Write it to a
blank floppy media using the Unix "dd" or the MSDOS "rawrite.exe"
utility.
After you start the boot process from the DCA floppy, you must
either use a CDROM / DVDROM device as the boot device for the
Solaris installation, or an NFS installation (server using a supported
NIC in the client; 3Com 3c905, Intel Pro/100, or Dec 21x4x do work).

How to Install Solaris for Intel so that it boots off from a boot floppy?

Hi all,
Sorry to bother you with this one (I went through all documentations/manuals and could not find straight answers to following
specific questions):
I have one hard drive with 1st partition used by Windows XP and a second partition that's a blank FAT 32 (using Partition Magic)
I want to use for Solaris for Intel.
My very specific questions:
(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted
partition? I am asking you that because all manuals (except one) pretend that I can run my Solaris install on a blank Fat partition...
but I believe that documentation at multiboot.solaris-x86.org stresses that if the partition is not a blank UFS one, it wont install Solaris
(2)As you already know, some Oses like Linux or FreeBSD can be installed on a partition and be booted off a boot floppy.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.
BTW, I currently have Solaris 7 for Intel.
Thanks for the answers.

(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted You can install Solaris to that blank FAT32 drive but Solaris WILL convert it to UFS BEFORE doing the install. In other words, after the install it will be UFS and not FAT32 anymore.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.Not that I know of. Some people have reported booting Solaris off of a USB drive though.
