Problem encountered installing new disk on Solaris VMware

Hi Guys,
I'm trying my first attempt to create a new disk on solaris 10 filesystem but having a few issues mounting disk. i've been following instructions on google searches but now am stuck and really some expert advice.
Details:
Host OS: Windows Vista
Gues OS: Solaris 10 64x UFS filesystem
VMware Workstation: Ver 6:00
Steps undertook:
1) Shut down the VM; Edit the VMware configuration: Select Virtual Machines -> Settings; Added new hard disk device of 20GB (SCSI:0:0)
2) Booted Solaris VM
3)

  • Problems with installing new programs

    Dear all,
    since the update to OS X Yosemite, I have some problems with installing new programs.
    I tried to install the Fitbit App to connect my Fitbit to my Mac but the program can't be started after installation. I have the same problem with Blackberry Blend, too. I am able to install it but it doesn't start running.
    Does anybody have an idea what's the problem?
    Thank You,
    Lisa.

    Did you receive any errors during the installation itself or does this happen when you try to open Photoshop?

  • Problem with installing new line card 7600-SSC-400

    Hi all,
    I have a trouble when trying to install new line card 7600-SSC-400 on Cisco 6509. Here was the message displays on the screen after I finished installing the line card : "%C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 7, power not allowed: The image for the card is not bundled in image." I tried to install this line card on another slot, but it doesn't work. The attched item is logfile which I saved in the installing session. I don't know what I hvae to do now, please help me to resolve this problem !
    Thanks so much,
    Hieu

    Hi Hieu,
    You might want to run the following to see more detail of the error:
    show diagnostic result module all detail
    And I would also suggest that you reseat the 7600-SSC-400 line card firmly back to the switch, and check the status again.
    If it's still showing the error, maybe you can try seating the module on a different slot, and check if you have the same issue.
    If the issue still persist after reseating and testing it on different slot, then it might be a hardware issue, and you might want to open a TAC case to further investigate it.
    Hope that helps.

  • Exchange 2007 - Outlook Anywhere problems after installing new SSL cert

    *** Original thread posted on wrong forum ***
    Hi all,
    Exchange 2007 environment (2x CAS, ISA2006). Not much familiar with Exchange.
    Problem: 20-odd machines off the domain use Outlook Anywhere (XP with Outlook 2010). AUthentication pop-up and not able to connect.
    Company has recently changed its name and we have to renewed the SSL cert. Previous SSL cert. was issued to: webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (several SANs on that cert., including internal server names).
    Applied for a new UCC SSL cert issued to: newcompanyname.com (also includes webmail.newcompanyname.com ; autodiscover.newcompanyname.com + old SANs).
    The setting on those machines point the proxy to the following:
    Https://webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (which is fine since it is in the cert and can be accessed)
    Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their cert.: 
    msstd:webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (I believe this is the problem since the new UCC SSL cert. was issued to newcompanyname.com).
    Browsing technet + internet it seems that I need to look into OutlookProvider EXPR.
    When I run Get-OutlookProvider everything is blank (I believe I should be concerned to EXPR only for Outlook Anywhere).
    I am thinking of running: Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:newcomanyname.com
    My only concern is whether this might break something else in the Exchange environment, especially as we have 100+ users on smartphones connecting via SSL on webmail.oldcompname.co.uk
    Is it save to run this command? Do I need to re-start IIS? Do I need to look into any settings on ISA2006?
    Comments/help are much appreciated.
    Regards 

    Hi,
    According to the description, I found that we re-new a SSL certificate.
    "I am thinking of running: Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:newcomanyname.com"
    Just do it. Then remove the old certificate on ISA server and install a new one.
    Found a similar thread for your reference:

  • Problems with Installing New Harddrive on SL510

    Could really use some help trying to diagnose the problem and a best way to try to resolve:
    I have a Thinkpad SL510 that was beginning to have blue screen issues and diagnostics indicated HD needed replacement. Purchased a 500GB SATA HD to replace my old one. Was not able to create a system image (kept getting an error that prevented this), so I did create recovery & boot discs from Lenovo Recovery. Since installation and running recovery/boot discs, I'm having several problems:
    - I cannot run windows update. Keep getting this message: "windows updates cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
    - I'm also unable to connect to the Quickbooks Server to download updates from them as well.
    - Two errors on Device Manager: (1) Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (fixed this), and (2) SM bios service (cannot fix). Each of these indicated "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
    - Cannot run troubleshooting. Keep getting this error message "0x8E5E0247"
    Could really use some help to identify what is making this happen and what might remedy the problem.
    THANKS!

    Hello and welcome,
    The windows update problem likely comes from installing an advanced format HDD.  (That's about all you can get these days).
    It's fixable.  Some suggestions and links in this thread:  http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T61-and-prior-T-series-ThinkPad/Problems-after-installing-Windows-7-Prof...

  • How to add a new disk under solaris.

    Hi there,
    One of our sun blade 100 is unbootable due to the bad harddisk and what are the EXACT procedures to replace the new disk? I had some impression we need go through /reconfigure etc but I really not clear the exact procedure. Is this very complicated?
    Thanks

    If you are just replacing the disk, the new disk should come in with the same disk ID as the original disk - assuming the disk is internal that is. External disks could show up with a new disk ID depending on how you do it.
    You simply need to come up with a restore process.

  • Problem when installing new themes in my NOKIA N73

    I instal new themes in the memory card of my N73, after time i formated the memory card without (sans in french) deinstaling the thems from the phone, .. they dont appears in my liste of theme.. when i want to reinstal them, the installation dont finished and i have a error message "INSTALATION IMPOSSIBLE!" and in MENU->TOOLS->APPLICATION MANAGER in the journal the themes appears that they are installed, so help me please. () i know that my english is very poor but ......

    Here we go again, using the search will have helped but here is how to re-install themes that have already been installed and deleted and can't be installed again or themes that are not showing after being installed.
    THIS ONLY WORKS IF INSTALLING ON THE MEMORY CARD
    A ) Download Unsis for 3rd Edition HERE
    http://www.pietropaschino.com/Varie/Tutorials/UNSIS/UnSIS_v2.5.zip
    B ) You'll need the usb cable for connecting phone to pc
    1. Install unsis to your PC and open it
    2. choose "Open SIS" on bottom left
    3. choose the theme you want to reinstall
    4. click on "Extract"
    5. after a few seconds (sometimes more ) it'll be "Completed"
    6. you can now close the program
    7. go into the PC installation folder (usually C:/Unsis)
    8. there should be a folder called "Temp"
    9. inside you should find "private"-> "10207114"-> "import"-> "some folders (just one ifyou extracted just one theme) with different names (numbers and letters in most cases)"
    10. go inside the folders and search for the one of the theme you are interested in, there'll be 4 files:
    a ) NameOfTheFolder.ini
    b ) NameOfTheTheme.mbm
    c ) NameOfTheTheme.mif
    d ) NameOfTheTheme.skn
    11. ok? now, leave this folder open and connect phone to pc using the usb cable
    12. choose "Mass storage" option. Note: you can also insert memory card into a memory card reader
    13. in your phone, find the folder called "private" . If you don't see it, you need to choose the visualization of hidden files and folders
    14. in the "private" folder, find "10207114" folder and then "import" folder
    15. in "import" there are your themes, here you should find the themes you installed into the memory card
    16. don't close this folder but come back to the folder where you extracted the theme with unsis
    17. just click "back" so you can see your folder selected into the "import" folder
    18. choose all the folder and select "copy"
    19. go back to the "import" folder in the phone's memory card
    20. right click and "paste" into the "import" folder
    21. here we are, now your theme is again in the memory card

  • Problems with installing new hard drive using time machine

    Hi,
    I have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 15" Macbook Pro (unibody) with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and a 250 GB Sata HD running OS 10.6.7.
    It works like a dream.
    However, i bought a new 1 TB HD (WD Scorpio Blue) since a) 250 GB is not enough for me right now b) warranty has expired, so new risk there and c) i read that installing it would be very easy.
    I'll try so explain what i did, see if anyone finds what could be wrong...
    I had some minor problem in the beginning (i didn't use the install disk of the macbook pro at first, because it was at the office, so i used the install disk of my old Alu iMac), but using the right disk, i opened "Restore Disk from Backup", selected the Time Machine disk, and waited for the target drive to appear. It didn't...
    Finally i figured, maybe he doesn't find it because it hasn't been formatted yet (although it says on the HD that the Scorpio Blue is ready to use as is). So i openen disk utility from the utility folder and formatted the disk as "OS Journaled". As expected (?) the disk appeared as a target Restore Disk. I selected it and "restore" started. It took some hours and finally i receive a message: restore complete (or something like that). But then... after the restart i say the apple logo (as always) followed by the 'i don't know how you call it'-screen: a grey screen coming down like a curtain that says something like: you have to hold down the power button and then press it again tot restart (in a dozen or so languages including mandarin or japanese...). Off course i tried to restart several times, always with the same result.
    I switched back to my old drive and it still works like a dream ;-)
    So now i'm typing this message, can someone point out to me what could be the problem?
    Some more information/possible causes:
    - i run snow leopard, but the install disk is leopard. Maybe i should have used the install disk of the Snow Leopard i bought?
    - the time machine backup backs up EVERYTHING including an external firewire disk (on the same disk). Maybe that could be a problem? I don't know if the backup disk will restore the content of my external disk to my new internal HD or not...
    Thanks for helping me out...
    Best regards,
    Tom

    Hold on... it seems like i missed the obvious answer: using snow leopard to re-install a snow leopard back up. I'll try that one first and if it doesn't work i'll come back to this discussion...

  • Relinking problem while installing oracle 9i on solaris 9

    Hello,
    i have big problems installing oracle9i on solaris 9. machine is a sunblade100 64 bit sparc architecture.
    installation went fine until compiling / relinking the binaries. i ignored the messages because i wanted to compile binaries later with the "relink" command.
    After exectuting the command i encountered following message:
    /export/home/oracle9/OraHome1/bin/genclntsh
    ld: fatal: dlopen() of support library (libmakestate.so.1) failed with error: ld.so.1: /usr/ccs/bin/sparcv9/ld: fatal: libmakestate.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
    my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
    /export/home/oracle9/OraHome1/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/sadm/lib
    my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 is
    /usr/lib/64
    the file libmakestate.so.1 exists in /usr/bin.
    its 32bit, might that be a problem ?
    well, i also installed the packages
    SUNWbtool, SUNWlibm, SUNWarc, SUNWhea and SUNWsprot, which are necessary for compiling (see installation handbook)
    did you have the same problems? is it only a system path problem?
    please help,
    thanks in advance,
    yours frank

    Hi,
    Yes, You Need the 64-bit version of the libmakestate.so.1 library. This library should exist in the /usr/lib/sparcv9 directory. you Have to installed required Solaris package for this file. The package name is: SUNWsprox Sun WorkShop Bundled 64-bit make library You can check for this package by running the following command: % pkginfo -i SUNWsprox If it is not installed, install it and retry the relink.
    Hope this ll help you.

  • Problems with installing new update 10.4.0.80

    Hello all.  Running Windows Vista. I have recently updated my itunes to 10.4.0.80 - no problems .  I have now updated itunes on my husband's computer.  It downloads without a problem, and gets really near to the end of the "green progress bar" whilst installing, and then I get a message saying "errors encountered - go to tools, download and install manually".  I have checked everything I can think of - cookies cleared, disc clean-up, defrag - you name it I have done it!  I have the latest update of safari, quick time is showing as the latest version, so I really cannot understand what the problem is   Please, can anybody throw any light on this for me.  I am beginning to think that I should perhaps backup all the music to disc and then uninstall and then reinstall , but this is going to be quite a job, so I don't want to start this if somebody has got a better idea.  All suggestions will be very gratefully received.  Many thanks.

    What an absolute mess this upgrade is! I have just spent ages reading all the postings regarding the failings of this new version. I have also realised that this is probably why my daughter's iphone will not now update.  I think I am just going to leave well alone and wait for apple to sort themselves out.  Could I just ask one more question please, I have an external hard drive which I have used to back up photos etc. When I tried to backup itunes it seemed just to save a shortcut to who knows where which would not actually open. I have checked on itunes and under library, I have an option to export library - is this what I need to do to save it to the external hard drive?  I am not very good with computers so I am really nervous about doing this. Are you also saying that although I have not knowingly backed up itunes in the past, that all music in my library is stored somewhere on my computer and if I do uninstall and reinstall itunes, that information will automatically be added once I reinstall?

  • Problem with PSE6  - new disk - new PC

    hello all,
    after installing PSE6 new, I see all the old pics twice. What I want is to install PSE6 new but the deinstallation process didn't delete all files from PSE 6.
    I will install from scratch and than import all pictures new.
    Who can help me?
    My OS is Vista

    Un-installing and re-installing never solves catalog/photo issues. Re-importing is rarely ever a good solution.
    You did have the catalog file from the old computer. You said "I copied a whole disk from my old PC to an external disk. I connected this external disk to my new PC. I installed PSE6 on my new PC and I got the first problem: I saw only the thumbs and PSE6 wasn't able to find the jpg's".
    The only way this can happen is if you have the catalog file from the old computer.
    Now, if you still have the files on this external disk (and they haven't changed), the catalog file is on there.
    If you can find that file on your external disk (My Catalog.psedb is the default name, it might be something else *.psedb) then you want to use that file. Double-click on it. If it has a single image of each of your photos, but it can't find the photos, stop there, let us know, and we will inform you how to make it find the photos. Do not re-import (yet). Do not uninstall then re-install.

  • HDD problem after installing new SSD

    i bought a Kingstone SSD 60GB, and procced to a clean installation in my HP DV7-1020us laptop wich i love. All nice and good... i got out the HDD, install SSD in previously used HDD slot, install windows 7 on SSD partition, put the HDD in second hard drive bay that was it.
    The problem is... after couples shuts down of my laptop (still working good), one time when i started, my laptop spent like 10-15 mins trying to start up the windows , ( i could hear my old HDD working hard) and after that i wanted to reach my HDD but i couldnt... i double click on the partition i want to open and my HDD starts working hard hard and in the end it says that i need to format it so i can acces it.  My hdd haves 3 partitions... i runned disk checks and repairs and still doing the same. I finally formated all of it... all of my HDD partitions including the Recovery partition. My HDD works fine until i shut down my laptop for the first time after formating, then another 10-15 mins to start up and shut down the windows. Also if i connect my hdd via USB everything is fine ( if i previously format the HDD and connect it via USB).  But if i move it back into my laptop in my sata slot things goes bad again. Also if i wait 10 mins at start up, get the hdd out and connect it via usb it still runs very ver very slow, and one partition asks me for formating. So i'm thinking that my second sata slot connection does something bad to my hdd. 
    I'm thinking that my second sata slot haves some problems... what should i do? I dont like my HDD working on my USB, it's a laptop, everything has to be integrated.
    Oh and if i move my ssd from first sata slot to my second one, it says  "please insert bootable device...."
    Thank you, if u need more information please ask me

    I grasp you have installed a SSD drive as the main drive and the original drive as a secondary. All works well until you reboot and then it is unable to locate the SSD.
    Here is a link to HP Notebook Hard Drives & Solid State Drives Identifying, Preventing, Diagnosing and Recovering from...
    If that has not helped, I suggest you go out to the bios and restore the defaults.  This will reset the system and make it scan for  installed hardware.  This should help it to find the new SSD as the boot drive.
    Here are two more documents that may be of help.

    Hope this helps and have a great weekend.

  • Problems after installing new memory stick

    The problem that I have is this:
    I have an iMac PPC G5 2.1 GHz 20" w/ built-in iSight which was purchased in April 2006. Last week I purchased a certified 1 GB stick of RAM from OWC. I installed the RAM per the instructions given in the owner's manual. I restarted my computer and the RAM was not recognized in "About This Mac", nor was it listed in the Apple System Profiler. I thought that maybe I hadn't seated the RAM properly, so I removed the stick and repeated the installation process. I called and spoke to a tech at OWC who walked me through resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. This was not successful in forcing the RAM to be recognized. I have returned the RAM to OWC and am expecting a replacement from them within the next week or two.
    (As a side note, after each repeat of the process, the computer would not shutdown as quickly as it had been since I purchased it. I waited for one minute and then forced a shutdown via hoding the power button in. I made two attempts at a clean install of the OS. Both times there was an error at the very beginning of the install process that would not allow it to continue and required a restart). I am highly concerned about the shutdown issue and the inability to re-install the OS.
    Has anybody had or heard of an issue like the one that I have just decribed?
    iMac G5 20" iSight   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   w/ Bluetooth keyboard & mouse

    I completed the Disk Warrior rebuild but it did not solve my problem. It has even added a new problem. Now the "Starting Mac OS X..." progress bar that runs prior to the appearance of the desktop image is still on my screen after the desktop image is loaded. It is starting to look like I need a fresh install of the OS, but I can't do that either. Somebody please help!!! I am glad that I bought the AppleCare protection.
    I am going to give the "fsck" thing a try before I give up.
