Skipping system dump : no dump device configured

Hi all!
I am new to Solaris, please understand. I receive the following message "skipping system dump : no dump device configured" and my system reboots. After reboot, the system repeats the initial installation.
My IDE config:
Primary Master - disabled (power disco'd from 8.4GB with W98)
Primary Slave - enabled 3.8GB hdd, no format, no partition - this is the drive i want to install to
Secondary Master - none
Secondary Slave - CD drive that boots
I have checked the HCL, my system is compatible.
I have used the installer cd & disk 1 to no avail.
Do I need to format my hdd that i want to install solaris on before i run the installer?
if so, how?
I have tried to create a boot disk but it failed. DD.EXE - does it need to need to be executed in a true DOS mode?
any help would be greatly appreciated, i will monitor this thread.
thanks!

I was having the same proplem as u but now Im just a few steps infront.
I found a sorta fix by searching this forum. It got me past the initial system reboots anyway. I've only installed one cd so far and now Im back cause of more problems - so don't expect it to get any easier ;)
Anyway check out this link. It goes on about P4s but apparently other systems are affected too e.g. I have a PII.

  • X86 install - No Dump Device Configured

    Hi
    I tried to install Solaris 8 (x86) on my PII-300 machine with 192MB. However, when I install the Solaris 8, I don't even have a chance to create partition or whatsoever, I got an error sth like "No dump device configured" and it reboots automatically and the whole installation process starts over again after it successfully detected my hardware. Does anybody know what happen? I put my harddisk on primary master IDE with my CD-ROM drive on secondary master IDE.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thx.

    you need a swap partition on this machine.

  • I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

    I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
    Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
    For example:
    Buy A, B, C to achieve "X" 
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add D to achieve "Y"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add "E" to achieve "Z"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme.  For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice?  Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that?  And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why?  Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel  or sit on the couch in my PJs?
    If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
    I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy. 
    A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

    I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
    No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
    Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
    What business software?
    Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
    Update what across all devices?
    For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
    I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
    Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
    Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
    The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
    Best of luck.

    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, and it's not already backed up, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is not fully functional. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • Getting Error while creating device configuration (Schema Node ref problem)

    Hi,
    In MDM 2.0.1, I created the following(in order) :

    2.Measuring Component Type
    3.Device Configuration Type
    4.Service Provider

    But when trying to Configure the created Device, its showing some error as...
    Schema node isNewCase (/schema/[includeDA F1-CommonToDoEntryData]/isNewCase) references non-existent service field NEW_CASE_SW.
    After this has happened, i couldn't even add another configuration to some of my Existing Devices..
    (But for Some existing devices, adding a new configuration doesn't throwing errors..)
    Please help regarding this...

    Is the Measuring Component Type u created is added in DeviceType's ConfigType list..?

  • Use of device configurations - update version of mobile component

    Hello,
    We changed coded some changes in standard XMAM30. The name of this mobile component is XMAM30_LAPTOP_SR3 (type is application) with version 3.0003.
    This was added to a device configuration DC_MAM and assigned to a hierarchy. The users synced and got everything on their device.
    Now we want to give them version 3.0004 of XMAM30_LAPTOP_SR3 (which we packaged). When I want to remove version 3.0003 from DC_MAM and add version 3.0004 (also type application) it tells me that the device configuration cannot be changed anymore because of the installation sequence
    The only solution I found was to copy DC_MAM to DC_MAM_1, update DC_MAM1 with version 3.0004, the remove DC_MAM from the hierarchy and add DC_MAM1.
    Is this the way to go???
    kind regards,
    jeroen

    Hello,
    I create a device configuration and add mobile components to which I assign a sequence.
    I assign this device configuration to the hierarchy and the users then synchronize.
    Then I followed your suggestion and deassigned the device configuration from the hierarchy.  I cannot imagine that I have to search in device maintenance where the device configuration is used and delete it for every individual device...
    Kind regards,

  • Solaris 10 on Sun Ultra 40 --PCI system error on /bus/device/function 0048h

    Everytime I boot to Solaris 10 (08/07) I get the following message at the top of my screen:
    PCI system error on /bus/device/function 0048h
    The system boots up successfully, but I find this error to be particularly annoying. I have no third-party cards plugged into any PCI slot.
    Why am I getting this error. Is the BIOS just giving me a bogus error?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Robert

    Hello,
    I even got the same Problem with an Ultra 40. After powering off and on the system during the last 3 days, now i got an error mesage, "CPU3 can not be started"
    cleared the CMOS and now i am back on "PCI System Error on Bus/Device/Function 0048h" the system is running with the latest 1.7 Bios update.
    First of all I tried to flash the system back to an lower version but the flashsoftware seems not to support this operation have to make own boot media with the flashprogramme and flash by forced the 1.0 or 1.2 version.

  • Which runtime systems do i need to configure in CMS

    Hi,
    We have development,Test,Production systems in the system landscape.
    So What runtime systems do i need to configure in CMS
    I am assuming it should be
    Development-Development
    Consolidation-Test
    Test-?
    Production-Production
    Which runtime system do i need to configure for test system in my landscape(is it consolidation or test).what exactly is the role of consolidation runtime system.is it mandatory to configure that runtime system
    Points will be rewarded for the helpful answer

    HI Bala,
    configure system as
    Development-Development
    Consolidation- if you dont have server then dont configure it.
    Test-Test
    Production-Production
    NWDI upto consolidation is driven by activities. and assembly to production is driven by SCA. i.e complete software packaging
    as Test server means where you can test your complete application.That means you need to deploy whole application  as a sca file.
    and in NWDI sca file is generated after assembly.
    consolidation is only for verifying you changes before packaging you application. it can't be a test server.

  • Create button in Device Configuration

    Hi ALL
    We are not getting the Create, Delete, Copy button in Device Configurations in Mobile Administrator web Console.
    Any idea how to get the missing buttons?
    Regards
    Manish

    Hello Manish,
    Are you using SAP MI Web console, if so, then with device configurations you can configure mobile devices without being able to access them directly.
    1.Start transaction DEVICE_CONFIG.
    2.Enter a name for the new device configuration and choose Create.
    Note : Device configurations should not have the same name as a mobile component.
    3.On the Monitoring Functions tab, enter the required monitoring configurations.
    4. On the Assignments tab, enter the role you want to assign to the device configuration and thus to the monitoring functions.
    If you want to assign the device templates to individual devices or users instead, you can do so in the SAP MI Web Console. In this case, please refer to below help link -
    http://help.sap.com/SAPhelp_nw04/helpdata/en/83/36de50f796484bb8d9d8a4db850ac7/frameset.htm

  • Error in Device configuration

    Hi all
    I get the following error when trying to add the mobile components to the created Device Configuration.
    com.sap.ip.mi.admin.core.ApplicationException:Field SEQUENCE_NO not a member of MEMGMT_APPLICATIONS_STR
    Had any one had this kind of problem. Please advice
    Thanks, Raj

    First of all check whether your JCo RFC provider service is configured in your J2EE engine. This you can check by going to Visual Admin. In your server, got to usr\sap\<instancename>\DVEBMGS00\j2ee\admin and double click go.bat. Then login as J2EE_admin. Go to services in the cluster tab ->JCo RFC Provider and see whether your ABAP stack is configured.
    1.If it is not, then login to NWA through your browser as J2ee admin, go to Administration->Deploy and Change-> Select MI Scenario and then select option 02 from the Template drop down list box, click on "Execute Template" Give the necessary details in the different text boxes and click install. Do the same for option 03 and 04.
    2.If your Jco RFC Provider service is already configured/or you did the above step, log into your ABAP client through SAP Logon with the User which has all sap privileges - dont use ddic or SAP*. Then goto transaction SE11 click on DATA type, type MEMGMT_APPLICATIONS_STR and click Display. Check for the field SEQUENCE_NO. If it is not there, then click on Display/Change. Here you may require an access key - ask your Basis Administrator/Consultant for the same. Add the particular field to the structure and probably....your problem will be solved.
    Edit: The type of the field is :
    Component Type: NUM6
    Datatype : NUMC
    Length: 6
    Short Text: Numerical Character Field of Length 6

  • List of systems that can / cannot be configured to accept SAP SSO

    Hi All,
    this may sound like a strange request, but I'm in search of a list that shows examples of common systems that cannot(!) be configured to use SAP SSO tickets.
    The reason is that we are evaluating various SSO infrastructures for a client. IBM WebSeal is already in use there but connecting new systems is expensive. We are trying to avoid problems that may arise in the future should we decide for SAP-SSO only.
    Thanks a lot,
    Jens

    Hi Jens,
    as far as I know there is no such list. However, I will share a thought or two on the topic. Basically, he SAP Logon Ticket is a HTTP cookie. The backend system has to able to receive and understand the ticket issued by the portal. By default most SAP systems are able to receive and accept SAP Logon Tickets. No suprise here. Most non-SAP systems do not process the SAP Logon Ticket by default. But there are ways to "upgrade" non-SAP systems to receive and accept the SAP Logon Ticket (see SAP Library section <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/12/9f244183bb8639e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Single Sign-On to Non-SAP Systems and Applications</a>. In most cases you need to modify the native authentication process. You surely won't be able to do this for every single application.
    Also keep in mind that the SAP Logon Ticket requires that the user ids of the issuing system are the same as in the receiving system. Or at least the user must have the same user id in all receiving systems.
    Best regards,
    Martin
