Solaris 10 05/08 upgrade from 06/06 = blue screen

Hi Guys,
I did a fresh installation of Solaris 10 06/06 (x86) on a HP ML570 G3 box. Everything worked 100% except that I had to add the Compaq Smart Array 3200 driver during setup. I then downloaded the 05/08 x86 patches and started the patching in Single User Mode. After a few patches it asked for a reboot and I did an INIT 6 and then INIT 1 and started the patching process again. After quite a while at about 230+ of 433 patches it gave an error and I did an INIT 6. Now it stops at a blue screen thats all garbled(Language Options) with and option of F2 for Continue and F6 for Help. When I press F2 the options changes and the nothing further happens.
Any ideas on how to correct this?
Regards
J

The minimum supported version for a 5120 is Solaris 10 8/07.
And they wouldnt say that without a good reason.
Its pretty silly of a software vendor to specify a particular version of Solaris 10.
Unless they mean that version or later.
I mean suppose its certifed for Solaris 10 8/06 and you start with that.
Then you run smpatch and apply all available patches.
What you end up with is virtually indistinguishable from Solaris 10 5/08 anyway.
So unless, they certify a specific version and also specify the set of patches you are allowed to apply.
Then the restriction is virtually meaningless.
Personally I suggest you just go with Solaris 5/08 and be done with it.
As far as I know, theres no way for you to use the "earlier" version without buying new hardware.
The closest you could come is to run it on a solaris 9 zone.

Waking up from sleep with blue screen

Waking up from sleep with blue screen
Since a few days my MBP wakes up from sleep by showing a blue screen for 30 seconds or more, instead of jumping to the login window (password needed after sleep)
I looked in the forums for blue screen but found many problems non related to this.
Any ideas?
Could it have to do with the fact that about 4 days ago I upgraded to 4.8 from 4.7?

Yoga 2 Pro issues: display flashing, no recovery from power saving, blue screens

I believe I've narrowed down a problem with the machine not coming out of sleep mode, and maybe blue screening. There is a new version of virtualbox that I've installed and it is suppose to help.
Issues still present
1) I have found the screen to become corrupted where it flashes on and off. I end up doing a hard reboot to fix the issue temporarily.
2) Sometimes (when virtualbox isn't running), the display goes into powersaving mode and doesn't recover. I had this issue with Linux installed (kubuntu 13.10) as well as with windows 8.1.
3) Rare screen corruption where the display jumps for a split second and then goes back to normal. This is very rare. It may happen 3-4 times a day but I use this system for development so this is scary and unacceptable.
Any input would be appreciated!
How I reinstalled Windows 8.1:
Installed windows 8 from UEFI media (with an old/supported wifi USB), updated, installed 8.1 upgrade, then installed drivers
Drivers installed:
bt, dptf, tp, emw
The default Windows 8.1 drivers included the full intel driver set. I've considered upgrading, but these issues were present before I reinstalled Windows 8.1 w/ UEFI media and I had the full driver set from the lenovo website installed at the time.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I spoke with support for quite a while today.
It is not sleep mode that is causing the machine to become unresponsive. If you disable "turn the display off after", then it will go to sleep like normal. If you have "turn the display off" enabled, it crashes and neither goes to sleep, nor allows the display to turn back on.
If I close the lid it goes to sleep, and opening the lid wakes the machine up again.
I installed the chipset driver from the support website, rebooted, and reenabled screen blanking in power settings.
I have been unable to get the machine not to wake after screen blanking and sleeping. I set it to 1m blank and 2m sleep and it goes blank and recovers if I hit a key. If you let it go 2m, it sleeps and recovers as intended. I'm very releaved as I did NOT want to return this.
The power management issue seems to be resolved by reinstalling the chipset driver from the website.
I'm going to see if I still have the display flashing issues anymore. Perhaps it is solved as well!!
Thanks Lenovo!
EDIT: I spoke too soon!! It just did it again.

Upgrade 10.5.4, blue screen, tried Support suggestions - Now Stuck

I have a G5 (dual 1.8) and attempted the upgrade to 10.5.4. There wasn't enough room on my primary hd, so I pointed the install to a second installed identical drive. I got the blue screen after install. I searched support and found: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1545
I tried A (fire wire to laptop) and couldn't find the file. I made the mistake of ejecting the OSX disk when it appeared in the Finder window (out of habit). Still the blue screen. I then tried C and all commands seemed to work. Still blue screen. I now want to try B (Archive Install), but the OSX disk is no longer in the optical drive. I don't know how to get it in and I don't know how to interrupt startup without it there. I'm a bit of a novice here, so I hope I didn't miss something obvious late at night. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

This might work. There's a little hole underneath your optical drive on the front. Hard to see. Insert a straightened paper clip into the hole and the cd/dvd tray should pop out a little bit. Grab the end of the tray and pull it out fully. Now put in your disk and when you start up the tray will close and you'll have the disk in the machine to start up from when you press and hold down "C". Might want to perform a Disk Utility check first when it starts up from the disk and then archive and install.
Good luck

Upgrading from DVD to blu ray reader

Hi,
i am thinking of upgrading my DVD drive to a BLU ray drive the model number is hp pavilion 6121tx please suggest blu ra reader for my system or better if it would be a blu ray reader/writer .
thank you

Here are some readers/writers from e-bay that will work, make sure they are SATA interface.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=laptop+blu-ray+players&_sacat=0&_odkw=laptop+blu-ray+readers&_os...
They are all standard sizes, however some of the new ones are extra slim, make sure and measure you old one to compare. The seller will have this information.
The face plate and rear mount are reused on the new drive.
Some Blu-ray playing software, free for HP owners.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.exe
Save the file to the desk top and install it from there, not from a temporary folder. Disable your antivirus and firewall when installing and restart after the installation. Load the Blu-ray automatically with out opening the software.
I would suggest that you get an external Blu-ray writer, the laptop ones are not that great, the readers are OK though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21PmIDbz_go
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piMuG5pFkPI
There is also one available from HP and it will have the correct face plate and mount on it. The part number is, 641824-001.
This was taken from your service guide on page 32
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252.pdf
Enter the part number here.
http://h20141.www2.hp.com/Hpparts/Default.aspx?mscssid=4D04AEA9A4AD4BBB8D286A3FB5EB24E3
It's expensive and it's only a reader.

Upgrade from Solaris 8 (5.8) to 5.10 fails

Hi everyone...
Here is a curly one for the Sun gurus.
I attempted to perform the upgrade from Sol 8 (Dec/02) to Sol 10 (from the CD/DVD Jan/06) and got all the way past the "Test Upgrade Profile". The initialize started after I clicked onto the gui "Install Now" button. However, it fails after an hour or so - each an every time.
We have the 4.2.1 DiskSuite defined on a 3310 disk array and well as the 2 system disks - which are striped and mirrored. I can not do a Live Upgrade as I don't have a spare disk, so Sun Support in India suggested I do the upgrade in place...but is crashs attempting to copy files from the CD to the Server, as well as , so other strange error messages?
The first attempt was to leave vfstab untouched, the 2nd was to comment out the disk array (D30, D31, & D32) devices. But both fail. The install logs will be uploaded.

Now initially I had to add a number of packages/patches via the note 72099 that was displayed at the very beginning of the Sol 10 upgrade. Also, do and check the necessary bits via document 16141-1.
But the upgrade just fails. I would like to keep the disk array and its data intact for the upgrade as it has Oracle 11i Apps databases and its a bit of work redefining the metastat and loading Oracle, and the other bits it needs, as well as Netbackup etc.
So, are there are any bright sparks out there that can help?
Please email me.

Solaris 10 upgrade from U3 to U8

Hi Gurus,
I need to upgrade solaris 10 from U3 to U8, we tried a unsuccessful failure
after creating a boot environment when we tried to upgrade from DVD 10/09
with command
luupgrade -u BE -s /cdrom
it complaint about a one file in some path (not sure the exact file name)
/cdrom/SOLARIS_10/TOOLS/BOOT/PLATFORM/SUN4U
has anyone see this error before and
when we tried to upgrade from DVD directly with command
ok>boot cdrom -upgrade
it never asked me if i want to upgrade and do a fresh installation it just installed fresh OS.
any help is much apprecited.
BR,
Kapil+

With latest version of live upgrade you need to add -k <sysidcfg file> to upgrade line. The following is the
luupgrade command line that I most recently used
luupgrade -u -n <ABE name> -k /root/sysidcfg -s /cdrom/cdrom0
I have attached file that explains entries in sysidcfg.
Below is the sysidcfg file that I created for this servers.
root@xxxx # cat sysidcfg
name_service=DNS
domain_name=xx.xx.xx
name_server=xx.xx.xx.xx
network_interface=ge0 { hostname=xxx
ip_address=xx.xx.xx.xx
netmask=255.255.255.0
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=xx.xx.xx.xx}
keyboard=US-English
system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Central
terminal=sun-cmd
system_locale=C
Make sure that you get on the console when you reboot to the new OS. I always get some dumb question, such as "What is the terminal type?", when I upgrade the os.
You probably want to do an ls /cdrom (or whatever) and you should get something similiar to the following:
$ ls
Copyright boot
GPL_LGPL_Source_Offer.txt installer

Live upgrade from solaris 8 to 10

how do i upgrade from solaris 8 to 10 using live upgrade on a sun netra t1 machine?

Upgrading from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10

Hi
I am in the process of upgrading from Solaris 8 to 10 on a sparc server.
What I would like to know if anyone has experienced compatibility issues during the upgrade with the Korn and C Shell as well as perl.

Upgrades from either Solaris 8 or 9 are supported (see the Release Notes http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0552 section on "Changes in Upgrade Support for Solaris Releases").
As for whether to upgrade or install anew, it depends. If you just want to have the system set up as much as possible like it is now except with the new OS, upgrade. If you'd like a chance for a fresh start, where you may have to do some work re-applying configuration and other changes you made, but end up leaving behind some old changes you no longer need, then an initial install might be appropriate.

Upgrading from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8 on an Ultra 60

I am currently investigating upgrading an Ultra 60 machine from Solaris 7 to Solaris 8. I would like to save the data on the machine, if possible. Is there any way to do this? The only thing that I can find is downloads to get the entire Solaris 8 on three CDs, and it doesn't sound like it would save the data on the disk. (Though I don't know - this is the first time that I am upgrading from 7 to 8.) Any links of answers would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!

You're talking about 2 different things.
1. Downloading and "burning" CD images
2. Upgrading from Sol 7 to Sol 8.
Once you have successfully downloaded, burned and tested your CD's then you can use them to Upgrade your system. You do not need to download or burn the Installation CD. You only need CD 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. You should probably test these CD's with an Initial Install on a system you don't care about.
Once the CD's have been tested then you can use them to Upgrade. You should see the option of Initial Install or Upgrade after you have answered all the sysid questions. Please note that you should not even think about an Upgrade unless you have done a level 0 ufsdump of your entire boot disk to a local tape drive. You may need it in case you have to resize your partitions if Solaris 8 doesn't fit into your existing filesystems.

Upgrade from Solaris 10 06/06 to Solaris 10 11/06

Hi,
I need to upgrade from Solaris 10 06/06 to Solaris 10 11/06
What's the best way of doing this? I looked up Live Upgrade and regular update.
It seems like an upgrade is exactly the same as a fresh install. Use a DVD and boot from it.
For the Live Upgrade I can upgrade while system is in production.
Shouldn't this type of upgrade (same main release, just updated) be easy, like updating packages or patching the system?
Any comments, maybe I missed something major like upgrading by just adding a few simple packages and rebooting.

When I try an upgrade, I never get prompted to
upgrade.
I get all the way to the point where it asks which
disk to install to.There are various things that can disable the upgrade option, but the installer is very opaque about what it's doing.
The most common thing is if /etc/vfstab can't be easily parsed to find all the OS filesystems. If there's any strange mounts that aren't OS related, you might want to remove them from /etc/vfstab and just make sure that you preserve the location that the data resides.
You need to have one and only one partition visible on your disks with tag 'root'. I think that confuses the upgrade if there's more than one.
Is the upgrade option after this? From the manuals I
got that all info such as hostname, ip and everything
else should be recognized from previous installs.
But it asks me to input all of these.It's after the host identification section, but at the beginning of the Solaris installation section.
So if it's asking for cluster level or which disks, it's past the point.

Solaris 10 6/06 Next Monday, with ZFS included.Upgrade from 1/06 available?

Hi all
I have read next monday solaris 10 6/06 will be launched worldwide, including new and waited zfs v. 1.0.
I have been using my solaris 10_x86 1/06 for some time ago... and I was wondering if it would be possible to upgrade my system (not re-installing it from zero) or even, install ZFS as install-alone packages??
Someone knows if it will be possible?

The Solaris install program have an upgrade option, which you can use to upgrade from 1/06 to 6/06...
