Solaris 10 06/06 x86 install Unable to run cmd: /usr/sbin/sysidput

Hello,
When I install Solaris 10 06/06 on my x86 machine, I follow all of the prompts. Eventually , I get to a place in the X Windows GUI where I enter my IP, netmask, Router IP, DNS server IPs, domain, and search list.
I get an error at the end of th network configuration section.
runCmd error in /usr/sbin/sysidput with output:
Unable to run cmd: /usr/sbin/sysidput
No sysidcfg found.
I found my sysidcfg at /etc/sysidcfg. everytime I try to create a file or copy a file over to /usr/sbin. I get a read only error. I am logged in as root..
/etc is not my $PATH. Is that the problem? Do special commands exist to put it in the path?
Please help. I have not used UNIX in two years. I not know Solaris Administration.
Does a newer DVD exist with the fix already done?
Thank you very much.

This is a known issue. Do not configure the network at the time of OS installation. Select NON-Networked and continue,
Once you are done with the installation, run sys-unconfig and you will be able to configure the network.

Solaris10 install - unable to run cmd /usr/sbin/sysidput

I have an Ultra10 at home with Solaris9 on it now. Attempting to install Solaris10 from CDs. Boots up fine on first CD, then tries to configure hme0 and chokes. Gives me errors "Warning: hme0: fault detected in device; service degraded" and "Warning: hme0: No response from Ethernet network: link down --cable problem?"
I'm using a Linksys cable modem BEFCMU10 and Linksys cable router WRT54GS. Noticed it started doing this when I changed from old BEFSR41 router to new wireless router.
Well, I ignore this error and move on. Install process gathers info such as dhcp (yes, my router set up to do this), time zone and so forth. It processes my inputs and then gives me the error "unable to run cmd /usr/sbin/sysidput".
Anyone have either of these problems and resolve them successfully?
Thanks, Ron

How do I enable this at install time from the CDs?Afraid the answer is likely burn a custom boot CD
after judicious tampering with the GA media-set - or -
read up on custom JumpStart installations (neither
are exactly for the faint hearted, both are probably
overkill).
Wondering if this is causing the other error "unable
to run cmd /usr/sbin/sysidput"?Could be a combination of a bug in the installer
triggered by primary netif down + DHCP network
parameter configuration selected.
Suggestion would be (as next poster suggests)
rebuild with node detached from LAN, and, with
static, dummy network parameters as workaround,
then post-install setup etc/system to work around
your switch's carrier-sense bogosity as per Sol9
as well as re-enable for DHCP.
It's probably also worth filing this as a bug if you
have a SunService contract; it wouldn't be the
first time one of OpenPROM, the install-time
mini-root, suninstall, or dhcpagent have shipped
with inbuilt "just don't do's".
IOTW - work around the problem, bug it with Sun
if it's reproducable, then get on with life.

Jumpstart - Unable to run cmd: /usr/sbin/sysidput

I'm working on migrating my main NIS/Jumpstart server from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10. I've setup up a new Solaris 10 NIS/Jumpstart server for testing purposes while the Solaris 8 server is still in production.
Any time I try to install a client with this new Solaris 10 server, it blows up when it gets to the "Please wait while the system is configured with your settings..." window.
An Error dialog is displayed with the text "An error has occurred in configuring the system. Please go back and check your settings."
The console shows:
Completing system identification...
runCmd error in /usr/sbin/sysidput
Unable to run cmd: /usr/sbin/sysidput
General error, see /var/sadm/system/logs/sysidtool.logThe sysidtool.log doesn't show anything of any interest, so that's a dead-end.
Of course I've tried changing all the settings, getting rid of sysidcfg all together and answering the prompts instead, but the install still fails in the same way.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
--Zach

I too faced this error and wondered wat 2 do. Its just elementary
Press Stop A combination and come to OK prompt if sparc machine
Remove LAN cable and restart by executing command : boot cdrom
Go for NON NETWORKED option while installation.Later you can setup after installation
If u want u can enable remote services
It will work...no need to do anything with sysidput file
I have advised this option for sparc machines
if any issues reply.................

Unable to run cmd:/usr/sbin/sysidput

Trying to load Solaris10 from a jumpstart server running Solaris 8. I keep getting the error Unable to run cmd: /usr/sbin/sysidput. It seems to have something to do with networking. Does anybody know what this error is or a workaround for it.

Well, i saw it in a Solaris 10 Beta, it should be fixed in the current version.
Do you have a sysidcfg file? If so, what does it point out as a primary interface? Maybe the primary interfaces specified in that file doesn't exists on the machine.
Othervise, check the /var/sadm/system/logs/sysidtool.log file (might be under /a/var/sadm/system/logs/sysidtool.log )

What is the hosting you are using on azure? Hosted your application as Azure web site or cloud service?
If it is a azure cloud service - you will either need to define the start up tasks to do the same or need to run your azure roles in elevated context.

Solaris 10 for X86 Install issue: "Server for display :0 can't be started"

After fixing my "can't set locale" problem I am moving onto the "Server for display :0 can't be started" issue.
Checking /etc/dtc/Xerrors yields:
1) error (PID 380) : Server unexpectedly died
2) error (PID 380) : Server for display :0 can't be started
I\ve tried running kdconfig and setting XSun not XOrg. I am using a 2 channel KVM with a 3 button mouse (the only PS2 mouse I have lying around...) but the config seems to pick it up without any problems.
Feel free to reply direct to me g.h.lawrence<at>gmail.com if you wish. Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Installing Solaris 10 on x86

I have downloaded the iso files and zip files(all 5 files) for Solaris 10 for x86.
How do I go about installing it on a particular partition?I
am running Win XP Pro, but have made an unformated partition on a logical drive in the extended partitions.
How much disc space do I need?(The documentation says 2gb,but I guess I shud allocate mroe?

I've just installed Solaris 10 1/06 yesterday. I have already had windows xp installed on my system and there was no problem with this. At that time the partition configuration was: 5,5GB for the Primary Partition on which XP was installed and the rest to about 80GB was an extended partition (logical).
Using Partition Magic I resized and moved the logical (larger) partition so that I would get some free space before and after that partition. I've used the "left side" unused space created to enlarge the winXP NTFS partition to a total of 9GB. The unformatted space of 15 GB remaining at the "right side" I've formatted as a primary partition (FAT32) - this does not really matter, but I wanted there to be a partition I could see.
As you can see, I reserved 15 GB for Solaris 10. The full installation costs about 6-6,5 GB. During install you will be prompted for a sort of "drive configuration" in which I specified about 10GB for the Solaris system, 4GB for my Home "drive"/directory (I'm not used to Unix terminology) and about 850 MB for Swap (beeing taken into consideration the physical memory of 512MB). The system works fine like this. The only problem I get now is that Partition Magic will not start anymore in windows because it does not recognize the Solaris partition and that creates an error. :P
Hope it helps.

Fresh solaris 10 x86 install patch update problems 119060-17 ...

Just yesterday, i installed a fresh Solaris 10 x86 onto some pc hardware. After getting solaris installed and issues with my network card, i downloaded and installed the free version of the update manager 1.0.x. Next, i proceeded to update all the general patches for the solaris 10 system. I started with the command 'pprosvc -i' from a terminal. It then proceeded to download and validate a bunch of patches successfully until it hit the following 3 patches:
119060-17 ---- X11 6.6.2_x86: Xsun patch
122213-10 ---- GNOME 2.6.0_x86: GNOME Desktop Patch
122912-02 ---- SunOS 5.10_x86: Apache 1.3 Patch
All 3 failed some kind of validation and then crashed the pprosvc program, at which point it exited with the following error:
122912-02 cannot be validated
119060-17 cannot be validated
122912-02 cannot be validated
Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature(s).
I also tried to use the GUI Update Manager to update, hoping the problem was isolated to pprosvc, but that problem was also in the GUI with a similar error message:
Error occurred...The detailed error message is: Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digitial signature(s)
Anyone know why Sun's update patch process is so troublesome?
Getting Tired of Solaris Updates...
I should mention that this is the free solaris 10 x86 install and i don't have a service contract with Sun. If this problem persists, i don't think i'll get one, as i see only further problems after buying one.
tired and confused

Hi,
There is an issue with this that is currently being investigated. There is another thread that may shed some light on what is happening here;
http://forum.sun.com/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=316
Thread title is : Sun UC, Digitally Signed Patches Using New Verisign Certificates
In the short-term please ensure that the patch mentioned in it is installed.
To quote part of mentioned thread above:
"Once the Sun Update Connection client software is upgraded with patch 121118-06 (SPARC) or 121119-06 (x86/x64) or later revisions normal behavior will resume. "
If this fails to resolve your problem, would you be kind enough to post the output of the following command for analysis please;
# showrev -p | egrep -e '121454|121119|120336|121082|121564|122232|119789'

Unbootable Solaris 10 x86 installed on ZFS root file system

Hi all,
I have unbootable Solaris 10 x86 installed on ZFS root file system. on an IDE HDD
The bios keep showing the msg
DISK BOOT FAILURE , PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM BOOT DISK
please note :
1- the HDD is connected properly and recognized by the system
2- GRUB don't show any messages
is there any guide to recover the system , or detail procedure to boot system again
Thanks,,,

It's not clear if this is a recently installed system that is refusing to boot OR if the system was working fine and crashed.
If it's the former, I would suggest you check the BIOS settings to make sure it's booting from the right hard disk. In any case, the Solaris 10 installation should have writting the GRUB stage1 and stage2 blocks to the beginning of the disk.
If the system crashed and is refusing to boot, you can try to boot from a Solaris 10 installation DVD. Choose the single user shell option and see if it can find your system. You should be able to use format/devfsadm/etc to do the actual troubleshooting. If your disk is still responding, try a `zpool import` to see if there is any data that ZFS can recognize (it usually has many backup uberblocks and disk labels scattered around the disk).

I have purchased a mac mini only to find I am unable to run Logic pro 9 , is there any way this can be achieved? It has been suggested that I partition the drive and install a copy of an older operating system to run the Logic Pro, is this feasible?

Only with a whole lot of effort and instability. As the new Minis have
hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
running 10.6.8. I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
be enough to be unusable is the question.

Unable to run Software Install/Restore Disk, Help!

Hi,
Currently unable to run my original Software Install and Restore disk.
Can force the CD tray to open, Disk drive is working fine and can hear it whirring but not running the program on disk!
Tried holding C key not working (did run my Apple Hardware Test disk though)
Also tried Holding Command, Option, Shift and Delete keys (to disable hard drive as described in Apple help info)
If anyone has any suggestions Im know throwing in potential marriage to anyone with an answer thatll work.
(Please note: Id love to buy DiskWarrior but at £70 and currently being unemployed, that is definitely a last resort.)
MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS OUTLINED BELOW
Hi nice people.
I own a G4 imac 15 flat panel, running OSX10.2
Currently after turning on my computer I get the following-
The start up tone, then a screen with the grey apple logo, I then get the spinning grey progress wheel and this is how the computer remains, not progressing from this screen!
The hard drive is making an active noise for the first minute and then goes quiet.
Previously to this situation-
My computer kept locking up while I was using the Internet.
Seeing the progress indicator (spinning disc) it remained constant and I was not able to do anything from this point. Tried force quitting nothing.
Switching off the computer with the power button led me to me my current situation.
I have followed all online help advice that seems to be relevant and have tried the following-
Resetting PRAM_
Safe Boot_
I have also disconnected all additional devices and Ethernet connection.
Bugger.

Ok, well they don't actually have them anymore, but if one calls up and says they lost their cds, Apple SOS can send a duplicate, but whether or not its the actual 4 cds and two 10.2.1 cds that remains to be seen, but according to what they told me they no longer provide the cds unless the customer mentions that it was lost or misplaced.

Does WLS 4.5.1 Run on Solaris 2.7 (x86) ???

All--
Does WLS 4.5.1 run on Solaris 2.7 (x86) or does it not? The system in
question was running Solaris 2.6 (x86) and WLS 4.5.1 ran quite happily
on that. What is the snag with 2.7? I am using JDK 1.1.7 (and have
alternated w/ JDK 1.2.1).
Mainly, WLS keeps looking for (and not finding) 'weblogicunix1' shared
library file. I have nativeIO disabled but the server insists on this
behaviour.
Further, I have seen news postings regarding issues with servers that
are running on Solaris 2.7 (x86) so it is obvious that it does indeed
run. What is the trick to getting it working? It seems to trip up when
attempting to bind to the assigned ports.
Any tips/advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
TIA
Ben

We have not certified on X86 Solaris, there is no business case for it.
Having said that I think this library should only load if you are running
as a priv user and try to switch to nobody status. This library does not
exist for x86.
