Solaris 10 on virtual pc , vmware or qemu ?

Hi, i'm new to Solaris. i was wondering if i could install Solaris 10 on any of these ?. My goal is get SCSA. My options are,
Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel 975 mobo (unsupported). or
Intel Pentium D, Intel 945 mobo (supported) or
getting old IBM Intellistation E pro (P4 1.7Ghz, i845 chipset) or ThinkCentre A51 (P4 3.06 Ghz, i915)
Core, D and ThinkCentre models would cost the same, and E Pro will be around $250 (including 19" monitor)
any suggestions ?. Thanks in advance.

I really doubt whether Solaris 10 will run properly (if at all) on Core 2 Duo. I have been trying to install on my Core 2 Duo for two months now with both Solaris 10 and the latest Solaris Express - no luck. As soon as the pc reboots after installing, I either find myself staring at a black screen or my box goes into endless rebooting.
I have noticed that I am not the only one who is affected by this weird behavior. I have read similar complaints from people who are also running Core 2 Duo, Pentium D or Centrino. I also found a forum which points out that neither of these CPUs is currently supported by Solaris, at least not in 64 bit mode (32 bit mode does appear to work, but I am just too fed up to even give it a try...). I guess Linus Torvalds was right to point out that hardware support under solaris is a hoax.
Whatever, the same behavoir appears to affect Solaris running inside vmware (although I cannot confirm this). Read this one for example :

  • How to install SUNWi1cs in Solaris 10 under Virtual Box

    Hallo!I am a total newbie in Solaris.
    I have installed Solaris 10 (guest OS)via Virtual Box in XP (host OS).I would like to install Oracle 10g in Solaris 10 but prerequisite s/w like SUNWi1cs and SUNWi15cs aren’t installed.
    I have been trying to install this through commands such as
    pkgadd –d /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs
    but this directory does not exist.
    How would I access this directory ?Will this mean mounting the CD-ROM with a Solaris 10 DVD-R disc or can I access the Solaris 10 virtual box files in the XP path shown below
    C:\Documents and Settings\JOEY\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\SOLARIS_10\PRODUCT
    The Oracle 10g for Solaris zipped file is in the XP OS.How do I transfer this file (and any other files in XP)into Solaris 10 to be able to install Oracle 10g in Solaris under Virtualbox?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    If u have installed Solaris operating system on some VMWare by iso file then it will treat iso file as CD. So that following steps will resolve ur issue.
    1. Mount that iso file into /mnt file system.
    For example ur iso mounted file system like this:-
    /mnt/cdrom/Solaris_10/Product
    2. Then run this command:-
    pkgadd -d /mnt/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi512
    It will ask would to like to add these then type Y
    3. Successful installed package message will displayed.
    It is the right way to add package from source
    Regards,
    Rizi

  • Solaris Cluster 3.3 on VMware ESX 4.1

    Hi there,
    I am trying to setup Solaris Cluster 3.3 on Vmware ESX 4.1
    My first question is: Is there anyone out there setted up Solaris Cluster on vmware accross boxes?
    My tools:
    Solaris 10 U9 x64
    Solaris Cluster 3.3
    Vmware ESX 4.1
    HP DL 380 G7
    HP P2000 Fibre Channel Storage
    When I try to setup cluster, just next next next, it completes successfully. It reboots the second node first and then the itself.
    After second node comes up on login screen, ping stops after 5 sec. Same either nodes!
    I am trying to understand why it does that? I did every possibility to complete this job. Setted up quorum as RDM from VMware. Solaris has direct access to quorum disk now.
    I am new to Solaris and I am having the errors below. If someone would like to help me it will be much appreciated!
    Please explain me in more details i am new bee in solaris :) Thanks!
    I need help especially on error: /proc fails to mount periodically during reboots.
    Here is the error messages. Is there any one out there setted up Solaris Cluster on ESX 4.1 ?

    Hi, thanks for reply,
    I have already followed the steps also on your links but no joy on this.
    What i noticed here is cluster seems to be buggy. Because i have tried to install cluster 3.3 on physical hardware and it gave me excat same error messages! interesting isnt it?
    Please see errors below that I got from on top of VMware and also on Solaris Physical hardware installation:
    ERROR1:
    Comment: I have installed different memories all the time. It keeps sayying that silly error.
    problem_statement : *Node has insufficient physical memory.
    <analysis>5120 MB of memory is installed on this node.The current release of Solaris Cluster requires a minimum of 1024 MB of physical memory in each node. Additional memory required for various Data Services.</analysis>
    <recommendations>Add enough memory to this node to bring its physical memory up to the minimum required level.
    ERROR2
    Comment: Despite rmt directory is there I gor error below on cluster check
    <problem_statement>The /dev/rmt directory is missing.
    <analysis>The /dev/rmt directory is missing on this Solaris Cluster node. The current implementation of scdidadm(1M) relies on the existence of /dev/rmt to successfully execute 'scdidadm -r'. The /dev/rmt directory is created by Solaris regardless of the existence of the actual nderlying devices. The expectation is that the user will never delete this directory. During a reconfiguration reboot to add new disk devices, if /dev/rmt is missing scdidadm will not create the new devices and will exit with the following error: 'ERR in discover_paths : Cannot walk /dev/rmt' The absence of /dev/rmt might prevent a failover to this node and result in a cluster outage. See BugIDs 4368956 and 4783135 for more details.</analysis>

  • Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?

    Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?
    1. If the installation is possible for the Vmware instance on a DL 380 G5/G6 server , will that be supported by Cisco ?
    Similary is the case with CUIC 8.5. Has anybody worked on these do suggest ideas.

    Virtualized UC applications from Cisco are only supported on the UC on UCS platform using ESXi 4.0, 4.0 Update 1, or 4.1 - hypervisor support may vary based on application.

  • ODI Agent and Virtual Servers (VMWare)

    Hi
    We are planning on moving to virtual servers (VMware product) in the near future.
    Has anyone had experience running ODI agent on a virtualised server. I can't envisage any problems, but Oracle do not specificallly support running on VM Ware (as they have their own VM product!!).
    Just wondering if theres anyone out there who has already tried this?
    Thanks for looking

    I agree, seen ODI and agents running on VMWare without any issues on many occasions.

  • Issue with booting a virtual Solaris 10 server from within VMWARE vCenter

    Hi All,
    I'm currently experiencing the following challenge, maybe someone knows what's up with this;
    We're using vmware to deploy a number of solaris servers to our developers but one of the servers keeps booting into single usermode instead of booting straight into the multiuser mode, when the server has booted you can go into multiuser mode manually but it would be great if it would go in an automatic way.

  • Solaris 10 3/05 on VMWare Workstation 4.5

    Does anyone have experience installing Solaris 10 Intel on VMWare workstation 4.5?
    The setup:
    Dell Inspiron 5160
    Windows XP Pro sp2
    VMWare Workstation 4.5
    1gig of ram
    3.2ghz cpu hyperthreading
    CD-RW/DVD-/+RW
    Dell Wireless 4150
    Broadcom NIC
    I have installed early release versions b69 and b72, and the official release 3/05. Out of the three, b69 performs the best and has less problems with the cdrom.
    One problem that I am having: when I put in a cd, the Solaris 10 virtual machine will kick it back out.
    I also have fedora core 3 and redhat 9 installed. They don't have any problems with inserting a cd.
    And it doesn't seem to matter which OS is 'active' , meaning, all mouse and keyboard input go to that OS, if the solaris 10 virtual machine is running, then it kicks the cd back out.
    Does anyone know what causes this problem? I have Solaris 10 3/05 intel installed right now.
    Does anyone have best practices that they would like to share? I have already looked at everything i could find on the vmware.com web site.

    The workaround that I did was not changing LBA, but specify the root(/) with in 1024 cylinder, and put swap after it, then put /usr, /var, /tmp, /opt, /home, etc using cylinder number to not exceed the total number. Thus / will not need to exceed 1024 cylinders.
    See if it works for you.

  • Help Requested - Creating Solaris 10 x64 Virtual Machine on an ESX Server

    Hi All,
    I have been trying to create a Solaris 10 64 bit Virtual Machine on ESX and VMWare server Virtualization Platform.
    One of the forum entries said - The installer doesn't really care. At every boot, the processor type will be determined and a 32-bit or a 64-bit kernel will be run (unless you override it)
    I hence downloaded the iso from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp and I installed it. When I run uname -a command on the terminal, this is what is displayed -
    SunOS unknown 5.10 Generic_127128-11 i86pc i386 i86pc
    This indicates that the kernel is 32 bit right?
    Please help me create the 64 bit VM.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Expanding root partition in Solaris 10 VirtualBox virtual machine

    I am running a Solaris 10 u8 x86 64-bit guest as a VirtualBox VM on a WinXP x64 host. I was running out of space in the guest VM, so I used CloneVDI (http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22422) to clone and expand the VM from 20GB to 30GB. Now I need to expand the / partition in the VM filesystem so that it sees the whole 30GB now available. What is the best way to do this within the Sol10 guest? Is there a way to simply add a new "extent" to the existing filesystem?
    Thank you in advance...

    16065 x 2717 / 2 / 1024 / 1024 => 20.81
    The only way to change this is to blow it away and recreate it and hope your data survives. If you do it right it should, but you need to be prepared for it to not work.
    You'd boot from alternate media (CD/DVD/network), then use 'fdisk' on the root drive. It'll have a 20GB Solaris partition on it. Destroy it and create a new one that is full size (40G).
    Now run 'prtvtoc' on the drive again. If the number of sectors per cylinder is the same (just the number of cylinders increased), then you should be okay and able to continue. If the size of a cylinder changed, then your data will probably not be accessible.
    Now take your original 'prtvtoc' output file and remove the line with slice 2 in it
    * First Sector Last
    * Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory

    9 9 01 16065 32130 48194Use 'fmthard' to reapply the slices.
    # fmthard -s <vtocfile> /dev/rdsk/c0d0s2Check the disk and all the slices should be back.
    Verify root filesystem is still present and okay
    # fsck -n /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0If all that is done, then you're really close. Since the root slice is at the end of the disk, increasing the size is simple. Just go into 'format -> partition' and edit slice 0. Keep the start cylinder the same, but change the number of cylinders to use the rest of the disk. When done type 'label' and exit format. If done correctly you can now run 'growfs /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0' to increase the size. Reboot and everything should come up.
    The worst part is that when you increase the Solaris partition, I don't believe there's a guarantee that the cylinder size won't change. When I've attempted this, I haven't had any problems, but I've always been ready if it didn't work. When it works, it does save time.
    Good luck!

  • IDS in a Virtualized Environment (vmware)

    Can anyone elaborate on an IDS solution for a virtualized environment?
    I have blade servers running ESX/ESXi - heavily virtualized environment. Im using blade switches as chassis I/O - no pass throughs.
    The requirement is to run an IDS service such that VM-to-VM traffic is monitored. The traffic flow can be between two VMs on the same blade, 2 VMs on two separate blades in the same chassis, or two VMs on two separate chasses...
    In that case, I see 3 traffic flows off the bat...
    same blade: vm-to-vm traffic is switched by a hypervisor switch (1000v or vmware vDS).
    different blades in same chassis: vm-to-vm traffic will leave blade and be switched by chassis hardware switch (chassis I/O blade).
    different chassis: vm-to-vm traffic will have to go to ToR (maybe even end-of-row).
    NOTE: if VMs are on different VLANs, traffic will always go to end-of-row/agg switches (the L3/L2 boundary).
    So given all those possible flows, what is the best way to go about deploying an IDS service? Placement? Virtual or physical? etc....
    Thanks!

  • Solaris 10 on Virtual Machine

    Hi all,
    I installed Solaris 10 on VM (VMWare).
    For installing some application I need to partition disk like shown below (I added SCSI disk, 12 GB from VM settings):
    DISKS:c2t0d0(12000)
    SLICE:root:/:1024:-:-:-:c2t0d0s0:-
    SLICE:swap:swap:512:-:-:-:c2t0d0s1:-
    SLICE:var:/var:1200:-:-:-:c2t0d0s3:-
    SLICE:opt:/opt:2048:-:-:-:c2t0d0s4:-
    SLICE:log:/log:512:-:-:-:c2t0d0s5:-
    SLICE:sybase_data_dev:/sybase_data_dev:4096:-:-:-:c2t0d0s6:-
    SLICE:back:back:1024:-:-:-:c2t0d0s7:-
    My first question is how to make those slices. I tried with format -> partition (following http://fengnet.com/book/Solaris_admin/ch01lev1sec15.html) and I can create root,swap and var but cannot proceed further (got message: opt is not expected).
    Is there any way to make this with format or it can be done at another way?
    Next step would be to install bootblock to c2t0dos0 (I tried with instalboot and got message: Installboot is obsolete. Use installgrub(1M) ).
    There is a webpage with instructions regarding bootblock -> http://sun.drydog.com/faq/7.html
    ... but it does not work for me :-(
    Any help would be very much appreciated!
    Best regards,

    I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
    Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
    That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

  • Solaris 10 on Virtual PC X-server configuration

    I have previously installed Solaris 10 b69 and b72 on Microsoft Virtual PC. In those builds I used the Xsun server and kdmconfig to set the following configuration that has been working well:
    Video device: XF86-VESA VESA compatible video cards
    Resolution: 1600x1200 - 65536 colors
    screen: 17 inch
    monitor: multifrequency 64KHz (up to 1600x1200 interlaced)
    Today I installed the 3/05 release and the above configuration does not work. Testing it in kdmconfig results in errors like:
    InitOutput: AddScreen failed for SUNWxf86.vesa
    /var/log/Xsun.0.log shows:
    (WW) No supplemental Xorg Configuration file exists, use Solaris OWconfig file
    (EE) VESA(0): V_BIOS address 0x36320 out of range
    (EE) PreInit done
    (EE) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuration
    Now kdmconfig lets me set XF86-VGA 1024x768 - 256 colors. But that is too limiting in size and resolution.
    How can I get the b72 configuration to work in the 3/05 release?

    I did not have that option on the Solaris 9 install, but I did get the same results using a slighty different Video device:
    Install Solaris 9 as normal and the default resolution as 1024x768 with 256 colors.
    (1) Upon successful boot, log into the text based console.
    (2) Navigate to the /usr/X/bin directory and run ./kdmconfig
    (3) Change the Video Device/Monitor as follows:
    Video Device: XF86-S3 S3's non- VIRGE or Savage products
    Screen Size: 17-inch (43cm)
    Resolution/Colors: 1024x768 - 65536 colors @75Hz
    Monitor Type: MultiFrequency 64kHz (up to 1600x1200 interlaced)
    Keyboard Type: Generic US-English(104-Key)
    Pointing Device: Built-in PS/2 Mouse (2 Button+ 25ms 3 Button Emulation)
    (4) Save settings and exit, then reboot.
    Did this and it worked like a champ.

  • Solaris won't run in VMware 5 on Windows XP Professional

    I tried to install Solaris 10 in VMware 5 to see what it was like.
    Upon booting from the first x86-x64 CD, I selected the first installation type.
    After a couple of seconds it stopped, with a message that said that it needs PAE (Physical Address Extension).
    Now, both my current OSes (Windows XP Professional & Mandriva Linux 2005 LE) support PAE, as does my processor (AMD Sempron 2800+), but it isn't enabled.
    Does anyone know how to fix this so I run Solaris 10 in VMware 5, or should I just partition my drive and install Solaris 10 directly onto it.
    My system is running on a MSI K8MM-V motherboard with the K8M800 chipset, 1GB of TwinMOS PC3200 DDR RAM, an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor, an ATI Radeon X700 graphics card, a 200GB HDD, a LG DVD-Multi Format drive and a 600W Jeantech Arctic power supply.
    Please help!!

    You need to run the 32-bit kernel:
