Solaris 10 X 86 install hungs

After selecting language (0=English),, CD boot tries to install Solaris 10 I then get this error "No disk found" error eventhough the CD is in there.. please help

hi jsaid,
I guess the error message u r getting is in regards to your Hard Drive. Did u run any of the folloing? 'coz it would be very helpful to run hardware compatibility test:
(1)Device Detection: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.html
(2) Installation Check Tool: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/install_check.html
take a quick look at this too:

Solaris x86 11/06 hung on Acer TravelMate 8210 Laptop

I've just installed Solaris x86 11/06 on my Acer TravelMate 8210 laptop. The installation was completed successfully. However, when the system is rebooted into Solaris, it is always hung at:
�Use is subject to license terms.�
This problem happens with both of the 32-bit and 64-bit kernel. While booting with the option �-kv�, the system always stops at:
�PCI Express-device: pci8086,2448@1e, pci_pci0
pci_pci0 is /pci@0,0/pci8086,2448@1e�
I�ve also tried to boot with the �-s� option, but it doesn�t help.
Is there anything else that I can try? Thank you in advance!
Here is my system spec:
http://reviews.cnet.com/Acer_TravelMate_8210_6597_Core_2_Duo_2_GHz_2_GB_RAM_160_GB_HDD/4507-3121_7-32114677.html?tag=nav
Before the installation, I ran the Solaris Installation Check Tool 1.2, and it said that the system is able to run Solaris.

I've just installed the Solaris Express DE 2/07 and still have the same problem.

Simple two node Cluster Install - Hung after reboot of first node

Hello,
Over the past couple of days I have tried to install a simple two node cluster using two identical SunFire X4200s, firstly following the recipe in: http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/twonodecluster.jsp
and when that failed referring to http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0912 and http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2970.
I am trying to keep the install process as simple as possible, no switch, just back to back connections for the internal networking (node1 e1000g0 <--> node2 e1000g0, node1 e1000g1 <--> node2 e1000g1)
I ran the installer on both X4200s with default answers. This went through smoothly without problems.
I ran scinstall on node1, first time through, choosing "typical" as suggested in the how to guide. Everything goes OK (no errors) node2 reboots, but node1 just sits there waiting for node2, no errors, nothing....
I also tried rerunning scinstall choosing "Custom", and then selecting the no switch option. Same thing happened.
I must be doing something stupid, it's such a simple setup! Any ideas??
Here's the final screen from node1 (dcmds0) in both cases:

I have found out why the install hung - this needs to be added into the install guide(s) at once!! - It's VERY frustrating when an install guide is incomplete!
The solution is posted in the HA-Cluster OpenSolaris forums at:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/Documentation/SCXdocs/relnotes/#bugs
In particular, my problem was that I selected to make my Solaris install secure (A good idea, I thought!). Unfortunately, this stops Sun Cluster from working. To fix the problem you need to perform the following steps on each secured node:
Problem Summary: During Solaris installation, the setting of a restricted network profile disables external access to network services that Sun Cluster functionality uses, ie: The RPC communication service, which is required for cluster communication
Workaround: Restore external access to RPC communication.
Perform the following commands to restore external access to RPC communication.
# svccfg
svc:> select network/rpc/bind
svc:/network/rpc/bind> setprop config/local_only=false
svc:/network/rpc/bind> quit
# svcadm refresh network/rpc/bind:default
# svcprop network/rpc/bind:default | grep local_only
Once I applied these commands, the install process continued ... AT LAST!!!

Ds5.1 on Solaris 8 core install and SNMP

On a Solaris 8 core installation with the Directory Server 5.1,
everything works okay, except SNMP activation from the Administration Server which sends the following error
message :
"Setup select/poll problem : Invalid argument"
SNMP master agent refuses to start.
This works very well on a Solaris 8 full install, so the question
is :
What Solaris 8 packages are required to handle SNMP properly
in this context ?
Thank you very much for your help.

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'
Sincerely,

Solaris 10 x86 install problems allocating resources

I have a problem when I first install. I get two devices, NON ACPI and ACPI both using IRQ 3. After the conflict resolves, during some page instances of the boot configuration assistant, I lose my keyboard functionality.
This is currently set to IRQ 1. I was wondering if this was correct based on x86 platform specific resources. I am also unsure as to what port I need to use.
Has anyone ever tried anything different other than IRQ 1?
AMD K6 400 w/ adaptec 2940 UW / 2 x 9.1 GB scsi Quantum 7200 rpm 56x ide cdrom and 192 mb memory SDRAM
Even if I switch my pci config around physically, that still won't help the keyboard probing or will it? Can I shut off probing and do it manually? Then again, I lose the keyboard sometimes during the boot config.
Thanks,
KW

I think u should do one thing.
1) Find out your name of your NIC card. ( Probably if u installed XP and seen which NIC is that)
2) Download drivers for your NIC by giving something like " download network drivers for solaris for ' your NIC' ".
3) If fortunately if u get drivers, copy it on ur solaris machine and install it by reading readme file of the drivers.
4) In readme file u will also find NIC name.
5) Then run command " ifconfig (card name e.g. bcme0) plumb
6) Now run "ifconfig -a" if u find ur card name there except le0 then congrats u have done it.
7) Move ahead with network config.
Note : - I am not sure but i think if ur machine is old then u will not get drivers for it.
Tell me if u get success........

Solaris 10 x86 Install skips Network Configuration

I am trying to install solaris 10 x86 on a Dell Dimension and not able to get the network card to work. The network card is Ok as I tested it by installing Windows XP on the same box.
Ifconfig -a shows only le0.
What is the best way to enable the network card?
Any help is appreciated.

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).

Can't access Solaris 10 after install Essbase 11.1.1.3 32/64-bit clients

We try to install Oracle Essbase 11.1.1.3 Client 11.1.1.3 32 and 64 bit in separated folders on Sun Solaris 10.
Installation performed by root.
1.
32-bit Essbase 11.1.1.3 Client was installed and cofigured in ../ESS11113_32 folder with Oracle installer without
problem.
2.
We tried to install the 64-bit Essbase 11.1.1.3 Client in separate ../ESS11113_64 folder by running command
# installTool.sh -console
3.
After that, we got the problem on Solaris 10 system after 64-bit Essbase 11.1.1.3 Client installation which didn't succeed.
We can't access the server with any user id (except root).
The following is from /var/adm/messages,
Error : Aug 21 14:53:46 renata telnetd[27562]: [ID 176939 daemon.error] libpkcs11: /usr/lib/security/pkcs11_kernel.so unexpected failure

So, please tell us is there anyway to fix this issue asap?
Thanks,

Thanks john for your reply.
Below are my questions which are still not clear to me. We are using only SAN Pillar Storage for DB servers and Local Hard disks for all Application servers. So said this App Servers cant access SAN storage all they have is local hard disk for each app server.
1. For Essbase Server can i use SAN shared file system from pillar storage for ARBORPATH only for Active-Passive setup.
2. For Applications can i use the local hard disk space as shared between two systems for HA (Active-Active).

Several mysterious problems with Solaris 11 x86 install

Hi folks,
I've recently installed Solaris 11 x86 as a replacement for Solaris 9 SPARC on an Ultra 2 machine. I like the operating system, but I've promptly acquired some mysterious problems. The computer is a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E2500 with a Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, an 80 GB SATA disk and a 147 GB SCSI disk.
I have had a few occasions on which the screen goes totally blank, the monitor claims that there is no signal, and I have to restart the machine. However, with the blank screen, the hard drive activity light is sometimes still flashing. This happens predictably when I try to log off (as opposed to shutting down) and when I use Totem media player and click on anything inside the Totem window. The motherboard has built-in graphics and brief specifications can be found here:
http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/professionalpc/ESPRIMO/Datasheets/ds_esprimo_edition_e2500.pdf
Yesterday my PS/2 keyboard started causing the motherboard to beep crazily when I use it. It beeps rapidly 4 times, then prints the expected character. However, the problem doesn't occur at the initial log in screen. The mouse cursor has also gone beserk on one occasion, flying all over the screen (I had this problem with a previous PC, but a different OS, and thought it was a hardware fault, which I why I got this new computer). With the keyboard problem, the machine is basically unusable. However, it is configured as a dual boot machine, and the keyboard problem isn't present with Windows XP.
There are also a few smaller, odd problems. Occasionally all the icons vanish from my Gnome desktop. The command prompt also mysteriously changed from $chris@pluto to $bash-4.1 just before the keyboard problem appeared, although that might have had something to do with me copying my home directory to a different disk and editing the /etc/auto_home file (moving the home directory worked fine). Also, unlike with Solaris 9 SPARC, I find that I have to have external SCSI devices switched on at boot time, should I want to use them later. That's a pain. With Solaris 9, I could run "boot -r" when I first attached the device, then switch on the SCSI devices and mount them whenever I wanted.
After the useful advice I received here about "more" and "less", I thought I'd post these problems and see if anyone can help. I'd really appreciate some advice. Can anyone identify likely causes for these problems? Which problems can I expect to solve and which do I have to live with?
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy

Oracle 8.1.7 Solaris 2.6 Install error

I'm trying to install 8.1.7 on a Solaris 2.6 box (10K domain, with all patches installed according to readme file). The install of the client part works great, but when I go and install the server I get an error saying that make of /opt/oracle/8.1.7/rdbms/lib/ins_rdbms.mk has failed.

Solaris 10/X86 install appears to have destroyed my display.

Hello folks -
I'm new here, I searched and did not find anything that matched so I'm posting. If I'm asking about something previously covered, please be patient, I'll learn.
I am running an Asus A7N8 Deluxe motherboard with an Athlon 2800+, standard ATA/133 drives and an Nvidia 6800 AGP supplied by PNY. My display is a Viewsonic VA2012wb, which I've since learned is only available at a well-known warehouse membership store.
I've been using this setup under XP for some months now, and yesterday I decided to try and install Sol10/X86 again now that some new drivers are available that support my onboard LAN. Nothing untoward happened during the install (I'm very familiar with the process on Sparc hardware), and I was asked to reboot so I could start installing CD2.
Suddenly, no display on boot. Troubleshooting ensued, and I found that I was able to get the monitor to display if I connected the VGA cable instead of the DVI interface I've successfully used all this time.
Subsequent troubleshooting included:
1. Changing out the 6800 with a 6200 I had on hand.
2. Booting to XP to see if the Nvidia Twinview stuff had become confused - The Nvidia software behaved as if there was nothing available on the DVI input, so many menus did not even appear.
3. Checking with Viewsonic to make sure that I was clear on how the monitor selects inputs. It's largely automatic, but hitting the '2' key on the front panel forces a rescan of the analog and digital inputs.
4. Substituting another display on this workstation, with all cables unchanged, so I could verify that the DVI output on my video card still worked. Tested fine.
5. Moving the affected display to another workstation, to see if it was capable of functioning on the DVI input from a different machine. It was not, test failed.
6. Unplugging everything and letting it sit for over an hour (while I fumed) - test failed.
7. Returned the affected display to Costco today, for a spanky new one. It worked great on DVI with existing hardware (and under XP) this afternoon, so I decided to re-start my Solaris install.
Lather, rinse, repeat, or so I was about to find out....
After I was asked to reboot from CD1, my display died again.
Just like yesterday, it's currently working fine on the VGA input/dead to the world on DVI, and just like yesterday, everything was fine until the first reboot after the Solaris CD1. I repeated the most pertinent aspects of my prior diagnostic steps, and then I went out to the back porch to curse and throw tools until I felt better.
I cannot find a hardware reset button for the display, and an old friend of mine reports that he had a similar issue under Solaris 8/X86 in which he ended up blowing up a CRT. The Sol8 installer was overdriving the monitor.
That said, I don't think that the DVI interface is able to 'overdrive' a monitor, and that confuses me more deeply. I know that if I (re)abuse the return policy of this warehouse store once more tomorrow and get a new display it will fix the problem, but I'm hoping that I can fix this in house!
I refuse to believe that Solaris is actually frying the DVI input on my display, but I do have clear evidence that it the installer is a destructive force, at least with Nvidia cards and a VA2012wb. I'm seeing some similar threads on the Linux forums, some mentioning the part number of my display in specific, but no clear resolutions yet.
Any thoughts?

OK, well... I did a restart, invoking the 'option' command, and the Lion Recovery partition did not show up, so I went ahead and booted back into SL, wherein I was given a 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' with a choice of ejecting, ignoring, or initializing. I chose Ignore, and the drive now just shows up in disk utility as 'media' with no opportunity to interact with it.
I had the presence of mind to make a Lion DVD before I installed, so I booted with that, and it too was unable to interact with the drive.
Given the degraded state of this drive, I have no reason to suspect that entering target disk mode and mounting to my MBP would bear any fruit... looks like this sucker is beyond hope. Yay...
I will not be re-installing Lion until at least .2 comes out at this point.. I can't afford a wasted day like this again.

Solaris 10u6 fresh install - can't get Solaris Management Console working

Hey guys,
I have been searching all over but can't seem to find any help on getting SMC working. I have a fresh install of Solaris 10u6 on a Sun Fire V20z.

There is no Solaris Management Console Server running on localhost.2)
If I login from my laptop with X11 forwarding on, and launch the graphical interface, it does come up with the main window that says "Solaris Management Console 2.1" and the "Open Toolbox" window. However, in the Open Toolbox window it says "Server Not Running"
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, since svcs says that wbem is running... I'm pretty new to Solaris, working hard to get up to speed, so I'd really appreciate any help you guys could offer.
Thanks,
Jamie

For some reason it was able to run once by running the command
# /etc/init.d/init.wbem start
But no matter what I do, I can't get it to work one lick with
# svcadm enable wbem
Any ideas guys?

Solaris Developer Edition Install / Other (many problems, need help!).

I've tried installing Solaris on two different desktops (1GB ram, 3-year old processors), one Dell PowerEdge 2650 server (1GB Ram, 2800 MHZ processor), and a brand new, three month old Dell laptop (Pentium Dual-Core, 2 GB RAM).
The server install appears to have worked fine at first. However.... it will often just freeze up after having been running awhile. I've never seen it do this while I am actively working with it, but if I leave it on overnight, it will always be unresponsive the next morning. Besides the inability to get a monitor output, even a SSH terminal remoted into it will stop taking commands (no error message). This has quite stumped me. It should not be an issue with memory to my knowledge - on a custom install for it, I gave it 14 GB for swap space.
The two older desktops I tried it on had negative results. The first I don't have to worry about it dying overnight - it does that quite well throughout the day. Basically.... GNOME keeps throwing exceptions throughout the day using the desktop, and I am theorizing the system is not powerful enough to run the operating system.
The second..... doesn't even get it installed. It can run the latest Ubuntu without problem (what it was running previously), but the install fails on the machine. The first sign of something being wrong is that it hits 69% installation complete in two hours.... then slows to a snail's pace. Two days later, it finishes the install and states that it failed and cannot run in default configuration. Looking over the log from the details button didn't really show me what happened, and it would not load upon reboot.
The laptop fairs even worse. I select to install "Solaris Express", it does the dot loading screen, prints out "Solaris OS 5.11 Version snv_70b <clipped> Use is subject to license terms.", and then..... stops. It won't go any further in the installation process.
While this is a great deal to read, I am hoping for help with a best plan of action (ie. I'd be happy if one of the four would work). Basically..... any suggestions on how to solve any of the problems listed above, or any theories as to what the problem might be. Thanks in advance!

Any clue ?

Oh, I noticed this is a net install.
Take a look at this:

Kinda a crap answer but give it a try - and still contact Sun Support to see what they say.
