Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart and console

How do you get Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart to redirect it's output to the console? I have an X4500 that I'm trying to jumstart while logged into the ILOM console. Everything will crap out, and all output will go to the VGA port.

Yes... I've seen and used the grub -b switches for input-device and output-device and this does change the way certain things work. However, this does not redirect input and output solely to the console, as you would, lets say, any sparc box. I start a jumpstat process, tell it to go to the console, and it hangs and waits for input from the VGA device. Right now, I have an odd interaction going on between the ILOM webgui redirection and the console. I can't login through the webgui and reboot the box through the console, nor can I hit CTRL+N to get it to boot off the network when I have the ILOM Webgui redirected to my keyboard. But when it boots off the virtual CD, or if I use the console to get into the BIOS, then and only then can I use my keyboard in the ILOM Webgui.
There is some sort of odd interaction between the console and that stupid VGA port on the ILOM that is not explained in ILOM docs that I have read. And that is what this post is trying to figure out. When you jumpstart a sparc box, you have total control from the console. This is not the case on x86.
Please re-read my other post before you comment on double posting. Both are about x86 jumpstart. One is about console redirection (this post). The other post is asking about getting jumpstart NOT to go through an interactive install through the -b switches. Two separate issues.

  • Solaris X86 Jumpstart slow

    I'm trying to jumpstart a Sun x4240 and during the boot up when it runs the install-discovery script, the server goes very very slow. It will eventually move past this part, but only after many hours. The server has 4 disks, which I have setup on the raid controller as JBOD's, we are not using the RAID functions of the card at all.
    It seems the longest time is taken when running the the the script /boot/solaris/bin/create_diskmap, which is mostly this:
    /sbin/biosdev 2> /dev/null | while read diskno diskpath
    do
    devname=`/bin/ls -l /dev/rdsk/*p0 | /bin/grep $diskpath | /bin/nawk '{ print $9 }'`
    ctdname=`echo $devname | /bin/sed "s#/dev/rdsk/##" | /bin/sed "s#p0##"`
    grubdisk=`echo $diskno | /bin/sed "s/0x8//"`
    echo "$grubdisk $ctdname $diskpath" >> "$GRUBDISKMAP"
    done
    Then once it gets past this part (many hours) it hangs again around this part:
    # x86 config cleanup logic
    if [ -x /usr/sbin/install.d/atconfig ]; then
         /usr/sbin/install.d/atconfig
    fi
    Atconfig is described thusly:
    Besides ON changes there are changes needed in the
    Install consolidation. When you boot the Solaris CD/DVD,
    the atconfig binary is run that searches the disk for
    kernel/misc/sysinit file and copies this to
    /tmp/root/kernel/misc/sysinit so the
    svc_serial.c code from Suninstall can try to preserve the
    hostid during an upgrade and even an install. We need
    to modify this code to also search for /etc/hostid and preserve
    it. However, for older systems we also need to search for
    kernel/misc/sysinit for those systems that have hostid stored
    there, and convert the hostid in sysinit into a hostid in /etc/hostid.
    There was no contract between ON and Install for sysinit;
    we now have a contract in place between the two consolidations
    for Install's use of /kernel/misc/sysinit and /etc/hostid.
    The server installs fine during a normal DVD install. I'm not sure what else to do on this. If anyone has any guidance that would be great.

    Yes... I've seen and used the grub -b switches for input-device and output-device and this does change the way certain things work.

  • How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

    Hello people,
    I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
    If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
    In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
    It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
    /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
    I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
    At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
    Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
    Thanks

    my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
    could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well. It autodetects OS type and will install Solaris packages or RPMs as appropriate.

    Hi
    From the Unix prompt enter oemapp console(for v9.x). If you are using earlier versions it is oemapp console (for starting the console) and oemapp dbastudio(for starting dba studio)
    For starting OMS enter: oemctrl start oms.

    Code that links with Oracle 9i libraries should be able to be linked with Instant Client 10gR2.

  • Fdisk, jumpstart, and x86boot

    When I do an Interactive install of Solaris 8 from CD, I end up with a working system, but when I do my jumpstart install with no fdisk commands in the install profile, I end up with a system that says "bad PBR sig" upon rebooting.
    I added fdisk commands to the profile to create the x86boot and Solaris partitions, and the install did in fact create the partitions, however it still came up with the "bad PBR sig" error after the install. So my question is: What am I doing wrong in the profile?
    Does anybody have a working profile that will take a system on which you do not want to preserve any existing data, install an x86boot partition and a Solaris partition, and end up with a system that boots to Solaris successfully?
    (The documentation about the fdisk keywords in the profile that I found on docs.sun.com don't seem to be helping me on this issue.)
    Hopefully,
    Lusty

ZFS integrates its own volume management and you can easily construct stripe, mirrored, raidz (raid5), raidz2 (=raid 6) zpool.
    For exemple to add a disk mirror to your rpool pool, you just have to do a "zpool add rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0"

  • Does Form6i/Report6i support Solaris x86?

    There is only Form6i and Report6i for SunSparc and no Solaris version for x86.

  • Solaris 10 x86 PXE and jumpstart using Linux DHCP server !!

    Hi,
    I am trying to get a my Solaris 10x86 jumpstart rolling.
    I have created the images for the OS, but the only issue I have ahead is using a Linux box as a DHCP server for my X86 box to get the image.
    Is it possible to have a linux host that serves as a dhcp server to jumstart X86 host with Sol 10 x86
    or do I need to have a solaris host that runs DHCP service on it.
    Any advice on this issue.
    Thanks.

    Well, if you don't think the online Documentation helpful, then the better way is reading step-by-step instructions from a book. Get to local bookstore, i.e Barne&Nobles or Border or any big local bookstore, there should be pretty good book for Unix Administrator (Solaris version).
    If you have time and think you can memorize then, read on the spot; otherwise, buy the book for future reference.
    If that's not what you had in mind, then this link of free online book might help : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/solaris8/chapter/ch04.html
    Normally, oreilly online bookstore offers free books to accredited universities, colleges, and organizations. However, if that option isn't for you, it might even offer free sample chapters that might just suit your needs.
    hoep it helps.

  • Solaris 10 x86 JumpStart install not working

    I'm working with several Compaq DL380 servers.
    I've installed Solaris 10 x86 3/05 onto DL380 #1, and created a 3GB servername.flar Flash Archive of that system.
    I've moved that .flar file to a local web server. I can bring it up in any host's browser on the local subnet, and am able to download the .flar file.
    Now, on DL380 #2, I can install Solaris from CDs and open Mozilla and download the 3GB .flar file to /tmp. So, it is reachable. However, if I do a re-install, and this time specify a JumpStart install via HTTP, entering the URL that works, the install program tells me that it can't find a Flash Archive there. I'm entering the URL as http:/10.20.30.40/servername.flar, where 10.20.30.40 is the local web server. This is the same URL that works on other local hosts. (i.e. going to http:/10.20.30.40/ brings up the list of files, and a right-click on servername.flar gives you the option to download it, which I've tried and it does work - it takes a few hours, but it works)
    I tried HTTPS first and when I encountered this issue I reconfigured the web server for just HTTP. Then I thought the Flash archive must require a .flar filename extension (I had originally called it servername.archive) so I created a new Flash archive with a .flar extension - servername.flar.
    So, the same system, when installed from CDs, can access the web server and download the .flar file, but when re-installing and specifying the same URL it can't find it. I'm giving the DL380 #2 the same IP, same netmask, etc.. when doing the re-install.
    I can't think of anything else to try. Any ideas?
    thanks!

  • Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart installing from cd instead of install server

    Hi all,
    I am building a Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart server and was able to jump the client to a certain point. The jump appears to be running but for some reason stops after the first CD ( very peculiar considering the jumpstart is automated). After watching the jump, I discover that the install is using my CD to install rather than from the install server. It is, however, getting the sysidcfg info, rules and profiles from my install server. I booted from CD and then selected Custom Jumpstart to install via the network. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Here is my add_install_client command:
    /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06/Solaris_10/Tools/add_install_client -s server1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06 -c server1:/jumpstart -p server1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg host1 i86pc

  • Warning: Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart (grub) from Solaris 8 server

    Hi all,
    I'm just posting this here in case someone comes across the same problem I did.
    When trying to do a custom jumpstart installation on x86 boxes from a Solaris 8 SPARC server, Grub was failing to do TFTP of the "multiboot" and "x86.miniroot" files. A snoop of the traffic would reveal some "TFTP Error: not defined" packets.
    Turns out this is a known bug:
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6395719-1
    The bug doesn't make any reference to jumpstart, and because of this it took me a while to find it.
    I copied the in.tftpd binary from a Solaris 9 box, and it worked like a charm. (Would it be very difficult to issue a Solaris 8 patch?)
    kind regards,

    Here is the error output:
    # ./add_install_client -i 192.168.1.51 -c sun1:/jumpstart/ -p sun1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg/Solaris_10-intel/ host2 i86pc

  • Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart TFTP error not defined!!!!

    I have a solaris 10 jumpstart sparc that does all x86 installs. Until now it has been working fine. I now have to jumpstart two new clients a sun X4200 and an X2100. However I cannot get past the loading of the miniroot. It finds the menu.lst.MACRONAME ok, I see the Solaris 10 jumpstart title and then all I see is a number of dots appearing on the client screen and then nothing.
    From the snoop I only get TFTP Error: Not Defined. I have logged a call with Sun but no luck there as yet! Does anyone have any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance

    Yes, the current x86 miniroot from sol 10 06/06 does not contain all the necessary drivers for the X2100 which is an amd64. So it is either unpacking the miniroot and repacking it with the appropriate drivers that are contained in the SUNWnge package or do the manual install and then add them from the supplementary cd that contains these specific drivers. SUN has recorded the incident and they will fix it with the next releases I have been told.

  • Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart Server

    I have setup everything just like in this document:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5506/6mkv6kia5?a=view
    The client machine that I am trying to jumpstart connects fine, shows" 38800" as the prompt and then just stops. After running "snoop" on the server, I discovered that it connects to it and communicates some data then does some "PRINTER" commands. This is illustrated below (note "titan" is the name of the computer to be jumpstarted and "server" is of course the jumpstart server):
    server -> titan TFTP Data block 419 (512 bytes)
    titan -> server TFTP Ack block 419
    server -> titan TFTP Data block 420 (512 bytes)
    titan -> server TFTP Ack block 420
    server -> titan TFTP Data block 421 (480 bytes) (last block)
    titan -> server TFTP Ack block 421
    OLD-BROADCAST -> (broadcast) RARP C Who is 0:3:ba:1d:bd:32 ?
    server -> titan RARP R 0:3:ba:1d:bd:32 is 172.20.4.2, titan
    titan -> BROADCAST BIFF R port=111
    server -> titan BIFF C port=32771
    titan -> (broadcast) ARP C Who is 172.20.4.0, server ?
    server -> titan ARP R 172.20.4.0, server is 0:6:5b:e7:ad:73
    titan -> server WHO R port=32808
    server -> titan WHO C port=32808
    titan -> server SYSLOG R port=32808
    server -> titan SYSLOG C port=32808 BAD.FMT:
    titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
    server -> titan PRINTER C port=2049
    titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
    titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
    server -> titan PRINTER C port=2049
    server -> titan PRINTER C port=2049
    titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
    titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
    It will then keep doing these "PRINTER" commmands forever. Everythings is setup like it should be, but when the client connects, it just sits there with no error, yet no packages install. It doesn't timeout with the waiting for ARP/RARP either. What is wrong? Any help is much appreciated.

    Note that this is a Solaris 10 x86 606 build. I think it might have something to do with the fact that its 606.
