Solaris 10x86 and grub, bootloading and how to add new disk

In the latest version of Solaris 10 (1/06) it now uses grub to do the bootloading.
I cannot get grub to create a new partition on my new second disk.
BIOS sees my disk.
At first "format" would not see the disk. I ran "reboot -- -r" to fix this.
Now, I go into the grub shell with /boot/grub/bin/grub and attempt to run "partnew" -- the grub command to add partitions. It fails.
One of the arguments for 'partnew' is TYPE. However, I've googled my fingers to death, and nowhere can I find out what number I should use in type. The grub docs only say it should be a number between 0 and 0xff.
I want to multi-partition the second disk for linux/solaris/and or windows.
What if I take out disk1 containing solaris, move disk2 into that slot, then insert the windows installation cd and let it partition the disk.? Then put it back in slot 2....

Why are you trying to partition the disk with 'grub'? Since you've completed the installtion you can use 'fdisk' directly.
However I wouldn't bother. I'd just let the installer of whatever OS you're putting on do the right thing. Either Linux or Windows could partition it as you're installing.
Then you could go back and edit grub if you needed to so that they would boot properly.
This page talks about multibooting some different operating systems. You dont need to use it as a recipe, but you might find some of the concepts handy.

    Hi,
    First upload the file into an internal table. If you are using a file that is on application server. Use open dataset and close dataset.
    Then :
    Loop at it.
    *insert or modify as per your requirement.
    Endloop.

  • How to add new currency in ORCO and ORBO

    Hi, I have successfully install ORCO, ORBO and ORPOS. I followed Implementation Guide, Volume 1 – Implementation Solutions to add new currency in ORPOS.
    But I still do not know how to add new currency in CO and BO.
    I try to use import parameter feature in ORCO and ORBO to import xml, the result said "Success" but there is no changes.
    Please help show how I could achieve this.

    I change the FL_CNY_BASE into 1 already. POS is OK now. But BO is not regconize that there is a new currency. I'm trying to go to
    Admin -> Job Manager -> Available Import -> Import BackOffice Parameters
    and try to import xml file that contain belowing content.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <CurrencyImport xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="CurrencyImport.xsd" Priority="0" FillType="FullIncremental" Version="1.0" Batch="1" CreationDate="2001-12-17T09:30:47.0Z" ExpirationDate="2027-12-17T09:30:47.0Z">
    <!-- Example of adding a Currency. -->
    <Currency ChangeType="ADD" ISOCode="MYR" IssuingCountryCode="MY" Name="MYR" IssuingCountryNationality="Malaysian" IsBaseCurrency="true" Scale="2" Priority="0" />
    <ExchangeRate ChangeType="ADD" CurrencyCode="MYR" MinimumAmount="0.00" EffectiveDate="2008-05-26" ExpirationDate="2050-06-02" ToBuyAmount="2" ToSellAmount="2" ServiceFeeAmount="0.00" />
    </CurrencyImport>
    The result said it success but I still cannot see any change.
    Is there is any other things I should make change at BO? Any property file that I should make change? BO and CO is web application so the structure of files are not the same as POS. I can't following the same thing when I had made with POS for BO and CO.
    Thanks for you helping

  • How to add new UI(buttons,checkbox) item in preexisting option dialog and extension in indesign?

    I want to add new UI item in preexisting option dialog and Extension what i have to do ??
    eg:if i select interactivity sub menu item in object menu than I select change to button and in this dialog I want add new menu with the add to object menu(at the bottom) or new input text field .
    for doing such is there any api available to access  there inbuilt dialog or panel or any scripting solution ??

    This doesn't look possible. To define a Dialog or a panel, you need to add the resource definitions of the required widgets to the resource definition of the Dialog/Panel. Duplication of a resouce gives errors on compilation. I might be wrong as I'm new to plug-in developemnt, but most likely this will not be possible.

    Thanks,
    Ninad

    Hello,
    I think of something like:
    First, you create extension, with transaction WE30.
    Then, reduce your idoc, your extension should also be proposed.
    Do not forget to add this extension in outbound we82, and/or we57 in inbound, and WE20, and find BTE or exit to populate extension.

  • How to add new line in message on my S890

    My stock keyboard in Lenovo S890 doesn't have enter key, is this normal ? How to add new line ?
    However this happened only in messages, while using whatsapp the enter key present.

    Hi,
    the fact that your question is posted in Order Management section, does the move order automatically generated by OM?
    nevertheless, i don't think you should (or allowed, in this case) to add a new line in transact move order. Transact move order only queries (not create records) the move order lines eligible to allocate and transact.
    So, I don't see why you need to add a new line in transact move order.
    You can, however, add a new line in the allocation of the lines, where for instance, you need to have half of the line allocated to one locator, and the other half to another locator
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I presume you are talking about a report display in ALV and u wish to add a column to it .
    If it is a global requirement ,as in table being used there in ALV can be modified, then you can append the table and the system should pick up the same automatically from there.
    Otherwise , you can make a Z program . Modify the catalog being used in ALV.

  • 11.5.9/OAF 5.7 : how to add new fields in iProc "search results" page

    We need to add new fields into iProc "search results" page - "Personalize Self-Service Defn" is et, we can enter the personalization screens (from both the "master" link at top/right page level or from the link above the region) - anyway cannot find how to add new fields. Do we have to go to AK developer and/or XML files or is it feasable from OAF (as it is with 11510) ? TIA.

    It depends on what fields you want to add.
    1. If Oracle has included the fields, just render them via personalizations
    2. If they are brand new fields:
    a) you will need to extend the VO (I do not know the exact name).
    b) change the query to get your extra db columns if necesary
    c) add transient attributes to the VO and map them to b).
    d) Then you need to add the items via personalization and map them to the attributes you created in c)
    Check on metalink for the lates version of OAF Dev Guide and Personalization guide.
    Thanks

  • How to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)

    hi
    can any one tell me how to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)
    i want to add expenses field to system a/r invoice form and connect data base also.
    i used the code of samples\11.system form manipulation(vb.net) but i'm not able to get it....so can any one help with code or concepts.
    reply soon plz..
    thankQ

    If I understood you correctly, you are just trying to add new fields to the invoice form and then use them in your form. you should first go and add the field to your tables, which you would do by going to Tool --> User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields. There are different documents or categories given. For ex. for invoices, Sales Orders you would add your field under the Marketing Documents. If you want the field to be just one per invoice, add it to the Title, otherwise if you want a field per invoice or Sales Order line, add it to the Rows section. Once you have done that then you can just create a edit box or drop down to represent the field and set the datasource for that to your field. If you want example code to do that, let me know.

  • How to add new fields in asset master data

    i was wonder if anyone knows how to add new fields that arent defined in the asset master data.
    Thanks.
    Pedro

    Hi Pedro,
    SAP allows entering upto 8 fields on the asset master. These fields are called 'Evaluation group'. Out of 8, 4 are four character long and others are 8 character long.
    You can configure them @ the following 3 nodes in IMG:
    Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Master Data-->User Fields: Define 4-Character Evaluation Groups & Define 8-Character Evaluation Groups & Change Key Words in the Evaluation Groups.

    There is no function module for that, We have created our own function module and attached to that field.
    Refer the below code. This will fetch the document number.
