Solaris 8 container install problem using Ultra 60 flash archive

Hi
I have an M4000 configured with a Solaris 8 container.
I am using a flash archive from an Ultra 60.
Below is the problem when I install.
# zoneadm -z f714clone install -u -a /var/flar/fid714_20090515.flar
Log File: /var/tmp/f714clone.install.26921.log
Source: /var/flar/fid714_20090515.flar
Installing: This may take several minutes...
Postprocessing: This may take several minutes...
WARNING: zone did not finish booting.
Last entry in the logfile is...
[Fri May 15 12:21:22 BST 2009] Postprocess: Performing zone sys-unconfig
It just sits at the WARNING doing nothing.
I connected to the container console using "zlogin -C f714clone" but this just gives me a blank screen with no output and unable to do anything.
I used a different archive from a V120 and had no problems.
Is there something I need to configure for a Ultra 60.
Thanks in advance.
Steve.

I got this to work. It seems, for whatever reason, that it doesn't like the '-u' flag for an Ultra 60. I installed using '-p' instead and it was fine, it even came up with the new IP I had assinged.
zoneadm -z QeSun01b install -p -a qesun01.flar

Solaris 8 install problems on Ultra 10

I have an Ultra 10 and I am trying to install Solaris 8 on it. I have actuall real Solaris 8 CDs. I put it in the cdrom in, hit stop-a and type 'boot cdrom'. The system resets.
When it boots it I get:
Can't open /pci...etc
Can't read disk label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
Any ideas?

Solved: Replace the cdrom drive and keep trying until one boots. It took me four different cdroms.

Solaris 8 Install Problem - Partition(s)

First, I am a relative "newbie" when it comes to SUN Solaris and System Adminstration, though I know enough UNIX to be dangerous (read "get me into trouble" - hahaha).
I tried to do an "upgrade" to the O/S (2.7) on my Ultra 5, but when doing an "initial install", the system will only allow me to set the partitions/slices manually at the cylinder level. Any attempts to do so have failed, as I keep getting an "overlapping cylinder" error message, regardless of how I try to setup root, /usr, etc. The Solaris 8 O/S setup swap as follows:
Starting - 3275 Size - 1110
FYI, I was trying to do the install using the Solaris 8 CDROM, Solaris build date 2/02.
Overall, I appear to be having a lot of issues with the Seagate Medalist ST34321A (4.1 Gbyte) drive that came with my Sun Ultra 5. The drive appears to work correctly, but an attempts to "wipe out" the drive (reformat) have not met with success.
Any suggestions anyone can provide regarding the install problem would be appreciated.

If you are trying to Upgrade to Sol 8 it is strongly suggested that you do not use the Installation CD. Use CD 1 of 2 with a boot cdrom. You will have to answer the sysid questions and then should get prompted for Initial Install or Upgrade. If you do not get the Upgrade prompt then there is a problem with your original Sol 7 system. Things like nfs mounts in vfstab, links to /var/sadm/patch, pkg or install/contents.
An Upgrade should not be asking you to lay out filesystems. It should use your existing ones.

Solaris 9 U7 (2004/09) MultiLayered Flash Archive issue + solution ?

In Solaris 9 Update 7 (2004/09) the multilayered flash archive installation feature is broken.
I think that this is a known issue:
4945516 Failure of multi-layered archive with Solaris 9 4/03 on Postdeployment process
I manage to flash my archives by changing the following statement found at line 24 of the file
../Solaris_9/Tools/Boot/usr/lib/flash/postdeployment_processing
from
if [ ! -L $FLASH_ROOT/etc/rc2.d/S98flash_reboot ] ; then
to
if [ -L $FLASH_ROOT/etc/rc2.d/S98flash_reboot ] ; then
This issue is addressed in the patch 113434-22
113434-22/SUNWinst/reloc/usr/lib/flash/postdeployment_processing
But the if statement is not the good one.
Is this correct ?
Coco D.

Ideas.. Hmm, none which seems that correct, but you could try some things.
If it gets the wrong IP that could explain why it fails to copy the sysidcfg file.
First you could try and do a snoop on the ethernet address;
snoop ether 0:3:ba:14:c6:cd
(you could also try the -v flag to increase the verbosity).
The things you should look for are arp/rarp requests, the jumpstart client will use arp/rarp to determine its IP address, snoop will show you which server that responds, and what address it gets, futher more its a good idea to verify that the response to the bootparams requests comes from the correct server.
Of course there might be other oddnesses as well.
Was the data you provided extracts? If it was you should check the /etc/ethers and /etc/bootparams for duplicates entries, so there are no other occourances of the clients ehternet address in /etc/ethers, and no bogus entries starting with * or the same hostname in /etc/bootparams.
If you added the client manually you could always try and use the Tools/rm_install_client and Tools/add_install_client scripts to add it again, these script sometimes detect problems with the configuration.
Lastly you didn't show us your /etc/nsswitch.conf file, but i assume that it has "files" first for the ethers, hosts and bootparams entries?
Good luck

Solaris 10 install problem (requested image to big to fit into memory)

I have just downloaded the iso images and burned to disk. When I go to install I get the message (Requested image to big to fit into memory Error 28) I have 1.5GB so I don't understand the problem. Thanks in advance
It took a long time for me to figure out, but the answer is disable in BIOS memory hole at 15M to 16M. This solved the install problem with Open Solaris and quite a few more such as not being able to install Linux Zenwalk 5.0 or openSUSE 10.3. Their are others also problems I have had with Linux or UNIX that this took care of. JGZ
Edited by: jgz on Mar 8, 2008 9:13 PM

Hi,
I had been able to solve the Error 28 issue that in my case was really related to a corrupted boot image:
1. I went in the path /a/platform/i86pc
2. rm boot_archive.
3. sync
4. reboot
At this point the OS will notice the absence of the boot_image and it will regenerate it.
At the time of this operation the CD with solaris 10 was inserted in the CDROM.
When the system restarted it was able to load the OS properly.
Please use these information at your own risk. I do not accept any liablity.
Cheers

Problem using a Flash MX 2004 Progress Bar Component within a Movieclip

I'm try to setup a progress bar to show the percentage loaded
of a mp3 audio file using the Flash MX 2004 Progress bar component.
I can get the progress bar to the work normally by the having the
component on the stage (not in a movie clip) with the component set
to:
mode: polled
source loader
with the following actionscript on the layer above:
pBar.setStyle("themeColor", 0xFF0000);
var loader:Object = new Sound();
loader.loadSound("http:/www.mywebsite.co.uk/mymp3.mp3",
true);
But I won't to put the preloader inside a Movie Clip (the
movie clip is called 'content_MC') as the website has alot of
content. When I do this the mp3 file still streams but the Progress
Bar doesn't work.
I think I just need to change the action script so that it
links with the component telling it to calculate the progress of
the audio streaming file.
Am I right? Where am I going wrong?

I found the problem!!
While exploring the Fireworks MX 2004 folder located under
"C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Macromedia\"
folder I discovered that this folder was empty. So, I connected the
old hard drive and investigated the contents of the corresponding
folder on that drive. Discovering the wide assortment of files and
folders in that folder, I simply copied the contents of that folder
to the Fireworks MX 2004 folder and retried running the application
and IT WORKED!
Thanks for all your communications and in depth
troubleshooting steps, I will keep them in may Application
troubleshooting Tool Tips for future reference. I have included the
actions used here which brought about the successful resolution of
this issue so that if you'd like you might include them in any Help
Desk Methods you may have. It was truly a collaborative effort
because I would not have thought to explore the Application Data
folder to resolve this issue without you pointing me in that
direction.
Thanks again!

How to successfully install and use Adobe Flash Player on an iMac?

I have the latest OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. It makes actually several years that I have not been able to view videos that use Adobe Flash Player. This is true of several sports websites I like such as ATPtour.com and ESPN.com. A few days ago I have upgraded my OS to the most current one. And, I retried downloading Adobe Flash Player and it made no difference. I tried to see the videos using numerous different browzers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) with no success.
I know Steve jobs hated Adobe Flash Player because it was so inefficient. But, I thought one could still use it with Mac computers. Are you guys having as much difficulty as I am? If not what are the solutions to running Adobe Flash Player? Thank you in advance for your information.

I need further instruction on how to install and use adobe flash.

I'm using Ubuntu, I think version 11.2, I think it's a form of linux.. Maybe 64 bit? I have no flashplayers that I know of, I've never installed any before. I use firefox only.
On the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html "Flashplayer in 3 Seps" The box below step 1 is empty.
When I proceed with step 2, I remain totally clueless as to which version I should pick, so I picked .rpm for other lunux, clicked download, and a window opens asking me to either "open with" Archive Manager, or "Save File."
I have absolutely no idea which to proceed with. I've tried both and nothing has happend. The file shows up as a package in my downloads, which I open and nothing but a folder with a "." appears...
I appologise, but I'm not computer savvy at ALL, and everywhere I go, it seems unless I use Windows or MAC, I'm supposed to know what I'm doing, and I haven't got a clue.

I tried downloading the 64 bit ubuntu, but the window that comes up asks me to choose and application with which to open it. When I check the "Installation Instructions" on http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/readme-flash-player-linux.html I simply don't understand the first two steps... "Unpack the plugin tar.gz and copy the files to the appropriate location." I don't know where the appropriate location would be, I just.. don't get it. I don't even know how to "unpack" a file... I'm really sorry, I appreciate your help, but I'm so clueless to all of this. I don't know where to begin.

Solaris 10 Install problem with SATA drives

Hi, I'm trying to install solaris 10 on a x86 system with 2 SATA drives running in a on board SATA controler (not RAID).
During install the setup fails to detect the disks, to install Windows XP I have to provide disk drivers during the setup procedure by pressing F6 and providing the drivers, alas I cannot seem to find either a way to provide SATA controler drivers to solaris, nor a suitable driver for solaris .
Any help would be extremely apreciated.

I had the same SATA problem on builds 69 and 72 of Solaris10, but the Release version recognises and installs readily on SATA drives on three mainboards that I use. They are Tyan s2875 with dual opteron cpus, Asus k8N-E with a 754 pin athlon64 cpu, and Gigabyte GA-K8NS-939 with a939 pin athlon64.
My Mandrake Linux10 says it sees the SATA drives, but never installed on them.
FreeBSD 5.3 Release for AMD64 sees the SATA and installs with no problems.
Hope this gives you some encouragement to persist

Unable either to install or use Adobe flash player v10+

I have tried numerous times to install the newest version of Flash player and can't do it. I have tried all suggestions listed by adobe and here in the forum,. have even turn off my Norton antiviruse, tired the manual install which won't do; it says I have a newer version. So in all respects it seems I am stuck.
But on the other hand am able to use it when I use Google chrome? also I can not see it listed in my programs listings.
I have Windows 7, 32bit; just upgraded to IE-9 which has been causing me some problems but I can't go back to the older version.
My computer is only about1-1/2yr old. has 4mgs of ram.
SO can anyone help. Thanks.

Hi, Just to go over a couple of things that you posted here, before you had to edit.
I think if you had not used the Administrator Account, you would have received an error message from Adobe.
Perhaps an Uninstall/Install is in order now, rather than trying to determine what went wrong.
Download the Flash Player Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then Download the Flash Player Installer for IE and SAVE it to your Desktop. Use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Then Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable Norton, and Disable any instant messenger services such as Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc. from the system tray(area near the clock)
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) the computer.
Now check and make sure Norton is still Disabled.
Then Run the Installer for IE, when finished, Reboot the computer.
Now reenable what you Disabled. Then use the test site and see if you can see the Flash Player logo animate.

Let me know if you have any questions on this.

Solaris 9 Install Problems

I am experiencing some problems on the latest release of Solaris 9 (1st non-beta, 6/03/02 downloaded). The installation seems to go smoothly, until it's finished and reboots the system. The system gets to the point:
Booting the 32 Bit OS (64 Bit on the Sun Blade 100)
and then says cannot access /etc/system and then the system goes into a panic state:
panic[cpu0]thread=1406000: read_binding_file: /etc/name_to_major file not found
01405990 genunix:read_binding++file+40 (1436ab8, 1453ecc, 7dc7c000, ffffffff
The system goes on with messages like this for a page or so and then immediately reboots. I have now tried this on two different systems (Sun Ultra 1, Sun Blade 100) Both of which appear to meet all system requirements. I have searched for this problem on google and some message boards and seen nothing like it.
My first instinct was to check the "boot-device" and it was pointing to the right disk in both cases. I can not think of anything else that would cause this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Daryl.

It sounds like somehow the installed root file system
is corrupted. Next time you install, do not select the
automatic reboot. After the install is finished, cd to /a
(where the newly installed boot drive is located
during installation) and verify that the file system
looks ok. Check /etc/system, /etc/path_to_inst, ...

X86 install problems: using rpc boot params

help! during install on an intel box, install always hangs at the same spot: "configuring /dev and /devices" then: "Using RPC Bootprams for network configuration information." and it never gets any further... after reading some of the other threads, i tried booting off cd 1 of solaris 8 software and when i do that it, after the rpc bootparams message i get: "Skipping interface elx10" and it hangs there... any ideas? any help is very much appreciated
-brian

i'm not entirely convinced the problem isn't with the bootable floppy, but when i try to make an image using dd.exe i type: "dd S28DCA0600.3 a:" and get: "S28DCA0600.3: No such file or directory" so then i tried downloading the other image file and get the same thing except with the new image file's name ("S28DCA_FCS.3"), and no, i don't know which image i should be using or why...

Free Solaris 9 Instalation Problems

Dears Sirs,
(if this is not the forum i should post this, someone could please redirect me?)
I have the following HD configuration (I'm writing dev's in Linux style because I am completly new to Solaris)
/dev/hdc <- six partitions, three are primary, one is extended and the other two are 'inside' this extended one...
/dev/hdd <- two partitions, the first is having some bad.block problems, so i'd better not touch it
I want to install Solaris on the second partition of /dev/hdd, which is my second IDE slave disk. But the instalation program looks for Solaris partitions only in /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0 (i guess this is the name)... I would rather not install it there, but in /dev/rdsk/c1d1p0 instead. But when it detects I have no Solaris partitions on hdc, the only option I have is to quit, fix the problem and latter come back to the instalation program... anyone got any clue?
Thanks in advance...
Luiz Eduardo Guida Valmont

A weird decision I made when I chose to have my HD's in the second IDE... so weird I can't remember now (I must have been asleep at that moment). Well, in fact I will change it, anyways.
I am quite versed on Linux today (in fact I only have winxp because my brother needs it - if I lived alone I would have Gentoo Linux only) and (NOTE: I have managed to access my other HD through Solaris9 install xterm and create a 4.4GB partition there, which I guess will be enough)... and when switched back to Linux today I found that Solaris9's fdisk made some changes which Linux's fdisk "didn't like", let's put it like that. I guess the logical/physical start/end of the referred partion were different. BTW, hdc is the master HD in the second IDE and hdd is the slave HD on the second IDE. I wanted to install Solaris on hdd, but I can only guess it is impossible... I have an alternative IDE scheme in mind... which is the following:
hda (master 1st ide): HD <- with Linux and WinXP
hdb (slave 1st ide): CDROM <- the one I use less
hdc (master 2nd IDE): HD <- one in which I'd install Solaris9
hdd (slave 2nd IDE): CD-WRITER <- which I use the most
With this scheme I guess I would optimize the use of the IDE's and I woudn't have a master waiting for a slave or a slave waiting for a master most of the time... well, it's guess anyways...
Anyway, isn't there a command like "/sbin/cd0_install --install-into=/dev/rsdk/c1d1p0" this???
Thanks,
Luiz Eduardo Guida Valmont

Solaris 10 Install problem on headless E250

I have tried a number of times to get the latest download to install on my headless E250 using the text installer. Most times it installs the 1st cd then reboots only to report that "the file just loaded does not appear to be executable". This is taking the default options, installing the full version, using autolayout on 2x9GB drives.
I've upgraded openboot to 3.30 I've tried installing it on different 18GB drives - I either get the same message, or the boot fails with a read-only filesystem error.
Anyone had similar problems that can point me in the right direction...
JJ

Anytime i've seen that kind of error is when there is a problem with some settings in the PROM on the system.
If you do your STOP+A to get to the OK prompt.
Next to a 'printenv' a look to see what the values are for 'boot-device' and 'diag-device'. The values normally look something like 'disk' or 'disk net'. If you install the root partition on slice 0 then the value 'disk' is fine, if you install the root partition on slice 1 the the value 'disk:b' should be there.
It might be worth trying a 'set-defaults' which will reset the PROM back to it's default values, and try the install again.
Hope this is of some use
Mick.
