Solaris 8 install on ultra 10

I'm trying to do a custom install. Towards the ends of the process (i.e. after CD 2 of 2 & Supplement CD have been used) I get a banner about Enterprise 10000 & then a prompt for info about the speed of my CPU. The info requested includes:
1. what is the interconnect frequency?
2. What is the clock multiplier?
Then I get request for info relating to the SSP (e.g what platform is on the box & is this the main SSP for the system)..
Does anyone know what this all means? Are there any relevant docs?

boot -s
pkgrm all packages that have SUNWssp in them or,
Re-install, starting with disk 1 of 2. If you need to use anything from the "Supplemental" CD use the custom install from that CD and only select what you need.
Using the Installer CD to begin your installation will select all SSP (System Service Processor for the E10k) packages if you answer yes to additional software.

Error while installing Oracle Ultra Search on DB for IDM

Dear All,
I need to install IDM-101401 on HPUX B.11.31 Itanium machine. i installed database (10201) and applied Patchset_10204. as a pre-requisite now i am trying to install Oracle Ultra Search (on the same oracle_home) from companion directory of DB10201 Disk1. i amended oraparam.ini to support B.11.31 before running installer.
After 83% of installation progress, below error is thrown.

few doubts
Is it possible to go ahead for IDM installation without having ultra search enabled in database?
any other way around that i can have ultra search?
after applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
Thanks,

my guess was correct. the issue was last point.
After applying patchset on basic version(10201) i am installing ultra search from basic version (as patchset doesnt have companion dir) on upgraded version(10204) causing this issue?
it was resolved by uninstalling DB, and again installing from basic version (10201) then went to companion CD, installed ultrasearch on same oracle_home. it got installed without any issue.
then upgraded to 10204. then created DB, and enabled ultrasearch by DBCA.
let me know in case of more details required.

Solaris Install (Sparc) cannot find disk

When I do a 'boot cdrom' from the OK prompt, it goes through installation, but stops about 50% in saying 'no disk detected, check connection, etc..'
There is a disk, and the installed hard drive was formatted using a command string in linux by the vendor, but the Solaris install doesn't see it.
Any ideas?

jkcwong, is that the message:
<pre>
SunOS Secondary Boot version 3.00
prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem
Entering boot debugger:
[12ff05]:
</pre>
you get when you boot from the DCA floppy? According to some sun
engineer that's a
solaris bug (bug
4344312), and the upcomming patches
108822-02 / 110930-01 are expected to fix this problem.
Since the problem is ACPI related, perhaps your bios has an option to
disable ACPI support?

Solaris 8 in ultra 2 got panic and auto reboot when install Oracle software

Dear all,
I installed Solaris 8 by selecting 'Entire Solaris Software Group' and select 32 bit support only in an old ultra II machine. Then I tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 in the same machine but machine always got panic and started auto reboot when Oracle installed about 17% or 20% or even 70% (I tried install the minimum of Oracle).
What is the problem? Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance,
Vicky

I think you need to check the parameters like SHMMAX etc in /etc/system file as recommanded by oracle if not already added you need to add them .Oracle manuals have a list of these parameters and don't forget to reboot and boot with boot -r after adding these parameters.
Make sure you have sufficient memory or some patch recommanded by Oracle .

Solaris 8 Install on Ultra 5

Hello,
I have an Ultra 5 with SunOS 5.8 installed. There is one 9Gb internal disk. I am installing Solaris 8 on the Ultra5 and get the following errors repeatedly for different Requested Blocks. They start after the "- Reboot After Installation?" page is confirmed..(last step on disk 1 of install cds). The system is meant to configure its disk here but this error starts.....
WARNING:/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/sd@2,0 (sd0):

It looks like you're trying to boot from cdrom, or the cdrom is involved here as "vendor: LG" is usually the cdrom. What does probe-ide, devalias and printenv boot-device show you at the ok prompt? It is unusual for (sd0) to be sd@2,0

Ethernet problems installing Solaris 10 on Ultra 5

I am trying to install on a Sun Sparc Ultra 5 which I have inherited. The machine booted up OK with Solaris 7 with the old user's set up, but I do not have his ids or passwords.
When I try to install Solaris 10, early in the boot it comes up with "attempting to configure interface hme0..."
the a wait for a while then "Skipped interface hme0"
The network is OK and so is the cable - I checked them by swapping the leads with my lap top which could access the network fine.
I then went through and selected the language (English), selected 'networked', 'dhcp' then 'IPv6' then it comes up with "just a moment" then a long wait before "Could not contact a dhcp server on network interface hme0"
The dhcp server on the University network was fine.
I would be very grateful for any ideas or suggestions.
Many thanks,
Chris.

Christian,
The integrated NIC may or may not be working.
I'm going to presume you have a Sun keyboard, a Sun mouse and a monitor connected.
I'm also going to presume, unless you tell us otherwise, that you have never worked with Sun systems, before this Ultra-5.
Boot the system.
Just as you see a signal successfully activate the monitor, hold the STOP key and press the letter "A".
This stop-a sequence will halt the boot process and leave you at OpenBoot. Your screen prompt will the the word OK
There are many tests that you can perform at OBP, without invoking any OS. For today's tasks, you can prepare the chassis for a network circuit test.
Do ...
 OK set-defaults <enter>
OK setenv auto-boot? false <enter> (note the question mark character)
OK reset-all <enter>
Those three items will clear the OBP of any confusing or customized settings, then it will prepare the chassis to always stop automatically at the OK prompt, then it will write your choices to the PROM and reboot the system.
You can reset the auto-boot? back to true when you are finished.
After the reboot it should automatically stop at OK.
If it does not do so, then you had a typo in your commands.
Type sifting watch to be presented with all the command syntax that includes the word "watch". Find the network test that checks for connectivity.
Do ...
OK watch-net <enter>
If the Ethernet port has link to a valid network, you will see dots scroll along. An occasional 'X' is a lost packet.
You can download the 211+ page PDF file for the OBP 3.x command reference from Sun's documentation site, Docs.Sun.Com.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1140.2?q=openboot+command+ reference
This is all described in that PDF.

Install Solaris 8 on Ultra Sparc 5

Hello! All
I am trying to format my hard Drive which running on Solaris 7 and install Solaris 8. Could someone tell me the step by step process(in detail) to finish this job?
Thanks
John

at the <ok> prompt,
boot cdrom -s
when you get the # prompt, type format. select the disk you want to put S8 on, I guess it will be c0t3d0...
select format again from within the format menu and this will format your disk..
When this is done, shutdown and then boot from S8 cd and just follow the 'noddy' instructions to load S8.

rebooting...
Resetting ...
PS: I have recently reset the NVRAM on this machine not sure if there are any env settings I should have setup in OBP (I reset HOST ID and MAC-ADDRESS).

disk@0,0:a is slice/partition 0
disk@0,0:b is slice/partition 1
I'm not sure where you told it your swap slice was going to be. Looks like slice 1. Mini-root gets installed in slice 1 and then the install begins from there.
In the future, if you just "boot cdrom" from disk 1 of 2 you won't run into these issues.

Trouble installing Solaris 10 on Ultra 5!

Got this free U5 and just today I received a keyboard and mouse I had bought on eBay. So I went ahead and tried to install and didn't even know how to boot from CD (I am totally new to Sun hardware). So after googling a bit I have gotten as far as the point where after booting from CD and filling out all the necessary information like hostname locale etc,I select the standard disk layout without preserving data (thinking that this way a brand new drive layout will be created) and every time it seems like the installation begins but then upon reboot the system says that "the file loaded does not appear to be executable" and it just hangs at the ok prompt.
This workstation has 256 RAM and the cpu is a 360IIi,Openboot 3.25 and an IDE disk 8.4 Gb in size.
I am stumped at this point since I am actually pretty good when it comes to Windows and OS X but this hardware/software is totally new to me and at this point I need some concrete steps to resolve this and get it installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,jenny. So it works the same way as OS X,then. Now I am again attempting to install and so far I have specified host name,ip addres and default route,set it to no kerberos,no remote services enabled,country,locale etc also have been set. I specified the default install;then it went into initializing system,loaded media and after a while I get the license screen,I select to install entire distribution after which I am presented with a screen asking me to identify the disk where I wish to install.
There is only one disk that I see ( c0t0d0) and if I press F4 to customize I am given the choice of selecting a boot device as follows :
Original boot disk:
[ ] c0t0d0s0
[ ] c0t0d0s1
[ ] c0t0d0s2
[ ] c0t0d0s3
[ ] c0t0d0s4
[ ] c0t0d0s5
[ ] c0t0d0s6
[ ] c0t0d0s7
[ x ] Any of the above
I think this is where I am getting stuck.I sthere anything I need to do specifically at this point?I am going to leave the machine sitting at this screen for the time being. Thank you all for your help...
After a few minutes it rebooted all by itself and showed a scrolling screen fulls of errors and it seemed to have something about a memory DIMM_could this be bad memory after all???

Solaris 8 on Ultra 2 Enterprise installation problem...

I've a Sun Ultra 2 Enterprise with dual 200 Mhz UltraSPARC I and I tried to install Solaris 8, I download the binaries from Sun site and I burnt the CDs. Insert them in the CDROM drive, I type "boot cdrom", the installation started and it started also the grafical interface, the mouse doesn't work (the cursor still in the center of the screen) and appear a Console windows that asks if Solaris should use the slice c0t0d0s1 for swap, but the keybord (I use a type 5C keyboard and mouse) don't write, so I can't type "yes", but STOP+A works and on OPB I can write.
In the end, on the grafical interface of installation mouse doesn't work and I can't write (works only STOP, arrows, ecc...)
Thanks, Paolo.

Well, to install the box you could type
boot cdrom - install w
that will give you the textbased install GUI if you are booting from Solaris CD 1/2 . You might have to get a working mouse later, but this will at least install the OS for you.

Solaris 8 on Ultra 5

I would like to know what the mimimum hardware requirements are for installing Solaris 8 on a Ultra-5.

Here are the minimums as listed at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ds/ds-sol8oe
System Requirements
SPARC (32- and 64-bit) or Intel Architecture (32-bit) platforms
Disk space: 600 Mbytes for desktops; one Gbyte for servers
Memory: 64 Mbytes minimum
Were you thinking about a specific minimum on the Ultra 5?

Installation of Solaris 10 in Ultra 5

I am a new guy to Ultra 5. I would like to install Solaris to this machine. Anyone can show me the steps to do that? or any documents on the net I can refer to? Great thanks in advance.

I assume you have a non-modified Ultra 5. Therefore it will only accept CDs not the DVD distribution of Solaris. If you have CDs that is great, if not download them from www.sun.com/solaris although these will need to be burnt at 2x or 4x or 8x, no faster, because else it causes booting problems.
Put in the first CD and then press STOP and A at the same time on your Sun Type 6 keyboard, and then type
boot cdromIf you are doing an install via a null modem cable, youll need to set a sequence rather than using STOP A.
From then just follow the on screen instructions, hope this helps. You will most probably need to understand a bit about UNIX disk systems and the Solaris Disk System and naming conventions. Google this and you should find some decent documentation at docs.sun.com ;-)

Solaris 9 404 Upgrade to Solaris 10 on Ultra 10

I tried to do a Solaris 9 404 Upgrade to Solaris 10 on my Ultra 10 with SVM mirrored system drives and it wouldn't get past the Upgrade Profile Initialisation section. It stayed there for a long time, maybe 20 minutes and finally came up with a Failed screen. It compalined about a missing device name, said it couldn't find root or boot and mentioned something about filesystem backups.
Is an upgrade from tis configuration really supported?
Ultra 10 440MHZ 768MB RAM. Dual 73GB SCSI mirrored with SVM system drives. One 120GB IDE media drive. There is only a main and a swap partition on the system drive ie everything is in /.
Am currently backing up the data I want from the system drives prior to attempting an initial install but I'd obviously prefer to upgrade the system and keep the SVM filesystems as they are.
Nick ([email protected])

I would break your mirror and do a liveupgrade on the available mirror. Then boot that disk.

Solaris 10 on Ultra 10 Sparc

I tried to install Solaris 10 on my Ultra 10, and there seemed to be 2 partitions, each of which had ~4100 MB, which is not e enough for Solaris 10 (requires about 5GB).
During install, there was about 4096 MB allotted to a */ partition and 4096 allotted to a / partition. The auto-layout method would not let me collapse the two. Is there a workaround, or should I just plug in a new SCSI. Last, since the Ultra is IDE, can't I just install an IDE SCSI from a local computer store?
Thx,
lep

morgair suggested:
" +If you are going to invest in an IDE you can get a decent one with 200+ GB for about 60 to 70 dollars.+ "
That's all fine and good, but your Ultra 10's onboard IDE controller is not 48bit capable.
It wil not recognize more than 137GB of such a drive.
http://www.48bitlba.com/index.htm
For internal disks in such a system
(designed in 1997, first shipped in 1998 and EOL'd in 2002)
I suggest you stay with 120GB or smaller drives.
Additionally, if the OBP is down-rev,
you'll have problems having it recognizing drives of "today's" sizes.
Consider:
Install a core Solaris 10 to the 8GB disk.
Get something+ functional.
Update the OBP from that OS environment.
Then replace the disk with something larger
and reinstall to whatever you want to do.
You could take the 8GB and slave it as a data disk in some PeeCee, somewhere.

Solaris 8 install on ultra 10
