Solaris 8 (Intel) safe installation ?

Hello,
I'm going to install Solaris 8 (Intel) on the disk with an existing
installation of NT 4.0. I read somewhere that this can be dangerous because Solaris instalation can damage partition table because it creates a small partition in the beginnig of the
disk... Can you help me how to install it without partition table
(and even partition ?) being damaged ?
Thanks

Sure, just back up the other OSs on that disk (make sure
that you're able to restore the other OSs from backup
in case of problems :-).
Once everything is backed up, try to install solaris.
If it works, fine...

    Can you install Oracle 9i on Solaris Intel ? 32 / 64 bit

    Hello dear people,
    I'm trying to install the 9i Database for Sun SPARC (32-bit) on an Intel machine with Solaris 8 running. I followed all steps of the installation documentation, but when I try to execute the runInstaller programm, I get always the following error:
    Syntax error at row 1: '(' unexpected.
    Can you tell me, which is actually the terminal Release for Intel Solaris? I were very pleased.

  • RFC SDK support on solaris-intel?

    I have some questions about the “C”  SAP RFC SDK. I cannot seem to find a complete list of supported UNIX platforms.
    What is the current version of the “C” RFC SDK?
    Is it supported on the solaris intel platform?
    I notice that the dynamic version of the RFC library (rfc32.dll)  is installed with SAP Netweaver on Windows.  Is the equivalent dynamically loaded library (i.e. librfc.so) always included with a SAP installation on UNIX as well?  Does this mean that the static libraries provided in the RFC SDK are no longer required to build a client RFC application, since a client application can dynamically load the run-time library instead?

    We don't certify Solaris on NT.
              You can find this information on platform support page.

    You should follow the doc that you found for solaris, the thing is that the patches and fixes for this that you would found are for the PARISC server, if you can get the same patches and fixes for your intel server, use them and if you can't start the installation process, try to run installer like runInstaller.sh -ignoresysprereqs.

  • Oracle 8i on Solaris Intel (create dabase failed!)

    Hi All,
    I having been trying to create an oracle database on my Solaris
    Intel box for a while now but the process always fails when its
    about to create the sample database. It fails with an error:
    ORA-03113 - unexpected end of channel reached.
    And then I keep getting an "Oracle not available" message.
    I am not doing anything extraordinary, just the normal
    installation.
    My guess is that there maybe something wrong in the gerenared

    Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.1
    SymptomsWhile installing Oracle10gR2 on a Solaris 10 x86-64 server, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) reports the following errors while checking the kernel parameters:
    shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295 found no entry . Failed <<
    shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 found no entry . Failed <<
    shmsys:shminfo_semmni=100 found no entry . Failed <<
    shmsys:shminfo_semmsl=256 found no entry . Failed <<
    The overall results of this check is Failed.
    The kernel parameters do not meet the minimum requirements
    CauseOUI is looking at /etc/system to check the kernel parameter settings, but this file is not used (by default) in Solaris 10
    OUI should check the kernel parameter settings using the resource control utility ( /bin/prctl )
    SolutionTo implement the solution, please execute one the following steps:
    1. Verify that the kernel parameter settings are correct using the resource control utility ( /bin/prctl ) and then start OUI like this:
    ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
    OR
    2. Include the recommended kernel parameter settings in the /etc/system file and start OUI as normal:
    ./runInstaller

  • Install Oracle on Solaris Intel

    I have purchased Oracle8i Enterprise Edition, Release 2(8.1.6) for Intel Unix(Solaris Intel), and have installed successfully. However, as soon as I shut down and reboot the machine, I can connect to sqlplus
    internal, but I cannot log into the database as "sys".
    The procedure I did is as following:
    Immediately after the installation (message says "installation successful"),
    1. Log in as user "oracle" in the Bourne shell.
    2. At the $ prompt, type "sqlplus internal"
    3. It come out with SQL prompt
    4. SQL> show user ( I typed show user under SQL prompt)
    5. Then it return "sys"
    Things seemed to work fine at that point.
    But, when I shut down and reboot the machine and logon again, and follow the same steps 1-5 as above, it did not work. When I did the "show user" command at SQL prompt, the user is not "sys", instead it returned
    " ". I followed the installation guide and tried to reinstall 5 times.
    Every time I had the same problem. I was wondering if this is a bug in
    the CD. How can I solve it?
    Thanks,
    Lillian

  • Porting PCI board from Solaris Intel to Sparc

    Our own PCI board which has been working on Solaris(8) Intel for years does not seem to be recognized by Solaris(8) for Sparc. At the prom level a show-devs shows the device ie: pci1234,5678 but booting with 'boot -rswv' does not. Two questions:
    1. Is the process of scanning hardward and making entries in the /devices directory documented anywhere that I might access?
    2. What might be different between Solaris-Intel and Solaris-Sparc when dealing with PCI devices?
    The platform for our testing is an AXE-300 3 slot PCI Ultra Sparc.
    Thanks in advance
    [email protected]
    (781)-482-1215

    The 'prtconf -pv' command does show the presence of our board
    pretty much matching what is displayed when running prtconf on
    the Intel system with the exception that the Intel results under the
    'compatible:' header shows a series of 32 bit hex values while the
    Sparc output for 'compatible:' shows "'pci1234,5678' +
    'pciclass,ff0000'".
    Furthermore running:
    truss -f -a add_drv -v -m '* 0666 root bin' -i '"pci1234,5678"' pixgen
    seems to show the point of failure occurring in 'devfsadm -v -i pixgen'
    as follows: (note I've cleaned up the output a bit for readability).
    open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 5
    ioctl(5, 0xDF81, 0xFFBEF8F8) Err#6 ENXIO
    close(5)
    devfsadm then returns an exit code=11 and reports that the driver
    was 'successfully added ... but failed to attach'.
    I added a number of trace statements to each entry point in the
    driver using the cmn_err function and compiled for Intel and Sparc
    and verified that the driver continued to work on Intel and indeed
    showed each routine being entered but I never got even one line
    of output on the Sparc. That presents a couple of questions.
    1. I'm using an old compiler: Sun's CC workshop Compiler 4.2 30
    Oct 1996 on both platforms. The Sparc platform is a sun4m (ss-10).
    Is it possible that this old compiler is not generating proper code for
    the sun4u platform? The compiler and linker switches are:
    cc -xstrconst -DKERNEL -DDEBUG -DPIXGENDEBUG=255 -c driver.c
    ld -r -m -o pixgen driver.o
    pkgadd installs the driver as /usr/kernel/drv/pixgen
    2. The driver installation using pkgadd places the following line in
    /etc/devlink.tab: 'type=io;minor=pixgen0 pixgen'. Is this
    possibly an issue?
    Any help/insight would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Solaris intel (x86) DCA not saving when rebooted.

    I'm working with a Panasonic CF-71 toughbook laptop. I have loaded the 2.6 Solaris intel OS and the Xig PCMCIA patch. I have been successful in getting a 3Com 3C589D card to work, but only if I enter into DCA at boot time and delete the PnP ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3 and then add a ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3. Unfortunately this must be done every time the system is rebooted. Does any one know of a way to do this delete/add using the /etc/system file? Any help is much appreciated.

    Hi
    I have download Solaris 9 x86 and Cd1 at boot time gives the same error as you mentioned. I am using my Toshiba Satellite A60. I have check the HDL list and its not listed there. Does it mean I can not install Solaris 9 x86 on this box. When I boot I get the same error which is mentioned above.
    For more information I never installed Solaris in past and have no idea which Disk space /partition to be created it talks about in Install Guide.
    Can some please clarify and do let me know where am I going wrong and how to fix it.

  • Solaris Intel to Solaris SunSparc Portability

    Hi. Is anyone out there aware of any code portability issues for
    a software application that is written on Solaris Intel and subsequently
    deployed on a Solaris Sun Sparc workstation ?
    Does the code need to be tuned ?
    If needed, what is the effort required ?
    Thanks.
    Aran

    The source code is the same for both versions of Solaris. As long as
    your code doesn't make any ISA or endian assumptions, your port
    should be nothing more than a recompile.

  • OpenMP on Solaris/Intel

    Hi,
    Will OpenMP be supported on Solaris/Intel?
    Erling

    c> Has there been a time set on when this configuration will be tested
    c> and supported?
    I'm afraid this is unlikely to happen at all. As far as I know,
    Solaris on Intel doesn't represent a large enough target market to be
    worth porting to. What little market share it ever gained is being
    rapidly eaten by Linux.
