Solaris 8 x86: How to install on disk connected via IDE controller

I have a PC with a Pentium 4 processor and the following IDE disks:
Disk 1 and 2 at the primary IDE bus.
Disk 3 connected via Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller.
I want to install Solaris 8 Intel x86 edition on Disk 3, but the installation
program only lists disks 1 and 2 as locations for install.
Is there any method how to get Solaris 8 installed on Disk 3?
Thank you very much for your help!
Thomas

Hello Michael,
thanks for the information.
There is no support for the Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller listed.
Also, searching the internet for a private developed driver was not
successful.
Anyway, I have tried to make a test installation on a hard disk
connected to the primary IDE controller and I detected a lot of
further installation problems with my equipments because of
missing or not properly identified drivers.
So I think I have to make further investigations on concepts
how to get Solaris 8 run in the best way.
Thanks again for your help,
Thomas

  • Install Arch on hard disk connected via USB

    Hi,
    anyone tried this?
    I had Arch Linux installed on hdd in my desktop, now I've connected this hdd to laptop via USB and I want to start system from it. I need to reinstall lilo, because I get kernel panic after booting from USB.
    I don't know how to do this, I boot laptop from Archie Live CD and:
    mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/m
    chroot /mnt/m
    editing /etc/lilo.conf
    lilo
    and I get error: Failed stat("/dev/dsa2")
    Anyone know how to install lilo on hdd connected via USB?
    thanks for any help

    i know it's an old thread, but perhaps it'll help someone else later...
    i first tried installing from cd, with some problems, using an arch 0.7 cd.
    then i tried it with a newer one (arch 0.7.1) which did'nt recognize the external harddisk and my network device...
    so i tried a ftp install from 0.7 cd - without problems.
    then after trying to boot i got also this kernel panic, because the usb drive wasn't accessible like this.
    with following steps i got it running:
    boot from live cd (e.g. archie)
    create a folder in /mnt/
    mount usb drives partition with the installation there
    chroot to mounted folder
    edit /etc/mkinitrd.conf
    configure it (usb,scsi,ide), there are useful comments in the file...
    save it and run mkinitrd -auto
    then edit and save /etc/lilo.conf as described in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Initrd
    installing lilo from the chrooted system doesn't work. so do this:
    type exit (to leave chroot)
    cd /
    mv /etc/ /etcold/
    mv /boot/ /bootold/
    ln -s /mnt/yourmountfolder/boot
    ln -s /mnt/yourmountfolder/etc
    lilo
    (if there's an other, easyer way to install lilo, let me know)
    and then reboot...

  • How to install the disk copy program

    i recieved a computer from my colleg and want to install disk copy but the files are in a format that needs disk copy to open them (.smi,.part,etc.)how do i install disk copy when the install neds disk copy to run. i do not have the original install disk!!!! so do not ask if i have install disk.

    Would it be correct to assume that you are trying to install the downloadable System 7.5.3 , e.g. the US version here? If so, the computer in question (Performa 638CD?) will have to have a usable operating system on the hard disk; or a startup floppy or CD will be needed.
    As Niel has indicated above, you are not going to need a separate Disk Copy application for a self-mounting image.
    However, please note that the files available for download are protected by a MacBinary (.bin) encoding. StuffIt Expander would be required for the decoding. If the download has been carried out on a PC, leave the encoded files intact until on a Mac. Do not try to decode the .bin on a PC.
    Once on the Mac where you want to install System 7.5.3, decode the .bin (if this has not been done earlier, in an appropriate Mac environment). Then, place the decoded files (one .smi and eighteen .part) in a common folder on the hard disk. Double-click on the .smi; this will mount the total image. The installer will be found in the mounted image. Run the installer.
    Should you in a particular case really need Disk Copy (for instance, for .img files), the program can be found here. You will notice that version 6.3.3 is packaged as a self-mounting image, protected by MacBinary. Decode the .bin on the Mac, double-click on the .smi, and finally drag-copy the Disk Copy program from the image to the hard disk.
    If you do not have access to a suitable StuffIt Expander version for the older Mac, please post back.

  • How many install/restore disks should there be?

    Okay, in my MacBook box there is only 1 install/restore disk? I didn t bother to check before until now.

    Probably. Nevertheless...after I've unpacked everything i plan to read every piece of literature front to back.
    That doesn't mean you cannot be helpful here. People come here for help and most people here are pretty helpfule and curteious. Perhaps forums in the windows world are more casutic and you can project an attitude but this apple forum is reallly good because of the helpful people. Lets try to keep that going without copping an attitude.
    btw as noted the manual really doesn't say anything about two disks so telling the to RTFM is even more pointless.

  • How to install packages on client via VPN

    Hello
    I have a number of users that use laptops and mostly connect to the office network via an OSX VPN Server. I can see when they connect, copy files to them and control their screens.
    I do not seem to be able to install packages to them. The ARD console goes through the motions but the package never gets to the remote end and is never installed.
    Can anyone shed any light on this? From what I can tell this may be a multicast issue - if this is true how can I get the VPN server to route the multicast traffic, or alternatively how can I stop ARD from using multicast for these clients?
    Any help appreciated. If I can not use the package installation system it will make managing these users quite difficult.
    Kind regards
    Jason
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi Jason,
    Have you found anything else that can't be done or is acting strangely using ARD with those connecting via VPN? Another question that comes to mind is the up and down speed of both your office's connection to the net and that of the clients connecting in. You said that you can copy files to them--does that work with large files as well? Have you tried copying the install package rather than installing it to see if that works?
    I ask all of this because I've found in my support role with VPN clients, that viewing/controlling the screen, copying small files, chats, and alerts all work fine. But a large install package? I don't even bother. Sure, it works locally, but the upload speed of the company's internet connection isn't fast enough to do large copies or installs remotely. (Which is why I'm wondering about copying a large file.) I usually get a "Communication Error".

  • Disk, to Backup the disk connected (via USB) to Airport Extreme

    Hi..
    My 1.5TB disk (WD My Book Essential) is connected to Airport Extreme.
    This disk contains photos, videos, etc. accessible/shared by some MacBook.
    Now I need to back-up that disk, so probably I need 1 more disk as the backup disk, and the backup process can be scheduled.
    Could someone please recommend me the solution. I am thinking of alternatives:
    Alt-1. To have a NAS disk connected to the Airport Extreme via its ethernet port -- Is this a wise solution?
    Alt-2. To split (using Hub) the USB from Airport Extreme into 2 hard disks (i.e. one disk is the existing 1.5TB disk for sharing files, while the other is one for the backup disk), and run the backup-process using Time Machine -- Is this a wise solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Again, TM will not back up „airdisks“ (i.e. USB drives connected to the Extreme’s USB port or a NAS drive connected to one of the Extreme’s LAN ports). It will only back up drives that are connected directly to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733?viewlocale=en_US
    The only option I can think of is to have the original drive hanging off your MacBook and another drive hooked to the Extreme (although this is not officially supported http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038 , however, some have reported success going this route)
    This would turn your lappy virtually into a desktop, though. I'm stuck with a similar set up until i get a mac mini to be my dedicated media server: 1 TB external FW drive holding my iTunes lib is connected to my MBP and backed up to my TC (along with my MBP's internal HD)

  • ITS 6.20 Install not allowing connections via URL

  • How to determine who is connected via AFP in WORKGROUP

    I am running a WORKGROUP configuration leopard server on a MP early 2008. Using the server widget I can tell if there are users connected but I have not figured out how to determine Who is connected and how to contact them if I want to reboot the server. Moreover, how do I determine what users are doing? The AFP log is turned off in this config and I can't get it to come on. From the command line I could use serveradmin to find out who is connected but in the workgroup config it is not clear if it is OK to run serveradmin since the GUI counterpart "Server Aministrator" is forbidden unless you upgrade to the advanced config. Does anybody know if the CLI serveradmin is OK to use in the WORKGROUP config or know any other way to determine who connected via AFP and SMB and what files they have open? This semms like a terrible security risk without knowing who is doing what.
    Thanks
    -Chris

    Just in case others have the same question, I have determined that the CLI tools can be used to query the file services without any apparent detrimental effects while using our leopard server 10.5.3 in a workgroup configuration. Hence the names of AFP users can be determined from the command line by:
    sudo serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers | grep name
    and the smb users can be found with:
    sudo serveradmin command smb:command = getConnectedUsers | grep name
    Hope that helps

  • Solaris x86: How to boot from Veritas mirror disk?

    Hello team,
    We are using trailware Veritas Storage Foundation (VxVM) on Solaris 10 x86 system and need help in booting from alternative boot disk(Mirror disk).
    Steps did :
    1. Mirrored the root disk group using veritas volume manager command *"vxrootmir"*
    2. Updated the bootpath with mirror disk path in /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc
    Updated the EEPROM information:
    # bootadm update-archive -R /a
    3. Edited the grub configuration file, /boot/grub/menu.lst
    Created the following entry similar to primary disk entry to allow the root disk mirror to be booted
    title Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10x_u10wos_17b X86 <VxVM: Alternate Boot Disk>
    findroot (rootfs0,0,a)
    kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
    module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
    4. reboot -- -r
    At the time of boot, selected the newly added entry from the grub list and got the following error,
    *"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected device and press a key".*
    I am unable to move further from here, is this because of the veritas trial version we are using ?
    Please help in resolving this issue and also explain the step by step process of booting from alternative boot disk on a x86 machine.
    Let me know if you find anything inappropriate. Looking forward for your replies.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi--
    I have not seen this message before but a quick google search says that is pretty common and is related to the system
    trying to boot from a different device (not the one you intended). Can you check your BIOS settings and possibly remove
    devices from the boot order setting... Otherwise, I would suggest running installgrub on the disk that you are trying to boot
    from.
    I'm curious why you are trying Veritas. Is there a Veritas feature that you need? You might consider trying ZFS if you haven't
    already. Its very simple to set up and use.
    Thanks, Cindy

  • Solaris 10 issue with the DNS when connected via DHCP

    driver alias for Realtek RTL 8029 AS - ni0, driver is installed from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/. IP, shown on ADSL modem TP-Link ADSL2+ Router TD-8810 - 192.168.1.1 .
    To connect to the Internet in the terminal I enter:
    ifconfig -a
    ifconfig ni0 unplumb
    ifconfig ni0 plumb
    ifconfig ni0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
    route add default 192.168.1.1
    After that, I can turn on ADSL modem or the computer hangs)
    Now in the terminal I enter:
    ifconfig ni0 dhcp
    The computer connects to the Internet.
    Problem: does not work DNS, visible are only addresses without a domain name (eg http://86.106.213.1:8080/).
    ping 89.33.1.18 - is alive, ping boom.md - the domain for 89.33.1.18 - host unknown.
    I tried to:
    cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
    and
    write DNS-server in /etc/resolv.conf in format:
    nameserver <IP-address>
    After running DHCP nsswitch.conf file is back to default, not using DNS, a resolv.conf file after a reboot does not exist. Domain names are still unknown.

    I'm using exact scan already and have switchresx.
    I've actually solved the problem, don't ask me how.
    I connected it up via the VGA interface to see whether that would make a difference, the picture was centralised but the resolution was not great.
    So I swapped it back to the HDMI interface, rebooted the Mac and when it came back up the HDMI 1920x1080 desktop was perfectly aligned.
    So have no idea why but it is now working.

  • How to Install AIR on Linux via SSH

    How can I install AIR on a linux server via SSH?
    llama

    Hi llama,
    As installing AIR requires a running xserver on linux. So you can install using ssh by providing -Y parameter.
    so connect to your server in the way, e.g: ssh -Y user@server and then perform the installation.
