Solaris installation from CD

Hi all,
I am stack with a Collaboration Suite installation in Solaris. I have install well Application Server but the Information Storage part doesn´t takes the second CD.
I have copy the files on a temp folder with the same names they have on CDs but it didn´t work.
Any idea?? Thankfully,
M.A. Ugalde

Unpacking all files to the same directory does not work, because the Instaløler expect to find a catalog named "Disk2" to continue installation. Create a directory for each CD named "Disk1", "Disk2" and so on, and copy the content of each cd to their respective directory.

    Hi,
    Can I to install Solaris 8 from network, booting installation from diskette?
    I have the packages downloaded from www.sunfreeware.com in my disk, but no encountred how install this SO.
    Thank you.

    I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Solaris 8 is not available from sunfreeware, only additional freeware packages to be loaded after Solaris is installed. Solaris 8 can be downloaded and "burned" to CD from : http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html

  • Solaris 10 hands-off installation from a bootable DVD

    Hello,
    I have a problem with installing the Solaris 10 using a bootable DVD with a flar archive. I want this installation to be totally hands-off, but unfortunately after I run this boot command at the ok prompt:
    ok boot cdrom - install ...
    the system is rebooted and the interactive Solaris Installation Program is launched:

    Could you please tell me what I should to to make this installation hands-free?
    The sysidcfg file contains these parameters:

    network_interface=primary {netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=no}
    security_policy=NONE
    I have found some information in the internet, that I need to create the
    .NFS4inst_state.domain file in /etc directory. But it doesn't work...
    I have also read that I need to edit the post installation script, but as far as I know this script is executed after the installation, so it doesn't affect the solaris Installation Program that is launched after the first reboot.
    If you could give me any tips on how to resolve yhis problem, I'd be very thankful.
    Regards,
    Przemek

    I had similar, not identical, issues with a custom JumpStart DVD I was creating. I was not using flar and it was for x86, not SPARC.
    I found that changing the case for the value assigned to network_interface made a difference. In looking at the sysidcfg manpage and online JumpStart documentation, all the examples they used had capitalized "PRIMARY" and "NONE". When I changed the value to the capitalized equivelant, my particular issue had gone away.
    You may also want to consider adding ip_address and default_route to the network_interface section. Test either way to identify the differing results.
    In my particular scenereo, I did not want any networking configuration to be done. The resulting line in sysidcfg was:
    network_interface=NONE {hostname=jsclient}HTH

  • No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation

    Hi all, I have a problem when trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) on my PC. There are some funny things happened while installing the OS.
    1.) My motherboard does not support booting from CD-ROM, so I downloaded a Device Assistant Boot Disk to boot it up. Then I use dd.exe to make the boot disk from the image, I have tried many times that after creating the boot disk, this boot disk will contain 512 bytes of bad sector. So why?
    2.) After using this boot disk to boot up and install the OS, before entering to the detection of the bus type stuff (still on the white screen), at the bottom of the screen, it says "ata_command select failed ... ...", what does this mean?
    3.) When the system go back to the white screen with language selection, I choose English (which is 1), and the system try to find my hard disk, but it failed and says "No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation" with a new line saying "installation documenation found.". So what is happening?
    Appreciate for any help.

  • Problem unzipping downloaded Solaris 10 from oracle site

    Hi All,
    I have a serious problem downloading solaris 10 from the official oracle site. Whenever i want to unzipped the downaloaded zipped file containg the iso DVD solaris the file gets corrupted after a successful downlaod. Is it a problem from the source because i tried downlaoding it onto different computers and still getting the same problem. Can somebody help with a solution or an alternative site i get a good copy of the file.

Help!If you downloaded the DVD ISO and burnt it to a DVD, you can't use it in a CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM drives don't read DVD's. Either buy a DVD-ROM for your U60 or find a way to Jumpstart the system.

  • Is it possible to install Solaris 10 from Hard-Disk

    Linux support installation from HD, will it be possible in solaris?

    I am having similar problems. It reads the x86.miniroot files, displays a copyright notice and hangs.
    If Solaris cannot run in a Virtual Server, it pretty much useless to me :-(

    I'm thinkig about download the mysql binary (from Sunfreeware.com) and I went to the dpendencies site (http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/s8u7dependencies.html) to check what dependencies exist and I saw the following line (among other non "related" info.):

    Hi

    Please Check the system or try another installation option

    but no way , I am new to Unix any way , I tried to get the disk name through df,sysdef,prtconf but could not as well , I guess may be the solaris partition is the problem ? may be if i could creat a solaris partition it will solve it ? , I am using the full version of solaris 8 not the beta one.

  • Solaris installation form a DVD.

    Hi there,
    does anyone know how to install Solaris from a DVD without
    a Webstart installation?
    boot cdrom - nowin
    does help - it stops webstart, but not everything goes as it
    should during the install process.
    The problem is that a program used for disk slicing does it
    in a very strange way. First of all it starts swap from sector
    0 + offset and the rest of slices (/, /var, /usr, etc.) are
    allocated form the last sector to the inside of a drive.
    (sector numer - offset, etc.)
    No matter what slice numer you specify for a swap,
    it always starts from sector 0.
    Comapring an installation from a CD, everything is correct and
    logical. The numer of a slice corresponds to a layout
    of slices on a phisical drive - I suppose CD installer
    uses format(1M). What does DVD installer run?
    Any help appreciated,

  • Which Name Service for Solaris installation behind router?

    I want to install Solaris on my computer in a small home LAN behind a router.
    The Solaris computer is not part of a zone, a domain and there is no own DNS server in LAN.
    I want Solaris to get the DNS from router which in turn gets the DNS server assignments from network provider.
    This is similar to a Windows installation which gets the current DNS servers defintion from network provider at connection startup.
    Now what do I have to select during Solaris installation? See attached snapshot
    I guess LDAP, NIS and NIS+ are not suitable.
    Do I have to select "None"?
    Does DNS mean "own DNS server in LAN" or "DNS from router" (as intended)?
    Thank you
    Peter

    Hello
    I don't know you home setup but in general you will have to use DCHP so solaris will get all info from the route the ip and dns etc..
    If you want to use a static ip you will have to config the DNS by hand.

  • Minimum Solaris installation for Directory Server

    Hello,
    i want to set up a new Solaris installation for Sun ONE directory server.
    But i don't want to install always the "entire distribution" and then turn off all services. I want to keep the solaris os installation as small as possible. Has anybody tried this before and can report some experiences? Is the "reduced network" cluster the right way to go or better the "core" cluster? Does anybody have a list of the packages which must be installed after a minimal solaris installation for the ds to work?
    Thanks a lot,
    af_inet

    Since you original question is "minimum requirement
    at the SERVER", I would say that X is not really
    needed at the server end if you use installer text
    mode CLI (command is "./installer -nodisplay")
    instead of installer graphical mode (GUI). However,
    to fix uninstall/reinstall issue, X is needed as the
    "prodreg" which is used to uninstall packages is a X
    program, without text mode option.This is correct.
    It is not a must to run ./startconsole (X program)
    LOCALLY so as to perform DS admin functions as you
    could always run SUN ONE Console REMOTELY from any
    remote host (Windows or UNIX/Linux) with just the
    console binaries installed. (for large data centre
    env. the LDAP server is usually locked in server room
    away from your desk and you tend to use remote admin
    console).This is correct too. I think it's a matter of taste if i want to install console on the DS itself or on a separate host. As long as i have only one DS i will leave it on the machine itself. But you are right, this is not a must. So i should have asked my question more precicely :-)
    Thank you very much,
    Chris

  • Step by Step RAC 11GR2 with Grid Infrastructure on Solaris installation

    Y'ello All,
    Please I need documentation for RAC 11GR2 with Grid Infrastructure on Solaris installation urgently.
    Thany you very much for your support
    BR,

    What type of shared storage will you be using?
    Properly configure DNS
    Properly configure /etc/hosts files
    Properly configure SCAN
    Properly configure SHARED storage (Preferably ASM - "raw" devices) - make sure you partition the disk devices to "skip" the first 1MB of the device)
    BEFORE installation, confirm grid-owner and oracle-rdbms-owner can read AND write to these shared devices from ALL nodes. Permissions must be set to <grid-owner:<grid+oracle shared group> (grid:oinstall where oracle is also in the oinstall group)
    Properly configure ssh password-less connections for both GRID-owner AND oracle-rdbms-owner.
    IP addresses required
    3 SCAN addresses that point to myhost-scan.mydomain.tld in a round-robin fashion
    PER NODE:
    1 public IP address
    1 virtual IP address
    1 interconnect IP address should be iin /etc/hosts ONLY - Non-routable and not reachable via the public interface. DO NOT use CROSSOVER cable.
    Interconnect should be on a DEDICATED INTERCONNECT switch.
    As for the SHARED storage, the LUNS/Devices can be "carved" out on your SAN by your SAN admin. MAKE SURE that ALL devices in a given diskgroup are EQUAL size. (ie - DATA000=250GB/each, DATA001 500GB/each etc)
    The installation guide gives a lot of directions on PRE-REQUISITES. Follow them. And remember, since you are new to this, you may install this several times before you get it the way you need it to be. Even installing MANY RAC clusters on multiple platforms, I still install it 2-3 times. Generally because the SA has forgotten some pre-req step.

  • How to install Solaris 8 from Hard disk?

    Hi.
    Im downloading Solaris 8 from a free FTP server. Some body can explain me what i need to install Solaris 8 from my hard disk?

    Well first if you are downloading the cd images to a non Solaris machine, they are ISO images that cd burning software and a cd burner will use to burn a bootable cd. After you create the cd's boot cd 1 of 2 and the install will begin. I read somewhere that if you download the images to a solaris machine you can mount the image as a CD and share it and then install directly from the image over a network. I am not too clear on exactly how that is done since I downloaded to W2K.
