Solaris Installation question (from sun course)

Hello, I am just learning about solaris from the course WS-2001-S10. I hope this kind of question is fit for this forum...otherwise please direct me to where I can ask about it.
There is a review question at the end of the installation module like this:
Which Solaris 10 OS installation methods are available to perform a standard upgrade?
     Solaris suninstall and Custom Jumpstart
     [x]Solaris suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart
     Solaris Web Start and Custom Jumpstart
Feedback:
     Correct.
The correct answer is 2 but i don't really get it why. In the course they say nothing about Web Start and from what i have read Web Start is just a Web-Based Jump Start installation.
In the course SUN says that "The methods available for a standard upgrade are Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure. "
So "suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart" from the answer equals "Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure" from course...
Also from what I understood the jumpstart installation is also CLI ...(totally confused now)
Can someone shed some light on this please?

  • Couldn't upgrade Solaris 10 x86 from Sun Fire x2200 to Dell Precision Wrkst

    Dear Solaris Experts,
    I need to clone a Solaris 10 x86 system using a ufsdump backup from the following source & target servers:
    Sun Fire x2200 M2 with Quad Core Processor
    # /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
    System Configuration: Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X2200 M2 with Quad Core Processr
    BIOS Configuration: Sun Microsystems S39_3D12 10/06/2008
    # uname -a
    SunOS old 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
    to
    Dell Precision WorkStation 390
    # /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
    System Configuration: Dell Inc. Precision Workstation 390
    BIOS Configuration: Dell Inc. 2.3.0 05/01/2007
    # uname -a
    SunOS 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
    Unfortunately, Solaris kept rebooting (failed to boot) from the restored primary disk (both / & /export/home) even though Grub menu appeared. As a result, I have embarked on the path of upgrading path using the same Solaris 10 Installation Disk (5/09) DVD but failed due to not able to mount / (c0t0d0s0), swap and /export/home (c0t0d0s7).
    The source Sun Fire x2200 had two mirrored disks but I am restoring the backups to a single harddisk. Any idea on what step has been missed or that it is not possible to go down this path altogether.
    I have tried a number of different reinstallations & restores but have not had much luck still.
    Many thanks,
    Jack

    I should have searched the forums first. This was the solution to my issue....

  • Question from Sun ePractice exam for SCJP

    Hi All. I�m preparing to take the SCJP for Java 5 test shortly, and in preparation I am taking one of the Sun ePractice exams for this test. I have run across an answer I don�t understand and am hoping that someone might help me better understand their explanation. I have included the question and answer below.
    Here's where I'm fuzzy: I selected option A, compilation fails, as the answer. As you can see by their answer, option A is, in fact, the correct answer. However, I thought the compilation error would be due to the statement on line 10. The statement on line 10 is attempting to assign a superclass object of type Dog, referenced by d2, to a reference variable for a subclass of Dog, h1 of type Harrier, without an explicit cast. But their answer states that the compilation will fail due to an error on line 8, not line 10. I don�t understand this. With respect to line 8, I can see that a cast from a subclass to it�s superclass would make the code more clear, but I don�t see why the compilation would fail due to no cast on this line. Furthermore, the compilation will certainly fail from the statement on line 10. I ran the code, and it did fail due to line 10. Do you think this is just a mistake in their answer, or am I missing something?
    Any insight would be much appreciated.
    The question and answer from the practice exam are as follows:
    Given:
    1. class Dog { }
    2. class Harrier extends Dog { }
    3.
    4. class DogTest {
    5. public static void main(String [] args) {
    6. Dog d1 = new Dog();
    7. Harrier h1 = new Harrier();
    8. Dog d2 = h1;
    9. Harrier h2 = (Harrier) d2;
    10. Harrier h3 = d2;
    11. }
    12. }
    Which is true?
    A-     Compilation fails
    B-     Two Dog objects are created
    C-     Two Harrier objects are created.
    D-     Three Harrier objects are created
    E-     An exception is thrown at runtime
    Answer:
    Option A is correct. The compiler will issue an incompatible types error because of the assignment on line 8.

    Did you buy these practice exams off sun. I remember this question. It confused the hell out of me too. Yes you are correct it fails because of line 10.

  • Installation question from Tiger

    I have a disc of 10.5.1, and have put off installing it until the 10.5.2. update, which is now available. I've been told by someone here to download it from Apple's site before installing the disc, and then click on the upgrade immediately after. I'm now downloading the "combo" updater, as it's listed.
    Am I correct in the order of things, please?

    After installing 10.5.1, it will restart...
    You have NO other choice but to restart...
    It will restart into 10.5.1
    Then, "Repair Permissions"
    and then click to install the 10.5.2 update that you already have downloaded or burned to a disk.
    Whichever....
    I am burning the 10.5.2 update on a CD so I can loan it out to my friends who are dial-up.
    My friends on dial-up would never be able to download the 10.5.2 update because it is large.

  • Clone the Solaris OS from Sun Fire X4200 M2 to Sun Fire X4100 M2

    Dear all,
    May anyone help me?
    I want to clone the all slices (whole hard disk) in Solaris 10 OS from Sun Fire X4200 M2 Server and then restore it back to Sun Fire X4100 M2 Server. Is it possible to do this? If "Yes", may show me how to do it?
    I appreciate for your help.
    Thanks you in advance,
    Soret,

    Hi.
    It's possible, but depend of used file systems, used or not voluem manager, hardware configuration.
    Possible steps:
    1) Make Backup x4200 ( on internal disk or third NFS storage )
    2) Boot x4100 from installation DVD in to Single user.
    2.1 Partitioning disk
    2.2 Create New FS
    2.3 Restore backup on new FS. ( need configuree network, and mount disks with backups over NFS )
    2.4 use devfsadm for rebuild device tree
    chroot <new_root> devfsadm
    2.5 Make neaded customization on new system.
    2.6 Install grub and bootblok ( installboot )
    2.7 Umount all new FS; halt system.
    3) Try normal boot new system.
    Some step for create new disk you may do on original server. Install new disk and make restore on it.
    After- return this disk to x4100.
    Regards.

  • Migrate Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Sun solaris to RHE Linux 32 bit.

    We are migrating the Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 from Solaris two node to Linux two node including the database Oracle 10.2.04 64 bit.
    Since the applications only support 32 bit we are not able to store CM tier in a 64 bit Linux so with this considerations we are going with the below plan.
    1. Install RHEL 5 as a 32 bit for two nodes ( One for DB/CM and FORMS/WEB)
    2. Migrate the applications and DB from Solaris to Linux as the same node configuration that is
    Node A:
    Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 64 bit ( SUN oS 10 64bit) -> Oracle 10.2.0.5 32bit (RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Oracle Apps CM 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10 64bit) -> Oracle apps CM 32 bit(RHEL 5 32 bit)
    Node B:
    Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms (sun OS 10) -> Oracle apps 11.5.10.2 forms ( RHEL 5 32bit)
    Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 (SUN OS 10) -> Oracle apps WEB 11.5.10.2 ( RHEL 5 32 bit).
    Question : 1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migration
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux

    Hi,
    1. Did you see any snag on this kind of migrationWhy would you downgrade the db from 64 bit to 32 bit. As 32 Bit has lot of memory limitations.
    You could keep the database on 64 bit for linux too.
    2. Any documentation to migrate the Oracle APPS 11i 10.2.0.4-64 bit database from Sun Solaris to oracle apps 11i 10.2.0.5-32 bit on Linux Please see

  • Trouble with Solaris 10 install on SunBlade 100 using Media CDs from Sun

    Hello World,
    My SunBlade 100 was not reading various burned Solaris 10 media, so I purchased the media kit from Sun. The installation is successful up until the point where it asks for CD2. I didn't even hear the drive spin when I clicked "Next" after inserting CD2.
    I know it is not the CD drive since it obviously works for CD1. It is also not an intermittent problem with the CD drive because CD1 works each time I run the install. I also don't think it is the media since CD2 went right from the factory envelope to my CD drive.
    So:
    1. Has anyone encountered something like this?
    2. Can I resume the installation from the command line?
    Many Thanks,
    Greg

    Actually ...
    Yes, it can be the optical drive.
    Those factory shipped drives in the SB100's were prone to spontaneously failing, one minute to the next.
    Additionally the CD's are actually written differently, whether they are the bootable ones in the set versus the non-bootable CDs in the set.
    Data track layouts are different.
    The optical drive could commonly have difficulty reading every disk you ever insert into it.
    Borrow a replacement drive from a PeeCee.
    Jumper it the same as the current drive and just use it.
    If that works, then go buy a replacement.
    Optical read-only drives are laughably cheap.
    Optical read/write DVD drives are inexpensive, as well.

  • Installation of Solaris on an old Sun Ultra 2

    I have acquired an old Sun Ultra 2 and would like to install Solaris on it. One slight problem I have is that there is no floppy or CD drives. The only drive I have attached to the device is a tape drive, and I don't have solaris tape media. Could anyone offer a suggestion as to how I can install Solaris on this machine. Thanks in Advance

    Do you have a disk drive inside Sun Ultra 2?.
    If yes, you can do a network installation from another system (like
    linux or another Solaris box). The Solaris media are available
    from Sun web site.

  • Solaris 10 installation - questions

    Hello,
    I'm going to install Solaris 06/06 on my PC. I have some questions about the installation and steps before the installation itself.
    First of all, summarize of what I have:
    PC checked by device detection tool and all necessary drivers that are not shipped with Solaris
    160 GB hard disk - 100GB of NTFS partition with Windows XP, 60GB of "untouched" space - no filesystem, no created partition (is it ok this way? or rather create partition with raw data?)
    I've read many discussion boards and web pages related to topic of coexistence of win XP and Solaris on one disk. It seems that XP and Solaris can work on one hard disk without problems.
    However, I must admit little fears of possible problems - i.e. threat of corrupting of the access to ntfs partition or the ntfs partition itself. I'll backup all important data, that's without question, however losting of that partition would be very annoying. I have no possibility to make exact disk image.
    I've noticed on the forums that grub, a solaris boot loader, sometimes doesn't include win xp partition in its menu. It could be added there, however I've noticed too that some people had big problems with this as they were unable to boot win xp from grup even though they added windows item to grup. This is the thing I fear most - I think that the correct setting during installation cannot corrupt other (in my case Win XP) partition but by installing grub, there is (according the posts on message boards) the chance of possible problems of cutting out Win XP from booting.
    Could this be prevented or repaired by the backup of master boot record and in case the problems with booting will occur replace MBR modified by Solaris installation by the backup to back to the state when XP is booting automatically? If so, could you recommend any tool for MBR backup?
    Thanks for any comments or advices.

    Hello!
    First of all,i don`t know any tool that u could use to make a backup of your MBR.
    Anyway,dual booting is a problem that i have had in the past. In my opinion, Solaris and Windows will never run without problems (from the Windows point of view). I have tryied many versions of Unix/Linux toghether with Win XP (on the same system);there`s always some kind of problems...sooner or later.
    Last week i have installed Solaris 10 toghether with Win XP on a PIII Compaq Deskpro.No problem at the begining.After 1 day, the WIn OS crashed (the PC blocks when i start WinXP).
    So, in my opinion, if u want to have a fully functional Solaris system, install it on a separate PC,even if it`s an older one (for example, i have Solaris installed on a PIII/500 MHz/512 RAM bought with 50 euro - depends what u want to do with your Solaris system).
    Good luck!
    Best regards,
    N.

  • Moving disks while maintaining Solaris 10 install from one v240 to another.

    Hi,
    I want to move a Solaris 10 install from a sunfire v240
    with a single cpu to another sunfire v240 with dual cpu's. Here are the
    details of the hosts as well as configuration.
    I have 2 sunfire v240's. One has a single 1 Ghz cpu and the second has
    dual 1.5 Ghz cpu. I want to move the disks of the single cpu host to
    the host with dual cpu's. I want to keep the installed version of
    Solaris 10 intact. The installation of Solaris is split across 2
    mirrored disks, i.e. 4 disks in total. I am using Suns volume manager
    for mirroring and also have one files system mirrored with zfs.
    The questions I have are the following:
    1) Can I simply shut down the servers and swap the disks to the
    destination host, in the same disk slots? The controllers the disks are
    on line up and are the same between the 2 hosts.
    2) Will the kernel pickup the changes moving from a single 1 Ghz cpu to
    dual 1.5. Ghz cpu's with out any problems? Will the kernel pickup the
    faster cpu's speeds. i.e. will it know it is now running dual 1.5. Ghz
    cpu opposed to a single 1 Ghz?
    3) Would we have to break the mirroring on the OS before shutting it
    down?
    4) As another option, instead of swapping disks, could we swap the
    cpus? Move the dual 1.5. Ghz cpu's to the other host? Will the
    motherboards read the updates of the cpu or are their jumper settings we
    would need to update?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Solaris 10 - impressions from a GNU/Linux user

    Firstly, this isnt flame bait, honest!
    Until 10, I hadnt seen Solaris since rev6, then, I was worn (then) down by trying to configure a dial up model hacking chap scripts. Anyhow, I thought I'd look at Solaris 10, seeing as it was 'free' to play with. What follows summarises my feelings after looking at it again.
    Download and install went smoothly, even the accompanying freeware DVD was installed in its entiretly to add all that utility/application-candy that makes a platform usable, or more than usable.
    OK, so the java desktop is actually pretty good but now what? There is a dearth of anything useful in the distribution, all but the cut down linux distros come with a wide range of applications and supporting tools, they 'just work', and cusomizing program access paths to include all the freeware bin folders etc etc is not necessary, unlike Solaris with its truly painful packaging structure.
    Solaris seems to have changed a great deal since I last used it, but as I spend most days running Linux development and deployment systems I had some expectations of what I should (by now) be able to do with Solaris. After observing the lack of configuration files I stumbled accross the web 'tool' to do the configuration (there were no default desktop shortcuts, no menu links, nothing - even under CDE), I was beginning to get that '6' feeling again.
    What do people do after an install, they configure the network and set the hostname up.
    I personally found the network configuration a royal pain. Using any other linux distro (suse and its yast configurator, gnome or kde configuration tools etc) all make the experience painless.
    For the gigabytes of downloads I kind of expected something that would be useful out of the box. Yes, I can go and download xyz from sun freeware one package at a time but COME ON! After using Debian based UBUNTU perhaps Im spoiled by the Synaptic package manager. I was honestly shocked, thinking there must be something I'm missing but once again I could not find a single reason to switch to Solaris for my use (development, or deployment).
    Im sure there are those who would tout Solaris as rugged, scalable, secure etc but all of that is irrelavent to me and my usage. From my perspective the targetted user base for Solaris appears to be narrow.
    I can appreciate the licencing issues involved and that may indeed be the reason why many additional tools arent provided. In any event, I cant think of any reason to keep Solaris 10 installed, I can do everything I need with Linux with less effort thanks to the range of GNU/open source apps readily available.
    If it works for you thats great, Im sure there will be plenty of points and my lack of time spent (a) reading (b) configuring (c) dowloading and compiling, but to be honest, I havent got the time!

    compiing packages one at a time is possible but is
    prone to non-trivial issues over symbols etc etc.
    Never mind it takes time to find the source package
    from website x, install the package, compile the
    package, fixup your paths ready for running, try and
    figure out if the app needs an icon in the menus -
    and figure out how to do that too.Or, as you mentioned you could use Sunfreeware or the Companion CD with the caveat that you've already mentioned.
    Contrast this method with the APT/Synaptic package
    manager a) search by keyword for app (eg firewall)
    from multiple repositories with thousands of
    applications etc, select and hit go, it resolves its
    own dependencies, it downloads, it installs, it just
    runs, its integrated immediately with no further
    effort. Blinding!Must be nice!
    There are some apps that actually do this on Solaris. If they use the Midnight Commander shell on the download page I've had things like version 2 of Nessus configure, compile and install itself automatically.
    These are few and far between though.
    What I expected to do with Solaris is to be able to
    configure it quickly and painlessly (nope), to be
    able to install categories of apps I know I want but
    dont immediately know where they are stored, maybe
    sunfreeware.com maybe not (nope, no package manager
    or anything similar), to be able to not care about 'I
    need this library or that library' to resolve
    dependencies and just install it! (nope). As I said,
    I guess Im spoilled by APT/Synaptic, its a killer app
    for the platform, making it more than useful.For Solaris I'm not aware of anything close to what you're describing.
    compilers, apache, tomcat, evolution for M$Exchange
    email intergration, eclipse even, never mind media
    players & codecs. All without so much as a website
    trawl/comipile/fixup cycle.I've heard that the Companion CD along with the Java Desktop Environment should get you most of what is listed above, but that uses the Companion CD and the caveat.
    GNU/Linux experience. I asked myself the question,
    how much effort would I have to put in to get running
    at least a good portion of what I currently have? The
    answer that led to my post was too much.From what you're describing it isn't that it couldn't be done, the issue is that it could be done, but going forward with Solaris would be more work than what you're currently doing, not a bad assumption.
