Solaris Installation times

This is the second time this week I installed Solaris 10 on a laptop one hard drive was 4200 rpm and now this one is 5400. I'm seeing like 2.5 hours install times for Entire Distribution and OEM. What has been others experiences? Thanks Mark

30 mins with a jumpstart (not entire dist though, i never install the sunone/iplanet stuff nor staroffice, which saves a few gig) and a reasonably new hardware (as new as my company will buy :p).
.7/M.

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.

Did you check that your adaptec scsi controller is
supported by solaris and/or has a working driver
(from sun or adaptec) ?
Here's the HCL for solaris 8 x86:

No Disks that meet the Criteria in the solaris installer documentation
Your help will be appreciated
Thanks

Hi
I am using IDE Controller not SCSI, the Hard disk is being partitioned using Dos FDISK , When i got this problem Solrais write this message after the error i mentioned before
Please Check the system or try another installation option
then it gives me Unix Prompt , I tried to use FDISK but could not get the right Disk name , I tried FDISK /drv/dsk/c0t0d0s0 or /drv/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
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.
Thanks for your help

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 do I determine what type of Solaris installation I have ?

I'm runnig "SunOS PSP 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R" but I would like to determine the type of Solaris installation I have....do I have a a "development" installation ? Do I have all the SUNW developer packages ? Also what are the "types of installations" that are possible ?
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.):
mysql-3.23.43 gcmn-1.0 ncurses-5.2
What exactly does this mean ?

Hi
You can check the type of solaris install from the below file

Usage dependency is created at Build time and installation time

Hi,
The infrastructure guys have selected the usage dependency as Build time and Installation time, while creating software components.
"Y" SWC is created as depedency for "X" software component.
In SLD(software catalog), we are able to view the Y component as dependency in X component(at both build time and installation time). In usage dependency we are able to view Y component but when we click Y component in usage dependecy we are also able to view X component. Is there any problem with this ?
There is another issue. we are able to view basis object(in IR) in Y component but not in X component. Actually as per the above configuration basis object in IR should appear in X component.
Please refer to another forum which may give you some more idea.("BPM - Message interfaces of one component are not appearing in another comp") pasted on 17 Nov,2006.
Please could you provide us the inputs.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Ridiculously long installation time for CS6?

I'm downloading the CS6 Master Collection through the University of Maryland software center website. I downloaded all the different parts required for installing, and now the installation time remaining says 20 hours and it's still going up. I've closed out all the other applications on my Mac. Is there anything I can do? I can't click go back or continue either.

The same thing is happening to me (downloading from UMD), and I don't think it's a corrupt file.... I've re-downloaded the Master Collection .dmg and .dmgpart files and the Web & Design Collection .dmg and .dmgpart files, and the same thing happens when installing either one. I have to force-quit the installer, do a hard reboot on my computer (it won't let me shut down while it thinks the installer is still running), and then uninstall whatever got installed and run the cleaner.
It always freezes up at about 40% of the way through the installation process, "Running package scripts..." The progress bar doesn't advance even a pixel.... I know this because I took screenshots and compared. The "Install Time Remaining" just keeps getting longer and longer, with no apparent change.

No Disks that meet the citeria in the Solaris installer documentation found. Please check the system or try another installation option #

I'm tring to install this on an IBM netfinity 5100 server which has ultra 160 scsi drives.I get this message
"No Disks that meet the citeria in the Solaris installer documentation found. Please check the system or try another installation option #"
Please help me. I new to UNIX and SOLARIS.Thanks!

You are probably using the INSTALL CD that comes with Solaris x86.
Don't use it but use the Software CD 1/1 to boot and install the system instead. The INSTALL CD is supposed to be used on a completely blank system (no other OS's) although even there I think Software CD 1/1 does the job.
Also, if you are new to Solaris I advice you to get the FAQ (you can find it on e.g. http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2- it should be really helpfull during the first few weeks/months on Solaris

Is Perl part of default Solaris Installation ?

I am devloping an application which invokes a few perl scripts during installation. I just want to know:
Is Perl part of default/standard Solaris Installation ?
How safe is it to assume existence of Perl on client-side Solaris System?
Thanks & Regards,
Satish

Perl has been in Solaris in /usr/bin since Solaris 8. I am not completely certain, but I believe it is included in all metaclusters including the minimal Core cluster.

Flash installation - fatal error. solaris installation program exited

Not very helpful to say the least. Seems to read the flar file and go through the upgrade and then come up with this error.
Any ideas?

Solaris installation - ORA-01034

On my Solaris installation I am getting a - ORA-01034 error at the Database Configuration Assistsance screen
olny option I get is to ignore or Abort
I get about 20% loaded then I get the error
Any suggestions?

Hi,
What are the other messages u r getting.
R u getting ORA-27102 also.
This problem is the result of the kernel parameters for Oracle not being setup properly in the /etc/system file.
Please see the Installation Guide for complete instructions.
Here is an example of the Oracle related settings in the /etc/system file.
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=20
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=2000
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=70
Please reboot your machine after making any changes to the /etc/system file.
Thanks

Installation time

Hi there,
I am trying to install some packages with yaourt and have this question : Why the installation time is so long ? This kind of installation take many time for me and I don't know what this the reason of this problem. I am trying to install this package : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pycrypto-git
I need it for "jrnl".
After 1h:
==> Connecting to GIT server....
Clonage dans 'pycrypto-git'...
remote: Reusing existing pack: 6554, done.
Réception d'objets: 12% (787/6554), 108.00 KiB | 0 bytes/s
The download speed is irregular. For now it's 0 as you can see.
There is some issue with git servers or...?
Thanks

according to pycryptosite, the url should be https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto .
Also the PKGBUILD needs updating to reflect pacman 4.1.x changes.
for now, try changing the _gitroot variable to https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto in the PKGBUILD.

In oracle Documentation I found following,
TNS: lost contact
Cause: OracleServiceSID service, OracleHOME_NAMETNSListener service, or both are not running. You receive this error if you attempt to use any Oracle Database utilities, such as SQL*Plus. This error is analogous to the following Oracle7 error: ORA-09352: Windows 32-bit Two-Task driver unable to spawn new ORACLE task.
Action: Ensure that both services are started.
And very exactly both of services are not running on my server.
When I start them from windows services, they dont...
So how to start them and what should my next action.
