SPARCengine CP1500 & Solaris 2.5.1.?

Hi, All!
Help, please!
I am beginning unix administrator..
I have SPARCengine Ultra CP1500.
Can I install Solaris 2.5.1 on my machine?
If YES, then is there any specific problem for installing Solaris 2.5.1.?
Thanks & Regards,
Lyudmila

When the keyboard is disconnected...display automatically goes to the serial port. If your keyboard is connected, reboot and make sure you have a video card installed. The onboard one may not have the vsimm(video memory) option, in which case you will have to get memory for it(very, very expensive) or get a separate sbus video card(these can be had very cheap on ebay). Let us know how it works out for you.

  • Boot load failed, fatal SCSI error, disk read error, Elf64 read error

    Just came from vacation and started the Unix Solaris system from work.
    Unfortunately I get these errors that you can see in the image:
    Can someone tell me what is the problem? Until now I didn't had this issue before.

    I concur with Pascal that you do not have a Solaris kernel issue, nor even a Solaris issue.
    You have an ancient AXI systemboard (which was a piece of hardware manufactured by Sun Microsystems for the OEM market --  most likely the SPARCengine CP1500 board).  It is UltraSPARC-IIi hardware that is about 15 to 20 years old, and it is tired.
    I suggest you shut the box down, completely take it apart and then put it back together again.
    Remove all accumulated dust and lint.
    Remove and reinstall the CPU modules.   Remove and reinstall the RAM.  Remove and reinstall all expansion board risers.  Remove and reinstall all adapter cards.  Examine all internal data cabling.   Clean any and all cooling fans as well as the power supply.
      That action will burnish all mechanical and electrical connections.
    After you have re-assembled the box, boot from CDROM and examine all your filesystems.   FSCK any that require it.

  • Problem installing Solaris 10 onto CP1500

    I'm trying to install Solaris 10 11/06 onto a CP1500 (UlraSparc-IIi, 440MHZ, 1GB RAM, OpenBoot 3.10.24, using a PS/2 Keyboard). The install CD boots up, but soon after the initial boot (after it displays copyright information but before the installer starts) it goes into a state where it syncs the file system, then reboots. If set to boot from the CD-ROM, it just goes through this process in an continuous loop: boot, cut to file system sync, reboot, cut to file system sync, reboot, wash, rinse, repeat to infinity. The acutal file system sync happens in the blink of an eye. I don't believe that this has anything to do with the state of the hard disk, as it does this even when the hard disk is disconnected from the SCSI bus.
    I'm installing from an IDE CD-ROM drive that is connected to the SCSI bus using an adapter. I've sucessfully installed Solaris 8 onto this system, but alas, I need Solaris 10.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I downloaded the latest version of Solaris 10, and that solved the problem of the continual reboots. Now the keyboard doesn't work, but that's a different problem.

    disk@0,0:b is slice/partition 1
    I'm not sure where you told it your swap slice was going to be. Looks like slice 1. Mini-root gets installed in slice 1 and then the install begins from there.
    In the future, if you just "boot cdrom" from disk 1 of 2 you won't run into these issues.

  • CP1500 CPCI Motherboard Requires COM connection

    I am using a CP1500 - 440MHz motherboard in a CPCI system. For the system to start it always requires a COM cable connection to a PC running a Serial Terminal Emulation program. When the system is booted up, if the COM connection is removed by either removing the cable or exiting the Serial Terminal Emulation program the CP1500 system crashes. The system will not boot up without the COM cable connected with the Serial Terminal Emulation program running. Another system I have does not need the COM cable connection running to start up. It is not the hardware at fault. Does any one know if there is a file within Solaris 2.6 or 8 that states that the COM cable must be connected to a Serial Terminal Emulation program for the system to run?
    Thanks
    Ryan

    Normally no terminal is required for a system to boot unless "auto-boot? false". This would require you to have to type "boot" at the ok prompt. Thus you would be required to have some type of input device to type. At the ok prompt type printenv auto-boot? If it comes back false then you should type setenv auto-boot? true to change it. Then type reset to lock it in to NVRAM. You may also want to investigate the kbd -a enable / disable command while you are unpluging your laptop. Some have found that killing Hyperterm while still plugged in causes a break to be sent and the system goes to the ok prompt. They pull the cable first and they kill it. Your results may vary. The kbd -a command allows you enable or disable the abort (break, Stop +a) to the system while you are connecting or disconnecting cables to the serial port. You may want to experiment with this as well.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Unable to load Solaris 8 using Panasonic CD drive

    I am not able to load solaris 8, Sparc version 6/00 into a Sun UltraSparc AXe system using the Panasonic CR-176D CD-ROM drive. Also tried with TEAC CD-224E CD drive with similar problem.
    The system indicate a timeout error, abort and reset the system.
    Has anyone encountered this? Is it a hardware compatibility issue or a software bug? Any device driver or patches to fix thie issue ?
    Any advice will be helpful.
    Thanks.

    Hi, <br><br>
    I couldn't find any know bugs with these particular models<br>
    but neither of them appear on the compatibility list.<br>
    Have a look at the following URL for a list of third party<br>
    products compatible with the SPARCengine Ultra AXe board:<br><br>

  • Where do I find SPARCengine AXi Update and Release Notes?

    I'm looking for the OBP updates, and all release notes for the updates, so that I can flash the two I have recently obtained and add the intervening release notes to the manual I printed out for the boards.
    Also, I'm looking for the OBP dropins compatible with the SPARCengine AXi.
    I've tried SunSolve, but haven't really turned up anything close.

    Well, I was playing around with FreeBSD initially on the 4 gig disk that did work, but there are a lot of things in the FBSD ports tree that need work to get going on the SPARC. I love FBSD, and run it on intel boxes, but work is needed on it.
    I may devote one of the 18 giggers (when I get another SCSI cable, or an external case) to FBSD to do some porting work for the project...
    Anyhow, I have successfully installed Solaris-SPARC-u1 on it, and the only problems I saw were in the freeware, where stuff like emacs would coredump on exit (from the package), or fail to compile (segfault on the blessmail module).
    I have just installed Solaris-SPARC-u2 (6/06) on it today, and so far have no issues, but I do want to test the issue with emacs again.. I'll be pissed if emacs has issues on this, vi sucks (EMACS makes the sun shine! EMACS makes the birds sing! EMACS makes the grass grow green! It's a pretty good editor too!).
    By "RTC" I mean the RealTime Clock / CMOS battery-backed NVRAM / IDPROM chip. Refer to the OEM Technical manual for the AXi for details on where it is on the board. They are field replacable and socketed.
    The RTC in the AXi board is a SGS (ST) M48T59Y, and you can find the datasheet at: http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/7001.pdf and you can find out how to replace it, and reprogram your hostid and MAC, etc at: http://www.squirrel.com/squirrel/sun-nvram-hostid.faq.html the chip is avaqilable from Mouser Electronics, probably Digi-Key as well, among others. Keep in mind they have an embedded lithium cell, and have a lifespan between 7 and 10 years.
    As far as fans, I have 300 MHz CPUs in these right now, until I can find the Sun fans and mounting brackets... In the meantime, the fans are connected to the main power supply directly. As far as LEDs, I don't see how that could cause a problem, as a reverse-biased diode simply won't pass current.
    Anyhow, I have had some cheap fans fry intel motherboards when they die and freeze up, so, I think I'll even direct-connect the CPU fan to the power supply when I get some of the 440's...
    As for Solaris 10, I don't have any problems other than the one issue, but I do have one issue launching from a remote Xnest on my PC, but, for some reason, it works fine when I use the kdm remote login from the main kdm login screen on my pc. For some reason Xnest will do the dtlogin stuff fine, but it will never launch CDE and immediately go back to the dtlogin screen. The answer might be in the Xservers file in the /usr/dt/config directory, but it uses some wierd bastardized form that isn't standard Xservers, and will coredump dtlogin if it isn't in the form expected. I think the key is in finding out what the hell "Class" a foreign Xnest is.
    Anyhow, I'm having fun, and only have one more complaint.. I can't set the font size on anything other thant he output and editor windows in Sun Studio 11 (which I also installed today). IMHO, the fonts are a bit small.

  • Logical interface in solaris 10

    Hi there,
    I need to configure logical interface in a solaris 10 3/05 server. After reading the Solaris 10 IP services manual, I am not quite sure what to do. All the examples and explanation are about using the new subcommand addif of ifconfig. It was not clear in the documentation if the setting logical interfaces via addif will persist across boot.
    Can one still configure logical interface in Solaris 10 in a more traditional way like in Solaris 8? In an Solaris 8 server I will do the following.
    Let's assume I want to configure in a solaris 8 server a logical interface named hme0:1 with IP address 192.168.20.28 with netmask 255.255.255.0 for hostname host001
    # cat /etc/hostname.hme0:1

    # echo "192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/inet/netmasks

    Can one still do that in solaris 10 3/05 server?Absolutely.
    You don't need to reboot (you can run ifconfig for this boot and let the files do the work next time) and the -r doesn't do anything with interfaces (expecially virtual interfaces) anyway.

  • Installation problem on Solaris

    I am trying to install sun one 7.0 on Solaris 8. The install is failing with this error:
    ERROR - library load failed with following error: Can't load library: /opt/SUNWappserver7/lib/libinstallCore.so
    INFO - End core server uninstallation
    anyone know what causes this??
    cheers

    Looks like Solaris package installation failed and installer reverted to uninstallation sequence. For low level pkgadd log please check /var/sadm/install/logs/Sun_ONE_Application_Server_install.B<timestamp> file (timestamp is date and time of your installation attempt in mmddHHMM format).
    Look for any errors in this file. Most likely thing that could have happened is that the installation of Java Help (SUNWjhrt) package failed because you didn't have existing package based J2SE installation on the system. If that's the case, workaround is to either preinstall package based J2SE installation or to selected option to install bundled J2SE that comes with application server.

  • Installation problem on Solaris 10

    Dear All,
    We are trying to install j2sdk 1.4.2_13 on solaris server zone. I have downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin

    Dear Siddhesh,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I tried using X Manager GUI for my Solaris. But when I double click the j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin file to run it, it simply denies saying:
    The filename "j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin" indicates that this file is of type "Unknown type". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "Shell script". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.
    Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "Shell script", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.
    Also /tmp has full authorizations:

    # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
    # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
    # many!) most of which are not shown in this example
    # For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
    # read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
    # http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
    # Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
    # Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
    # http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
    # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
    # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
    # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
    # may wish to enable
    # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
    # to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

    Secondly, I have read only access on my samba shares from windows machines but my smb.conf looks right. a copy of my smb.conf will follow
