Unable to install a Solaris OS in a Single disk slice

Hi,
We are unable to install the Solaris-OS on a single slice disk.
We found that, only "Solaris 10 10/08 (U6)" release can support the single slice disk installation, prior release are not. Is it true ?
We found it from "LDoms Community Cookbook " , from given link
http://wikis.sun.com/display/SolarisLogicalDomains/Section+2+-VirtualDevices
Paragraph is
" Before Solaris 10 10/08 (U6), when a backend is exported to a domain as a single slice disk, it will appear in that domain as a disk with a single partition (s0). Such a disk is not visible with the format(1m) command and its partition table can not be changed. A single slice disk will not be visible from the Solaris installer and can not be select as a disk device on which Solaris can be installed. "

Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run"

I was having problems with Flash Player earlier today and decided to uninstall it (from Windows 7) and reinstall from scratch. I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it but now I get the following message: Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run" I tried uninstalling I checked to see if there was still a programme to install but there is not. I checked my files in Windows and there are several files called Install_Flashplayer _16x32 .............. files. I presume they were created each time I attempted to install Flash Player. I thought of deleting the numerous Install FlashPlayer files but decided to seek help before taking this step.
Browser: Firefox 35.0.1
Windows 7 Home Premium
64bit OS

I have somehow managed to install Flash Player and it works. I deleted all the install files except one which did not want to be deleted, Then I started to install Flash Player until I got the message about conflicting applications. I then used Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open Task Manager, then closed all tasks except the Flash Player one. Flash Player finished installing. I then opened a TV Player in Firefox and was able to play a programme that required a Flash Player.
Why do I have to use Task Manager to close applications. I can't remember the last time I used it ut think it was about a year ago when my computer would not shut down.

Unable to install Win 8 Pro on GPT 3TB disk

I am unable, with all the willpower in the world, to install Windows 8 Pro on a 3TB harddisk.
I have tried about everything, I'm an IT professional and I just can't get it to work. The pinned topic from xmad does not work for me at all.
I'm using a Z77A-G45 motherboard with the latest official UEFI BIOS (2.9). I boot from the UEFI DVD Drive with an official Windows 8 DVD, check my disk is in GPT mode (it is) and continue the installer.
When I arrive at the disk partitioning screen, I select create new partition and Windows creates a 100 mbyte partition, a 2 TB partition and leaves about 750GB as unusable.
I check the disk and windows has moved it back to a normal non GPT disk.
I tried manually creating the partition with diskpart: an EFI partition with 30 megabyte for the bootloader, and MSR partition of 300 megabyte and a primary partition of 2.7 TB. After refreshing the partitioning screen I see the correct partitions and Windows simply says "can not install on a disk that is in EFI mode".
I've searched and read and tried every thing but I just can not get this to work. I'm getting pretty desperate here and would like any and all input you can give me.

Enable win 8 mode in Bios, but disable msi fast boot and fast boot for now.
It is easier if you install from a usb, re-format and clean the drive using diskpart and follow the guide then.
If any trouble, update to the latest bios here:

Unable to install SCCM roles - reporting not enough available disk space on to complete this operation

Hi.
I am having a strange problem with my SCCM 2012 R2 installation running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I am not able to add any new roles to the server.
Event log reports: "Product: Application Web Service -- There is not enough available disk space on to complete this operation. Installation requires at least 10MB free disk space."
awebsvcMSI.log reports: "Product: Application Web Service -- Configuration failed."
and
"Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Application Web Service. Product Version: 5.00.7958.1000. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation. Reconfiguration success or error status: 1603."
I have three disks in the server.
C: (OS) ~8.7 GB free space
D: (SCCM) ~7.69 GB free space
E: (data) ~52.4 GB free space
I have NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS files on C: and D:. I tried removing it from D: and restarting the server without any effect.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks in advance!
/Michael

That error says the same as the event log:
"Action start 11:49:28: CcmCheckFreeDiskSpace.

Unable to load Disk 2 of CD install of Solaris 10

My platform is a Sun Ultra 60 sparc system.
I find it very disappointing that the SUN downloads do not install. Three or four years ago, I had the same problem with Solaris 9. The first disk installed fine, but not the second disk. I finally gave up and ordered the SUN disks, which installed fine.
My CD's are all correct. I made three copies of these disks from an iso image--each shows the correct files when read from a MAC and a PC.
I am unable to install disk two.
Is there a way to load these disks onto one of my hard drives, so that I can install from one drive to another? Presently I have Solaris 9 installed on disk 1 and the first disk of Solaris 10 installed on disk 2.
Thanks in advance.

The graphic drivers do not seem to be the problem. I removed the open source driver and installed catalyst, but the result is still the same; the game starts if sound is blocked by smplayer, but not otherwise. I installed "lib32-alsa-plugins", as recommended in the steam wiki-page. I also installed all dependencies as specified in the Game specific section:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … n_of_Kings
The problem remains the same. I've also tried running it from within the game folder, but it results in a steam window saying that I need to assure that steam is running and a user logged in (the same result whether I have steam running or not):
~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh ./witcher2
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.dll.
I tried using native runtime, too, but in that case steam started, the game, however, did not start at all, no error or anything.
I'm using alsa as a sound system, could it be that steam and/or witcher 2 depends on pulseaudio?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I of course have installed libcurl (i.e. the packages specified in the link above) and lib32-keyutils (The game doesn't seem to recognize this when started from the game directory...)

Unable to install Solaris 8 OE patches

I'm trying to install the Solaris 8 recommended patch cluster on my new Blade 150. I downloaded and unzipped the patch file, dropped into single user mode, and executed the install_cluster script.
After asking me if I was ready to continue to install (I pressed "y"), a message appeared that it was checked for available disk space, followed by the system prompt-- the script had terminated.
Looking at the raw script file I can see that it should have either told me there was insufficient space (don't think this is a problem) or continued. Instead all it does it silently quit. I'm stuck!

are there enough space on your system

Hello!
There is one simple method also..
Instead of Installation disk of Solaris, insert the Software 1/2 Disk, and try to follow the actuall Suninstall method of installing Solaris. Here you will get the option that how to utilize the free space.
I myself have installed more 5 OS on a single Hard disk :) this way. Try this method

Unable to install CD 2, 3 and 4 of Solaris 10 x86

Hi
I was able to install my Solaris 10 x86 on my VMWARE. I was able to install CD 1 without problems and when prompted to reboot, I reboot and remove CD 1.
After the system rebooted for the first time, it prompted for software 2 (is that CD 2?) Somehow it doesn't recognise my CD although i inserted the correct CD

No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
This was through an SSH session, does it require a graphical display?Yes, by default the installer uses a GUI. I'd suggest that you either connect with ssh -X to do X11 forwarding over your ssh connection, or you use the option to install in batch mode (sorry, can't remember it offhand).

Unable to install Solaris Express Community Edition

Now when I had Solaris 10 installed during normal boot, this message was displayed on the console, but the boot sequence continued.
Anyone seen this before and what does it mean. Does the installation process not like the fact that I have a NTFS partition on the first disk.

there is a german article how to fix the bios on that hba:
http://www.administrator.de/index.php?content=4cbb72a3b4f407f86caaca24d0fd2d7b#68542
only problem is one needs the seeprom dumped from a non-dell card of that type. after that it is possible to flash the adaptec firmware. so if anyone has a 39320 hba and is willing to dump the seeprom using the scsiutil.exe that would help very much...

I have used this method, but the dog gone service does not return a started status. It just keeps saying starting even after the service starts.
Download sc.exe from ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip and copy
it to system32
Open a command line, change to C:\Sun\AppServer\lib and run:
C:\winnt\system32\sc.exe create SJdomain1 binPath=
"C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\appservService.exe
\"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin-pause.bat start-domain domain1\"
\"C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\asadmin-pause.bat stop-domain domain1\"" start= auto
DisplayName= "SunJava domain1"
1. I'm no fan of windows and I prefer Solaris or Linux
2. Windows should have this tool as a part of the OS so I don't have to go hunt for it
3. I guess this solution is better than no solution at all :)

reflect on silent install as well.

Unable to instal Sun Studio..

Hi All,
After i copied the Sun Studio package to my desktop(Sun Solaris 10 - X86 version). i am unable to instal it.
i don't know what to do.
Unzip the package then what and where ???? CONFUSE...
Running: Solaris 10 on Sun Vertual Machine.

Which version of Sun Studio are you trying to install?
Latest version comes in two forms, but as far as I remember, both are shell scripts that should be executed as such:
either
$ chmod +x sun_studio_installer
$ ./sun_studio_installeror
$ sh sun_studio_installer
