Upgrade solaris 8 to solaris 10 with DiskSuite

Hello
After years of not using Solaris I find I have to upgrade a Sun V240 from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10. My concern is that the disks are managed by DiskSuite. Do I have to back DiskSuite out before I do the upgrade and upgrade just on the underlying disks? Or is Solaris clever enough to not have to do this now?
I have looked around but would just like a definative answer from someone on here.
Many Thanks
Darren.

Hi,
You can use a IEAK 10 to deploy the installation of IE 10, build your own package, you can add any additional installations or updates you may want to tack onto your Internet Explorer 10 instal.
This is the download link
Internet Explorer Administration Kit 10

  • Does Solaris 8 come with Disksuite? If so where is it?

    We have recently purchased a Netra T1 which comes with Solaris 8
    pre-installed (and no CD Roms). I want to be able to configure the 6 SCSI
    drives that we have with this machine as a single device - and I believe that
    the tool I need for this is called 'DiskSuite'.
    However I can't find any of the disksuite commands on our machine, and
    it doesn't look like it is installed.
    Can anybody tell me:
    - Is Disksuite the tool that I need to join multiple disks together into
    a single Raid5 device?
    - If so, is it supplied with Solaris 8
    - And if so, where can I get hold of it?
    Many thanks,

    you can download the software 2 of 2 cd, which has the Disksuite 4.2.1 software on it, from:
    http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html
    The documentation for the disksuite package can be found at docs.sun.com

  • Can't upgrade V245 to Solaris 10 5/09

    Hi!
    We have a *{color:#800000}V245{color}* running Solaris 10 8/07 with the following firmware:
    SC Version v1.6
    SC Bootmon Version v1.6.1
    Firmware version 1.18.05.00
    My /etc/vfstab shows a mirrored drive (I didn't set it up)
    h4. /dev/md/dsk/d10 /dev/md/rdsk/d10 / ufs 1 no logging
    h4. #/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 /metadb ufs 2 yes logging
    When trying to upgrade the system, after verifying the OS, I get this message:
    h4. The Solaris Version (Solaris 10) on slice d10 (c0t0d0s0
    h4. c1t1d0s0) cannot be upgraded.
    h4. A file system listed in the file system table (vfstab) could not
    h4. be checked by fsck.
    So it forces me to install a fresh OS, which we want to avoid.
    I mention the firmware version because I have another server (exact same configuration apparently) and I was able to upgrade without a problem, but it had the old firmware ( *1.08.04.00*)
    Anybody has experience with this?
    Can I downgrade the firmware version to upgrade the OS and the upgrade the FW again?

    Sorry to tell you, but 10.6 will only install on intel machines, your G5 is not an intel machine, it's a PowerPC.

  • Upgrading GIMP in Solaris 10

    I would like to upgrade GIMP in Solaris 10 to the version used in Solaris Express DE.
    What is the best way to do this?

    i didnt however i wasnt hammering it. if the load was expected to be high i would have done the io layout diff (try and follow some of oracles ideas: SAME for one, if possible).
    some depends on the load and the load from the other zones. you can use allocate resource limits to give more priority to more important zones or make sure you have enough resources to start. what type of load are you expecting?

    I have added the library path to the makefile with the -L option & also given the library name with -l option.
    Any help would be appreciated...

Is there anybody who can tell me the difference between them?? And does anyone have any experience with an easy to use solar charger than can be used to charge a laptop battery? I'm trying to help a friend out and i've got no experience with these.
    I really appreciate, thanks!

    Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
    After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
    I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
    So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
    I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
    I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
    This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
    I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
    Ideas anyone ?

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • After I upgraded my iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up sending text messages.  It will send a few, then mid conversation I will have to turn my phone off and back on, sometimes a few times, before it will allow me to send or receive messages again.

    After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages.  I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again.  I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem.    Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone.  Thanks!

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Upgraded my 2009 iMac with ssd drive

    Hello
    I wanted to share my experience with upgrading my late 2009 iMac replacing the DVD drive with a 240GB SSD drive and upgrading the hard drive to a 3TB hard drive. Back a year ago I upgraded the factory 1TB with a seagate 2TB which was the main internal drive holding the osx. With needing more room I discovered the seagate 3TB also had the necessary heat sensor connector, so I knew that 3TB drive would work. Adding the 240GB SSD was a last minute decision. Plus, I seldom use the factory standard DVD drive and discovered that my LG brand USB dvd drive actually works when attached to the iMac. Operates just like the factory DVD drive.
    So having done an upgrade before on this machine, I was not too concerned, but have to add that all did not go well this time.
    Alter removing the screen and all the screws, then while carefully unplugging all the wires attached to the monitor, that one plug labeled LCD TEMP, that tiny little plug, broke at the circuit board. I was not using too much pressure and suspect the stress on these delicate connections had reached the limit. Both from the previous upgrade, and now another. The plug was simply stressed and ready to give way.
    Maybe this plug was defective, I don't know, but the snap-in plug pulled the top of the black plastic circuit board connector off, exposing the two copper connector prongs. Not only that, but the two copper prongs that were now exposed were curled upward. Making re-attachment of the plug near impossible. So I figured maybe i could re-attach the tiny LCD TEMP plug back onto the exposed prongs and then electrical tape over to hold in-place. But first I had to somehow get the curl out of the two copper connector prongs for the plug to connect.
    Well, while using a small screw driver to try to flatten out the curled copper prongs, one copper prong exceeded its stress level and broke off. Could not take the stress of being bent and messed with. Everything inside these machines are extremely delicate, as everyone knows only too well that has ever opened up their imac.
    And now, a broken LCD TEMP circuit board connector. What to do, what to do?
    Kill two birds with one stone.....
    But first I wondered if this LCD TEMP sensor would keep the system from operating, so I put the machine back together, half way together, and powered it up.
    The machine came to life, however, the CPU fan was running crazy fast 3800 and noisy as ****.
    Googling this, I came across another person that had the same LCD TEMP cable break, and saying their CPU fan went crazy in the same way.
    So I realized somehow the system needed this LCD TEMP connector, connected.
    What to do, what to do?
    I ran over to radio shack and bought the lowest wattage soldering iron they sold.
    Now, this killing two birds with one stone part...
    I had to somehow solder two new wires onto the spot where this LCD TEMP board connector attached to the circut board.
    No easy task since there was only a hair-lines space between the two circuit board connectors. I had to somehow achieve the impossible.
    And while at it, killing off the second bird, I could replace this LCD TEMP wire itself with new much longer wire set, making this disassemble - reassemble thing much easier.
    Well I pulled it off.
    I was able to solder two new wires to the spots on the circuit board where this LCD TEMP connector sits.
    Without bleeding solder onto the partner connector just a hairs-line spaced between.
    Then I patched in this new and longer pair of wires from the circuit board LCD TEMP to the monitor LCD TEMP sensor.
    And finally, replaced the DVD drive with the new 240GB SSD drive, slapped the machine back together half way just enough to power it up, cloned the osx hard drive to the SSD drive, "option-restart" the machine and booted from the new SSD drive, everything working as it should.
    I even dismounted the orginal internal hard drive holding the osx, and ran the system to ensure everything worked, which it did.
    Next, tore the iMac back down, replaced the 2TB hard drive with a new 3TB hard drive, and for a final time slapped the system back together.
    Everything is operating perfect,
    Naturally, had to format the new 3TB hard drive, and will move all my iTunes media back to that new drive I had temporally stored on an external USB drive.
    Fans are all running at normal speeds.
    System is once again silent when running.
    And this is the last and final time I will ever upgrade this particular machine sober.
    Just some advice, this is some of the unforeseen mishaps that can occur when upgrading any iMac.
    And this could have ended in disaster.
    Luckily however, I had just enough luck and experience to get thru the hurdles, now I have a better, bigger, faster iMac.
    Like they say, this self upgrading is not for the faint of heart.
    For awhile I seen myself listing this on eBay as a dead 27" late 2009 iMac for sale for parts.
    Not the case, well at least not the case this time....

    Congratulations on not panicing and stating it like it is. Clearly upgrading the internals of an iMac is not for the faint of heart, I plan on keeping your post if for no other reason to show others why a do-it-yourself on an iMac is a pretty foolish thing to undertake.
