Depending on the version of Solaris you run, and the disk type you use, you might run into problems with the disk size and size of the root partition. Solaris 2. Certain versions of Solaris 2. Thus root partition on an IDE disk should probably be less then 2 gigs just to be on a safe side. Please refer to questions 5. Booting from the 2nd CD the ones that is labeled as 1 of 2, not WebStart I would get dropped into the old style installation process.
But this is not a paragraph about multi-booting, but a paragraph about partitioning, so…. Rationale is that in event that you end up with a kernel panic, or force a system dump at the OBP, swap is where the dump gets written to. But if your system died, and nothing is going right, do you think that compression will be effective?
Used by things like fsck, format, mount, etc to address entire drive, and is never accessed directly by a user. Sun sets slice 2 up by default, so just leave it alone. What are metadb replicas, I hear you ask.
Under Solaris 2. For the longest time patching Suns was simple. Every once in a while once a month was the norm where I worked , sysadmin would schedule downtime for reboot, etc, and a day or so before ftp over to sunsolve. Bad sysadmin. This all worked until Solaris 9. By Solaris 10, patch clusters are no-longer there:. There used to be a patchdiag tool to analyze the patches on a current system versus what is the latest and greatest. Aternatives to patchdiag are Patch Check Advanced , vxpref , or patchfetch2 All use the patchdiag.
I use patchdiag, but maybe I am a traditionalist. So the solution is either to pay for a support contract, or sigh and be out of date. So for Solaris 10 the way to stay up to date is to start by downloading the latest free jumbo cluster from patch finder, and using a paid SunUpdate service.
Introduction I gave away another Sun Ultra 10 today. Sun has an example of use printenv to look at all the variable settings setenv foo bar — to set environment variable foo to bar. Most common settings that I use for debugging are: setenv diag-switch? Undoing the damage above is done thusly: setenv diag-switch? Can Mhz be pushed up to ? Oh, and as a bonus to the patient reader….
Ethernet Keyboard Mouse For example, to check for Sun platforms that support the Solaris 10 environment, use the command uname -m.
OpenBoot Commands To determine the system type on a system that is not currently running some version of Solaris, you'll need to use the OpenBoot commands described in the next chapter. This site features a searchable database to quickly locate equipment in three categories: Sun Certified, Test Suite Certified, and Reported to Work.
X and xbased systems are available from many vendors, and the components can vary from system to system. Use this site to track down the specific components that are installed in your system to determine if it is compatible with Solaris Check slice 2 by using the format command to determine whether your disk drive is large enough to hold Solaris.
See Chapter 1 , "Managing File Systems," for the correct use of this command. As described in Chapter 1 , slice 2 represents the entire disk. The computer must meet the following requirements before you can install Solaris 10 using the interactive installation method:. To meet these guidelines, Sun Microsystems, Inc. The software items formerly found there during Solaris 9 releases are now incorporated in the main Solaris 10 packages or are available for download from the Sun Microsystems software download site.
The Solaris 10 on Sun Hardware document collection, formerly found on the Supplement CD, can now be found with other Solaris 10 documentation at:. The Solaris 10 on Sun Hardware document collection includes manuals with more detailed information about some network adapters that are supported by drivers included in Solaris To determine which network adapter device driver a system is using, use the ifconfig -a command.
This command displays a list of all network connections that have been plumbed. For information on other device drivers, see the System Administrator Collection for your Solaris version at:.
Its multiple diagnostic hardware tests verify the connectivity and functionality of most hardware controllers and devices for SPARC and x86 architectures. That SunVTS 6. All rights reserved.
