similar to: Deploying Solaris on Xen via jumpstart

Hello, I don't know how off the wall this question will be, but first let me say that I've found your buildpkg.sh script very useful in creating an OpenSSH package for use on my Solaris systems. Currently I'm trying to set up a fully automated JumpStart system at my workplace, and I'm realizing that the 'postinstall' script (and possibly some of the other install scripts)

I have zfs on my base T5210 box installed with LDOMS (v.1.0.3). Every time I try to jumpstart my Guest machine, I get the following error. ERROR: One or more disks are found, but one of the following problems exists: - Hardware failure - The disk(s) available on this system cannot be used to install Solaris Software. They do not have a valid label. If you want to use the

I'm trying to get Knowledge Adventure's Jumpstart Preschool to run under wine 0.9 on debian stable. According to <http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=801> this program works flawlessly. But when I try it, it runs until I get just past the introduction and then a sudden crash. Fortunatly it keeps a log and the log says: MIDI driver error processing MENU\MID\MM000_.WSB So my

Anyone have idea how to create ZFS pool and volumes during jumstart instalation ? (I''m using JumpStart Enterprise Toolkit) kloczek

Hi all, I'm trying to use mboot.c32 to build our Solaris machines but the problem we are getting is the network interface doesn't get configured. It would boot in to the miniroot and then drops in to a shell. At the shell, if I configure the interface via dhcp it would continue on with the jumpstart. This is the first time we are using syslinux (version 4.04) and looking at the

Warning: WINE Newbie Alert. Proceed with caution.... Background: I don't want to fork up $$$ for a separate Windows machine for my kid so I've decided to see if I can run any of the popular brain-rot software under WINE (Is it "WINE" or "Wine" or "wine"?) on a Linux 2.4.18 kernel. My first project is a vintage 1995 version of JumpStart Kindergarten. Seeing

Not that I''m much of a Solaris guy, and definitely not a Solaris 10 guy, but since nobody else had posted anything yet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetSolaris#Solaris10 The good news is that it appears to be a completely hands-off puppetd installation. Just sign the client key afterwards on the puppetmaster and you''re set. The bad news is that it''s

Last 2 weeks we had 2 zpools corrupted. Pool was visible via zpool import, but could not be imported anymore. During import attempt we got I/O error, After a first powercut we lost our jumpstart/nfsroot zpool (another pool was still OK). Luckaly jumpstart data was backed up and easely restored, nfsroot Filesystems where not but those where just test machines. We thought the metadata corruption

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

I have a simple cdr configured with the default tables, here is a row of a good cdr report calldate | clid | src | dst | dcontext | channel | ect ..... ect .... 2008-08-29 10:16:49 | "C.

I have several pdf files as .pdf.bz2, as seen here: a/1.pdf.bz2 a/2.pdf.bz2 a/b/3.pdf.bz2 a/b/c/4.pdf.bz2 I want to copy everything in and under directory a to another computer, but I want the files to be decompressed on the destination machine: a/1.pdf a/2.pdf a/b/3.pdf a/b/c/4.pdf I could just use rsync and run a bunch of bunzip2 commands on the destination after the copying is completed,

Hello, Did anybody outside SUN tried to build xen-src (osox-src-2006-08-16)? I had tried it on x86_64 machine. I am running SXCR46 (I know that it says that SXCR 44 is needed, but I hope that this is a minimum requierment, even that it doesn''t say it explicitly, and that SXCR 46 is also good. BTW, Am I right in this ? ) ; I ran "nightly opensolaris.sh &". My

I have just upgraded my jumpstart server to S10 u2 b9a. It is an Ultra 10 with two 120GB EIDE drives. The second drive (disk1) is new, and has u2b9a installed on a slice, with most of the space in slice 7 for the ZFS pool I created pool1 on disk1, and created the filesystem pool1/ro (for legacy reasons). I them moved my data from the original disk0 UFS file system to pool1/ro. Initially I

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

Folks; During a jumpstart (2nd boot) of a Sun Fire 240 with Solaris 10 Update 3 (11/06), I noticed the following message; Jun 27 11:43:33 first fbt: NOTICE: cannot instrument return of fd_intr at 7b7d6278: non-canonical return instruction Kernel level was Generic_118833-33. Jumpstart was conducted using the standard JET modules. What gives? The jumpstart worked though. Solaris 10 installed

I'm poking through Solaris documentation trying to figure out how to make it installable via our PXE server and, as with many things Solaris, I'm hitting walls of completely foreign procedures and setups. Has anyone managed to do this before? I'm trying to set Solaris 11.3 up.

I was trying to think of a way to set compression=on at the beginning of a jumpstart. The only idea I''ve come up with is to do so with a flash archive predeployment script. Has anyone else tried this approach? Thanks, Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

With the release of the Nevada build 90 binaries, it is now possible to install SXCE directly onto a ZFS root filesystem, and also put ZFS swap onto a ZFS filesystem without worrying about having it deadlock. ZFS now also supports crash dumps! To install SXCE to a ZFS root, simply use the text-based installer, after choosing "Solaris Express" from the boot menu on the DVD. DVD download

I''ve upgraded my system from ufs to zfs (root pool). By default, it creates a zvol for dump and swap. It''s a 4GB Ultra-45 and every late night/morning I run a job which takes around 2GB of memory. With a zvol swap, the system becomes unusable and the Sun Ray client often goes into "26B". So I removed the zvol swap and now I have a standard swap partition. The
