Last time I did it the smart start cd's only install windows, though they have drivers on them for linux (after you've installed linux). I just booted from RedHat cd's and installed directly, then grabbed drivers from the smart start cd if needed.

Use the show-devices command to figure out what is attached to the system at the ok prompt. The built in cdrom alias points to the onboard ide bus, which may not be where you have your dvd attached. Once you determine the path to the dvd device, use that path as the boot path.

What does the show-devices command show from ok> ? What aliases are set? Can you cd down into the device path and see the usb dvd? What command are you using to boot from that dvd? If you are using ok>boot cdrom the cdrom device alias may be incorrect. You may need to set up an alias for the...

Sun systems can be installed from a network install server. I don't know how to setup a linux server to do that though. On a Solaris network install you would set up another system with the dvd image shared out over nfs, and set it up to provide dhcp for net and network boot image, using...

I think Oracle will maintain the Sun business, but primarily focused on optimized systems for Oracle data bases (ie systems that have a recurring software license attached). More general purpose systems will most likely get short changed.

Use the command eeprom (as root) to see the settings for input-device and output-device. You can change them by using #eeprom input-device=keyboard #eeprom output-device=screen This will take effect the next power cycle.

Indeed, final answer was to burn the cd set. One of the units had a dvd, the rest were cd's...

I've tried v8.3 smart start (fails to boot), v8.20 and v8.25 (boots, but only allows deployment of win2003 or 2008). I also tried to use a dvd of RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.3 i386 version, which the system fails to acknowledge (same dvd is bootable in another system). Any other advice?

Thanks- I'm pulling down the old versions and will give them a try!

Hi- I inherited a rack of DL380 G3's, running RedHat 2.9. I need to reinstall RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.3. The system will not see the RHEL dvd if it is put in the dvd and tried to boot. I found SmartStart 8.15 dvd's, one for x86 32 bit and one for x86 64bit. The 64 bit cd will boot, but not...

Try to do a patchrm 142901-12. It will only work if the patch was installed without removing the old files or if that patch was not part of the initial installation baseline.

Information can be found in the /etc/cluster/ccr/global directory (the infrastructure file especially). Methods and services for resource groups have individual files. DO NOT EDIT THESE FILES BY HAND!!! Changes need to be made via the established tools since the files are checksummed by the...

Check what startup script is starting the X services and disable it. do a ps -ef|grep X and examine what processes are running, check in /etc/rc2.d and rc3.d for the startup scripts.

If the server is up and running, make sure that the eeprom value for console is set to ttya. #eeprom console=ttya You can run the eeprom command to see what it is currently set to.

What does a probe-scsi-all show from the ok> prompt? You can also from the ok> prompt cd into the scsi card and do a show-children and a .properties to verify the card and the devices eg- ok> cd /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1 ok> show-children ok .properties Have you tried removing one drive at a...
