It's ok folks, i got it figured out (by sheer accident!) I removed the rsc card, guessing that this would restore default communications to the serial port. I powered up from the power button, and was waiting to see if i can get anything through hyper terminal. (8N1 9600) After a minute or so...

Hi there, I have a 480 server, whose rsc port i have access to. I can login to the rsc, but i have problems with the ok prompt. I tried using bootmode -u, poweron, reset, but when i give the console command, the system seems hanged. The hard disks in the server had an OS installed, but that...

Hi there, I want to find the procedure to install the Solaris 9 OS on a SunFire V 120 from a Winblows laptop. The details are that the 120 has no CD - DVD drive, and i was wondering if i can take advantage of the laptop's drive to do the installation. From the search i did i could only find...

Thank you all for your replies. The disk didn't show up at first boot, but got it recognized afterwards in the Format menu. I now have a 146 GB disk (actually 136 GB usable) with the moint point ok. Thanks once again

Gee, thanks for all your replies folks, Ok, first off, Oracle wants a mount point named /oradata. They want it permanent, which means it has to be there after reboot. They have to have priviledges on it. The V480 has two sockets for disks, the one is already occupied, this second one will host...

Hello, I want to add a second drive to a SunFire V480 Server, this one being a FCAL 146 GB disk. There's already an 32 GB disk having the OS Solaris 9. This is not going to be a hot-plug situation, the disk will not replace any existing one. It will simply be a second drive for storing data. I...

Ok, nevermind, i found it! There's a URL which helped me a lot, and since it's under the OPL i suppose there's no problem giving the link: http://www.softpanorama.org/Solaris/Disks_and_filesystems/mounting_cdrom_on_solaris.shtml It did my job, but there's a minor drawback: you have to re-edit...

My V280 has a CDROM drive mounted, whereas the V480 doesn't. Anyone got an idea of how to mount the cdrom in a way that it will be shared with the 480? Actually not necessary the whole cd, but a subdirectory.i need to install the rsc package to the V480, which has just recently received an 9...

Hey smishra, That is a procedure you can use after installing the rsc software, which i have allready done. However, there is a minor detail, and a catch in it: You can only issue such commands as long as the rsc card is plugged-in. The uname commands make the changes to the rsc cards when...

My problem goes like this: The rsc cards have been user/password protected for a long time. The systems administrator has long been retired (for medical reasons)and no one seems to know the passwords. Thus, i have two servers sitting with their rsc cards locked. This means that i can't reset...

Anyone managed to really reset an RSC card on a V480 or a V280? I can "talk" to the parallel port with a laptop, but what are the detailed steps to reset the rsc??

It's under Solaris 9 and the backup drive is a Sun Storedge L8 with an 8 tape capacity..

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to copy a tape to a new tape using the same robot under Veritas Netbackup 5? Or for that matter, any means of dumping a tape to disk and copy from there?? Thanks in advance..

Well, there's two main problems: My V280 has an RSC card, which asks fro login password, which we don't have. (retired long ago admin) The instructions say to get a console using the Serial A port (a 25-pin jack). Using Hyperterminal i get no communication with it whatsoever. So, any other port...

No, i'm not in the process of restoring anything, we're trying to build a data disaster recovery station, and the machines to equip it are less than the original package. Thus, we're not going to use any cluster architecture. The V120 has already been given the firewall role, with an OpenBSD 3.8...

Hey folks, i got this all figured out on my own.. In case anyone else gets into the same trouble, try removing the CDROM drive from your V120 after installation of 3.8. Mine booted just fine afterwards.

Hi y'all, I have attempted to install the OpenBSD version 3.8 for Sparc 64 on my SunFire V120, and although it seems that no problems appeared during the installation, on boot, i reach a point where the system seems to halt, without any noticeable errors. It goes through a sort of diagnostic...

Allright, first action: We set up the V120 as a firewall machine, using OpenBSD 3.8 for Sparc 64. We gave it an IP from the original set of servers package, and an internal IP from a new package which will be used for intercommunication between the disaster servers. Anything new i'll let you all...

It appears that we haven't yet found anyone with prior experience... Anyway, i was speaking with a friend technician who told me that since the database will be installed there too, we need instructions - opinions from Oracle themselves, who will tell us how they want the OS configured in order...
