  • 2. Cannot Mount Root Path (X86)
    I have Solaris Express svn24 installed on an Acer Aspire 1691WLMi Laptop. It was working ok, then I installed audioi810 drivers. I rebooted, and had audio. I then installed acpi drivers by running frkit. All appeared to go ok and it told me I needed to reboot. After reboot, solaris will not boot. I end up with: panic[cpu0]/thread=fec1daa0: cannot mount root path The reason I mention the audio, is this appears also in the message buffer: PCI-device: pci-ide@1f,1, audioi8101 audioi8101 is /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1 pci-device: pci-ide,audioi8101, (rev. 0x04) at irq255 WARNING: interrupt line value out of range: 255 Failed to disable device power The failsafe does boot. It mounts my root device onto /a I have: setprop bootpath /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a in /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc /a/devices/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a does not exist, whereas /devices/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a does. /a/devices/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0/ exists. Anybody any ideas as to what has gone wrong?

  • 4. snoop and jdbc
    Hello, I am trying to snoop a jdbc connection between a client and a database which reside on the same solaris 9 host with just the one NIC/IP address. However although netstat shows the database to be listening on the specified port 4000 "snoop port 4000" does not show any traffic - although there must be some. Is this normal? the hostname is in the client and db config, Maybe the loopback is used by default. Any other way of exposing the traffic. TIA Ton

Booting Netra X1

Postby Sean » Wed, 30 Nov 2005 02:21:31 GMT 

Hi everybody,

I am a newbie to Sun systems.  I recently got a Sun Netra X1 server.  I 
didn't come with any harddrives so I installed my own in it.  I want to 
install BSD on the server.  I've got instructions online about booting 
to a cdrom.  However whenever I type the command 'boot cdrom'  I 
received the message 'command not recongized'  I can list all the 
commands at the 'lom>' prompt and 'boot' is not listed, only 'bootmode' 
Also if I type the command 'poweron'  the server starts up and does 
nothing else.  I don't know if this server is broken or not. Could 
someone help me with booting this server?  Thanks.

You're in the LOM.  You need to switch to the OBP to use that command.

See the discussion of the break command at page 45 of:

Given that you're new to Sun HW, I strongly suggest that you install SOlaris
on this server.


Right; boot only works from the OBP (ok prompt), not ALOM, which is where
you are.  To connect to the console, issue the "console -f" command.

HTH,

1.Booting Netra X1 from external USB CD-ROM device 

Hi,
I'm planning to purchase Netra X1 from Ebay. Since X1's don't have CD-ROM I
was wondering if it's possible to boot Netra X1 from external USB CD-ROM and
install Solaris from scratch. I've never done solaris install over
network/jumpstart so I don't feel like experimenting now to do it.
I wan't to buy 1RU server for network monitoring programs: netflow, mrtg,
maybe snort for a small network installation. Is there another Sun server in
that price class that would be better suited for purpose ?

thanks,
jmarkotic

2.Netra X1 - Can't open boot device 

Hi,


I'm rebuilding a Netra X1 with Solaris 8 2/02.....


I can build it off the network, and the build goes successfully.
However, when I reboot, and the box tries to boot from disk, it gives
me the following:


.....
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@0,0   FIle and args:
Evaluating: boot disk

Can't open boot device

......


and then it tries to boot from the network again. Any thoughts? The
hardware is good, I just can't seem to point it to a good boot device.
Please help.

- Thanks,


Todd

3.Netra X1 hangs when net booting Solaris 10 1/06 

  I have a boot server and a Netra X1 on the same subnet.  While I can 
net boot the X1 into single-user Solaris 9 ("boot net -s"), it won't boot 
Solaris 10 1/06:  it hangs shortly after loading the kernel and  
requesting it's address for the third(?) time (the full transcript is 
below).  

  Ideas?  Other posts have indicated that not having "anon=0" in the 
dfstab will lead to problems like this, but it's already set.

  Regards,
    Greg

4.Netra X1 hangs at boot time 

Hello,

I'm trying to reinstall a Netra X1. I try to boot directly form a other
used netra Hard disk with Solaris8 inside, and hangs at boot. We try to
do an "boot -s" and still hangs.

We try to put a CDROM on second IDE as a master, and doing "boot" and
"boot -s" with Solaris 8 and 9 hangs. This is a screen of the hang:


ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@2,0:f  File and args:

Maybe is a OBP variable problem? Maybe a hardware pb? Any ideas?
