  • 1. Can't upgrade Solaris 7 to Solaris 9 4/03
    Dear experts, we are trying to upgrade our Ultra 10 with Solaris 7 to Solaris 9. The installation process shows us: ........ ........ .. To perform an upgrade of the Solaris Operating Environment select Upgrade. The Solaris Operating Environment will be updated and other contents on the hard disk will be left unchanged. Backing up the existing Solaris Operating Environment is recommended. 1. Initial Install 2. Upgrade Install Select Upgrade or Initial install [1] 2 Gathering upgrade information, please wait... \ At this moment a new window appeared with: Could not reinitialize system state. Please exit the installer and restart the installation. Here we stopped the installation. Any idea whats going wrong? TIA, Rainer Blaes EADS ST, Bremen (Germany)
  • 2. Network installation of a SPARC from an Intel ?!
    Hi all. I have spent my afternoon to find a way to boot my Netra X1 (cdrom less) from a Solaris Intel 8, in order to install Solaris 9 SPARC. The cdrom 'Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2' contains two slices : s0, s1. To search both slices, I have run this script on my Intel : # for i in /dev/dsk/*s*; do echo "------ $i : "; fstyp $i; done The result (only successfull fstyp are kept here) is : > ------ /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 : > ufs > ------ /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 : > ufs > ------ /dev/dsk/c0d0s4 : > ufs > ------ /dev/dsk/c0d0s5 : > ufs > ------ /dev/dsk/c0d0s7 : > ufs > ------ /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 : > hsfs > ------ /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 : > hsfs > ------ /dev/dsk/c1d1s2 : > ufs > ------ /dev/dsk/c1d1s8 : > ufs Devices under hsfs represent the "s0" slice of the cdrom. All other devices belong to two IDE hard disks. A little despaired, I connected an IDE cdrom to my Netra, praying for seeing a successfull "boot cdrom" : in vain. I am open for (almost) any solution. ;-) Thanks a lot in advance. SpiceBug
  • 3. Simple, Safe, Reliable Disk Cloning?
    Greetings, Can anyone point me to a safe, reliable and simple method for cloning hard drives under solaris, in particular, boot drives (under SPARC solaric 6 and 8)? This would be in relation to already installed and live servers. Googling seems to generate old and often conflicting info. TIA, --Duncan
  • 4. installing patch 112438-02
    I need help to understand the error I have when I try to install this patch on my solaris system. the error I have is : pkgadd: ERROR: PKG parameter <SUNWcarx> does not match instance <sunwcarx.u> Dryrun complete. thanks annamaria

Jumpstarting with multiple network interfaces

Postby Morten Green Hermansen » Tue, 27 Jan 2004 15:49:02 GMT

Hello!

When I jumpstart my V240 I want to configure all my 4 network interfaces and
not just only the primary device.
I have tried to have multiple network_interface statements in my sysidcfg
file but it does not seem to work.
Anybody tried this?

Thanks in advance,
- Morten Green Hermansen, Fanitas

There's two options.  Either setup a bootparams/rarpd server on each
network and configure them all with the correct details. (very messy!)

Alternatively, setup a post install script to manually configure the
required details for the networks.  eg :

echo '192.168.100.100     myhostname-bge2' >> /a/etc/hosts
echo myhostname-bge2 >> /a/etc/hostname.bge2
[etc]

In article <1075112179.165207@docbert>,





i think what you really want to do is:

ok > nvalias nicename ........the ugly path.....
(or do i have the args reverse?)
ok > boot nicename - install

ie, you're picking the interface that will do the fetching.
but i think you'd be better off doing it the via a finish
or postinstall script.  that's what i'd do.

1.Virtual network interface to multiple interfaces?

Hi,

I have a VPN (tun0) that operates over my Internet connection (fxp0). 
I'm using PF and HFSC to manage traffic (5.3 Beta 3), and it works well, 
until I try to introduce the VPN in to the rules.

The problem is, I need to be able to prioritize traffic accross both 
interfaces, not just fxp0. It isn't sufficient to just treat all VPN 
traffic as a single stream, I need to be able to manage individual 
protocols within the VPN and data sent directly to the Internet.

It would seem the simplest solution is to create a virtual interface 
where both data to and from fxp0 and tun0 can be treated as a single 
interface. The VPN carries handles a different subnet from the LAN, so 
distinguishing between them in the rulesets should be quite simple.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

2.single interface multiple networks + broadcast to all networks

Hello, 

I have a machine which is in one network say 192.168.1.0. 
But we have here a configuration where two networks 192.168.1.0
and 192.168.2.0 are local and directly available. 
So I had to set up two routes to the local networks.
Now this machine should be a cups-server to both networks 
and broadcast his cups-information into both networks. 
I seems that I can sent only broadcast-packets  to the network 
where the host belongs.
Is it so uncommon to sent broadcast into the other network?
Or must be the source of a broadcast packet originate in the same network?
Do I have to enable something under /proc/sys/net/...
Or is just cups broken? 


Greetings, 
	David

3.Broadcasting with multiple network interfaces

With two interfaces ethernet and ppp. I would like to broadcast to ethernet 
interface when ppp is configured as my default gateway. Does any one know 
how to do this?
Help appreciated. Thanks NR 


4.hostname for a system with multiple network interfaces

Hi,

I have a system with two ethernet interfaces with each ethernet
interface on an arbitrary network. When I give hostname command at my
command prompt what hostname should I expect? Is it possible for
hostname to returns multiple hostnames?

5.Question about multiple network interfaces.

Hi. I have some questions regarding multiple network interfaces an a
Solaris x86 box.

I have 2 network interfaces bge0 and e1000g0. One faces the outside
world and the other faces an internal LAN.  I wanted to know if it's
possible to use the same hostname with different domain names for each
interface. For example, I'd like to call the e1000g0 as
"sunbox.publicaddress.org" and bge0 as "sunbox.local"

I suspect I have to run my own dns server to get this to do the right
thing, but I needed to know how to configure my Solaris box to achieve
this.

Thanks,
Anoop
