In the past going from one environment to another I used tar. Ensure that
the no hardware compression is used. Compress or gzip should be compatible.

Hi, I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this but here goes...
I have a user that's leaving and wants to take 38gb of data and
reports with her to her new job. That's OK but they are using
Linux and we have Solaris here. They have DDS4 tape drives and
so do we. Will x86 Linux read tapes made by /usr/ccs/bin/dump or
/usr/sbin/ufsdump from Solaris 8 SPARC? I want to re-use her
hard drives after she has left so I need to know that her data
will be transportable.

Dear Managers.
I have two plastic folders with Solaris 8. One of them is dated to March
2000 and contains 4 CD's. On the other hand I have one for Feb 2002 and
contains 6 CD's. Would anybody please tell me if the Mar 2000 CD's has
actually 4 CD's? I couldn't find anything in the Sun's pages regarding
this.
Many thanks in advance,
- Andres.

I need to add that I cannot use tar (as far as I know) because
the data is larger than one tape.

Thanks to Ole Morten Xian for his help.
The easy solution is to obtain Solaris 8 2002/12 or 2003/05.
Here is the hard way (not completely tested):
You will need to patch the boot image first; Assuming Solaris 8 2002/02 is
installed in /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-02/
patchadd -C /jumpstart/OS/Solaris_8_2002-02/Solaris_8/Tools/Boot <patch
number> using the list below in order. Some of these patches are contract
patches not available to customers w/o sunsolve accounts...
111111-03
112396-02
108987-13
108528-23
111883-18
108974-33
113684-04
113680-03
110460-30
113679-05
113682-02
109889-06
109888-24
113683-02
113681-02
111794-02 (May fail)
112249-04 (May fail)
The above step will work. The following step *should* work. I have never
tried it and I can't promise that it will work or produce a stable system:
After this you will need to write a finish script that will install the same
set of patches to the newly installed server. Use the same order of patch
installation and a patchadd command of:
patchadd -R /a <patch number>
I was you though, I would get a copy of one of the two supported Solaris 8
releases...

-----Ole Morten's Response-----
Hello,
I have jumpstarted 210 and 240 using Solaris 8 05/03 and Solaris 9 04/03, in
both cases no patches were required.
Solaris 8 05/03 is an OEM thing avialable from somewhere under
http://www.sun.com/service/online/
regards,
Ole Morten Xian

Subject: Problems jumpstarting v210 servers
I am attempting to jumpstart some new V210 servers. I initially had problems
with the boot image not recognizing the system type, I have resolved these
by adding the following patches as per the instructions in patch :
111111-03
112396-02
108987-13
108528-23
111883-18
108974-33
113684-04
113680-03
110460-30
113679-05
113682-02
109889-06
109888-24
113683-02
113681-02
Sunsolve suggested the installation of the two following patches but the
modules they patched were not installed in the boot image.
111794-02 Packages not installed
112249-04 Packages not installed
After jumpstarting the installed system does not boot, however I have not
installed the above patches during my install, they have only been added to
the boot image. I plan to add these patches and the new version of the lom
package: Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) 1.1 [
http://jsecom16a.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet?StoreId=8&PartDetailId=ALOM-
1.0-G-F&TransactionId=try&LMLoadBalanced= ].
I wondered if anyone else on the list has installed 210 systems using a
jumpstart server and if they would have any suggestions on patches or
packages I might require.
Thanks for your help,

All,
# E420R's all running Solaris 9 fully patched. 300 user population access
via
SunRay1.3. All was working well till yesteray when StarOffice stopped
working.
Patching top StarOffice 6 patch level 3 had no effect. Comes up but crashes
with a box that says "An unrecoverable error has occured. Modified files
will
be save and shoulbe be recoverable at program restart".
Any ideas on what could be causing this ?

Hello -
I was at the same state as Tony but on a Netra T1 AC200,
but have since gotten in to LOM via the JP13-14 jumper and
gotten past the "console not shared" thing by using the -u
option to bootmode:
lom> bootmode -u
lom> reset
power cycle the netra
do the jumper
lom> console
But I still have LOM user logins that I'd like to reset.
Right now all I get for usershow is:
1: [inaccessible]
2: [inaccessible]
3: [inaccessible]
4: [inaccessible]
I've tried re-installing the LOM package, but that didn't help.
Any help to reset these user accounts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Debbie

Tried adding the MAC address for the Windows box onto the ADSL router but it didn't make any difference. Theories: 1. Is it something to do with the MAC addresses on the Sun network interfaces being the same. Don't think its this as have tried changing one of them, didn't make any difference 2. Does the Sun need to do the arp proxy reply for the Windows box? 3. Although the Sparc should be passing the traffic in both directions, the evidence seems to say its not.
