[osol-discuss] A question about OpenSolaris Customize
I am an engineer of Open Community Great China. There is a company, that is a ISV focus on Storage Porduct, they are intending to develop a kind of Storage product and want use Solaris as the OS of that, and leverage Comstar module. But they think even the OpenSolaris 0906 is too large for their product, they just want a core Operating System, doesn't include GUI, doesn't include unnecessary package in it. And they want include their own software in it. My question is, does Distribution Constructer can do it? If so, what is the correct packages set for minimal live CD. begin:vcard fn:Jianxun(Kelvin) Chen n:Chen;Jianxun(Kelvin) email;internet:jianxun.c...@sun.com tel;work:86-10-68093995 tel;cell:86-13501085870 version:2.1 end:vcard ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] A question about OpenSolaris Customize
Hi Kristo Thank you very much for you point it out now I am downloading the image and go on with it. But I have a question, because it is a Virtual disk Image, so I worry about that can I use it on a real server, and how can I do it. Thank you very much.

[osol-discuss] A question about OpenSolaris Package
Hi I have a question about the Opensolaris package. My question is: Can I package a common application to a Opensolaris package and then I can install it use pkgadd of pkg command. If it is possible, how can I do it. Any one can help me, thank you very mcuh. begin:vcard fn:Jianxun(Kelvin) Chen n:Chen;Jianxun(Kelvin) email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:86-10-68093995 tel;cell:86-13501085870 version:2.1 end:vcard ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] I want to boot OpenSolaris from USB disk
Hi Aubrey Thanks a lot for your warmly help, You know, OpenSolaris doesn't specify bootpath in grup config file. It was stored in another configfile, so is there any way to change it? BTW, are you a Chinese, if so and you live in China mainland, I can call you for more clear communitation.

Re: [osol-discuss] I give up.
Hi James First of all, thank you very much, but my problem isn't relevant network card, I try to boot a installed solaris from usb disk. James Carlson 写道: Lu Baolu writes: I am encountering an e1000g error on Nevada snv_87. I am not sure whether it is the same as you stated. That's the one. Here's the work-around: One known problem with e1000g is that the new FMA support can cause it to erroneously report itself as faulty, resulting in failures. If fmadm faulty shows a Critical error, then this problem has hit you. The workaround is to plumb the interface with the undocumented DLPI_DEVONLY environment variable set. (You can move /sbin/ifconfig to a different name, then put in a script named /sbin/ifconfig that sets this environment variable to true and exec the original ifconfig.) begin:vcard fn:Jianxun(Kelvin) Chen n:Chen;Jianxun(Kelvin) email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:86-10-68093995 tel;cell:86-13501085870 version:2.1 end:vcard ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] I want to boot OpenSolaris from USB disk
Hi Andrew Firtst of all, thank you very much. I make the bootable USB disk by install Solaris on to a USB Disk. Andrew Watkins 写道: Chen, How are you making the bootable USB in the first place? Have you followed the example which can be located on ether of these two blogs: http://blogs.sun.com/dminer/entry/opensolaris_developer_preview_on_usb or http://softwareblogs.intel.com/2008/05/15/fun-with-usb-sticks-how-to-make-one-bootable-with-opensolaris-200805/ Andrew Chen Jianxun(Kelvin) wrote: Hi All I am Kelvin Chen, I want to create bootable OpenSolaris USB disk, and I have finished something about it, but I meet many trouble too, so, now I need some help on it, if any one have experience about that, please help me, thank you very much.

Re: [osol-discuss] I want to boot OpenSolaris from USB disk
Hi Hans First of all, thank you very much, for your warmly help, I make usbdisk bootable just by install Solaris on usb disk, so I can boot it normally on original computer, but, if I use the USB disk on another computer, maybe it will get trouble, because there are difference between the original computer and other computers. But my target is to careate a automatically boot USB that I can use everywhere instead of modify grub of other configfile every time. So I think maybe somewhere during boot procedure I can change the bootpath or some configfile by script of program. Do you have some experience for that? Or could you give me some advice where can I find some useful material. Thank you once again. Hans 写道: Hi, Kevin, interesting experiment. Could you brief your process of making USB disk image before more help can be given ? As a suggestion on a 2nd computer, please connect the USB disk. But instead of booting from it, boot from CD-ROM (or miniboot if any, unavailable for 2008.05 at default ?), and then do format to figure out the PCI path, and compare with it on the 1st computer. If they differ, mount the USB disk on the 2nd computer as /a while in CD-ROM boot, and correct path by doing, mv /a/dev /a/dev.orig mv /a/devices /a/devices.orig mv /a/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst.orig devfsadm -r /a # rebuild device tree It is useful to put the above and below in a script if switching computers is common. Now fix the boot path, by editing /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc and fixing line with setprop bootpath '/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0' to match the path you'll find mounted for /a . Fix /etc/vfstab if needed. Recreate archive bootadm update-archive -v -R /a touch /a/reconfigure cd /; sync; sync; umount /a; init 6 The ideas above are stolen from VMware to Virtual Box migration as in http://blogs.sun.com/jimlaurent/entry/importing_solaris_vmdk_image_into I think it might work for device migration in general. Give all credits to Jim if it works. Good luck.
