Hi all,
I would like to know what is the best way to erase the harddisk before the
disposal of a E420 server.
Thanks
Geoffrey

It's built into Package Manager. Just let it load the repository and any
updates will be available by choosing to show Updates from the ComboBox

I would prefer to not upgrade to all of 105, thinking th
I've tried it myself, but I have seen a lot of blogs on how to do the dual

Here's one link that might help:

No, I couldn't boot the DVD in single user mode because I don't know how. I
did boot the DVD and gather some of the information. Some of the format
commands were impossible, as you will see in the format1.out typescript.

Hi,
FWIW, I have a Dell XPS laptop with a nVidia 7900 GS video card and
OpenSolaris 2008.11. I can use the 'nVidia X server settings'
configuration tool to activate an external display trough the VGA or the
DVI port. They both work flawlessly (I'm using the laptop as a media
center with a 42"
The Hardware Guys have a EVGa 8600 GTS that looks like it is
supported..
Will report back on the result..
thx

After re-booting I managed to finish the installation. In the install_log the
last line is an assertion 'GTK_IS_LABEL(label)' failed. The next to last line
says ict transfer logs succeeded. There were no CDROM errors in messages.
When I reboot, I get Error 15: File not found.

Blake,
Thx for the response..
It is working ok on Ubuntu but as stated we really want to go to
OpenSolaris.. (vs Solaris 10 x86) because it is definitely ahead of the curve.
I kind of figured that would be the easy way to go.. our PC guys said they
would order us a couple of Nvidia cards if nee
I've wrestled with similar issues in various Linux distros and ended
up spending around $20 for a dedicated nVidia cards for the aux
display. It ended up being a very easy solution. I have not,
however, played with this on OpenSolaris.

Just to clarify - does OpenSolaris use both monitors when they are connected at
the same time? If not, have you tried right clicking on the desktop and using
the tool that appears to configure the screens?
Thanks
Andrew.

One recurring problem in my weeks of fighting the dead fileserver has been

the stack trace from the crashes I was having, because I never managed to

if you have any data, please save it on a thumb drive or ftp it off to another
server.
Can you boot on the dvd in sigle user mode:
failsafe
and run:
fdisk -W - /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0
(or could be c0t0d0p0 if AHCI or SCSI drive )
format 0

verify
Then backup your current boot block:

Are you still having issues with iscsi setup, or are you referring to
different issues?
I don't have any iscsi stuff set up at the moment, but the last time I
worked with it, I posted my findings here:

If one day I would have a strange problem on my production server, I would be
able to fix the problem myself. Maybe somebody here would provide me a patch of
the kernel or something like this. I would like to be able then to apply the
patch, rec
Also you could see if your bios is setup for dual channel enabled for 128bit
vs. 64bit memory, I had issues when I dual boot and install Vista or Win XP
seem to require only 64bit single channel memory enabled in the bios. The other
issue that I have found that impacts performance was HD on-boar
Ram use is not a bad thing. Most good Unix variants will use as much
memory as they can to speed up applications. ZFS does this too.
A better test might be to run 'iostat -x 5' or something similar while
the slowdown is going on, so that you can see if the machine is
actually running *out* of me

Add a -v to the kernel line in grub's menu.lst file.

What's going on with this forum?
Is this the right place for help?
Is it dead?
Or am I the only person trying to get involved with opensolaris, set it up, and
use it?
Or are you all Advanced Solaris Administrators with no time to give helpfull
answers to not so advanced users?
Excuse the flam
I managed to make it work.
I was not using the "-V size" switch when creating the zfs filesystem, thinking
that this way I would assign the whole size of the pool.
When I used the switch, everything worked fine.
Thanx for the help not.

Irrelevant answers.
I've posted my iscsi problems on another post mate.
This post is about "Can this thing work?" "Is it a good idea?"

I believe the memory is used up by zfs, there were posts about this a while ago.
