Cannot assemble drivers for root

UNIX Solaris

Hi,

I flashed one SunFire V120 (flarcreate) and dump the flar on to a SunFire V880. It goes smooth until the first reboot.

Any ideas.

I would be VERY surprised if this boot device made any sense on your v880. How did you install this on the 880?

Reborg,

You are wright. The output i�ve pasted on my post is not from V880, i�m not be able to paste it because i�m in system console and i cannot copy it, so the correct path to disk is:

/pci8@600000/SUNWqlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@< disk wwn >,0:a

I�ve searched and i think a need to install SUNWqlc package on the original box, but is a production machine an don�t have any fibre disks, i don�t if i could create a problem installing that package.

It is possible to install that package on the V880 with boot trough the cdrom? Or any other way to do that?

Regards.

I would just install the qlc driver on the production machine, it won't hurt anything. On the other hand you could install it by using the -R (mounted root) option in pkgadd with the system booted from CD or the network.

reborg,

I unsderstand wright, you are telling me I can install the qlc driver on the restored system booting from cdrom and use the -R option of teh pkgadd?

Regards.

P.S: I prefer not touch on the production machine.

yes.

boot from cd in single user mode, mount the root disk on /mnt (or somewhere else if you prefer.

then

pkgadd -R /mnt -d SUNWqlc.pkg

of course you will need to have the package on the cd, or else manually bring up the network interface.

reborg,

I cannot do that.

boot cdrom -s
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
cd /cdrom/Solaris_x.x/Product
pkgadd -R /a -d SUNWxxxx
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to open admin file <deafault>

I think its because my /var and /usr filesystems are not under / . They mount on diferent slices, and at the instant of the pkgadd commnad they are not mounted too.

Regards.

You need to create /tmp/admin file

# vi admin

instance=overwrite
mail=

Esc

:wq!

THEN try to run above command or

pkgadd -a /tmp/admin -d /cdrom/Sol*/Pro* <whatever package name>

then this will work.
