Hi,

Came to this a little late, is this an ultra 5 or 10.

The ultra 5 has a SCSI drive and the 10 has an IDE drive, these are quite old machines and will need some TLC.

Trditionally, the Ultra 5 had SCSI disks and the Ultra 10 had IDE.

They are both supported, to Solaris 10

Code:
43. Sun Microsystems   	Ultra 5  	Oracle Premier Support  
44. Sun Microsystems   	Ultra 10  	Oracle Premier Support

Regards

Dave

I believe that Oracle have stopped distributing (or making available for download) CD media.

There are 5 CD's in the set because of the smaller capacity. You may only need the first CD to recover your system.

I can upload a copy for you to download if you can't find it anywhere else.

Actually this PC was given to me by a friend. So have tried calling him but he can't find it somewhere already. This is one of his old staff. Really appreciate if you can upload the copy. Thanks to you much in advance hicksd8. Have a nice day!

Okay, I've uploaded the whole Solaris 10 CD set (#1-#5) plus a Solaris rescue CD all zipped up into a 2.2GB file.

I'll send you a secure download link via PM.

Hello hicksd8...I unzipped the 6 files which labelled SOL_10_1106_1-5.ISO then a SPARC_RESCUE.ISO.
Please tell me which file I need to burn and make my bootable cd....thanks a lot.

The CD ISO's #1 thru' #5 are the Solaris 10 media distribution on CD's (instead of one DVD). So #1 is bootable and should be the one to burn.

However, I have also provided a Solaris Sparc Rescue CD ISO which is a third-party (non-Oracle) bootable CD containing various rescue utilities which you may find useful.

First thing to do is to burn ISO #1 and boot the system into single user and try to fix your root filesystem.
