Data Sun SS10 networking

Hi Guys !

I am very new to this forum, but I have, for the past year been reading the coms inside. It looks very helpful for peeps like me who like to try many things, don't mind the hard work, but just don't know where to start.

I will start with an easy one (I think)
I am trying to set up an intra-net of 10 machines
2- SGI
2- SUN
2- Winx boxes (windows)

1- Linx box (linux)
1- BSD box

I know, it sounds weird, but I am learning to be a system/ network architect from my home, and that's the only way that I found.


anyways, this was the background info.


I am new to Sun boxes, and I now own one SparcClassic (diskless), and one SparcStation 10.
The probs, is that I want to set up the diskless one as ... (guess) a diskless client, and the SS10, as it's server.
But I don't know the first thing about Suns.
in the SS10, I have an external CDROM drive with solaris 8 CDs, but when I type [boot cdrom] it seems to reboot, and tell me that there is a media error.

I know that the drive is find, cuz it is an SGI one, and works fine. BTW it is detected when I do [probe scsi], in the SS10 PROM.

My questions:

1- where do I get info on SS10 hardware
2- SunOs/solaris install + admin for SS10
3- how do I enable the NIC
on this last one, I note that ONLY when I do [Ctrl+A], then [probe net] or [boot net] does the LED on my hub indicate that the NIC is alive.
then I type [go] to drop into the currently installed OS (N.B the two boxes are bootledged, since I bought them in a computer fair)
the NIC LED is still on, but when I try:

[ifconfig eth0, ec0, qe0, we0 .... + IPAddr] it returns "invalid interface, or interface not found..."


Sorry for the long message, but I thought that by explaining the environment, I would help you peeps out there (who have enough time to read this) to reproduce the scene, and hopefully give me guidelines.


N.B I have looked all over google for SS10 doc: found nothing relavant.


Hence, any help in this direction would be much appreciated.

regards from da Bionic one Smilie

NAME
xcalpr - print xcal calendar entries SYNTAX
xcalpr [ -c ][ -x ][ -f file ][ -d dir ][ -u user ][ date-spec ] DESCRIPTION
Xcalpr prints the contents of the xcal files. It is intended to be used in situations when you have no access to an X screen. It can also be used to generate entries for the standard UNIX calendar program. With no arguments, it prints any entries that exist for the next seven days. The program also reads the contents of the seven daily files and prints them at the appropriate point in the output stream. Each line in the output is preceded by the day of the week, the day of the month, the month and the year. Xcalpr can be given a date specification to select months and years. If the date spec consists of just a year number, then all the data for that year is printed. For example: xcalpr 1994 will print all the data for 1994. Several years can be specified. If you give the name of a month, then the data for that month in the current year will be printed. If the month is in the past, then the data for that month next year will be printed. For example, if xcalpr oct jan is typed in August, xcalpr will print October in the current year and January next year. You can select a particular year by adding the number after any months that you need printing: xcalpr oct nov 1994 will print October and November in 1994. There are a couple of special `month' names. The name rest will print the data for the rest of the month, starting tomorrow. The rest argument is not recognised if you give a year as a parameter. If tomorrow happens to be the first day of the next month, then all the data for next month will be printed. The name next prints all the data for next month. OPTIONS
The -c option causes xcalpr to output lines suitable for input to the standard UNIX calendar program. The -d switch is followed by a directory name and specifies an alterative location for your Calendar directory. Your home directory is prepended if the name doesn't start with a slash or a dot. The -f option is followed by a file name and xcalpr will write it's output to that file, rather than standard output. The -u option is followed by a user name and dumps their calendar files rather than yours. The -x option makes xcalev operate with Calendar files that are compatible with the xcalendar program. FILES
$HOME/Calendar/* xc<dd><Mon><Year> A data file is day, Month in three letter format and the year. xy<Year> A year directory. xw<Day> A data file for the weekly code, one per day. SEE ALSO
