Couldn't upgrade Solaris 10 x86 from Sun Fire x2200 to Dell Precision Wrkst
Dear Solaris Experts,I need to clone a Solaris 10 x86 system using a ufsdump backup from the following source & target servers:
Code:
Sun Fire x2200 M2 with Quad Core Processor # /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag System Configuration: Sun Microsystems Sun Fire X2200 M2 with Quad Core Processr BIOS Configuration: Sun Microsystems S39_3D12 10/06/2008 # uname -a SunOS old 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc to Dell Precision WorkStation 390 # /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag System Configuration: Dell Inc. Precision Workstation 390 BIOS Configuration: Dell Inc. 2.3.0 05/01/2007 # uname -a SunOS 5.10 Generic_139556-08 i86pc i386 i86pc
The source Sun Fire x2200 had two mirrored disks but I am restoring the backups to a single harddisk. Any idea on what step has been missed or that it is not possible to go down this path altogether.
I have tried a number of different reinstallations & restores but have not had much luck still.
Many thanks,
George

I am new to Sun.
I brought Sun Fire 280R to practice UNIX. What are the requirements for the monitor/CRT? Will it burn out old non-Sun CRTs? Does it need LCD monitor?
Thanks. (3 Replies)
