So, as I said previously I burned a CD version of Solaris 11 text for sparc achitecture.
I burned it as usual using CDBurnerXP and "burn an image on a CD/DVD".
The burning process seems to have finished properly.
So, I placed the CD in the DVD tray of the Sun Blade 1500 and then ran "boot cdrom -s".
Code:
boot cdrom -s
Boot device: /pci@1e,600000/ide@d/cdrom@2,0:f File and args: -s
// here it takes a very long time turning / - \ | / - \ | and so on for at least 2-3 minutes then... //
Error: 'SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIIi' is not supported by this release of Solaris.
Program terminated
And back to the {ok} prompt.
So, we got few things now.
- Seams that the DVD player can't read burned DVD+.
- Seams to work better with CDs
- But, I really don't get why the UltraSPARC-IIIi architecture is not supported. On the oracle's website, there are only 2 versions (x86 and SPARC). SPARC is not compatible with UltraSPARC-IIIi?
ps : just asked my friend and he confirmed that this computer came originally with Solaris 8 or 9 (to choose at first bootup). If it's not SPARC and x86 what was it? Or maybe it was supporting UltraSPARC-IIIi and now Solaris 11 doesn't support it anymore.
After searching on Google, I've found that. So, Solaris 11 won't work on that Sun Blade 1500 as they don't support this architecture anymore.
So, no choice, I have to use Solaris SPARC 8 or 9 or 10 but I also need to use a CD version as the DVD player doesn't seems to read DVD+.
Wow, that's harder that I though.
Of course, I do not have a Oracle Support Contract so it will be hard to get an old Solaris version available on CDs. I'm searching everywhere on the internet for that, but can't find anything .
ps : just thought about that. Would any IDE DVD player would fit in that Sun Blade 1500? I can maybe take one from another computer and put it in.
Thanks again for your help,
Best regards.
/edit
Oups, sorry was writing this post while you posted yours.
I'll double check see if I can find another DVD player that would read DVD+.
Hi,
when installing a piece of third part software I get the error "Bad magic number" at one point when it tries to use libraries from the bea tuxedo server. Am I correct that this means that the software is expecting 32bit while I'm on 64bit? Is there a way around it or can it only be solved... (5 Replies)
