I recently acquired a server for home use. Currently, I'm running a V210. I was wondering of a way to basically swap hard drives into the V440.
I would like to avoid reinstall on the V440 for many reasons.
Currently on the V440, when I try to boot up it forces itself into System Maintenance Mode. I type my root password to access the system. I then see that nothing is mounted. Since nothing is mounted, I don't have access to any commands. I copy a few commands into another directory I created on the / folder.
I also see that the drive sequencing changed. This to me explains why nothing is mounting. I edit vfstab accordingly only for utter failure in results.
I try to manually mounting a slice, and I get forced into read-only.
Code:
mount -F ufs -o rw /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 /mnt
Here's my vfstab
Code:
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
#
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no
-
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6 /usr ufs 1 no
-
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1 /var ufs 1 no
-
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 /export/home ufs 2
yes -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5 /opt ufs 2 yes
-
/devices - /devices devfs - no -
ctfs - /system/contract ctfs - no -
objfs - /system/object objfs - no -
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
sharefs - /etc/dfs/sharetab sharefs - no -
I also can not boot into single user mode due to lack of a password. I can not reset it because the hacked hard drive I'm using has no clue what to do with eeprom.

Hey,
I have a V210 with a failed CPU fan.
The temperature is currently at 84C and I've been asked to wait a few weeks before replacing as its a production system and it cant be shut down yet.
Is it too hot? Do I risk killing the CPU at this temp?
Its been like this for a few weeks now... (5 Replies)

I have bought from eBay a second hand Sun Fire V210 server and I'm really stumped at the lack of complete instructions on how to connect to it.
I don't have a Windows machine, I've only got Ubuntu and OS X computers. None of them have an old RS-232 port on them either.
In saying that, I have... (12 Replies)

Hi,
We recently bought a V210 with rack mount rails but no bolts.
Every bolt we try is an incorrect size.
What is the correct size to attach the rails to the server, and where can we purchase them in the UK?
Thanks. (0 Replies)
Is there anyway to get a USB DVD ROM to work on a V210/V240/V440 SPARC systems for initial installation? I'm drawing a blank and I can't seem to find any documentation on this. (3 Replies)
I'm currently trying to move a perfectly find harddrive from a V210 to a V440. From what I can tell, the disk labeling a bit different, (V210 is c1t0d0 and V440 is c0t0d0). My question is, what all do I have to change to get the V440 to boot off of this with very little complications. Right now, it... (21 Replies)
