Hi hicksd8,
Below are my answers to your questions
1-Not sure
2-No I.m not trying to add a new disk to this system it came to me on the state that apperd on the attached video,and I.m asked to reinstall sunos 2.5 on it.
3-Not sure
4-Not sure
Okay, that doesn't give me enough information to pinpoint the issue. However, I understand we are trying to build the system from scratch.
At this time I can only write some specific points that may help........
1. Check the firmware version the Ultra10 has. The drive in the box may be larger than this firmware can understand. What size is this disk?
2. Solaris 2.5 is extremely old and only supports 2GB filesystems. This doesn't mean that you can't use a drive larger than this (you can put multiple filesystems on the drive) but it would be difficult to use, say, a 100GB drive; that's 50 filesystems!!!!!
Hi,
as being discussed in this Thread some time ago, I need the "Solaris Operating Environment Installation CD" to be able to install Solaris releases before 7 on my lovely U80. Part number is 704-7076-10.
Does anyone still have this hanging around?
Regards,
Oli

Not necessarily a Solaris question, but thought this the best place for it.
My main Linux/OpenBSD workstation (really old athlon) is on its way out, and I am considering getting an Ultra 30 or 60 to replace it with. If I go with a dual proc 60 I'll get SMP support on Linux. Most systems I've... (1 Reply)
