Jumpstart 1280
List, I have a task to junpstart an old 1280 to Solaris 10. I'm a newbie to jumpstart. Someone sort of chuckled and said that the 1280 would be a challenge to jumpstart. I assume this is because the console access may not be as simple as current Sun models. Can anyone give me any insights as to what I should exp... 27 Oct 2009 18:09

format probelm - Warning: Non-contiguous partition (0) in table.
I installed Solaris 10 3/2005 on a Sun Netra T1 (I had reasons for wanting to do this with the first release of Solaris 10). I did not allocate all the disk space, thinking I'd leave some left so I could create a zfs pool. (I'd forgotten that ZFS was not intreduced until more recently. So I thought I'd modify the... 26 Oct 2009 16:42

I have read over the ZFS Admin manual at http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/819-5461/819-5461.pdf which says I will need to do Live Upgrade to co... 29 Oct 2009 23:11

Creating a patch
9 years later, and this info is still nowhere to be found! How does one create a Solaris Patch around a sparse package? The APDG has patching scripts, and some vague information, but the patch info that surrounds the sparse patch package is undocumented. I, as with the previous poster (see below), was able t... 3 Nov 2009 12:38

HP printers in SOLARIS 10
Dear all, we are using cups 1.1.20 on our Sparc running Solaris 10 5/09 where printers from XEROX and HP are to be used. By copying the XEROX .ppd files to /opt/sfw/cups/share/cups /model we are able to setup the XEROX printers via the GUI where we select the relevant drivers under the Model XEROX menu. Now we w... 19 Oct 2009 11:55

Installing Sol10 from DVD - USB drive as flash archive source?
OK. First I managed to format the removable USB drive as UFS. Then I could mount it as a UFS drive and copy my flash archive file onto it. I've got another machine that I want to install Solaris 10 and use this flash archive. So I boot from DVD and was hoping to be able to specify the USB drive as location of fla... 8 Oct 2009 11:10
