I am trying to run solaris 10 OS on qemu-sparc64 emulator with command: qemu-system-sparc64 -M sun4u -m 3048 \ -drive file=sparc.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=0,unit=0,media=disk \ -cdrom sol-10-u11-ga-sparc-dvd.iso \ -boot d \ -nographic The execution reaches the language selection and then hangs: At this point I can't type on the keyboard because it's frozen.

I am compiling the Linux kernel for SPARC64 [with LLVM] and I'd like to not compile the vDSO code. I removed all the vDSO-related arguments in arch/sparc/Makefile, arch/sparc/Kbuild and arch/sparc/kernel/Makefile but is there any quicker/elegant way ? Thank you.

I'm trying to boot Solaris 10 or Solaris 11 for SPARC using qemu-system-sparc64 but keep running into problems early on. I'm using the DVD images sol-10-u11-ga-sparc-dvd.iso and sol-11_2-text-sparc.iso available from SUN's^WOracle's web site. **Attempting Solaris 10:** $ qemu-system-sparc64 -m 1024 -cdrom /tank/images/sol-10-u11-ga-sparc-dvd.iso -boot d -nographic OpenBIOS for Sparc64 Configuration device id QEMU version 1 machine id 0 kernel cmdline CPUs: 1 x SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi UUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 Welcome to OpenBIOS v1.1 built on Mar 12 2015 08:09 Type 'help' for detailed information Trying cdrom:f...

Has anyone gotten original Solaris 10 or 11 to boot with sparc64 under QEMU? What else should I try? PS: It is not an option to buy SPARC hardware or emulate 32bit SPARC and ancient Solaris 9 or older or use Solaris x86.

I recently installed OpenBSD on my sparc64 workstation and I wanted to use fluxbox for my desktop environment. When I install it and try to start it it gives a error saying "couldn't connect to xserver passing null display" I looked online an saw something about editing the .xsession file but it is not there I only have the root user because I didn't set up any other users but I did reinstall it once and added a user with but the file still wasn't there. I want to make fluxbox start automatically after logging in. I am very new to UNIX so please help. Edit: I actually also wanted to try icewm but it gives the error "cant open display: . X must be running and $DISPLAY set."

I just installed OpenBSD on a sparc64 based pc but when I try to do pkg_add -v firefox it says can't find firefox. I also tried installing nano, which installed fine, so why can't it find firefox.

I want to boot Solaris8 SPARC version by Qemu. $ qemu-system-sparc64 -boot d -cdrom SOL_8_204_SPARC.iso -net nic -net user -m 2048 But it shows this error:

I've got a Solaris 10 system on SPARC hosting multiple Linux guest LDoms which were installed on ZFS zvols. After resizing the zvol though, the Linux doesn't "detect" that disk resized, and from what I can gather this is probably due to the VTOC on the disk still specifying the old disk size. This is the mapping of the ldom using the primary virtual disk: ldadm@ldom0> ldm list -o disk ldom1 NAME ldom1 DISK NAME VOLUME TOUT ID DEVICE SERVER MPGROUP osdisk0 ldom1osdisk0@p-vds0 0 disk@0 primary Here's the corresponding zfs volume before the resize: root@ldom0> zfs list -t volume NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT ldom0/LDom/ldom1/osdisk0 13.5G 71.3G 3.10G - I then resized the volume: root@ldom0> zfs set volsize=40g ldom0/LDom/ldom1/osdisk0 This is the zvol afterwards: root@ldom0> zfs list -t volume NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT ldom0/LDom/ldom1/osdisk0 42.5G 101G 3.10G - However, when I start the Linux: ldadm@ldom0> telnet localhost 5000 ldom1 login: root Password: root@ldom1> fdisk -l Disk /dev/vdiska: 12 GiB, 12884901888 bytes, 25165824 sectors Geometry: 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1566 cylinders Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 8192 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 8192 bytes / 8192 bytes Disklabel type: sun Device Start End Sectors Size Id Type Flags /dev/vdiska1 0 192779 192780 94.1M 1 Boot /dev/vdiska2 192780 8482319 8289540 4G 83 Linux native /dev/vdiska3 0 25157789 25157790 12G 5 Whole disk /dev/vdiska4 8482320 12466439 3984120 1.9G 82 Linux swap /dev/vdiska5 12466440 25157789 12691350 6.1G 83 Linux native As already mentioned, I assume that this is normal behavior due to the VTOC label containing the size as explained here 1 . There's documentation on how to edit or print the label on Solaris eg. here 2 , but I didn't find anything for Linux. Am I right in assuming I need to edit the VTOCs, and if, how? Or did I miss something else?

I'm currently trying to install PCP on Debian with sparc64. Unfortunately it requires the package libreadline6 (>= 6.0) which doesn't have an apt package for sparc64. libreadline7 does and is installed. My solution was building gnu readline v6.3 from source (which worked), however I'm unsure how to proceed from here. Installing PCP via apt again lists the missing libreadline6 dependency. Is there another solution to this, other than building PCP completely from source as well?

Trying to get a driver (one of ours) working on Solaris 10 / 11 (this box happens to be Sol 10), with dev studio 12.3. It seems to be built, however, it crashes when loading, thanks to a NULL pointer dereference and the box now endlessly reboots. I found a way to get the ok prompt on my PC keyboard (hold Shift-Break) but I cannot seem to find a way to boot the box and not load the drivers! Single-user mode loads them too! Do I have to reinstall the OS or is there a keyboard-warrior way out of this?

I have application compiled on server with Solaris 8 and CPU UltraSPARC-III+ x64b and need replace it (due to server end of life) to another new machine with CPU INTEL 64b , its may be same OS or better to new version of Solaris or best variant to RedHat 6(7), I don't have a source. Our application is a network application compiled to SunOS 5.8 on sever with CPU UltraSPARC-III+ x64b but this server can down every second. My idea is open new VM with SunOS 5.8 and replace application to this new server. But I need help how best way to do it (the way I understand it is that I can open new server with CentOS 7, and on this server run QEMU with simulation of this architecture and OS), or whether there are other solution to this problem. Upd: I need install SunOS 5.8 with emulation of CPU - UltraSPARC-III+ x64b on server with CPU - Intel 64bit (Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v4) to production application (that need to run nonstop) , and question if/what solution for this problem ?

Here at work our machines are required to run off of old Sun Sparc5's (1995) all running a UFS architecture on the hard drives due to a Solaris 5.3ish base. The way they are configured it is not possible (that I have found) to hook up a second SCSI hard drive so that it can recognize it and allow me to do an internal copy. In order to increase reliability of these computers we purchased a raid array with a SCSI to SATA converter inside to write to 2.5" internals. This raid setup has worked successfully on the computers that use IDE type connections, using the same arrays also a UFS architecture. I have tried an OmniSCSI-One-to-One tool, it properly clipped down the size and copied all the directories but did not move any of the actual data. I was able to read the hard drive after with UFS Explorer and verified the directories were present. Found out when I took it to the machine that it had no data on it. I have authorization to purchase a computer just for the task of copying and backing up these drives. What OS or program would be best recommended to perform a copy that I know will work without risking a machine due to a corrupted drive? The computer will not be attached to a network, it will be a standalone. Keep in mind these are SCSI drives so I have to use a PCI SCSI converter too, if it is relevant. I have tried Ubuntu, it could not even mount the drives they are so old. All of the drives work as the machines are still running. Thank you.

I'm trying to use the Debian install media rescue mode on a Sun Ultra 10 so that I can use the shell to investigate an old SCSI disk I have. It seems that the last version of Debian where a SPARC build was available with anything more than a netboot image was wheezy (7.x). I'm using a copy of the 7.11.0 DVD 1 ISO. When I boot from the disc and proceed through the rescue install prompts I get as far as Detecting Network Hardware and at 0% the system hangs. How can I disable network auto-probing? According to the manual for wheezy on SPARC , the netcfg/disable_autoconfig boot parameter is provided for this purpose. However booting with rescue netcfg/disable_autoconfig=true at the SILO prompt does not appear to affect anything -- the Detecting Network Hardware step is still eventually shown and the system hangs. A responder indicated that the boot parameter netcfg/disable_dhcp=true is documented in the F8 help on some install media (although not wheezy for SPARC -- it has no such help feature), however I also tried this boot parameter and had a similar result. In search of ideas, I took a look at the example preseed file for wheezy , and it notes that the boolean parameter netcfg/enable can be used to entirely disable network configuration; however booting rescue netcfg/enable=false also had no effect. Perhaps the parameters just aren't propagating from the SILO prompt to debian-installer. Is there an alternate way to do this?

We have solaris zones running in [Sparc T5](https://blogs.oracle.com/orasysat/the-sparc-t5-servers-have-landed) server Currently a solaris zone run Solaris 10 OS version. $uname -a SunOS zone01 5.10 Generic_150400-30 sun4v sparc sun4v Going further, we would like this zone to run Solaris 11 OS version, because Solaris 10 OS is going End of Support. ------------------------------------- Critical goal is: We do not want to build new solaris zones(Solaris OS 11) at any cost. We want existing zones to get upgraded to Solaris 11. Why do we use these zones? Because we have a business application running on it, which is the actual usage scenario. My understanding for upgrade of zone is, shut down all solaris zones and upgrade Sparc T5 server(not solaris zone) from solaris 10 to solaris 11. Start solaris zones after upgrade of Sparc T5 server. What is the recommended approach to upgrade an OS of an existing solaris zone? Edit: I read that: "We can simply detach a Zone from one Global Zone (OS) and attach it to another Global Zone on another machine along with the application." Can't a solaris 10 zone be migrated from version 10 global zone to version 11 global zone? And then upgrade the migrated zone...

I am running Solaris 7 on qemu-sparc with lance ethernet card. In case with Linux starting dhcpcd is enough to get the Internet access. OK, I created /etc/dhcp.le0, network interface is up, but "ping google.com" results in "unknown host". What I forgot to do?

I am mirroring a zfs rpool for a whole root zone to move from one storage array to another. I have mirrored the disk, but do I need to install a boot block on the new disk?

I have Solaris 8 OS installed in French. I have a computer with Solaris 8 OS and French language installed. This computer isn't in my office; to access it I use Exceed. I have to switch the installed language from fr_FR.UTF-8 to en_US.ISO8859-15 How can I do that? **P.S** :Even when i try to edit /etc/default/init and reboot : nothing happens.

I have an old Sun Blade 1500, with a Ultrasparc IIIi 1.5 GHz, 2GB ECC RAM. SunOS 5.10, ufs filesystem. The hardware (MB, HDD and video card) is failing on me and I'm searching for a way to emulate it on x86 hardware. I have a DD raw copy of the HDD that I tried to mount it on Linux but i'm getting: disk cannot be accessed. I read about emulating it with qemu but I don't have much experience with Sun/Solaris and Linux environments. Has anyone tried and succeeded emulating a system like this? Thank you

I have a historical binary ObjectGeode which is only able to work on SUN SPARC machine with Solaris OS (doesn't matter which Solaris version). My questions are: - How can I run the program without Sun-SPARC hardware? - If emulation is the only option, which tool is appropriate for this issue? I would prefer Linux or Windows as host system. **Edit:** I installed qemu- 2.5.50 32bit.However I can't launch the image- ***Solaris_2.6_Software_05_98.img*** I used Cygwin in order to invoke command.Here it is *./qemu-system-sparc.exe -L . -hda Solaris_2.6_Software_05_98.img -m 256* But I got no response. It looks something is missing.Is there a guidance for windows launching qemu?
