Title: RE: [FW-1] OT: Sun Ultra5 boot
Hi, try this....
Create your Solaris 6 diskalias:
under the ok prompt do the following
ok show-disks
you'll get a list of available controllers, choose the scsi controller, then do
ok nvalias sol6 ^Y <diskreference>
ok nvstore
ok boot sol6
explanation: sol6disk is the logical name you difine for your scsi disk
^Y fils in the scsi controllername so you won't have to type is
<diskreference> is what you have to type at the end of the controllerstring i.e. sd@1,0
look for examples of syntacs for disknaming with devalias
a wrong bootalias can be removed with the command nvunalias
lots of succes

Subject: [FW-1] OT: Sun Ultra5 boot
Hello all,
As you can see from my signature I am supposed not to have a lot of Solaris experience ... and this is the
case ;-)) I know this question is of track but maybe someone can help me, or direct me to a Sun/Solaris
mailing list.
We have an Ultra5 with two disks in it. >From what I understand the 1st one, Internal one, is an IDE and the 2d one,
external one, is a SCSI. We have Solaris 2.6 and CP 4.1-SP5 on the SCSI disk. Now I decided to install Solaris 8
on the IDE disk to test NG ... the installation is done, but I need to reboot from my SCSI disk now ... and I am unable
to find the syntax. Doing a probe-scsi-all tells me Target 3 - Unit 0 is available as an IBM type disk.
From the command prompt I see:
boot-device disk:a /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@3,0:a disk net
I understand this as boot from device alias disk partition a first, then try /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@3,0:a
then disk then network. Disk device alias points to /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk@0,0 which is the IDE disk.
I booted the Solaris 8 disk, and checked the /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0 ... it points at the SCSI id 3 disk, I even mounted that partition
and saw the data (ouf I didn't overwrite it)
So what is the syntax I should use to boot of this SCSI disk, known as c1t3d0s0 under the OS ?
Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien à vous - Kind regards
