Problem description:

I downloaded the ISO version of Solaris 10, but I don’t know what to do. Installation. Can you give detailed installation steps or diagrams?

Analysis:

The ISO file must be decompressed and burned, and the ISO cannot be burned directly on the CD. This is the reason.

By the way, I will give you an article on installing Solaris8. The general process is the same as the installation process of 9 and 10:

An example of installing Solaris 8 for Intel X86

1 .Introduction to the existing system

1.1 Hardware configuration

Motherboard: Elite K7VZACPU: AMD Thunderbird 1.0G

Memory: HY PC133 256M Graphics card: TNT2 PRO 32M < /p>

Monitor: Samsung 550S Sound card: Motherboard comes with it

CD-ROM: Yuanxin 52X floppy drive: Sony 1.44MB

Hard disk: Golden Diamond 40G

1.2 Hard disk usage

PrimaryDOS: 4G----> C: WINDOWS 98 Second Edition

ExtendedDOS: 36G----> D: E: F: System data, of which Windows XP is installed in D:

All file systems are FAT32

2. Preparation before installation

2.1 Necessary tool software:

PQMagic---->Used to adjust partitions

Norton Utilities 2001--->Mainly use diskedit.exe to back up important sector data

2.2 Backup System data

This step mainly includes: backing up important system data, system MBR sector (master boot sector, represented by C/H/S as 0/0/1,

When accessed by LBA, it is expressed as an absolute physical sector 1), etc., so as to avoid minimizing system losses when misoperation occurs

3. Installation steps

2.1 System partition adjustment< /p>

Use dynamic partition adjustment tools, such as PQMagic, etc., to re-adjust the partition to leave space for installing Solaris.

The adjusted partition situation is as follows:

Free Space : 2.5G----> Leave it to Solaris

Primary DOS: 1.5G----> Original C: WINDOWS 98 Second Edition

Extended Dos: 36G--- -> Unchanged

2.2 Create a Solaris partition and install Solaris

The first step is to use partitioning tools, such as PQMagic, Linux Fdisk, etc., to create a primary partition in the above-mentioned Free Space.

For the sake of simplicity, use PQMagic to create an Unformated type partition or use Linux Fdisk to create a Linux partition.

The second step is to restart with the DOS floppy disk and run diskedit.exe. If it still If you have not backed up the MBR sector, please back it up to a floppy disk first

. The specific operation method is: press ALT+P and select physical sector 1 (old diskedit may select it through C/H/S

Select the sector), read the data of a sector, press F2 to check in binary mode whether the last sector is the digital signature of 55AA,

Press F6 to convert to the partition Check whether the partition information is consistent with the current partition. If it is inconsistent, it means that the sectors read are incorrect.

You need to check whether the operation is correct. After completing the above steps, back up the sector to a floppy disk.

The third step is to modify the partition type bytes. Press F2 to convert to binary mode to view. Every 16 bytes starting from the offset of 1BE

represents a system partition. Each The fourth byte of a partition indicates the type of partition. The DOS partitions are 0B (Primary DOS) and 0F (Extended DOS) respectively, or they may be 05 and 06 (the specific file system depends on the Different),

But for FAT32, it is the first one. Modify the type byte of the non-DOS partition created above and change it to 82 (Solaris's

partition type)

The fourth step is to manually record the Extended DOS partition information and then delete it (just fill in all the partition information data with 0.

If you do not delete the Extended DOS partition, Solaris will During installation, it will be reported that the partition exceeds the end of the hard drive and the installation will be refused

Step 5: Save the modification results of the above two steps

Step 6 樨. Restart the system. If it can not start normally, it means that the previous operation was wrong. Please use a floppy disk to restart and restore the MBR sector. If you can enter WINDOWS normally, use Fdisk to check the system partition. , if there is

Primary DOS partition and Primary Non DOS partition and the sizes are correct, you can continue the following operation, otherwise please restore

the original MBR record and then operate again

Step 7: Restart the system and install Solaris. At this time, you only need to assign the previously "created" partition to Solaris

For the specific installation process, please refer to the Solaris installation documentation.

Step 8. After the Solaris installation is completed, check whether the dual system boot is normal. If it is abnormal, it means that the Solaris installation is incorrect.

How to deal with it is beyond the scope of this article

< p> Step 9: Reboot the system from the floppy disk, run diskedit.exe, save the current MBR sector, and then manually fill in the information data of the most Extended DOS partition recorded above

into the two Primary After the partition, save the modification results

Step 10: Restart the system. At this point, the system installation is completed and dual boot is possible (Congratulations! Congratulations! You are now a multi-system startup

A super expert in installation! ! )

< p> Solaris

Solaris is a computer operating system developed by Sun Microsystems. It is considered to be one of the derivatives of the UNIX operating system. At present, Solaris is still a proprietary software. On June 14, 2005, Sun opened the source code of Solaris 11 under development under a CDDL license. This open version is OpenSolaris.

Sun's operating system was originally called SunOS. Since one of the founders of Sun Microsystem, Bill Joy, came from U.C. Berkeley, SunOS was mainly based on the BSDUnix version. Starting from SunOS 5.0, SUN's operating system development began to shift to System V Release 4, and it had a new name called Solaris 2.0; after Solaris 2.6, SUN deleted the "2" in the version number, so SunOS 5.10 was called Solaris 10. Solaris An early version of it was later renamed Solaris 1.x. So the term "SunOS" was used to refer specifically to the kernel of the Solaris operating system, and thus Solaris is considered to be derived from SunOS, the graphical desktop computing environment, and its networking enhancements Partially composed.

Supported system architectures

Solaris supports multiple system architectures: SPARC, x86 and x64. x64 is AMD64 and EMT64 processors. Solaris was once ported to the PowerPC architecture, but was later deleted when this version was officially released. Compared with Linux, Solaris can more effectively support symmetric multi-processor, that is, SMP architecture.

Sun also announced that it will provide a Linux operating environment in subsequent versions of Solaris 10, allowing Linux binary programs to run directly on Solaris x86 and x64 systems.

Solaris has traditionally been closely integrated with the hardware architecture based on Sun SPARC processors and is often bundled together in design and market. The reliability and performance of the entire software and hardware system are therefore greatly enhanced. However, the cost and price of SPARC systems are usually higher than PC products, which has become an obstacle to the further popularization of Solaris. The good news is that Solaris's support for the x86 architecture is being greatly strengthened, especially Solaris 10, which already supports the x64 (AMD64/EMT64) architecture very well. Sun has launched its own AMD64-based workstations and servers, shipped with Solaris 10.

Desktop Environments

The first desktop environment for Solaris was OpenWindows. Next up is the CDE for Solaris 2.5. In Solaris 10, Sun launched the Java Desktop System based on GNOME.

Software License

Most of the source code for Solaris has been released in the OpenSolaris open source project under the CDDL license. Both binaries and source code can currently be downloaded and licensed at no cost.

Sun's Common Development and Distribution License was selected as the OpenSolaris license and passed the Open Source Initiative review and approval (although it is mutually incompatible with the popular [GPL]][1] ).

OpenSolaris was officially launched on June 14, 2005, and the source code comes from the current Solaris development version. Future versions of Solaris will be derived from OpenSolaris.

Major versions

The latest (February 2006) major releases of Solaris are as follows:

Introduction to Solaris version SunOS kernel version release date

< p> Solaris 10 SunOS 5.10 January 31, 2005 includes DTrace (dynamic tracing), Solaris Containers, Service Management Facility (SMF), SMF replaces the traditional UNIX init.d script, and iSCSI support. The Gnome-based Java Desktop System serves as the default desktop and also includes CDE.

Solaris 9 SunOS 5.9 May 22, 2002 Last update was Solaris 9 9/05

Solaris 8 SunOS 5.8 February 200 Includes Multipath I/O. Introduced Role- Based Access Control (RBAC) function. The most recent update is Solaris 8 2/04. [2]

Solaris 7 SunOS 5.7 November 1998 The first 64-bit version. [3]

Solaris 2.6 SunOS 5.6 July 1997 Includes Kerberos 5, PAM, TrueType fonts, WebNFS [4]

Solaris 2.5.1 SunOS 5.5.1 May 1996 User ID (uid_t) is expanded to 32-bits. [5]

Solaris 2.5 SunOS 5.5 first supported Ultra 1 and included CDE in November 1995 [6]

SUN is no longer sold but is still available for Solaris 7 and Solaris 2.6 support. Earlier versions are no longer supported.

SunOS is still used to refer to the core of Solaris. The version number of SunOS is represented by 5.{Solaris version number}. For example, the latest Solaris release, Solaris 10, runs on SunOS 5.10. The Solaris man page is labeled SunOS, and it is displayed at startup, but the term "SunOS" is no longer used in Sun's marketing documentation.
