Dear All,
I have tested open solaris and ZFS ISCSI on vmware.
Not i am planning to install it on physial machine. During the open solaris
installation
my Server restarted at 5%. Now next time when I reboot and run the installation
wizard, it does not allow me to format the disk and install Solaris.
It says Solaris partition already exist, I tried formating drive from windows
with a
NTFS partition and reinstall but no success. Can anyone help me to reinstall
Solaris on the same disk
Boot the machine from the OpenSolaris CD, and wait for it to bring up
the desktop.
Before running the Install Wizard, do the following:
(1) Open a terminal
(2) run 'format'
(3) chose the disk you're going to install to
(4) pick the 'fdisk' option
(5) delete all partitions
(6) Quit
Now run the Wizard.
Alternately, just overwrite the label like this:
dd if=/dev/zero count=10 bs=512 of=/dev/rdsk/Xp0
where X = the disk you want to install to (e.g. c0t0d0 or c0d0 or
something like that)
