Do I understand you right? You want to boot from your Debian DVD?

In this case, at the OK prompt you have to say

boot cdrom 

( or boot cdrom1 or cdrom2, depending on your hardeware - I don't know the Sun

boot net

means that you try to load the boot code via your ethernet interface. In this 
case you have to set up a boot server (dhcp and tftp server). Not a big deal, 
but you need an additional (Linux) computer.

Re: How to install Debian 6 sparc with RAID 1 at installation

2011-10-12 Thread Ad L.
First of all, I am not very experienced and use the i686 architecture,
but what I did might help:

I've put a variety of partitions on the 2 disks I use for the purpose
of dual booting. One holds the filesystems etc. for the other OS,
intended for legacy applications that I still use... may use.

I've made the first partition of Debian 6 as single partition of
512MB, to be mounted as /boot.
One of the next primary partitions is set up exactly the same on both
disks, to be used as sRAID devices.
After partitioning, I've set up software RAID using those 2
partitions. mdadm is used for management, and it simply works;
increased read speeds, no errors.
The only thing one might be slightly worried about is gparted not
recognising the filesystems, but e2fsck and similar tools appear to
work as usual.

Hope it helps..

Re: How to install Debian 6 sparc with RAID 1 at installation

2011-10-12 Thread ML mail
Thanks for sharing your experience with i686. I have now found out that SILO 
(the boot loader for SPARC architecture) requires the first partition of the 
hard disk not to start at 0 (cylinder I guess) but with the installation of 
Debian I have no way of making the first partition start at cylinder 1 instead. 
If I exit to the shell during install there is not even the fdisk command.

Any ideas how to do that?

Re: Re: How to install Debian 6 sparc with RAID 1 at installation

2011-10-12 Thread Ad L.
I was happy to have a MEPIS Live CD around with ext4 support. I've
used it to move data about and pre-partition/pre-format the
partitions, except for the ones used for sRAID.

I don't know if MEPIS supports the architecture you're using, but
maybe Knoppix would be more suitable. Knoppix has it's Debian base in
common with MEPIS.

Also, when partitioning with a GUI tool, keep 8 MiB free space before
the first partition and appropriate alignment keeping the first
cylinder free is guaranteed as long as the free space is honoured. It
might get you to end up with a second cylinder unused at the
beginning, but that shouldn't be a problem anyhow.

Try the mdadm tool to see if there's something wrong with the array or
it's devices. The options you may find useful to begin with, IMHO,
would be:

`mdadm --query`
To find out if a device is an array or part of one.

`mdadm --examine`
Will query the device that is part of an array (not the array itself)
and print out the metadata stored. That should give you some more
information about the partitions.

`mdadm --detail`
Prints out information about array devices (the array as a whole).

The tool has more functionality that could help you finding out what's
going on. Got no other usefuI ideas right now and rather think of
getting an account somewhere eIse, because this goole software or
whatever it relies on is being absolutely pathetic -_-

How to install Debian 6 sparc with RAID 1 at installation

2011-10-11 Thread ML mail
Hello,

I have a Sun Netra X1 with two identical 80 GB IDE hard-disks and would like to 
install Debian 6.0 squeeze (sparc) using RAID 1. 

Now I tried various methods but all somehow failed for example by failing to 
install silo at the end... Also my problem is that I can't set the physical 
volume for RAID type on the first partition of a hard disk. Is this normal?

Would be really very thankful if someone had a short step-by-step instruction 
on how to do that... or is it simply not possible?

Many thanks

Best regards,
ML

 I hope it's simply just that and the HBA doesn't need any programming via
 its own utility that accesses the firmware through some low-level API via
 the driver etc that I have packages for for other OS/Distros
 
 Have you looked yet in?
 /sys/module/qla4xxx/parameters/
 
 You should read this:
 http://filedownloads.qlogic.com/files/driver/51633/readme_iSCSIsol.html#sample_file
 
 paying attention to aspects that apply to you and ignoring those that
 don't.  I.e. find the conf files on your system with similar names.
 
 Also, if you can find a version of this script for the qla4xxx series,
 you should be set.  I've been unable to locate one.
 
 http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/qla-autoconf/
 
 If you can hack this up for the qla4xxx series it should do exactly what
 you need, from the command line.
 
 I'm already on the Debian Sparc mailing list but will enrol in the Debian
 Enterprise and Linux iSCSI lists as well. Thanks for the suggestions Stan.
 You DO sound like a Hardware freak / geek and I mean that as a compliment,
 of course :)
 
 I so wish I had one of these cards in a system.  I'd have likely had
 this solved for you already.  That said, if I could do it, you should be
 able to as well.  You already have the module loaded and thus all the
 conf files exist.  You should be able to find them all in a just few
 minutes, edit and save the, reboot, done.
 
 Also, given Debian SPARC has a driver module for that card, and it
 installs and works correctly, given the Qlogic doesn't provide a
 Linux/SPARC version of its GUI config tool, I'd bet there is already a
 CLI config tool on your Debian install somewhere.  You just need to find
 it.  I was hoping someone on one of these lists would have this information.
 
 Thanks for the compliment. :)  I'm not as much of a hardwarefreak as I
 once was.  Or, maybe I'm just freaking on lesser amount of different
 (higher end) hardware. ;)

  All through this though I'm assuming that since the kernel modules seem
 to
  be loaded already and if I'm planning to configure the HBAs via config
 files
  I don't need the driver that is available from Qlogic for the Redhat and
  Suse packages as I don't have to worry about accessing those adapters to
  configure them?

 Now you're starting to understand.  Everything you need to make that HBA
 work is
 already part of the kernel/module driver system.  You simply need to find
 instructions/information allowing you to manually program the HBA using
 scripts
 or conf files.  And you'll need the exact/correct iSCSI target path name of
 the
 LUN you want to mount.  This is the part where the Qlogic GUI tool comes in
 really handy--target discovery.


I hope it's simply just that and the HBA doesn't need any programming via
its own utility that accesses the firmware through some low-level API via
the driver etc that I have packages for for other OS/Distros


 Regarding getting into the HBA BIOS from that SUN box, it will definitely
 be a
 PITA compared to an x86 box if you're not familiar with the process, and
 especially over an IP KVM 10,000 miles away.


Haha no kidding, although the console works very well and only slightly
slower than most remote systems I've had to access locally within the US or
even within NY. We have remote power boot and remote console into it so
poweroff/poweron/remote boot etc is a breeze, the only hard thing is if any
of these procedures need stuff like hold power button while booting, turn
key to unlock ALOM etc which obv I can't do without employing smarthands
which don't come cheap at all



 Hit the Debian SPARC mailing list, Debian Enterprise, Linux iSCSI, etc.
  You
 can't be the first and only person to try this.  Someone out there knows
 how to
 do this.  Hope you can find him or that he documented it.


I hope not! These are the things that you hope like hell you're not the
first esp. when you're on a strict timeline :(


 If you need that box up and running now, ditch Debian and go back to
 Solaris.


Haha mm yeah I have considered that however, the core software that I need
to run on this box has little or very little Solaris support and I can
survive without access to the SAN directly through the HBA (for a little
while) but I can't without the core software platform having full support on
that OS, and I'll have a better luck with that on Debian than on Solaris.
Although this might quickly change with Solaris 11 etc. as that's becoming
even more friendlier and easy to manage/maintain/upgrade etc than even
Solaris 10 which is quite cool in itself.

I'm already on the Debian Sparc mailing list but will enrol in the Debian
Enterprise and Linux iSCSI lists as well. Thanks for the suggestions Stan.
You DO sound like a Hardware freak / geek and I mean that as a compliment,

 I hope it's simply just that and the HBA doesn't need any programming via
 its own utility that accesses the firmware through some low-level API via
 the driver etc that I have packages for for other OS/Distros

Have you looked yet in?
/sys/module/qla4xxx/parameters/

You should read this:
http://filedownloads.qlogic.com/files/driver/51633/readme_iSCSIsol.html#sample_file

paying attention to aspects that apply to you and ignoring those that
don't.  I.e. find the conf files on your system with similar names.

Also, if you can find a version of this script for the qla4xxx series,
you should be set.  I've been unable to locate one.

http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/qla-autoconf/

If you can hack this up for the qla4xxx series it should do exactly what
you need, from the command line.

 I'm already on the Debian Sparc mailing list but will enrol in the Debian
 Enterprise and Linux iSCSI lists as well. Thanks for the suggestions Stan.

I so wish I had one of these cards in a system.  I'd have likely had
this solved for you already.  That said, if I could do it, you should be
able to as well.  You already have the module loaded and thus all the
conf files exist.  You should be able to find them all in a just few
minutes, edit and save the, reboot, done.

Also, given Debian SPARC has a driver module for that card, and it
installs and works correctly, given the Qlogic doesn't provide a
Linux/SPARC version of its GUI config tool, I'd bet there is already a
CLI config tool on your Debian install somewhere.  You just need to find
it.  I was hoping someone on one of these lists would have this information.

Thanks for the compliment. :)  I'm not as much of a hardwarefreak as I
once was.  Or, maybe I'm just freaking on lesser amount of different
(higher end) hardware. ;)

  Hi Stan,
 
  thanks for that. Just FYI and FWIW,
 
  They actually do ship packages for RH /SuSE Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and
  Solaris for x86 and SPARC both.

 Note very carefully what I stated above:

 This is the thorn in your side.


Right, that's true! None of the packages I had worked in my environment
since using the packages for Linux in rpm format won't convert to deb using
alien (complains about some libpthread.so.0 library missing which is
actually there) and then trying to install the rpm using the rpm utility
isn't working either as it can't find '/bin/sh' which is ALSO there, but my
guess is that it needs the sh.rpm installed? so I might have to do that as
well. I should've stuck with using Solaris/OpenSolaris on
Sparc...considering I'm not smart enough to muck around with these
cross-platform, porting etc. and not all 3rd party packages are available
for Debian on Sparc.


 Regarding getting the Qlogic tools installed and working on Linux/SPARC?
  Yes,
 they are that bad.  In this regard your ship is already sunk, as you won't
 be
 able to obtain the tools in Linux/SPARC binary format.  Qlogic won't give
 you
 source to built your own, either, unfortunately.


Yeah it's all hitting me in the face now!


  I will take your advice however and go pester the people in these other
  mailing lists you mentioned to see if someone's tinkered with the
 available
  driver and utility packages to reverse-engineer/rebuild/port them to
 Debian

 The problem isn't porting to Debian.  Debian is just another Linux
 distro.  If
 the machine was an Opteron or Xeon you could simply use alien to install
 the Red
 Hat or SuSE RPM and you'd be done in 10 minutes or less.  The problem is
 you're
 running on SPARC processors.  If you had a Red Hat/SPARC binary RPM
 available
 from Qlogic you could simply use alien with that.  But, again, there is no
 Linux/SPARC binary.  You can't get around this, and no one else has either.

 As I see it you have two possible options:

 1.  Boot from a Solaris/SPARC live CD, program the HBA, an hope the
 settings
 stick in EEPRON/FLASH/etc.  This is probably a no-go since you haven't
 changed
 the settings since installing Debian onto the box.  This may actually be a
 good
 thing as it means the OS kernel needs to program the HBA on each
 boot/hotplug.

 2.  Assuming the device is configured by the kernel as hot plug, you should
 be
 able to find out where in sysfs the parameters for the HBA exist, and
 simply
 echo the parameters you need into those files.  Or, it could be as simple
 as
 creating something in /etc.  This is still a long shot, but someone on one
 of
 these lists I mentioned (or others) may have this information you seek.

 Don't waste time trying to get the Qlogic binary utils installed.
  Concentrate
 your efforts on #2 above.  If it's possible to hit pay dirt, you'll do so
 using
 path #2.

 Good luck.


Thanks Stan. I really appreciate you taking the time in thinking through
this for me. You are right on every account. I even opened a case at QLogic
and they simply said, just go and install Redhat or Suse and I'm like WTF?
You can't just change OSes willy-nilly. So then they said well just try the
RH/suse packages and see if they work, then that didn't either so they were
like ok, try and configure the HBA in the BIOS and add targets in the BIOS
and then when the OS boots up it'll attach the targets, the problem is that
I don't know how to get into the BIOS in these SUN machines. So I'm screwed.
Like you said, my only shot at hitting pay-dirt is method #2 above, but I
don't know where I'll find that info as to what files that QLogic manager
writes to and what it writes in those files to configure these adapters.
Maybe I can call Qlogic this time as you suggested as clearly opening a case
didn't help and lastly join the iSCSI mailing list and ask if someone there
has configured this on their redhat/suse machines and if they can send me
their configs so I can copy them to my machine by hand and see if that works

All through this though I'm assuming that since the kernel modules seem to
be loaded already and if I'm planning to configure the HBAs via config files
I don't need the driver that is available from Qlogic for the Redhat and
Suse packages as I don't have to worry about accessing those adapters to
configure them?

Thanks again Stan,

Now you're starting to understand.  Everything you need to make that HBA work is
already part of the kernel/module driver system.  You simply need to find
instructions/information allowing you to manually program the HBA using scripts
or conf files.  And you'll need the exact/correct iSCSI target path name of the
LUN you want to mount.  This is the part where the Qlogic GUI tool comes in
really handy--target discovery.

Regarding getting into the HBA BIOS from that SUN box, it will definitely be a
PITA compared to an x86 box if you're not familiar with the process, and
especially over an IP KVM 10,000 miles away.

Hit the Debian SPARC mailing list, Debian Enterprise, Linux iSCSI, etc.  You
can't be the first and only person to try this.  Someone out there knows how to
do this.  Hope you can find him or that he documented it.

If you need that box up and running now, ditch Debian and go back to Solaris.

P.S.  It also couldn't hurt to call Qlogic tech support.  Don't email them, call
them.  It's harder for most human beings to say no over the phone than via
email, and harder still in person.  Your gear is out of warranty, and you're
doing something they don't officially support.  However, you're still a
customer.  Most customers of SAN gear are _repeat_ customers, and they know
that.  They'd rather keep you, and your employer, happy, if they can, than send
you to Brocade or Emulex for your next purchase of a dozen, or a hundred, HBAs.
 SANs are big business, and no SAN hardware vendor wants an unhappy customer
spreading negative word of mouth advertising. :)

Reading all of the Debian documentation available _might_ (read: long shot) lead

I recommend you ask on the Debian Enterprise list, the linux-scsi list, and if
it exists, the linux-iscsi list.

Given that the box you bought has no less than _4_ GbE ports IIRC, I'd probably
recommend that you use the software iSCSI initiator and forget using the Qlogic
iSCSI HBA.  You'll likely save yourself a TON of time and heartache.  And since
you bought this box surplus at more than 4 years of age, it means you don't
_need_ maximum performance WRT your iSCSI traffic to your SAN array.  If you
_do_ need maximum performance, bond 2 or 3 of the GbE ports and get
double/triple what you can with the single Qlogic HBA.

Hi Stan,

Solaris for x86 and SPARC both.
-
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/SearchByProduct.aspx?ProductCategory=82Product=341Os=65

Now it appears that these packages come with an install script and rpm
packages or whatever is equivalent for the Suse distribution and tried to
build it/port it/translate it to work over Debian. So I was trying to see if
there was anyone who's maybe played around with it a bit or talked to QLogic
support in the past and have them build him a special package. I don't
suppose it would be too hard for the Qlogic engineers to re-package the same
driver and installer for Debian if they did it for RH Linux and Suse.
Alternatively, I somehow seem to remember that there was an RPM install
utility for Debian available, but again just because it lets one install an
RPM doesn't mean the packages will work. I don't actually know how each of
these Linux Distros are different i.e. RHEL/SuSE/Debian etc. Other than
different commands and packages etc, I don't know how're / if they're
architecturaly or fundamentally different that given the packages for one
distro one smart Linux engineer can't make it work on the other. So was
trying to see if someone has done it. But things are not as bad as you made

scsi_mod  167432  6

But I need to setup an IP address and obviously other configuration for it
to be able to see the LUNs/ Volume etc on the SAN it's connected to. On the
QLogic website, there are only rpms available for the SANSurfer
configuration utility. Or they have the .Z files for Solaris. Does anyone
happen to have experience with configuring these bad boys on Debian?

If your card is connected with more than one fibre, and your Strorage

Install multipath-tools, and try to configure /etc/multipath.conf for

Problema de instalacion con Debian en Sparc 5

2004-11-11 Thread Christian Cadavid
Tengo una duda que me ha dejado dos dias en las
mismas.

La maquina que tengo es un sparc 5 con un procesador
de 170 MHz, dos discos duros SCSI de 2 gigas cada uno.
Cuando lo adquiri tenía montado el SunOS 5.6 pero lo
borre de una de las particiones.  La version de la
PROM es 2.29. He montado Debian 3r.3 a través de la
unidad de cd pero lo que sucede es que el floppy está
dañado y al finalizar la instalación no puedo crear un
dico de inicio y por lo tanto cuando reinicio el
sistema, no carga el sistema y no he podido cargar las
imágenes de emergencia que baje de internet para
diskette de 3 1/2, ya que aunque he cambiado la unidad
por otras, el sistema me da error diciendo que no lo
puede leer y asi varias veces volviendo a instalar la
imagen de arranque. Mi duda esta en que no hay alguna
forma de crear un cd booteable de emergencia para el
Debian creado a partir de la imagen del diskette
(rescue.bin)?

Existe algún comando para poder acceder a los discos
duros desde la PROM? porque el sistema no me bootea la
instalacion que he hecho del Debian siguiendo todas
las instrucciones y ademas por algo muy importante y
es que cada vez que va a bootear me dice que no existe
la configuración silo.conf, pero como lo va a
encontrar si ni siquiera detecta los discos? ¿Como
puedo montarle el Silo?

Ya he intentado de todo y estoy asarado, si alguien
puede ayudarme se lo agradecería.

Configuration adsl avec debian - architecture Sparc

2004-03-02 Thread Rakotomavo Rivo

Bonjour,

Je souhaite utiliser un Ultra 5 (architecture sparc de Sun) pour être un 
firewall-passerelle pour le moment. Je suis avec Free ADSL 1024, j'ai, 
comme modem, le [EMAIL PROTECTED] 800 de Sagem.

Pouvez vous m'éclairer par rapport à mes questions qui sont:

1/ L'architecture sparc (ultra 5) sous Woody supporte-t-il normalement 
l'utilisation des cartes USB standards. J'utilise actuellement le même 
type de carte mais sur une architecture i586 sous debian et cela 
fonctionne bien.
A titre indicatif, après avoir mis à jour le patch hotplug pour usb, 
toujours sur l'architecture sparc, j'ai eu un message d'erreur comme 
quoi: usb.c n'était pas foncontionnel. Les modules C, PPP, RESEAUX, 
HOTPLUG ... sont bien activés.
Le woody fonctionne bien sur l'ultra5. Entant que client, il répond bien 
à mes attentes. Ex: utilisation Net via une autre passerelle, 
développement cgi...
Le xfree86 posait quelques problèmes de configuration qui n'ont rien à 
voir avec la distribution ni l'architecture.


2/ Connaissez vous une package adsl sous debian pour l'architecture 
sparc (ultra5)?


Vous souhaitant bonne réception,

Cordialement.

Talvez um arquivo corrompido, ou de arquitetura errada, ou 
sem permissões.

Talvez você devesse perguntar na lista debian-ports-sparc,
porque deve haver muito poucos aqui na d.u.p que usem SPARC.

Ah, e que inveja!

J'aimerais faire l'installation de Debian sur un Sparc 10, mais pour

Debian på SPARC 4

Hej!

Någon här som har erfarenhet av Debian på en SUN SPARC 4?
Jag är intresserad av alla länkar och/eller tips. Har inte lyckats hitta
så mycket själv. Jag får två stycken SPARC 4 snart men vet ingenting om
SPARC maskiner överhuvudtagit.

Mvh,

debian on sparc

2002-09-20 Thread Kevin Coyner


I recently received an old Sun SparcStation 20 that I'd like to load up
with Debian.  I've been running Debian Woody on my i386 and went looking
for Woody for the Sparc, but am only finding Potato.  Am I just looking
in the wrong places, or is Debian for a Sparc a version behind the
i386's.

Thanks
Kevin

robian-sparc is a Sparcstation 4

Kernel 2.2.20 does not mean it's not Woody. I installed Woody and
then compiled my own kernel since a 2.4 image does not seem to be
available from official Debian sources.

CLISP on Debian for SPARC

1999-11-12 Thread Randy M . Kaplan
Hello -

I installed Debian on a SPARC IPC. I would like to install CLISP on this 
platform. I can't seem to find a binary for this platform - it is not on the 
Debian distribution for SPARC. I am trying to build a version from the source 
but I am running into problems during the make.

1. If someone knows of a distribution for this platform, please let me know 
where you found it.
2. If someone has built and knows why the compilation might be failing because 
of a data type error in lispbibl while compiling spvw that would be very 
helpful. If someone can point me elsewhere to get some advice/help, that too 
would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Randy Kaplan




Maturity of debian for sparc?

1998-02-03 Thread William R Ward

I have a SPARC system that's currently on SunOS 4.1.3.  I've been
contemplating switching to Linux.  I would like some comments from
users of SPARC Linux on the stability and maturity of Linux for this
platform, and specifically Debian GNU/Linux.

I've been using HAMM on one of my PC's and liking it quite a bit and
would like to have the SPARC be more compatible with the PC's in order
to simplify administration.

Thanks for any  all input

--Bill.

Debian on Sparc...

1997-03-30 Thread Norman Walsh
I can't find any reference to the debian-sparc mailing list
(or did one never exist?).  Is anyone using Debian on a
sparc (or barring that, is anyone using Linux on a sparc ;-).

The heart of my question is this, is it possible to get Linux
up and running on a sparc w/o a CD-ROM drive?  Can Debian
Linux/Sparc boot off a floppy and establish an ethernet connection
so that the rest of the install can proceed off a mounted 
filesystem?

The ftp site has debian-sparc archived. Looks like it's been growing.
Check the debian-lists directory at ftp.debian.org .

You should be able to pull this off without a floppy - the boot rom
knows how to do BOOTP and then load a kernel off the net.
