Install GRUB OpenSolaris using LiveCD

Boot from LiveCD

Open terminal

#pfexec format

Note the diskid look like cd : e.g c0d0, c4d0, c5d0....

==>number root disk cd0s0 : c5d0s0, c6d0s0...

#pfexec installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/cd0s0

reboot

done.

Mount partition in OpenSolaris

Mount NTFS / Ext2 / Ext3 / FAT 16 / FAT 32 in Solaris

I often get queries about mounting NTFS / Ext2 / Ext3 / FAT 16 / FAT 32 partions in Solaris . Follow the below steps . Note that its only read-only support for NTFS / Ext2 / Ext3 .

* Download packages
FSWpart
FSWfsmisc

Note these are packages for x86 Solaris .

* unzip the packages and install it

root~#gzcat FSWpart.tar.gz | tar xvf -

root~#gzcat FSWfsmisc.tar.gz | tar xvf -

root~#pkgadd -d . FSWpart

root~#pkgadd -d . FSWfsmisc

* Now run the prtpart tool

root~#/usr/sbin/prtpart

It would result in following output
root~#/usr/sbin/prtpart

Fdisk information for device /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0

Now note the disk id. In the above example its "/dev/rdsk/c1d0p0"

Now run

root~#/usr/sbin/prtpart /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0 -ldevs

Fdisk information for device /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0

** NOTE **
/dev/dsk/c1d0p0 - Physical device referring to entire physical disk
/dev/dsk/c1d0p1 - p4 - Physical devices referring to the 4 primary partitions
/dev/dsk/c1d0p5 ... - Virtual devices referring to logical partitions

Virtual device names can be used to access EXT2 and NTFS on logical partitions

/dev/dsk/c1d0p1 Diagnostic
/dev/dsk/c1d0p2 WIN95 FAT32(LBA)
/dev/dsk/c1d0p3 Solaris x86
/dev/dsk/c1d0p4 DOS Extended
/dev/dsk/c1d0p5 Linux native
/dev/dsk/c1d0p6 Linux swap
/dev/dsk/c1d0p7 WIN95 FAT32(Upto 2047GB)

The above command scan you hard-disk and displays all available filesystems. Note the required filesystems to be mounted.

To mount NTFS partition use

root~#mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/c1d0p /mnt/windows

To mount FAT 16 / FAT 32 partition use

root~#mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d0p /mnt/windows

if the above command fails you can try the below option

root~#prtpart /dev/dsk/c1d0p0 -fat

the above command should list the available PCFS / FAT partitions in colon notation, then use the same for mounting (eg)

root~#mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d0p0:d /mnt/windows

To mount Ext2 / Ext3 partitions use

root~#mount -F ext2fs /dev/dsk/c1d0p /mnt/linux

To unmount a partition use "umount "

root~#umount /mnt/linux

Enable root account OpenSolaris

su
gedit /etc/user_attr

Remove first element , final resule seems:

root::::type=normal;....

reboot system

Install PostgreSQL on OpenSolarsis

Use Package Manager , check all SUNWpost**-8.3**

Install pgAdmin3

----
Open Terminal 1

su

Setup password for postgres account:

passwd postgres

usermod -P "Postgres Administration" -R postgres bearsoft

su - postgres

If u get some error e.x : su: No shell, u should config shell apply for postgres user

Open another terminal 2,

su
gedit /etc/passwd

u change shell apply for root, bearsoft (current user), and postgres account into /bin/bash

back to terminal 1, type:

pfexec /usr/postgres/8.3/bin/initdb /var/postgres/8.3/data

Start server

/usr/postgres/8.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/postgres/8.3/data -l var/postgres/8.3/logfile start

done.
