Solaris 10 09/10 install does not start

878980Jul 29 2011 — edited Aug 5 2011
Hello experts,

I'm trying to install Sol 10 U9 on my x86_64 server. When I boot through the OS DVD, installation stops at
"SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_xxxx 64-bit
Copyright ...."
It doesnt go beyind this point.

I added -kdv to the kernel grub line.
[0]> moddebug/W 0x80000000
[0]> :c

Found that the installation stops at
"Load 'drv/i8042' id 87 loaded @ 0xffff.../0xfff... size 4784/496
installing i8042, module id 87"

There is no keyboard/mouse connected to this server.

I'm stuck here and can't proceed any further.Any help here is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Karthick

Is Oracle SQL Developer tool suitable for this migration?

Hi Suresh,

     If you look at the links provided by Abhi to previous threads you will see that SQL*Developer doesn't currently support Postgres migrations.  There are suggested alternatives in the referenced threads.

As per earlier threads, Oracle SQL developer doesn't support Postgres to Oracle migration hence you need to go for some other tool/approach as listed in my second reply.

such cross RDBMS migrations are done in 2 phases.

Phase 1- Code migration

Phase 2- data migration

In phase 1, you work on DDL conversion for all objects like- tables, views, triggers, procedures, packages, Mviews, in-built function conversion etc. This becomes complex when there is lot of code present since in many cases, you have to re-write the code to make it work in target RDBMS.

in phase 2, it is about migration of table data from source to target. It can be done by simply dumping the table data in CSV format and then using SQL loader kind of tool to load it.

You can also use replication tools like- Oracle Golden Gate and other tools available in market.
