By the way if you didn't already know Solaris8 requires SDS 4.2.1, not 4.2.0 and were advised (by Sun) to do the following, although there are other parts involved depending on the current set-up of your system, basically:-
SDS 4.2:
pkgrm SUNWmd (required) Base Product
pkgrm SUNWmdg (optional) GUI package
pkgrm SUNWmdn (optional) SNMP log daemon package
- pkgadd of SDS The packages are found on the Solaris8, 2 of 2 CD in the EA
directory. Load the following packages:
SDS 4.2.1
pkgadd SUNWmdu Solstice DiskSuite Commands
pkgadd SUNWmdr Solstice DiskSuite Drivers
pkgadd SUNWmdx Solstice DiskSuite Drivers(64-bit)
pkgadd SUNWmdg (optional) Solstice DiskSuite Tool
pkgadd SUNWmdnr (optional) Solstice DiskSuite Log Daemon Configuration Files
pkgadd SUNWmdnu (optional) Solstice DiskSuite Log Daemon
Pull down Sunsolve and patchadd 108693-06 or 07
Do you know what SUNWadm actually does? We don't have it either,and were not asked for it during install..
