How to restore / on Solaris 8 X86

Hi,
I new the procedure:
newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
/usr/lib/fs/ufs/ufsrestore
chdir /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs
/usr/platform/i86pc/lib/fs/ufs
/usr/sbin/installboot pboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
But on Solaris 8, you also have the following filesystem to restore:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:boot
10579 1668 8911 16% /boot
What should I do to backup/restore /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:boot? And will restoring these 2 filsesystems be enough to also restore the boot loader?
Thanks.

Technically... you should restore to Snow Leopard (or whatever OS you had before Lion). "You" purchased a license to install Lion on each of your machines under your Apple ID. The Apple ID of the purchaser is also required to use recovery (which the purchaser will not have). Of course if you want to purchase the USB flash drive with Lion on it and include that with your old machine, that would be fine.

How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

Hello people,
I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
Thanks

Dear Gents,
I have one X86 Solaris Server configured and installed to be Sun Management Center Server.
successfully i could monitor the Sun Solaris Servers after i have installed the SMC agent on them.
my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well. It autodetects OS type and will install Solaris packages or RPMs as appropriate.

How about gccfss for Solaris x86/x64 platforms?

Subject says it all... it could make compiling a lot of code out there a whole lot easier!
Bob

I also desire gccfss for Solaris x86/x64 platforms .
In the interim I have downloaded the source and am attempting to create such a beast.
It is slow progress to fix the unexpected script breakage, but it seems to be going OK:
Problems:
1.): Issues like "-mtune=v9" and an "embeded spec" in gcc and cpp (from files
gccfss_src/build/gcc/gccspec.o and gccfss_src/build/gcc/cppspec.o).
2.): Use of OPTTABLE_H = $(srcdir)/config/target-option-table.h with SPARC specific
options throughout
EG:
#ifdef CROSS_COMPILE
#define NATIVE \
{ "-native", "-xtarget=generic" }, \
{ "-xarch=native64", "-Zarch=v9 -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=64" },\
{ "-xarch=native", "-Zarch=v8plus -Zarchm32=v8plus -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=32" },\
{ "-xtarget=native64", "-Zarch=generic -Zarchm32=generic -Zarchm64=v9 -xchip=generic -xcache=generic -Zm=64"}, \
{ "-xtarget=native", "-Zarch=generic -Zarchm32=generic -Zarchm64=v9 -xchip=generic -xcache=generic -Zm=32"}
#else
#define NATIVE \
{ "-native", "-xtarget=native" }, \
{ "-xarch=native64", "-xarch=native64 -Zm=64"}, \
{ "-xarch=native", "-xarch=native -Zm=32"}, \
{ "-xtarget=native64", "-xtarget=native64 -Zm=64"}, \
{ "-xtarget=native", "-xtarget=native -Zm=32"}
#endif
Thus, one would need to change:
{ "-xarch=native64", "-Zarch=v9 -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=64" },\
to something like:
{ "-xarch=native64", "-xarch=386 -m64" },\
3.): Copy the "sparc_output_scratch_registers()" function from file
"gccfss_src/src/gcc/config/sparc/sparc.c" to "gccfss_src/src/gcc/tree-ir.c".
4.): Use the undocumented command line option "-frtl-backend" when this error
occurs during the build (a simple Makefile change):
`-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead.
xgcc: SUNW0scgfss 4.2.0 has not been installed. Either install it or use -frtl-backend.
5.): More ...
All these issues occur because the scripts expect "--build=sparc-pc-solaris2.11" but
I configured using "--build=i386-pc-solaris2.11" . It seems like it is going to work
but I am yet to finish stage1 of the build (I do have a working "xgcc").

How to upgrade oracle 32 to 64 bit on sun solaris x86 64 bit OS?

Hi,
I want to upgrade/convert 32 bit Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 to 64 bit database. Existing 32 bit database is RAC and it is running on Sun Solaris X86 64 bit OS.
First, I want to know is it possible?
If yes, then what are the exact steps?

Hi,
Such a migration can be done, just follow the steps in Metalink note 62290.1
It is important to remember that 64-bit database requires more shared pool memory so you should increase your shared pool size.

Hi
From the Unix prompt enter oemapp console(for v9.x). If you are using earlier versions it is oemapp console (for starting the console) and oemapp dbastudio(for starting dba studio)
For starting OMS enter: oemctrl start oms.
Hope this helps

Solaris x86 or Solaris 8

What is the latest version of solaris on intel called? Is it generic
across intel boards? Are there some pitfalls to look out for (i.e.
only runs on 400 MHz or less, only a handfull of graphic cards, etc.)
What is the best C/C++ compiler? Does it support Visual Workshop?
How about Motif? What version? We were using Motif 1.2.4 on X11R5
from ICS, is this OK? Any heads up would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Solaris 8 is currently available at
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/index.html
Not sure what you mean by "generic across intel boards" - it's the
same kernel, but drivers will differ depending on your H/W config -
see the HArdware Compatibility list:
http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/index.html
There are freeware e.g. GNU compilers - go to sunfreeware.com
For serious commercial development, the Sun Workshop tools are
available - Workshop 5 is shipping now and you can get a WS6 early access at the access1.sun.com website.
CDE seems to have taken over from Motif. For details on X11R6 features etc, follow the first link below:
- www.sun.com/solaris
- www.sun.com/intel (For Solaris on the Intel Platform)
- www.sunfreeware.com (take a look at the "Other Useful Sites")

10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 patchset for Solaris x86 64-bit

I'm having difficulty in locating the patch (or patchset) to upgrade my 10.2.0.1 database to 10.2.0.3
This is for the Solaris x86 64-bit platform.
I'm using the metalink patches area but am baffled on how to find what I need.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance
Mark
EDIT... I believe I found what I was looking for ... Patchset 5337014 ... took me a while but I believe this is the one.

Yes. You found it. ;)

Question about wide-screen monitor on Solaris x86

I have Solaris x86, version 10/2009 installed.
It works fine with any wide-screen monitor I plug in.
But when I use this 3rd party CAD/CAM software, any round
circle is being displayed as an oval shape. I believe that's because
on the wide-screen monitor, the width of the monitor is longer than the height.
Does anyone know if there's a setting to change so that I can view circles as true round circles instead of an oval shape? Thanks.

OK, I know what the problem is now.
But I need to change the resolution settings. Does anyone know how to change it on x86, version 10/2009?
I recall it being something like "kdmconfig"

Connect to Oracle database from Perl on Solaris x86

Hi,
How can I connect to Oracle database using Perl scripts on Solaris x86. It seems that DBD-Oracle Perl module requires Oracle client installed to work. Is there any Oracle client available for Solaris x86? Any one got a workaround? Thanks.
Angus Lee

Yes, you absolutely must have some portions of the rdbms installed before you can proceed. If your Solaris x86 machine is only a client, then you can get away with installing just ?/rdbms/mesg and ?/rdbms/lib.
I have Oracle 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.0.6, and 8.1.6 for Intel Solaris 2.6. I don't know if they'll run on Solaris 8 or 9 but I'm trying to upgrade at this very moment. As long as you conform to Oracle developer license, then you may download them from my machine.
I believe the reason Oracle dropped their Intel Solaris port is probably because Sun went through a period where they themselves dropped their Intel port. They've picked back up and if enough Oracle on Intel Solaris customers scream, then Oracle might pick it back up again too.
Send me an email if you're interested in the downloads.

How to restore Archived Data on diffrent server.

Hi,
Requirement is quite confusing..
I'm running on ECC 6.0 on HP IA64, Oracle 10g.
My org. want to archive data for specific co. code. Their requirement is to restore the archived data in the new server (A totally new landscap, on ECC 6.0, Solaris Sparc & Oracle 10g),
I'm familiar with archiving process, but unaware about the restoration of archived data on the different server.
Could you please guide me how to restore the archived data on the different landscape?
Regards,
Neehir Bhatt

Hi Neehir Bhat,
If you are building a new system, then it's highly advised to use data backup & restore mechanism rather Archived data restore.
The purpose of Archived data is totally different from building a new system and the Archived data can never be solution to recover database to point-in time. Archived data meant for emergency restore of data in terms of document base rather database as a whole. Please refer below for detailed information.
If you receive a request for reloading data some time after archiving, you must first
determine the reason for such a request. Often such a request has to do with a
requirement for data display that cannot be met by reloading the data. .
If you reload data that was archived some time in the past, you can have data
inconsistencies in your database because of, for example, a new number range for your
documents. The new number range will be overwritten during reloading. For some
archiving objects, not all data records are reloaded into the database. For example, the
reload program for orders does not reload the corresponding cost center debits in CO
back into the database. However, cost centers can be read from the archive file.
The reloading function can be used unproblematically only for situations under
scenario 1, reloading data into the database immediately after archiving. Otherwise,
you should find out what triggered the request for reloading data and contact SAP if
necessary.
You can use the reload function only if the archive files are available in the file system.
It is not possible to directly access the archive files in an external storage system
For more information about the reload function from the viewpoint of
ADK development, see SAP Note 53064.

Oracle migration from Solaris 64 sparc to Solaris x86-64

Now that Solaris x86-64 is supported in Netweaver 2004s SR1, I was wondering about the migration path.
Would this be a heterogeneous migration or a homogeneous migration.
or to put it another way Export/import to migrate
or backup/restore????
No documents exist yet regarding this migration.

Hello Guys
Just wanted to ask you whether Migration of SAP system from Solaris SPARC to Solaris x86_64 is possible using the
backup/restore method.
I would be grateful if you could share your experience

ZFS Configuration Question - Also posted in Solaris x86

Hello,
I have 2 x 140GB (hw Raid-0 + spare). About 20GB is allocated to Solaris on UFS (standard installation and partitions/slices).
I would like to allocate the 120GB left on the disk drive to ZFS. That space is not unallocated to any file system for now.
I found a lot of documentation of how to create a ZFS Pool on an empty disk drive. The documentation is less clear on how to do it on a drive already use by another FS.
Any help will be appreciated.

Ndd in Solaris x86

Hi I need to know How can I see parametes list of networks interfaces in Solaris x86, I can't use the utility ndd for the network interface, I am working in a V65x and the NIC is e1000g.
Thanks

kstat e1000g:0 might work, but I'm not 100% if kstat
statistics are supported by the e1000g driver. And if they are available,
I'm not sure if they are accurate.
kstat should list the interface speed, and the duplex setting.

Telnet from Windows PC is very slow to Solaris x86, after Net linked

(Sorry about the re-post. I posted in the wrong group earlier)
I got the following info from this forum, in regards to configuring my Solaris x86 to link to the Net:
# echo 192.168.0.1 > /etc/defaultrouter
# route add default 192.168.0.1
# echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 >> /etc/resolv.conf
# cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
So I did the above steps, reboot the Solaris, and my Solaris system can link to the Net fine afterwards. But ever since it had Net access, another problem is created.
Whenever I telnet using a command line from a Windows XP computer, it takes a long time to telnet to this Solaris system. Before, I would see the Solaris login prompt for telnet in a few seconds. Now, it's about 1 minute. Plus, if I try to use an xterminal software from that PC to link to the Solaris x86, it hangs.
So after I undo all the 4 commands above, reboot the Solaris computer, all these problems disappear. I can telnet from my Windows PC to this Solaris system very quickly. However, I no longer have Internet access from my Solaris.
Anyone knows how I can fix this problem? Thanks.

It sounds like a name resolution issue. Can you post the contents of your /etc/nsswitch.conf file for us?
