Network Conn Prob btw Solaris 10(HOst OS)-RHEl5(GuestOS)

Hi,
I am using VirtualBox-2.2.0-45846-SunOS on Solaris(Intel)64-bit server which is my host OS.
I had installed RHEL5(guest OS) on SUN Virtual Box but i am unable to connect this Guest OS neither from HOst OS nor from outer network on the same domain.
Request to please tell me the steps to do the same.This is a showstoper in our project.
Thanks.

Does any of that have anything to do with java - which is what this forum is for?

  • Question re error mesg (timed out network conn) ?

    Hello, I have used itunes for a while but have encountered a prob today. when trying to redeem itunes card...i get msg "timed out network conn,,,,etc" I have reinstalled itunes and checked settings as i know how...any suggestions?

    i've had more than one experience with this problem happening. every christmas millions of kids are getting new ipods and/or itunes gift cards. now, i stupidly attempt to redeem my gift card but i anticipated that it wouldn't work. the farthest i've gotten is to the redeem page but once i try, it just gives me the error sign. so it'll probably work after you waste hours and hours trying to get it to work, but don't bother. try later tonight or tomorrow when there probably won't be so many people attempting to buy/redeem music.

  • Getting the network interface up in solaris 10

    Hi,
    I am a solaris newbie and am trying to get the network interface up on solaris 10. I have set the required details in
    /etc/hostname.if
    /etc/hosts
    /etc/inet/ipnodes
    /etc/inet/netmasks
    /etc/defaultrouter
    yet on the startup i get a message "failed to bring up IPv4 interfaces : interfacename"
    And when the server starts up after giving the command "ifconfig if up"
    the network interface comes up.
    I need to get the interface up on the startup itself.
    can anyone help me on this ?????
    Thanks in advance,

    ... and of course, you need compatible hardware.
    But you failed to tell anyone what Ethernet adapter you're trying to use.
    Is it on the HCL ? http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/
    If it requires third party driver software, did you install that as well ?
    You failed to tell anyone whether you're installing to Solaris x86 or to Solaris SPARC.
    ( For example, a PeeCee NIC will generally just not work in a SPARC system. )

  • 10gR1 OEM can not verify Solaris 10 host. 10gR2 agent can upload though

    Got following error when tried to verify Solaris 10 host.
    I have 10gR1 (1.0.3) fresh installation without patch on server 1. Recently I installed 10g R2 agent on a Solaris 10 server 2. The agent can upload data back to the OMS without problem. But after I enter server 2 host credential to verify host connection I got the following error in emoms.log on Sever 1.
    "2006-05-31 17:16:49,704 [EMUI_17_05_35_/console/pref/setCredentials$targetType=host] ERROR creds.SetPrefCreds testCreds.1281 - SetPrefCreds.testCreds(): CredsException: Connection to host bcrcxfwwd7p.something.com as user xxxx failed: IOException in sending Request :: Connection timed out"
    I can use Secure shell in Solaris to connect to server2 as xxxx directly & do my work.
    But somehow I can not verify the host connection from within OEM.
    I don't have any problem to use OEM to manage 9 other Solaris 9 hosts and 10g databases. Is Solaris 10 specific problem?
    Any suggestions are welcome
    Mike

    Hang on, are you using a 10.1 oms with a 10.2 agent reporting to it?
    If so, thats an unsupported configuration.

  • Virtual Server w/Solaris as Host OS

    I've got a bunch of Sun Servers (6800's, 6900's) running Solaris 9 that I'd like to turn into Virtual Servers. In other words, make one of my 16 processor 6800's into half a dozen Linux Servers. I'm having problems finding a virtual server product that can use Solaris as the host os. I've looked at Xen and VMware but they only support Linux and Windows as the host. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm an Oracle DBA and this is outside my area of expertise. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Xen does work on OpenSolaris, but it's still pretty beta and I don't think there's any support for older versions of Solaris. Vmware is not (yet) supporting Solaris as host.
    You can create BrandZ zones that would support certain distributions (like redhat and centos), but again, that is a Solaris 10 only feature.
    The 6800 supports domains onboard, correct? If you had a linux distribution that would boot on the hardware, I would assume that you could load it up that way. I have no idea if any of them support that hardware well.

  • Solaris 11 host no longer sees a ZyXEL wifi network router

    This issue is on a Toshiba Tecra M10 running Oracle Solaris 11.1 SRU 0.5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.2
    The once functional wifi network iwh0 (net1) no longer sees a ZyXEL NBG-416N wifi network router.
    The e1000g (net0) can connect to the router when direct connected via TP ethernet cable from the laptop wired ethernet port.
    There are other wifi networks visible from iwh0 (net1) when the command 'dladm scan-wifi' is run.
    When attempting to connect with the 'dladm connect-wifi' command (I know the command is good I recall it from the shell command history) .. I get "no wifi networks with the specified criteria are available"
    The laptop is able to connect to one of the other wifi routers over this interface however not my own router (which appears to no longer be visible from Solaris 11.1).
    I am able to connect to it from an HTC mobile phone and a Windows 7 laptop.
    Removed wifi cache file /system/volatile/dladm/network-datalink-management:default.cache.0 and rebooted. No joy.
    If I boot from the Solaris 11 DVD, I can still not see the expected wifi router.
    At this point I am suspecting the ethernet address of the M10 iwh0 (net1) interface.
    'dladm show-phys -m' lists the interface ethernet mac addresses (even if not plumbed).
    Connected to the router (from alternative system, over wifi) and looked around. Noted the logs had a messages "possible DNS-rebind attack detected: a-0.19-*8d9zff4tq7njzcj.avts.mcafee.com" that seemed to start about the time I lost sight of the network? Can no longer say for sure as I restarted the router and it seems to have lost those log entries.
    Contacted the ISP who provided the ADSL/router for use with their FTTC service offering - they are not aware of any 'protection mechanism' on the router that might mask a misbehaving mac-address.
    Tried changing the mac-address on the iwh interface with 'dladm set-linkprop -p mac-address=06:05:04:03:02 net1' and ran 'dladm scan-wifi' without success (then reboot with 'init 5') resets to original but after reconfiguring again -still not available.
    If anyone can help .. perhaps having seen something like this and solved it .. or even simply help with better troubleshooting, please advise.

    Okay .. I changed the routers 'channel selection' from 13 to 7 and this wifi router network ESSID is again visible to the Solaris 11 instance. I expect the other OS's cater for this a little more elegantly?
    ~ # dladm show-linkprop net1 | grep -i channel
    net1     channel             r-   7            --           --
    ~ #
    It seems the channel property wont be visible unless there is a connection (I suppose obviously).
    I expect another router has moved into the radius close enough to interfere?

  • Ldap authentication not working for Solaris 8 host - Help!

    Greetings folks,
    I just recently migrated a host to use LDAP authentication. The only difference between this host and the rest of the hosts in the environment that I've converted to use LDAP is that this one is running Solaris 8.
    Here's the steps I took to migrate it (though, I used the same steps for another Sol8 host in another environment and it works fine):
    ldapclient -P stg -d mydomain.com -D cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=mydomain,dc=com -w secret 192.168.1.69
    My /etc/nsswitch.conf looks like this:
    passwd: files ldap
    group: files ldap
    My /etc/pam.conf looks like this:
    login auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1
    login auth required pam_dhkeys.so.1
    login auth sufficient pam_unix_auth.so.1
    login auth required pam_ldap.so.1
    sshd auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1
    sshd auth sufficient pam_unix_auth.so.1
    sshd auth required pam_ldap.so.1
    other auth requisite pam_authtok_get.so.1
    other auth required pam_dhkeys.so.1
    other auth sufficient pam_unix_auth.so.1
    other auth required pam_ldap.so.1
    passwd auth sufficient pam_passwd_auth.so.1
    passwd auth required pam_ldap.so.1
    I've also cleared out the local user accounts for my human users, so there aren't any more passwd or shadow entries (yes, I ran pwconv). I also cleaned out the /etc/group entries for the same users. The machine appears to be configured properly, because I can run various DS commands that indicate this:
    hostname# getent passwd user1
    user1::1001:1001:User 1:/opt/home/user1:/bin/bash
    hostname# ldaplist -l passwd user1
    dn: uid=user1,ou=people,dc=mydomain,dc=com
    shadowFlag: 0
    userPassword: {crypt}(removed)
    uid: user1
    objectClass: posixAccount
    objectClass: shadowAccount
    objectClass: account
    objectClass: top
    cn: user1
    uidNumber: 1001
    gidNumber: 1001
    gecos: User 1
    homeDirectory: /opt/home/user1
    loginShell: /bin/bash
    However, in the end, actual logins to this host fail via ssh. Snooping the traffic reveals that all the right info is being handed back to the client, including the crypt'ed password hash, uid, etc. just like I see with other hosts that work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Patrick

    I assume you have applied lastest kernel patch and 108993 to this Solaris8 machine, and its nss_ldap.so.1 and pam_ldap.so.1 are the same as the other Solaris8 LDAP clients that are working for ssh via LDAP auth.
    1) Please replace "objectClass: account" with "objectClass: person", I know SUN ONE DS5.2 likes "person".
    2) Did you test and verify telnet/ftp/su working? but SSH not working?
    3) If telnet/ftp/su all worked, and SSH (SUN-SSH or OpenSSH), make sure you have "UsePAM yes" in sshd_config and restart sshd.
    4) It is not a must I think but normally I will add "shadow: files ldap" to /etc/nsswitch.conf, restart nscd after that.
    5) Whenever ldapclient command is run and ldap_cachemgr is restarted, I usually also restart nscd and sshd after that, if not testing result may not be accurate as nscd is still remembering OLD stuffs cached which could be very misleading.
    6) You may use "ssh -v userid@localhost" to watch the SSH communications, on top of your usual "snoop"ing of network packets.
    7) Use the sample pam.conf that is meant for pam_ldap from Solaris 10 system admin guide with all the pam_unix_cred.so.1 lines commented out. This works for me, there is no sshd defintions as it will follow "other".

  • Networking skipped in installing Solaris 9, 10 behind a Linksy router

    Hi, gurus,
    I am trying to install Solaris 9 or 10 on a PC on a 192.168.0.0 network behind a linksys router but can not have the networking set up on it.
    During the installation, I was prompted for the host name, but I did not have a chance to enter the information usually prompted for, such as IP address, network mask, default gateway, DNS servers, etc. That networking part was simply skipped. The installation is otherwise straightforward, and Solaris runs on the PC, only no networking.
    ifconfig -a shows only the lo0 loopback.
    I wonder if this is because the PC is on a 192.168.0.0 network behind a router, or because the network card is not recognized. I ran solaris 9 configuration assistant again. The configuration assistant does briefly displays the network card when polling for hardware devices: "Xir com Pocket Ethernet Parallel Port Card".
    I found a posting on the internet that shows an example of [successful installation of Solaris 10 on a ldap top with exactly the Xir com Pocket Ethernet Parallel Port Card|http://blogs.pfuetzner.de/matthias/?m=200607] . I followed a few steps and got stuck on the pe.bef thing, which I guess is the network card driver, which I do not have. I searched on the internet, but did not succeed in finding one.
    I would appreciate it if you gurus had some advice either on following through that example, or some alternative solution to the problem. Or, if buying a card found in the [hardware compatibility list|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_all_results.model.page1.html] would solve the problem, I would buy one. But is the problem due to an unsupported network card, or because of the PC is on a 192.168.0.0 network behind a router?
    Many thanks for your advice!
    Newman

    Hi, Michael, and all who happen to know this:
    I bought a network card (3CSOHO100-TX, the first one in the [HCL as "reported to work"|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_reported_to_work.page1.html] ), but this card does not seem to be any better than the other one.
    When running the Configuration Assistant of Solaris 10 3/05, there was not any hint whether the network card was detected. With Solaris 9 9/05, the hardware polling did result in a network card listed among the detected devices. However, in both versions of Solaris, the installation configuration skipped the section for collecting network card configuration information. So I just cut it short and quit the installation when I saw that network part was skipped.
    I already have Solaris 10 3/05 installed with the other card (i.e., without any network card recognized), and wondered if the new card can be detected in the installed unix. I searched in the archive of this forum and [found a link|http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml] in one of the postings. I followed the steps, but the article seems to be for certified cards only. The 3CSOHO100-TX card is not in the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master file.
    My questions are:
    1. Since Solaris 10 3/05 is already running, are there any commands that can be used to detect the physical card, and then get it configured? I checked Craig Hunt's TCP/IP book (3rd Ed), and tried dmesg | grep eth, netstat -in, and ifconfig -a, to no avail. I also tried prtconf | grep pci, and no clue either.
    2. Since this card is in the HCL list, are there any members on this forum who happen to have some experience with the card and can lend some insight?
    The PC I am using to install the Solaris is a Dell Dimension 4500.
    When the configuration assistant was running there were some messages about resource conflict (two devices using the same interrupt number). I am not good at interpreting the messages, and removed the wireless network card just in case, so there is only one network card in the PC. That did not make it any better either.
    Much appreciation for your help!

  • Network Printer Setup in Solaris 10

    What is the best way to set up HP JetDirect network printers in Solaris 10? I have just installed Solaris 10 on an Ultra Sparc 10. There are two HP Laserjet Printers (HP LJ 4100DTN and HP LJ 4000TN) with JetDirect cards on my network. I want to be able to print to either of these printers and to choose which paper tray to use for the job (and whether to print double sided on the duplex model). There are reams of conflicting instructions on the Sun website and on the HP website for this task, most referring to older Solaris versions. Do I use the lpadmin command, setting up a different printer_name for each option for each printer? If so, where are the printer definitions? Do I use use the HP JetDirect Printer Installer? If so, where is it or how do I get it and is there a version for Solaris 10? Or is there an "add printer wizard" in the Java desktop that works for HP JetDirect laserjet printers? If so, where is it and where are the instructions for using it? Or is there some other method? Thanks.

    I found the HP JetDirect Printer Installer for UNIX on the HP website. The version is E.10.34, dated 5 Aug 2002. The HP site says it is for Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9. Should this installer be used with Solaris 10?
    Alice Soteriou, in a Dec. 2001 article ("Basic Principles of Printing in Solaris 2.6 and Above") on the Sun website says, "Sun's position on this is to always use the vendor-supplied application to create the print queues. This is because it will probably supply the exact interface file to make the most of your printer's features (that is, duplexors, multiple trays, different font sizes and styles, etc.)" However, elsewhere on the Sun site, there are warnings against using such applications for security reasons and comments that the HP JetDirect Print Installer is not supported. What is Sun's current advice on this?
    Alice's 2001 article has been reproduced as postings on supportforum.sun and sunsolve.sun.com with dates in January and February of 2005, but these repostings do not address using this application with Solaris 10.

  • Removing Logical Networks and Subnets from Hyper-V Host Network Adapters that are greyed out

    Hello All
    I am new to SCVMM 2012 R2 and I have create a Hyper-V Cluster and now creating Logical Networks and Port Profiles and Logical Switches. I have figured out how to create all of them properly now, but I have made some mistakes in the past. I have a Logical
    Switch created and assigned to network adapters on the hosts. Now I am trying to add the other switches to other adapters, but I have associations on network adapters to Logical Switches and Subnets that are not correct and need to be removed so I can add
    the correct ones, but in the console the network adapters that I need to work with the information is grayed out and I can't change the information. 
    I am not an expert at Powershell. Below you can see a Logical Network and Sunets associated
    to a Network adapter. Can someone help figure out how to remove the information so I can assign the correct Logical Network?
    I woul so much appreciate this. I know there is a way to do this in
    PowerShell but I don't know Powershell that much. I
    am savoing all the
    powershell scripts ever time I configure something in SCVMM but I have had no luck trying to
    revearse what I did.
    Help Please
    Christopher
    Christopher Scannell

    This shows that an Uplink profile associated with this host, links to these logical networks. In order to remove this successfully, you must remove the logical switch and uplink deployed to the hosts.
    For a complete overview and guidance on the required configuration, have a look at the whitepaper we created.

    i'm running Suse 9.1 Pro as my graphis client. x86 doesn't quite work yet on my host.
    i'm trying to run smc from my E250 (headless) to my Suse 9.1 desktop.
    the E250 is running Solaris 9. when i ssh -X and echo $DISPLAY, DISPLAY is empty.
    howerver, i can ssh -X (from suse) to another suse system, DISPLAY is set.
    i can also ssh -X (from suse) to my e250 running Solaris 10 and the DISPLAY is set!
    i've don't xhost + on all systems.
    why is Solaris 9 not working with the ssh -X forwarding setup? what am i missing on the Solaris 9 side? both Solaris 10 and 9 look to be the same in setup.
    thanks!

    If you use OpenSSH on the server side, X forwarding is turned off in the config by default on the server. Maybe the same with the Solaris OE bundled sshd?

  • Cannot see network interface counters under Solaris 10 with Sun SMA

    Hi,
    Noticed this a few weeks ago. When I do a discovery of a Sun server running the Net-SNMP SMA that is a zone, I can see the network interfaces:

    This happens consistently across all zones we have running. We can monitor traffic for a zone via the hwardware node SNMP daemon, but certainly seems like we should be able to also monitor network interface utilization via SNMP from any zone as well.
    Has anyone encountered this / know of a fix or workaround for this? We have a valid Sun support contract but they unfortunately have been REALLY BAD about answering questions related to the SMA Net-SNMP agent thus far.

    Why are you trying to run an old obsolete pre-release version of Solaris 10?
    I'd suggest that you install the final released product.

  • Excessive system CPU time on Solaris 10 host with multiple zones

    We current have three T2000s running Solaris 10 with all of the latest patches installed. Each machine is identically configured with a single, 1.2GHz 8-core CPU & 32GB RAM. Two of the three are in our production environment and have three zones serving users' needs (Oracle app servers, to be specific).
    The third server is our test environment, and it hosts 5 zones. Four of the five zones are similar to those in our production environment (running Oracle or other J2EE app servers). The fifth zone is running eight Oracle RDBMS instances - seven at 9.2, one at 10.2. As this is a test environment, those instances are configured to use a modest amount of system resources.
    We are seeing an odd behavior that at first blush appeared to imply that we had put too much on this single server. However, after looking into it more closely, I'm now thinking that what we are seeing may in fact be some sort of OS issue.
    Specifically, when monitoring the server load in the global zone, we will see sudden spikes in the load factor, jumping above 20.00 and staying there for a minute or two, then dropping down to 3.00-6.00. During the time that the load is very high, vmstat reveals that an inordinate amount of CPU time is being spent in the kernel.

Of course, as the kernel monopolizes more and more of the CPU time, the number of jobs in the run queue builds until such time as the kernel relinquishes the CPU and the user jobs are serviced.
    I have never seen this kind of vmstat output in the 20 years that I've been administering Sun servers, though I must admit that these three T2ks are the first multi-core, zoned machines that I have experience with.
    So do I have something configured wrong, do we have too many services configured for this one machine to handle, or is there indeed and OS issue involved here?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Darren,
    Thanks for the feedback. I ran the hotkernel script on both a low-loaded and a higher loaded system (only saw my sys time reach about 60% compared to the 90+ I was seeing yesterday). Here are the 10 most frequently called kernel functions on the normal system:
