Solaris 8, 9, and 10 zones in logical domains

We are planning to migrate our current environment to T5-2.
Current application environment is running with Solaris 8, 9 and 10 OS versions in V8* series and M5000.
Our plan is to install multiple logical domains in T5-2 with Solaris 10 or 11 and migrate the current running Solaris 8, 9 and 10 servers as zones. Plan is to create the flash using flar and restore in the target T5-2.
Will there be any issue with the said OS versions on migration?
Please suggest.

Lars,
Use ldmp2v to convert existing physical server to VM and
Convert Solaris 8 and 9 physical servers to container in Solaris 10 VM?
Is that what you are saying?
Major constraint I have is, applications running in the current physical servers have no vendor support, vendor doesn't exist any more. Application has been locked to run only on the same OS version. What I am worried is, while running ldmp2v should not prevent the application coming up in the new virtualized environment. Keeping that in mind, I gave a thought like
1. Install and configure the CDOM (control domain)
2. configure and Install LDOMs with Solaris 10 OS
3. Run flar on the existing Solaris 10 physical server
4. Transfer the flar created to Solaris 10 LDOM and configure it as a zone
5. For Solaris 8 and 9, create LDOMs with Solaris 10 OS
6. Install additional patches and packages needed for supporting Solaris 8 and 9 zones
6. create flar images on the existing Solaris 8 and 9 physical servers
7. transfer the images to newly created LDOM and configure the zone.
8. Current servers sun4u which has to be converted to sun4v.

Zones or Logical Domains

Hello,
If I have an Enterprise T5120 server, would I be better off employing solaris zones or logical domains? I took a long break from this area of expertise and find myself in the wonderful world of virtualization!
Also, if you have any recommendations on books, whitepapers, other documentation, etc., that I can read on both subjects, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you for you assistance.

Well, you could use both :)
did you see this article? I find it rather good:

Convert Solaris 10 zones to Logical Domain

I am in the process of building a Solaris 10 server on a T3-2 server. I am installing the 8/11 update of Solaris 10 and will be installing OVM for SPARC v2.2 on the server. Currently we are running a number of Solaris Zones on Solaris 10 servers. Instead of creating a Logical Domain for each of the physical servers with zones on them, I want to convert each of the zones in a logical domain. The zones are running on SunFire V890s and SunFire V440 servers. They are running the 10/09 update of Solaris 10 that has been patched to the latest kernel level, 147440-15. Can anyone guide me in an appropriate procedure to build the logical domains? Thanks.

may be better to move zone into s10 zone inside s11 ldom

Dedicating physical CPUs to a zone and migrating a Solaris 8 box to a zone?

If I have a machine with a large number of cores (say 24), and dedicate 4 of the CPUs to the zone, psrinfo shows the number of CPU's dedicated to that zone as 4, however, the global zone still shows 24.
Does this mean that if there's enough stuff running in global that it can preempt the stuff running inside the zone? The concern here is that the stuff we want to run in the zone is a bit more critical than in global, so we wouldn't want global to eat up CPU resources of the zone. (I suppose we could repurpose the stuff running inside global and the zone, but then we'd get the reverse isolation issue at some other point.)
The other questions is that there's an old E450 running Solaris 8 and it's got a bunch of stuff installed on it. Would it be possible to somehow convert all the software and data of that E450 into a container or zone and run that on a more modern machine - say a T5420 which runs Solaris 10 (without upgrading the stuff running under the E450 to Solaris 10?)

you can create a flar archive of the entire system and then import it as a solaris 8 zone. if you are doing this on a cool threads system, beware of the processor. it does well with threads. if what you run on the 450 is mostly single threaded or needs a decent cpu, the coolthreads servers are not a good fit.

Solaris 8, 9 and 10 Security Files

Good Morning:
I am hoping that someone out there can confirm the following scenario:
I want to use a standardized set of security files for all my operating systems Solaris 8, 9, and 10. The files from Solaris 10 and are listed below:
/etc/default/passwd
/etc/default/login
/etc/security/policy.conf
The questions I have are as follows:
1. With the understanding that some of the security features may not work in Solaris 8 or Solaris 9, is there a problem in using these files across the all Operating systems?
2. Are there any known issues with this approach?

Sales Office Master - Country, Region and Time Zone

Dear All,
In one of the Project, for some config-settings, I need to create Sales Offices. Here, Sales Offices is basically the Countries, to which business is happening.
For example,
Jordan
Mexico
Colombia
etc...
Now, while maintaining Sales Office records, System prompts for Sales Office Address. Initally, i maintained Country as per the Sales Office, for example:
For Sales Office Nepal, Country Nepal
For Sales Office Mexico, Country Mexico
etc...
Now, when i checked previously maintained entries in to System, I found that:
For Sales Office New Hampshire, Country India
For Sales Office California, Country India
etc...
When, I inquired about the same to concern Persons, within particular Organization, they are unable to explain, as these entries are maintained by Previous Implementation-Partner.
Can anyone explain, what entry needs to be maintained as Address - Country, Region and Time Zone, for International Offices? Is there particular logic for the same?
Best Reagrds,
Amit

Dear All,
Thanks for the Support, provided.
Let me explain, my scenario, in detail.
I am maintaining Profit Center, in Sales Order, based upon Substitution Rule.
For that, I have to maintain Profit Center, based upon Sales Area and Sales Office combination.
suppose, If my combination is:
1. if Sales Area is 10100107 and Sales Office is Colombia, then Profit center would be X
2. if Sales Area is 10100107 and Sales Office is Mongolia, then Profit center would be Y
Now, Important aspect is all Sales Organizations are maintained under Company Code ABC; and Company ABC is maintained under Country INDIA. Whereas, Sales Offices are both, Domestic, as well as International.
My queries are:
1. What effect has gone be made, if Sales Org is maintained under India and Sales Office, under some other country, in Sales Order?
2. Also, based upon Sales Office, System must pick the Transaction Currency, in Sales Order?
Best Regards,
Amit

Jdk 1.6 + solaris 10 (global + non global zones)

How to execute or fetch jdk1.6 in global zone when it is installed in the non global zone of solaris 10?

I have a similar problem with pkgadd. When installing an auditing application we get the following error:
pkagadd: ERROR: unable to make temporary directory </var/tmp//installtEaBs/install9_aG1u>
No changes were made to the system.
This is a package that is being installed remotely using an automated process and the package does install using the pkgadd command on the server. The automation has produced the same or a similar error on several servers while producing no errors and successfully installing on others. We cannot duplicate the error across the board. The packge has been reviewed and has been found to have no errors, the automation process has been evaluated and has done successful jobs on other Solaris 10 servers since failing on the ones with this error. The exact same automated job produces successful and unsuccessful jobs on various servers.
There are 2 patch levels that we have identified 118833-26 and 118833-30. Both the 26 and 30 versions have had successful and unsuccessful installations of the SE agent. There are various subnets involved and all of them have had successful and unsuccessful installations of the SE agent.
If anyone out there has run into this problem before please help me out. This installation is automated on many Solaris 10 servers, and is successful on about 2 out of 3. It is of course the failed jobs that I have to focus on, until we can get it resolved.

Solaris 10 08/06 version container within Solaris 10 05/08 global zone

I have the need to run Solaris 8 , Solaris 9 and even Solaris 10 (08/06) containers within my Solaris 10 05/08 global T5120. No problem with the branded Solaris 8 nad Solaris9, but I'm not sure how to create a native Solaris 10 (older version 06) to run on the newer version Solaris 10 05/08. Do I have to create the global zone with the older 06 version of Sol 10? hmm?

The minimum supported version for a 5120 is Solaris 10 8/07.
And they wouldnt say that without a good reason.
Its pretty silly of a software vendor to specify a particular version of Solaris 10.
Unless they mean that version or later.
I mean suppose its certifed for Solaris 10 8/06 and you start with that.
Then you run smpatch and apply all available patches.
What you end up with is virtually indistinguishable from Solaris 10 5/08 anyway.
So unless, they certify a specific version and also specify the set of patches you are allowed to apply.
Then the restriction is virtually meaningless.
Personally I suggest you just go with Solaris 5/08 and be done with it.
As far as I know, theres no way for you to use the "earlier" version without buying new hardware.
The closest you could come is to run it on a solaris 9 zone.

Managing planning time fence ( P1 MRP type ) and firm zone in ME32L

Hello,
I want to know if there is or are some documents to know how to manage planning time fence in MM02 and firm zone in ME32L ?
For me, in ME32L the firm zone is the firmed quantities sent to suppliers but not firmed for MRP so how to manage this easily ?
Thanks.
Romeo.

Dear,
Firm ZOne in SA, says that that much qty will be procured from that vendor with in that date specified, if not taken the production cost and cost related to that will be paid.
Now the planing time fence, is the time with in which no change is allowed. Hence if there is any new requirement to that RM, then it will be pushed to outside the time fence.
Hence if there is a schedule line which is already there and requirement is coved with in that, then your requirement is met, if not system will create a new schedule line in the trade off zone/planning zone.
I hope you got the point.

Solaris 8 x86 and 10 x86 differences

I have a device driver that works on Solaris 8 x86. I installed this same device driver on a box with Solaris 10 x86. Under Solaris 10 x86 I get a message "WARNING: minor name <tec
_0> is not compatible network driver name <tec>". Also, opening the device under Solaris 10 x86 will cause the OS to quit responding. Where can I find a list of differences between Solaris 8 x86 and Solaris 10 x86?
Thanks.

Another way to install Matrox G550 is to Install AcceleratedX from www.xig.com
It supports a lot of graphic card and it also supports hardware acceleration for OpenGL
BUt obviously its not free :(

Solaris Management Console and X86 Disk

Greetings,
I am trying to use the Solaris Management Console to manage the 2 disks I have in my Intel PC. Both disk are allocated 100% to Solaris 10 and were formatted and partitioned by the installation program.
Why is it that when I use the Management Console it tells me that there is no Solaris FDISK partition and that I cannot manage the disk until I put a Solaris FDISK partition on them? It doesn't seem like the tool is all that useful if it cannot use the default format put on the disk by the install program.
On related note, why is it that auto layout during install creates partitions that are barely large enough to hold the OS? From what I can see it puts the bulk of the disk space into home for user home directories but this creates a problem when trying to install additional SW such as StarOffice.
Cheers
TC

Thanks for your help. I updated my root password from 4 charcters to 4charcters + 4 numerals , still SMC will not let me in. I updated 2 machines and both allow me to login as root (GUI) but SMC wants to confirm the password and will not let me in.
I have reinstalled (initialized rather than upgrade) Solaris 10 on one machine (Ultra60) , that machine now works fine. It allows me to login as root(GUI) ans the SMC accepts my root password
The machines are an Ultra10 and an Ultra60.
I choose to upgrade rather than a new install because of to much info to rebuild.

Message determination and Partner function LS (Logical system) for PO

Hi,
I have worked in the past with vendors (VN) as partner roles in a PO, with the message to create an EDI outpout to Partner Type: LI (Vendor), and this works succesfully.
Now, the idea was to use in EDI, a Partner Type: LS (Logical system) as a receiver of EDI messages (message types: ORDERS) for inbound Purchase Orders to the Partner.
So, we have set up a respective message condition, with Partner Function: LS (Logical System), in transaction: MN04 (Create Output-condition records).
A. When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent to partner.
B. When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N?
There is a single message condition that is to be read for both cases (trans: ME59N and ME21N).
Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner (=Logical System), manually, I receive a warning message :
VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent.
However you can not assign a partner function LS to a vendor, in vendor master data, because of message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
Anyone with similar experience? Thank you for your advice.

Hi,
I well understand that the receiving partner can be a partner: Vendor (LI).
I have seen that working.
However, in the Partner Profiles (trans: WE20), the receiver was created as a Logical System (LS).
We want the partner Logical system (LS) to receive the idoc for purchase order (ORDERS).
After that, I think that the idea is that the LS can generate an idoc for a sales order creation that will then outbound to another partner. I think that this is the concept.
The issue is that I have seen that the POs created with transaction: ME59N, have received from message determination (trans: MN04) the message with partner LS (automatically), and the idoc of the purchase order (ORDERS) have reached the partner LS.
The question is why the message determination fails when creating the PO from trans: ME21N or ME21, with reference to the PR. Message condition is the same and message determination procedure is the same for both cases.
There is no issue with customizing for the LS in trans: WE20
(Port processing agent is Active for LS and ORDERS have the proper processing code for application EF).
I hope I am helping more with this.

I have OS X 10.9 and have just got logic

have OS X 10.9 and have just got logic and ive instaled the disk and read through all the instructions and now it wont let me open logic with OS X 10.9 ? is their any way to sort this out or to somehow get OS X 10.6 ? ive used time machine and it doesnt go back far enough

It would help if you'd let us know which version of Logic you have.
My first suggestion would be to check Software Update after installing Logic to make sure you have the latest update for your version. For example, if you happen to have Logic Express 9 you should update it to version 9.1.8.

Clipping sound and other things with Logic X 10.0.6

Hi 2 everyones, I notify all about strange things when run Logic X but not only in my new iMac 27" the same in older Mac Pro mid 2008.
In my Home Studio I use with satisfaction this Mixer with USB 2.0 interface.
In this early 2014 change my iMac 21,5" (late 2009) with iMac 27" core i7. From start using Logic X, after recording audio track sometimes the sound distorce, clip and sometimes not.
I’ve try everything (disconnect USB, reset logic,..) but the problem persist.
And another thing that happen in my iMac and other Mac Pro, when (shift+W) edit the audio file with Soundtrack pro (the first time) try to save and return to logic but STP stall (colored whirl), must use forced escape, than re edit and save normally and come back to Logic.
When change from Logic to STP (and reverse) notify center tell me that I’ve change my midi interface but the strange thing is that I deactivate notification center in Logic….. Can someone tell me more??
PS. I read something in this discussion but confusign me too much
Thanks

Ok, the first problem was gone when I completely reset PRAM and VRAM.
But the second is still there. When I open Logic x, and then want to edit externally (with STP) the file (SHIFT+W) edit it and then try to save, STP stall, and I must force quit. Then the second time i re-edit externally the file open it in STP edit, save and that's is fine....why?
Thanks to all forum
