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.

Darren,
I just setup another Solaris x86 server tonight to play with. That future production server is in it's own vlan wtih no Internet access for now.
The test server has the same configuration, but less disk space.
Here is the output of prtvtoc

As you can see, the 1st partition is used at 26%. With fdisk, I can create a 2nd partition. My problem is to get that 2nd partiition availlable to Solaris and create a zpool in that unused space..

  • Stupid question  - What platforms does Solaris x86 run on?

    Hello,
    I am a longtime Solaris for sparc user. Could someone please direct me to information about what platforms/processors Solaris for x86 runs on? Are there dual-bootable Windows/Solaris systems or something? What about laptops? I will start searching myself for info, but if anyone knows of a great strehouse of info on this matter, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    I would like to allocate the 120GB space left to ZFS. 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.
    One of the document found talk about using format / fdisk and define that partition as DOS or anything else). I tried different things around that, but a piece of the puzzle is missing.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Michel

    I have no room for the ZFS partition on a slice. I
    have a lot of free space unallocated to any partition
    and this is where I would like the ZFS partition.You would need to allocate it to one yourself.
    I
    saw a lot of confusion between slices and
    partitions.Yes. In many cases they are used interchangably.
    However, I often try to use the term "slice" for the solaris label subdivision, leaving "partition" to refer to x86 architecture-specific divisions.
    Solaris on x86 can only (easily) use a single x86 partition of type "Solaris". You can't use another partition (whether with ZFS or not).
    In my case, I have a 20GB partition where I have 10
    slices created when I installed Solaris on UFS.
    The 120GB left is not allocated to any slice.If it's visible to the Solaris label, then allocate it to a slice.

  • 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"

    19. RMAN> exit
    I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
    We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
    I have following questions:
    1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
    I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
    2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
    3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
    Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
    =============================================================================================
    2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
    Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
    Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
    All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
    Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
    =============================================================================================
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    ORACLE_SID=orcl
    ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
    PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
    LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs

    if [[ $# < 1 ]]
    then
    echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
    exit;
    fi

    full='FULL'
    incremental='INCREMENTAL'
    if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
    then
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
    run {
    backup database;
    SQL 'alter system archive log current';
    backup archivelog all;
    delete noprompt obsolete;

    Hi [email protected],
    Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
    A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
    I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
    If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
    So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
    Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
    A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
    Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
    A3) No see A2.

  • 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?

  • Jre for solaris x86

    hi,
    I know that there is a separate JRE for Solaris X86. But my problem is that i have Solaris x86 installed an amd 64 bit machine and also on an Intel 64 bit machine.
    I would like to know if it is possible to use the same jre for both the machines.

    Edited by: Diganth.A on Feb 4, 2009 11:16 AMThis all depends on the operating system your are using and the type of 64 bit hardware architecture type.
    Can you please provide more specific details about the architecture and operating systems you are trying to install your JRE on?
    Typically you will want to download a pre-configured JRE for your OS platform and hardware architecture.

    Hi Nicolas,
    great thanks!
    Is the information available on the web site or is it something internal ?
    I've tried to follow your link:
    Operating System: Solaris Operating System x86 Version 10

    Also this is the Enterprise version, what about the Standard version ?

  • 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").

  • Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

    Greetings, all.
    Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:

    I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

    After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
    not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
    There are two ways to do this:
    Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
    Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

  • 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.

  • Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris x86 using vmware

    Guys,
    I am practising 10g RAC installation on my laptop, wherein I have vmware workstation and
    solaris-x86 version 10 installed on it.
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g clusterware.

    Can you provide some sort of clue what could be done to resolve the above error?

    Refer to http://www.oracleracsig.org/ Under documents section select OS=Solaris. You will find a document on Oracle RAC on Solaris10 using Vmware.

  • Core 2 Duo and solaris x86 11/06 works for me

    This is FYI, since I seen (and posted) problems, but I haven't seen the solution posted.
    I have successfully gotten solaris x86 11/06 to install and run on my core 2 duo machine. I had tried solaris x86 06/06, but I could only run in 32bit mode until patch 118855-19 was installed. It looks like 118855-33 is the baseline for 11/06.
    With 06/06 I had to edit the grub command and add " kernel/unix" to the end of the 2nd line. This would force 32 bit mode rather than 64 bit. If I tried 64 bit, it would enter an endless reboot cycle. Once I installed the patch to 118855-19 I could run solaris 10 06/06 in 64 bit mode without issue.
    Again, since solaris 10 11/06 is at 118855-33, it runs on my core2 machine straight from the install.
    Hope this helps

    On a laptop there is little point with running a 64-bit operating system unless it physically has more than 4gb of ram, or if you are processing datasets exceeding 4GB of ram. Unless you're into assembly or use Solaris for some reason to manipulate media, little is to be gained by using 64-bit versions if anything. The increased pointer, integer, and padding causes more memory to use for the same software, most software on 64-bit operating systems runs in 32-bit mode because there is no need to have 16 exabyte memory addressing capability for anything but media encoders, giant databases, or extremely bloated single-threaded software. Sun Java Creator takes a heck of a lot of ram, but even at peak it's still under 4GB. If you move files bigger than 4GB, the ability to memory map all 4096MB might have less overhead on a 64-bit operating system, but generally from an end-user perspective, especially on a fast Intel or Opteron system, you won't notice the difference much. Solaris is bi-arch, a large chunk of Windows Vista and XP x64 is bi-arch, and most of FreeBSD and Linux are bi-arch in 64-bit versions, as I said, no point in making everything 64-bit. 64-bit device drivers is an issue for every OS, you should stick with 32-bit on a laptop, and hold off on desktops unless you need extended assembly registers available only in 64-bit mode.
