Zones on Solaris10 x86

I don't understand the licensing, support and platforms zones run on.
1) Are zones supported on X86 Solaris?
2) Are they available in OpenSolaris x86?
3) I saw a demonstration of a really nice gui tool to configure and move zones, (Container Manager?), is that an additional product?
Thank you,
Hank

1) Are zones supported on X86 Solaris?Yes
2) Are they available in OpenSolaris x86?Yes
3) I saw a demonstration of a really nice gui tool to
configure and move zones, (Container Manager?), is
that an additional product?You're probably thinking of Solaris Container Manager, which is an add-on product to Sun Management Center. Both of these are licensed seperately from Solaris. They do come with the Solaris 10 media kit (2 CDs with yellow labels) or can be downloaded at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/sunmanagementcenter/.
From the website:
Note: Sun Management Center software can be downloaded free of charge, however a license needs to be purchased in order to use.

DB 10gR1 in a zone on solaris10/x86

Hi,
i'm trying to install Oracle10g R1 on solaris 10 ( 6/06 ) x86 ( 32 bit ) -- thus i can't load R2 on it. ( only x86-64 supported ). Moreover i'm trying to install in a dedicated zone with inherited /usr,/var, /opt etc. there aren't any resource pools created ( pooladm )
i've already figured that i had to update some ini file to support 5.10 OS version ( only 5.6-5.9 were listed )
the DB server is not running Xserver, but i've setup environiment to connect to remote Xserver -- my workstation -- this works -- xterm/xload/xlogo are all working. but when i launch runInstaller:
oracle@db:/ora-install/Disk1$ sh runInstaller

Booting Solaris10 x86

I've just installed Solaris10 x86 in my PC.
I have two disks: No. 1 with WIN_XP and a lot of data.
No.2 with only Solaris10 just installed but I can't boot to it. When I reboot the PC it goes directly to WIN_XP. I suppose that it may be because when I installed Solaris, I deselected the 1st disk to avoid that the program installation would damage or erase anything on it. (Got a notice about needing to enter the BIOS because of it, but I don't know what to do there).
The installation went quite OK; not the slightest problem.
( I used a Personalized Installation, not the Predetermined one)
The question is: If I reinstall Solaris 10 on the same 2nd disk and I don't deselect the 1st disk, will the program leave alone my WIN_XP and all the data in this disk allowing me to make a choice when rebooting the PC?

Sir,
I have installed both operating systems on one disk and have Solaris set as the primary operating system.
In this way Solaris rightfully recognises Windows as an existing operating system and shows it to you in its boot-menu. You can make your choice which operating system you want to boot from at boot-time.
I haven't tried it (yet) but I suspect that, when you configure your Solaris disk as the primary boot disk, Windows will be recognised as an optional disk to boot from

Realtek PCIe GBE network card driver for Solaris10 x86

Hi Gurus,
My laptop has a Realtek PCIe GBE network card but I could not find the driver for Solaris10 x86 anywhere, can anybody help me with this issue?
Thanks

how about this?

other google hits indicate that there is a realtek driver in OpenSolaris.

Solaris10/x86 date screwed up after rtc cronjob

Hello,
I'm having problems with solaris10/x86 03/05 w/o patches since two days.
From sunday to monday night, at about 2am the clock jumped to 11pm of 31.12.1969. I suspect the rtc cronjob which is to be run at 2:01 am. This affected two of my three x86 sun servers. The same happened right now, (monday to tuesday night) and affected only one of the three servers. I want you to know, that we had switched to summertime from saturday to sunday night, so this happens since 1 day after switching to summer time (that worked fine on saturday night).
Setting the date doesn't work, it will always reset to 1.1.1970 automatically:
server:~#date -u 010100302005 && sleep 5 && date
Sat Jan 1 00:30:00 GMT 2005
Thu Jan 1 00:00:04 CET 1970
ntpdate doesn't work as well.
I use these steps to get it working:
1) set date to something useful (gets automatically reset to 1.1.1970)
2) reboot
3) set date again to something useful
4) try ntpdate (doesn't work at this step)
5) reboot
6) set date again to something useful
7) ntpdate (works this time)
I'm very curious about this issue, where can I find out if can contact sun support regarding this problem?

Today it happened again on one of the three servers (v40z) :(
This is what I tried after I got it running again:
# date
Sat Jan 1 01:30:46 CET 2005
# ./ntpdate clock.redhat.com
29 Mar 02:29:30 ntpdate[334]: step time server 66.187.233.4 offset 39052701.743699 sec

# [ -x /usr/sbin/rtc ] && /usr/sbin/rtc -c
# date
Wed Dec 31 23:00:01 CET 1969
I also noticed on an x4100 server:
# date

# date -u 032902302006
Wed Mar 29 02:30:00 GMT 2006
# date
Wed Dec 31 23:00:02 CET 1969
/etc/rtc_config shows:
zone_info=Europe/Malta
zone_lag=-3600
I'm trying to get the reason for this, any hints how to chase the problem?

Solaris10 x86 lot of "driver not attached"

I downloaded and installed Solaris10 on my x86 system. Installation process occured without any error. But my ethernet adapter does not work.
After prtconf there was a lot of devices without driver attached to it. In fact, there was attached driver only to display adapter, IDEcontroller, FDcontroller, USB UHCI controller(I use USB keyboard and mouse).
How can I attach driver to device and how/where can I found proper one? All my hardware I found in HCL, some of it only in part "reported to work"
I have no experience with Solaris.
Any suggestions? Thank You!

Hello,
Thanks for the very helpful suggestions. But I need to know why I see os error 49 as below.
SQL> ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27123: unable to attach to shared memory segment
Linux-x86_64 Error: 49: Protocol driver not attached
Additional information: 393227
Additional information: 69
Additional information: 10
The document provided shows us the error may be accompanied by one of the following. Error 49 is not mentioned.
   A) SVR4 error 12: not enough space
   B) SVR4 error 22: Invalid argument (you are trying to increase SGA and
                                       SHMMAX is large enough)
   C) SVR4 error 22: Invalid argument
   D) SVR4 error 22: Invalid argument
   E) UNIX error 13 (Permission Denied)
   F) SVR4 error 24 - too many open files.
What does potentially cause shmat() to be failed with os error 49, "Protocol driver not attached"?
Please suggest.
Thanks.

I guess, it's clear that you need a valid support contract for your Hardware, otherwise your in troubles. A not so bad article about that you kind find at http://www.ypass.net/blog/2010/04/solaris-licensing-changes-the-real-story/
4.) When you purchase hardware, you receive an addendum to the entitlement that grants that piece of hardware perpetual, non-transferable license and entitlement to Solaris.

Help in compiling/linking a DEVICE DRIVER in SOLARIS10 x86

hello!
PROBLEM:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i need assistance in compiling/linking a video capture
driver (bt848x) (http://bt848x.sourceforge.net/) for
solaris 10 x86.
the driver uses the /usr/lib/libc.a (specifically the _xtoll.o)
which, if im not mistaken, is not available in solaris 10
anymore. so how am i going to compile it?
BACKGROUND:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
the original compile/link code in the makefile is:

bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o _xtoll.o
i modified it to:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o -L/usr/lib -lc
(NOTE: i removed the -r and _xtoll.o; and added
-L/usr/lib -lc)

QUESTIONS:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1.) What other libraries do i need to include so that
there would no more "symbol referencing errors" ???
2.) Is my linking code correct?
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o -L/usr/lib -lc
i mean, is it ok to build a driver with dynamic libraries?
or the device driver should always be statically linked?

I need to download 11g for Solaris10 x86

sorry for easy question.
I hope to install Oracle 11g on Soalris 10 x86 with VMware.
but I can't finding for a 11g x86.
Where can I do that?

Where can I do that?You can not find it because it is not available. And, apparently it will not become available.
According to information, you will need to wait until Oracle releases 11gR2 for Solaris x86. Unfortunately we have no date for that.

Mounting Solaris 8 formated disk to solaris10 X86

I had purchased a 1 TB SATA hard disk and used a special adaptor from Acard to plug it into my scsi bus on a Pinnacle Data System computer (Sun Clone) and succeeded in making 137 GB partitions (slices) and suceeded in using 959Gb which is probably all of the disk anyway. I then had to loan my adaptor to a friend. Unfortunately before I could get it back I had to fly to Germany from California for an emergency sw issue. I then went to Scotland and used a SATA to USB adaptor to plug the hard disk into my E250. I had no problem mounting all the partitions and filling them up. Now my problem (finally) is that I loaded a spare disk for my Lenova T60 with Solaris 10 X86. Why won't the system mount any of the partitions of the TB disk?
The system sees the device in the /dev/dsk directory but keeps telling me the device is already in use or the mount point is busy......I created the mount point. The system sees my 8GB corsair memory stick perfectly. I went into some other points and it seems the disk is an unknown format............what?
Anybody got any ideas, let me know,
Thanks, Mike
ps: Sorry I was so long winded

Hello Mike,
Solaris x86 and Solaris SPARC ufs aren't interchangeable due to big-endian and small-endian dependance.

http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ufs-discuss/2007-April/000857.html
ZFS filesystems are interchangable between x86/x64 and SPARC.

Sunstudio on Solaris10 (x86)

I have installed Solaris10 on a computer with standard Intel architecture.
The installation of SunStudio12 can not be finished in the way
described in the Sun .pdf paper, because
there (on the hard disk) is not any file
called .installer or like this.
I used once the tar-bzz version of the installation software,
on the medium called as sunstudi.bz2.
After unpacking it I got 2 folders :
one called SUNWspro, containing a lot software, among it file to launch the sunstudio.
another one called NetBeans-5.5.1 containing the NetBeans software required by sunstudio.
Nowhere there was a file called installer or batch-installer.
The netbeans from the folder NetBeans-5.5.1 can not get started,
because an important file in folder /etc have not been found.
Also the suspected/expected folder /etc/netbeans was not found.
I have installed NetBeans one time and could compile and launch java programs,
I don't know, why not now.
Does somebody know is to do to improve the system to let the netbeans start ?
Does somebody know, why the compilers, contained in SUNWspro
don't make executable files by compilation c++ cofde files ?
The executables, which the SunStudio Compilers makes by using the command line
don't start due to some memory errors, the log files called "core" -like don't let m,e open them in an editor.
regards for readers

Dear Nik,
I think, I got the problem solved, though I am not finished.
I try to split the message into 4 blocks :
1(sunstudio)
2(netbeans)
3(built by-myself biaries)
4(solaris)
ad 1 (sunstudio)
I unzipped by bunzip2 the delivered sunstudio sources:
$>bunzip2 sunstudi.bz2
After this I moved it to folder /opt.
$>mv sunstudi /opt
I unpacked the sunstudi to /opt.
There have been created 3 folders: netbeans-5.5.1,SS12_README_FIRST and SUNWspro
$>pwd

netbeans-5.5.1 sunstudi SUNWmlib SUNWvts SS12_README_FIRST SUNWits SUNWspro
I tried to launch the sunstudio by hitting :
$>/opt/SUNWspro/bin/sunstudio &
My machine answered with an error mesage :
[1] 5404
<$Validating NetBeans IDE at :"opt/SUNWspro/.../netbeans-5.5.1"
Sun Studio is unable to find a supported version of the NetBeans IDE at the specified location.
Sun Studio requires a NetBeans IDE version 5.5.1 with NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack version 5.5.1 installed.Sun Studio looks for a valid NetBeans IDE installation in the following order :
1) Location specified with --netbeanshome command line option
2) At /opt/netbeans-5.5.1 location, if exists (!)
3) At /opt/SUNWspro/.../netbeans-5.5.1 location, if exists
4) At /opt/SUNWspro/.../.../netbeans-5.5.1 location, if exists
Please run the System Preparation Tool (prepare_system), if available, to set up your environment
[1]+ Exit 1
So I tried everything to check, what just can be "guilty".
I found out, that the executable "netbeans" is suspiciously small (3824 byte).
So I thought, an error occurs everytime while decompressing sunstudi
and the unpacking of netbeans ends or breaks up without to create and place all its contains onto the disk.
Probably hardware error.
This was in my opinion the main bug for running netbeans and sunstudio.
I left the sunstudio on the disk and erased the netbeans 5.5.1.
ad2(netbeans)
I downloaded a platform independent version of Netbeans 6.5 and placed the zip file into
the disk to another place : /export (for some else important reasons) and unpacked it.
The netbeans started properly and I could build some java applications,
hoping to can add the C compilers from the SUNWSpro to the library of netbeans.
They have been found, almost automatically. The building of binaries ended with error messages.
But I got an object file (.o).
So I give the building of c++ apps by netbeans up
and I tried to compile the fresh generated codes typing
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC code.cpp -o out
It went well and I got later the built executable to run. It worked also well.
So I use now the NetBeans 6.5 from else source and I can write source codes.
Surprising way the netbeans found the compilers in the sunstudio folder.
But the ´launching of sunstudio by hitting :
/<sunstudiohome>/sunstudio & -- netbeanshome <netbeans 6.5 homedirectory>
was always aborted.
3(built by-myself binaries)
I don't need much to write in c (or c++). And right now I can't analyze,
why the maker made so bad propblems in the work at netbeans.
But the "direct" building of programs with one source file ended successfully.
4(solaris)
I can't get the PATH variable set.
The command line in the terminal takes everything but doesn't change anything.
The PATH variable doesn't change in anyway.
Something wrong occurs always.
I am sure, that the SOLARIS installation works instable or wrongly.
Many else of my SOLARIS troubles remain unsolved but it belongs maybe anywhere else.
Thank You very much for assistance.

Moving a zone in Solaris10 3/05

3/05 is pre # zoneadm -z my-zone move /newpath
Could someone please provide me with the proper procedure for moving a zone?

Hi,
what we have done in the past with the same version is stopping the zone and then
do a cpio to the new destination. Also we tried the same procedure with an
rsync procedure.
Both has worked, but the sizes of the copied and original zones had been different
by comparing with the du -ks command.
We have never seen any problems, but of course i assume that this procdures are NOT supported
by SUN.

/sbin/init not found after Solaris10-x86 first reboot

Hello all,
I just installed Solaris 10 on a x86. Nothing seemed to go awry, AFAIK.
After the very first reboot it fails to boot with this:
WARNING: exec(/sbin/init) file not found
(Could not start init)
Press any key to reboot.
So I'm stuck, it seems.
It does not seem that the / slice is missing as I guess I'd have a totally different error message, something like "could not mount root fs", I dunno.
I'm sure that if I could boot the install DVD in single mode I'd be able to go and really check if /sbin/init really exists.
Except that... I'm used to Sparc with its OPB, dunno how to get x86's equivalent to OpenBoot.
Anyway, anyone came across the same "missing file" problem after initial install, and if so, how did you get out of it ?
Bonus question, is there an equivalent to OpenBoot on x86 and how to reach it ?
Before you ask.. this PC ran on Solaris 9/x86 a looooong time ago, no hardware changes, so no need to send me to the HCL :)
Thanks,
Jeff

WARNING: exec(/sbin/init) file not foundSorry, can't help you with this since I never encountered such an error.
Except that... I'm used to Sparc with its OPB, dunno
how to get x86's equivalent to OpenBoot.That would be the configuration manager. Its the question you get in the beginning where it asks you what image to boot ('press b or enter to boot normally'). If you press escape there you get into the section where you can determine the default boot device and add new hardware drivers when needed.

What is wrong?
I have other questions,
A.Before install CRS,do i need some packages?SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWi1of SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs SUNWxwfnt,install guide told me these packages is necessary,but someone told me it wrote for solaris 9
B.How can i use the raw device?
C.Do i need the sun cluster?

These machines are in vmware server,and I use "vmware-vdiskmanager -c -s 250Mb -a lsilogic -t 2 "D:\10gRAC\votedisk.vmdk"" to create the shared storage.
-thanks
