Networking with solaris 7 on x86

Hi all
i installed Solaris 7 on 2 intel pcs. At the time of installing solaris 7, i was only asked to provide the host name, it didn't ask for the IP address. So after installation I saw a line in /etc/hosts file which is different from Sparc machines. Here is how it looked:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost neptune
where neptune the local machine name, where i installed the os. Now i edited the /etc/hosts file following way
127.0.0.1 localhost
175.145.135.10 neptune loghost
after saving it, i tried to ping it:
ping neptune or ping 175.145.135.10
i get error message saying "ICMP error, host/gateway unreachable"
Does anyone have idea how to do networking in x86 running on Solaris 7???
thanks
Pranoz

Hi Allen
thanks for your help. I did that, but still it did not ask me for ip address or any network info. Then i tried to manually update /etc/hosts file with following lines it:
127.0.0.1 localhost
175.165.155.10 neptune loghost
After that i rebooted the machine and tried to
1. ping 127.0.0.1
2. ping neptune
3. ping 175.165.155.10
#1 returns "127.0.0.1' is alive. But #2 and #3 return following message:
ICMP Net unreachable from gateway localhost (127.0.0.1) for ICMP from localhost(127.0.0.1) to neptune(175.165.55.10)"
Does anyone has any experience/idea about how to configure network with solaris 7 on Intel platform??
Your help is grealty appreciated
thanks
Pran

Configuring networking on Solaris 10

How do I configure networking on Solaris 10, is there a single command or must I edit each file individually?
If so, what's the format of /etc/hostname.hme0

turnstile:
That advice will only work if the original poster has
a Sun SPARC system with certain integrated 10/100 Ethernet.
They didn't tell us what system they actually had.
The device instance name applies to its associated chipset.
HME is different from ERI, is different from DMFE, is different from DNET, is different from IPBR, etc, etc, etc.
etcetra:
Do the sys-unconfig procedure. If you have a recognized network controller,
it will prompt you with sufficient questions to configure it,
particularly if you do not know what actual chipset you might have,
and want a setup that survives a reboot.

Need help - setup network in solaris

Hello! Today I install Solaris 10 for learning in my laptop and have some trouble. Please help me
1. Set up network interface for wi-fi card iwi0
(a. ifconfig iwi0 plumb
b. wificonfig iwi0 connect airJet
c. ifconfig iwi0 dhcp)
2. Set up default route (route add default 192.168.100.2 (its my access point with dhcp server))
Ping -s 192.168.100.2 -> done
But when I trying in Firefox open any url - recieve error "host not found"
okay. in terminal i put
ping google.com
and recieve answer
host not found
What is my problem?
Thanks for u answers.

Try changing hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to:
hosts dns files
so that hostnames will be resolved via your dns servers. You also need to enter dns server info in /etc/resolv.conf.
Here's a tutorial: [Configuring Networking|http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/network.mhtml ] (kind of dated, but most of the info is still relevant)

Problem setting up networking in Solaris 8

Hi,
I have been struggling for a couple of days with the following problem:
I am running Solaris 8 on an Intel networked machine. The NIC is D-Link DFE-530TX+, I had to download a beta driver for Solaris 8 from Realtek (this NIC uses a Reltek 8139 chipset). As far as I could see the driver installation went OK, I see the Ethernet interface with "ifconfig -a".
I am using a home network with a Linux gateway to a cable Internet connection. The problem is, however, that the gateway (or any other machine on the local network) is not visible from my new Solaris 8 box. When I try to ping other machines on the network, the Solaris 8 box first broadcasts an ARP request to resolve the IP address to a hardware address -- I verified that with "snoop" and could also see that the network switch was showing traffic to all nodes. It seems, however, that none of the other machines reply or that they reply but the Solaris box does not get the answer... I tried to "hardcode" the Ethernet hardware addresses of the other machines into ARP (as in "arp -s <host_name> <hardware_address>") -- the result was that the Solaris did not do the ARP broadcast before the ping (since it had the hardware address of the pinged box) but it also did not receive a reply to any of the ping requests (this time, the network switch showed traffic between the Solaris box and the pinged box only).
Exactly the same problem occurs when I try to ping the Solaris box from other boxes on the local network (first, no reply to the ARP broadcast, then, after hardcoding the Ethernet address, no reply to the ping request). It seems that the Solaris and the rest of the machines on the network do not speak the same language :)
I am really kind of stuck since I do not know if it is a problem with the beta driver for the D-Link DFE-530TX+ (unlikely) or something that I am doing wrong (likely). I considered using another NIC to test if I sould configure the machine fine but I decided to check if anyone can help me with an advice.
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
[email protected]

Hi,
It's me again. Just wanted to give some more information...
I could confirm that the Solaris 8 box actually transmits data on the network via the D-Link DFE-530TX+ adapter but does not receive anything. What I did was:
1. A "tcpdump" (Linux stuff) on the gateway Linux machine and then a "ping" from the Solaris 8 machine to the Linux box with no ARP setup on the Solaris 8 box (the Solaris box first sends an ARP request to get the MAC address of the Linux box). The Linux machine showed that it does receive the ARP requests (something like "who is linux.machine.name") and that it does send back its MAC address to the Solaris box (something like "linux.machine.name is at MAC ..."). The Solaris machine did not receive crap ("snoop" did not show anything and "netstat" showed no incoming packages).
2. Same thing as above but specified the Linux machine MAC in ARP manually. Solaris did not send the ARP request but sent an ICMP echo request right away from the "ping". The Linux box got the request ("tcpdump" showed that) and sent an acknowledgement back. Solaris did not see crap again.
3. A "ping" request from Linux to Solaris. Linux sent the ARP request first to get the MAC of Solaris and (you may have already guessed it) Solaris did not receive crap and Linux decided that Solaris is unreachable.
4. Same as 3 but I ran it a short period of time after case 1 (note that the ARP request from the Solaris box was received during case 1 and had the Solaris MAC address in it which Linux wisely cached and used for the ICMP echo request from the "ping" instead of trying to obtain it like in case 3). Well, it should sound familiar, but Solaris did not see crap again.
Actually, I think it is impossible for my Solaris machine to receive anything on the D-Link DFE-530TX+ adapter using the RealTek driver (rtls is the name). After a day of futile efforts, netstat showed 0 incoming packages.
I am about ready to give up... My D-Link card is revision C1 which, according to the D-Link support people, should have a RealTek 8139 chipset (that is NOT the name printed on the chip itself). Obviously either the RealTek driver is buggy or the chipset on my card is not what it is...
Any (last) suggestions are welcome. Is there anybody out there that used ANY drivers for the D-Link DFE-520TX+ and got it working? Anybody?

Network configuration Solaris 10.

Hi all,
I got my solaris up and running with Audio and graphics working fine. Now I need to setup internet. I know the following details. Can anybody help me how to set this information. In linux I would, network configuration tool and on windows, I chang the TCP/IP properties. I don't know what to do in solaris.
I ahve the following information.
1) My IP Address
2) Subnext mask
3) DNS
4) Primary gateway
5) Sec. Gateway.

If your IP is dynamic, Solaris should get you connected to web, without your intervention. Just make sure the DHCP client is running (it runs, by default). Also check this compatibility list: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_all_results.page1.html
If everything looks good, you can try "inetmenu" tool to get a valid IP address. More information is available at OpenSolaris web site: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/inetmenu/

Network Booting Solaris 10 on Netra T4 - scratch memory overflow error

Hi,
I recently got a hold of a Netra T4 server, and am now trying to install Solaris 10 on it. Since the server can DVD-driveless, I had to resort to booting it over the network from a boot server. I have progressed through a series of errors, from not configuring the NFS correctly, to making sure the RARP was on as well.
The current issue that I am having is when i start the boot (boot net -v install), it begins to load the image, and then haults when it reaches:
Rebooting with command: boot net -v install
Boot device: /pci@8,700000/network@5,1: File and args: -v install
38e00 Using RARP/BOOTPARAMS...
Internet address is: 10.10.1.201

I'm not exactly sure why this is occuring, or what I can do to resolve this. Has anyone else come across this scenario? Judging from google searches, I haven't found anything that can help me fix this. Hopefully someone can.
Thanks a ton,
Kyle

as well, I have tried using various directories to install from, all coming to the same result.

Activate DNS on Solaris 10

Good afternoon
I installed a program from the console and displays an error with DNS, wanted resolve.conf file in the folder / etc and is not.
I want to know if this is in another folder on Solaris 10 or What can I do to activate the DNS?

You will need to edit the /etc/nsswitch file and add dns to the hosts entry for example "hosts: dns nis files"
You also need to create a /etc/resolv.conf file with the dns domain of your system, the nameserver entry (IP address) and the search criteria if you have multiple domains. (each on a separate line)
#vi /etc/resolv.conf
domain domain.com
nameserver 132.456.78.9
nameserver 132.456.78.8
search domain.com subdomain.com
Make sure that your name-services and your name-service-cache is online and enabled on Solaris10 or the named daemon is running if it is a Solaris 8 box.
#svcs | grep name (Solaris 10)
#ps -ef | grep name (Solaris 8)

Oracle 10g CRS autorecovery from network failures - Solaris with IPMP

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has experience with a setup similar to mine. Let me first apologise for the lengthy introduction that follows >.<
A quick run-down of my implementation: Sun SPARC Solaris 10, Oracle CRS, ASM and RAC database patched to version 10.2.0.4 respectively, no third-party cluster software used for a 2-node cluster. Additionally, the SAN storage is attached directly with fiber cable to both servers, and the CRS files (OCR, voting disks) are always visible to the servers, there is no switch/hub between the server and the storage. There is IPMP configured for both the public and interconnect network devices. When performing the usual failover tests for IPMP, both the OS logs and the CRS logs show a failure detected, and a failover to the surviving network interface (on both the public and the private network devices).
For the private interconnect, when both of the network devices are disabled (by manually disconnecting the network cables), this results in the 2nd node rebooting, and the CRS process starting, but unable to synchronize with the 1st node (which is running fine the whole time). Further, when I look at the CRS logs, it is able to correctly identify all the OCR files and voting disks. When the network connectivity is restored, both the OS and CRS logs reflect this connection has been repaired. However, the CRS logs at this point still state that node 1 (which is running fine) is down, and the 2nd node attempts to join the cluster as the master node. When I manually run the 'crsctl stop crs' and 'crsctl start crs' commands, this results in a message stating that the node is going to be rebooted to ensure cluster integrity, and the 2nd node reboots, starts the CRS daemons again at startup, and joins the cluster normally.
For the public network, when the 2nd node is manually disconnected, the VIP is seen to not failover, and any attempts to connect to this node via the VIP result in a timeout. When connectivity is restored, as expected the OS and CRS logs acknowledge the recovery, and the VIP for node 2 automatically fails over, but the listener goes down as well. Using the 'srvctl start listener' command brings it up again, and everything is fine. During this whole process, the database instance runs fine on both nodes.
From the case studies above, I can see that the network failures are detected by the Oracle Clusterware, and a simple command run once this failure is repaired restores full functionality to the RAC database. However, is there anyway to automate this recovery, for the 2 cases stated above, so that there is no need for manual intervention by the DBAs? I was able to test case 2 (public network) with the Oracle document 805969.1 (VIP does not relocate back to the original node after public network problem is resolved), is there a similar workaround for the interconnect?
Any and all pointers would be appreciated, and again, sorry for the lengthy post.

Unable to activate domains on solaris 10

Hi all, I have installed guardian 1.1 on my local machine (Win XP). I am using java 1.5_06. I was able to activate 9.2.1 domains on my machine, but not the domains running on Solaris 10. It keeps saying "The agent is not properly deployed to all running servers in the domain. Guardian requires that the version of the agent installed in the client be deployed to the admin and all running servers" I have deployed the guardian application several times on admin and managed servers. I still get the error mentioned above.
Has anyone faced this problem before. Please help me with this.

Cannot connect to network in Solaris 11

I want to install Solaris 11 Express on my x86 system.
I'm facing network driver problems.
I've 3 network cards:
*1. Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection*
In Device Driver Utility, This device is displayed as Ethernet controller, Driver is UNK and its highlighted in RED.
*2. Belkin USB Wireless Adaptor*
In Device Driver Utility, This device is displayed as Basic Wireless USB Adapter, Driver is usbmid_. It is NOT highlighted in red.
*3. NETGEAR WG311v3 54Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter*
The driver of this device is UNK. This device has a lot of driver issues in other operating systems also, so I'm concerned about the first two only.
None of the device is working, and the network service switches to "NO NET" mode automatically. Devices (1) and (2) are detected in Ubuntu 11.04 without any additional installations.
I'm trying out Solaris for the first time. Can anyone help how can I connect to the network.

I've absolutely no idea what should I do with the link.Not a thing. I did a search on your card and that's what came up. And based on the version number it should be included in Solaris 11 Express. Why it doesn't work is beyond me. The other search showed that a driver was in development but the discussion thread ended and all it said was that a driver was forthcoming but it never actually said that it was released.
Belkin USB Wireless Adapter
Which one is this? The other screen shot has it as a Realtek but your pictures only show Marvell.I've Belkin Basic Wireless USB adapter N150. In the image "Device Driver Utility 1of2" it is displayed as "Basic Wireless USB Adapter". On clicking the details of the device "Driver Details-USBadapter 1of2" comes up. The surprising thing is that, when I bootup Solaris, this components LED doesn't lighten up. I believe it happens when the device is not initialized.The other options would be to install VirtualBox probably under Windows and then let VirtualBox virtualize the adapter as something else and use it that way. Or you could search the Hardware Compatibility List and find something that should work but then you'd have to shell out some bucks.
alanI already have Solaris running on VMWare player. I guess I've to stick to it.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Thank you.

"could not activate network"

Is there any way to disable that "could not activate data network" pop-up? It's really annoying to have that appear when you're using your iDevice as a GPS when you hit a temporary no-data-coverage area. It would also be OK if it went away on it's own, but having to interact with the screen while driving for a mere transient issue is not ideal at all.
Thank you.

Installed windows XP on Sun ULtra 40, networking on solaris stopped working

Hi,
The scenario is following. I have three separet hard drives. On one I have Solaris, on seconed one RHEL 4 and on third one Windows XP 64. The windows and third had drive have been installed last.
Before everything was working smoothly. I dual booted the OS I wanted (Solaris or Red Hat) and DHCP gave me IP addresses, no problem. After booting once to windows, the networking stopped working on Linux and on Solaris. Windows works OK. Has anyone else experiencd this? The network adapter is nVidia MCP55 and it is detected during the boot.

What an earth Windows is doing to NIC?... or to the DHCP server ...?
To ensure that the problem is not the combination Windows-DHCP Server I would assign a fixed (non-DHCP) address to the NIC under Linux and Solaris (later I would switch back to DHCP).
Another thing I would do is when the problem occurs I would use "snoop" to sniff the data going over the network card (you may use "ethereal" to visualize your "snoop" results but do not use "ethereal" on Solaris to capture packets - it does not work correctly).

Configuring Network in Solari 10

I installed Solaris 10 06/06. While installation I didnot configure the network. Now I want to connect the system to the network. Can anybody suggest how to configure the network. The nic is not getting detected. How to know whether the required driver for detection of nic is present. Can someone guide me on this or point to some link.
thanks & regads,
rathi

One of the main features of these forums is to teach. Would you run sys-unconfig on a production multi-homed system? Do you also know that it removes the root password as well as NFS entries in vfstab? This command is at best one to avoid for anyone who supports a production environment or plans to. See the man page - you will find it does more that you might expect. Not documented, it also regenerates new system ssh RSA/DSA pub/pri keys, not a good idea in a monitored secure environment ... say a financial institution?
Oh and take a look at these ones:
