Adding modem device to a zone

Hi,
Im trying to add a modem to a zone, but not having much fun.
Zones dont seem to have a /devices/ "directory" and so Im presuming you can't install drivers to the kernal and add them like that. Im also presuming that because of this, a modem would have to be added to a zone from the global zone using zonecfg in the same way that I have already done so with tape drives. But this doesnt seem to be working too well.
I have a PCI modem, which has been recognised in the global zone and drivers successfully installed etc. Ive tried using "add device; set match=/dev/cua/blah blah blah" like you would with tape drives, but this isnt working.
/dev/cua/modem1 -> /devices/pci@8,700000/serial@5:modem1
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks
Hugo

Oki dokes... maybe more information is required:
- global zone has modem drivers installed and i can use "tip" to access it (/dev/modem1) and issue hayes commands to use the modem (i can dial out and change settings and so fourth)
- have a 'full' zone setup, and ive used zonecfg to issue "add device; set match=/dev/modem1; end; verify; commit".
but this isnt adding the /dev/modem entry to the zone ..
is this a bug? - do i need to upgrade to 07/08 ?

Adding a device to a zone

Hello,
I have been trying to virtualize an old Solaris 8 machine to a container with great success....except...
The software running on this server uses appletalk to communicate to file shares and printers. When I tried a fresh install of the software in a Solaris 8 container, I couldn't install the /dev/ddp kernel driver. After doing some reading, I found that I can't run add_drv in the zone. So I then decided to p2v the server. I ran flarcreate with no problems and was able to install the zone with it. However, the /dev/ddp device driver was not there. I decided that I would build the kernel module in the global zone. That worked. I then changed the zonecfg for the zone and added the device with set match=/dev/ddp and it shows up in the zone now under /dev/ddp. Then I got the error that my network card couldn't be found. Sure enough, /dev/eri was not in the /dev directory, so I added it with zonecfg. Now I get an error that says permission denied when the appletalk daemon tries to configure the device. I am assuming that becuase the zone is trying to talk directly to the device, I can't do this.
I guess my question is does anyone know a way to get appletalk to work from inside a zone?

This is a crazy idea I haven't thought of yet, let me know if anyone thinks it will work or if it can even be done?
The core server is a Sunfire 280R that is in a cluster. (We run HA Zones, you can read my article in big admin on how to set this up at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/ha_containers_zfs.jsp) I have 6 NIC interfaces in the servers, of which, only 4 are being used (1 for our network, 1 for a backup network to backup server and software, and 2 for the cluster interconnects). If I were to assign a NIC via poolcfg and give it direct access to the zone, would that work? It looks like poolcfg only is used to setup processor resources. I have been looking through out Sun's website and online documentation to even see if this is possible, which I haven't found just yet. Which means it hasn't been done before, or it can't be done. I'm leaning on the first option.
If anyone out there has any ideas or where I can look to get answers, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Luke

I think sync just deleted all my data when I added a device

Summary:
1, Added new device,
2, device did not pull down information it pushed up to sync server
3, sync server did contain a few mb of data now it contains 19kb
Please help,
I added a device using my "Firefox Sync Key" not the three sets of numbers as i did not have access the the original machine that had my profile on it.
I checked the sync status, and I had a few mb on the history, bookmarks, pref, etc...
Once my new device had sat there for a while I went back in to check the data usage and it appears that the new device over wrote all my sync data? Sync size is now about 19 kb?
Please help as i did have some information information up there.
Tell me what I can do please?
Thanks,
Derry

Thanks, i've tried these, did not work
in "How do I set up Firefox Sync?" > "Get the code on another computer"
This is applicable to me:
But i did not have the device with me, so i entered my user name/password and "Firefox Sync Key" which i had taken from the original device.
As soon as i completed this I checked "view quota": it said a few mb.
After about 10 min I checked again and it said 19kb.
I just tried the reset ensuring merge data was selected.
And still nothing.
Thank you for your quick reply.

Adding another machine to Primary Zone

Adding another machine to Primary Zone
I have a good split-DNS configuration that has been working without issue for some months now since I installed OS X Server Snow Leopard (Mac Mini) at my company's office. We have another machine used as a file server (Mac Pro), without the dedicated server OS installed.
We want to add a virtualized instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 as a guest OS on the Mac Pro via VMWare Fusion. We want to use this Windows Server instance to host some private web based services for our corporate team (intended to be reachable from within the local private network, and remotely, from the public internet (with proper authorization to access only).
So far so good:
-WinServer2008R2 installed as a guest OS on the host Mac Pro
-WinServer's virtual NIC is in bridged mode (joins the host OS's physical network)
-WinServer instance configured with an IP 10.0.1.33, which is set aside and reserved for the WinServer by the local DHCP service on the same network
-WinServer successfully installed and tested IIS7 - both localhost from the WinServer instance and http://10.0.1.33 from other machines on the local private network (and from remote VPN clients) resolve to the WinServer's IIS default page properly.
Where I am stumbling now in configuring DNS on the Mac Mini to properly forward requests aimed at the WinServer instance.
DNS for the local domain is controlled by the Mac Mini. The configuration has been quite simple up to now, as that has met our needs. Just one Primary Zone and one Reverse Zone. We have an external DNS service from DYNDNS that handles any request for our domain from the external public internet. For now I'm not concerned with altering the external DNS service. Once I get the name service to properly resolve requests for the WinServer instance from the local domain, then I'll move onto matching up the external DNS.
--Primary Zones
Primary Zone:
Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net.
Nameservers: Zone: ourcompany.net. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
--Records
Machine Record:
Machine Name: server.ourcompany.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.11
--Reverse Zones
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.11 to: server.ourcompany.net.
The -checkhostname command returns:
Primary address = 10.0.1.11
Current HostName = server.ourcompany.net
DNS HostName = server.ourcompany.net
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
So I attempted to add a Machine Record to the Primary Zone with the following settings:
Machine Record:
Machine Name: dash.thewcateam.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.33
When I did this it added the following Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.33 to: dash.ourcompany.net.
And with the following records added I don't seem to have a proper resolution to 10.0.1.33 when requesting dash.ourcompany.net.
I'm wondering where I should look next in troubleshooting this issue. Any pointers or advice would be very appreciated.

Remove the "Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
It's probably left from when you first configured the server.
Though the "Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net." seems correct.
Then update the 10.0.1.11 record so it's added to the right reverse zone - "1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
In a MacPro we run VM Ware on a separate interface (en1/"Built in 2") that is forced up using a LaunchDaemon. "Built in 2" must be active in Network config in OS X but don't need to be configured (red "LED").
That way the MacPro can use it's own IP on the en0 interface without disturbing en1 and vice versa.

Adding a device

Hello,
I am having difficulty adding a device and tranferring music files to a new iPhone 5s.
I have an Apple ID which has 3 devices associated with it: a PC laptop, an iPod Touch, and an iPhone 5. The laptop has about 3,000 CDs saved to it and has iTunes installed to manage it all. I also have iTunes Match.
I just bought my wife an iPhone 5s. I created an Apple ID for her. I want to transfer music that I own to it but cannot figure it out. When I sign-in to my iTunes, there is no "Add A Device" function in the "manage devices" screen. I cannot add a device. Also, when I plug-in the new iPhone 5s to the laptop, it does not charge (like the iPhone 5 or iTouch) or launch anything.
I cannot be the first person to have bought a phone for a family member and wanted to add a playlist. Any advice?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

Great questions PankiBok! It's always important to know how this will affect your bill. You will be prorated when you add a new line of service for the tablet. If you add it today or before the bill cycle ends, you will only pay for the days active before it ends and the current cycle, so a month and 3 days for example. If you add it after the bill cycle begins, then your next bill will reflect the month in advance the days active during the cycle. Regarding your suspend questions. You can suspend a line for 90 days, up to 180 days in a rolling calendar year.

Is there any talk about adding a device to the ipad so that you can use it as camera like ipad2

Is there any talk about adding a device to the ipad so that you can use it as camera like ipad2

James-
As Jeanne mentioned, it can work as long as the added device is a camera, and you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit. The kit contains two adapters, one for an SD camera card and one that accepts a USB card adapter or cable from your camera.
With regard to your basic question, Deggie is correct. It does NOT work like a built-in camera, so you can't use it for video calls. You have to take pictures with the external camera and transfer them to the iPad.

Adding a Device: -201401. Make sure device is connected?

I have been able to set-up my Measurement & Automation explorer to detect my device (NI cDAQ-9188), but I'm having trouble adding the device. The error statement states:
Add device has failed. The error report from the device driver is as follows:
Add device
-201401
Retrieving properties from the network device failed. Make sure the device is connected.
How do I resolve this issue so that I can test my I/O modules?
Solved!

DAQmx version: 9.7.5
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Initially:
In the Network Adapters tab it reads:
- No network adapters found
In the firmware tab it reads:
- firmware version: 1.1.0f0
Based on the status of the network setting tab, I assumed my problem was related to the network connection. I reset my network adapters and this seemed to resolve my issue. Thanks for your help.

Provisioning - adding a device

Hi,
Today, I tried to install the app in my friend's iPhone (OS 3.1) - but was unsuccessful. I added the device at the Dev Central, pulled down the provisioning profile, installed it in XCode. The organizer did not like - saying that "there is no provisioning profile for the phone".
Can it be because the S/W version on the phone is 3.1 (7C144)? My iPodTouch is 3.1 (7C145) and I am able to install the app on it.
Do I need to go to Snow Leopard to support iPhones on OS 3.1?
Sam

1. After creating the PP, I dragged it into XCode - as the instructions said. But the organizer did show it also.
2. I added the device and then created the profile.
I am going to re-try in a while and then report back.
Thx for the response.

How do I stop iphoto opening on start up of mac? (not when adding a device etc)

How do I stop iPhoto opening whenever I start up my mac? (not when adding a device etc) There are lots of answers for stopping it auto-opening when attaching a camera, iPod/Pad and I have 'no application' selected for those, I just cant pin-point how to change the basic start-up/loading setting. Thanks :-)

In iPhoto go to the General preference pane and set No Application as the option when a camera is connected
If that doesn't do the trick connect your device to the Mac and launch Image Capture. In the lower left hand corner select No Application again:

BT Cloud - adding a device

How do I add a device to an already set up Cloud?
in "Managing Devices in BT Cloud | Help | BT.com Help" I found that "you can only change the name of a Device by deleting it and then adding it again to your BT Cloud" and then it gives details how to delete a Device but nothing for adding a Device. I cannot find anywhere how to add a Device. Can anyone help here?
Thnaks in anticipation :^)
Karel

re: gg30340
>If I recall correctly you just log onto BTCloud with the device that you want to add and you are given the option to add that device then.
That happens only the first time (i.e. when you are setting up the cloud), afterwards the option seems not to be available.
re: Driverpete
>Have you downloaded the BT Cloud App onto the device?
Yes.
Some more information:
I have set up BT Cloud on my wife's iMac using my user details. After downloading the btcloud app it asked me to name the device - I said 'eMac' and then I specifies one of her folders for backup...
... now on both our iMacs we have the following devices: btcloud Web uploads eMac
I have my backup in btcloud, Web uploads is empty and eMac holds my wife's backup.
I assume my backup is in btcloud because I haven't specified any device on setup. Had I specified (say) kMac, my backup would be in kMac - is that correct? In which case, what goes into btcloud?
Does anyone know how to create a new device in my situation?
Is this forum only for users or are there btcloud developers/support also present?

My iPhone added a device successfully but now won't stop searching. Any suggestions?

MY iPhone added a device successfully but now won't stop searching. Has used all battery any suggestions

Bluetooth when turned on is always in a discovery/pairing mode. It does not really use that much battery when doing so, but if you want to turn it off, you can do so from the Control Center, an easier way to turn it off. I've never turned mine off, and it does not make a noticeable impact on my battery. I suggest you check to see if there isn't something else that is consuming your battery.

Dynamically adding a device to a non-global zone

How can you add a new device to a non-global zone without having
to reboot the zone ? Obviously using zonecfg and then rebooting the
zone works but often rebooting the zone would be very user unfriendly.
In particular we occasionally need to add a new disk mirror in the global
zone and then let the non-global zone have access to it.

So each zone has a /dev tree that's private in <zoneroot>/dev which gets lofs mounted to /dev in the zone. You can mknod a new device in here and it appears instantly in the zone. Use the same major and minor numbers that device has in the global zone. If it's a disk device, make sure to major both the block and character device.
Of course, you want to edit the zone config to make it permanent (though I suspect it may actually be permanent if you mknod the device...)

Sound device problem in ZONE

I created a solaris zone for my desktop use, but the sound device was not avaialbe. I tried to export it from the global zone:
device
match: /dev/sound/*
then rebooted the zone, login it, found there were several files added in /dev:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           7 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/audio -> sound/0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          10 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/audioctl -> sound/0ctl
crw-------   1 root     root      34, 0 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/sound/0
crw------- 1 root     root      34, 1 Sep 17 14:50 /dev/sound/0ctlThe problem is: how to change the /dev/sound/* files for all users to read and write, permanently?
I tried the following methods but failed:
1. Change manually these files' mode to a+rw as root. But once I logged out the zone or rebooted the zone, the changes were lost.
2. Create a script in /etc/init.d/ and link it to /etc/rc3.d/ to let it auto execcute when boot, as below:
#!/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/chmod a+rw /dev/sound/*
echo `date '+%D %H:%M:%S' > /var/tmp/enable.audio.log
ls -le /dev/sound/* >> /var/tmp/enable.audio.logthe content of /var/tmp/enable.audio.log is something like:
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      34, 0 9月 17 14:50:30 2005 /dev/sound/0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      34, 1 9月 17 14:50:30 2005 /dev/sound/0ctlBut oddly, the permissions of these files would always be changed back to the original state soon, automatically.
3. I added an entry in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to change the permissions every 10 mins, and it did work, strangely. However I think it's not a good method, because I have to wait for 10 minutes before I can login it (if I login the zone before the permissions were changed, the sound device will never work)
Thanks in advance.

It's probably /etc/logindevperm that's fighting you. Read the comments in that file, then you can modify /dev/sound in it.
The idea is that only the user logged in on the console would normally have access to the audio device and the frame buffer, so the permissions are reset at login.
If you're having folks login through a separate zone, this changes that assumption.

Adding more devices to PCI slots

Hi all,
My G4 AGP specs tells me my Mac's 3 PCI slots are 64bit, 33mhz. I have two slots available and one slot I added a 4port USB card working great. Just curious but what exactly is 64bit, 33mhz? What does it mean? What can I add to these slots besides another USB card, firewire card, and/or external HDD?
Thanks
Web dude

Hi-
64 bit refers the the memory addressing architecture of the PCI bus. It is of consequence when choosing a PCI card not only for compatibility, but also for enhanced performance characteristics of 64 bit architecture. What the 64 bit PCI bus allows, is sequential read, write, and invalidate (clear)commands to occur in a single operation. This, of course, translates to performance.
33MHz is the clock frequency of the bus, or, more commonly thought of as, the speed of data transfer through the bus. This, when combined with the memory addressing architecture, yields the data rate of the bus.
The theoretical limits of the PCI bus translates to 264 MB/s for 64-bit @ 33MHz or 132 MB/s for 32-bit @ 33MHz.
The 64 bit slots are backwards compatible to 32 bit architecture as well.
PCI cards can have many different duties. External interface bridges such as USB 2.0, FW 400, FW 800 and eSATA are common for PCI expansion.
Hard drive controller cards for both ATA and SATA drives are also common.
Other types of controllers such as SCSI and hardware RAID are available.
Sound cards are also common for PCI expansion.
Video capture, ethernet, wireless, TV tuners, modems, even controllers with a hard drive mounted to the PCI card board are some of the expansion devices that are available.
