Anyone added a  modem to M4000  / SUN M5000 servers  - via xscf  or other ?

Hi,
Have any of you lads attempted to add a std analogue modem to an M class server, on older sun boxes the procedure is clear [ dedicated serial port, use tip with standard settings ] But for modern servers, cannot find any documentation on sunsolve or in server manuals etc - everything is for older class boxes where the procedure is clear.
New M class boxes have no serial port, the only option is the RJ 45 serial connector on the xscf console card.
I can connect to the port [ get "connected response from tip ], which is the default local serial console. But cannot get any response from the modem. Tried all sorts of cable combinations. The port is successfully configured for modem dial out. And if i take the modem off a normal terminal console window works fine if i re-enable the console service on the port. I have tried deleting and re-adding the standard ports and their associated port monitor services
Note i am only trying to get a response from basic AT commands not trying to configure PPP or a remote console or anything.
Dying to hear from someone who has done it and configured a modem to respond over this port. I assume this is /dev/term/0 or /dev/tty/a.
Can anyone let me know if i have missed something basic or need a non standard cable

For those interested, Sun support confirmed it is not possible and suggested it was a bit of a silly request. Though i did state the request was born out of hard core experience, when we completely lost our console and standard networks for 16 hours rendering the xscf card useless

  • Oracle DB on new SUN T5440 servers - any experience?

    I get SUN people all over me to try their new T series...
    Has anyone deployed or tested ODB on SUN T5440 servers?
    Does it show any inprovement against the older M4000 or Sunfire systems (i/o, multi-threading, CPU utilization ... etc') ?
    Thank you in advance

    This is one approach. Might I suggest that if they are so hot to get you to buy one of these boxes that you try it another way ...
    1. Ask them for a list of references in your area.
    2. Ask them to deliver one to you for 60 days, no charge, for eval.
    My experience with my apps and my workload may be very different from yours. Also, once it is in your possession you find not
    only determine the relevant metrics but it becomes a "used" box if you decide to purchase it.
    PS: Oracle is now in the process of purchasing Sun and that might be a good thing.
    Except that Oracle also wants to keep on very good terms with Dell, HP and IBM so Sun may be expendable.
    Do you really want to make a decision about Sun until you see more of Oracle's cards on the table?
    I would be highly inclined to wait until after OpenWorld.

  • SAP Snapshot on SUN M5000

    We have an SUN M5000 running Solaris 10 on Oracle 10. The box is split into 2 domains DEV & QA. We have problems restoring a SNAPSHOT because of the loop back file system with the path in the local and global.
    I have a question if anyone can answer or had experience.
    We are backing up our SAP systems by Taking Snap Shots. The Snaps are able to take a full shot of our path at the local level and is missing the files in the global level at the usr/sap.
    Global Level
    usr/sap
    Local Level
    usr/sap
    in the global level there is files in the usr/sap, although you can not see these files in the local level . When we restore from a snap, once it gets to the local files in usr/sap it can't find the files it's looking for because those files exist at the global level. Therefore when we restore SAP we can't get past this. ?
    Should we create all the usr/sap files at the local level ?

    An ABAP workprocess is single threaded. Basically that means that the speed of any ABAP program is running is CPU-wise only dependent on the speed of the CPU.
    An ABAP system can't leverage the multi-core multi-thread architecture of the new processors seen on the single process. You will see e. g. a significant performance increase if you install a Java engine since those engines have multiple concurrent threads running and can so be processed in parallel as opposed to the ABAP part.
    What you can do to speed up an import is setting the parameter
    PARALLEL
    in the STMS configuration. Set the number to the available number of cores you have. This will increase the import speed since multiple R3trans processes are forked. However, during the XPRA still only one workprocess will be used.

  • Sysbase 15 tunning on Sun M5000

    Hi,
    Does anyone had to install a ASE 15 in a zone?
    The host is a Sun M5000 and the db is using asynchronous access to raw devices and the dba is saying that performance is bad.
    The 120011-14 patch is installed and like is external storage the ssd:ssd_max_throttle is set to 8.
    Are there any tunning to be made on the sybase side or something else on solaris?
    Best Regards

    I'm not using Sybase myself but do you know the ASE Container Best Practice from sybase?
    It is available from http://m.sybase.com/content/1041285/Sybase_L02899_ASE_Solaris-063006.pdf .
    Without any information about what is actually performing bad nobody will be able to help.
    You may want to search the web for the "Solaris Performance Tools CD", which might help you to to identify problems.

  • Experiences with Sun T2000 servers on SAP systems

    Hello,
    We are currently involved in a project to migrate our SAP systems from a Windows 2003 to a Solaris 10 platform.  Our application server layer will be based on Sun T2000 servers for both ABAP and Java stacks.
    I would be interested in hearing from anyone using T2000s in the application server layer to understand their perception of the performance of these systems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Brendan Byrne

    We have actually solved the issues sourrounding performance on sun multi threaded servers.
    What you need to do is create a 'Zone' on the solaris server and then allocate resources to the zone.
    Then sap seems to fly.
    This is fully supported by the way.
    Just set this up with NW7 on a T2000 and some T5120's
    Basically what occurs is that you setup SAP on one zone.
    You then allocate the full 64cpus to this zone, as well as the 32/64gb of ram.
    SAP runs as one thread within the zone, but the zone then allocates this thread across all the cpus.
    Works like a dream,
    Regards

    My touch screen on my ipod Nano, Gen 6 has gone completely white. It had started going white the day before. I tried resetting it but to no avail. Does anyone know how I could fix this. Also I have 2 other ipods that I am no longer able to sync. It comes up with a message (best I can remember) something to the effect that my itunes version is not compatible with my ipod. Please help. I'm tired of buying new ipods when the new hasn't even worn off of them!!!
    Thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

    Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't.  If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

    Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
    The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
    AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
    External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
    External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
    A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
    That is all.
    Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

  • My OSX10.6.8 only connects to the internet for 5 second intervals??  Modem works fine (husband is not having problem on other computer), restarting doesn't work.  Can browse web just fine for 5 seconds until it disconnects.  Help??

    I am running Mac OSX 10.6.8, but this problem has occurred also while I was running OSX 10.5.  This problem happens about once every two or three months, but seems to occur randomly.  When I try to connect to a wifi network on this computer, it will only connect for approx. 5 seconds before disconnecting, either telling me the password is wrong (which it is not) or a "connection timeout" message.  During this 5 second window, I can access the internet just fine until it disconnects me.  I don't understand why it is doing this.  My router/modem is working fine, my husband is using our other computer without problem.  In the past, restarting my computer a few times seems to do the trick.  But at the time of my typing this, it has not made any difference.  I am currently connected via an ethernet cable, but I would like to go back to being wireless.  Any advice for me?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I probably can't help much, but I have occasionally had the same problem. You might try going to System Preferences>Network and look at your Airport connection. See if the diagnostics can help.
    Good luck!

  • Configure Sunray terminal to access various sun servers via xdmcp

    I have a Sunray server 4.1 configured and able to login using the Sunray terminal. I want to access other Sun servers via XDMCP. At the login screen I select Options - Remote Login - Enter Host name and enter the server IP address, it asks for the user name and passwd. After entering the valid credentials, it comes back to login screen.
    Also, want to know how I can configure the login screen to list the hosts so that I can select the server from the list. I tried to edit the options using Login screen setup option, that did not work.
    Appreciate if someone can point any to documents which can explain this.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    You can able to take RDP for client system from server. But keep in mind that; client system can only allow 1 RDP session at a time for administrator purpose. For that you need to have permission for taking rdp session. 
    Also you need to verify that “Remote Desktop Service” service is running and also need to verify the below thread as per snap.
    In addition, if you want to manage all the server and client system, then you can use Remote Desktop Connection Manager to manage all the client and server remotely.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Does anyone else have trouble with the button on I pad to access other apps

    Hello, Kevandsheila. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when experiencing Home button issues.  The article below is labeled for the iPhone, but the steps are the same for your iPad. 
    The Home button is slow to respond
    If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
    If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
    If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
    If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.
    Seek service is the issue is still occurring.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPhone to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPhone should wake up.
    If iPhone does not wake up, then iPhone should be serviced.
    If the issue persists after all the steps have been processed see the last section labeled issue not resolved.

  • Has anyone connected the console on a Sun M4000 to a  HP Comware 5830-96G switch

    We have a Sun M4000 connected to an older HP switch, and it works fine.  When we move the connection to the new HP Comware 5830-96G it will not work.  The switch shows the interface up, autoneg to 100mb full duplex, but no mac address.  Other servers like the T2000 and V215s all connect properly.

    Hi,
    seems the connection parameters as you indicated are ok.
    You can use the serial console connection to verify that networking is still enabled
    >shownetwork
    and you can check
    >showlogs monitor
    for errors, if any.
    Just to confirm, did you use the correct port on the xscf?

  • Adding a JDBC driver in Sun Java System Web Server 7

    I'm trying to configure JDBC database connection pooling for a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition though the Sun Java System Web Server 7 administration console. I don't want to use the MSSQL JDBC driver that comes bundled with the SJSWS 7. So I've downloaded the lastest MSSQL JDBC driver from the Microsoft website and put in the "lib" subdirectory of the SJSWS installation directory. So when I go to add a new JDBC resource through the administration console, the newly added MSSQL database driver doesn't appear in the "Driver Vendor" drop-down box.
    How do I add the downloaded JDBC driver to the server so that it appears in the "Driver Vendor" drop-down under "Create JDBC resource".

    Check this documentation from MS on using the JDBC driver with DataSource
    http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms379052.aspx
    SJS Web Server 7.0 should work with any driver that has support for javax.sql.DataSource. The great majority of drivers do.
    So instead of using the driver name, use the DataSource class name:
    com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource
    The properties to add should be:
    user=username
    password=password
    servername=sql_server_hostname
    portnumber=sql_server_port
    databasename=databasename
    In general, all the setters required to get the datasource configured can be set as properties.
