[b]Linux NFS to Solaris[/b]

Hi,
I like to add a NFS volume to my production server to keep RMAN backups.
My DB Server is Solaris 9.0 on Spark and my NFS server is Suse Linux..
Is there any special consideration I should take??
I am afraid I would'nt be able to recover if any crash occures if the file systems of DB server and NFS are different.
It will be highly appreciated if you could provide some information
or any links regarding this ..
Sameer

and Suse Linux is having Linux FS.Your Suse has ext3 or ReiserFS just for correction.
File systems of Solaris and Linux are different..
so, will it invalidate my RMAN Backups??? No. NFS is platform, network and OS independent. For more info link to RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1813.html and http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1094.html
And another useful NFS related link:

Parameters of NFS in Solaris 10 and Oracle Linux 6 with ZFS Storage 7420 in cluster without database

Hello,
I have ZFS 7420 in cluster and OS Solaris 10 and Oracle Linux 6 without DB and I need mount share NFS in this OS and I do not know which parameters are the best for this.
Wich are the best parameters to mount share NFS in Solaris 10 or Oracle Linux 6?
Thanks
Best regards.

Hi Pascal,
My question is because when We mount share NFS in some servers for example Exadata Database Machine or Super Cluster for best performance we need mount this shares with specific parameters, for example.
Exadata
192.168.36.200:/export/dbname/backup1 /zfssa/dbname/backup1 nfs rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=131072,wsize=1048576,tcp,nfsvers=3,timeo=600 0 0
Super Cluster
sscsn1-stor:/export/ssc-shares/share1 - /export/share1 nfs - yes rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,proto=tcp,vers=3
Now,
My network is 10GBE
What happen with normal servers only with OS (Solaris and Linux)?
Which parameters I need use for best performance?
or are not necessary specific parameters.
Thanks.
Best regards.

NFS latency when Solaris 10 client mounts Linux NFS server(EMC NAS)

Hello,
One of our developers discovered a problem that for simplicity we call "latency". We have several 5.10 clients that we see the exact same symptoms on when NFS mounting our Celerra. The NAS is running a Linux variant "2.4.9-34.5406.EMC", but before you all jump on the "it's EMC's problem" bandwagon, let me explain. We set up an automated process (Perl) that watches an exported folder for the appearance of a request file (rand.req). When the request file comes in we rename the request file to (rand.sav) and then return a "report" named (rand.res). Very elegent I thought, and it runs at near lightspeed when only Linux NFS clients mount the share and create, monitor, delete, etc any files. In fact there is zero recorded latency from the time the report file appears and when the client detects it. But for all our Solaris 10 clients, they create the request file just fine, and the Perl process running on the Linux box sees the file instantaneously and returns the report, but it takes the Solaris client anywhere from 5 to up to 50 seconds before it see's any change in status for any files the Linux box manipulates. I've tried every possible combination of mount -o options there are including noac, rsize and wsize variants, vers=2, proto=udp, actimeo=0, etc, etc, etc. Nothing seems to be the magic bullet. nfsstat -c shows nothing out of the ordinary. There are no retransmits or dropepd packets anywhere in between, no firewall loads, no connectivity delays whatsoever. I'm completely out of ideas. Any ideas or clues would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
Dave

No specific recommendations. But maybe you can watch the cable and get more information.
Set up a case where the file has been created, then have the client check and snoop the cable at the same time. Does the client actually issue a directory check (or is it just displaying cached information)? Does the response contain the new file?
Something to test anyway...

Linux emulation in Solaris 10

Hello, I am having trouble getting a Linux program to work in Solaris 10 build 61. I took bin/mktemp, lib/ld-linux.so.2, and lib/ld-2.2.5.so from Debian stable and the program dumped core with FLTBOUNDS / SIGSEGV when I ran it with chroot . bin/mktemp. I also tried a non-chroot variant with libraries copied to /lib, running a stand-alone lib/ld-linux.so.2, a different Linux flavour (ASPLinux) -- nothing helps. Could anyone please shed some light on what is the proper way of running Linux programs in Solaris?

There are rumors that a future Solaris 10 release might be able to execute native linux binaries.
Solaris 10 b60 is not able to run native linux binaries, AFAIK.
You may be able to run a native linux application with the help of "lxrun".

Linux support on Solaris 10 x86

When we are trying to run linux binaries on solaris 10 getting the following error:
update_records: Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2
update_records: this is linux binary.
Whereas Solaris 10 features states that we can run the linux binaries on solaris 10 natively. Let me know in which release of solaris 10 do we have support for linux libraries

That feature doesn't exist yet. It's suppose to come in a future update of Solaris 10. Your only option if you want to run Linux binaries natively is to use "lxrun"--otherwise get the source, if possible, and recompile.

Can I use LINUX Drivers in Solaris 10...

As a beginner, I have installed Solaris 10 version 08/07 onto my system. The motherboard is ASUS M2A-VM, with integrated graphics, network interface, audio, etc...
My audio and network interface are not working... The motherboard came with a cd which has windows drivers and additional software.
It also has linux drivers for:
Audio:
Core5
Core6
Linux
RHEL4
SUSE10
Other
realtek-linux-audiopack-4.05f
LAN
FreeBSD
Linux
SCO_OpenServer6
Unixware7.x
Chipset, and RAID!
Has anyone used any of these ASUS Linux drivers with Solaris...
If so what steps do I need to take to get them to work on my system! (I hate to ask, I know you all have better things to do) Maybe you can point me to a good book that explains how to go step by step...
My question is how do I get my NIC to work (What steps do I need to follow? the sound is not an issue, as, I can do with out that. Will any of the drivers mentioned above work?) thank you in advance for your answers...

Drivers are the "connective tissue" between the Operating System and the hardware. The connections from the drivers to the OS are not compatible between different operating systems, so no, you cannot use Linux drivers in Solaris.
If the OS is similar enough you can sometimes get away with it -- example, using Solaris 9 drivers in Solaris 10. But between completely different OSes? Won't work.

Problem with Linux executable in solaris

Hello
I have a problem. We have sunblade workstation with OS solaris 2.8 version. I have downloaded a program which is developed under RedHat 5.1 and complied with Egcs-1.0.2. when i execute this program i am getting the message like bash: ./Al: cannot execute binary file
I would be thankfull if someone tell me how to solve the problem.
Thanks Raji

You need lxrun do be able to run Linux binaries on Solaris x86. You can get it at
http://soldc.sun.com/freeware/details/detail_lxrun_0.9.6.1_8_Intel.html
I've never used it, so please post your results here.

Installing Linux Apps in Solaris Container

Is there a how-to or similar documentation showing how to install and run a Linux app under Solaris 10 x86?
I am particularly interested in running Linux WordPerfect 8/8.1.
I have successfully installed WP8.1/Linux with Free BSD so I have some experience in this sort of grafting.

Hi
You have a few options, none of them are great.
1. Wait for "brandz" (basically, other OS personalities in zones). No idea when this will be available, but I wouldn't count too much on it being in 2006.
2. lxrun. This is part of the companion CD - I'm not aware of any more up-to-date versions (though I've not looked in places like Blastwave). This will require one of 2 suboptions
a) that you install Linux on your UFS filesystem or
b) you install Linux on another partition on your disk/another disk and use an ext2fs driver* to mount the Linux parttion.
The SFW lxrun dates from the time of RedHat 6 or 7.

Define a remote linux nfs home directory for an open directory's user

Hi,
I want to migrate from nis to open directory. Everything but "auto homes" looks good. As I create a user with the workgroup manager, under the 'Home' tab, I'm unable to specify a remotre nfs home directory(linux).
So, I want client01(linux) to authenticate on macsvr01(mac osX 10.6.2 / opendirectory). When authenticated, I want macsvr01 to tell client01 that it's home directory is hosted nfs on linuxsvr01(linux nfs file server).
When i look the workgroup manager, the only possibility seems to be 'afp'.
When I try to specificy nfs entries, I can't validate my setting because the 'Ok' button remains grayed out.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Luc

I assume you are creating folders in a file server and its a windows machine , is it ?
You can install a remote manager on file server or on any other machine in network and execute your scripts remotely using remote manager
Also you can execute your script like wscript c:\CreateFolder.vbs
Thanks

Linux Support in Solaris 10

So where is the LINUX support in the new Solaris 10?
I downloaded the free Software Express for Solaris x86 Platform (11/04) and installed it on a Dell 8600 P4 1.8 system. Fresh install on a new hard drive. Then I tried to install the new FireFox web browser for Linux. Received the following error: �Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2�. I was logged in as Root. Ran a search of the entire system and found nothing using pattern �ld-linux*�.
ED :(

So where is the LINUX support in the new Solaris 10?It does not exist (at least not outside of Sun).
There are rumours that it will be available in one of the Solaris
10 update releases. In case S10 FCS will be available in
january/february 2005, and the rumour are true, I'd expect that
the linux support will be available somewhere in june 2005 (??
S10 Update 1) or october 2005 (?? S10 Update 2). (Pure
speculation be me, I don't know the schedule)
I downloaded the free Software Express for Solaris
x86 Platform (11/04) and installed it on a Dell 8600
P4 1.8 system. Fresh install on a new hard drive.
Then I tried to install the new FireFox web browser
r for Linux. Why didn't you download/install the firefox for Solaris x86
release? Or was that intended as a test for "Janus", the
(non existing) linux compatibility layer in Solaris 10?

[Solved] Arch Linux in a Solaris branded Zone

Hello,
After having read this article at the Genunix WiKi, I 'd very much like to install Arch Linux (http://204.152.191.100/wiki/index.php/I … anded_zone) in a Solaris branded Zone. However, the Arch Linux file to download is about two years old now, so I 'd like to roll one with a bit more recent kernel.
I just wonder what might be the procedure to do so.
a) Is it just unpacking the ISO inside the zone and let it enroll whilst booting?, or
b) is it advisable to install the old package and upgrade from there?
I am quite curious to learn how this works.
TIA, Algey
Last edited by algernonz (2011-11-28 18:42:31)

Hi,
it does indeed sound like an interesting little project. You should, however, revert to your procedure (a) and use one of the recent ISO images the Arch team has updated this year.
Using that old tar will give you numerous headaches when trying to upgrade. Doing a simple upgrade from that old file will most probably break the system, thats why they took the effort to provide the new ones.
Good luck.

Can I convert Linux library to Solaris?

Im sun user. using SUN FIRE V1280.
I got free crypto library compiled on Linux. Im using solaris sparc.
I couldn't run this code, due to different archeticture.
How to convert this library to solaris sparc, so that i can run it.
the library file extention is ".a"
Thanks in advance

You cannot convert a binary created for an x86 platform for use on a SPARC platform.
See if you cant get a Solaris/SPARC version of the binary. If not, maybe you can get the source code and build it yourself.
