Command specific to AIX and Solaris

Hi,
I have worked on HP-UX.There we used to use VGDISPLAY for displaying the space available.But how about in Solaris and AIX.How do we check and the commands which are different from that of HPUX.

Hi,
We use vxprint for VG display in case of Solaris.
For your refrence please follow thw below link , you will get a quick command sheet for AIX & Solaris.

Supported AIX and Solaris OS versions

Hello, can someone please tell me what is the highets version of AIX and Solaris Unix that Oracle 9.2.0.1 can run on?
Thank you very much.
David

Assuming you have a Metalink account, there is a "Certify & Availability" tab along the top that takes you to Oracle's compatibility matrix. You generally want to read through those notes because there may be caveats (i.e. everything by product/feature X is certified) or addenda.

SAP on AIX vs Solaris

Experts,
I am making a comparative study between AIX and Solaris to make a business decision to roll-out SAP. Which one of these scores well when it comes to running SAP applications? AIX or Solaris? Please share your experiences. Thanks.
~Yasin

Hello Yasin,
I worked with the 2 OSes and I must say that IBM virtualization options (LPARs) are quite impressive and easy to manage. It gives you great flexibility to share your hardware between isolated O/S images.
The Solaris zone concept is nice but not as flexible in term of isolation. One thing we discovered when working with Solaris zones is that you can have a filesystem used by 2 zones at the same time and you can't see it from the zones themselves. Only the global zone can give you a hint on this (I must admit that I am not a zone specialist and I quote a Solaris admin on that)
One drawback I see with AIX is that it has many "features" that make it a little bit apart of the other Unixes. We got for example a SAPINST failing because the filesystem mountpoint (which was created by smitty) had authorization root:sys when filesystem was unmounted. When mounted authorizations were correct (<sid>adm:sapsys). It was possible to read/write files inside it but the command pwd returned an error! AIX is filled with quirks like that.
As other said, it's more a "political" (vendor accointance, cost negociation) or "based on existing knowledge" choice anyway.

Can anyone help with Double Command issues. This a specific keyboard question and they do not seem to know.

How to export and import from AIX to solaris a whole schema with different

how to export and import from AIX to solaris a whole schema with different character set
import done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTF16 NCHAR character set
import server uses WE8ISO8859P1 character set (possible charset conversion)
Import terminated successfully with warnings.

The conversion between the character sets on the two servers are handled automatically. Export from one server will export the data given the character set defined on that server. Import into another server will import the data given the character set defined on that server, performing a conversion if necessary. This can be a problem when going from single-byte to a multi-byte character set. In your case, the warning is simply for your information, shoule be no real problem given the character sets you're using.

SSH Differences between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10

I use public key authentication when connecting via SSH but have noticed a difference between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 and wondered if it's an environment setup issue. I keep my keys in $HOME/.ssh
When connecting from Solaris 9 I can provide an identity file without a path regardless of the directory that I'm in e.g.
ssh -i my_identity_file user@hostnameThe above works even if I'm not in the $HOME/.ssh directory. But when using the same from Solaris 10 I get the following error:
Warning: Identity file my_identity_file does not exist.If I run the command from $HOME/.ssh on Solaris 10 it connects fine, and if I pass in the path like so it works fine:
ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/my_identity_file user@hostnameIs there a setting specific to SSH somewhere as I can't see anything in my environment that's different between the two systems. There's certainly no entry in $PATH that points to $HOME/.ssh. How could I get SSH to work on Solaris 10 by just providing the identity file name and not the full path
Regards
Rich

It's not explicitly defined in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, so I'm assuming it would be using the default which is ~/.ssh/id_dsa.
But surely that's irrelevant if I'm using the -i switch to provide the identity file?
Remember the problem here is that I have to provide a full path to the identity file, whereas before just the filename would do.

[Q] what is different of mail sending between HPUX and Solaris ??

All,
Would somebody let me know what different of mail sending between HPUX and Solaris is ?
I have several unix servers and some are HPUX 11.11 and some are Solaris v8.
To use "mailx" command in maintenance scripts, I set a relay server in sendmail.cf of /etc/mail.
What I'm curious is
,in HPUX, "mailx" is working without sendmail daemon. but in Solaris, "mailx" is not working without sendmail daemon.
I'm not good at those sendmail site. my knowldge of UNIX is very general, not specific and expertized. so need your help.
Why it works without sendmail daemon on HPUX, and why not on SUN which is not working sendmail daemon ??

Hi,
do you have a mailhost entry in /etc/hosts pointing to your relay hsot?

New to Sun and Solaris

Hello all. I am currently a Sr. System Administrator right now for IBM AIX and SCO UNIX OS systems and I am wanting to start learning the Sun Solaris OS and getting familiar with that in hopes to become a System Administrator for those OS as well. I know zero about Solaris or Sun right now other than what I have read about.
Anybody have suggestions on how I start learning Sun Solaris? I see Solaris 10 is a free download for x86 platforms. I was going to install that on my laptop as a dual boot for Solaris 10 and my current laptop Windows XP OS. Would that be a good start in learning Sun Solaris system? Would anybody recommend taking the training courses that Sun provides or would that be a waste of time? Most of the AIX and SCO UNIX OS I come to know and master is from learning on my own and later on taking some advanced admin courses in that.
My company is thinking changing to Sun Solaris OS and servers to replace the SCO UNIX servers so I just wanted to know any suggestions on how to get familiar with where I can get to the point of install, setup, admin Solaris servers. Thanks!

hi " mmitguy "
while I can't comment on
in hopes to become a System Administrator for those OS as well
part but I would like to respond on dual boot part, as I've installed Solaris 10 with Win XP recently on a single HD of my Dell 9150 Desktop. First I backed up all my data & tried to resize (using Partition Magic 8) existing Win XP partition (there was only one) & create new partition but it failed & I had to re-install Win XP.
So I would recommend first to make sure that u have Win XP installation disk & driver / utility installation disk available. And after backing all ur data from ur laptop re-install Win XP & while re-installing create 2 partitions. Install Win XP & install display / graphics card, modem, network etc drivers.
Installing Solaris 10: I downloaded Solaris 10 11/06 from Sun & burnt a DVD & ran into lots of problems so i posted this:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5137821&tstart=15
After that, some one from this same forum suggested to install Solaris Express Developers Edition 02/07 instead. ( http://developers.sun.com/solaris/downloads/solexpdev/download.jsp )
I re-installed Solaris, this time Dev Edition 02/07 and that was very, very simple compare to Solaris 10 11/06.
Good Luck!

Vista and Solaris 10, are they compatible?

I have attempted to follow dual boot guides found everywhere, but none tailor specifically to (or eve mention) Vista. This is a problem, because Vista does not use the same method of boot as previous versions of NT.
So far, in my many failed attempts at creating a Vista dual boot, I have experienced this:
When I install Solaris 10 on any partition (Solaris installs correctly and works great), and then attempt to install Windows Vista, Vista says all of my partitions do not meet its requirements for installation (that the drive is NTFS and at least 12 GB is all it tells me). Even after formatting, deleting, recreating, and reformatting a drive, the drive is still unusable. Only after deleting ALL drives, including Solaris 10, and recreating and brand new first partition does Vista allow me to install. If I create a partition that Vista allows me to use, and also a partition to use with Solaris, and THEN install Solaris, the partition that Vista liked can no longer be used!
When I install Windows Vista first (and it works fine) (which is what I tried first and reasoned is what I should be doing), and then install Solaris 10 on a partition (it installs correctlt and works great), I load up my computer and go into the GRUB bootloader. I can select Windows. However, when attempting to load windows, I get an error (in the Vista font by the way) that says my operating system cannot be loaded. When I load my Vista install disc, it cannot find any installations of windows, and it cannot repair the master boot record, saying something like the filesystem is corrupt. However, just as an experiment, I loaded Vista onto the former Solaris drive, and looked at my first partition. Every file was there, intact.
I have attempted this with Windows Home Premium 32 bit, Windows Business 32 bit, and Vista Ultimate x64. I don't want to believe that it's impossible to load Vista and Solaris simultaneously, I've seen as much stating its impossibility as I've seen documents telling me how to do it (<- cold irony).
As long as I can get AN INSTALLATION of Solaris 10 on my machine at the same time I have Vista able to boot, I'm fine, but I seem to have lost on all fronts.

In Solaris Express, this is not an issue, according to this weblog:
http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/solaris_vista_dual_boot_conclusion
For versions of Solaris Express prior to buid 70, this method was described for creating a dual-boot with the oh-too-picky Windows Vista:
http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/vista-and-solaris-express-dual-boot/
I am going to assume that setting up a dual-boot with Solaris 10 is similar to, if not the same as, Solaris Express, since the only steps specific to Solaris are the files I copy from Solaris.
I hope this helps anyone else with a problem similar to mine.

Dual Boot Windows 7 and solaris 10

Can some body guide me how to dual boot windows 7 and solaris 10?
Thanks

First partition your harddisk with at least 2 primary partitions, one for windows and the other for solaris if you only have one harddisk. It would be a good idea to create an additional small boot partition as the first partition as well if you intend on using an independent boot loader but it really depends on what your machine is capable of. For example, if you have multiple harddisk and your BIOS supports it, then you could just install each OS onto its own harddisk and use the BIOS function to disable/boot off specific harddisk. Otherwise, if you only have one harddisk and created multiple partitions, install windows7 first followed by solaris10, obviously installing into different partitions. If you have created a boot partition, then you can install the boot loader into that dedicated partition.

Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.

Dimension 2300 and Solaris 10

Hi guys....
I just installed Solaris 10 (Dec 8, 2004) on a Dell Dimension 2300 and it doesn't seem that I can start the graphics interface. Right now it's sitting at level 3 (text only) and I'd love more than anything to bring it to level 5.
I'm brand new to Solaris and dont know yet where to go get patches and/or drivers to support the monitor and graphics card... can someone help?
The video card for this machine is Intel 845. I did run the xorgconfig tool (according to another thread in this forum) and changed the video card to Intel 810 (They dont have 845 in the list). Still not able to start the xserver.
Will keep looking while waiting for an answer... Thanks all! Have a nice day...
Kevin

Seems like you're used to Linux. In Solaris run-level 5 is shutdown+poweroff.
Try to configure the graphics adapter by using the "kdmconfig" command. Choose "Xsun" and pick the following driver:
XF86-I830 Intel integrated graphics chipsets: 830, 845, 852, 855, 86
After you're finished with kdmconfig start X-Windows using the following command:
/etc/init.d/dtlogin start

Compiler directives to differetiate between solaris 9 and solaris 10

i have an API which makes certain function calls which are different for solaris 9 and solaris 10. i cannot add my own defines, since that would mean that applications too would have to define them.
does the Sun Workshop compiler provide any default directives to differentiate between solaris 9 and solaris 10? something like #ifdef __SunOS_5.10 or something like that?
thanks.

As explained in the C Users Guide, the compiler predefines several macros, one of which is represents the Solaris version number.
The macro name is derived from the output of the commands
uname -s and uname -r, starting with __, connected by _, and with dots replaced by _.
Running on Solaris 9:
% uname -s
SunOS
% uname -r
5.9
The defined macro name is __SunOS_5_9
On Solaris 10 you get __SunOS_5_10
__SunOS_5_9

Function-Based Indexes (FBI) on Linux and Solaris

I have a question about FBI on different systems (Linux and Solaris).
---- Oracle on Linux -----
SQL> CREATE TABLE T_DUMMY(NAME VARCHAR(20));
Table created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX T_DUMMY_IDX ON T_DUMMY(UPPER(NAME));
Index created.
However, when I do the same on the Oracle running on Solaris, I get the following error:
---- Oracle on Solaris -----
SQL> CREATE TABLE T_DUMMY(NAME VARCHAR(20));
Table created.
SQL> CREATE INDEX T_DUMMY_IDX ON T_DUMMY(UPPER(NAME));
CREATE INDEX T_DUMMY_IDX ON T_DUMMY(UPPER(NAME))
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I know that I have to add "QUERY REWRITE" in order to create a FBI. However, why Oracle on Linux behave differently. Would it be any difference/problem if I do NOT add "QUERY REWRITE" for Oracle on Linux (For example, would the EXPLAIN PLAN different)?

general user settings are the same (privilege, role) Well, the specific settings must be different. I would check to see whether one of the roles has been granted the QUERY REWRITE system privilege on your Linux instance but not on Solaris.

Variant of expect command having similar functionality in Solaris OS??

Hi All,
I am using one shell script in Linux with expect 5.38 command utility, this script contain ssh and sftp. Now same shell script I need to use in Solaris (SunOS eupr0016 5.9 Generic_118558-05 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440) but issue is that the Solaris OS doesnt have expect utility.
Please let me know, is there any other variant of expect command/utility having similar functionality to use on Solaris OS.
Thanks
