Compatibility of Oracle10g with Solaris 10

Hi ,
We are installing Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 ( 5/08 ) & we'll be giving it to production . Did anyone faced any issues in the compatibility of Solaris 10 ( 5/08 ) & Oracle 10g.

No problems at all. In fact, I installed Oracle 10 R2 in a Solaris 10 zone Saturday morning.

Compatibility with Solaris 10

Is solaris 10 compatible with iPlanet Web Server 6.x and jdk1.5?

In general, solaris is backwards compatible.
So if it worked in any previous version of solaris, it will work with solaris 10..
And Solaris 10 ships with jdk1.5 by default.

Bind DMA handle fails with Solaris 10 x86

Our device driver and device uses no scatter gather and
we have always set the sgllen filed of the DMA_ATTR to 1.
Even so, ddi_dma_buf_bind_handle() would often result in
more than one dma cookie for a transfer on most x86 systems.
We handle this in the device driver, starting a new transfer from
the device for each cookie.
Along comes Solaris 10 and ddi_dma_buf_bind_handle() fails with a
DDI_DMA_TOOBIG error for all DMA transfer over 1200 bytes or so.
We are not sure what changed in Solaris 10 to cause our method to
no longer work.
Is the correct thing to simply set the sgllen field to -1?

Following up on my previous post ....
Setting the dma_attr_sgllen field of the DMA_ATTR to -1
does seem to solve the problem for Solaris 10. It works
on sparc v9, intel32 and amd64 platforms.
However, it does not work with Solaris 9 on x86 platforms.
In this case, ddi_dma_buf_bind_handle() fails with a
DDI_DMA_BADATTR error.
On sparc platforms it does not seem to matter. A value of
either 1 or -1 works for both Solaris 9 and 10.
In order to maintain backwards compatibility, we will need to
make use of autoconf variables, having our conifgure script
substitute an appropriate value for the dma_attr_sgllen
based on the host operating system version.

Make and dmake included with Solaris 10/Studio 11

Subject: make and dmake included with Solaris 10/Studio 11
I've been working on a project where I'm converting makefiles that were originally developed for GNU make to utilize dmake.
The one issue I've been having is that one dynamic macro "$<" (insert dependency) doesn't seem to work as documented in the make man page either with dmake and make (in /usr/ccs/bin, or /usr/xpg4/bin). Here's a small snippet of what I'm trying to figure out:
#### Targets
oraSQL.c: oraSQL.pc
$(ORACLE_HOME)/bin/proc iname=$< dbms=v8 HOLD_CURSOR=NO RELEASE_CURSOR=YES ireclen=132 oreclen=132 select_error=no lines=yes sqlcheck=semantics xref=yes CODE=CPP ORACA=YES MODE=ORACLE MAXOPENCURSORS=50 userid=$(CONNSTR) When make executes this, it should replace the "$<" with "oraSQL.pc". This does work with GNU make. Now, I know that Solaris make and GNU make are definitely not the same; the manpage for Solaris make at the section titled "Dynamic Macros", clearly states that the same behavior should exist. Unfortunately with Solaris make, the macro is simply replaced with nothing.
Am I being a blockhead, or is there more too this that someone here might know about?
Thanks in advance;

First of all, this is a well known problem. It is not a bug, but a
difference in behavior between Sun "make" and GNU "make".
The behavior of Sun "make" is documented in man page,
and we cannot change the default behavior because this will
break the existing builds.
Here is how it is documented in make.1 man page:
$< The name of a dependency file, derived as if
selected for use with an implicit rule.
Second, this problem has been reported several times (see CR
6593262 for example) , and we addressed it - we provided
environment variable to specify the compatibility mode.
SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE=GNU
- compatibility with GNU "make"
Compatibility with GNU "make" is partially implemented, and
will be improved in next releases.
Here is an example how to set SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE
to avoid the problem, mentioned in CR 6593262:
1. This is what happens if SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE is not set.
% unsetenv SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE
% cat Makefile
## -- Makefile --
ECHO=/usr/bin/echo
all: this
that:
$(ECHO) "soccer"
this: that
$(ECHO) $<
% dmake -m parallel this
/usr/bin/echo "soccer"
soccer
/usr/bin/echo
2. Here is what happens if SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE=GNU
% setenv SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE GNU
% env | grep SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE
SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE=GNU
% dmake -m parallel this
/usr/bin/echo "soccer"
soccer
/usr/bin/echo that
that
So, in this case the output is identical to GNU make, correct?
Please, try to set the environment variable:
SUN_MAKE_COMPAT_MODE=GNU
and restart your build.
Thanks,
Nik

Using 4.2 compiler with solaris 8?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get/use the 4.2 compiler with Solaris 2.8? If not, have people found that compat=4 was an adequate workaround? Thanks, John Ranta
Feel free to copy reply to my email
[email protected]

i don't know if it is possible to use the 4.2 compiler with solaris 8.
however we have used the compat=4 option for some ported code that
did not compile under the Forte 6 compiler without compat. we
have not seen a problem using compat=4 as a workaround.

HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10

I am having a problem to start the HTTP Server on Solaris 10 (I am installing HTTP Server as part of HTMLDB installation on Solaris 10).
I had a problem to install it at first, however I've found on 'AskTom' that unsetting ORA_NLS33 helps and it did. Now I can't start the HTTP server and I've found on metalink that 'HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10, this is targeted for Q2CY05'.
Has this been fixed yet?
Thank you for your time.

1) How to Boot from SAN for T4-1 Server with Solaris 11.1 OS on the disk? 2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?

FYI....boot from SAN is required for physical server (T4-1) (not OVM).

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

Several mysterious problems with Solaris 11 x86 install

Hi folks,
I've recently installed Solaris 11 x86 as a replacement for Solaris 9 SPARC on an Ultra 2 machine. I like the operating system, but I've promptly acquired some mysterious problems. The computer is a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E2500 with a Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, an 80 GB SATA disk and a 147 GB SCSI disk.
I have had a few occasions on which the screen goes totally blank, the monitor claims that there is no signal, and I have to restart the machine. However, with the blank screen, the hard drive activity light is sometimes still flashing. This happens predictably when I try to log off (as opposed to shutting down) and when I use Totem media player and click on anything inside the Totem window. The motherboard has built-in graphics and brief specifications can be found here:
http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/professionalpc/ESPRIMO/Datasheets/ds_esprimo_edition_e2500.pdf
Yesterday my PS/2 keyboard started causing the motherboard to beep crazily when I use it. It beeps rapidly 4 times, then prints the expected character. However, the problem doesn't occur at the initial log in screen. The mouse cursor has also gone beserk on one occasion, flying all over the screen (I had this problem with a previous PC, but a different OS, and thought it was a hardware fault, which I why I got this new computer). With the keyboard problem, the machine is basically unusable. However, it is configured as a dual boot machine, and the keyboard problem isn't present with Windows XP.
There are also a few smaller, odd problems. Occasionally all the icons vanish from my Gnome desktop. The command prompt also mysteriously changed from $chris@pluto to $bash-4.1 just before the keyboard problem appeared, although that might have had something to do with me copying my home directory to a different disk and editing the /etc/auto_home file (moving the home directory worked fine). Also, unlike with Solaris 9 SPARC, I find that I have to have external SCSI devices switched on at boot time, should I want to use them later. That's a pain. With Solaris 9, I could run "boot -r" when I first attached the device, then switch on the SCSI devices and mount them whenever I wanted.
After the useful advice I received here about "more" and "less", I thought I'd post these problems and see if anyone can help. I'd really appreciate some advice. Can anyone identify likely causes for these problems? Which problems can I expect to solve and which do I have to live with?
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy

Hardware Compatibilities with Solaris 10

Sun DS 5.2 p3 with Solaris 10

I've been trying to test out using LDAP to replace NIS.
My setup is a Sun Sparc box with Solaris 10 running
Sun One Directory 5.2 patch level 3. I have two x86_64 client
machines; one running Red Hat 4 and the other Solaris 10.
I have been able to authenticate on the RH 4 machine
with no problems, but have been unable to on the
Solaris 10 machine. I'm using Sun's native LDAP
client tools.
I've tried configuring the DS for anonymous access
to proxy access with simple authentication, but neither
one seems to matter.
I've copied over the pam.conf example provided by Sun
today, but it still doesn't seem to work. I can do a
"getent passwd" on the RH 4 and get all the local accounts
and the test one in the LDAP server. If I try that on the
Sun box I only get the local accounts, however if I
do a "getent password testuser" on the Solaris 10 box,
then I get the right account info. It looks like I can even
see the passwords, which are stored using md5; not
crypt, if that matters.
I'm tried searching for more info, but it doesn't appear
that DS 5.2 has been used too much on Solaris 10;
nor does Gary Tay's great documentation cover
Solaris 10. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
I can't believe it would be this hard to set LDAP up
with just Sun software.

See related posts:
http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2005-August/006688.html
1) make sure /etc/nsswitch.conf has this entry in it:
ipnodes: files
2) must run these commands as root:
crle -u -s /usr/lib/mps
crle -64 -u -s /usr/lib/mps/64
Other than that I didn't need to do anything different than solaris 9.
I did have to run this command on occasion though:
svcadm enable svc:/network/ldap/client:defaulthttp://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=271&threadID=25523

Does HP Proliant DL380 G4 work with Solaris 10?

Hi everybody!!!
I�d like to know if anybody made HP Proliant DL380 G4 work with solaris 10.
I didn�t find this server in HCL for solaris 10.
has anybody tried to install solaris 10 on this server?
tnx very much
regards
The player

I've tried. The biggest stumbling block is the RAID controller if you are using one. I was using a Smart Array 5300 but couldn't find a driver. As memory serves me, and it was a year ago on a G3 with version 9, you need to use the second or third ( I forget) CD for Solaris and not the first to set it up and you need a startup diskette (my name for it, Sun calls it somethig else) with the array driver on it. It was a real pain especially when my version of Red Hat Liniux found the controller right off the bat and installed nicely with NO errors. I think Sun's clunky installation needs some work to make it work better. Maybe Solaris 10 is different.

Problems with Solaris 10 + mod_wl_20

Hello all,
I've been trying to get apache 2.0.58 that's shipped with Solaris 10 (Sparc) with mod_wl_20 from Weblogic 8.1 SP6 with not much luck.
Every time I try connect to a mapped application via Apache+weblogic_mod I keep getting 404, it seems like the plugin isn't even being invoked, as apaches logs keep saying:
File does not exist: /var/apache2/htdocs/examplesWebApp
I copied over mod_wl_20.so from WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib/solaris and put it on the solaris box with apache in the libexec directory.
My httpd.conf is basically a copy of the httpd.conf-example with the following entries:
LoadModule weblogic_module libexec/mod_wl_20.so
<Location /examplesWebApp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost 192.168.10.120
WebLogicPort 7001
Debug ON
WLLogFile /tmp/test.log
DebugConfigInfo On
</Location>
Strange thing, the /tmp/test.log file gets created, but no logging dumped there.
If I connect to the Weblogic Server host, via port 7001 the examplesWebApp works just fine.
Have I missed something? - is the version of Apache2 that comes with solaris 10 okay?
Thanks for help in advanced.
_rob

Hi haili,
Thanks for the reply, I've modified my entry in httpd.conf to
<Location /examplesWebApp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost 192.168.10.120
WebLogicPort 7001
Debug ALL
WLLogFile /tmp/weblogic.log
WLTempDir /tmp
DebugConfigInfo ON
</Location>
The log file /tmp/weblogic.log is no longer been created.
Has anyone got it to work with the standard apache 2.0.58 shipped with solaris 10?
Thanks,
_rob

Solaris 8 client setup with solaris 9 ldap

I have managed to install iplanet directory server 5.1 that comes with solaris 9 using the utility idsconfig. As far as i can tell, all went well. Now i'm trying to initialize a solaris 8 client to authenticate to the iDS 5.1 on my solaris 9 box. What do i have to do on the solaris 8 client to "initialize it"? I've tried using ldapclient on the solaris 8 client as follows:
# ldapclient -v -P default x.x.x.x
but i keep getting the following errors:
findDN rename(/var/ldap/ldap_client_file.orig, /var/ldap/ldap_client_file) failed!
findDN rename(/var/ldap/ldap_client_cred.orig, /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred) failed!
There are no files in /var/ldap. I thought that one uses ldapclient to create them. Am i wrong?
Also, the output from idsconfig says that a 'NisDomainObject' was added to my domain but looking at the object classes in iDS5.1, there is no nisdomainobject.
I also noticed that when i run the command domain on my solaris 8 box, there's no output. Do i need to set the domain on my solaris 8 client? I have the domain defined in /etc/resolv.conf.

hi Stewart,
You may find what you are looking for in the following technical note: http://knowledgebase.iplanet.com/ikb/kb/articles/7966.html
It is called: "Cookbook for Solaris 8 client with Directory Server 5.1/Solaris 9" :-)
