Configuration of PostgreSQL in Solaris 10

I really having problems in configuring postgreSQL in my desktop...
When i execute the initdb command it display this error:
The user must own the server process.
thanx

you have to be user postgres to use that command. if you are your regular user or root it won't work.
so become root and type:
su - postgres
then type your command initdb (with whatever appropriate arguments) and it should work and initialize your database cluster.

How to configure tape to sun solaris server?

Hi
We have a tape "Quantum Super DLT 600 tape drive" connected to Sun solaris 9 and working properly.
Now we want to connect and configure it to Sun solaris 10 server. I want to know how we can do it?
I checked in st.conf file , "#tape-config-list=" is commented in both solaris 9 while in solaris 10 it is not there.
I think i will just have to connect the tape to new srver(solaris 10) and do a reconfiguration boot. Right??
Also, what do i need to do for connecting the tape back to solaris 9 server.
Thanks

You really don't need to reboot the server. Connect the tape to the server and type devfsadm -Cv. Then type dmesg and check whether Solaris detect the tape or not.
if not do a reboot and see.
after doing one of above, insert a tape to the tape drive and type "mt stat" and see you got any output about a tape.
Refer Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 System Administration Guides.

How to configure Proxy server on Solaris 10 - SPARC

Hi All
Please guide on how to configure Proxy server on Solaris 10 - SPARC ?
What tool should be used?

Proxy configurations are most often done within the application software that needs that function and not necessarily done in the OS. That permits you to make very specific settings and not just generic global settings that could conflict with other software.
Can you tell us what research you have done on the topic?
For example, have you glanced through a Google search on "solaris web proxy" ?
If you are hoping to use a specific web server application your forum post might be better placed in a forum space for that software instead of in a general OS forum space. What application software will you be using?

Configuring SunScreen Firewall on Solaris 8

Hi,
I'm trying to configure SunScreen Firewall on Solaris 8 and i would like to know what is 'tcp/ip high ports" ? And i have to configure NAT also on the same machine so that few of the machines behind firewall can
communicate to the Server host infront of firewall. And currently i've the configuration like this.
-- Firewall is configured with single policy
--And the Rules are added correctly for NAT.
And after the policy is verified successfully, the communication is across the Firewall. But after this
following rules are added to configure tcp/ip high ports.(not sure about the service).
-- The rules are configured like this.
edit> add rule common localhost * ALLOW COMMENT "Allow firewall access out"
edit> add rule tcp-high-ports hme0.net * ALLOW
edit> add rule udp-high-ports hme0.net * ALLOW
Now i'm unable to communicate to the server infront of Firewall after policy is activated successfully.
I would appreciate if someone can help me on this.
Thanks,
Mullapudi

HI,
i don't know sunscreen, but i can tell you that high-ports are ports above 1023.

During Postgresql configuration initdb freezes on solaris 10 x86

Hi,
Ive installed Solaris 10 10/08 x86 in a VMware environment. The install went successfully, but when I tried to configure postgresql 8.2 to run the OS freezes when I run initdb.
I followed the instructions from the man pages, created all the environment variables and configured all the necessary permissions. Below is the output when I run initdb in debug mode.

Hi,
Based on feedback from another site, and some more research it seems that this is a bug. You can view more information at http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6579274. It looks like this bug has been resolve and will be in the next Solaris update. I'm not sure if it was fixed in the current patch set, as I don't have a support account. From the patch report (http://sunsolve.sun.com/patchRedirnew.do?type=report&item=10_x86_patch_report), it seems that the related bug, 6529185, was fixed.
So, if you have a support account then you can download the latest patches and see if it was patched. I wanted to try Solaris 10 out before purchasing a support account, so I've resolved to use a release earlier than 10/08. I hope this helps

PostgreSQL 8.0.02 for J2EE applications on Solaris 10
Abstract
Advance planning enables PostgreSQL 8 and its associated JDBC driver to be quickly deployed in a
basic but resilient and IO efficient manner.
Minimal change is required to switch JDBC applications from Oracle to PostgreSQL.

Introduction
This paper documents how to deploy PostgreSQL 8 and its associated JDBC driver in a basic but both
resilient and IO efficient manner. Guidance for switching from Oracle to PostgreSQL is also provided.
It is based upon experience with the following configurations =>
PostgreSQL 8.0.2 on Solaris 10
PostgreSQL JDBC driver on Windows 2000
using the PostgreSQL distributions =>
postgresql-base-8.0.2.tar.gz
postgresql-8.0-311.jdbc3.jar

Background for Oracle DBAs
For DBAs coming from an Oracle background, PostgreSQL has a number of familiar concepts including
Checkpoints
Tablespaces
MVCC concurrency model
Write ahead log (WAL)+ PITR
Background DB writer
Statistics based optimizer
Recovery = Backup + archived WALs + current WALs
However , whereas 1 Oracle instance (set of processes) services 1 physical database, PostgreSQL differs in
that
1 PostgreSQL �cluster� services n * physical DBs
1 cluster has tablespaces (accessible to all DBs)
1 cluster = 1 PostgreSQL instance = set of server processes etc ( for all DBs) + 1 tuning config +
1 WAL
User accts are cluster wide by default
There is no undo or BI file � so to support MVCC, the �consistent read� data is held in the tables
themselves and once obsolete needs to be cleansed out using the �vacuum� utility.
The basic PostgreSQL deployment guidelines for Oracle aware DBAs are to =>
Create only 1 DB per cluster
Have 1 superuser per cluster
Let only the superuser create the database
Have one user to create/own the DB objects + n* endusers with appropriate read/write access
Use only ANSI SQL datatypes and DDL.
Wherever possible avoid DB specific SQL extensions to ensure cross-database portability
IO distribution & disc layouts
It is far better to start out with good disc layouts rather than reto-fix for a production database.
As with any DBMS, for resilience, the recovery components ( eg. backups , WAL, archived WAL logs)
should kept on devices separate from the actual data.
So the basic rules for resilience are as follows.
For non disc array or JBOD systems =>
keep recovery components separate from data on dedicated discs etc
keep WAL and data on separate disc controllers
mirror WAL across discs ( preferably across controllers) for protection against WAL spindle loss
For SAN based disc arrays (eg HP XP12000) =>
keep recovery components separate from data on dedicated LUNs etc
use Host Adapter Multipathing drivers (such as mpxio) with 2 or more HBAs for access to SAN .
Deploy application data on mirrored/striped (ie RAID 1+0) or write-cache fronted RAID 5 storage.
The WAL log IO should be configured to be osync for resilience (see basic tuning in later section).
Ensure that every PostgreSQL component on disc is resilient (duplexed) !
Recovery can be very stressful�
Moving onto IO performance, it is worth noting that WAL IO and general data IO access have different IO
characteristics.
� Chris Drawater, 2005
PostgreSQL 8.0.2 on Solaris, v1.2
p2/10
Page 3
WAL sequential access (write mostly)
Data sequential scan, random access write/read
The basic rules for good IO performance �.
use tablespaces to distribute data and thus IO across spindles or disc array LUNs
keep WAL on dedicated spindles/LUNs (mirror/stripe in preference to RAID 5)
keep WAL and arch WAL on separate spindles to reduce IO on WAL spindles.
RAID or stripe data across discs/LUNs in 1 Mb chunks/units if unsure as what chunk size to use.
For manageability, keep the software distr and binaries separate from the database objects.
Likewise, keep the system catalogs and non-application data separate from the application specific data.
5 distinct storage requirements can be identified =>
Software tree (Binaries, Source, distr)
Shared PG sys data
WAL logs
Arch WAL logs
Application data
For the purposes of this document , the following minimal set of FS are suggested =>
/opt/postgresql/8.0.2
# default 4 Gb for software tree
/var/opt/postgresql
# default 100 Mb
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/sys
# default size 1Gb for shared sys data
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/wal
# WAL location # mirrored/striped
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/archwal
# archived WALs
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/data
# application data + DB sys catalogs # RAID 5
where CLUST is your chosen name for the Postgres DB cluster
For enhanced IO distribution , a number of �/data FS (eg data01, data02 etc) could be deployed.
Pre-requisites !
The GNU compiler and make software utilities (available on the Solaris 10 installation CDs) =>
gcc (compiler) ( $ gcc --version => 3.4.3 )
gmake (GNU make)
are required and should be found in
/usr/sfw/bin
Create the Unix acct
postgres
in group dba
with a home directory of say /export/home/postgresql
using
$ useradd utility
or hack
/etc/group then /etc/passwd then run pwconv and then passwd postgres
Assuming the following FS have been created =>

/opt/postgresql/8.0.2
# default 4 Gb for the PostgreSQL software tree
/var/opt/postgresql
# default 100 Mb
create directories
/opt/postgresql/8.0.2/source
# source code
/opt/postgresql/8.0.2/distr
# downloaded distribution
all owned by user postgres:dba with 700 permissions
To ensure, there are enough IPC resources to use PostgreSQL, edit /etc/system and add the following lines
=>
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=1300000000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=200
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=20
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=800

set rlim_fd_cur=1024
# per process file descriptor soft limit
set rlim_fd_max=4096
# per process file descriptor hard limit
Thenn on the console (log in as root) =>
$ init 0
{a} ok boot -r
Download Source
Download the source codes from http://www.postgresql.org (and if downloaded via Windows, remember
to ftp in binary mode) =>
Distributions often available include =>
postgresql-XXX.tar.gz => full source distribution.
postgresql-base-XXX.tar.gz => Server and the essential client interfaces
postgresql-opt-XXX.tar.gz => C++, JDBC, ODBC, Perl, Python, and Tcl interfaces, as well as multibyte
support
postgresql-docs-XXX.tar.gz => html docs
postgresql-test-XXX.tar.gz => regression test
For a working, basic PostgreSQL installation supporting JDBC applications, simply use the �base�
distribution.
Create Binaries
Unpack Source =>
$ cd /opt/postgresql/8.0.2/distr
$ gunzip postgresql-base-8.0.2.tar.gz
$ cd /opt/postgresql/8.0.2/source
$ tar -xvof /opt/postgresql/8.0.2/distr/postgresql-base-8.0.2.tar

Startup, Shutdown and basic tuning of servers

First take a safety copy =>
$ cd $PGDATA
$ cp postgresql.conf postgresql.conf.orig
then make the following (or similar changes) to postgresql.conf =>
# listener
listen_addresses = 'localhost'
port = 5432
# data buffer cache
shared_buffers = 10000
# each 8Kb so depends upon memory available
#checkpoints
checkpoint_segments = 3
# default
checkpoint_timeout = 300
# default
checkpoint_warning = 30
# default � logs warning if ckpt interval < 30s
# log related
fsync = true
# resilience
wal_sync_method = open_sync
# resilience
commit_delay = 10
# group commit if works
archive_command = 'cp "%p" /var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/archwal/"%f"'
# server error log
log_line_prefix = '%t :'
# timestamp
log_min_duration_statement = 1000
# log any SQL taking more than 1000ms
log_min_messages = info
#transaction/locks
default_transaction_isolation = 'read committed'
Restart the servers =>
$ pg_ctl start -l /tmp/logfile
Create the Database
This requires the FS =>
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/wal
# WAL location
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/archwal
# archived WALs
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/data
# application data + DB sys catalogs
plus maybe also =>
/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/backup
# optional for data and config files etc as staging
area for tape
Create the clusterwide tablespaces (in this example, a single tablespace named �appdata�) =>
$ psql template1
� Chris Drawater, 2005
PostgreSQL 8.0.2 on Solaris, v1.2
p6/10
Page 7
template1=# CREATE TABLESPACE appdata LOCATION '/var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/data';
template1=# SELECT spcname FROM pg_tablespace;
spcname
pg_default
pg_global
appdata
(3 rows)
and add to the server config =>
default_tablespace = 'appdata'
Next, create the database itself (eg name = db9, unicode char set) =>
$ createdb -D appdata -E UNICODE -e db9
# appdata = default TABLESPACE
$ createlang -d db9 plpgsql
# install 'Oracle PL/SQL like' language
WAL logs are stored in the directory pg_xlog under the data directory. Shut the server down & move the
directory pg_xlog to /var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/wal and create a symbolic link from the original location in
the main data directory to the new path.
$ pg_ctl stop
$ cd $PGDATA
$ mv pg_xlog /var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/wal
$ ls /var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/wal
$ ln -s /var/opt/postgresql/CLUST/wal/pg_xlog $PGDATA/pg_xlog
# soft link as across FS
$ pg_ctl start -l /tmp/logfile
Assuming all is now working OK, shutdown PostgreSQL & backup up all the PostgreSQL related FS
above� just in case�!

User Accounts
Create 1 * power user to create/own/control the tables (using psql) =>
$ pgsql template1
create user cxd with password 'abc';
grant create on tablespace appdata to cxd;
Do not create any more superusers or users that can create databases!
Now create n* enduser accts to work against the data =>
$pgsql template1
CREATE GROUP endusers;
create user enduser1 with password 'xyz';
ALTER GROUP endusers ADD USER enduser1;
$ psql db9 cxd
grant select. on <table>. to group endusers;
JDBC driver
A pure Java (Type 4) JDBC driver implementation can be downloaded from
http://jdbc.postgresql.org/
Assuming the use of the SDK 1.4 or 1.5, download
postgresql-8.0-311.jdbc3.jar
and include this in your application CLASSPATH.
(If moving JAR files between different hardware types, always ftp in BIN mode).
Configure PostgreSQL to accept JDBC Connections
To allow the postmaster listener to accept TCP/IP connections from client nodes running the JDBC
applications, edit the server configuration file and change
listen_addresses = '*'
# * = any IP interface
Alternatively, this parameter can specify only selected IP interfaces ( see documentation).
In addition, the client authetication file will need to edited to allow access to our database server.
First take a backup of the file =>
$ cp pg_hba.conf pg_hba.conf.orig
Add the following line =>
host db9
cxd
0.0.0.0/0
password
where , for this example, database db9, user cxd, auth password

Switching JDBC applications from Oracle to PostgreSQL
The URL used to connect to the PostgreSQL server should be of the form
jdbc:postgresql://host:port/database
If used, replace the line (used to load the JDBC driver)
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
with
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
Remove any Oracle JDBC extensions, such as
((OracleConnection)con2).setDefaultRowPrefetch(50);
Instead, the row pre-fetch must be specified at an individual Statement level =>
eg.
PreparedStatement pi = con1.prepareStatement(�select�.�);
pi.setFetchSize(50);
If not set, the default fetch size = 0;
Likewise, any non ANSI SQL extensions will need changing.
For example sequence numbers
Oracle => online_id.nextval
should be replaced by
PostgreSQL => nextval('online_id')
Oracle �hints� embedded within SQL statements are ignored by PostgreSQL.
Now test your application!
Concluding Remarks
At this stage, you should now have a working PostgreSQL database fronted by a JDBC based application,
and the foundations will have been laid for :
A reasonably level of resilience (recoverability)
A good starting IO distribution
The next step is to tune the system under load� and that�s another doc�

How to configure network printer on solaris 10 intel based

how to configure the network printer in solaris 10
like hp laserjet printer/printers,

Very very easy.
Go to the print manager . (printmgr I believe or in the launch menu under preferences)
select add a network printer
Fill out the info. I find that the hpijs printer driver works better then the suggested foomatic on my hp 4000s. I could not print pdfs otherwise.
Other things to know is the protocol should be BSD (at least it works for me). And add the port to the destination so 192.168.0.1:9600 for example (for hp).
thats about it. To have it show up correctly in JDS you should probably add it to the printer list under the launch->preferences->printer preferences.

Configure DHCP Server in Solaris 10

Hi,
I am trying to configure my Solaris 10 as an DHCP server. I managed get it configured and assigning IP address to my client machines (Windows XPs). However, I can't figure out how to get the "Default Gateway" passed into the Windows XP. Here is what I have done so far:
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -D -r SUNWfiles -p /var/dhcp
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -N 192.168.1.0 -t 192.168.1.1
# pntadm -A 192.168.1.51 -m dns 192.168.1.0
But on the Windows XP clients, I get the right IP address, and netmask, but the default gateway is blank. How do I specify that in my DHCP server so that the default gateway gets sent to the XP clients?
Thanks.

How to configure my netwok in solaris 10 to get an internet connection

Hi,
I am new to this forum and to Solaris in general. I am sorry if this question was asked and treated before.
I just successfully installed Solaris 10 on an intel based workstation. I have an ip address that shows that is "**static**". I have a Fios router which i can get to from Mozilla firefox by opening 192.168.1.1 but i cannot get an internet connection even to register my copy of of Solaris or to get updates.
In the network proxy configuration, I selected : Direct internet connection. My Ip address is 192.168.1.2. I believe it shoub be dynamic not static and if it is true how to cdit the settings to use DHCP. Your help is very appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Aerkadri

If you want your Solaris system to use DHCP, the cleanest way to do this is to run '/usr/sbin/sys-unconfig', let the system reboot, and tell it to use DHCP when it asks you to set up networking.

How to configure network settings in solaris 10

hi
i have downloaded solaris 10 and installed on dell dimension desktop,as i have gone through the instalation guide,i see i dont get netwotk configuration (DNS,DHCP.....)settings during installation,it havent asked me about those settings,It just asked the host name ..after installation i see no network connection even i have my cable connected.ethernet cable connected Its INTEL
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue

You could try the Dell site, but I doublt if they will have a driver for Solaris, Linux maybe but not Solaris. Otherwise try the DriverGuide web site. http://www.driverguide.com/
You could also try installing OpenSolaris if you don't specifically need Solaris 10. Better chance that OpenSolaris will support the NIC.
