Convert Solaris 10 physical system into zones

Hi,
I have a few 220R servers running Solaris 10 and some small applications. I plan to covert them into zones which will resident in a V890 and Run Solaris 10 too.
Anybody let me know how to do it ?
Thanks,

If they are small, self-contained applications, then you can try just installing them into fresh sparse zones and configuring them to match the original one (that is how we handle a lot of these). Depending on the app and it's dependencies, it might be as easy as tarring up the directory and untarring it onto the new system.
If they are larger, more complex apps, or apps that require a lot of customization to the app or the system (lots of dependencies), then you would have to handle that on a case-by-case basis.

  • Is it possible to "convert" an encrypted system to LVM

    From what I understand after reading this article in the wiki LVM is an underlying layer below the partitions that you usually work with. Basically a structure on the HDD on top of which you have your partitions and file systems.
    Now, before asking my – hopefully not embarrassingly stupid – question, I should probably describe my situation:
    I have two HDDs here, one of which is currently in use. Both are the same model and could be used interchangeable, they contain different data though.
    · The first one, currently in use, contains /boot and three encrypted (via dm_crypt) partitions which each contain one file system (2* ext4, 1* reiserfs)
    · The second one, currently lying around and only being mounted occasionally, contains one big ntfs partition encrypted with TrueCrypt
    I have never worked with LVM but I would like to at least broaden my knowledge with experience so I can – when I set up my next system some time – make better informed decisions. Ideally I would "convert" my current system into something that's better to use and needs less different solutions patched together than it does now.
    What I would like to have is a system with both hard drives (probably more added later) to be ready after boot with my current partitions (/boot, /, /var and /home) mounted while the second, currently only sporadically used HDD, is "integrated" in /home. And all of that (except /boot of course) should remain encrypted.
    I know that I have to format the NTFS drive and as it should be part of /home – which currently is an encrypted (via dm_crypt) ext4 partition – it probably needs to be ext4. I expect it to be problematic to have a Logical Volume spread across one dm_crypt-encrypted drive and one TrueCrypted though I am not entirely clear on whether the encryption would be on top of the LVM volumes or vice versa. Anyway I assume I have to decrypt the TrueCrypt drive and encrypt it again with dm_crypt. Unless that would be dumb and you suggest something different?
    The second drive (NTFS wrapped in TrueCrypt) can be completely wiped if necessary (most probably the easiest approach).
    Apart from "Is that possible and/or a good idea or would you suggest not to switch to LVM and do something different (integrate the second drive in my dm_crypted system maybe?)?" my question is: "How would I tackle this problem; what would be the starting point and how could I make sure I don't accidentally erase all the data on /boot, /, /var and /home as I would like to keep my current system?"
    I hope it's somehow understandable what I'm trying to do, if not please do ask.

    I get the impression you want to do this without backing up your data - if that is the case, you are certifiably crazy and should seek help immediately.
    Bet let's assume you're not crazy, and have backed up everything. The next step is to go to the LVM section of the wiki's LUKS page, and implement one of the solutions there.

  • Convert Solaris 10 Zones into a Logical Domain

    I am in the process of building a Solaris 10 server on a T3-2 server. I am installing the 8/11 update of Solaris 10 and will be installing OVM for SPARC v2.2 on the server to migrate our older physical servers to Logical Domains. Currently we are running a number of Solaris Zones on Solaris 10 servers. Instead of creating a Logical Domain for each of the physical servers with zones on them, I want to convert each of the zones into a logical domain. The zones are running on SunFire V890s and SunFire V440 servers. They are running the 10/09 update of Solaris 10 that has been patched to the latest kernel level, 147440-15. Can anyone guide me in an appropriate procedure to build the logical domains? Thanks.

    may be better to move zone into s10 zone inside s11 ldom

  • Want to read out put from Solaris System into Oracle Form

    Hi all
    I want some code of trigger which on fire get output from Solaris system into Windows i.e When I press push button window base system sent "df -kh" command to "\\172.16.3.16" and display output into text box.
    BR//

    When I press push button window base system sent "df -kh" command to " 172.16.3.16" and display output into text box.This can be accomplished by using a Host call to run the system command. You will need to output the results of the system command to a file and then read contents of the file into your form. The HOST built-in has a limitation, however. The HOST built-in can only execute commands on the Application Server (AS), so hopefully, the "Solaris" system you mentioned is your AS. Once the HOST call completes and the output file is created, you can read the contents of the file using the TEXT_IO built-in.
    Hope this helps,

  • P2V Solaris 10 flar to zone

    Hi,
    Ive taken a flash archive of a physical Solaris 10 server which ive copied over to a new Sun T3. For testiing purposes I want to create a new zone using the Flar I created on the physical server but am running in problems.
    I followed the procedure on http://dbaspot.com/solaris/394244-solaris-10-zone-flar.html but when I verify the zone I keep receiving a message saying the branded zone cannot be found. Ive checked (and double checked) everything and things seem fine.
    My question is has anyone else had any issues with this process and if so what was the resolution and is there a better way of creating a Solaris 10 zone from a Flar of a physical Solaris 10 server?? If things don't work as planned usiing the dbaspot method Ive also taken a ufsdump of / and /var which I plan to restore to the zone when it's installed so if anyone has any experience of doing that???
    Thanks...

    There might be ( and probably are ) a few 'backdoor' tricks which will get it to work, but from what I understand there is no supported way to build a Solaris 10 zone, from a flar, ... onto a Solaris 10 host.
    Now "Solaris 11" ... that is another matter.
    From the Solaris 11 web site -
    " Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11 introduces the ability to run Oracle Solaris 10 environments
    inside a Solaris 10 Container running on top of Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11. For users already
    running their applications either in zones or on bare metal on Oracle Solaris 10 systems, virtual-tovirtual
    (v2v) and physical-to-virtual (p2v) tools are provided to help this transition over to an Oracle
    Solaris 10 Container. An Oracle Solaris 10 Container can have a shared IP stack with the global
    zone, or an exclusive IP stack. Oracle Solaris 10 Zones provide a proven, tested and fully supported
    option for quick adoption of Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11 allowing administrators to benefit
    immediately from all the new features available while providing an easy application migration path. "

  • Solaris File System/Device Management Information

    Hi All,
    I a writing a paper about the Solaris operating system and require information about the file system and device management of Solaris 8.
    File Management:
    I am looking for information or links to sites that would help me find more information about the solaris file system architecture, how it uses drive space, and some of the features of the Solaris file system
    Device Management:
    I am also looking for information or website links that cover how Solaris talks to devices (overview) and other device management architecture information.
    any help is appreciated!

    Don't use cp because it converts soft links into hard files. Its even worse when you have cyclic soft links. Use tar or cpio and you should be ok.
    i.e. If you have a soft link to a file of 10G, a cp will result in 20G.

  • Converting a Labview time into a string with Measurement Studio C++

    In my Measurement Studio-based C++ application, I'll be sent a Labview
    time in the format of a double, which I believe is seconds since 1904.
    Does Measurement Studio for Visual C++ contain a function that will
    convert that time value into a string format? I'd like to end up with
    something like "hh:mm:ss:msec". I'm basically looking for the
    equivalent of the Labview vi, "Format Time/Date String". If Measurement
    Studio doesn't provide this, is there some other (hopefully simple) way
    to do this?
    I can request that the Labview application send me time in a string
    format as well as a double; this will require several changes to the
    Labview application sending the timestamp, but if that is a simpler
    solution that's the option we'll take.
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

    Measurement Studio does not have a function for this, but you can do
    this yourself by first converting from LV epoch (1/1/1904) to Unix
    epoch(1/1/1970) and then using c runtime time functions
    UNIXEpochOffset is the difference between the 2 epochs at GMT. To
    convert to a UNIX system clock value, just subtract the sum of this
    number and your time zone offset in seconds
    lvTime is the value returned by LV timestamp
    #define  UNIXEpochOffset 2082844800
    int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
        __int64 lvTime = 3214396284; //10:48:13.173 AM 11/9/2005
        //GMT offset for Central Time is -6 (3600 seconds). You will need to account for daylight savings time.
        int offset = -3600;
        time_t unixTime = lvTime - UNIXEpochOffset - offset;  
        struct tm *newtime = localtime(&unixTime);
        printf(asctime( newtime )); //prints out the time in a string format.
        return 0;

  • Loading multiple physical records into a logical record

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread.
    I have to import data from a fixed length positioned text file into a oracle table using sql loader.
    My sample input file (which has 3 columns) looks like:
    Col1 Col2 Col3
    1 A abcdefgh
    1 A ijklmnop
    1 A pqrstuv
    1 B abcdefgh
    1 B ijklmn
    2 A abcdefgh
    3 C hello
    3 C world
    The above text file should be loaded into the table as:
    Col1 Col2 Col3
    1 A abcdefghijklmnpqrstuv
    1 B abcdefghijklmn
    2 A abcdefgh
    3 C helloworld
    My question: Is there a way tht i can use the logic of loading multiple physical records into a logical record in my oracle tables. Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance.

    Kulash,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The order of the concatenated strings is important as the whole text is split into several physical records in the flat file and has to be combined into 1 record in Oracle table.
    My scenario is we get these fixed length input files from mainframes on a daily basis and this data needs to be loaded into a oracle table for reporting purpose. It needs to be automated.
    Am still confused whether to use external table or a staging table using sql loader. Please advise with more clarity as am a beginner in sql loader. Thanks.I still think an external table would be better.
    You can create the external table like this:
    CREATE TABLE     fubar_external
    (      col1     NUMBER (2)
    ,      col2     VARCHAR2 (2)
    ,      col3     VARCHAR2 (50)
    ORGANIZATION  EXTERNAL
    (       TYPE             ORACLE_LOADER
         DEFAULT DIRECTORY  XYZ_DIR
         ACCESS PARAMETERS  (
                                 RECORDS DELIMITED BY     NEWLINE
                          FIELDS  (   col1        POSITION (1:2)
                                      ,   col2        POSITION (3:4)
                               ,   col3        POSITION (5:54)
         LOCATION        ('fubar.txt')
    );where XYZ_DIR is the Oracle Directory on the database server's file system, and fubar.txt is the name of the file on that directory. Every day, when you get new data, just overwrite fubar.txt. Whenever you query the table, Oracle will read the file that's currently on that directory. You don't have to drop and re-create the table every day.
    Note that the way you specify the columns is similar to how you do it in SQL*Loader, but the SEQUENCE generator doesn't work in external files; use ROWNUM instead.
    Do you need to populate a table with the concatenated col3's, or do you just need to display them in a query?
    Either way, you can reference the external table the same way you would reference a regular, internal table.

  • XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know can we use XSLT Mapping to convert u201C.CSVu201D file into XML Structure.
    I am communicating between two XI Systems. First XI system is going to give u201C.CSVu201D file as main document. I need to post IDOC Corresponding to this. So what I want to do is read this u201C.CSVu201D file (Main document in payload) and first convet it into XML and then use second mapping which will convert XML to IDOC.
    I know this is possible with JAVA Mapping but just wanted to confirm can we do this with XSLT mapping as well?

  • BI 7.0,  BDLS is not converting all logical systems for datasources

    Hello all,
    We have refreshed an ECC system, and during the post steps in BI, we were running into issues.
    We've ran BDLS to convert the logical system from ECCCLNTXXX to ECCCLNTYYY, but it's was not converting for several datasources.
    One in particular was causing several problems, and terminating the conversion.
    0FC_CI_01.  It is still hanging on to the old logical system.  BDLS terminates with the following information:
    Short text:
    Active version of emulated 3.x DataSource 0FC_CI_01 cannot...
    Basically, the exact symptom of Note 936644.
    Eventually, through a series of trials, we discovered we could assign non-active sourcesystem/logical system combinations to the objects.  As a result, we deleted the source systems entirely, ran BDLS to the ECCCLNTYYY, then recreated the sources.
    This finally worked.  What I need now is a root cause.  Why would BI refuse to change the logical system of an object to an active one, but have no problem with an inactive?

    Mike,
    After running BDLS, you need to replicate the source system in BW, change the contents of the target host and fields for all R/3 and Data Mart(note 184754). Update the target BW system name in table T000 using SM30. Change logical system name in all BW tables using BDLS (note 325525)
    Refer to the below doc for detail. Also refer to note 886102.

    We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
    There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
    give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
    controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
    You could look for an application that gives control of font for
    printing.
    You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
    could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
    Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
    size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
    Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
    to this.
