Dell 2650 / Solaris 10 Intel (should I open a bug)?

Hi.. am just wondering about a Dell 2650 I have, running Solaris 10 11/04.
The system is, as usual, equipped with dual Broadcom NetXTreme gigabit ethernet ports. I tweaked /etc/driver_aliases to recognize the onboard adapters and the "bge" driver lit them up, giving me "bge0" and "bge1" interfaces.
That said, there is little tidbit in dmesg:
Dec 30 22:35:43 trans1 bge: [ID 801725 kern.warning] WARNING: bge1: 5701-based subsystem 'pci1028,0121' not supported
While I'm not actually -using- bge1 (the system is networked via bge0), I'm concerned that bge is specifically announcing that the 5701 (which is what is used on the 2650) is not supported... even though bge0 is up and running.
I wouldn't have even mentioned it as an issue, but this system pretty much "froze" earlier today (all existing connections at the time of freeze seemed to work, but all new connection attempts to the server would just hang, regardless of what port you were attempting to connect to) and am just going through all the logs to see what could have caused the problem.
That said, this is the only error in the logs. :(
For the record, this is the entry I added to driver_aliases:
bge "pci14e4,1645.1028.121"
Any ideas from the community?
Should I open a bug? Will the 5701 be supported by bge in SX release, or should I download the drivers from Broadcom and use them? Seems silly to have to go that route....
Sun? :)

OK...
After a few days of testing I'm thinking that the problem isn't actually in the BGE driver (though am still curious about the "not supported" issue), but in the cadp160 driver instead.
Today, the system literally "hung" for about 5 minutes. Network activity was still running, and the java processes we already had running that -didn't- require disk access were serving a-ok.
Anything that needed disk access, on the other hand, was stalled.
Eventually, it started appearing in bursts, and then finally started working again.
There are -no- entries in any log to indicate there was any issue (scsi timeouts messages, etc).
Anyone?

Solaris Intel to Solaris SunSparc Portability

Hi. Is anyone out there aware of any code portability issues for
a software application that is written on Solaris Intel and subsequently
deployed on a Solaris Sun Sparc workstation ?
Does the code need to be tuned ?
If needed, what is the effort required ?
Thanks.
Aran

The source code is the same for both versions of Solaris. As long as
your code doesn't make any ISA or endian assumptions, your port
should be nothing more than a recompile.

OAS installtion on Solaris intel based

Dear all,
I have to do a installation of OAS on Solaris Intel machine.. Sunfire 440. I can only find the below installation guide on oracle.com. I can find only for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit) and not intel .. can anyone guide me with this ?

You should follow the doc that you found for solaris, the thing is that the patches and fixes for this that you would found are for the PARISC server, if you can get the same patches and fixes for your intel server, use them and if you can't start the installation process, try to run installer like runInstaller.sh -ignoresysprereqs.
Greetings.

64-bit compilation problem on Solaris/Intel: 7th argument not initialized

I have a problem when compiling a program on a 64-bit Solaris Intel server. The problem is that when calling a function, if the 7th or next arguments are long arguments and I pass uncasted small integers values to it, the first 32-bit of my values are uninitialized.
I have isolated the problem in the following source code.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>
void fnc1(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)
long a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h;
printf("%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld\n", a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h);
void main()
fnc1(0x10101010deadbeef,0x20202020deadbeef,
     0x30303030deadbeef,0x40404040deadbeef,
     0x50505050deadbeef,0x60606060deadbeef,
     0x70707070deadbeef,0x80808080deadbeef);
fnc1(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
}I compile it using the following command:
cc src1.c -g $* -m64 -o prog1.exeWhen I run the resulting .exe, I get the following result:
1157442768875667183,2314885534015405807,3472328299155144431,4629771064294883055,5787213829434621679,6944656594574360303,8102099359714098927,-9187201948855714065
1,2,3,4,5,6,8102099355978170375,-9187201952591642616The problem is that the first 32 bits of my 7th and 8th arguments are not initialized when the function is called.
I know that in the following cases, I do not have the problem:
- if I cast the arguments;
- on other platforms (AIX, SunOs/Sparc, HPUX) or if I compile in 32-bit;
- if I use optimization (-xO1 to -xO5) ;
- if I prototype my function at the beginning of my source (void fnc1(long a,long b,long c,long d,long e,long f,long g,long h););
I have over 1,000,000 lines of existing code to support. I am afraid using optimization would have other impacts and for now, I cast the arguments as problems are reported. Would there be a better way to handle this? By using a compiler switch?
Thanks in advance.

Alas this is very difficult to ensure, particularly given the lack of a run-time type checking mechanism.In theory, proper use of the ellipsis function would be documented, and programmers would read and follow the documentation. In practice, some programmers don't read the instructions, or forget them, or someone ill-advisedly changes the way the function works so that existing calls stop working. Variable-argument functions are a fragile mechanism. (I program almost exclusively in C++, which has combinations of features such that variable-argument functions are rarely, if ever, needed.)
Can one even assume that the value of the NULL macro is correct? Never, because the C standard allows a variety of definitions for NULL, and implementations vary. Passing NULL to an ellipsis is a recipe for failure. Don't do it.

Suppose you have function FI with an ellipsis that expects to get int arguments, and another FL that expects to get long arguments. When you port the code to a 64-bit environment, function FL fails. If you use the -signext option, function FI will fail.Ah, but for us FL never fails, since the compilers always widen the arguments. I fail to see the circumstance in which widening would cause FI to fail, could you please give a more specific example?
void FI(int count, ...)
    va_list va;
    va_start(va, count);
    int t;
    while( --count >= 0) {
       t = va_arg(va, int);
       do_something(t);
}Function FI expects to extract 32-bit int arguments. If compiled with -signext, the calling function will pass 64-bit arguments. Perhaps the -signext option also causes the 32-bit extraction to be changed to a 64-bit extraction. I have no personal experience with the option, and I'm not in a position where I can experiment right now.

Thanks Bhrigu.
I have checked this site and i also downloaded the version 8.1.7 for solaris. when i try to run the ./runInstaller file it gives me a error as "Syntax error on line number 1" and returns back to $prompt. I was told that this is the version only for Sun Sparc Solaris. There is no 8i version for Solaris 8 on intel platform.
Is that right ??.. or do U have some more information on that. probably anybody has tried that or so ??..
Thanks

Who knows - Has Oracle plan to make 9i on Solaris Intel x86 in the future?

Now Sun continue support of Solaris Intel, But Oracle release only 8.1.7 exist.
Any comments,please

Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.1
SymptomsWhile installing Oracle10gR2 on a Solaris 10 x86-64 server, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) reports the following errors while checking the kernel parameters:
shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295 found no entry . Failed <<
shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 found no entry . Failed <<
shmsys:shminfo_semmni=100 found no entry . Failed <<
shmsys:shminfo_semmsl=256 found no entry . Failed <<
The overall results of this check is Failed.
The kernel parameters do not meet the minimum requirements
CauseOUI is looking at /etc/system to check the kernel parameter settings, but this file is not used (by default) in Solaris 10
OUI should check the kernel parameter settings using the resource control utility ( /bin/prctl )
SolutionTo implement the solution, please execute one the following steps:
1. Verify that the kernel parameter settings are correct using the resource control utility ( /bin/prctl ) and then start OUI like this:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
OR
2. Include the recommended kernel parameter settings in the /etc/system file and start OUI as normal:

Dell Laptop Solaris Installation

Hi
I have Dell Inspiron 8100 with P-III, 256 MB RAM.
I would like to install Solaris(Intel) 8 10/01on this.
When I run installation, after device check it gives an error: epb0: M II link not found. and when it asking to enter laguage option, it won't accept character or will accept some wrong characters instead of 1 (For English). I tried with another keyboard also.
Also I want to know what are the major problem I can faced particularly damaging PCMCIA card or TFT screen.

I am running into the same problem with my Solaris x86 installation. For some reason it is not recognizing my keyboard input once it gets to the language selection menu. I was wondering if you had received a workaround as of yet?

Porting PCI board from Solaris Intel to Sparc

Our own PCI board which has been working on Solaris(8) Intel for years does not seem to be recognized by Solaris(8) for Sparc. At the prom level a show-devs shows the device ie: pci1234,5678 but booting with 'boot -rswv' does not. Two questions:
1. Is the process of scanning hardward and making entries in the /devices directory documented anywhere that I might access?
2. What might be different between Solaris-Intel and Solaris-Sparc when dealing with PCI devices?
The platform for our testing is an AXE-300 3 slot PCI Ultra Sparc.
Thanks in advance
[email protected]
(781)-482-1215

The 'prtconf -pv' command does show the presence of our board
pretty much matching what is displayed when running prtconf on
the Intel system with the exception that the Intel results under the
'compatible:' header shows a series of 32 bit hex values while the
Sparc output for 'compatible:' shows "'pci1234,5678' +
'pciclass,ff0000'".
Furthermore running:
truss -f -a add_drv -v -m '* 0666 root bin' -i '"pci1234,5678"' pixgen
seems to show the point of failure occurring in 'devfsadm -v -i pixgen'
as follows: (note I've cleaned up the output a bit for readability).
open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 5
ioctl(5, 0xDF81, 0xFFBEF8F8) Err#6 ENXIO
close(5)
devfsadm then returns an exit code=11 and reports that the driver
was 'successfully added ... but failed to attach'.
I added a number of trace statements to each entry point in the
driver using the cmn_err function and compiled for Intel and Sparc
and verified that the driver continued to work on Intel and indeed
showed each routine being entered but I never got even one line
of output on the Sparc. That presents a couple of questions.
1. I'm using an old compiler: Sun's CC workshop Compiler 4.2 30
Oct 1996 on both platforms. The Sparc platform is a sun4m (ss-10).
Is it possible that this old compiler is not generating proper code for
the sun4u platform? The compiler and linker switches are:
cc -xstrconst -DKERNEL -DDEBUG -DPIXGENDEBUG=255 -c driver.c
ld -r -m -o pixgen driver.o
pkgadd installs the driver as /usr/kernel/drv/pixgen
2. The driver installation using pkgadd places the following line in
/etc/devlink.tab: 'type=io;minor=pixgen0 pixgen'. Is this
possibly an issue?
Any help/insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks

A/R Invoice should be open while partial payment

I am having a problem in incoming payment.
1. Firstly i made one A/R Invoice of Rs. 10000.
2. Then in incoming payment by using payment means i had made the partial payment of Rs 4000.
According to logic A/R Invoice should remain Open, but its not happening the status of A/R Invoice is getting closed.
Please solve my problem how i make A/R Invoice Open in this situation.
Thanks-
Nitu

Hi Nitu Singh,
I had the same problem with the same version that you used (8.81 PL07) and I know the right process of before and after versions of it, is to enter the partial amount in line of the selected invoice on the screen of the payment document.
I do not know why SAP has changed the process in this. is this a bug version or there is another way/process to do this for this version.
Please show me how you rectified the situation for your customer.
Thank you for your reply

In camera raw how large should I open my raw file before converting it to a TIF file?

in camera raw how large should I open my raw file before converting it to a TIF file---2736 x 3648 (10.0 MP), 3072x4096 (12.7 MP) or 3840x5120? (19.7 MP). I want a sharp TIF file. I'm shooting with an Olympus E-510, 10.0 MP camera?

There is no advantage to saving or opening other than at the native resolution.
Actually, not entirely true. In the case of Fuji DSLR's you would do better to double the rez in Camera Raw as that matches the interpolation that the Fuji software does in their higher quoted "effective resolutions"(it ain't real resolution mind you but it can benefit certain image types).
If you know for an absolute fact you need more resolution than the native file has, you really might want to test upsampling in Camera Raw as it has a newly tuned upsample (put in in ACR 5.2) that is an adaptive Bicubic algorithm that is either the normal Bicubic or Bicubic Smoother depending on the size–and that's something even Photoshop can't do.
But in general unless you know for a fact you need the image bigger (or have a Fuji camera) processing at the file's native size is the most efficient.

Call http url in Abap - Should not open Browser

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement where i need to check whether a perticular http service is running or not. For that i need a some code to call http url from abap and it should not open the browser. If that perticular url is not found or time out then i should know that in program...
Is there any way to do that..

just run the following url (after changing the values for host,etc) from browser
http://<abaphost>.<domain>.com:<port>/sap/public/ping
to get the values for http://<abaphost>.<domain>.com:<port> just go to transaction se80 and choose bsp application option and choose any existing bsp application and then doubl click on a page. on the right side click on the attributes tab and at the end you can find the url

When i click on links in other programs, where the link should automaticly open in firefox, nothing happens. Firefox is my primary.

Example:
software for games, where developers post headlines for news. Those are actualy hyperlinks, and should automaticly open in firefox, when customer clicks on the headline. When i click on a headline, nothing happens. They just stopped working a while ago, which is pretty frustrating. Firefox is my primary web browser.
Please help, becouse I've searched and never found a solution for this issue.
Looking forward to your answer, thank you for reading this!

This is a known bug, and has been for years. It occurs when Firefox is your default browser and some glitch (or program) changes that default. Thankfully, there's a fairly easy fix, though it does involve monkeying around in the Registry.
(Note: These instructions apply to Windows Vista and 7 only.)
1. Click Start, type regedit, and then press Enter.
2. Navigate to the following entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec
3. In the center pane, double-click the Default entry, then remove whatever value is there (it'll probably be a weird string of numbers and commas).
4. Click OK, then exit Regedit.
5. If Outlook and/or Firefox are open, close them, then restart them.
this information was found at[[ http://www.pcworld.com/article/200103/fix_outlook_general_failure_error_for_email_links.html]]
I am using windows 7 pro this issue has drove me crazy for some time, now finally it's fixed by doing the exact same steps as above, hope this works for everybody that is having this problem. I just had to share this with my fellow firefox users. :)

Solaris intel (x86) DCA not saving when rebooted.

I'm working with a Panasonic CF-71 toughbook laptop. I have loaded the 2.6 Solaris intel OS and the Xig PCMCIA patch. I have been successful in getting a 3Com 3C589D card to work, but only if I enter into DCA at boot time and delete the PnP ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3 and then add a ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3. Unfortunately this must be done every time the system is rebooted. Does any one know of a way to do this delete/add using the /etc/system file? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi
I have download Solaris 9 x86 and Cd1 at boot time gives the same error as you mentioned. I am using my Toshiba Satellite A60. I have check the HDL list and its not listed there. Does it mean I can not install Solaris 9 x86 on this box. When I boot I get the same error which is mentioned above.
For more information I never installed Solaris in past and have no idea which Disk space /partition to be created it talks about in Install Guide.
Can some please clarify and do let me know where am I going wrong and how to fix it.
