Device on solaris 10 X86

Hello
I've seen that there are new devices for disks
c0t0d0s10
c0t0d0s11
c0t0d0s15
Could you tell me how to describe them into the VtTOC
Thanks

Solaris 8 x86 and 10 x86 differences

I have a device driver that works on Solaris 8 x86. I installed this same device driver on a box with Solaris 10 x86. Under Solaris 10 x86 I get a message "WARNING: minor name <tec
_0> is not compatible network driver name <tec>". Also, opening the device under Solaris 10 x86 will cause the OS to quit responding. Where can I find a list of differences between Solaris 8 x86 and Solaris 10 x86?
Thanks.

Another way to install Matrox G550 is to Install AcceleratedX from www.xig.com
It supports a lot of graphic card and it also supports hardware acceleration for OpenGL
BUt obviously its not free :(

Fresh install of solaris 10 x86 hangs after 'Configuring devices'

Hi All,
I just received a new SuperMicro server with an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i controller. While trying to install Solaris 10 it hangs after "Configuring devices". I checked the LSI page and Solaris 10 is supported according to them. Any ideas how to proceed?
Fairly new to Solaris on x86 hardware.
The system has a Xeon X5690 processor in an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC motherboard. The motherboard documents claim that not disabling usb 2.0 can hang an install. I have disabled the usb 2.0 in the bios but the system still hangs. Booting it with the -kd and -kv options don't give much information.
Any help is appreciated. I might be returning these machines if I can't get this worked out.
Cheers,
Steve

See if you can add the verbose option "-v" to the kernel boot options. I think you can get to the GRUB menu off the Solaris 10 install disk. That should tell you what device is causing the hang, or at least the last device that worked.
Also, can you try Solaris 11 and see if it gets past that point? A few years ago I has a similar issue with Solaris 10 on a Dell server. Solaris 11/OpenSolaris worked fine, though. IIRC I could work around the issue if I disabled the 2nd CPU - Solaris 10 had a problem bringing up the 2nd CPU on that Dell's CPU/MB config.

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

Hi.
Are You read documentation ?
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19680-01/html/821-1255/babhabac.html#z40000471052274]
Guidelines for the /globaldevices File System
Oracle Solaris Cluster software offers two choices of locations to host the global-devices namespace:
A lofi device
A dedicated file system on one of the local disks
This section describes the guidelines for using a dedicated partition. This information does not apply if you instead host the global-devices namespace on a lofi.
The /globaldevices file system is usually located on your root disk. However, if you use different storage on which to locate the global-devices file system, such as a Logical Volume Manager volume, it must not be part of a Solaris Volume Manager shared disk set or part of a VxVM disk group other than a root disk group. This file system is later mounted as a UFS cluster file system. Name this file system /globaldevices, which is the default name that is recognized by the scinstall(1M) commandSo:
>I have mounted one (1) common 2gb LUN for both the nodes, so it is creating the problem...?
It source of problem.
Every node require have it's own separate slice for globaldevice.
Shared Lun can be mounted with option global for access from both nodes at same time, but it will be second step - configure data-services.
Regards.

Solaris patching on solaris 10 x86

just wondering if anyone can assist. i have just installed solaris 10 x86 recommended patches on a 16 disks server. where first 2 disks are mirrored called rpool, and remaining 14 disks are raid z called spool. upon installing the patches successfully and rebooting server, i am coming up with the following error:
NOTICE: Can not read the pool label from '/pci@0,0/pci8086,25f8@4/pci111d,801c@0/pci111d,801c@4/pci108e,286@0/disk@0,0:a /pci@0,0/pci8086,25f8@4/pci111d,801c@0/pci111d,801c@4/pci108e,286@0/disk@1,0:a'

rebooting...
It looks like the solaris 10 os cannot find zfs filesystem and keeps on rebooting in normal solaris os mode, but when I go to safe mode and type: zfs list, I can see zfs rpool (mirrored) file system and cannot see the zfs spool (raid z) file system, any ideas on how i can fix the boot problem and get zfs spool back in the safest way possible?...

I finally figured it out. It seems that kernel patch 137138-09 was the culprit. It took me a while to test each kernel patch but I found out that if you have a mirrored volume or a virtual logical volume this will affect you. Also, after I did all this testing I finally found the sunsolve article referencing this patch. Seems you can install the patch, but you have to install 125556-01 first. Here's the article: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-66-246206-1

Solaris 10 X86 - Hardware RAID - SMC/SVM question...

I have gotten back into Sun Solaris System Administration after a five year hiatus... My skills are a little rusty and some of the tools have changed, so here is are my questions...
I have installed Solaris 10 release 1/06 on a Dell 1850 with an attached PowrVault 220v connected to a Perc 4 Di controller. The RAID is configured via BIOS interface to my liking, Solaris is installed and see's all my partitions which I created during install.
For testing purposes, the servers internal disk is used for the OS, the PowerVault is split into 2 RAID's - one is a mirror, one is a stripe...
The question is; do I manage the RAID using Sun Management Console and the tools OR do I use SMC?
When I launch SMC and go into Enhanced Storage... I do not see any RAID's... If I select "Disks" I do see them, but when I select them, it wants to run "FDISK" on them... now this is OK since they are blank but I want to ensure I am not doing sometinhg I should not be concerned with...
If the PERC controller is controlling the RAID, what do I need SMC for?

You can use SMC for other purposes but it won't help your with RAID.
Sol 10 1/06 has raidctl which handles LSI1030 and LSI1064 RAID�enabled controllers (from raidctl(1M)).
Some of the PERCs (most?) are LSI but I don't know if they are chipsets used by your PoweEdge (I doubt it).
Generally you can break it down like this for x86:
If you are using hardware RAID with Solaris 10 x86 you have to use pre-Solaris (i.e. on the RAID controller) managment or hope that the manufacturer of the device has a Solaris managment agent/interface (good luck).
The only exception to this that I know of is the RAID that comes with V20z, V40z, X4100, X4200.
Otherwise you will want to go with SVM or VxVM and manage RAID within Solaris (software RAID).
SMC etc are only going to show you stuff if SVM is involved and VxVM has its own interface, otherwise the disks are controlled by PERC and just hanging out as far as Solaris is concerned.
Hope this helps.

Solaris 10 X86 Installation Struck after Loading Grub Stage 2

Hi All,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 X86 Platform on my intel system. I downloaded the iso DVD images from Sun site.
sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-a.iso
sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd-iso-b.iso
When I boot with the Solaris DVD 1, I am getting the message "Loading Stage 2" and returned to grub> command line
This is the message I am getting in my screen
Loading Stage 2 ... ...

Can some one help me on this, I tried in Google and other sun solve support forums but didnt find anything helpfull.
Anybodys help is much appreciated..
Regards, Sundar

I'm getting the same thing with Solaris 10u8 in a VirtualBox. sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso downloaded from cds.sun.com today.
(I tried the pre-made VirtualBox image Sun provides, and it's horribly dysfunctional. So I thought I'd try a fresh installation. More fool me, apparently.)
Edit: No, it's me. The problem is that the ISO I downloaded was incomplete - it cut off at precisely 2GB! The md5sum of what I downloaded is ea5a8606894d253e286861aaf4b5c50a; the official md5sum should be 9df7fd02d82976fd3ec38a18d1a57335. I guess tomorrow I try again with part A and part B ...
So it looks like the answer is: check with md5sum that you actually have the full ISO.

Solaris 10 x86 cdrw trouble. Gnome and command line problems writing.

I'm experiencing general weirdness trying to write CD's and DVD's using a new internal DVD-RW device -- It's a Sony NEC AD 7220 A CD / DVD RW drive on a Solaris 10 x86 AMD system. I have searched far and wide for other threads of similar instances but no one has posted an issue like the one I'm having.
I have a Sony Optiarc AD 7220 A CD-RW on a x86 AMD Athalon 1.6 ghz based server with 2 GB RAM.
The DVD-RW drive gets detected by BIOS (Phoenix TrustedCore 2.3) and reads disks fine. I installed Solaris 10.08 from DVD using this DVD-RW drive.
However, trying to write to new blank media does not work properly, (effectively at all).
I've tried different brands of brands of blank CD's and CD-R and CD+R (have not tried using CD-RW disks yet). Ditto with DVD's - tried DVD-R and DVD+R's.
1. Inside the Solaris 10 GUI (Gnome, a.k.a. Java Desktop), when I put in a blank CD-R, a dialog box "Format Media...?" pops up. If I click "Ok" it formats the blank CD and closes the session, CD has been written to and is ruined.
2. I open a terminal window, as root, and put in a blank CD. "mkisofs r /home/foo 2>/dev/null | cdrw i p 1" will write a directory tree OK, but if I go back into gnome GUI and open and close the CD tray, again, up pops the "Format Media..." dialog box instead of the CD appearing on the desktop. If I restart vold (svcadm restart volfs) then open and close the CD tray, voila, the contents appear on desktop as CD icon.
3. When I try to write to a DVD-R: "cdrw -i /local/iso_image" It always fails with: Write Track 1....Failed. after a few minutes. It did in fact write part of the .iso but bails out with a failure.
I've tried various other write commands (specifying the device ID, speed, so on and so forth) and command line switch options (following the rules of course) and it seems to me to be more than a syntax / media issue. However if it is I would like to know. I did see a similar CDRW device on the HCL for OpenSolaris with a 'reported to work' rating. That was for a Optiarc AD-5200A, which is going away thus my company has chosen to use the AD 7220A in speciality racks we build and deliver to the U.S. Navy.
I really need to get a handle on this CD-RW device issue and decide if a different brand / model is what it's going to take to solve this and move on to producing and delivering these systems in working conditions.

Sony systems are often very particular about what CD's and DVD's they'll take. I have several Sony systems that I use for video work and they'll read almost anything but they'll only write to DVD RW. They also don't like cheap brand CD's and DVD's. Be sure to try both CD RW and DVD RW before doing anything else. Because of the requirement for DVD RW, they won't take fast speed (16x) DVD's, just 4x. If all of this turns out to be the case, you may want to go with a different manufacturer for the drive, DVD +RW 4x aren't always easy to find in the store.

Boot from second hard drive with ZFS in Solaris 10 x86

Hi,
The usual menu.lst to boot Solaris10 x86 with a boot environment that contains a ZFS boot loader is this one
title Solaris 10 5/08 s10x_nbu6wos_nightly X86
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
title Solaris failsafe
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)
kernel /boot/multiboot kernel/unix -s    -B console=ttyb
module /boot/x86.miniroot-safeI understand that to add an alternate boot disk, I have to play with installgrub and then attach it in the pool.
But my question is : Is there a way to boot from my alternate hard disk by adding a new entry in menu.lst or is the only
way is to modify the BIOS parameter?
Thanks for your help,
Groucho_fr

Thanks for your answer Alan,
But ok, I imagineI can add a grub entry. But what I want to know is what is the exact way to boot from an alternate hard disk on Solaris 10u6
x86.AFAIK there are only two ways to do this. Select the disks via BIOS which becomes a royal PITA in a short amount of time or play with a boot manager such as GRUB until you get the syntax right.
Personally I put all OS's on the primary disks if possible to avoid these situations and if I have others to play with then you can easily mount them in or set them up as D: drive etc...
The only exception would be in an enterprise setting where you need to do things such as mirroring but then again in those situations it's only one OS per machine anyways so it's much easier.
So at the end, I am not sure what I have to configure and what is the procedure to boot from my alternate boot diskTry the grub homepage for the grub manual and hopefully for a mailing list or try a search engine.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/zfsboot-1?a=view
has an example to follow of using -B.
And moreover, the installgrub does not working for me :
root@mac1 # zpool status

You shouldn't need to do an installgrub if you installed Solaris. Try c5t4d0s0 not s2.

Hi All,
Looks like it was a driver / incompatibility / unsupported issue since 2 other much smaller USB keys (Lexar USB Flash Drive – 32GB, SanDisk Cruzer Colors – 4GB) were successfully mounted automatically by volfs service as follows:
# df -h
Filesystem             size   used avail capacity Mounted on

It is necessary to install additional driver that came with the disk on Windows XP platform. However,

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.
Thanks in Advance

Help in compiling/linking a DEVICE DRIVER in SOLARIS10 x86

hello!
PROBLEM:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
i need assistance in compiling/linking a video capture
driver (bt848x) (http://bt848x.sourceforge.net/) for
solaris 10 x86.
the driver uses the /usr/lib/libc.a (specifically the _xtoll.o)
which, if im not mistaken, is not available in solaris 10
anymore. so how am i going to compile it?
BACKGROUND:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
the original compile/link code in the makefile is:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x -r bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o _xtoll.o
i modified it to:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o -L/usr/lib -lc
(NOTE: i removed the -r and _xtoll.o; and added
-L/usr/lib -lc)
the output was:

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to bt848x
QUESTIONS:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1.) What other libraries do i need to include so that
there would no more "symbol referencing errors" ???
2.) Is my linking code correct?
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o
sound-msp3400.o -L/usr/lib -lc
i mean, is it ok to build a driver with dynamic libraries?
or the device driver should always be statically linked?

i think i already found the answers to my questions
(i partially read SUN docs WRITING DEVICE DRIVER in
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4854 specifically
the BUILDING A DEVICE DRIVER) =)
i used:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -o bt848x -dy -r bt848-cards.o bt848-driver.o
bt848-kern.o i2c.o tuner.o sound-tda9875.o sound-msp3400.o
-L/usr/lib -lc
(NOTE: i used the flags -dy -r -L/usr/lib -lc)
so far, the TV-TUNER is working hehehehe!!
any comments/suggestions/tips from other people are still welcome!
thanks!!

Solaris 10 x86 5/08 audio driver for SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio

Hello out there, I recently installed Solaris 10 x86 5/08 on my IBM ThinkPad T60 (2007-63U) and I'm really impressed how well it is working.
The only thing I've found not working so far is the audio.
I've installed the Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0 from:
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Hardware%20Drivers&tab=3&subcat=Audio%20Devices
...but it still is not recognizing the audio device.
Everything else is working great (thank you Sun and the OpenSolaris Community!!!!!!!), so getting the audio working would be even better.
Any pointers anyone has on what to look for on the system (e.g. in /var/adm/messages) or how to configure the audio to support the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio would be greatly appreciated.

...well, I've tried building oss-v4.0-build1016-src-cddl but I haven't been able to get it to work.
In preparation for the build, I did install Sun Studio 12 (from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp ), patched it, and installed gawk-3.1.6 ( from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html ) and ran configure/make install as instructed which successfully completed.
The following is what I get when executing ossdetect:
================================================================================
rem_drv osscore
rem_drv hdaudio
rem_drv ossusb
rem_drv sadasupport
Driver (osscore) not installed.
unloaded osscommon
add_drv -m '* 0666 root sys' osscore
add_drv -m '* 0666 root sys' -i '"pci8086,27d8"' hdaudio
add_drv -m '* 0666 root sys' -i '"usbif,class1"' ossusb
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: ossusb
Warning: Driver (ossusb) successfully added to system but failed to attach
add_drv -m '* 0666 root sys' sadasupport
/dev/mixer: No such file or directory
================================================================================
To note, the Solaris 10 x86 5/08 installation I am running on is the full distribution +OEM.
I also cannot find the "soundon" or "soundoff" scripts referenced in the OSS build instructions.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
