Documentation for solaris 8 10/01

I downloaded solaris 8 10/01 for sparc and install it on a sparc station 5
however when launching Answer book 2 I get a message indicating that it is not installed.
I downloaded 4 CD: installation, software 1, software 2 and langage.
the installation works correctly
some one told me that there is a documentation CD.
What to do, from where can I download it

Pay the $75 for the whole Solaris 8/Sparc media kit:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html
Or just buy the Answer Book CDs (Developer and SysAdmin) for $50:
http://store.sun.com/catalog/doc/BrowsePage.jhtml?cid=56769&parentId=56766
Either way, you'll have to pay Uncle Scott.

Looking for an Introduction documentation for SOLARIS administration

I'm beginner in SOLARIS environment. I�m looking for an overview documentation for SOLARIS administration as like as IBM AIX Redbooks. For example, the "Certification Study Guide" for IBM pSeries is an excellent introduction to AIX environment (485 pages in pdf format). I'm looking for something like that. Do you have an idea?

I found the following book to be more than helpful. If you're willing to spend the dough I can guarantee that it's more than worth it!

Documentation for Solaris 10 Migration?

Hey Folks,
Where is there documentation on the web on migrating to Solaris 10?
Thanks,

64-bit WLS 11G for Solaris?

I can not locate the 64-bit version of WLS 11G for Solaris. When I go to the download page all I see are 32-bit versions (at least they look like 32-bit version as denoted by the filenames such as wls1031_solaris32.bin).
I have attempted to go through the e-delivery site but do not want to download a 21 part 11Gig file if it is not the correct one.
I would appreciate any help at all.

I am pretty confident that you need the 64 bit JVM for your platform, then you need to use the generic installer, this is based on how it has been done in prior releases.
So you can find the available JVM's for your platform here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/oracle%20fusion%20middleware%2011gr1%20(11%201%201%201%200)%20certification%20matrix.xls
In this case that would be Sun JVM 1.6.0_11+
OR
JRockit 6 Update 5 R27.6.2+
Then you should be able to run the generic installer here with that downloaded supported JDK:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
I was not able to find anything specific on the documentation pages that described this process in detail, but you can always open a support case to get some assistance. I will check with the documentation team to see if that is going to be documented or already is.
If you look at the 10gR3 releases, it shows how the generic installer is used, for example:

Kernel patch update for solaris 10 x86

I have Solaris 10 06/06 installed on x86 machine which is using svm and clustered with another node. The kernel revision is 118855-19 from the uname -a output. I am looking for the kernel patch updation and I heard 118855-36 is the latest one. Shall I go ahead with this patch and what r the dependency patches for this.
If anyone done this please suggest and guide me..

For Solaris 10 x86 the latest offered with smpatch is 125101-07 and yes it may be recommended to patch. Then again you said clustered with sun cluster? You may want to check the documentation and if your machines aren't facing the internet you may wait for 7/07 to hit the street and do an upgrade.

HBA support for solaris 10

Hi All
I need to know which HBA card will support solaris 10.we have sunfire 1280 server, brocade silkworm 12000 and hitachi 9980
Regards
RPS

I would beg to differ on this response. This is not a service call and the storage vendor is not responsible for making decisions on what the customer is allowed or not allowed to use.
EG, I have a Sun StorEdge 9990 (actually a HDS USP 1100 and not the 9990 Lightning series which is on the web site) and I made the call to put the Fibre Channel HBA's of my choice into my systems and I also chose the Cisco 9509 switches. Both HDS and Cisco put out documentation regarding compatibility of the HBA's.
So, I would suggest RPS check out the Brocade website or sales people and ask them if they recommend anything.
http://www.brocade.com/products/pdf/Fabric_Aware_Compatibility_Matrix-060521.pdf
states that the option X6768A is supported for Solaris 10.
Sun 9980 will work on most of the HBA's available in the system handbook.
The could be either the rebadged Qlobic or JNI HBA's. You could even use Emulux if you are that way inclined.
My systems are full of dual channel HBA's such as SG-XPCI2FC-QF2.
You should also be aware that the 1280 has only one 66 MHz PCI slot. You can upgrade the I/O boat to all 66 MHz slots if you are after good throughput. The upgrade will also give the opportunity to use the 4 Gb HBA if you can find a system to use them on.

Where can I download JRockit 6.0 (R27.6.0-50) JDK (64-bit) (for solaris)

Where can I download JRockit 6.0 (R27.6.0-50) JDK (64-bit) (for solaris) ?
This page indicates 27.6.5 - but that's not what all the products are certified with.

Thanks Henrik. My question is for the same customer that Alex K. was asking about.
The customer has pointed out that 6.5 != 6.0 , so according to the wording in the documentation, the "all later releases of 6.0" would not apply to 6.5 releases. So the customer would need a precise statement from JRockit product management stating that 6.5 releases are indeed to be included wherever there is a reference to "all later releases of 6.0".
I did spend some time yesterday in MetaLink. Search Knowledge base -> Oracle JRockit for download gives 38 hits. I did find older versions of WebLogic Server in 763603.1, but nothing for JRockit. If there is another DocId with the JRockit downloads, what is it? Will I find JRockit 64 bit for Solaris 27.6.0 bundled in the WebLogic Server downloads? Guessing from the size of the downloads for Solaris 64bit (they are hundreds of MB smaller than other downloads) - it seems possible that the JVM is not included (I do not have a Solaris machine to install and check). Previously I had assumed the JVM was included, but then the customer wouldn't be asking where they can download from (unless they never bother to look what they installed).

After installed language for solaris, how to use it in Netscape

After installed languages for solaris,
How can I see them in Netscape:
View/Character set/...
Do i need to modify some files?
Thanks
Joanna

Hi,
Not certain what your external system is, but it may be worthwhile to go through the QM-IDI documentation to see if that meets your requirements
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/26/b43927506511d182c20000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Alternately, take a look at BAPI_INSPOPER_GETDETAIL to determine how the lot expects to receive results, and BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS to set the results accordingly

SUNWdsvh & SUNWdsvhx for Solaris 8 only?

Hi All -
I am installing Solaris packaged version of DS 5.2P4 via the JES method on a Sol10 server. I notice the JES4 will install the packages SUNWdsvh & SUNWdsvhx, however the documentation http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6697-10/install.html#23713 mentions this are only for Sol8 installations. I know the documentation above was created prior to DS 5.2 support on Sol10 - but the majority of the documentation is not updated for each release.
Are these packages only for Solaris 8 as the documentation mentions? If so - why would JES4 which knows the installation is taking place on a Sol10 host - install them?
Any ideas?
Thanks all

The short answer is generally no.
The long answer is that it can be done but you will need to make sure that on the Solaris 10 machine you only use functions/headers/libraries that are available on Solaris 8 otherwise they will not be found and the software won't work.

SSM ODBO Connection - for Solaris

I am working at a site that has Business Objects 3.1 running on Solaris. Has anyone been able to configure the ODBO connection to work on a similar environment? The documentation states the prerequisites are Business Objects 4.0 on a windows server.

It is a management decision, at the moment patching for Solaris 9 and older is free while for Solaris 10 with Sun Update Connection the customer must have a service contract to be able to download all patches and management does currently not want to change that..

Creating Disk Image for Solaris 8 Admin Pack

Hi,
When I download the zip files "Software CD Image" for Solaris 8 Admin Pack / Solstice AdminSuite 3.0 and "Documentation CD Image", I get a zip file containing the contents of an installation disk (ie files and directories) rather than ISO files for creating a disk.
lf I then burn these to a CD (in either UDF or 9660 format) and try to install, it fails for various reasons, not least of which is the fact that the top level installation file does not have X permission. I know that I could copy these files to the Sun, change permission and run from there, but for various reasons I also need to be able to install from CD.
Does anyone know either how to create a CD with the correct format / file permissions / etc, or alternatively where the correct ISO's can be retrieved?
Thanks in advance.

Partition before installing, then try it. Alternatively, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to put a bootable backup/clone onto the partition. That gives you something that you can immediately verify. A disk image requires restoring before you can be assured that it's viable. I've beta-tested Panther through Snow Leopard and have never made a disk image, only clones. Finally, creating the disk image takes much more time to create than does the clone. Just my 2¢. BTW, the image is useless unless you can successfully restore it. I have no idea why it's not working for you.

Is there native file system for solaris cluster?

As GFS for RedHat Linux and GPFS for AIX, is there any native file system for solaris cluster? Thanks for any infomation!

What do you mean by 'native'?
Oracle Solaris Cluster has a feature called the Global File System (or sometimes the Proxy File System). It allows UFS or Symantec VxFS to be mounted globally (on all cluster nodes simultaneously) in read/write mode. There is also a shared QFS option. All these are described in the documentation and in the book "Oracle Solaris Cluster Essentials".
