DS license with Solaris: 5.1 vs. 5.2?

My understanding was that Solaris 9 comes with a license to use Sun ONE DS 5.1 with up to 200,000 entities (having userPassword) primarily for Naming Services, but that this license didn't extend to DS 5.2.
I'm seeing a lot of traffic about using 5.2 and less about 5.1, plus references to getting 5.2 off of the Solaris CD's. I haven't got Solaris 9 04/04 yet. But my understanding (URL's below) was that 12/03 and 04/04 still came with 5.1 for Solaris and a separate copy of 5.2 as a part of the Java Enterprise System, which has a separate licensing system.
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-3801/6mjcck32h?a=view
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-3801/6mjcck32v?a=view#whatsnew-s9fcs-45
Has this changed? Does the DS license included in Solaris now allow use of DS 5.2? Or are a lot of people buying the full JES or a separate copy of DS 5.2 when they get 5.1 for free?

Directory Server is now delivered as a component of Java Enterprise System, that's true.
You can also download 5.2 from http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/products/3ee79e69.html it seems.
Concerning the licensing, if you've had a maintenance contract starting from the first entry, then you can upgrade to 5.2, for which Sun is continuing to release patches until that version is retired. As far as I know anyway.
Hope that helps,
Mark

Sun LDAP with Solaris

Hi All,
i have very simple and short query, Is Sun Directory comes bundled with Solaris 10 ? or we need to download explicitely.
If we download that is a free version or we need to procure.
Thanks
Avninder

Hi Avninder,
No it does not come with Solaris 10, nor Solaris 10 current license gives you entitlement with support for it.
Please go and download from www.sun.com/dsee

HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10

I am having a problem to start the HTTP Server on Solaris 10 (I am installing HTTP Server as part of HTMLDB installation on Solaris 10).
I had a problem to install it at first, however I've found on 'AskTom' that unsetting ORA_NLS33 helps and it did. Now I can't start the HTTP server and I've found on metalink that 'HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10, this is targeted for Q2CY05'.
Has this been fixed yet?
Thank you for your time.

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

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

Hardware Compatibilities with Solaris 10

Plase, in the company, we have several equipments, like Sun Blade 1000, Sun Blade 2000, Sun Blade2500, Sun Ultra 80 and Sun Ultra 60, I would like to know if all of this models could work with Solaris 10. Thanks for your help.

Yes, for all of the above.

Sun DS 5.2 p3 with Solaris 10

I've been trying to test out using LDAP to replace NIS.
My setup is a Sun Sparc box with Solaris 10 running
Sun One Directory 5.2 patch level 3. I have two x86_64 client
machines; one running Red Hat 4 and the other Solaris 10.
I have been able to authenticate on the RH 4 machine
with no problems, but have been unable to on the
Solaris 10 machine. I'm using Sun's native LDAP
client tools.
I've tried configuring the DS for anonymous access
to proxy access with simple authentication, but neither
one seems to matter.
I've copied over the pam.conf example provided by Sun
today, but it still doesn't seem to work. I can do a
"getent passwd" on the RH 4 and get all the local accounts
and the test one in the LDAP server. If I try that on the
Sun box I only get the local accounts, however if I
do a "getent password testuser" on the Solaris 10 box,
then I get the right account info. It looks like I can even
see the passwords, which are stored using md5; not
crypt, if that matters.
I'm tried searching for more info, but it doesn't appear
that DS 5.2 has been used too much on Solaris 10;
nor does Gary Tay's great documentation cover
Solaris 10. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
I can't believe it would be this hard to set LDAP up
with just Sun software.

See related posts:
http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2005-August/006688.html
1) make sure /etc/nsswitch.conf has this entry in it:
ipnodes: files
2) must run these commands as root:
crle -u -s /usr/lib/mps
crle -64 -u -s /usr/lib/mps/64
Other than that I didn't need to do anything different than solaris 9.
I did have to run this command on occasion though:
svcadm enable svc:/network/ldap/client:defaulthttp://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=271&threadID=25523

Does HP Proliant DL380 G4 work with Solaris 10?

Hi everybody!!!
I�d like to know if anybody made HP Proliant DL380 G4 work with solaris 10.
I didn�t find this server in HCL for solaris 10.
has anybody tried to install solaris 10 on this server?
tnx very much
regards
The player

I've tried. The biggest stumbling block is the RAID controller if you are using one. I was using a Smart Array 5300 but couldn't find a driver. As memory serves me, and it was a year ago on a G3 with version 9, you need to use the second or third ( I forget) CD for Solaris and not the first to set it up and you need a startup diskette (my name for it, Sun calls it somethig else) with the array driver on it. It was a real pain especially when my version of Red Hat Liniux found the controller right off the bat and installed nicely with NO errors. I think Sun's clunky installation needs some work to make it work better. Maybe Solaris 10 is different.

I tested Adobe CC then bought an educational license with another ID. I cannot use Lightroom Mobile. Message "Evaluation version has expired is displayed" and information in Preferences showing the old ID, not the new one. Disappointing support from Adobe. How to get rid of the old information and solve the problem?

Thanks but it did not work. Adobe (USA, not France) solved the problem. My subscription was not correctly entered in the database, it seems.

Problems with Solaris 10 + mod_wl_20

Hello all,
I've been trying to get apache 2.0.58 that's shipped with Solaris 10 (Sparc) with mod_wl_20 from Weblogic 8.1 SP6 with not much luck.
Every time I try connect to a mapped application via Apache+weblogic_mod I keep getting 404, it seems like the plugin isn't even being invoked, as apaches logs keep saying:
File does not exist: /var/apache2/htdocs/examplesWebApp
I copied over mod_wl_20.so from WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib/solaris and put it on the solaris box with apache in the libexec directory.
My httpd.conf is basically a copy of the httpd.conf-example with the following entries:
LoadModule weblogic_module libexec/mod_wl_20.so
<Location /examplesWebApp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost 192.168.10.120
WebLogicPort 7001
Debug ON
WLLogFile /tmp/test.log
DebugConfigInfo On
</Location>
Strange thing, the /tmp/test.log file gets created, but no logging dumped there.
If I connect to the Weblogic Server host, via port 7001 the examplesWebApp works just fine.
Have I missed something? - is the version of Apache2 that comes with solaris 10 okay?
Thanks for help in advanced.
_rob

Hi haili,
Thanks for the reply, I've modified my entry in httpd.conf to
<Location /examplesWebApp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost 192.168.10.120
WebLogicPort 7001
Debug ALL
WLLogFile /tmp/weblogic.log
WLTempDir /tmp
DebugConfigInfo ON
</Location>
The log file /tmp/weblogic.log is no longer been created.
Has anyone got it to work with the standard apache 2.0.58 shipped with solaris 10?
Thanks,
_rob

Solaris 8 client setup with solaris 9 ldap

I have managed to install iplanet directory server 5.1 that comes with solaris 9 using the utility idsconfig. As far as i can tell, all went well. Now i'm trying to initialize a solaris 8 client to authenticate to the iDS 5.1 on my solaris 9 box. What do i have to do on the solaris 8 client to "initialize it"? I've tried using ldapclient on the solaris 8 client as follows:
# ldapclient -v -P default x.x.x.x
but i keep getting the following errors:
findDN rename(/var/ldap/ldap_client_file.orig, /var/ldap/ldap_client_file) failed!
findDN rename(/var/ldap/ldap_client_cred.orig, /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred) failed!
There are no files in /var/ldap. I thought that one uses ldapclient to create them. Am i wrong?
Also, the output from idsconfig says that a 'NisDomainObject' was added to my domain but looking at the object classes in iDS5.1, there is no nisdomainobject.
I also noticed that when i run the command domain on my solaris 8 box, there's no output. Do i need to set the domain on my solaris 8 client? I have the domain defined in /etc/resolv.conf.

Network connectivity on Sparc with Solaris 8

Hello friends,
I have a Sparc Ultra 5 machine with Solaris 8 .
Now I want to establish network connectivity by configuring net work card in it.also I want to establish connectivity with Intel Systems also.How can I accomplish this.
I will be grateful to you if u cud guide me in this.
Thank u in anticipation
sreerama

I think the V20z have an ordinary broadcom chipset, if so the network interface should be called bgeX.
So try:
ifconfig bge0 plumb
.. dont forget your /etc/hostname.bge0 file..

Smbmount with solaris 10

I want to mount an ntfs share.
in solaris 10 :
a) mount -F smbfs gives an error (smbfs doesn't seems to be known)
b) I didn't find the command smbmount under /usr/sfw
any idea or answer ?
Thanks

smbmount is not available with Solaris (or any OS other than Linux). I use Sharity light (free) at

Compatibility with Solaris 10

Is solaris 10 compatible with iPlanet Web Server 6.x and jdk1.5?

In general, solaris is backwards compatible.
So if it worked in any previous version of solaris, it will work with solaris 10..
And Solaris 10 ships with jdk1.5 by default.

Experience with Solaris 10 Memory Management

Dear Forum!
Using Note 724713 we installed a couple of R3 Systems on Solaris 10. Independently which R3 Version is used we observe much more memory problems as with prior solaris releases or other operating systems like AIX.
For instance1: We moved three R3 Systems from a server with solaris 8 to a server with solaris 10. We didnt change memory parameters of R3 and the databases (oracle). The solaris 10 server has the same amount of memory (8GB) like the solaris 8 server. Now, on the solaris 10 server we can only start two R3 systems, the third one doesnt start because no memory can be allocated. The memory parameter of all component slightly overload the main memory. Because the systems are not productive they mostly idle and performance loss due to paging and even swapping didnt worry us. Not even that the third system didnt start, the whole OS was a kind of freezed and no more work was possible, also not on the other two R3 systems which were already startet.
For instance2:
On another server with 16GB memory we startet an installation of a sapsystem and the sapinst crashed due to memory absence. Admittedly, here the main memory was also a bit overloaded, but this is not unusal here and I never saw sapinst crashing because of this.
In both cases Swapspace was adequate.
Do you have similar experiences? Or any tipps to solve the problem.
Thanks
Andreas
