Experience with Solaris 10 and 11 on Oracle VM 3.0.3?

Greetings,
We are trying to confirm with "first hand experience" how/if Oracle VM 3.0.3 supports Solaris 10 and 11 x86. For example, a) does OVM support Solaris as advertised? b) if yes, are there caveats excluding the HVM limitations? c) have you been able to use the Solaris Templates?
Thank you,
Roddy

I ran into the same problem. Tried manually create software raid using the shell (ctrl F2 or F4), but it keeps shutting down the software raid and anaconda would die.
Then I tried to use single disk but with logical volume (also set up manually from the shell). But after the installation, the system would not boot. Looking at the init script content in the initrd, I don't think it supports lvm.
So I went back to square one, using the one disk with no lvm, but customized partition size. Will use raidder to build a raid 1 after this.
Base on this experience installing the server, and also the VM Manager, I think Oracle VM is seriously going downhill. I can't believe how they would hire anyone that writes such poor quality installation scripts and package. Try mounting the VM Manager ISO under /tmp/mnt and install from there and you will see what I mean.

  • MY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH CHAT AND VISION

    In my personal e-mail I received publicity inviting me to purchase a Skype credit gift card. I thought it was a nice offer and I happened to have a friend that had the need and could use such a gift. I procedeed to purchase a $10 dollar gift card, I did the transaction from Colombia and sent it to my friend in the US. Shortly after the purchase I received a message warning me that my order was being under security scrutiny. I found it unexpected and unjustified (Is my $10 dollar order a security risk of some sort?), but I thought that maybe it was because it was an international order, and I understand the need for security in online transactions, so I decided to not worry, trusting in the spotless service that I have had from Skype up to that point. At that moment I noticed that the one providing the service was no Skype but Chat And Vision (whose website, by the way, looks far less friendly than Skype's).
    Then I received an Email telling me that the order has been rejected. No justification, no explanation. Just a politely worded but most unhelpful and uninformative e-mail.  It made a point of telling me that they didn't retain the payment, yet my card was charged and no refund has been made so far. I replied the e-mail asking for a reason, and how to get a refund. I received the automated reply telling me that somebody would contact me the next day. It's been a day and no reply so far.
    Searching online I found mine was only one in a long list of blunders and poor service from Chat And Vision. The complains on forums and online outnumber the claims of good service. Mine is a very small case compared to other complains I have read about. It was a small purchase for a smal amount, but it turned into an unexpectedly unpleasant experience for something that should have been a simple purchase ( Am I really such a security risk that I can't be allowed to place an order for a gift card?)
    In the end I feel that I was snared into a trap with that offer. I trusted, I paid, didn't receive the goods, haven't yet received the refund, my friend really needed that gift and had to do without, which caused him inconvenience, my high regard from Skype has been tarnished, and I'll hesitate to make new purchases of Skype services in the future, if they keep being powered by Chat And Vision.

    Some updates: I received two e-mails from Chat And Vision, regarding my two questions as to why my order was rejected and how to get my money back. These are the answers:
    The first one (Ticket ID: PBF-650-80186), says: "Thank you for your email. Firstly, apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused to you. Unfortunately, due to security reasons I am unable to divulge this information. However, should you wish to make another purchase with us again, we will try to process your new order instead".
    Polite but uninformative. Notice that beyond an unfocused general apology it does not acknowledge any problem nor does pledge any improvement, just a vague statement that they may allow me to use it's service again if I choose to try (not exactly reasuring).
    A second answer to a second e-mail says: (Ticket ID: SVN-701-71147) "Thank you for your email, please be assured the money will be refunded back to you."
    That's all. Again polite but no useful information, just a vague assurance of refund, somehow, someday into the indefinite future. If it happens I'll post it here but I'm not holding my breath.
    Reading other answers from Chat and Vision posted online here and on other forums dealing with their service, there appears to be a pattern of politeness, vageness, refusal to acknowledge problems and absence of a pledge to improve. Their costumer care seems designed to placate the user without promising to get better, and is so devoid of helpul attitude that it makes me believe that their messages are redacted by a software program, and consumer complains never reach any administrative person. I might be wrong but the doubt has been sown which is a shame. Up until now I was very vocal on my praise for skype, recomending it to family and friends as a very useful and good service, but this experience with Chat and Vision, and my discovery of their costumer service history online, has set me thinking about looking for alternatives to Skype, and certainly has dissuaded me to recomend Skype to anyone ever again,or at least while their sales are still managed by Chat And Vision, or at least while Chat and Vision continues its customer service attitude, polite on the surface but haughty and unhelpful underneath.
    If there are new updates I might post them here, but for now I will not pursue the matter further since the amount involved was small and I see no point in sending more e-mails to Chat and Vision. I just feel bitter that the great service that I felt was Skype has ben tarnished by this experience. Just some final thoughts: 
    I do not complain that my order was scrutinized by security reasons, I understand the risk of illegal activity on online transactions, and the need of online companies to be careful, but the process Chat and Vision used seemed overly unconcerned for the confort of the consumer. It took around a full day for my order to be scrutinized and then rejected, which did let me for a long time in the dark not knowing if my gift would reach the friend I wanted to give it to. This is 2014, does Chat and Vision not have the tecnology to do a better and faster process? Do they scrutinize online orders by hand? I have read more cases similar to mine here on this forum, which to me implies that Chat and Vision are overly and unnecessary zealous on their security procesess. ( Also it is jarring that they seem to consider their clients to be criminals, for no reason at all and with no opportunity to contest the charge.)
    If they are going to reject a transaction on security reasons, why not do it before the payment is processed, not after, which can be stressful to the consumer that gave the money and didn't receive what was advertised, for no real reason. Seems to me there is a mistake in the way the system is set, or there is a clear disdain of what the client might think or feel.
    I think that's all. Thank you if you went all the way thru this overly long rant. If you are a consummer beware that when you buy services from Skype, you are not buying from Skype but from somebody else and that somebody else does not have a spotless record. If you are an administrative person from Skype or Chat and vision, I hope you eventually prove me wrong about your unconcern for the welfare of the consumer. My experience so far is not encouraging but that may change.
    Have a good one.

  • This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

    Hello my name is James king.
    and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570  reference card.
    (5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play  Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing  throughout the night, to no avail.
    (5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards.                 at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call      and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online.                    and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
    (5/29/12)  i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
    (6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label. 
    (6/4/12) i ship the card, via UPS

"sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
    (6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup. 
    and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

     So are you asking us for help with your PC issues or simply complaining to us about your RMA which we on this forum have nothing to do with. We are MSI product users here the same as you and we are helping each other out with problems on their PCs with their MSI parts.

  • Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and a good program to detect one on your mac? I think I may have one.

    So yesterday I found out that my email address password had been changed. I don't remember doing this, but it is possible I changed it a while back and considering I keep my email constantly logged in. But at the same time, two of my apps were trying to access their "store". I play a game called League of Legends, which has an online store, and it randomly came up with the message "Could not connect to Maestro" (credit card). Then, Itunes (which I rarely use) came up with "sorry, we could not continue with your purchase". I think it's very strange that all of this happened at the same time, but hopefully it's a case of a forgotten password and two games bugging/crashing. I scanned my entire computer with iantivirus and it hasn't found anything, but I've heard keyloggers can be a bit hard to detect. Does anybody have any experience with keyloggers and if so, what program did you use to detect and destroy it?

    If you think that a keylogger has been installed the only safe thing you can do is erase your drive and reinstall.
    I don't think that is the case however.

  • Anyone got experience with LabView and JTAG ?

    Anyone got experience with LabView and JTAG ?
    Especially in system programming of Altera and FLASH

    Yes, I've actually driven JTAG using DIO, but this was a project in itself.
    I guess you're just wanting to get the job done! I'm currently evaluating
    gear to do the same job myself, in addition to interconnect testing. I've
    been looking at JTAG Technologies equipment. They do PCI/PXI cards and the
    SW, with a LabVIEW interface.
    They're at:

    You'll need to be sitting down when you get their quote though - their development
    system costs about the same as a decent car!

  • This my first experience with itunes and using a gift carddownloaded an album and only half of a few songs played before jumping to the next song

    This is my first experience with itunes and I chose to download a Mark Knopfler album. The first three songs stopped half way and instantly started the next song. How do I re-load the songs since i now "own" them? Thanks. Luce.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Experiences with Yosemite and Mainstage

    Did any of you try Yosemite yet? I'm eager to upgrade but I'll wait with upgrading till next week when I have a couple of days without gigs. Would like to hear your experiences with Yosemite and Mainstage (3).

    I tried Yosemite with MainStage a while back, while Yosemite was still in beta.  At first, everything seemed fine.  About an hour or so after starting MainStage, we took a break.  When we got back on stage, I went to play and there was about a full second of latency!  I had to restart MainStage in the middle of a song.
    After about the third time this happened to me, I reverted back to Mavericks, and the problem hasn't happened since.  Thus, I'm nervous about upgrading to Yosemite again...

  • 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

  • Any Experiences with OODBMS and WLS (also Javlin or VEJB)

    Hi guys,
    we are evaluating WLS in combination with OODBMS and RDBMS. Has anybody
    done this before and want to give us some hints on it. We take a look at
    Versant and Object Store versus Oracle 8i. We have to build a high
    traffic site with approx. 1000 hits/sec. We intend to modell the
    business logic in the EJB Modell. We have to present product-infos, news
    etc from a database. There are to pretty new containers out there :
    Javlin and VEJB(Versant). Has anybody experience with these products ?
    As I learn from this newsgroup there seem to be some performance
    problems regarding Entity Beans. I would like to know if this problems
    occur with OODBMS or RDBMS or both. Is the Container the bottlenack or
    the database ? It seems that from the performance point of view
    stateless Session Beans with pooled jdbc-Connections are the best
    solution. Is this right. Has anybody put in Java-Instances right in an
    OODBMS without involving a container ? What experiences have you made ?
    Thanks for your help
    regards Oliver

    Oliver,
    I suggest contacting the ODI or Versant folks. They can provide a wealth of
    benchmarks that explain why they're up there in performance with RDBMSes.

  • Awful Experience with Delivery and Installation of Appliances from BBY

    I went to the Best But in College Park, MD on 02 March 2015 with the intention of buying an appliance suite (refrigerator, range, and dish washer). A sales associated assisted me promptly upon entering the store, and I let him know what I needed to purchase and that I would need delivery, installation, and haul away for all three items. He stated that the delivery, installation, and haul away was included with the price of all three items, and we scheduled my initial delivery date for 13 March 2015.
    The evening before my delivery, 12 March 2015, I got a call from the Geek Squad giving me a three hour window they would be there to deliver and install my items. In going over the order with the representative I asked if the same crew dropping off the appliances would be installing the plumbing for the dishwasher. Contrary to what I was told in the store at the time of purchase, the representative on the phone notified me that a dishwasher installation was not sold to me and the following day the only thing the crew would be doing is dropping off the dishwasher. She then instructed me to call the store to see if there was any adjustments that could be made that would not change my delivery date the following day.
    So, I call the store and explain what is going on to the representative in customer service. He instructs me that he cannot add the installation on to the order for the next day because the route has already been made and the warehouse told him its too late to change. So, instead he, in conjunction with his manager, said he can add the dishwasher install for a later date that I was available, but the delivery of the range and the refrigerator would remain for the following date. After about 45 minutes we work through the kinks and he lets me know he will call me back the following day to give me a solidified date and time that the dishwasher can be installed.
    So, the following day comes and the time frame for my delivery and installation of the range and refrigerator comes and goes without hearing a word from Best But or the Geek Squad. So, I call customer service and the rep I'm speaking with lets me know that whatever the in-store rep did over the phone the following night put the entire order into reschedule and nothing would be delivered to me that day. Imagine my frustration because I've taken off from work to take possession of appliances that AREN'T GOING TO SHOW UP. Immediately, I hang up with customer service and go into the store where I originally purchased the appliances. I was told it did in fact get pushed into reschedule and my only option was to reschedule the delivery AGAIN. After working with both the rep and the General Manager in-store I was able to get the delivery rescheduled for 23 March 2015 with the dishwasher installation added to the order for free since it was an error caused by a Best Buy employee.
    On 21 March 2015, I got the calls from the automated system giving me my three hour window the installers would be there on the 23rd of March to install my items. On 23 March 2015, the crew with the refrigerator and the range showed up first. They asked me to come to the truck upon arrival because there was some issue with the refrigerator and they wanted me to see it before they unloaded it and brought it up to my home. The refrigerator of course shows up badly dented on the door, so I refuse it because I haven't gone through all of this to take possession of a damaged product. The delivery man let me know that if I did take possession of it, they would offer me some discounts because it was damaged. I said no thanks and he called customer service for me to speak with a woman at the warehouse about the damaged product. The woman at the warehouse said she was going to check their inventory and call me back within a few moments to reschedule a new unit to be sent out. They install the range without an issue. Next, the dishwasher team shows up and that goes off without a hitch. Of course, I didn't hear back from anyone at the warehouse at all that evening to reschedule the delivery of a new refrigerator.
    All in all, this has been a HORRIBLE experience with Best Buy. As a loyal Elite Status Rewards Zone customer and a former employee of the Best Buy in College Park, MD, I can say after this appliance experience, Best But has lost a lifelong customer. The level of customer service I received was sub-par and their attempts to correct an issue that started with their employee giving me improper information about installation being included in the price of all the appliances made the situation worse. I ended up returning the refrigerator because I refuse to wait any longer or go through anymore drama in order to take possession of something I paid for twenty days ago and can't receive because of Best Buy's inability to get their act together. I ended up purchasing a refrigerator from Sears immediately after cancelling my order for the one from Best Buy and it was delivered next day and damage free.

    Hello canbro34,
    The purchase and delivery of new appliances should be exciting and fun and not result in the kinds of tribulations that you describe. Our representatives should ensure that you have everything you need for a successful delivery and installation and I was surprised to read that the did not. I apologize for your having to cope with this frustrating experience.
    I was gratified to read that the store's general manager was able to work with you to help assuage some of the problems that were created. It was regrettable that the refrigerator arrived damaged, but I was happy to hear that the delivery and installation of the other appliances went smoothly.
    Although I understand your reasons, I was dismayed to read that you elected to purchase your refrigerator from a competitor and that this experience may influence your future shopping destination. It is my hope that you will give Best Buy another chance one day soon.
    Please know that I am sincerely grateful that you took the time to share your experience with us.
    Sincerely,
    John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • Anyone got experience with Filemaker and Mac OSX v10.4 on a G5

    I am in the transition period from PPC to Intel, and installation of Aperture. My main box is an Apple G5 DP running OSX 10.3.9 and I have the upgrade software to go to OS 10.4+ but have not yet installed it. I also have a recent Intel MacBook Pro running 10.4.9.
    Problem I'm experiencing is not unusual. If I run the current OS I cant run Aperture in the G5. If I upgrade the OS I suspect I will 'leave behind' some of the other software I rely on.
    My query is about one main piece of software I use - Filemaker Pro 5.5 which runs a database I created handling my analog image collection, client info, deliveries and invoices, accounts etc. It works cleanly and quickly and allows great flexiblity in preparing material for output.
    I downloaded the trial of Filemaker Pro 9 and it didn't like my old database when I tried to import it into the Intel laptop, and many functions seemed to have gone awol in the conversion to the newer software.
    I cant experiment with this in the G5 as Filemaker is a key management tool in my work and any complications I need to overcome will impact seriously on my work.
    So my question is - anyone got any experience with Filemaker in G5's - if I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run? And if not, are there any ways around this - eg using Classic environment?

    *"I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run?"*
    Yes

    2. Any other driver issue etc.
    3. Stability / Speed of the machine?
    I have been using windows 8 till now but I am sick of tired of the bad UI which is totally un-usable

    My experience with the W530 has been poor.
    I am running Xubuntu 13.10 and previously ran 12.10, I did dual boot for a couple of months and then changed to exclusively use Linux.
    I understand that the fingerprint reader does work but this is a feature that I do not use.
    I have the hi-res screen that is a beauty! .. I use it as a photographer, am impressed.
    The dual vieo display cards creates significant problems. With the latest  Nvidia driver (now, after one year) VGA output is supported but to get VGA output *and* power savings on battery operation one needs to be very clever! Nobody mentions HDMI.
    The screen calibration system (works great under Windows) doesn't work and will probably never work under Linux.
    The built-in microphone system does not function.
    Prior to purchasing the machine the support people told me that the W530 fully supported Linux. That is nonsense. There are no Lenovo patches to fix any of these problems a full year after my purchase.
    The on-line tests that I read regarding the system on Linux indicated that in essance everything was working. It is possible that under OpenSUSE or Fedora I might be ahead in some areas but I am not prepared to take the gamble without some very strong assurances.
    My take: The fragmentation of Linux creates a situation whereby basic hardware runs just fine but specialty beasts like the W530 are just so far out of the mainstreem that neither the hardware manufacturer or the Linux developers have the time or the energy to bother with the product.
    Conclusion: nice machine ... or would be if it could be made to fully function.

  • Experiences With ATV and Season/Multi-Passes

    I'm looking for some user experiences regarding AppleTV and Season/Multi-Passes purchased from iTunes, as well as podcasts etc. I've noticed some ATV owners issuing complaints in regards to new episodes not downloading properly, as well as having to to download to their computer before transferring to their ATV.
    Since most folks won't post here unless there is a problem, its sometimes hard to gauge the actual frequency of an issue like this. So I put this to you, ATV owners/operators, lovers and haters: has the user experience of the ATV been mostly positive, or have problems like the one mentioned above reduced the functionality of the unit?
    FYI, I'm currently looking into purchasing an AppleTV, but if I can't expect shows and podcasts to automatically download while I am away then I don't think this is the solution I'm looking for.
    Thanks for your (hopefully thought out and balanced) opinions.

    For the most part, the season/multi-passes I have subscribed to have worked as advertised. I receive e-mail notices and the new episodes download automatically to iTunes when they become available (this requires setting iTunes to check for new episodes automatically).
    I have had a few problems in the past with not receiving notices or being able to retrieve new episodes that were online in the iTunes store, but not recently. I also had a big problem a few months ago with my iTunes store account becoming almost completely non-functional, but that was apparently the result of database corruption in the iTunes store that was fixed by iTunes store support after I complained about it.
    The only ongoing problem I continue to have is that none of my multi-passes automatically renew even though I have them set to do so. I always get an e-mail message saying there was a problem renewing my multi-pass, but buying a new multi-pass manually always works. I have complained about this problem several times already, but it continues.

  • Considering Lenovo For First Time, Others Experience with K410 and K330B

    Hi everyone I am shopping for a new desktop. My 7 year old Dell Dimension 4700 died and am now shopping. I am looking to spend around $300 which I know is a pretty basic machine but for my needs(web surfing,quicken, word processing,low graphic games,burning dvds,listening to cds) that should be fine.
    I like the flexibility that my Dell had with both DVD burner  and CD rom drives and have wanted to have a second hard  drive on whatever I end up with so I can separate the OS from the data.
    From my researching it seems that my best options are either a refurb Ideacenre K410 or K330B which I've seen on the Lenovo outlet website listed for $281 and $287 respectively ) I don't hink Dell is what it used to be and the Hp's at this price seem to be very basic in terms of the MB used.
    Otherwise I'm considering building my own as I have a brand new 400w ps, a barely used ATA drive(which I know would need an adapter),a still functioning SATA HD,a functional DVD burner and CDROM.Would need to buy mb,cpu,case, fan and basic sound card. But with a copy of windows 7 it is easily at least at $300 so it makes wonder if one of the above Lenovos is a better option.
    I have read different things about Lenovo support and reliability so I'm not sure what to think.
    So my questions are what are others experiences with these 2 desktops and also how reliable has your Lenovo been.Also others experience with refurbs would be helpful.
    Sorry this is so long but I could really use help.
    Thanks

    Yes, I also uninstalled Diskeeper.
    Like Centex, I'm curious why you did that?  It doesn't sound like you chose to install an alternate like PerfectDisk instead.
    Re the data partition you mention, Lenovo tried that with the ideaPad with somewhat mixed results on their first effort.  Perhaps an improved version will be available in the future.

  • Anyone have some real-world experience with clustering and RMI?

    We are getting ready to do some stress testing on a clustered WLS RMI
              environment. Does anyone have any real world experience with this type
              of environment. I'm looking for information related to performance
              (transactions per second), how does it scale as you add new instances
              (does it get to a point where another instance actually degrades
              performance), how easy is it to administer the cluster?
              Any input would be greatly appreciated,
              thanks,
              Edwin
              

    Edwin:
              You might also want to refer to my earlier posting in this newsgroup re:
              setting an optimal value for executeThreadCount and percentSocketReaders
              on the client side in a cluster setup. Look for the subject "variable
              performance in a cluster".
