FTAM? Solaris 10? Ericcson switches?

I am running a Solaris 10 environment, and have a requirement to be able to bring back information (usage, traffic, etc) from Ericcson switches on the same network.
I have been informed that there is a protocol called "FTAM" which can be used to query the switches for this information, but know nothing about this.
I understand that there is a product designed to make this sort of querying easy - from Solstice.
Can someone advise me on the best line of investigation to proceed along? Is there a way to query switches using FTAM as standard in Solaris 10, or do I have to purchase the Solstice product to allow me to do so?
Is there any other relevant device that may help?
Thanks.

You probably have to purcase it.
Solstice FTAM is one of few Sun products which requires a valid license key to use it, so even if you get the software you'll need the key.
The latest version is 9.0.0, its not Solaris 10 compliant out-of-the box, but if you apply patch 111825-09 it will work on Solaris 10 as well.

Ultra-10 (Solaris 9) as switch console [?]

I have a 3Com switch (3300XM) that's not working and I'd like to connect to its management port since it passes the Power/Self Test without a problem. I can't find the right cable (dual DB9 female) so I can hook up to it from my PC but I have a DB25 male/DB9 female that I could hook up to my SPARC system instead. What extra tools or native commands would I use to connect to my SPARC's serial port in order to diagnose the switch?
TIA :)
J.

The usual command is `tip'. If you want 9600 bps on serial
port B, `tip hardwire' may work fine for you. Otherwise, you
may want to edit the /etc/remote file. Both `tip' and `remote'
have man pages.

Solaris 8 x86 Shutdown

Hello,
I have installed the Solaris 8 Intel x86 edition. Now I have a (maybe silly) problem: I don't know how to shut down Solaris.
I am working with the CDE desktop. When I am logging out from there, the desktop is closed and the entrance panel for another CDE session appears. From this point, I don't find a way how to get a command prompt or a menu item for shutting down the solaris system for switching off the computer in a safe way.
When I am switching off the computer at the point of the entrance panel, this causes damages of the file system.
Inside CDE desktop, I cannot find a menu item for closing the CDE session and shutting down.
When I open a console within CDE and enter SHUTDOWN or HALT command, this ends the running Solaris but also damages the file system.
Can anybody tell me what the correct procedure is?
Thank you very much for your help!
Thomas

Hello,
I reinstalled Solaris 8 the same way as before, but now I always shutdown the system with init 5. So far, no problems with the file system occured. So I think the problem was the wrong shutdown methods I have used before.

JNI and multithreading

Hello all
We have developed a Java application that invokes C functions of a third-party
vendor via JNI.
One of the clients of our application is a servlet that invokes our
application in a multithreaded manner. We instantiate the JNI
in the init() method of the servlet, and the functions of our application
are invoked in the doPost() method.
The software from the third-party software expects requests in a multithreaded
manner from the C application, but it reports an error, stating that it received
requests from a single-threaded application.
Is this due to the JNI compoenent?
Is there a way of creating C threads from Java?
We need to maintain a one-to-one mapping between the C and Java threads.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards

The software from the third-party software expects
requests in a multithreaded
manner from the C application, but it reports an
error, stating that it received
requests from a single-threaded application.Do you have multiple versions of the external library for single and multi-threaded? Maybe you are simply linking the wrong one.
Is this due to the JNI compoenent?Possibly. If the Java thread model does not match the underlying thread model, you might have this sort of problem.
Is there a way of creating C threads from Java?
We need to maintain a one-to-one mapping between the C
and Java threads.This depends what the underlying thread model of the VM is. If the VM uses native threads, then each Java thread uses exactly one C thread (and the VM may use additional C threads). If the VM uses "green" threads, then all Java threads map to a single C thread. Native threads are the only option on Windows, but green threads were the default on Unix platforms until recently. (I do not remember exactly when Solaris and Linux switched to native threads; I think 1.2 for Linux and 1.3 for Solaris). HP/UX and other "unofficial" platforms may still be using green threads, in which case you have a problem. You would have to control all access to the native library with synchronization.

No Responses from ALOM using NET MGNT PORT on SunFire v245

Please Help...
I have two sunfire V245 servers running Apache on Solaris 5.10. Both servers have the same settings and apps. Before we used serial port to connect to ALOM 1.6. We switched to net mgnt port because of virtualization of all our servers.
Situation:
Server 1 applied the solaris patches to server 1 and switch to Net Mgnt port to connect to ALOM and no problem setting up and connecting to ALOM. And it is still working and everything works fine.
Server 2 did not applied any solaris patches and switch to Net Mgnt port to connect to ALOM and no problem setting up and connecting to ALOM. After applying solaris patches to server 2 (same patches applied to Server 1), no responses from ALOM when connecting to it. Apache and Unix OS are both working fine. Just can not connect to ALOM.
Please Help ... many Thanks in advance
George

if you want to connect via net mgmt port, then you have to configure a separate IP address for net mgmt to access.
if you have not configure the IP for net mgmt then you can connect to serial mgmt port with a straight cable and with a DB-9 connector (null modem)
OR
you can do this from OS as well.
go to
login as root user
cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`
cd sbin
./scadm help
./scadm setsc netsc_ipaddr 0.0.0.0 (net mgmt IP, other than OS)
./scadm setsc netsc_ipnetmask 0.0.0.0
./scadm setsc netsc_ipgateway 0.0.0.0
./scadm reset-sc
plug in a cable in net mgmt port.
now u can access through net mgmt IP.
the proper way to exit from serial management is
sc> logout

How can I switch languages in Solaris 9.0

Hi,
I need help with switching different language user interfaces for Solaris 9. I would like to login as a Chinese user and have Chinese interface, input supoort etc and after that I would like to switch to another language interface if possible.
Rather than installing one locale setting in the beginning, is it possible to switch between languages like using Multi-user interface?
Thanks in advance,
Mehmet

Hi Niel,
You can use the method you specified.
In Bex Analyzer you have design mode where you can have the following items Button, Analysis Grid and Combo box.
To work with the button you need to use the Command Wizard which consists of pre-defined functions, out of those select the one which suits your requirement and supply the parameters. As it is done thorugh a Wizard it would be easy to do.
Also,
The Button Name displays the name of the button, which is generated automatically and is unique. This name is used on the BEx Analyzer Design Toolbar menu to refer to a particular instance of the button.
· Range u2013 Manipulate coordinates for a cell or cells in this field to move or resize the button.
· Button Text - The text (caption) you want to display on the button. You can use this to describe the command the button executes.
· Command Range (optional) - Specify a three-column range of cells in the worksheet that contains command parameters. In these cells, you provide the same parameters (Name, Index, and Value) as in the Static Parameters, but in the worksheet these can be variable, changing during
navigation based on query results or on a value you manually specify.

Bought a Goalzero solar charger - Switch 8 pack - but get an 'not supported' message and charging stops?

Anybody help - going on a charity trek next week and my solar charging kit (Goalzero Nomad 3.5 with Guide 10 and Switch 8) is giving a 'not supported' error message and stops charging?

The 65W and 90W will definitely not work with the W510.
The link you sent has no mention of a W510 in the hardware compatibility list.
You need to order another charger i.e. 135W.
Copy and paste from the 65W URL you sent.

Netra t1 with solaris 9 fresh install on/standby switch

Hi,
I recently installed solaris 9 onto my Netra 105 box. For the likes off me I can't figure out why the on/standby switch simply does not work since reinstalling. The only way I can power down the box is by literally unplugging it from the wall. I am a total newbie to Sun boxes (& solaris for that matter) & have had zero luck in finding any info specific info relating to this. Can some kind soul put me on the right track?

I have down precisely what you have recommended & the thing still won't go into standby. After executing poweroff from the LOM prompt It just sits there continually humming away. Yet it worked fine prior to the installation off solaris 9 from solaris 8. I have even reinstalled again, this time making sure to include the power management options. All reinstalls were done with the "initial installation" option.
Here is a screen dump off the unit booting & me executing the poweroff commnd:

Cheap KVM switch for Solaris 10 on US and Intel boxes?

Hi. Any one got some idea on which kind of KVM switch is supported on Solaris 10 on UltraSparc as well as Intel boxes? I can only find those expensive ones for enterprise users, but I am just a home user, unable to afford that. Thanks for your suggestion!!

From what I can tell, containers (zones) are supported just fine on the x86/64 systems with the exception of Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 branded zones. Oh, and Linux-branded zones only work on x86/64 systems. Solaris 10 though as a non-global zone works on any S10 host OS.

Switching from CDE to JDS in Solaris 10

I just installed Solaris 10 and chose CDE instead of JDS. How can I switch?

You could remove the file ${HOME}/.dt/sessions/lastsession file, then you'll be asked to choose again when you next login :)

Solaris 11.1 console layout switch in VirtualBox

I have Win7pro x64 as a VirtualBox host system and Solaris 11.1 as guest.
Solaris was installed in text mode, with default language and keymap settings (English).
Then I have changed locale settings:
pkg change-facet facet.locale.ru_RU=True
svccfg -s svc:/system/environment:init \
setprop environment/LANG = astring: ru_RU.UTF-8
svcadm refresh svc:/system/environment
and layout settings:
svccfg -s keymap:default setprop keymap/layout = Russian
svcadm refresh keymap
svcadm restart keymap
also I have tried:
kbd -s with selecting Russian
loadkeys
But after system reboot I still can't switch keyboard layout (US always).
I have tried all combinations of ctrl,shift,alt (and also "win key" and "menu").
This is when virtual machine have no GUI installed.
After installing GUI I have a login request window with RU layout and I can not switch to US layout to enter login name.
So I had to switch back keymap settings to enter the system:
svccfg -s keymap:default setprop keymap/layout = US-English
What am I doing wrong?
And whats the difference between "setprop keymap/layout" and "kbd -s"?
P.S. yes, I can use ssh for working with server. And now I am using it. But I have already spend enough time for working with this issue. Thats why I want to know the right answer.
Thanks!
Edited by: user13068010 on 29.05.2013 0:27

You are not doing anything wrong...
You've correctly set Russian facet (ru_RU), then you've correctly set the default system locale in LANG to ru_RU.UTF-8 locale and then you've correctly set the Russian keyboard layout for the console by modifying the keymap property with the correct value and refreshes/restarted it. (There is one more step you did not do: to run kbd -i so that the keymap kernel module will be loaded... it is a bug that was fixed in S11.2)
Unfortunately S11.1 does not have support for Russian Keyboard Layout in the Console, and so in the Console you are not able to input Russian characters even if all settings are correctly set, the input will fallback to the default input: US-English.
When you install GUI (I guess GNOME) then you are able to input Russian characters.
" And whats the difference between "setprop keymap/layout" and "kbd -s"? "
The SMF Property svc:/system/keymap:default is the one that stores the value of keymap/layout... and so what kbd -s <layout> does is: set keymap/layout value (<layout>) in Property svc:/system/keymap:default and then it refreshes and restarts the property . Additionally since S11.2 it also runs kbd -i and loadkeys commands.

Supoort of x.25 9.2, OSI and FTAM 9.0 on Solaris 9

Hi,
I would like to know if Solstics x.25 version 9.2, OSI version 9.0 and FTAM version 9.0 are supported under Soalris 9 on Sparc.
WHen i visit the web pages for the above products they only mention support for Solaris 7 and 8.
Thanks,

Solaris 9 Switching from line base to GUI

Hey all,
I'm very new to SOLARIS 9. I just installed it about a week ago. My question is when i log on it in LBC is there a way to make it GUI?

As the root user, run /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
Next time you reboot, you'll have a graphical interface.

Solaris v240 and PS2 KVM switch

hi,
i am trying to connect Sun v240 servers that have USB for keyboard and mouse to a USB KVM. However this KVM accepts input from PS2 keyboard/mouse. So the KVM accepts PS2 input and the output is USB to the servers.
the KVM works for MS Windows servers with similiar setup, however v240 servers do not. There was no response as if the keyboard/mouse are not installed.
any clue for this?
thanks in advance for your help.

I'ld believe that it should work, if the KVM switch was on and the Sun server selected when the Sun server was powered on, but thats my guess..

Problem in FTAM put

I am using FTAM version 9.0 (OSI 9.0, x.25 9.1) on Solaris 8. Working with responder FTAM on Nokia DX220 (a PSTN switch).
The FTAM remote database settings are :
APT 1 3 9999 1 7
AEQ 1
PSEL (hex) 0201
SSEL (hex) 0201
TSEL (hex) 0201
I have to put one hex file from SUN Ftam to DX220 Ftam. It works 98 times out of 100 but 2 times the other side receives a corrupted file (content and at times size also).
I faced this problem also using osiftam. The command used is :
put <filename> <filename>I am aware that default doc type is FTAM1 (unstructured text). But as mentioned the file we are trying to put is of type hex. So to me better option looks like FTAM3.
My question is if anyone can suggest why when we put, remote side gives intermittent problems as mentioned above. If the file corruption is due to doc type (FTAM1) then should not the file corruption happen every time? Actually same file if i put again using the same command, in second attempt it is recieved properly by the other side.
Please help. May be the Solstice support group can reply.
Thanks.
