Help with Solaris 2.5.1

Hello all,
I'm new to the Solaris administration and must install Solaris 2.5.1 on a 36G harddrive running on an Ultra 80 Workstation (configured as a server to sunray 100s). I have installed Solaris 8 on a second harddrive inthe same maching but can't seem to get 2.5.1 to even start installing. Yes I have the installation manual for what it's worth but every time I boot off of the CD I get a prompt to enter a kernal id. What do I do????
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The NI-488.2 for Solaris, v2.2 requires Solaris 2.5.1 or above, and the NI-488.2 for Solaris, v2.3 requires Solaris 2.6 and above. You will see these messages when you start up the installers. You are right that this information should be more clearly available at the website, at the download pages and perhaps in KnowledgeBase, too.

Help with Solaris 10

Hello,
I just got ahold of a SunBlade 100 system (that's having video problems, I already posted what the problem is in the Hardware section) and I would like some help with Solaris 10. I have never used Sun before, and I figured why not get a machine and start learning. =)
Anyways, I do alot of web design and networking...on Mac's though.
I'm setting this system up on a Rack along with a Win Xp box, a Mac G4, and a Linux Mint machine.
I also have two of these Scsi towers that came with the Sun System. They can each hold I believe 8-10 Drives each? Not sure..that i want to setup at a later time.
My questin is this. I'd like to run websites off my Sun system. But i'm not sure how to transfer my files from iWeb to the Sun, and how to control the sites on the system, as well as turning the site on, off, etc.
I'd also like to store music on it as well. Because I can have alot of Scsi drives, i figured I can get quite large amount of storage for songs. I'd like to set it up to where I can give someone a login information and a website (ex. myuploadsite.net) and they can go in, and upload there music. But, I'd like to make it to where I can make the website in iWeb, and run it off the Sun system, and store all the files on the Sun as well.
And my last question is this. How do I remote desktop to a Sun System from a Mac. I'm using Apple Remote Desktop, and the way the rack is setup, is that I remote connect to the Xp, linux, and Mac box's (saves monitors, and space. =), and also because I'm usually never home...
Thanks in advance for the help!
Oh, and if anyone has a Instant Messanger and wouldn't mind having a chat with me, that would be great.

hi all

Help with Solaris.....any help would be nice

I have to write a paper comparing and contrasting Solaris with DOS/MSDOS.....you wouldnt think this would be hard but it is......is ththere a place where I can find a head to head comparsion? If not perhaps some of you familiar with Solaris could give me some points to start with......I should point out I have never used or seen Solaris I am completely new to this area and it may seem simple but the truth is Im a little overwhelmed by all the information....cant see the forrest for the trees...........so any help would be nice ....thanks in advance

Hi,
Solaris is so much more advanced an OS than DOS that a comparison is not straightforward, but here are some less than exhaustive suggestions. Please bear in mind I m not a DOS person, and these are just my personal thoughts on the subject; apologies to Microsoft afficionados for any mistakes.
Similarities:
Both DOS and Solaris are Operating Systems. They provide access to machine resources, like a printer port, or a disk ( through the filesystem), by providing an Application Programming Interface, thus saving programmers from learning the underlying details and machine language of each machine they use. So for example in DOS compiler routines make use of INT 21h to access system services.In solaris we use the system call interface (which does a similar thing underneath).
They also both provide a command shell for ordinary users. In DOS we have command.com, in Solaris you may use Korn shells for example.
Differences
DOS is a single user operating system. Solaris is multiuser, multitasking and multiprocessing.
That is to say Solaris supports multiple programs running on the system at the same time. It will context switch between them to give the illusion of concurrency on a uniprocessor system (time-slicing). On a multiprocessor some tasks will run concurrently.
Many users can log on to a Solaris system (via a serial terminals, or a network connection (telnet or X windows)) and run programs at the same time. Full networking facilities are built in.
Dos only provides the ability to fileshare across the network, using the add on Lan Manager.
Because multiple users run processes (threads/tasks ...) concurrently, Solaris provides extensive security, which DOS doesnt. Each process is owned by a user and runs in its own virtual memory space and is prevented from interfering with any other process memory or other users processes. The operating system and its data is held in protected kernel memory and not directly accessible to processes, so malfunctioning user program cant crash the system accidentally or maliciously.
Devices and files are protected through filesystem permissions, so a device or file has an owner, a group owner and various permissions attributes such as read/write/execute.
Solaris also implements filesystem Access Control Lists (ACLs).
Solaris runs in 32bit protected mode on x86 processors, giving it access to the full address range of the processor (4GB using 4k pages). DOS uses the 16bit segmented memory model.
On ultrasparc systems or the forthcoming Intel Itanium systems, Solaris runs in 64bit mode, giving it access to vastly more memory and
faster computation. (note also DOS only runs on x86 processors).
Who are you writing the paper for? It would probably help some of the readers here with posting suggestions. Some specific questions would be good too.
However, you should try to get access to a solaris system on a network and maybe have a friendly sysadmin show you around a bit.
Do you know anyone with a LINUX system? Solaris and LINUX are variants of the UNIX OS and for your purposes a comparison of LINUX and DOS may suffice.
Hope that is some help.

Help with Solaris 10 and 3COM 3C556 Builtin MiniPCI

Hello All,
I have just installed S10. But my 3COM 3C556 Mini PCI NIC, is not
working with it. I don't understand why the elxl driver is not
working with since it is suppose to be compatible with the 3C9xx...
Any one had the same issue?
Here is what I have done so far.
I have included in the /etc/driver_aliases a line with
elxl "pci10b7,6055"
Also added in /boot/solaris/devicedb/master a line with
pci10b7,6055 pci10b7,6055 net pci elxl.bef "3COM 3C556 MiniPCI"
then I config the network wih hostname.elxl
netmask, defauftroute, resolv.conf etc...
I do a devfsadm -i elxl
touch /reconfigure
I reboot.
Whe I do an ifconfig -a I can then see the card up with the corect
IP, but it has a MAC address that is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, I can not
ping outside, and the led of the NIC card does not come up. It looks
like it's not even up.... But I know its works okay since I used to
have debian on the machine...
Thanks for your help
Cheers,
HK

Brilliant workaround.
most of these posts are before Sol 10 was officially launched, but I just wanted to give some feedback to date.
I'm trying to get solaris 10 working on a Dell Latitude C810. (where I work our notebooks are faster then our desktops/servers!)
Anyhow found similar problem where no NIC was found.
Using the manual steps below, and by changing the bios to boot the NIC first, I was able to 'fake' solaris into at least getting it to a state where i could "massage" it
bootup it still doesn't like things, due to being unable to configure the ipv4 device elxl0 but, i just made a little script file to change it to what it should be..
ifconfig elxl0 down
ifconfig elxl0 <ip address you want>
ifconfig elxl0 netmask <netmask>
ifconfig elxl0 broadcast <bcast addy>
ifconfig ether <mac-addy>
ifconfig elxl0 up
ifconfig -a
this get's the device as close to workable state.
Just a further note, I tried installing this on a couple "express builds" 07/05 and 08/05, both, upon a fresh install, just after grub loads, it immediately core-dumps and reboots the machine.
Once i reverted back to the 'official' 03/05 release version, it installed fine, I really would prefer to experiment with grub, and to take advantage of the newest bug-fixed express builds, but, c'est la vie...
Thanks again for posting this workaround!

NEED HELP WITH SOLARIZING EFFECT!

So I am editing my final film project at the moment on FCP, and I need to know how to make the solarizing video filter do a few specific things. I need to make it look like the effect is SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE CLIP and not just simply BOOM, THERE! And then on the following clip, I'd like it if my actors remained in regular color, as they were, and for only the BACKGROUND behind them to have the soarized filter.
Does anybody know how to do this at all? It would be a tremendous help to me as right now the effect honestly looks a bit silly! Thanks, I really appreciate it a lot!
Cheers,
Liz

I need to make it look like the effect is SLOWLY CREEPING INTO THE CLIP< </div>
Create a next of all of your finished sequence. Pull two copies fo the next into a new sequence, on on top of the other (you only need audio from one of them). One copy of your sequence does not have the filter, the other does. Create a wipe or another transition or use a motion track matte to add the effect. Using an animated track matte you can have the solarization effect selectively applied to any location on the screen.
If this is a big part of your finished school project, you may want to have Plan B ready to go. You may not be able to get what you think you want without exploring several special effects design functions that you apparently have not covered in class.

Help with Solaris on NT 4.0 box.

I have an NT 4.0 system that I can�t disable at this time. I also want to run Solaris 8 on that same box. How can I accomplish this? Can I run Solaris 8 and NT on the same drive? Can they be run from to different partitions on the same drive? Or can they be run from two different drives in the same box? If an option is workable how do you select what OS to use when you boot the system? Thank for all help in advance.
Mark

Yes, you can run Solaris 8 Intel edition on an existing machine that has NT 4.0 installed onto the same drive. Also, Solaris will have be installed onto a separate partition on the drive since it uses a different file system from the Win32 platforms. Finally, you can also run Solaris on a different drive on the same box.
The prerequisite is to have Windows NT 4.0 installed first before Solaris 8. The installation is straightforward - just need to pop the Device Configuration Assistant into the floppy drive and the Solaris 8 Installation into the CD-ROM drive and the installation menu will guide you through.
The only caution I can give you is that at some point of the installation process, you will be asked to select the harddisk space for the Solaris OS, ensure that you select the remaining harddisk AND NOT the entire harddisk, if you select the entire harddisk, your Windows NT 4.0 OS will be erased.

Help with solaris 10 instalation

Hi,
after installing solaris 10, its asking me for login name & password? what should I do?

Hi
During the installation, you were asked for the root password. So you need to login as user 'root' using this password.
The next thing that you should do is to create an ordinary user account for yourself. There's more than one way to do this, but an easy one is to launch /usr/sbin/smc (Solaris Management Console), select 'This Computer' in the Toolboxes list, then System Configuration (left panel) -> Users. After that it's something like Action->Add User (I don't have the necessary priveleges on the machine that I'm using). Then you can logout as root and log back in as the user that you created.

Need help with using Solaris FLAR across disparate platforms

All,
I need help with what needs to be done to use solaris Flash for disaster recovery between the disparate Server platforms listed below.
I am concerned about the platform specific files that would be missing?
Note: All our servers are installed with the SUNWCprog cluster through Custom jumpstart and We use disksuite for mirroring the operating system drives.
Primary Server     Recovery Server
Sun Fire 6800     Sun Fire E2900
Sun Fire E2900     Sun Fire 6800
Sun Fire-880     Sun Fire-V440
Sun Fire-V440     Sun Fire-880
Sun Fire 4800     Sun Fire-880
Sun Fire-V890     Sun Fire 4800
Me

jds2n,
Is it possible to get around installing the Entire Distribution + OEM and include only the platform specific files?
Just a thought
Example:
I would like to create a Flash Archive of a E2900 server which i plan to use to recover a 6900.
The 2900 was installed with a developer cluster.
When creating the Flash archive of the 2900 is it possible to add the 6900 platform specific files and drivers
from the Solaris CD?
Thanks

New to Solaris...need help with netra T1

I want to learn a form of Unix and thought Solaris would be a good place to start. I purchased a netra T1 in a package deal with some other equipment and am having a learning experience. The box came with Solaris 9, currently running 5.8. I can get the LOM interface up...I can get to the lom> prompt and the $ prompt but can't get any commands suggested by the install manual to work. The Netra T1 has a CDROM so I am trying the boot cdrom command...following is the sequence of events:
$boot cdrom
boot: not found
Any suggestions or links to documentation is appreciated.
Brittan

On the Netra you have three levels - lom (Lights out managment) is the 'bottom' level. From here you can control power to the box, etc
The next level is the OBP (Open Boot Prom) - This is the one you need to be at in order to do your boot cdrom
The top level is the OS running - if you've got a $ prompt, then chances are you're logged in as someone other than root on the server with the OS running.
To get to the OBP you'll want to be root. Assuming you know the root password type su -
supply the root password when prompted. Your $ will now change to a # this indicates you are now the superuser (root).
Now you can issue commands such as shutdown, halt, etc
shutdown -g0 -y -i0 (those are both zero) will tidy shutdown the box to the OBP
alternatively, if you're going to reinstall the OS anyway, you don't really care about a tidy shutdown and halt will do the trick
you're now at the OBP prompt ( ok> )
from here you can type boot cdrom
cdrom is an alias setup on the system and should be set to point to the CDROM device on your Netra

Help with memory allocation on Solaris 10

I am trying to make a FEM analysis that requires at least 6,5 GB of memory according to software's logging. I have increased the per project memory limit to 12 GB, machine has 8 GB of RAM and 6 GB of swap. But the analysis fails every time to "out of memory"
Here's a list of limits I've taken with prctl for this process. I am hoping that someone is better of with Solaris kernel parameters than I am.

Help with resizing adjacent partitions on mirrored drives - Solaris 9 V240

Hi,
I need some help here. I'm very new to unix administration. I am running out of space on my /var directory. I have a set of 72G disks that are mirroring each other. The /var is mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d5 which has only 262M available out of 5.8G. Meanwhile the partition adjacent to it /dev/md/dsk/6 which has the /opt/app directory mounted has 5.8G available out of 13G.
Is it possible for me to take space from the slice 6 and give it to slice 5? How do I do this without loosing any data?
Here is some info about my system:

If this isn't possible, it looks like I have about 12G of free space. Partition 7 is only using from 11677-11685 while I could take it up to 11677-14086. I would then have to create the mirror metattach for that partition and then would I just unmount /var and remount it on the new /dev/md/dsk/d7? I'll need help with that. Then what would I do with the unused d5?
A step by step response would be great! Thanks!

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.

1) How to Boot from SAN for T4-1 Server with Solaris 11.1 OS on the disk? 2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?

FYI....boot from SAN is required for physical server (T4-1) (not OVM).
1) How to Boot from SAN for T4-1 Server with Solaris 11.1 OS on the disk?
The SAN disks allocated are visible in ok prompt. below is the output.

We tried selecting a disk and applying sfs-boot at ok prompt.
Can you please help me providing detailed pre-requesites/steps/procedure to implement this and to start boot from SAN.
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
