How To: Mylex 170 RAID + Solaris 8 x86
Hi,
My hardware:
1. Intel SAI2 Server Board
http://developer.intel.com/design/servers/sai2/
2. Mylex 170 RAID Adapter
http://www.mylex.com/products/acceleraid/datasheets/aclrd170.html
it always tell me "no disk found" when install Sol8 x86 (10/01). i already try to install from Software #1 but also don't work. i also try the Solaris 7 driver from Mylex website
http://www.mylex.com/support/productgd/index.html
it's don't work too. Anyone can help me? 1,000,000 Thanks
Chris
Hello Michael,
thanks for the information.
There is no support for the Promise Ultra 133 IDE controller listed.
Also, searching the internet for a private developed driver was not
successful.
Anyway, I have tried to make a test installation on a hard disk
connected to the primary IDE controller and I detected a lot of
further installation problems with my equipments because of
missing or not properly identified drivers.
So I think I have to make further investigations on concepts
how to get Solaris 8 run in the best way.
Thanks again for your help,
Thomas

How to configure CUPS in Solaris 10 X86 and SPARC
Dears,
I need help in configuring CUPS for Solaris 10 X86 as well as on SPARC.
What i did?
Downloaded the CUPS 1.5.0
read the readme.txt
read the INSTALL.txt
Pre-req installation requires :-
CFLAGS= -i /some/directory \
CPPFLAGS = -i /some/directory \
CXXFLAGS = -I /some/directory \
DSOFLAGS = -L /some/directgry \
LDFLAGS = -L /some/directory \
./configure --
It errors out with
checking for gawk ... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk ...nawk
chekcing for gcc ... no
checking for cc ... no
checking for cl.exe no
Configure error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
see 'config.log' for more details
I installed all the missing dependencies from www.sunfreeware.com and I have the same problem.
I also tried to install the software packages from the operating system dvd... like for
ls -lrt gcc
gcc "SUNWgcc", "SUNWgccS", "SUNWgccruntime"
ls -lrt cc
cc "SUNWgccruntime", "SUNWlccom", "SUNWcctpx", "SUNWccisgn" , "SUNWccinv", "SUNWccfwctrl", " SUNWccfw", "SUNWccccrr", "SUNWccccr", "SUNWccccfg", "SUNWislcc",
"SUNWaccu", "SUNWaccr", "IPLTccons", " SUWgccs", "SUNWgcc", "SUNWmccom", "SUNWmcc", "SUNWusbccids", "SUNWusbccid"
ls -lrt gawk
no results
ls -lrt mawk
no results
ls -lrt cl.exe
no results
Is there any way should i follow apart from the above?
Rgds,
MkyCheck pkginfo -l for each package.
export the PATH variable where the packages are installed, like /usr/local/bin and etc. -

Please help me, how can I install sun solaris 9 x86 on my HP E-Vectra PC.
Kalpesh MehtaI had similar problems several months ago. I suspect this happens when host pc does not have floppy drive(or bios somehow misreports it) as it was in my case. Solaris 8 seems to work fine in the same environment, so I keep using it for now. Possible workaround might be to use DCA from Solaris 8: Installation of Sol9 started just fine after I entered Sol8 DCA and asked it to boot from Sol9 CD.
Hope this problem will be fixed in subsequent Sol9 releases.

DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86
I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>

The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
192.168.1.1
I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
INTHOST
There is a hosts file, and it contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
192.168.1.3 INTHOST
There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
There is a nsswitch.conf file and other than the commented out lines, it contains:

Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
"route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
The only other command I've tried is:
"ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

Otherwise you can edit /etc/hostname.<interface> and place a static address there, forgoing DHCP services from the router. You may want the address to appear outside the router's DHCP range.

Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart unassisted install
How do you get a Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart to actually work?!?! Everytime I try to jump an X4500 it will go into an assisted solaris install. It reads my sysidcfg and the majority of my profile. But I have to sit and manually enter the partition information. I've tried multiple variations of "install dhcp" and "nowin" in the boot options to no avail.
Here is the error output:

RAID-1 for root/swap on Solaris 10 x86
OK, now that I have solved my problem with the update manager I am in the process of trying to create RAID-1 volumes for root and swap. I am working my way through the process by following the procedure in Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide. I have run into a few errors in the doc, e.g. referent to using installboot as opposed to installgrub.
Now I am trying to create my new volume using the Enhanced Storage tool within the Solaris Management Console. I get as far as trying to create the new volume (RAID-0) with the root slice in it but it fails with metainit telling me that the slice is already mounted on /. (No kidding -- that is the whole idea.)
Does anyone have a working procedure to create RAID-1 for root and swap?
(BTW, I am trying to do this from the doc and admin guides without stealing time from folks on the list here but I just keep running into walls.)
(Once I get that done I hope to use zfs for the rest of the storage.)

Message was edited by: brian -- initial post was truncated.
brian.lloydI am attempting to set up RAID-1 (mirroring) for root and swap. I am attempting to work from "Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide," Part No: 816�4520�12. (Same place you pointed me except I downloaded the pdf so I could page through it faster.) On page 105 you will find an entry for "Create a mirror from the root (/) filesystem," which directs you to page 122, "�x86: How to Create a RAID-1 Volume From the root (/) File System by Using DCA�.
I have two identical 300GB PATA drives with 20GB root/boot and swap partitions. The slices are all identical as to size and location, i.e. c0d0s0 is root and c1d0s0 will be the mirror for root. (I will use "mirror drive" to refer to c1d0.
Proceeding through the steps I have verified I can boot the mirror. I have created the slices. I have used fdisk to put the master boot block on the mirror drive. I have installed grub on the mirror drive.
At this point I am on step six which reads:
"Create a new RAID-0 volume on the slice from the previous step by using one of the following
methods. Only the single slice can be included in the RAID-0 volume. " At that point I decided to try to proceed using the Enhanced Storage Tool from smc.
As to RAID-0 vs. RAID-1, it is my understanding from the doc that one must first create the RAID-0 volumes, each containing just the single slice, one for each of the two volumes that will be combined to make the RAID-1 mirror, hence my comment about RAID-0.
I see your point about using the -f option to force the creation of the volume for the mounted root filesystem. One would think that, if they included the option of using the Enhanced Storage Tool that perhaps it might work. (I did not see a way to force the creation of the RAID-0 volume.) Certainly using metainit with the -f flag makes sense.
Next step will be to go back and punt EST in favor of using metainit from the command line.
I get the feeling that no one at sun is actually trying what is in the manuals to ensure correctness.

How to Reorganize CSM200 Shared Storage in Solaris 10 x86 Oracle 10gR2
I could use some guidance from those who are more experienced in RAC administration in a Solaris environment with ASM. I have a three-node RAC with Oracle 10gR2 instances on top of Solaris 10 x86 where the shared storage is a Sun CSM200 disk array which looks like a single disk to the rest of the world. I'm not very familiar with the CSM200 Common Array Manager but I do have access to use it.
During initial setup, I followed the Oracle cookbook and defined a storage slice for each of the following: OCR, OCR mirror, three voting disks, and +DATA, for a total of six slices. I brought up the RAC and we've used it for a couple of weeks.
This is a Dev and QA environment, so it changes pretty fast. The new requirement is to add a +FRA and to add a mount point for a file system on the shared storage, so that all three Oracle instances can refer to the same external table(s).
However, I've already used all the available slices in the VTOC on the shared logical drive. I'm not sure how to proceed.
1) Is it necessary to use the CAM to create two logical disks out of the single existing logical disk?
2) If so, how destructive is that? I don't need to keep the contents of the database, but I do not want to reinstall CRS or ASM or the DB instances.
3) Is it possible to combine the OCR and its mirror on the same slice, thus freeing a slice for reuse?
4) Is it possible to combine all three voting disks on the same slice, thus freeing two slices for reuse?
Edited by: user12006221 on Mar 29, 2011 3:30 PM
Another question: Under 10.2.0.4, is it possible for the OCR and voting disks to be managed by ASM? I know it would be possible under 11g, but that's not an option as I am trying to match a customer's environment and they aren't going to 11g any time real soon.What you see is what happens when the Java runtime running on Solaris 10 x86 tries to load a library which is compiled for SPARC.
Because of the native parts in SAP GUI for Java, compilations and installers are required for each OS - HW combination.
The supported platforms can be seen in SAP note 954572. For Solaris only SPARC is currently supported.
Because of the effort needed for compiling, testing, support etc. it is required to focus on OS - HW combinations widely used on desktop machines and Solaris 10 on x86 currently does not seem to be one of those. -
Solaris 10 X86 - Hardware RAID - SMC/SVM question...
I have gotten back into Sun Solaris System Administration after a five year hiatus... My skills are a little rusty and some of the tools have changed, so here is are my questions...
I have installed Solaris 10 release 1/06 on a Dell 1850 with an attached PowrVault 220v connected to a Perc 4 Di controller. The RAID is configured via BIOS interface to my liking, Solaris is installed and see's all my partitions which I created during install.
For testing purposes, the servers internal disk is used for the OS, the PowerVault is split into 2 RAID's - one is a mirror, one is a stripe...
The question is; do I manage the RAID using Sun Management Console and the tools OR do I use SMC?
When I launch SMC and go into Enhanced Storage... I do not see any RAID's... If I select "Disks" I do see them, but when I select them, it wants to run "FDISK" on them... now this is OK since they are blank but I want to ensure I am not doing sometinhg I should not be concerned with...
If the PERC controller is controlling the RAID, what do I need SMC for?You can use SMC for other purposes but it won't help your with RAID.
Sol 10 1/06 has raidctl which handles LSI1030 and LSI1064 RAID�enabled controllers (from raidctl(1M)).
Some of the PERCs (most?) are LSI but I don't know if they are chipsets used by your PoweEdge (I doubt it).
Generally you can break it down like this for x86:
If you are using hardware RAID with Solaris 10 x86 you have to use pre-Solaris (i.e. on the RAID controller) managment or hope that the manufacturer of the device has a Solaris managment agent/interface (good luck).
The only exception to this that I know of is the RAID that comes with V20z, V40z, X4100, X4200.
Otherwise you will want to go with SVM or VxVM and manage RAID within Solaris (software RAID).
SMC etc are only going to show you stuff if SVM is involved and VxVM has its own interface, otherwise the disks are controlled by PERC and just hanging out as far as Solaris is concerned.
Hope this helps. -
Solaris 10 x86 - software RAID boot
What I can write in eeprom : - for boot form 1-st, and if it absent - from 2-nd disk ? (2 disks in soft raid). two bootpath ?
In Solaris 9/sparc for boot with one working HDD in mirror (2 disks in mirrir) I wrote in /etc/system : set md:mirrored_root_flag=1
What I can wrote for this in solaris 10/ x86 ?Just for the record: The problem is solved.
I went on looking for more info on this message:
Oct 14 00:07:09 schille gda: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Sense Key: ICRC error during UDMAAnd then found an interesting post from 2004 by Juergen Keil:
The "bad block detected" message appears to be an old/obsolete error
message text, somewhere in the Solaris "ata" driver.
The ATA-1 standard (1997?) defined the 0x80 bit in the IDE
controller's error register as "bad block detected". (See page 32 on
<URL:http://www.t13.org/project/d0791r4c-ATA-1.pdf>)
The 0x80 bit seems to be "reserved" (undefined, not used any more)
with ATA-2 and ATA-3.
ATA-4 and newer now defines this bit 0x80 as ICRC "interface CRC error
has occurred during an Ultra DMA data transfer" when using ultra dma
transfers. (see the description of the "READ DMA" or "WRITE DMA"
command in <URL:http://www.t13.org/project/d1153r18-ATA-ATAPI-4.pdf>).
The Solaris ata driver seems to interpret the 0x80 bit according to
the old / obsolete 1997 ATA-1 standard.
So the "bad block detected" message seems to be a hint that some sort
of data corruption is happening on the IDE interface during UDMA data
transfers with the HDD. With UDMA capable disks it apparently does
not mean "the disk drive is dying".
I went to search what could cause a hardware datacorruption on my system and found that my internal removeable disktray was making bad contact.
After replacement everything worked as expected. -
How to install .ttf fonts in Solaris 10 x86 10/08 ?
Hi,
I have installed Solaris 10 x86 10/08 on my Pentium-II machine. It is working fine. I am using Java Desktop Session 3 (JDS3).
I have to install a few true type fonts (.ttf) to the machine and make it accessible in the gnome-terminal. I have the font files, that is .ttf files, in my system, but they are not installed.
Could you please give me the procedure to achieve this? Should I install any patches for this?
Regards,
SreeramHello Lubos Kocman,
Thanks for your reply. I followed your suggestion and put the .ttf fonts in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType directory and rebooted the system.
[Actually, you had mentioned to put them in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF directory. But I did not find the TTF directory. Instead I found TrueType directory and so I felt it appropriate to place them here.]
But still I am unable to access and choose those fonts from my gnome-terminal's font list. Have I missed something? The same result was obtained when I placed the fonts in the ~/.fonts directory also. Please guide me if I am doing something wrong.
How do we ensure that the system has recognised the fonts which have been installed newly? Any commands to confirm this? Are there any log files pertaining to fonts, where we can know whether the fonts were recognised by the system, and if not recognised, the reason for the same?
Also, I would like to paste the contents of /etc/release of my system:
Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 27 October 2008
Should I install any patches to this version of Solaris 10 to get the .ttf fonts installed. As mentioned earlier, I am using Java Desktop System, Release 3 desktop.
Kindly guide me in installing/accessing the .ttf fonts.
Regards,
Sreeram -

If you are using hardware RAID with Solaris 10 x86 you have to use pre-Solaris (i.e. on the RAID controller) managment or hope that the manufacturer of the device has a Solaris managment agent/interface (good luck).
The only exception to this that I know of is the RAID that comes with V20z, V40z, X4100, X4200.
Otherwise you will want to go with SVM or VxVM and manage RAID within Solaris (software RAID).
SMC etc are only going to show you stuff if SVM is involved and VxVM has its own interface, otherwise the disks are controlled by PERC and just hanging out as far as Solaris is concerned.
Hope this helps. -

How to increase the size of /opt solaris 10 x86
Solaris 10 X86, /opt runs out space, would anyone please tell me how to increase the size of /opt?
The Solaris is installed on the whole disk, and I believe there are still some free hard disk space available somewhere.
I need step by step guidance please.
thanks.Hi
Looks like you have installed your Solaris 10 on traditional UFS disk partitions and not using the ZFS whole disk. If so then you need to resize de underlying partition using the format command and then run the growfs to resize the /opt. -
