I cann't telnet to Sun v100 running Solaris 8

Hello,
I tried login to WebServer (Sun v100, Solaris 8). I could not telnet to it. I don't know what cause the problem. I installed the WebServer6.1 into it (sun v100 Box). However, I need to access to the Box in order to turn the WebServer 6.1 on or off. Do you know where should I look for it? I cannot ping it on the dos command because it is not response. Any thought would be greatly appreciated.

It may work out the box - however, do you really want to be in the position where if it stops working you have no-one to call?
Don't underestimate the "this isn't supported" statement.

Parallel port programming for a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8

Hi I'm trying to look for information about reading/writing to the parallel port of a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. I'd just like to see some basic programs written in C, nothing fancy, just reading and wrting to the port, getting the port address etc. toggling the lines.
I've tried searching for this information and there is plenty of information about PC parallel port programming with windows or Linux. But there seems to be little for Sun's
I've tried doing 'man ecpp' but that doesn't really give any clear example. What I need is an idiots guide.
I've tried searching this Forum and I see that other people have asked the same question before but no one has replied to them. Why is this?
Thanks if you can help.
fishman.

The key is gettting the port into diag mode. Here's a quickly little example that turns all the data pins on and then turns them off:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/conf.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stropts.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/ecppio.h>
int fd = 0;
// ecpp structures
ecpp_transfer_parms etp;
ecpp_regs eregs;
// returns -1 if error otherwise returns fd
int openoutput()
fd = open("/dev/ecpp0",O_RDWR);
if (fd==-1) { return -1; }
// default is 90
etp.write_timeout = 10;
// the big secret
etp.mode = ECPP_DIAG_MODE;
ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_SETPARMS,&etp);
return fd;
unsigned char in()
unsigned char data;
// from the man pages
ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_GETREGS,&eregs);
data = eregs.dsr;
return data;
void out( unsigned char data )
write(fd,&data,1);
int main( void )
int dummy;
openoutput();
//all data pins on
out( 255 );
scanf("%d", &dummy);
//all data pins off
out( 0 );
scanf("%d", &dummy);
close( fd );
return 0;
}

Boot problem for Ultra 60 running Solaris 9

I have a Sun Ultra 60 which, until the beginning of this month, was running Solaris 9 just fine. Following an emergency stop, the system refused to boot. At the ok prompt the boot command drew the response
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0 file and args:
after which the system would hang, responding only to a mechanical power-off. The command boot -F failsafe gives the response
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0 file and args -F failsafe
Boot load failed
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable
after which the system returns the ok prompt without hanging, but without booting either. All OpenBoot (v. 3.23) test and diagnostic commands return normal responses.
Raising the diag-level to max, changing the diag-device to disk, and setting diag-switch? to true gets the same responses, with the following additional information:
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk0,0 File and args -F failsafe
Loading ufs-file-system package 1.4. 04 Aug 1995 13:02:54
FCode UFS Reader 1.12 00/07/17 15:48:16
Loading: /platform/SUNW, Ultra-60/failsafe
Loading: /platform/sun4u/failsafe
Boot load failed
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable
after which the system returns the ok prompt without booting.
Some fixes which do not work: I tried booting from CD, either the Solaris 9 software CDs or the Solaris 8 software CDs (obtained directly from Sun); these yield
Redirected to slice: 1
Loading: /platform/SUNW, Ultra-60/ufsboot
Loading: /platform/sun4u/ufsboot
after which the system hangs (only mechanical shutoff works), or if the flag -F failsafe is used, the failsafe file is loaded, ``the file just loaded does not appear to be executable,'' and the system returns the ok prompt. I also tried making a bootable floppy disk by installing a bootblock, the ufsboot executable, and the kernel/unix executable from a working SunBlade 150 onto a floppy. The command boot floppy works as above, and can be forced to load the ufsboot file from the floppy, but ``the file just loaded does not appear to be executable''; the system returns the ok prompt without booting, but at least without hanging.
Presumably this is a bootblock problem, or an OpenBoot problem. But how can I restore a system (restore what?) which will not boot in the first place? Any advice is much appreciated.

Some additional information which may (or may not) shed light on this problem: If the system hangs with diag-switch? set to true, then powering off and back on becomes rather difficult. The power-on led on the front panel may flash for several minutes, with no display on the monitor. If there is no CD in the cdrom drive and no floppy in the floppy drive, the led goes off (the system is on--I can hear the hard drives spinning) for about a minute, after which the test lights on the SCSI peripherals light up, and the monitor comes on. It shows a long series of ``Probing ... '' lines which look normal, followed by the usual banner, followed by ``Resetting memory at ...,'' which runs through a series of addresses. This is followed by ``Power On Self Test Failed Cause: SIMM U0701,'' then the usual ok prompt. Then all the OpenBoot commands except boot appear to operate normally. So--
1) Is this a hardware failure of one of the system's DIMM memory cards? Would that, in itself, account for the failure to boot, both from disk and from CD?
2) If so, and replacing this card would solve the problem, is the required DIMM a generic item or a component specific to the Ultra 60?
Any advice is much appreciated.

Is it possible to make a DVD rom work on Sparc Ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6?

I have been asked to try and get a DVD drive to work on a sparc ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6.
Its been a while since I have done much with an ultra 5. My first reaction was no. However I thought that I should ask just in case it can be done.
Its got to be Solaris 2.6 because of other applications running on it. I believe that the DVD has been installed using an IDE cable.
Can anybody give me any advice?
Thanks
Phil

I have a vague recollection that the filesystem structure of DVD versus CD
(and perhaps its capacity differences... )
I said the recollection was vague...
are why the DVD optical media was not functional or usable.until Solaris 8.
Try an experiment.
Put such a drive into the system, get a copy of CDRTOOLS for Solaris 2.6(SPARC)
[http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc26.html]
and see if you can do anything with it.
Better yet, suggest to the system's owner that they go do it.
It'd be a learning experience for them.
I agree with Harold that Sol10 would be too much for that beastie.
The sweet spot was Solaris 7 or 8.
Edit: ... and give the Duke Stars to Harold.

This is more of a directory server question as it's the directory server failing to start and not the Messaging server.
But, if you do the following in the /lib directory what is the output?
#file libsh.co

How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?

Hi All,
How can I edit /etc/mnttab file of a running Solaris 10 Machine?
Any ideas, solution, suggestions.
Regards,
Rahul.

Hello Roach,
First, thanks for your quick response.
I am using a Solaris 10 (Sparc ) machine , I want to make sure that no set uid programs get executed in /tmp partition.
Currently I am modifying the value in /etc/vfstab to and adding the value in Mount Options as nosetuid, and restarting the system as a result when the system is rebooted the /etc/mnttab entry is populated accordingly and setuid programs are not executed in /tmp partition.
But I want to avoid the reboot.
I am planning to update the /etc/vfstab as well as /etc/mnttab file directly so that the reboot can be avoided.
I found some function related to /etc/mnttab i.e
(i)getmntent
(ii)resetmnttab
I will go into more details about it now

Rahul.

Port 135 and 25913 and how to run Solaris Container Manager?

What are these ports 135 and 25913 and how to I run Solaris Container Manager .
thanks

Hi Zeealee,

The features of Solaris Container Manager (SCM) have now almost been entirely superseded by [Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center|http://www.oracle.com/us/products/enterprise-manager/opscenter/index.html] (forum here), but if you're still looking to try SCM, the manual can be found here, and if you said "yes" to SCM when you installed your SunMC Server, then you should see it in your SunMC web interface:
https://<sunmc_server>:6789 --> SunMC 4.0 --> Manage Solaris Container
If you'd like a demo of how you perform Container/LDOM operations in Ops Center, let me know and I'll set it up.

Running Solaris 11 from a USB drive with persistent changes - possible?

I am wanting to use Solaris 11 as the basis of a NAS for home use; the hardware is a HP N40L Microserver populated with 5 HDDs. As all of these HDDs will be used for data storage in a zpool configuration, I have no more physical space (without further hacks) inside the case for an additional OS drive. Therefore, I am wondering if it is possible to run Solaris 11 from a fast USB flash drive. I know there is a live USB image, but AFAIK, any configuration changes made when running this will not remain after a reboot - is this correct? And if so, is there any way to make the changes persistent?
The only discussion I could find on this subject is this thread from a couple of years ago: https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2235078 - but I don't think the guy got a definitive answer.

Running the important rpool on USB stick is not my favorite configuration. I would recommend reducing your data pool down to 4 devices and putting your root pool on the 5th disk. People ask about this in the datacenter and I wrote a best practice for it, which is not to use a USB stick for rpool, here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26502_01/html/E29007/zfspools-4.html#gentextid-12349
Your data is important, but the root pool is very important for keeping your data available. In the datacenter, we also worried that rack vibration might wiggle the stick right out of the drive. For home use, I've heard about pets jumping on boxes and disconnecting disk cables. Sounds paranoid, but I've seen it/heard it all.
There is no reason why you can't put rpool on a USB stick, some operations might not be easy (see Dave's post), but I don't think its the best choice for optimal data availability.
Thanks, Cindy

Is there any way to login to a system running Solaris 10 if you do not have the login credentials?

I am trying to help a company that has inherited a Sunfire v245 running Solaris 10. It is connected to a RAID array that contains backup files for a branch that was closed. No one appears to have the name and password to login. Is there any way around this to reset without the original credentials? (Possibly at the command line?).

A Google search on keywords "solaris root password" presented the following Oracle document as the very first result link:
What To Do If You Forgot The Root Password
(There are more than 500,000 more results from that same Google search, if that link isn't sufficient.)

CD Writer on Sun SPARC under Solaris?

Hello gentlemen,
Does it possible to install (external) CD-Writer as the (external) device (SCSI or USB) on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does anybody use it as a real CD-Writer on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does it work on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does it write on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
What /dev/* could I use for CD-Writer?
Some documentation about compatibility of CD-Writers and SPARC/Solaris?
Thanks in advance!

Run solaris 11 on 32 bit oracle VM virtual Box (windows)

Hi All,
Is there any way to run Solaris 11 (64bit only), on a 32 bit windows machine using oracle VM virtual Box ?
Thanks

Excerpt VirtualBox "Hardware vs. software virtualization",
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch10.html#hwvirt
"VirtualBox's 64-bit guest support (added with version 2.0) and multiprocessing (SMP, added with version 3.0) both require hardware virtualization to be enabled. (This is not much of a limitation since the vast majority of today's 64-bit and multicore CPUs ship with hardware virtualization anyway; the exceptions to this rule are e.g. older Intel Celeron and AMD Opteron CPUs.)
You cannot nest HV on HV.

No, the Solaris 10 GA release bits for x64/x86 support:
- 32-bit "x86" cpus (amd & intel)
- 64-bit "x64" cpus (amd opteron, amd athlon 64 with amd64

Hi,
I am trying to install java on a sunfire running solaris 8. I installed the jre and jdk for 1.3XX and it installed with no complaints.
But, when I type java -version. . I get the old version.
Where in solaris do I go to tell the OS to use the new version of the java rather than the old?
Much thanks,
Kelly

Set your PATH variable to point to the latest JRE.

V490 running solaris 9 with warning messages:

I have a V490 running solaris 9 with the full recommended patch cluster and the SFS_base packages (and the additional patches) installed.
Installed in the V490 is 1* SG-XPCI2FC-QF2-Z (dual 2Gb fibre card). On rebooting the v490 the follwing warning appears:
WARNING: fctl: ULP FCSM version mismatch; please upgrade FCSM
Does anyone know if this is a major issue and if so is there a fix?
I have never seem this message before as we usually use the X6768A and maybe there is some difference in the card.

I am having the same issue after installing the card "SG-XPCI1FC-QF4" on V490.
I have opened a ticket.
Is this a major issue or missing patches?.
