Increase Sunos 5.8 Major Number

Hai,
I am Developing Device Driver For SunOs 5.8.
I want to Add more then 100 Device Driver in My Server.
But, Server Giving this "No available major numbers."
Now, How will increase this Major Number Count.
Sun Os is having any configuration for this ?

Hi,
A reboot will get you an additional 30 major numbers.
'max # in /etc/name_to_major + 30'.
If you had no holes in the major number space,this would allow you to add up to 30 drivers without rebooting the system.
If you need more, rebooting will do the same thing (30 + the new max)."

How to get sd major number from my driver

Hi,
I have a specific question. I have a driver (mydriver) that acts like a filter driver.
When it receives IO from the file system through strategy() routine, it wants
to replace its b_edev with that of sd device instance. mydriver creates minor
nodes exactly as sd driver. All I need is to know what is the major number
of sd driver. How do I do this programmatically through mydriver?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to develop a "filter driver" at the file system level for Solaris to get the statistics of some of I/O calls send to a SCSI device. It exists between the VFS and the file-system-dependent layer. Does anyone has experience in developing such a "pseudo file system module". Please share your experience and suggestions.
Initially I was thinking to develop this by getting the "st" major number. That is the reason it is been posted as a reply to this query.
Thanks in advance

Can I change the SD's major number ?

Hi,
I need to perform a test scenario where SD's [the default scsi driver provided by Solaris ] major number is greater than some specific value [say 255] . I am wondering if it is OK to just change the value of major number of the SD in /etc/name_to_major and follow it with reboot -r ...
Would it work or I may end-up making the machine unbootable ?
Has someone already tried this ..
Advance Thanks for any useful suggestions,

What is the standard naming of a "good" alias? Can you give me a good format sample?
What if I make the number "100" as the alias? Would it be possible?Off the top of my head I can't think of anything that would cause greater confusion.
Did you try?
You can't create a numeric alias that is different to the application ID. Other than an alias that is identical to the app ID, aliases must be valid Oracle identfiers.

"No major number for ifp"

Hi Folks,
I have an Ultra30 running Solaris 9 09/05 HW
Recently when booting it has started displaying a warning message...
WARNING: add_spec: No major number for ifpThis doesn't seem to prevent the machine booting & it seems to run OK.
Any ideas what might be causing this, and what needs to be done to stop it?
Thanks & Regards

Need to increase length of the check number

Hi Gurus,
When i am trying to increase the length of the check number from 7 digits to 8 digits. I am getting the error message FIBL664. could you please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance....
Ramanjaneyulu

Dear Ramanjaneyulu,
There are several checks concerning the structure, the length of check number etc. before creating new check lot. As the message FIBL664 says, the structure of check number for the new check lot does not correspond to the check lots created earlier. It is supposed that the lots of one bank have the same length of check number and structure.
However, if you want to create this check lot with such characteristics you can setup the message FIBL664 to 'S' or turn it off using transaction SM30 and view V_T100C.
This is not a Controlling issue, but an FI issue. If you need more information, I'd suggest opening a message in the forum of ERP Financials.

How to increase the size and the number of log files

OS Win2000 BD version Oracle8.0.5
When i Execute a big Transaction, for example: Insert into a table with 100,000 records,
Oracle tell me that archive log require,
but I write log_archive_start =true in init.ora;
I think Maybe the size of log file too small?
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

Hello Long Guohui,
If your Database is running in Archive Log mode and if the Automatic Archiving is not enable then obviously Oracle
will ask that "Archive Log Required".
But if your Database is running with NoArchive Log mode then Oracle should never ask you that "Archive Log Required".
If your Database is running with Archive Log Mode then Oracle always recommends that the Tablespace where
you are going to Insert the 1,00,000 records, make that Tablespace Mode from Logging to Nologging, so that
Archive will not be generated for those entries because Redo does not Generate for that Tablespace as it is
Running in Nologging mode. If Redo generates for those 1,00,000 entries then it may affect the other DML
executing in you Database. So it is always recommended to do like this. But after the Insertion is done
successfully Oracle recommends immediately takes the Back of that Tablespace where you have just
Inserted 1,00,000 Data.
For making a Tablespace Nologging:
ALTER TABLESPACE <TABLESPACE NAME> NOLOGGING;
For Making a Database from NoArchive to Archive:
1) SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
2) IN THE init<sid>.ora FILE SET THE FOLLOWING PARAMETER WITH VALUE:
LOG_ARCHIVE_START = TRUE
3) STARTUP MOUNT
4) ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVE LOG
5) ALTER DATABASE OPEN

Latency increase with large number of databases

Hello,
I'm testing how BDB performs on random updates as the number of databases increases. I'm seeing increase in latency as the number of databases goes up. and strace shows that more time is spent on futex() when there are more databases. Is this an expected behavior?
Thanks!

Hi James,
Presently, we never evict a DB after it's opened or encountered during recovery. Each DB takes about 2,000 bytes. So if you have 16K DBs you need approximately 32MB of memory, assuming all of them could be opened or recovered during a process lifetime. Unfortunately, even closing them does not cause them to be evicted. If you encounter them during recovery, this will also pull them into memory.
We have an FAQ entry on this:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/faq/je_faq.html#37
So you will need a bigger cache size. If you are encountering this during recovery, then you could try a more frequent checkpoint interval.
I hope this is useful.

Clone device major/minor number?

hi all,
say 'y' is the clone of 'x'(pseudo device) and after add_drv if i observe in /devices/pseudo the y's minor number is equal to major number of x ,correctly as per framework.That means minor numbers are unique for both.
But whereas in the driver module when i tried to
display the major/minor number using getmajor() and
getminor() functions in open routine, it is showing
the same minor/major numbers for both the devcies.
Why?
i tried to open the devices one after the other
without closing the first device.
say
open("/dev/x" O_RDWR);
open("/dev/y" O_RDWR);
any help will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance
vasu

//need more info on this.......what are these x and y? how did you create them? and how are they linked to your pseudo minor nodes in /devices/pseudo directory .
if x and y are symbolically linked to the same minor nodes, then you get the same major and minor numbers.

Increasing length of equvalnce number (BADI/field exits)

Hi friends,
Currently I have one requirement in which
I need to increase the length the Equivalnce number which is present on Apportonment to Co-products tab on Costing tab of material master.
Path for same is given below,
"Material Matser" screen >> "Costing1" Tab >> Click on "Joint Production" Button (it will bring to Cost Apportonment to Co-products:Apportionment Structures screen ) >> Click on "Equivalnce Numbers" ( it will bring to Cost Apportonment to Co-products:Equivalnce Numbers screen)
Currently length of euivalncve number (last column) is 3 as standard,In my requirnment I will have to increase the length.
How it could been done ? With field exits or BADI.
Regards,
Amit

Hi,
SAP provides as 18 charcter by default.
You can even use the reference field of House bank to put extra digits.
Account number BANKN - 18 + Reference info REFZL - 4.
While exporting the data use functional module CONVERT_HOUSEBANK_ACCOUNT_NUM and pass data in this.
This solution is valid only where you have new developments but need to check SAP standard reports for the flexibility.

Sequence file Version number. How to prevent the automatic resetting build version number whilst auto-incrementing revision number?

Hi,
I've got my environment set this way that each save of the sequence file increase the revision part of version number. However, during that increase the build counter is reset to 0. How to prevent it?
TS 4.2

Mimi,
It is pretty common practice in software revisioning to reset a minor number to 0 when a major moves up 1. There are many different schemes out there. If you google or bing software versioning schemes you'll see what I'm talking about.
So looking at it from left to right: Major.Minor.Revision.Build = 0.0.0.1
if you change the Revision it would be expected that anything to the right (in this case Build) would reset to 0. 0.0.1.0!
Let's say your version is 8.34.56.23. It would make sense that if you were to change the Major number (which means a Major release) to 9 then your version would go to: 9.0.0.0.
A version number is just a unique way to tell someone which specific software you are using so it really doesn't matter that it resets to 0. Although it makes sense because if you kept your build number sequential and didn't reset it then it would get outrageously larger which would be more annoying than anything.
Again this is common accepted practice in industry.
Good Luck,
jigg

Sudden increase in 'stuck spindle' drive failures in Enterprise

I'm trying to wrap my head around a sudden increase in drive failures (non-system or disk error \ drive no longer detected in BIOS). We've had a total of 6 drives suddenly fail in the past 3 days, we typically have less than that fail in an ENTIRE year. I tested 4 of these drives and all 4 had the 5 beeps \ siren sounding error code (see stuck spindle audio in the link below). http://datacent.com/hard_drive_sounds.php I have a hard time believing this is a legitimate hardware issue but is it even possible for something to trigger a 'false-positive' condition? To rule out a voltage spike or electrical damage these drives\PC's that exhibit these issues are spread throughout 3 different physical locations in different states. There have been numerous deep scanning security products pushed to these PC's in the past 2 months, more than I can even list. Is it possible that somehow one of these products are corrupting the firmware on these drives to cause this? List of products I'm aware of that are on these systems : McAfee HIPsMcAfee AgentMcAfee Deep CommandMcAfee VirusScan Enterprise Newest products :Digital GuardianTanium ClientenCaseFireAMP Thanks!

I'm no drive expert but 18 drives failing since August with the same problem and they all had your "deep scan security" stuff applied on them? It seems to me the problem is something with your software that is doing a major number on those drives like nothing else, have you tried just running them without all that "security agent" junk? It makes sens that if you alone have experinced this kind of failure that if it was a problem with the drives themselves hundreds or thousands of people would be complaining of the same problem. I've run my WD drives hard for 18 years in many machines and I've never had even one fail in any way, but then I run them on Mac machines and none of them use any of those "deep scan" security agents, Norton or any of that other stuff.

In WL 6.1 SP4 random value updated in NUMBER column

Our application used to update a NUMBER(15) column in Oracle with current time
in milliseconds.
After migrating from SP3 to SP4 I observed that ORA-01438 was being thrown during
the update intermittently.
Increasing the size to default NUMBER, I observed that the values getting inserted
are sometime random like 59, 81 digits long!
The update code just does a prepared statement and does setObject of a java.lang.Long.
I am using the oracle thin driver in oracle's classes12.zip.
I am sure that this is happening since using SP4, have anyone faced similar problems?

We have changed default thin driver to 920 from 817 in 610sp4. If you are using 817
dbserver, please put 817 classes12.zip in your classpath before weblogic.jar and you will
be ok.

Appricate you help.
Thanks,

Hi,
you can set the number of members that will be displayed in target group.
Go to any profile group -> open the graphical modelling -> open settings.
Here you can ajust the displayed number of members in a targetgroup.
These settings are user-dependent and saved in table CRMD_MKTTG_PERS.

Number range buffer - can this really be? SAP BW 710

Hello everone,
hope you are fine!
I am looking for some real light into the number range buffering
I have extracted 2 Million data from DS 0PCA_EC_3 into a standard DSO which took inititally 13 h. (14 h in Production)
Now I figured the InfoObjects with high number range levels and enabled the buffering there.
The result is - which I can not believe at the moment and thats why I am looking first for answers before I disable the number range buffering and ran again into 13 h load - that the load took plus activation 45 MINUTES!!!!!
The Questions are:
1. Can this be possible that the performance increase so dramatically due to number range buffering?
I have not checked the SM66 for selection to table NRIV at the initial run
2. If this is realy the reason do I have to transport the settings I did in SNRO?
3. What if I decide not to use the number range buffering after some loads, is it easy to disable again without any data issue?
Thanks really for your input these are much appreciated.
bye Ömer

Hi everyone,
is there no one who can at least share his/her experience with number range buffering?
thanks for any input on this.
bye Ömer
