Info on Sun Ultra10 Servers, Just to be sure.

Hello ppl,
Just a couple of questions on the Ultra10 systems as i'm new to them, bare with me, k.
1, Tryed to gain access to the bios using F2 but no luck, can anyone help?
2, Is the bios firmware, is that right..? and where to get upgrades if needed?
3, I need to install new HDD's to the servers, is there a capacity limit(solaris 9 to be installed), do i need a bios upgrade/firmware..? I have downloaded the installation guides and from the look of them from the inside the HDD's just look like standard IDE devices.
Any help/links would be most appreciated, thankyou for you time...

1) The Ultra-10 is not a PeeCee.
There is no BIOS.
2) Sun System Handbook.
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/U10/U10.html
There is a link on that page for the OBP flash update patch.
Don't do it until you know what you're doing.
Note the additional link on that page for the system's Documentation.
3) Read these forums --- all the hardware forums.
Go back through about a year of posts. That should take weeks to accomplish.
The IDE controller on the systemboard has a 28-bit LBA drive size limitation.
You will only gat a nominal 137GB or less, with the internal drives.

  • Experiences with Sun T2000 servers on SAP systems

    Hello,
    We are currently involved in a project to migrate our SAP systems from a Windows 2003 to a Solaris 10 platform.  Our application server layer will be based on Sun T2000 servers for both ABAP and Java stacks.
    I would be interested in hearing from anyone using T2000s in the application server layer to understand their perception of the performance of these systems.
    Thanks in advance,
    Brendan Byrne

    We have actually solved the issues sourrounding performance on sun multi threaded servers.
    What you need to do is create a 'Zone' on the solaris server and then allocate resources to the zone.
    Then sap seems to fly.
    This is fully supported by the way.
    Just set this up with NW7 on a T2000 and some T5120's
    Basically what occurs is that you setup SAP on one zone.
    You then allocate the full 64cpus to this zone, as well as the 32/64gb of ram.
    SAP runs as one thread within the zone, but the zone then allocates this thread across all the cpus.
    Works like a dream,
    Regards
    James

    You are right, Adobe does not support CS5 because it is no longer sold.
    Simply download the trial version of CS5 from this Adobe web site and input your serial number.

  • HT1399 When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks

    When I import a CD to itunes, it splits the album in to multiple entries. I have changed the info on some but others just will not merge. Is there an easy way to do this and can I stop them from splitting in future? Thanks

    Okay this is what fixed my problem. Some kind of error/glitch occured half-way through importing that third cd that prevented further imports from any other cd. Once I completely removed the half-imported cd album from my library I could further import cd's without any problems.

  • Oracle DB on new SUN T5440 servers - any experience?

    I get SUN people all over me to try their new T series...
    Has anyone deployed or tested ODB on SUN T5440 servers?
    Does it show any inprovement against the older M4000 or Sunfire systems (i/o, multi-threading, CPU utilization ... etc') ?
    Thank you in advance

    This is one approach. Might I suggest that if they are so hot to get you to buy one of these boxes that you try it another way ...
    1. Ask them for a list of references in your area.
    2. Ask them to deliver one to you for 60 days, no charge, for eval.
    My experience with my apps and my workload may be very different from yours. Also, once it is in your possession you find not
    only determine the relevant metrics but it becomes a "used" box if you decide to purchase it.
    PS: Oracle is now in the process of purchasing Sun and that might be a good thing.
    Except that Oracle also wants to keep on very good terms with Dell, HP and IBM so Sun may be expendable.
    Do you really want to make a decision about Sun until you see more of Oracle's cards on the table?
    I would be highly inclined to wait until after OpenWorld.

    Go to Crucial.com and use one of their two methods to determine what upgrades are available for your Mac:
    I would purchase the modules from Crucial as they are very reliable and wiill work with you if you have problems.

  • MAX says visa32.dll not found in WINNT\system32 directory. File is there, have reinstalled and rebooted just to be sure. Same error.

    MAX says visa32.dll not found in WINNT\system32 directory. File is there, have reinstalled and rebooted just to be sure. Same error. Why?

    Hi,
    What version of VISA are you using? What version of MAX?. What OS are you using?
    You can try using the lastest version, NI-VISA 3.0. The installer also includes the lastest version of MAX (3.0). The installer can be found in the Driver and Updates >> NI-VISA

  • TS1424 I usually listen to a full 30 seconds of a song if I think I want to buy it just to make sure. All of a sudden I am only getting a 5 second clip so I've stopped buying for now. Ideas?

    I usually listen to a full 30 seconds of a song if I think I want to buy it just to make sure. All of a sudden I am only getting a 5 second clip so I've stopped buying for now. Ideas?

    Depending on which country's store you are in, the previews are supposed to be either 30 or 90 seconds. 
    The last few days there have been several posts here that they are not getting the full preview.  There is certainly no setting to control that, so I suppose the problem is at the store. 
    My suggestion is to try again in a few days, or to purchase from another online music download retailer.

  • Anyone added a  modem to M4000  / SUN M5000 servers  - via xscf  or other ?

    Hi,
    Have any of you lads attempted to add a std analogue modem to an M class server, on older sun boxes the procedure is clear [ dedicated serial port, use tip with standard settings ] But for modern servers, cannot find any documentation on sunsolve or in server manuals etc - everything is for older class boxes where the procedure is clear.
    New M class boxes have no serial port, the only option is the RJ 45 serial connector on the xscf console card.
    I can connect to the port [ get "connected response from tip ], which is the default local serial console. But cannot get any response from the modem. Tried all sorts of cable combinations. The port is successfully configured for modem dial out. And if i take the modem off a normal terminal console window works fine if i re-enable the console service on the port. I have tried deleting and re-adding the standard ports and their associated port monitor services
    Note i am only trying to get a response from basic AT commands not trying to configure PPP or a remote console or anything.
    Dying to hear from someone who has done it and configured a modem to respond over this port. I assume this is /dev/term/0 or /dev/tty/a.
    Can anyone let me know if i have missed something basic or need a non standard cable

    For those interested, Sun support confirmed it is not possible and suggested it was a bit of a silly request. Though i did state the request was born out of hard core experience, when we completely lost our console and standard networks for 16 hours rendering the xscf card useless

  • Cannot find any information on this Sun Server I just got

    Hi, Just got this Sun Server and I cant find in the Sun knowledgebase or support section.
    The box is approx 50cm x 50 cm and 6cm high.
    On the back it has 2 Network ports, Lom Serial A & B ports and a pci card with 4 Lan ports.
    Font face plate states Webshield eppliance.
    Label on back states: Compliance model number: FJ1A and Part Number 263-0819-01.
    I have tried hookin up to the serial port with a RJ45 to db9 cable but nothing happens. Perhaps I have the wrong terminal settings entered.
    Maybe this unit is known by another name. I would really like to find all the relevant user guides and how-to documents though.
    Any help appreciated.

    A brief Google search suggests that Network Associates may have acquired a bunch of systems and remanufactured and re-labelled them as their own product. That means it no longer would be a Sun system, but is a Network Associates' product.
    If indeed it is a 1U formfactor as you described, then the closest comparable Sun system might be the Netra T1 105 (360MHz or possibly 440MHz cpu).
    Go to Docs.Sun.Com and get the T1 105's documentation and see if you can make it work.
    I hope you didn't pay very much - in fact almost nothing.
    It's old and slow.
    Solaris 8 would be about the newest OS that wouldn't burden it with overhead.

  • Security info propagation across weblogic servers

    Hi,
    I have a requirement wherein my biz layer needs info abt logged in user profile. the web layer authenticates user using weblogic internal ldap and calls session bean of biz layer. In the biz layer i m able to retrieve the loggedin userid using sessionContext.getCallerPrincipal(). But i do need more info like user_preferences,emp_id as well. Is there a way of setting these attributes in Context obj which gets propagated across weblogic servers transparently. Otherwise i need to modify all my session bean api to accept userPreferencesDTO as additional parameter.
    Please advise,

  • HT1277 Mail Servers just dissappeared thanks to iPhoto.....

    I've just upgraded to 10.8.3 and used Iphoto for the first time to send some photos, it deleted all of my outgoing servers! The email accounts are still there (I have three setup) however there is nothing under the Outgoing Mail Servers Tab. Help?!

    Ok I've reinstated all of the outgoing mail servers, I still find it very concerning and it would appears there's a serious bug in iphoto for this to occur.
