Install newest JRE on Solaris 9 Sparc (64-bit)

Note: This message has also been posted on the JRE forum. This is the second attempt to post it here.
I would like to know the best method to replace the JRE that is installed with a Solaris 9 (SPARC) installation. A clean installation of Solaris 9 comes with JRE 1.4 and I would prefer 1.4.1 (64-bit) or newer. Sun provides self-extracting archive downloads of the latest JREs for Solaris, but I have been unsuccessful in using these. I followed the instructions at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-solaris.html
for doing a self-extracting installation, but this does not replace the contents of /usr/j2se with the new JRE. Additionally a pkginfo still points to the old JRE. I also read the instructions at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/install-solaris-64.html
which stated I should install the 32-bit version, and then the 64-bit version. Finally, both set of instructions mention installation from packages, yet I am unable to find the packages to download. What is the best method to remove the JRE from a Solaris installation and install a newer version of the JRE so the pkginfo is updated and the new JRE resides in /usr/j2se? Any assistance is appreciated.

I found by issue "mount -v" that our disk slices are
UFS type. So we don't need apply patch 5257399,
right? Please confirm. Thanks!!!For your information, you are asking the user community to confirm, not Oracle. Some (many?) of us are not employed by Oracle.

10.2.0.3 on solaris 9(Sparc 64 bit), patch 5257399 needed or not?

We are going to install oracle 10.2.0.3 on a Solaris 9 (Sparc 64 bit) box. According to Note 406472.1, Mandatory Patch 5752399 is needed for 10.2.0.3 on Solaris 64-bit and Filesystems Managed By Veritas or Solstice Disk Suite software. Our system is not on SAN, only local disks, so I'm sure we don't use veritas file system. But I'm not sure if we still use Solstice Disk Suite software. Sun said that in Solaris 9, Solstice Disk Suite is renamed to Solaris volume manager and it is bundled in Solaris 9. Does this mean Solaris 9 is using Solstice Disk Suite by default and we have to apply patch 5752399?
How can I verify which file manager we are using? (Our sys adm is not quite sure).
If we apply the patch no matter we really need it or not, what impact to the system?
Please advise. Thanks!

Xvfb on Solaris 8 (SPARC 32 bit)

Hello,
We need to run an Oracle server that needs a Virtual Frame Buffer. We need to set DISPLAY variable set on the system. Opening an xhost is not a solution for us because it is not in the security policy.
Any pointers or docs are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Arun.

CF9 w/ Solaris 10 (Sparc, 64-bit): Problems with mod_jrun22.so

Hi
We're running a Solaris (Sparc) box and installed Apache 2.2.16 and ColdFusion9 on our system. When starting ColdFusion the first time, the shell script "apache_connector.sh" installs the mod_jrun22.so (must be the successor of mod_coldfusion.so) and adds the required section in the httpd.conf file just fine. (well, after fixing the script... ^^)
The problem arises when starting Apache next time:
httpd: Syntax error on line 414 of /usr/local/httpd-2.2.16/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /opt/coldfusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so into server:
ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
Apparently, this module was compiled with gcc, which we didn't install on our Sun system.
Does anyone know whether there's a module available which doesn't depend on gcc libraries under Solaris?
So far we've compiled everything with Suns compiler Sun Studio 12.0. The reason behind this is that we're using CFX-tags and our shared library uses C/C++ and embedded SQL for Oracle 11g (yes, we're old school ^^). And since Oracle 11g officially only supports Sun Studio 12.0 when using embedded SQL, we're trying to compile everything with this compiler.
Sure we could install gcc (or at least a runtime-component containing libgcc_s.so.1), but I'm wondering now whether we'll run into problems later when using our C++ library which was compiled with Sun Studio 12.0.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!

We have our EBS 12.0.6 on Sun Solaris SPARC 64 bit. There are few hp printer (hp laserjet p2015dn) configured with our application and they are working fine.
Now we have to add one more printer but ( hp laserjet p2015dn) is not available now.
So please suggest the hp laserjet printer available for Solaris 10 Sparc 64 bit.You already have the same type of printer configured and it is working properly, so I would say it is supported.
What is the difference between the two printers configuration?
Can you print from the OS to the new printer?
What do you mean by "not available now"?
Thanks,
Hussein

1. whats the significance of the "oracle[7332]: [ID 566193 user.error] n2a get_local_info: ioctl (get interface flags): Interrupted system call" message in the OS log?
2. Does this message get stops on applying of patch # 8477122 ?
Thank you,

There are a number of known issues with the 10g agent on Solaris and patches are available. I assume you are running the 10.2.0.5 agent since you reference patch 8477122. If this is a brand new agent installation i would start with applying the latest PSU update which contains many related fixes. If you are still getting the error after this, open an SR with Oracle Support with your specific error message.

JRE 6.0 update 1 for Solaris 10 sparc 64 bit

Will jre 6.0 come out as a patch for Solaris 10 sparc? Or should I install it from the Java download site (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)? I currently have jre 5.0.11 (patches 118666-11 and 118667-11).
Thanks.....

sparc? Or should I install it from the Java download
site (http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)? I
currently have jre 5.0.11 (patches 118666-11 and
118667-11).Yes, it's out for 6u1, or should be out by now, as sparc (125136-01 & 125137-01)
and x86 (125138-01 & 125139-01).
You cannot patch your way from 5.0 to 6. You need to install the 6 packages, and then you can install the 6u1 patch. (or you could just install the 6u1 packages, and patch from that point onward).
As to the later question, yes, there isn't a formal JRE patch, but SUNWj6rt is essentially the runtime component of the JDK, so if you just had SUNWj6rt & SUNWj6cfg installed, you would have the equivalent of a JRE, though it still would be installed in a JDK directory. If you have just those two packages installed, then you could use 125136-01 as a JRE patch, since it will only update what installed. Oh yes, I forgot about the 64bit component to the runtime, SUNWj6rtx. If you intend on running the JRE in 64bit mode (-d64), you'd need SUNWj6rtx as well.

Installing JDS 3 on Solaris 10 SPARC previously running CDE

Does anyone have experience of installing JDS3 on SPARC architectures? Most of the posts seem to relate to x86. I'm having trouble installing JDS3 from the Solaris 6/06 distribution.
I have a jumpstart config which starts with a SUNWCrnet and adds the minimum to provide a CDE with XDM log in. We thought we'd try JDS3 so I've expanded the profile to include all packages in the Sol10 6/06 distribution which are marked as belonging to the GNOME2 or JDS3 categories.
This gives the option for selecting JDS from the login session menu. The desktop comes up ok but then we get error messages:
'Failed to execute child process "xscreensaver" '
Attempting to start any application from any menu results in the following message:
'Cannot launch entry
Details: Text was empty (or contained only white space)'
I can't even open a terminal.
It looks like a major piece of configuration data is missing but I'm not sure where to start looking.
Any help for an old SPARC head gratefully received.

Xscreensaver needs to have both /usr/openwin/bin and /usr/X11/bin in the user's $PATH. Add the line:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X11/bin
in your .profile and that should do it for you.

[Answered] List of patches for Solaris 10 SPARC 64 bit!

Hi All,
Installation document for 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit) does not mention anything about patches required on Solaris 10 (there is a list for Solaris 8 and 9).
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15690/pre_install.htm#sthref110
Can I safely assume that the installation of Solaris 10 contains all the required patches in this case?
Thanks,
Edited by: Satish Kandi on Nov 19, 2008 10:21 AM

Hi Satish,
I did not have access to ORACLE metalink so could not able check the doc which you reffered. But Checked the ORACLE installation doc, I suppose that is the required patches for 8 and 9 which you have to make sure of on Solaris 10.
Other wise wait and see for other inputs too.
Hemanth might reply back some thing.

Solaris 10 Sparc - 64-bit jdk/jre in use?

Hello,
I have the latest version of Java jre/jdk installed on by Sun, including the 64-bit Java in the sparcv9 directories (/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/sparcv9). All the Java programs are in their default locations, and I have not changed any symlinks from the default values.
When I enter "which java," I get this result:
/bin/java
which is a symlink to /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/java
The 64-bit executables lie in the sparcv9 directory, however, so I am not sure if I am running the 64-bit java or the 32-bit. How can I be sure that I am running the 64-bit executables? I shouldn't have to re-make the symlinks in /bin to point to the sparcv9 directories, do I?
Thank you..........

No, you don't need to change symlinks. If you run in the 64 bit model, the binary can relaunch the 64 bit version.
# truss -t exec java -d64 -version
execve("/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/java", 0xFFBFFE0C, 0xFFBFFE1C) argc = 3
execve("/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/sparcv9/java", 0x00031E18, 0x00032AD8) argc = 2
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)
Here the 32 bit java relaunched the 64 bit binary.

How to install puppet agent on solaris 10 sparc

I would like to know how to install and configure puppet on solaris 10 sprc

Proxy configurations are most often done within the application software that needs that function and not necessarily done in the OS. That permits you to make very specific settings and not just generic global settings that could conflict with other software.
Can you tell us what research you have done on the topic?
For example, have you glanced through a Google search on "solaris web proxy" ?
If you are hoping to use a specific web server application your forum post might be better placed in a forum space for that software instead of in a general OS forum space. What application software will you be using?
