Is Perl part of default Solaris Installation ?

I am devloping an application which invokes a few perl scripts during installation. I just want to know:
Is Perl part of default/standard Solaris Installation ?
How safe is it to assume existence of Perl on client-side Solaris System?
Thanks & Regards,
Satish

Perl has been in Solaris in /usr/bin since Solaris 8. I am not completely certain, but I believe it is included in all metaclusters including the minimal Core cluster.

  • Software packages part of the Solaris 10 DVD's ?

    Hi there !
    I need to install an application on a SUN sparc server who needs Solaris 10.
    So I have started the download of the Solaris 10 DVD's to burn them, but I see my application also needs the following software packages :
    Entire distribution plus OEM package
    �F�n64-bit drivers
    �F�nSun ONE Studio 8 (C and C++ 5.5)
    �F�nSUNWsan
    �F�nSUNWarc
    �F�nSUNWbtool
    �F�nSUNWhea
    �F�nSUNWlibm
    �F�nSUNWlibms
    �F�nSUNWsprot
    �F�nSUNWtoo
    �F�nSUNWi1of
    �F�nSUNWi1cs
    �F�nSUNWi15cs
    �F�nSUNWxwfnt
    �F�nSUNWsprox
    �F�nSFWbdb
    �F�nSFWcurl
    �F�nSFWsudo
    So I'd like to know if those packages are already part of the Solaris 10 by default, of If I can / need to download those packages separately - for free, and install them after the Solaris is installed ?
    Can someone clarify this to me ?
    Many Thanks !

  • Disable read mode by default during installation

    I am currently trying to disable read mode by default as a part of the software installation.
    I have searched the msi file using the customization wizard but have not found any part of it that refers to this setting.
    Is there a reg key or a setting in the MSI I can change to disable this setting?
    Edit:
    This is for Reader X

    I have been able to figure out the answer, so I'll put it into here in case anyone else wants to do this.
    The following registry key has to be added to the msi or mst

  • Solaris Installation on Sun Blade 1500

    hi all,
    I tried installing the Solaris for Sun Blade 1500 and after installation.The Xserver wont start .
    It says unable to start the Xserver
    Failed to initialise core devices
    SUNWmouse ioctl on /dev/mouse
    and failed to start Xserver on display:0
    but i tried ssh -XCPY from a client and i could work with the gnome-session fully .
    Do i need to upgrade or add some more packages from the DVD ?
    and on some SUN BLADE 1500 machines ,i get this error when i tried to boot from cdrom
    Unable to Read disk label
    what can i do for the above problems .
    thanks
    taggy

    If you feel comfortable with command-line interfaces, you could boot the cdrom from the "ok" prompt using the following command:
    boot cdrom - install w
    (note all the spaces around "-"), this little command will force the installer to use a CLI instead of the default X-installer...

  • Which Name Service for Solaris installation behind router?

    I want to install Solaris on my computer in a small home LAN behind a router.
    The Solaris computer is not part of a zone, a domain and there is no own DNS server in LAN.
    I want Solaris to get the DNS from router which in turn gets the DNS server assignments from network provider.
    This is similar to a Windows installation which gets the current DNS servers defintion from network provider at connection startup.
    Now what do I have to select during Solaris installation? See attached snapshot
    I guess LDAP, NIS and NIS+ are not suitable.
    Do I have to select "None"?
    Does DNS mean "own DNS server in LAN" or "DNS from router" (as intended)?
    Thank you
    Peter

    Hello
    I don't know you home setup but in general you will have to use DCHP so solaris will get all info from the route the ip and dns etc..
    If you want to use a static ip you will have to config the DNS by hand.

  • No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation

    Hi all, I have a problem when trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) on my PC. There are some funny things happened while installing the OS.
    1.) My motherboard does not support booting from CD-ROM, so I downloaded a Device Assistant Boot Disk to boot it up. Then I use dd.exe to make the boot disk from the image, I have tried many times that after creating the boot disk, this boot disk will contain 512 bytes of bad sector. So why?
    2.) After using this boot disk to boot up and install the OS, before entering to the detection of the bus type stuff (still on the white screen), at the bottom of the screen, it says "ata_command select failed ... ...", what does this mean?
    3.) When the system go back to the white screen with language selection, I choose English (which is 1), and the system try to find my hard disk, but it failed and says "No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation" with a new line saying "installation documenation found.". So what is happening?
    Appreciate for any help.

  • How to set a room part as default in a room template?

    Hi,
    Can you please tell me how to configure a room part as the default one for a room template. The requirement is that this room part must be the first one to be opened when a room of the specific template is opened inside collaborations. NW7.0 . Please provide you suggestions.
    Thankyou in advance..

    Hello Lorcan,
    Thank you for the information. But even after trying to set it as extension the changes was not getting reflected. Another way which I tried to set the room part as default after adding the extensions is below:
    Content Administration -> Portal Content -> com.sap.ip.Collaboration -> Template Worksets (where the customized templates are there)->In the selected template I tried setting the property "Default Entry for Folder" as yes for room part "Documents".
    As of now room part "Task" is opened as default for the room but I want "Documents" to be opened by default. Please advice on the same.
    Thank you in advance..

    You are probably using the INSTALL CD that comes with Solaris x86.
    Don't use it but use the Software CD 1/1 to boot and install the system instead. The INSTALL CD is supposed to be used on a completely blank system (no other OS's) although even there I think Software CD 1/1 does the job.
    Also, if you are new to Solaris I advice you to get the FAQ (you can find it on e.g. http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2- it should be really helpfull during the first few weeks/months on Solaris

  • Shared_servers=1 in default DBCA installation?

    Hi all! does the default DBCA installation creates the database with shared servers and not dedicated server?
    These are the parameters in this brand new installation. shares_servers =1 and dispatchers is set to something..
    I have to set them to 0 and null to change it to dedicated server. Any ideas? Thanks.
    shared_servers integer 1
    SQL> show parameter disp
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    dispatchers string (PROTOCOL=TCP)(PRE=oracle.auro
    ra.server.GiopServer), (PROTOC
    OL=TCP)(PRE=oracle.aurora.serv
    er.SGiopServer)
    max_dispatchers integer

    I had observed the same for 10.2.0.1 databases also. I don't see the same.
    SQL> show parameter disp
    NAME                         TYPE      VALUE
    dispatchers                    string      (PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=v102XD
                                   B)
    max_dispatchers                integer
    Why does DBCA create a shared server by default and it is even setting the dispatcher? post proof
    What are the steps to ensure that the database is a dedicated server.Your database is always enabled to allow dedicated server processes,
    but you must specifically configure and enable shared server by setting one or more initialization parameters.
