Hi naanuajay,
The Hardware Diagnostics Suite is part of the SunMC 3.6.1 (and previous versions) and is included in the download. You will find it in the Advanced Systems Monitoring add-on. I find it very easy to use and use it frequently when I suspect a hardware error on one of the systems. It's also possible to schedule these hardware checks and get alarms when something's wrong, so you don't have to manually check 300 systems every now and then.
As an alternative, you can use the Sun Validation Test Suite, also called SUNWvts and is included with the Solaris software or available as a seperate download. It does basically the same thing without having to install a complete SunMC server, the VTS kernel runs as a background process and you can use a graphical application (installed on a different machine if you want) to perform and schedule hardware tests. A text-only TTY interface is also available.
Hope this helps...

Error with Hardware Diagnostic Suite 3.6.1

Hi
When I try and run hardware diagnostici suite on an agent I get the error mesage:
"Please make sure the Hardware Diagnostic Suite server is running on the Sun Management Center server machine."
I don't know how to do this despite a trawl through all available documentation.
Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

1. Make sure you have the ASM addon installed and up and running (using ps -eaf | grep HWDS) on the server host
2. Make sure you have the correct config reader installed on the agent host.
3. Make sure you have the ASM addon installed on the console node where you are trying to access the server from
4. Make sure the edagent is up and running on the agent host on which you are trying to invoke hardware diagnostics (ps -eaf | grep ed).
Once all the above are OK., I think you will start seeing better results.
Additionally, there are log files present under /var/opt/SUNWhwdiag on the server/agent node for better debugging

Some general questions about Sun Java Communications Suite

Hello Everybody,
We are a small group of individuals (2 Java developers and 1 Linux expert and Web Application developer), located in Germany.
We are fully new to �Solaris� and Sun Java Communications Suite and know, that it�s a highly professional software system for large scale deployment. However we plan to install (64 Bit version) and manage it in a small network environment, consisting of a Server (4 GB RAM, RAID 5, AMD Dual CPU) based on Solaris 10 (X86) and *20* clients based on Win XP, Solaris and Linux.
It�s a network of a non-profit organization, providing social services to local society.
At clients we will use the Communications Express and the needed services are: Calander, Mail and Address book. (no need of Outlook Connector, Instant Messaging, Document Management, etc.)
Our long-term aim is - after learning of professional architecting, deployment and management of Communications Suite - to provide integration and development services to organizations (schools and small / medium sized Business) and public in cooperation with ISP or infrastructure-providers like Sun Microsystems.
Now, our main questions are:
*1.-* Is the Server phy. recourse enough to deliver the mentioned services of Communication Suite to 20 clients without problems?
*2.-* Isn�t Communications Suite oversized for such small network mentioned above or better, if we use another collaboration software system like Opengroupeware (http://opengroupware.org/) ? Opengroupeware is developed using non-java lang and therefore doesn�t match our strategy.
*3.-* Does the Communications Suite download-pack includes all necessary components of Sun Java ES (Directory Server, Access Manager, etc.) or these components are to be downloaded separately?
*4.-* What is the difference between the Sun Java System Messaging Server and the Sun Java System Message Queue?
We appropriate very much your answers and any further useful information regarding our project.
Thanks
Asghar

1> I believe your hardware can support 20 users (you might need to tune the Web Server heap size) - I had a Sparc 2x450mhz w/ 2GB of ram supporting 50+ users quite comfortably - with roughly half using POP and the other half IMAP/webmail. Ideally though, for best performance you would want to break up the main servers (LDAP, WEB, and MS) between hosts) - probably not necessary for 20 users. Having all on one machine simplifies things too (but also makes it a single-point-of-failure). Your disk obviously is important, the faster the better - that it's redundant is also nice - larger deployments might use much fancier storage systems to provide speed and redundancy, and use an the App Server instead of the Web Server as a container for Comms Express.
2> I don't think it's "oversized" - might you mean overkill? In this case I don't think overkill is a bad thing. Why not have very capable software, even if you don't really need it -is how I see things.
3> I believe you get all you need in the download. Though I've never tried the 64bit version (which I am guessing is only really necessary for larger deployments where you want to obtain maximized performance for heavier loads). I recommend following the single host evaluation document to get the hang of the install.
4> I'm not sure - though the Messaging install I believe requires the MQueue stuff, I think it's sort of an API for messaging, also available separately, but used by JES Messaging system?
Good Luck,

How to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5

Dear all and Shane,
Excuse me for bothering you again.
Due to time limited, I would like to know how to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5. I mean I would like to use current mail system (mailscanner + postfix + courier-IMAP + clamav + spamassassin + webmail) and use the outlook connector to connect to Sun Java COMMS 5 to share the calendar, contacts only.
Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5.
My plan is as following
1. Sun Java Communication suites 5 server ( I called it comms5 ) will be in DMZ zone and will open the necessary ports in firewall.
2. I will create more than six sub domain name in Sun Delegate server and the necessary accounts within these domain names.
3. All messages will be transmitted via Postfix and clients will retrieve from Courier-IMAP
4. All Clients included other branch offices will use different mail clients to share their calendars, contacts via COMMS5 ( But how will COMMS handle the messages such like invitation ? )
Any suggestions will appreciate.
PS: Is it possible to classify the contacts in outlook address book ?
For example, when user click the receiver, it will show like as following
GLOBAL ADDRESS BOOK
--Director
--and so on
----CN.BRANCH OFFICE
-----------CN01 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------CN02 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------CN03 EMAIL ADDRESS
and so on
----JP.BRANCH OFFICE
-----------JP01 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------JP02 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------JP03 EMAIL ADDRESS
and so on
----TW.BRANCH OFFICE
and Due to the user account is located in CN.BRANCH OFFICE, it will extend the CN.BRANCH OFFICE contacts level.
Excuse me for bad English, hope you can understand it.
Best Regards,
Bruce

Also the use of Outlook Connector with a non-Sun IMAP backend isn't supported, nor is the use of a non-Sun IMAP backend possible with UWC.
Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5. Once again I should remind you that CentOS is not a supported platform for comm-suite-5

Oracle 10g + Solaris + 32bit Sun Hardware

Does Oracle 10g (which has a default 64bit Solaris installation) work on solaris + 32bit Sun Hardware? thanks

Hi,
yes, it does work on a 32 bit hardware, but you need a 64 bit version of Solaris.

Sun Java Communications Suite questions

Hi all! This is my first post to these boards so please excuse any board fobars.
Anyway, I have been charge with replacing our existing mail system based on POSTFIX, IMAP and SMTP with a better solution and have come to Sun Java Communications Suite as an option.
I notice the software can be downloaded for free, but there isn't any obvious mention of end-user costs. Are there any?
Second, what is the best way to back up the system each night and weekend. I have tried doing a search in Yahoo! and Google but haven't really come up with an answer. Can I back up individial mailboxes and objects with them or must I backup only the system as a whole?
Thanks for any help!
Mark

Yes it has shared folders and you can set up email lists. For instance I have our hylafax fax server just convert the incoming fax and put it in a public company folder that everyone has read access to. Also I have a mailing list that when you send to the address it goes to all employees and you can add the ability for an outside email address like [email protected] rights to send mail to it. The graphical interface works well but you'll want to make your own service packages which isn't hard to do. I really like using commadmin to create my users over the delegated admin but that’s just me.
Oh yea I also have a public mail folder I use for corp documents. I just email the docs into that folder.
Calendar server is great. The outlook connector works great.
Plus if you’re going to run it on Solaris 10 you get all the great functionality of that operating system for instance I have my whole mail server running on a solaris zone which resides on a zfs filesystem.
Which makes it extremely easy to back up or clone and run experiments or updates something goes wrong just rollback. ZFS is truly the best file system out. Solaris is so awesome it was able to keep running even when one of my cheap xeon processors was running in a degraded state. Solaris Fault manager is a god send and they don’t even market it really. fmadm faulty has saved my butt many times.
Solaris 10 + commsuite = Little downtime and tons of power.

Performance in Sun Java Communication Suite 5 between Solaris 9 and 10

Somebody knows which is the best Operation System to deploy the Sun Java Communication Suite? in performance terms?
I have and old Sun Fire 280R with two 750 Mhz Processors, 3 GB Ram, and an A1000 Storage.
Thanks a lot,
Andres.

-> improved overall performance (kernel/networking level)
-> ZFS for storage
-> dtrace for debugging
-> zones for the various components of the communication suite (http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0806/819-7663.html)
I have and old Sun Fire 280R with two 750 Mhz Processors, 3 GB Ram, and an A1000 Storage.I'm not sure how many users you are planning to provide access to but your RAM is going to be the bottleneck.

Sun Java Communication Suite 5 using example deployment not working

I download the sun java communication suite 5 for solaris sparc.
I have a sunfire 280r server with Solaris 9 9/05 HW s9s_u9wos_06b SPARC installed.
I follow the document 820-0086.pdf to try the product (deployment example), i succesfully installed the product using acasalud.com.ar as the domain.
The problem arises when i begin to verify the installation(page 16), i sucessfully start the web services but when i put:
http://fully-qualified-hostname:web-server-port/amconsole
Nothing happens, the amconsole url doesn't exists.
Somebody knows how to solve this?

Sun Java Comm Suite - Need Clarification of Licensing

Now that Sun has stripped out the email services from JES 5 and thrown them into another product, must I now pay to USE Sun Java Communication Suite or is the "licensing" strictly for support?
I must be a blithering idiot because for the life of me I cannot find the issue documented CLEARLY anywhere....."when you are ready to deploy" is a very vague term. I wish the marketing masters would use something like "Ok, it was free, now you have to pay" or "Feel free to use it, but if you want patches, etc. you have to fork over some money"
I guess the simple question is, will I violate the license agreement if I download and use the Sun Java Communications Suite without paying for a license?
Thanks,
Phil

Hi,
Now that Sun has stripped out the email services from
JES 5 and thrown them into another product, must I
now pay to USE Sun Java Communication Suite or is the
"licensing" strictly for support?Well I know you can't get support unless you pay for it :)
I must be a blithering idiot because for the life of
me I cannot find the issue documented CLEARLY
anywhere....."when you are ready to deploy" is a very
vague term. There is an underlying assumption here that running with unsupported software in a deployed environment is a bad idea (TM). This is basically saying the software is available for evaluation purposes.. which doesn't necessarily preclude from being available for production purposes... but it doesn't expressly include it either :)
I wish the marketing masters would use
something like "Ok, it was free, now you have to pay"
or "Feel free to use it, but if you want patches,
etc. you have to fork over some money"
I guess the simple question is, will I violate the
license agreement if I download and use the Sun Java
Communications Suite without paying for a license?When you install the software, the software licence agreement outlines the terms of 'permitted use' (section 3).
From my reading of the licence agreement, if you do not have an entitlement to the license (which I would guess you don't) then the software is for evaluation use.. which is defined as:
3(a) Evaluation Use. You may evaluate Software internally for a period of 90 days from your first use.
For any more clarification you may want to ask a Sun sales rep.

Is Developer Suite part of OAS Forms and Reports Services?

Hi,
I installed OAS Forms & Reports services ( 10.1.2.0.2 ) from the CD's. Installation was successful. I cannot find the 10g forms builder ( frmbld.sh ) in $ORACLE_HOME/bin. This metalink doc 358712.1 says, forms builder is part of developer suite.
Q) Is developer suite part of OAS Forms & Reports Services ( 10.1.2.0.2) CD's ?
If it is not, where can I find it?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for bearing with me. I am a bit confused here.
I have 2 sets of CD's here.
1st Set of CD's : 5 Oracle Application Server 10g ( 10.1.2.0.2) CD's
This set contains:
Portal/Discoverer/SSO/OID/Discoverer, Business Intelligence & Forms.
Infrastructure (with Metadata Repository DB)
Middle-tier (Business Intelligence & Forms)
2nd Set of CD's : 2 Oracle Application Server Forms & Reports Services ( 10.1.2.0.2) CD's
This set contains:
I guess this set only contains the components needed to depoy forms & reports on the web. Is this correct?.
We develop forms & Reports as well, so I need to install the Developer Suite as well. Is the developer suite part of the 1st Set of 5 CD's ( Business Intelligence & Forms ) ?
In the URL, I see "Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2)" only for Windows, Linux, Solaris. Not for HPUX. I am on HPUX v1. Is there a developer suite 10g for HPUX v1?. I see only JDeveloper for HPUX.
