Linux user lost in solaris 10 network configuration :\

I installed for evaluation Solaris 10 dor x86 and i'm trring to configure network interfaces. My problem is:
If i "ping www.google.com" not works, but if i "nslookup www.google.com" works and i get ip ( 66.249.85.104 ) and if i
"ping 66.249.85.104" or "traceroute 66.249.85.104" it works.
So seems that DNS is configured and also network & gateway but for some reason if i ask for a URL this is not converted to an IP.
Can someone explain how is possible and how to solve this?
tnx in advance

The 'hosts' entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf probably does not have dns configured as one of the sources. The line should read:
hosts: files dns
For more info: man nsswitch.conf.

Additional info:
I have connected 2 PCs with LAN (Ethernet) cable and want configure them for exchanging files. Both running Arch Linux. I am following the Network Configuration wiki page from the beginning. Didn't have luck with DHCP/dynamic IP, so trying Static IP this time. Restarting the pc with network.service enabled results in same error (in systemctl --failed). Same error message on both PCs.
Trying to run ExecStart lines one by one:
$ sudo /sbin/ip link set dev lan up
$ sudo /sbin/ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev lan
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
$ sudo /sbin/ip route add default via 192.168.1.1
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Does this mean there already is IP address and route assigned? If so, how to find out which service has done that? Do I need to remove it? Am I following the right wiki page (didn't find another)?
What am I doing wrong and how can I correct this error? / Point me in right direction.

Installing oracle- Network Configuration

Hi all,
I am installing oracle 11g on oracle enterprise linux.
Everything is fine except Network Configuration. When i run OUI it gives following message:
Checking Network Configuration requirements ...
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Not executed <<<<
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned public IP addresses. However, the primary network interface on the system should be configured with a static IP address in order for the Oracle Software to function properly. See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.
========================================================
please help me with this.
Regards,
Shane

1) If the install is for learning, just ignore the warning.
2) If you want this VM client to communicate with other VM clients on the
same VMware server, change the VMware NIC to host-only and then use the
Linux system-config-network tool, edit the ethX definition to use your
chosen IP address; a manually-assigned IP address is static, thus
avoiding the warning.
3) If you want machines other than your laptop to be able to communicate with
your RDBMS, you need to do step #2 but change the VMware NIC emulation to a
bridged device.
Hope this gives you the right places to start looking.

Solaris 10 - impressions from a GNU/Linux user

Firstly, this isnt flame bait, honest!
Until 10, I hadnt seen Solaris since rev6, then, I was worn (then) down by trying to configure a dial up model hacking chap scripts. Anyhow, I thought I'd look at Solaris 10, seeing as it was 'free' to play with. What follows summarises my feelings after looking at it again.
Download and install went smoothly, even the accompanying freeware DVD was installed in its entiretly to add all that utility/application-candy that makes a platform usable, or more than usable.
OK, so the java desktop is actually pretty good but now what? There is a dearth of anything useful in the distribution, all but the cut down linux distros come with a wide range of applications and supporting tools, they 'just work', and cusomizing program access paths to include all the freeware bin folders etc etc is not necessary, unlike Solaris with its truly painful packaging structure.
Solaris seems to have changed a great deal since I last used it, but as I spend most days running Linux development and deployment systems I had some expectations of what I should (by now) be able to do with Solaris. After observing the lack of configuration files I stumbled accross the web 'tool' to do the configuration (there were no default desktop shortcuts, no menu links, nothing - even under CDE), I was beginning to get that '6' feeling again.
What do people do after an install, they configure the network and set the hostname up.
I personally found the network configuration a royal pain. Using any other linux distro (suse and its yast configurator, gnome or kde configuration tools etc) all make the experience painless.
For the gigabytes of downloads I kind of expected something that would be useful out of the box. Yes, I can go and download xyz from sun freeware one package at a time but COME ON! After using Debian based UBUNTU perhaps Im spoiled by the Synaptic package manager. I was honestly shocked, thinking there must be something I'm missing but once again I could not find a single reason to switch to Solaris for my use (development, or deployment).
Im sure there are those who would tout Solaris as rugged, scalable, secure etc but all of that is irrelavent to me and my usage. From my perspective the targetted user base for Solaris appears to be narrow.
I can appreciate the licencing issues involved and that may indeed be the reason why many additional tools arent provided. In any event, I cant think of any reason to keep Solaris 10 installed, I can do everything I need with Linux with less effort thanks to the range of GNU/open source apps readily available.
If it works for you thats great, Im sure there will be plenty of points and my lack of time spent (a) reading (b) configuring (c) dowloading and compiling, but to be honest, I havent got the time!

compiing packages one at a time is possible but is
prone to non-trivial issues over symbols etc etc.
Never mind it takes time to find the source package
from website x, install the package, compile the
package, fixup your paths ready for running, try and
figure out if the app needs an icon in the menus -
and figure out how to do that too.Or, as you mentioned you could use Sunfreeware or the Companion CD with the caveat that you've already mentioned.
Contrast this method with the APT/Synaptic package
manager a) search by keyword for app (eg firewall)
from multiple repositories with thousands of
applications etc, select and hit go, it resolves its
own dependencies, it downloads, it installs, it just
runs, its integrated immediately with no further
effort. Blinding!Must be nice!
There are some apps that actually do this on Solaris. If they use the Midnight Commander shell on the download page I've had things like version 2 of Nessus configure, compile and install itself automatically.
These are few and far between though.
What I expected to do with Solaris is to be able to
configure it quickly and painlessly (nope), to be
able to install categories of apps I know I want but
dont immediately know where they are stored, maybe
sunfreeware.com maybe not (nope, no package manager
or anything similar), to be able to not care about 'I
need this library or that library' to resolve
dependencies and just install it! (nope). As I said,
I guess Im spoilled by APT/Synaptic, its a killer app
for the platform, making it more than useful.For Solaris I'm not aware of anything close to what you're describing.
compilers, apache, tomcat, evolution for M$Exchange
email intergration, eclipse even, never mind media
players & codecs. All without so much as a website
trawl/comipile/fixup cycle.I've heard that the Companion CD along with the Java Desktop Environment should get you most of what is listed above, but that uses the Companion CD and the caveat.
GNU/Linux experience. I asked myself the question,
how much effort would I have to put in to get running
at least a good portion of what I currently have? The
answer that led to my post was too much.From what you're describing it isn't that it couldn't be done, the issue is that it could be done, but going forward with Solaris would be more work than what you're currently doing, not a bad assumption.

Network configuration Solaris 10.

Hi all,
I got my solaris up and running with Audio and graphics working fine. Now I need to setup internet. I know the following details. Can anybody help me how to set this information. In linux I would, network configuration tool and on windows, I chang the TCP/IP properties. I don't know what to do in solaris.
I ahve the following information.
1) My IP Address
2) Subnext mask
3) DNS
4) Primary gateway
5) Sec. Gateway.

If your IP is dynamic, Solaris should get you connected to web, without your intervention. Just make sure the DHCP client is running (it runs, by default). Also check this compatibility list: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_all_results.page1.html
If everything looks good, you can try "inetmenu" tool to get a valid IP address. More information is available at OpenSolaris web site: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/inetmenu/

Your solution is
"See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP"
That book is at http://tahiti.oracle.com and the steps you need are in Chapter 2 of the Installation Guide for Linux.
Now, I could assume this is Oracle 11gR2 and you are using Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 4, but I won't. Assuming things gets me into trouble.

Could not find Wireless network configuration Oracle linux Enterprise

HEllo,
I was able to install oracle linux OS on my laptop and I was able to use internet thru wired network, but I tried to config the wireless network and I could not find any docs or online source to config wireless network on OLE machines.Belwo is the source that i used for installing the linux, he gave only one scrrenshot for network configuration where I see wireless tab also,but nothing is working when i configure wirless

Wrong forum. Your question has nothing to do with Oracle Database Installation. You might try the [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=822] Oracle Linux forum..
When you post there it will be helpful if you will provide some detail on what you actually did and and the result. So far all you've really said is "Here is a picture of a Ford. Why can't I get my Chevy to run?"

I lose connection with network whenever put MacBook Pro to sleep or reboot. Lost network configuration. Have to use diagnostics to relocate and reconnect. What is the fix?

I lose connection with network (router: Airport Extreme, latest firmware) whenever MacBook Pro put to sleep. Have to use diagnostics to reconnect. Tells me network configurations have changed, then reconnects me to network. What is the fix?

Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

Linux install server and solaris 10

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).You can install using the keyboard with jumpstart. Without jumpstart you'd need local media (you can't enter the OS via the keyboard).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers
ERROR: bpgetfile unable to access network
/sbin/install-discovery: information: not foundHmm. That looks like the image file is corrupt. Can you pull the image from media again? Can you see if there's a /sbin/install-discovery file in the image (usually under Tools/Boot/root). I recall there used to be a problem with that file.
Linux box setup:
/etc/bootparams
solaris root=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot rootopts=rsize=32768 boottype=:in install=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos_install/Solaris_10/Product sysid_config=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos_install/jumpstart/sysidcfg install_config=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos_install/jumpstart/jumpstart.confIf you just want an interactive install (prompt for configuration/settings), you don't need sysid_config or install_config. Those are for automated installations.
TFTP setup from /tftpboot:
[root@robert tftpboot]# ll
total 232
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 10 13:55 C0A80214 -> inetboot
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 221280 Jun 10 13:47 inetboot
The Openboot can get ahold of the inetboot file and downloads and it and then loads it.
The following directories are exported through NFS
[root@robert sunos_install]# cat /etc/exports
#/home/nfs 192.168.2.0/24(ro,sync)
/home/sunos *(ro,no_root_squash)
/home/sunos_install *(ro,no_root_squash)
[root@robert tftpboot]# showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/home/sunos *
/home/sunos_install *That looks pretty good.
You do have the option of running VMware on linux, and putting a Solaris 10 image on it, then using that VM as your boot server. But the problem you're displaying doesn't appear to be related to the linux server.

Permissions for Linux user accessing Leopard share

We have a very simple networking setup at our video post production facility. Basically, files are shared everywhere and to everyone. No open directory or DNS serving. Just AFP and SMB.
Our Linux based Smoke/Flame/Lustre system needs access to the files severed/shared by an Xserve with a big attached RAID. It has no problem connecting or seeing the files. However, it typically is denied write permissions. When the Smoke operator creates a folder on the share he can't access the folder until I grant the Others/Everyone group read and write perms. The Linux user logs in with the same user account that everyone else uses.
Some time ago, the always smashing Gerrit DeWitt gave me some terminal commands to set ACLs for users/groups of this shared RAID. They work beautifully and I have had no permissions issues since applying them. Except for this Linux system.
Would it be good practice to use this command to set the Everyone group permissions for this share?
sudo chmod -R +ai "group:everyone allow readattr,readextattr,readsecurity,\
list,search,read,execute,writeattr,writeextattr,delete,\
append,write,deletechild,add_file,addsubdirectory,\
fileinherit,directoryinherit" "/Volumes/RAIDH/Smoke_InfernoStorage"
Also, is there some configuration change I could make to the Linux system to make it a little more Mac compatible in this area?
Thanks

It's worth checking into - let us know what you find. What you describe certainly sounds like a problem with permission propagation settings for SMB / Samba since the AFP side works fine.
I've seen other posts about problems that crop up because of differences in the versions of Samba employed between systems, so that's a possibility as well. And I'd have no suggestions for you in that regard other than some searching of the web for clues as to how to work with that issue.

Oracle 11g - Network Configuration check

Hi All,
This is my first time here and I am a newbie to Linux and Oracle installation.
I just finished installing Linux Enterprise version 5 ( provided by Oracle corp).
At the time of installation I did not do any type of network configuration and let the default network connection take effect.
After installing all the pre requirements for the Oracle 11g installation on my laptop I was stopped with a warning on the Oracle univesal Installer - product specific Prerequisite check.
This is what it gave me---
Checking Network Configuration requirements..
Check complete. The overall results of this check is : Not executed <<<
Recomendation : Oracle supports installation on systems with DHCP-assigned public IP addresses. However the primary network interface on the system should be configured with a Static IP Address in order for the oracle to function properly.See the installation guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.
I checked with the manuals and do not find any information about how to fix it.
The info given in the manual is
Installing on DHCP Computers
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses on a network. Dynamic addressing enables a computer to have a different IP address each time it connects to the network. In some cases, the IP address can change while the computer is still connected. You can have a mixture of static and dynamic IP addressing in a DHCP system.
In a DHCP setup, the software tracks IP addresses, which simplifies network administration. This lets you add a new computer to the network without having to manually assign that computer a unique IP address.
Now i made some changes to the Network Config as root user and my Network configuration file looks like ( ie. /etc/hosts)
127.0.0.1 localhost StaticIP
It was previously something like
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost.
As per the installation documents where ever i had references to localhost, i had left the localhost with the same name ' localhost' and have not changed it. Now it has StaticIP and I am not sure how to proceed.
What must I do?
I want to fix this error and also want oracle to work.
Thanks for your help!!

Thanks a lot guys to respond to this. I am using OEL5 ( supplied by Oracle Corp) and Oracle 11g. Installation of Linux takes about 40 minutes and installation of Oracle takes about an hour to 2 hours. Not sure why some RPM's do not show up on the CD's provided by Oracle.
So I tried to reinstall Linux . But the whole problem is, the Network Screens ( during installation) do not show up at all. It just skips that portion and goes to the Screen where there is the world Map and tells you to set up the time and date. I tried installing Linux many times and those Network configuration screens do not show up at all.
Here is my dilemma. After installing Oracle 11g, and immediately accessing the site https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em takes me into the OEM.
But after I shut down my machine and boot up again, I am unable to use the OEM's site https://localhost.localdomain:1158/em. Instead I get the message
===============================
Unable to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.localdomain:1158
1. The site could be temporaily unavailable
2. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection
3. If your computer is protected by firewall or proxy, make sure that firefox is permitted to access the Web.
===================================
I am thinking the problem is with 2. I do not have any firewall in my machine and i have also disbaled SELINUX.
I want to configure the computer so i can use the OEM in my Linux laptop.
My $ cat /etc/hosts gives
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain.
Please help me setup the Network so i can connect to 11g OEM.
And BTW this laptop is not even used to connect to the Internet.
Thanks

Discovering additional network configurations

Can someone help me. While trying to install solaris 10 in my ultra 80. I keep getting a hangup while discovering additional network configurations. How can I disable this so it doesnt happen anymore.

boot cdrom -vs is supposed to take you to a functional environment,
into single-user mode, and do so in a verbose fashion.
That is exactly what the command does. Thus it's functioning properly.
To start your OS installation, just boot to the cdrom.
OK boot cdrom <enter>
If you want it to do so in a verbose fashion, use the -v command switch.
... just do not use the letter "s" in the command and it will start the install.
During this entire discussion, you never mentioned whether you even tried
to probe the SCSI bus to see whether the drives were recognized by OBP.
If OBP doesn't see them, then your system will fail back to trying to discover
a boot device on the network ( along any network pathway that could possibly exist ).

Migrate my Suse Linux users account to mac os x moutain lion?

Can someone tell me how to migrate my Suse Linux user accounts, including mail, to mac os x moutain lion?

You need write a script to map your /etc/passwd database to the values in MacOS. Use the dscl command like here: http://www.deadmarshes.com/Blog/20111105010130.html or here: http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=141798
You can't take the /etc/shadow, because MacOS encrypts the passwords other than Linux.
Your users need to change their password:
- via Webinterface from Mountain Lion
- or via Server.app
- or on a linux client using the OpenDirectory (LDAP) from ML
Each mail user needs to belong to the group com.apple.access_mail. You can configure with ML-tools any forwards. Tools: Server.app (Appstore), WorkGroupManager (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1567)
I'm migrated/migrating my users from Solaris LDAP. I'm using this technology.
Migrating the Mail system is an other task.

Windows (or other OS) network configuration

Hello all,
I've been asked to develop a Java software that should be able to modify network configuration (IP, mask, ...) of a PC. Is this possible? I don't think so, but, please help me!!
Thank you so much

I have to use Windows, now, but this process could be repeated on Mac or Linux, Solaris, ... not sure yet. But Windows is surely mandatory.
The software I need to develop has to do this things:
- read computer network configuration (IP, mask, gateway, DHCP, ... all the things in IP network connection of Windows);
- save this configuration (let me call it "office configuration") somewhere;
- change the active configuration to apply a "local" or "direct" configuration that will be used to directly connect (with a cross cable) the pc to a network device (Digital Microwave Radio Links Low/Medium Capacity, for Short-Haul PDH Networks I'm working on). Something like IP=10.0.1.x, mask=255.255.255.0 or so and so on for local direct connection;
- do the things on this device (software exists);
- restore office configuration at the end of the software.
Is this possible? Thank you very much.

Multihomed network configuration

So, when I say multihomed what I really mean is that Macbook Air is configured to use two network interfaces -- Wi-Fi and USB ethernet -- in one Location. Each interface is configured to work on a different subnet. In fact, wi-fi is assigned a public IP address of 195.88.xxx.xxx, and USB ethernet NIC a private address of 192.168.0.252/24. Wi-Fi is en0, and USB ethernet is en2. Both interfaces are in active state.
My goal is to have MBA to route all traffic to en0, except for 192.168.0.0/24 network which I want to go via en2, the USB ethernet card.
The topology is pretty simple:
Linux Laptop <--- Linksys Cisco Router <---   en2 via <--- MBA ---> via en0   ---> Linksys Cisco Router ---> <Internet>
Essentially, I need to put en2 on the ethernet segment where the Linux laptop is to be able to talk to it directly. No routing needed. This apporach works without any problems in Linux environment. However, on Mac OS X it doesn't work and it makes me wonder why.
A few details on what happens on the network:
tcpdump output from Linux machine (it is assigned 192.168.0.253/24):
13:08:17.476326 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.0.253 tell 192.168.0.252, length 46

and this is tcpdump output from Macbook Air:

13:08:21.477168 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.0.253 tell 192.168.0.252, length 28
I tried Service Reorder (in System Settings->Network) and set en2 as the first device on the list, or one position behind en0. It doesn't change anything.
My question is similar to these discussions:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2297388?start=0&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9984744?messageID=9984744#9984744?messageI D=9984744
and in one of them it is implied that no extra configuration should be made beyond what I've already done, but clearly Mac OS X doesn't see ARP request reply from the Linux machine.
BTW, firewalls are down on both systems.
I also found this network configuration manual for Princeton University campus network
http://www.net.princeton.edu/mac/network-config-x-10.8/caveats.html#ip-weakend
that claims that Mac OS X actually cannot do what I'm attempting to and refers to Weak End System Model which in essence is described in RFC4907 as:
In the Weak End System model, addresses refer to a host. As a
        result, packets sent on an outgoing interface need not
        necessarily have a source address configured on that interface,
        and incoming packets whose destination address does not
        correspond to the physical interface through which it is
        received are accepted.
That could explain why ARP request reply never makes it back to Mac OS X.
So, any ideas? Any tips?
I'd highly appreciate help of the community because I'm stuck

I dont have a PSC2210 but one of the documents I saw said to go to the front panel of the printer, press the Setup button, press 6 and then press 1 to print the Network Configuration page.
