"Memory Sizing" error on Sun Fire V65x

Hello.
I have some trouble with my old Sun Fire V65x and i hope that you guys can help me out.
I had 2,5GB RAM installed in my server, working flawless. 2 x 256MB and 2 x 1GB modules. 256-modules in Bank 1 and 1GB´s in Bank 2.
To get rid of the boot up warning of wrong memory configuration i moved the 2 1GB modules to bank 3 (as stated in the manual) but that was when the problem started.
In this configuration the server won't go to POST, i tried moving the 1GB modules around between bank 1, 2 & 3 without any result.
The server will not go to POST. No beeps, no nothing. When turning the server on line it starts up, the fans starts running on at maximum speed and that's all, no picture and no POST and the system warning LED turns to red. After a couple of minutes in this state the fans slow down for a couple of seconds and then back to 100% (repeating cycle)
The POST diagnostics LEDs at the back of the main board indicates POST code 13h, "Memory sizing". The main board does not report any defective DIMMs, also worth mentioning is that the 2 256MB DIMMs are working flawlessly in all banks.
I have tried:
Resetting the memory config in BIOS (using the 2x256 DIMMs and then installing the 2 1GB modules.
Moving the memory modules around between different banks, both alone and with the 2 256MB DIMMs present.
Clearing the CMOS settings.
Searching manuals and Google for hours without answer to my problem or what "memory sizing " means in this situation.
System:
Sun Fire V65x
1 CPU
If anyone know the answer to my dilemma and are willing to help me, i would be really grateful.
Sadly i do not have the possibility to test the memory modules in another system.
Best regards. Erik Järlestrand, Sweden.

Hardware. A reboot will probably not do anything. From what I can tell, it's a CPU cache problem. If you do anything, shut the system down completely, turn the power off for a minimum of 20 seconds to let any residual electricty go away, the turn it back on. If the problem returns, you'll most likely need to either get a new CPU module or a new V100. I don't know if the CPU can be removed from the V100 motherboard, but since there are jumper settings for the speed I would assume that you can.

Does not work due to the shift from Sun to Oracle.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the file? I've been searching for months.
Thank you.

Hello,
it should be possible to locate these files via the migrated (Sun) System Handbook.
This is a blog entry about the new location of the System Handbook (review the 3rd comment)
http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/goodbye_sunsolve_helloooo_mos
Maybe the user Nik (http://forums.oracle.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=826741) can help to locate the download. He is very active on these forums and an Oracle employee.
I don't have a MOS account, otherwise I would have been able to confirm if this download is still available. I guess due to the fact that Oracle contracts are more "fine grained", it's possible that downloads only for the systems covered by your service contract are visible.

I have just experienced this issue while patching Solaris 10 on a V240 system using Live Upgrade.
The issue was resolved by performing a failsafe boot from the console ("boot -F failsafe"), splitting the (new/alt) root mirror, mounting the primary half, performing fsck several times (as filesystem issues were apparrent), then mounting the slice and installing the new bootblock using the version of installboot from the new root and rebuilding the boot archive manually:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s4 /a
# /a/usr/sbin/installboot /a/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s4
# bootadm update-archive -R /aI note that the OpenSolaris bug linked to above lists four criteria for reproducing this problem:
1. Install u6 ( SUNWCreq ( no mkisofs so we build ufs boot archive )
2. Limit /tmp to 512M ( so forcing the ufs build to happen in /var/run
3. Have seperate /var ( bootadm.c only lofs nosub mounts / when creating the alt root for DAP patching build of boot archive )
4. Install 139555-08
The system I was patching met the last three of these, but not the first one (pkginfo does not show SUNWCreq as being installed). However, this was not an OpenSolaris system, which may make a difference.

Hello Simon,
these forums are user-to-user. The Fire E25K is definetely beyond the scope of these forums (too expensive, too critical for your business, too complex).
This system should be under Spectrum coverage (Platinum/Gold).
Open a service case !
Let's if you get any response to your posting on the Sun Managers mailing list.

On Sun fire v490 - Solaris 10 with Oracle 8.1.7.4 & Sybase 12.0

Hi,
We are going to upgrade our server with this configuration -
Sun Fire V490     2 x 1.05 GHz UltraSPARC IV CPU
8096MB RAM     2 x73GB local disk
2x FC 2GB Sun/QLogic HBAs
DAT72
On one machine we will have Sun Solaris v10 with
Oracle DB v8.1.7.4 & Second one will be Sun Solaris v10 with Sybase DB v12.0.0.6.
Now our question is - Sun fire have Hyper-thread CPUs �� will the O/S and databases (Oracle and Sybase) view the proposed system as a true 4 CPU platform? Will parameters used to tune the database such as Sybase max online engines still operate in the same manner as before?
Our old machine configuration was - Sun E450     4x400MHz CPU     1024MB RAM     2 x18; 8x36GB disks

Questions on Oracle and Sybase should be directed to a database forum, this forum is for Sun hardware support.
Here is a link to a DB forum I look at from time to time:
http://www.dbforums.com/index.php
The topic of tuning Oracle or Solaris is way beyond the scope of this forum, I have attempted to go into it before but didn't get any feedback and I would only like to spend lots of time on it if I was being paid!!! On the memory side, keep in mind that Oracle 9i 64-bit can address a maximum of 2 ^ 64 ( 16777216 TB ) memory, prior to that the DBA had to define memory parameters in init.ora. To be honest the last time I worked with a Oracle 8 database I shut a HP K class server down permanently that had been migrated to Oracle 9i on Solaris by an Oracle consultant and I can't remember all the tuning trick etc.

Up-gradation of Sun Fire 6800 to Sun Fire E6900 UltraSPARC IV+ Processors

We wanted to upgrade our exisiting two Sun Fire 6800 Servers to Sun FIre E6900 with Ultra SPARC IV+ processors boards and memory only. This, we want to do through Sun UAP uniboard promotion.
So we want to know the compatibility and additional requirement before going a head for this activity ....
Tech specs details mentioned below ....
Existing Sun FIre 6800 Servers Specs ...
Processor : sparcv9 UltraSPARC-III+
Model : Sun Fire 6800
Processor Speed : 900 MHz
RAM : 48 GB
Processor Count : 24
Will be upgraded to Sun FIre E6900 ........
Upgrade to E6900, 12 x 1.8Ghz US IV+ CPU, 96GB Memory.
I want to confirm below queries before placing order with Sun Micro sysytems...
1) Is there requirement for Box change ( Chassis ) or Sun Microsystems will provide it free of cost with this promotional programme ?
2) Is there any need to add more Power supply due to this up-gradation or additional PS will be a part of this kit ?
3) Is there anything left out in our discussion or planning which needs to be added or upgraded to make the solution compatible ?
Please add your valuable inputs for this up-gradation . Quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance ...

Considering the domain name in your email address...
This is far from the first SF6800 your company administers, that's been upgraded.
Having said that, you need to keep in mind that these forums are NOT a venue for techsupport from Sun. They are hosted so that the user community can have general conversations, swap stories, and more.
So, as for your questions:
(1) Contact Sun and ask them for an accurate answer ( and no, the outer chassis does not get swapped ).
(2) Contact Sun and ask them for an accurate answer ( I seem to remember that you must buy whatever PSU's, system controllers, and whatever else may be necessary, in addition to the uniboards ).
(3) I suggest you discuss this plan with your peers in other EDS sites that have already done this. This promotion is not anything new. It seems to be offered every few months or so, since the E6900's first arrived in 2004.
Expect to do a ton of firmware and OS upgrades so that the system can handle the US-IV+ architecture of the new hardware. That will need to be done before the new hardware is inserted to the chassis.

Dear All,
Sorry, if I ask this question to this forum again. Yesterday, I tried to shutdown SUN Fire 4800 machine. It is the same machine which I asked to all of you before.
At "OK" prompt, I typed *#.* in order to go to SC (System Controller) to shutdown the Machine. (As I know that "OK" prompt just shutdown the OS level)
But, I got the Error message.. These are commands that I have typed, but still did not work
{12} ok ~#
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~#"
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok ~.
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~."
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok #.
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "#."
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok ~#
ERROR: do_interpret: no such symbol "~#"
ERROR: undefined word
{12} ok #
ERROR:
I also tried to type command :(This comamand I got from SUN Firev4800 manual reference)
OK ctrl - ]
I connect to SUN Fire 4800 using serial cable (DB25) to USB port at my laptop, using either "Hyperterminal" or "TeraTerm"
-Bit persecond : 9600
-Data Bit : 8
-Parity : None
-Stop Bits : 1
-Flow Control : None
I can see the screen and typed "init 0" to go to "OK" prompt.But it still does not work. What happen? What should I do? For this case, is there any influence from "keyboard" layout (because I use my laptop keyboard) ?
Note : I also tried typed *"init 5"* to shutdown the server, but it still go to "OK" prompt
Please suggest...
Thanks for any help

Installation of Solaris 8 in Sun Fire V215

Hello.
I'm trying to install Solaris 8 on a Sun Fire V215 which comes with Solaris 10 pre-installed. I'm doing so because some of the software we developed seems to have problems onSolaris other than version 8.
Is Sun Fire V215 compatible with solaris 8??
I get the following error when trying to install SOlaris 8 update 2/04 from a CD:
Invalid install CD-ROM for karch "sun4u"
I've been looking all over the documentation of SUn Fire V215 to see whether it was possible or not to install such an old version of Solaris, but unluckily I never found anything. Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much
Jorge

That is not ever going to work.
Solaris 8 is a discontinued product.
That hardware will only work with SOlaris 10 and one specific release of Solaris 9.

go back to your Sun sales representative, else open a support case with Sun.

Session problem on clustered sun fire with SP6.1

Hi All,
I am having a problem with a webapplication on a clustered system.
In the following I describe the current system setup.
I will then describe the setup of the web application.
Following this, I explain the trouble I'm having with sharing sessions in this environment.
Finally, I pose the key question.
SYSTEM SETUP:
Our group has a clustered server setup. I believe the two machines are Sun Fire systems running Solaris 9. Let me know if you need more information concerning the HW.
To manage the cluster, we use Sun Cluster software. Let me know if you need to know the version number. I do not have it handy. We just recently setup the system (in the past 6 months).
Also, we have the newest Sun Web Server installed 6.1. We used the default installation. The only thing we changed was the dynamicreloadinterval variable from "-1" to "60".
WEB APPLICATION:
We have a fairly simple MVC web application setup, which works well on a single-server system. Essentially, the web application (1) asks for a certain input via a webform, (2) takes this input, and uses it to get information from a database, (3) puts this information into a httpsession attribute, (4) redirects the response to a JSP. The JSP gets the httpsession attribute (populated in step 3) and prints it out.
So, HTML with form posts to Servlet, Servlet gets data from database and populates a session attribute, JSP gets that session attribute and prints it out.
Between each transition from HTML, Servlet and JSP, the currently processing server may switch. I.e. the HTML may be served, for instance, by ClusterServer1, the Servlet may be handled, for instance, by ClusterServer2, and the JSP may be served at random by either.
THE TROUBLE I'M HAVING
Sometimes, my JSP is able to find the session attribute and print out whatever I put into the session during the Servlet step. However, sometimes, the JSP will print out "null" (the session attribute isn't available to the JSP).
For the HTML and the JSP, I have the page print out what server it is being served from. Thus, I can tell that the HTML is served from, for instance, ClusterServer1 while JSP is served from, for instance, ClusterServer2. Sometimes, the same server serves both.
KEY QUESTIONS:
Why would this be happening?
How can I have a session stick to the user and be shared across both servers?
What other information would you need to provide an answer concerning this issue?
I appreciate your efforts very much!

Hi All,
Hi Elving,
I read through the documentation and have the following questions:
(1) It seems that I can share sessions amongst both servers if I
configure the web server to store sessions in a persistant manner such as in a file or in a database. Is this correct?
(2) To enable this persistent storage of a session, I would need to change the Session Manager used. Is this correct?
(3) If yes, I have the choice between the following managers. Please correct me if I have misunderstood the options.
- PersistentManager: Instead of securing session information
in memory, this manager saves session information within
a file on the server in a directory, which I specify within
sun-web.xml
- IWSSessionManager: With this manager, I can store sessions
in a defined database or file on the server.
- MMapSessionManager: This manager also stores sessions in
a file on the server
(4) What is the difference between PersistentManager and
MMapSessionManager if my web server is running in
single-process mode?
(5) If MMapSessionManager is a file-based manager, where do I
specify to what directory the related file is stored to as I
do in PersistentManager?
(6) What are the advantages and disadvantages of
Persistent/IWS/MMap managers?
(7) In looking at SessionManagers, am I even barking up
the right tree? It seems like these would help me share
sessions across clustered servers.
(8) Finally, I guess my plan of action would be the following:
-> Identify what session manager to use
-> Include a sun-web.xml file in /WEB-INF containing
the manager-specific info
-> Reload my web application
-> done...
Is this correct?
Elving, I appreciate your help. Thanks!

Sun Fire V490-Internal FC Drives missing in Solaris 10 installation program

I don't think the test-scsi command is viable for that platform.
The FC disks are "viewed" by the system as external to the SCSI controller, almost as if they were in a multi-pack.
They are FC drives addressed by the chipset as SCSI disks.
Try:
<pre>probe-scsi-all</pre>
Edit:
Which release of Solaris 10 are you trying to install?
Older releases that might be fine for V480's won't work on V490's.

Re: Sun Fire v490 / Solaris 9 booting from CD, Network problems

Hi Folks,
Apologies in advance for the length of this post.
For the purposes of disaster recovery I have built a custom CD based on the Solaris 9 installation disk with our third party backup / restore software included on it.
After the rcS script has setup networking it runs a bash shell so that I can label / partition / format the hard disks as necessary then use the third party software to recover the system.
This works fine on almost all the machines we've tested (Ultra 10s, Ultra 30s, FS Prime Power 400)
On one Sun Fire v490 however I seem to have problems with networking...
Part of the customised rcS script makes the following call
ifconfig ce0 10.4.20.20 netmask 255.255.0.0 upto configure the NIC. However when the rcS script leaves me at the shell I'm unable to ping anything.
The output from ifconfig - a looks like...
lo0 flag=..
inet 127.0.0.1
ce0: flags=1000823<UP BROADCAST,NOTRAILER,MULTICAST,IPv4>
mtu 1500 index 2 inet 10.4.20.20 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 10.255.255.255 ether 0:14:4f:0:be:beThe only thing that looks odd to me is that there's no "RUNNING" entry for ce0 that I get if I boot from the same CD on my other machines (Ultra 30s & Ultra 10s)
The broadcast address looks wrong, but again it's the same when I boot from th CD on my other test machines and they all seem to work.
I'm pretty sure that ce0 is "plumbed", 'cos if I "unplumb" it from the shell prompt then it doesn't even appear in the output from ifconfig.
Someone has suggested that it's a connectivity issue, but if I boot normally rather than from my custom CD then the networking is fine.
As a test I tried removing the drivers for hme from the CD then booting one of my Ultra30s but in this case the entry for hme0 was completely absent from the output of ifconfig.
So I've concluded that the driver for ce0 is at least there on the v490.
So for the moment I'm confused as to why the ce0 appears on the output for ifconfig, but has no RUNNING 'flag'
Anyone got any ideas
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Kevin

hello
you have an error in your interface configuration
you should have
you are using a class A ip adress but with a class B netmask
ip 10.4.20.20
netmask 255.255.0.0
broadcast should be 10.4.255.255

Login problem in sun fire V490 through Hyper terminal

I am a new user of sun Solaris 10 . In my sun fire v490 server every thing is configured fine there is no fault in booting .But when I configured the file /etc/inet/hosts in solaris 10 and missed to configure the file /etc/inet/netmask and /etc/inet/ipnodes, due to which server is not allow me to login there is an error occur " unable to login" . Now what is the other way to login into server console. I am entering in the console using normal mode, should I try to login in using diagnostic mode., or is there any other way to login into and modify the file. I also need training videos of solaris configuration .
Help in this regard will be highly appreciable.

Lack of running for an interface normally means network connectivity issue.
Check the network cable is plugged in securely.
Check for light on ethernet card and switch connectivity light.
Try a different switch port or switch and a different ethernet cable.
