Migrating Solaris with out migrating Sun Studio

HI ,
Currently we are using sun studio 8 on solaris 8 to compile our application(C++).
We are planning to migrate Solaris 8 to solaris 10. Will there be any problems, If we use sun studio 8 on sun solaris 10.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

However, it is rather old, it predates Solaris 10 and having all latest patches installed is a must (see http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/ss8_patches.html for list of patches available).
If your final goal is to upgrade both OS and compiler, then switching to Solaris 10 and staying with Sun Studio 8 is a good idea; this way you minimize differences. After dealing with OS differences, you will be able to upgrade to Studio 12 update 1 (most recent release) more smoothly. Latest Sun Studio release is preferable because
- its compiler better conform to the standard,
- they generate better code,
- whole suite works better on Solaris 10 since it was developed and tested on Solaris 10,
- IDE is a huge improvement compared to Sun Studio 8.
However, if you choose to stay with Sun Studio 8 (remember, end of support life is just one year away), I'd recommend purchasing support contract so that if you happen to run into a problem, it is solved with Sun Studio 8 patch, not in the next Sun Studio release (13?), which will be unacceptable for you.

Can I use Solaris with my Home Recording Studio?

Hello,
I am currently building a basic home recording studio. I recently assembled a new computer and will be purchasing music recording equipment very soon. Before I purchase the audio recording gear, I was curious about a few things pertaining to the use of Solaris as my possible choice system.
The data that I store on my hard drives will need to be secure. I had originally considered RAID 5 though recently found out about RAID Z, which appears to be far ahead of the other RAIDs. I am curious to know more about how to set up a RAID Z system.
The computer will be running Solaris, various Linux or BSD, and Windows Vista. I have 500GB x4 hard drives. I am considering separating one and using it strictly for Vista, and using the remaining 3 with a RAID set-up for nix. If I had a choice, I would put much less hard drive space into Vista (capping it at 150 to 200 GB), though I have yet to come across a RAID system that effectively or efficiently cooperates cross-platform. With that in mind, the majority of the remaining 1.5TB can go into my studio OS - hopefully Solaris - while left-over hard drive space is set aside for various other *nix.
I've used Solaris 10 before, though haven't really gone into detail on the mechanics of such features as ZFS, zones, now RAID Z, and the many more amazing features that Solaris provides. Likewise, I am not really familiar with how well the system might operate with software/applications that I could use for recording and composing music.
Beyond the available 2TB (or 1.5TB RAID-ready) space, my computer is running on a new 64-bit quad-core AMD CPU (~2.6GHz) and currently has 4GB 1066MHz RAM. In my search for preparing a computer that suits me for high performance recording - including the editing and mastering of audio - I am attempting to narrow down my options on the software side of things. I have been very satisfied with the general file management of Solaris, though am unsure of how well it might run as the software side of a home recording studio. An additional factor in deciding will be the software's compatbility with audio PCI cards and external recording/audio interfaces. There is always a question of whether or not the necessary drivers, firmware, or similar is available between any given hardware and software components.
Some other *nix options I have considered - "Ubuntu Studio 64-bit" (though it appears to prefer 32-bit) and "64 Studio" (also Debian-based, though appears to be optimized for 64-bit). Some colleagues have used Gentoo with studio applications, though I don't know of any Linux distributions that offer the versatility, power, stability, and efficiency of Solaris for the operating system that it is.
If I use something like "64 Studio", I will have the advantage of a system that is ready-built for studio recording purposes as well as a system that I know is compatible with the sound gear that I am considering purchasing. However, those systems are restricted by their file system types, RAID availability and dependability, and the general disadvantages of using the Linux kernel in general. (I enjoy Linux, though I admittedly prefer Unix over it.)

Caught another typo.

I'm not sure what your question is. If you have particular software you want to run, you should see what you can get that package to run under. Sound hw stuff don't tend to be too portable unless it's written on top of OSS (htttp://www.opensound.com). Were I you, I'd consider separating out the storage part and the processing part. Get something like a cheap dell sc440 to be a file server and give the drives to that (unless you actually can get all the components working under solaris).

Building NCAR Graphics 5.2.1 on Solaris 10 x86u9 under Sun Studio 10 (2005)

Hello,
I've got the following error when compiling ncar program with Sun
cc and f90 and /usr/ccs/bin/ld.
cc -ansi -O -I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/include/X11 -DSYSV -
D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -DByteSwapped -Di386 -DNeedFuncProto -
c cl.c
cc: Warning: illegal option -nsi
cc: -a conflicts with -dy.
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `cl.o'
After that i've changed the config/SolarisPC file and tried a build with gcc 3.4.3 and f90 but I got
ld fatal: library -lc not found.
I have an old box from 2001 which was under HCL of Solaris 8 x86.
The people at NCAR did not update their configuration files for Solaris 10 x86. The SolarisPC file is old and is using by default g77 as the fortran compiler. Could I mix gcc with f90 ? Which linker should I use in that case?
/usr/ccs/bin/ld or /usr/ucb/ld?

Please refer to the C Users Guide for details of cc command line options. All manuals for Sun Studio 12u1 are listed here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19205-01/index.html
There is no -ansi option in Sun/Oracle C, nor has there ever been. The compiler attempts to interpret it as -a followed by some other letters, which is why you get a complaint about -a. Remove the option.
Depending on what you expect from the -ansi option, either the default compiler behavior or the -Xc option should work. I suggest trying the default behavior (no -X option). Refer to the manual for details.
Always use the /usr/ccs/bin/ld linker, but you normally should not use the ld linker directly. If you mixing C and Fortran, use the f90 driver to do the linking; it knows what Fortran libraries need to be linked, depending on command line option. When linking a program using only C, use the cc driver to link. Some C command-line options require linking special system files; the cc and f90 drivers know the rules.
To mix Fortran with C, refer to the Fortran Users Guide. I recommend using the Studio C compiler when mixing code, not gcc. The requirements of gcc are not known to the f90 driver, but it does know the requirements of Studio C.
The schema for a mixed Fortran and C program is something like this:
cc -c f1.c f2.c <other options>
f90 -c f3.f90 f4.f90 <other options>
f90 -o myprog f1.o f2.0 f3.0 f4.0 <other options>

But sorry for my insistence, but do you think that
purify or/and runtime are not able to detect any
corruption of the heap ?They can detect some kinds of corruption, such as some uses of an invalid pointer.
But a wild pointer that changes the value of data that is part of your program cannot be detected by RTC or Purify. Those programs can't know whether that change is intentional.
>
BTW, we are not using any volatile declaration, and weIf non-local data is shared among threads, it should be declared volatile. For example, suppose you have
x = foo;
... // code not changing foo
y = foo;
If foo is not marked volatile, the compiler is allowed to assume its value hasn't changed, and assign to y the same value assigned to x. If foo was changed by another thread, y will not have the current value of foo. The "volatile" declaration says that the variable's value might change without any obvious reason, and the compiler should generate code to load a fresh value each time it is referenced.
are using the rwtools library packaged with the
compiler, and are not using the STD library.OK, you are not running into a std::string synchronization bug.
>
Also about the compiler option -xarch=v8, is probably
not relevant for us because we are running Solaris 9.
So the relevant compiler is probably -xarch=v9. Do you
advise us using this option ?I think you misunderstand. The -xarch values refer to the kind of processor your program will run on.
The -xarch=v8 option generates 32-bit code that will run on all SPARC chips, including the chips found in very old SPARCstations. This option is the default for compilers prior to Sun Studio 9 (which ships this week).
The -xarch=v8plus option generates 32-bit code that runs only on UltraSPARC chips, found in Ultra workstations. These are the only kinds of workstations shipped by Sun since about 1996. Unless you need to support the ancient SPARCstations, we recommend compiling with -xarch=v8plus, to get smaller and faster code.
The -xarch=v9 option generates 64-bit code that runs only on UltraSPARC chips, an only on Solaris 7 or later. Unless your program requires a very large address space, you generally don't want to generate 64-bit code. On SPARC, 64-bit code is larger and slower than 32-bit code. (Type "long" and all pointers are 64 bits instead of 32 bits.)
>
Also I want to return you two new questions:
1) I read in another discussion,
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=5&thread=18124&me
sage=47854#47854
that another memory manager can be more efficient in
multi-threaded environment (libmtmalloc.so), and also
an alternate threads library (/usr/lib/lwp) that
reduced CPU usage. Do you advice us using this
alternate library ?The libmtmalloc library usually has better performance in MT programs than the default version of malloc. It also can result in more memory fragmentation. In that case, the larger working set can sometimes have a large negative effect, more than offsetting the MT efficiency. You have to experiment to see whether it is appropriate for your particlular program. If you are running into heap corruption, the pattern of corruption will probably be different with libmtmalloc than with the default malloc. The differences might provide a clue to what is wrong.
The alternative "T2" threads library was introduced in Solaris 8 as an option.
In Solaris 9 it is the default, so you are already using it.
>
2) We are using the Rogue Wave library shiped with the
compiler. Is it an up-to-date version ? Can we assume
that is a good choice or it will be preferable to move
to the STD library ?I assume you mean Rogue Wave Tools.h++. As explained in the compiler docs, this version of Tools is obsolete, and has not been supported for many years. We continue to provide it for customers who used it before the introduction of the C++ Standard Library in 1998, and who don't want to change their code. We do not recommend it for use in new code.

Sun studio 11 patched arggg...

Hi we have sun blade 2500 and latest solaris sparc OS also sun studio 11
sun update manager works for OS patches but cant work for sun studio 11 patches every time find a new patch for OS and show me the remaning ss11 patches when i was attempt to install only ss11 patches are failed
how can i solve the issue ?
Thanks

Your problems installing the Sun Studio 11 patches through Update Manager have been encountered previously in regards to globally installed packages and was due to a combination of bug ID's 6337009, 6214678 and 6374972 for the patching utilities of which the last is still open.
You will currently have to manually install the patches using patchadd with the "-G" flag whilst in the global zone to install them in the global zone only.

Volunteer needed to help debug a Boost library in Sun Studio

Hello,
I've recently added a new Boost library called Boost.Flyweight to this project's
internal repository
[http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/flyweight/doc/index.html]
and found out that Sun Studio (versions 5.7 thru 5.9) have runtime problems with
a particular library test, as described in
[http://lists.boost.org/boost-testing/2008/12/6048.php]
My requests for help at the Boost mailing lists have met no response, so I'm
looking here for volunteers to help debug this problem. Basically I need someone
with access to Sun Studio and some C++ fluency (and familiarity with
Boost is a plus, too). I'd be trying to provide as much support as possible
during the process. In return the kind volunteer will receive my eternal gratitude
and an entry in the lib's acknowledgements section.
If you're interested please drop me an email to joaquin at tid.es
Thank you very much,

The problem has been identified as a compiler bug, and bug number 6782987 has been filed for it.
The bug report will be visible at bugs.sun.com in a day or two.
Compiler versions earlier than 5.9 (Sun Studio 12) are not very good a compiling BOOST, but this particular bug exists in the latest development compiler. One of our engineers is looking for a workaround, and he will post something here if he finds one.
A fix for this bug should show up in a future patch to Sun Studio 12. If you have a service contract with Sun, you can escalate this bug for faster service, and get a pre-release version of the compiler patch.

Hi,
we are currently using SunStudio 12. I have noticed that early access product, SunStudio Express, Feb2008. It seems that new features coming from NetBeans 6.0 have contributed to SunStudio IDE. I prefer to use SunStudio Express IDE. But i have also noticed that sun CC compiler version is also different. Actually it is no surprise, since SunStudio is a complete product composed of compilers, tools and IDE.Now, i am quite doubtful whether we should use SunStudioExpress. That's why i want to learn when official new release for SunStudio will be announced.
Though i have searched internet, i couldn't notice any news about the next official release of Sun Studio( Sun Studio 13 ). When will this early release( SunStudio Express, Feb 2008 ) be released as SunStudio13? What is the release roadmap of SunStudio?

Sun Studio 10 Released!

Sun Studio compilers and tools are now available on 64-bit AMD Opteron and SPARC Solaris 10 platforms. With this release, Sun Studio 10 software extends its development environment to the AMD64 architecture and delivers reliable, scalable and high performance applications for the Solaris 10 Operating System. � http://www.sun.com/software/products/studio/index.html

Actually, the implementation of -xpagesize and its friends will not be available on x86 until the next release. Sorry for the confusion.

Migrate Solaris 10 from Sun-Fire-V240 to T5140

Hi everyone.
Is it possible to migrate Solaris 10 running Oracle 10g RAC on a Sun-Fire-V240 to a T5140 without having to reinstall OS + Oracle-DB-software from scratch?
Because both servers are based on a SPARC-processor, I am guessing that it should be possible to patch/configure the OS to run on a T5140 instead of a V240.
Well, I have tried the following:
1) Booting the T5140 using "disk1" (c1t0d0).
2) Formatting "disk2" (c1t1d0) in the same number of slices I have on the V240.
3) newfs on every slice, mounting and copying from V240 to T5140 using "ufsdump/ufsrestore" over ssh.
4) Editing the /etc/vfstab.
5) installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
...Because I haven't got the correct platform for T5140 on the V240-install (even though it is patched recently), I used the one on the T5140.
6) Removed the /etc/path_to_inst and tried to "boot -ar" (after switching disk2 to "disk1-controller-position").
When 1-6 did not work, I tried a few other things:
a) Replace the /platform and /usr/platform with the ones on the T5140 (Generic_137111-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5140).
b) Replace the /kernel with the one from the T5140 (Generic_137111-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5140).
c) Replace the /etc/path_to_inst with the one from the T5140.
No luck so far.
So I am left with my initial question - is it possible to patch or configure the V240-Solaris10-installation, so it will run on a T5140?
Thanks,
Niels

In theory you can, but the question is if you want the issues. Migrating between architectures is only recommended for sparse zones, but not for any other. In this case it's you go from sun4u to sun4v which will give you enough of issues beside te changing hardware paths and configuration items.

Application Migration from HP-UNIX to SUN Solaris

Hi Gurus,
Need help on the application migration from HP-UNIX to Sun Solaris . Copied the filesystems APPL_TOP, OA_HTML, OA_JAVA, COMMON_TOP/util and COMMON_TOP/_pages from SOURCE( HP) to TARGET SUN-solaris as per 238276.1

Need help building boost_1_37_0 on Solaris 10 U6 with Sun Studio 12

Hi,
Ok, please bear with me here. I've tried many different sets of instructions, and haven't had success with any of them (including the ones at http://blogs.sun.com/sga/category/Boost).
Operating System: Solaris 10 x86 U6
Compiler: Sun Studio 12 (SUNCC version 5.9)
Boost version: 1.37.0
The ONLY part of boost that I need is regex. I've never built external libraries before and building boost on Solaris seems a rather daunting task. So, could someone please explain, as clearly as possible, how do I build the boost::regex library using SUNCC?
I know this is a very broad topic, but since I haven't had any luck with any existing instructions that google turns up, alas I am here.
Thanks in advance if someone can help me,
~Slow
Note: I don't need any special options, any special, non-standard install paths, nothing. Just a straight, stock, boost install.
Edited by: SlowToady on Nov 10, 2008 2:18 PM

First, be sure you have the current patches for Sun Studio 12. You can get them here:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/
Please install the current C++ compiler patch, the C compiler patch, and the common back-end compiler patch.
You should then be able to build BOOST 1.37.0. The only problem I know of has been filed as CR 6767881, which results in an incorrect complaint about a constructor not being accessible. But I don't think that one affects regex.
If you running into some other problem after patching the compiler, please post enough detail that we can investigate it.
Questions about how to build just a portion of BOOST are probably best addressed to a BOOST forum.

Poor performance of string::append on Solaris 10 with Sun Studio 10

I found string::append(size_type num, char ch) of libCstd consumes too much cpu time comparing with stlport. Anybody knows if this is a known issue on Solaris 10 and Sun Studio 10? Or if I need to use special build options to build with libCstd?
For example: a.c
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
string ss;
for ( i=0; i<60000; i++)
ss.append(1, 'A');
cout << clock();
cout << endl;
return 0;
}Build with libCstd:
CC a.c -o a1
Build with stlport:
CC -library=%none -library=stlport4 a.c -o a2
a1 outputs: 10000
a2 outputs: 1900000
You can see how big different they have. I am sure their running environment is same.

I suspect this is due to a bug in libCstd that manifests itself by reallocating the string for each append. Compile and run the program below:
#include <string>
#include <new>
#include <stdlib.h>
int in_main;
void* operator new (size_t nbytes) throw (std::bad_alloc) {
if (in_main) printf ("operator new (%zu)\n", nbytes);
return malloc (nbytes);
void operator delete (void *p) throw () {
if (in_main) printf ("operator delete (%p)\n", p);
free (p);
int main () {
in_main = 1;
std::string ss;
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
printf ("append(1, 'A')\n");
ss.append (1, 'A');
in_main = 0;
}

Cross platform migration from hp unix to sun

Hi
recently we have done cross platform migration from hp unix to sun (10g R2 RAC +ASM). It was a challenging experience to complete the migration in 8 hours downtime for a database of about 2 TB.
I would like to share the experience , so that it would be hepfull to others and i would learn more new techniques for improvement .
source environment:
HP-UX -ITANIUM - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle clusterware - ASM - Heavily loaded all the time .
Destination Env:
Sun solaris 10 - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle Clusterware - ASM
Total Downtime available : 6 hours.
Steps followed
1. snapshot backup of source database on a intermediate HP-Unix box. (stage area)
2. recover the database and start the rman image backup on to disk in stage area.
3. mount this filesystem locally (Veritas ) on to one of the node in the destination env.
4. Mount this filesystem as NFS on second node using a cross cable between both of them (we can use interconnect VLAN also here)
5. Keep applying the archive logs from source env till the downtime .
5. startup nomount the database , change the datafile names from ASM to RMAN image copy files and mount.
6. start rman convert statements and pump into the already exisitng ASM nodes with parallel sessions as much as possible (with 35 sets (513 datafiles) we were able to pump 2 TB data in 4.5 Hrs) - only system and undo datafiles need a convert statements (platform migration ) others would need a file system to ASM conversion only.
7. alter database open resetlogs in the destination environment.
8. create services manually and start the application.
we were given very less time to decide upon this stategy , By gods grace we were able to complete it .
I got a doubt while we are chalking out this plan .
can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.
Let me know if you see any more improvements in this.
Thanks

Two compile issues with Sun Studio 12 @ x86(_64 = amd64)

The following two issues are absent on Solaris 10 SPARC and all previous Sun Studio versions (8 to 11), but present on both amd64 Solaris 10 and Linux 2.6 versions:
1. mozilla.org's Spidermonkey "JavaScript" (ECMAscript) can't be compiled with it: in file jsinterp.c an endless loop is entered by the optimizer in level -xO1 and higher (!). With no optimization, linking is impossible (unresolved symbols from jsinterp.o), which hints to defunct output.
2. the optimizer (ube) is crashing in sources with a switch with many many case labels in optimization level -xO3 and higher with a segfault.

I have trouble to seperate a reasonable (example) source out of our complex sources showing the second issue --- what I can already tell is, that the following special pragma has to do with it (while I'm now in doubt that the each 256 case labels per switch, two switches in an if else clause have to do with it):
#pragma opt 0 (func_name)
Own1 Own2 func_name(...)
The buggy versions I can tell you: they are
on Solaris 10 amd64:
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 2007/05/03
/opt/SUNWspro/prod/bin/ube -V
ube: Sun Compiler Common 12 SunOS_i386 2007/05/03
on GNU/Linux:
cc -V
cc: Sun C 5.9 Linux_i386 2007/05/03
ube -V
ube: Sun Compiler Common 12 Linux_i386 2007/05/03
The only important compiler option in this regard seems to be the optimization level, but the situation is complex too, if others should be also involved. I will investigate further...
