Minimum Solaris installation for Directory Server

Hello,
i want to set up a new Solaris installation for Sun ONE directory server.
But i don't want to install always the "entire distribution" and then turn off all services. I want to keep the solaris os installation as small as possible. Has anybody tried this before and can report some experiences? Is the "reduced network" cluster the right way to go or better the "core" cluster? Does anybody have a list of the packages which must be installed after a minimal solaris installation for the ds to work?
Thanks a lot,
af_inet

Since you original question is "minimum requirement
at the SERVER", I would say that X is not really
needed at the server end if you use installer text
mode CLI (command is "./installer -nodisplay")
instead of installer graphical mode (GUI). However,
to fix uninstall/reinstall issue, X is needed as the
"prodreg" which is used to uninstall packages is a X
program, without text mode option.This is correct.
It is not a must to run ./startconsole (X program)
LOCALLY so as to perform DS admin functions as you
could always run SUN ONE Console REMOTELY from any
remote host (Windows or UNIX/Linux) with just the
console binaries installed. (for large data centre
env. the LDAP server is usually locked in server room
away from your desk and you tend to use remote admin
console).This is correct too. I think it's a matter of taste if i want to install console on the DS itself or on a separate host. As long as i have only one DS i will leave it on the machine itself. But you are right, this is not a must. So i should have asked my question more precicely :-)
Thank you very much,
Chris

(Deployment) Minimum Software required for BUILD server and IIS WebServer

We have a simple .Net SDK application written using VB-2005 and the Crystal Reports XI (R2) DEVELOPER package.
The RPT files are posted on our BOE-XI (R2) server, and are called using the View-On-Demand method from the Page Server (similar to the SDK sample application). At some point in the future, our .Net applications may invoke some of the other SDK content types.
In our environment, the .NET web-applications are checked-in to Clear Case, and then sent to a stand-alone BUILD server to be compiled. The compiled .NET web-applications are then posted to a stand-alone IIS WebServer (not the IIS server that hosts BOE InfoView/CMC).
The BUILD server and IIS WebServer have to be as "stripped-down" as possible in order to go through our QAT and Impact Analysis process.
So far we have had success if we deploy the SDK-only install from the Crystal Reports XI (R2) DEVELOPER package, and the service packs, but it doesn't include all the SDK components for other BOE content types.
If we deploy the Client-only install from the BOE-XI (R2) package, and the service packs - it doesn't seem to include the CR-Viewer which we need. But it does includes a bunch of extra software (eg. UNIVERSE DESIGNER) on the desktop of the BUILD server and IIS WebServer that our QA guys don't like.
What are the Minimum Software required for BUILD server and IIS WebServer to support CR and BOE SDKs...?
Are there any install packages that contain JUST those components, and not all the extra software that is not needed to Build/Deploy in .NET...?
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Due to the CrystalDecisions.web.dll for the 2.0 framework being left off the BOE CD you will need to install the Crystal XI R2 runtimes as well as the BOE SDK.
To get the BOE SDK launch the Enterprise XI R2 installer and choose Server Install - not Client Install. Choose a Custom install. You'll be presented with a drop down list for the Enterprise components. Deselect everything and then look for the Developer Components option. You may have to drill down into one of the levels to find it. Under Developer Components you'll see the BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK. Select it to install it.

Compatible tomcat version for Directory server 6.3

Dear All,
Could someone please tell me which version of Tomcat will be the compatible for Directory Server 6.3. And i am new to this directory server environment, here i need to install tomcat too so kindly send me the steps for installing tomcat. Thanks!
Regards,
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
Directory Server 6.3 Control Center has been released many years ago, so it has been certified (so this means that IT IS OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED) on the most common application servers at that time, so Tomcat 5.5 and Sun App Server 8.2.
Personally I've run the DSCC also on the latest releases of Tomcat (6.0.35 at the time of writing) and Glassfish (2.1.1 series) for test deployments absolutely fine; but in case of issues, if you want your solution to be 'officially supported' by Oracle, you've got to reproduce the problem on the supported app servers in the compatibility matrix.
HTH,
marco
P.S.: also Directory Server 6.3 is getting older and older... at least try to get the latest patch: 6.3.1.1.1
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19261-01/E26994/html/index.html
The latest release is now 11.1.1.5.0 if you don't have any architectural/sw compatibility constraint, try to move/migrate to a more recent release

Offline installer for Lion Server? Can it be done?

Hi guys,
/rant
Before I get to the topic of this post let me state, the claimed download size for Lion Server is WAAAAAY off the +14MB they say it is. I have reinstalled it few times now and this time around I monitored the download and it came in at the +200MB mark!!! Sure, maybe the initial installer is only 14MB but it pulls down another +200MB when setting it up. Why is this not mentioned on the App Store page? Surely we should be told about such a large additional download.
/end rant
Can anyone tell me if its possible to make an offline installer for Lion Server, in the same way that it can be done for the Lion client?
I have been tinkering with it a lot and have had to reinstall a few times and would prefer to not have to download 200MB everytime I screw something up, if it can be avoided.
Thanks in advance.

Hi defecta,
i have the same problem. I had to install a new server with lion at the cusomers site in a heavy military bunker below earth and no internet around. I was allowed to bring the server up to surface and give it internet with a myfi. As you can imagine it took some hours to download on a bad mobile connection out in the woods. I do know i have to install that server from scratch after it has been tested.
Have you or anyone else been able to capture the download? Is there a place to get an offline install package, a DVD or Stick. Sadly its to late now to image that server after fresh install.

Hi Mac4lfe: If you want to SYNCH between the Mac and the ATV, then any G3 will do, just expect the synching to be slow. If you want to STREAM from the Mac to ATV, then a G3 will do for music but not for video. If you want to stream video, a G4 will do, but you will get a lot of beachballs when you do anything on iTunes and sometimes the streaming will fail. I suggest you get the cheapest Intel Mac, you will have a much better experience when streaming. Lastly, remember you will need a screen for the Mini, there will always be warnings, error messages, updates, etc in iTunes that you need a screen, mouse and keyboard for. Very lastly, you can just get the ATV and buy music, TV shows, Movies and rent movies without a Mac. 160GP shall be enough. I have 40 movies, 20 full TV seasons and 6000 songs and am just over 400GB.

H/w requirements for DIrectory server for 200,000 users

Hi,
I would like to implement Directory services for 200,000 users. How can I know whether iPlanet Directory 5.1 will support this many users or not? If supports, Which h/w I have to use?
If any one can let me know the formula to calculate users and h/w
Thanks

The directory server can handle many more users than 200K. The hardware requirements calculations are amply explained in the book "Solaris and LDAP Naming Services" by Bialaski. If you have iPlanet support contract they can provide you tuning information which includes this info.
You should remember the possibility of growth and load in terms of number of clients and peak requests per second. With your needs, my gut feeling is that even a Netra can host it. However, if it's an enterprise service you may want to go with at least 220 machines in a replicated configuration for load balancing and availability.
DISCLAIMER: Use these opinions at your own risk. You must do your own analysis and calculations to design a suitable physical/logical architecture.

Can't find SP4 patch for directory Server 5.1

I am trying to upgrade directory Server 5.1 SP2 to SP4 on sunOS 5.8, but am having some difficulties in finding the actual patch. Below is what the release notes for SP4 say about updating form a previous 5.1 version. I have found the 113859-04 patch, but it is for sunOS 5.9. I even tried to run this patch on the test server but found that it complained about everything being out of date. I have downloaded directory Server 5.1 SP4 so I could try the ZIP install, but could not find any patch ZIP that they reference from the release notes section below. I am assuming if I just do the standard install of the Directory Server 5.1 SP4 it well destroy my current configuration instead of updating it. I am hoping for any help in this upgrade as I have not found any information in all my searches. thanks for the Help.
# If you are running a ZIP installation, upgrade by using the patch ZIP provided with Directory Server 5.1 SP4
# If you are running IPLT packages, upgrade by installing the following packages:
SPARC: 113859-04
x86: 114273-04

I forgot to tell one thing: I use SSL, without SSL I do not have this problem. Perhaps it's only the popup I get when starting DS, where I have to enter the certificate password?

Minimum Solaris OS for SunFire V210 1.33Ghz CPU

Hi,
I have checked Sunsolve and it is mentioned that the minimum requirement would for Solaris 8 would be HW 07/03 (requires mandatory patch 109885-15).
My existing server runs on Solaris 8 HW 5/03.
Do I need to upgrade to HW 07/03 to support the 1.33Ghz CPU?
What are the steps that need to be taken?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Do I need to upgrade to HW 07/03 to support the 1.33Ghz CPU?
Yes. The required kernel support was added in Solaris 8 HW 7/03. This version is also called Solaris 8 PSR3 (PSR=Platform Specific Release). These PSRs don't necessarily add new features, but are released to support new platforms/cpus (in this case the 1.33GHz cpu).
If you try to boot an unsupported release (e.g. Solaris 8 HW 5/03 =PSR2), it can't locate the proper kernel and ask for the path to the kernel (which is indeed not available on this boot media).
You may try to apply the kernel patch 108528-22 before upgrading to the 1.33GHz cpu. This is the initial kernel version of Solaris 8 HW 7/03.
The latest PSR is Solaris 8 2/04 (PSR4) with kernel patch 108528-29.
You can review InfoDoc 46808 (Solaris default kernel (patch) versions).
Note: I'm not sure if PSR is Platform Specific Release or Product Specific Release.

URL to be used in high availability for Directory Server

Hi All,
I have an environment configured for high availability. I have two OVD and OID servers each in this environment, configured in high availability. What should be the value in the Server URL field of the Directory Server IT Resource in the OIM for this environment? In the normal environment, I had it as "ldap://ovdhost01:6501" and it was working fine. But since there are two servers here, I am not sure what URL to use in place of this. The entry for the two ovd hosts in the OHS is "idstore.com" which is configured on 6501 port. But I tried using the following URLs and none of them worked:
1. idstore.com
2. ldap://idstore.com
3. ldap://idstore.com:6501
4. ldap://ovdhost01:6501,ldap://ovdhost01:6501
Can someone help me know the correct URL to be used in this case?
Thanks,
$id

Not sure about OVD or OID but for SOA and OIM:
SOA:
XMLConfig -> XMLConfig.SOAConfig -> SOAConfig
Rmiurl -> t3://soahost1:soaport1,soahost2:soaport2
Soapurl -> Load balancer or web server url (without the /workflow context)
OIM:
XMLConfig -> XMLConfig.DiscoveryConfig -> Discovery
OimFrontEndUrl -> Load balance or web server url (without the /oim context)
And ofcourse on your LB or WebServer, you need to configure these:
SOA: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e10106/ha_soa.htm#CHDDJEGD
OIM: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/core.1111/e10106/imha.htm#BGBDFEIE

Can't start NT service for Directory Server using other acc. than LocalSys.

Hi!
I'm using Directory Server 5.1 on a Windows 2000 machine.
I wrote a Plug-In for DS that needs Administrator Access to the NT Domain. So I tried to run the DS-Service as Administrator but the service can not start. I just keeps in status "starting...".
I don't get any error message and the errorlog doesn't contain anything.
Has anyone an idea?
Thanks!
Florian

How can I achieve high available solution for directory server

You can start with deploying multi master replication which will give you 2 servers available for writes (and as many read-only consumers as you want).
You can also install Directory Server in a Cluster (using Sun Cluster) which will provide more failover capabilities.
If you combine both, you should be able to have almost no downtime.
You can also use the Directory Proxy Server (aka iDAR) to provide transparent failover for client applications.
I hope this help.

Ludovic.
