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.

Solaris 10 and sunfire V210 server

I have a sunfire v210 server and Solaris 10 is already preinstalled. When I set up the server I asked for no DHCP and configured the network card on bge0 with a specified IP address. Somehow the configuration . How do I configure bge0

If you just want to configure bge0 ... until next reboot:
ifconfig bge0 inet <IP> netmask <NETMASK> up
If you want to make it persistent after next reboot:
check the content of the file /etc/hostname.bge0 make sure it matches
the entry in /etc/hosts (and /etc/inet/ipnodes)
If you want to re-configure your server from scratch /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig

Monitoring tool for SunFire V210

Hello,
We are running a couple of SunFire V210. These servers are doing their job and we never have to touch them, this is the main reason why we have no expertise on these servers.
One of the servers indicators is actually yellow, so I reckon I must have some Hardware issue with it. Is there any monitoring tool available on Solaris to perform a diagnostic (equivalent od Dell OpenManage on Dell server)?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Fred

There is no "best" monitoring tool for AS. It all depends on what your shop is using currently for monitoring of other servers / services. You could monitor your AS using AS Control, but it doesn't send you any alerts etc. OEM might be a good choice, but not if you have to install (and but) it for one server etc. etc.

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

SUNFIRE V210, E1F64 read error boot failed?

Does anyone know what this error means on the Sunfire v210 server?

Moderator Action:
This thread has been moved from the Solaris Kernel discussion space,
to the Sun Servers HARDWARE discussion space, for closer topic alignment.
I concur with Pascal that you do not have a Solaris kernel issue, nor even a Solaris issue.
You have an ancient AXI systemboard (which was a piece of hardware manufactured by Sun Microsystems for the OEM market -- most likely the SPARCengine CP1500 board). It is UltraSPARC-IIi hardware that is about 15 to 20 years old, and it is tired.
I suggest you shut the box down, completely take it apart and then put it back together again.
Remove all accumulated dust and lint.
Remove and reinstall the CPU modules. Remove and reinstall the RAM. Remove and reinstall all expansion board risers. Remove and reinstall all adapter cards. Examine all internal data cabling. Clean any and all cooling fans as well as the power supply.
That action will burnish all mechanical and electrical connections.
After you have re-assembled the box, boot from CDROM and examine all your filesystems. FSCK any that require it.

Installing Solaris 10 on Sunfire V120 via network boot from Linux

I have been given a free SunFire V120 server loaded with and old copy of Solaris 9. The problem is that this server no longer has the internal DVD/CDRom drive any more. Google'd for finding a replacement CD-Rom drive show cost more than the SunFire V120 unit itself.
The plan: Install Solaris 10 for SPARC on Sunfire V120 Server
Available:
-- Sun Microsystems SunFire V120 Server (1GB of Ram and 2x 36GB 10K RPM SCSI3 drives)
-- CentOS 5.1 Linux Server
-- Solaris 10 SPARC DVD ISO Image
-- DB25 to RJ45 Serial Cable accessing V120 LOM via Minicom application on CentOS 5 server
Via the http://www.docbert.org/Solaris/Jumpstart/linux.html site, I have configured the following:
* NFS Server (nfs-utils under RedHat)
* bootparams server (bootparamd under RedHat)
* rarpd server (rarpd under RedHat)

Anyone know where I can get the firmware (OBP) update / upgrade version 4.22 for the SunFire V120 server?
There is an old thread (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5137796) that talks of having to update your firmware 4.22.x, but I have looked through the SunSolve site and I cannot find a reference to this firmware any place for the SunFire V120 servers.

Minimum order value for Purchase orders

Hello,
This is my requirement: -
A condition type needs to be created for Minimum Oder Value for PO. If the PO value is say, 450 and the condition record in 500, the PO value must be adjusted to 500. If PO value is 550, then it remains 550.
1. Condition records must be maintained.
2. Must be calculated on whole PO (all items) and then redistributed among items in a suitable ratio.
This is what I have already tried:-
1. Vendor master - No use maintain minimum order value as PO price must be adjusted through condition types.
2. Tried replicating PMIN condition type and it works but only at item level - this calculation must take place at header level. Also it works only for calculation type "Quantity".
Please suggest how this can be implemented, hopefully through configuration only.

Minimum steps required for Change Management and Incident management

Hello experts,
Does anyone have a check list of the absolute minimum steps required for getting Change Management and Incident management functioning in Solution Manager.
I just need it to function with creating changes and incidents and be able to assign them, change their status and close them.
The purpose is to get an idea if this is something for us to use. If we then find it useable, then we will go for a full scale implementation using official guides, education etc.
I just need an absolute minimum guide for demonstrating the functions, and if you guys have any recommendations, things we should pay special attention to or other experiences feel free to tell me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kenneth

What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4?

What are the minimum system requirements for GB 4? I did search this forum but wasn't able to find a direct answer.
I'm running version 3.0.4 successfully on a lowly G4 733 but I suspect this is as far as I can go.
I'm updating to iDvd'08 and was also wondering if I can safely update to GB4 or not (from GB 3.0.7) on a G4 733 mhz Digital Audio. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. My guess is that I cannot but I'd like to confirm prior to attempting any further updates in GB.

I try my best to play it safely; always. And you were right, everything worked on the ext. FW HD flawlessly ...... truly amazing software!
(I did happen to check the activity Monitor w/in Utilities and it showed GB4 using about 60-67% of the CPU on a G4 733 ..... I'm assuming this is normal).

Not sure if there's a correct order to opening these apps as there has been in former versions of iLife ..... however, this (as shown above) is the order in which I opened all apps, and all worked well.

Oracle 8.1.5 and Solaris v7 for Intel

they will work I would like to know.

How can I use the "gcc compiler and emacs editor" in Solaris 8 for Intel?

I installed Solaris 8 for Intel to my desktop computer.
After the installation, I found I couldn't use the companion software (the software CD included in the Multilinugal Media Kit for Solaris 8) - especially the emacs editor and gcc compilers.
I certainly installed the companion software to my computer. And I can identify that those softwares are
really installed to my system. In order to check out whether I installed them or not, I went to the "System Administrator" and opened the "Solaris Product Registry", in which I identified that all the files in
the companion software were succesfully installed in my computer.
However, when I open terminal or console box and tries to use those
software, the system responds that "there is no emacs or gcc."
Why I cannot use those things?
Did I install the companion software wrong?
I really don't understand why I can't use them.
For your reference, I saw the directories "/usr/bin" and "usr/ccs/bin"
too.
In /usr/bin I typed
#as
and no such command.
In /usr/ccs/bin
#as
and also no such command
was what I had as a response.
If I installed the companion software CD correctly and if they are installed somewhere in my computer,
where I can find them and how I can use those softwares?
Lastly, whenever I try to connect to my ISP via telnet mode, I see this
message.
"Try to connect ...
connected to ***.***.***.*** (IP address of my ISP)
Closed by foreign hosts."
Is there any one who knows why this happens?
Thanks for reading my question.

gcc and emacs install in /opt/sfw. You should change your path statement to include /opt/sfw/bin and should obtain the FAQ from sunfreeware.com. The FAQ answers all your questions.
I have installed gcc and gtk and am using both at this time.

I'm trying to download the trial version of Adobe Illustrator. An error message says that the OS does not meet the minimum system requirements for the installer. 10.6.0 is the minimum required for installation. How do I get my mac to be a 10.6.0 ?

Right now I have a 10.5.8 is there a way to upgrade or something?

Buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA).
That will take you to 10.6.3.
If required you can then use the combo updater to get to the latest version, 10.6.8 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399)

LabVIEW 2009 SP1 Run-Time Engine (Minimum) (32-bit) for Windows - Supported Features

Hi,
Can some one please point out what features are supported by the LV RTE (Minimum ) [LabVIEW 2009 SP1 Run-Time Engine (Minimum) (32-bit) for Windows]
1) Is there a limit on the size of the exe which can be run on it?
2) Will this support additional modules like DAQ etc.,? Or do we have to chose the regular installer ( 170 Mb ) for that purpose?
3) If a list of what it does or does not support is available, it would be extremely helpful.
Thanks In advance.
Regards,
Vijay

Anand,
I did go through both the links that you had sent earlier before posting on the forum. For eaxample refer the following link where it says,
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/lang/en/id/1599
It does not contain the full run-time engine, but will allow some executables to run.
1) What do they mean by 'some' executables. Is there a list of yay's and no's available?
2) Can someone from NI reply to this and shed more knowledge?
Regards,
Vijay

Can I set a minimum shipping charge for each catalog?

I'd like to set minimum shipping charges for each of my catalogs. Then have USPS or UPS kick in if it is more than the minimum shipping charge. Is this possible at all?
Josh

Hi Josh,
We don't have a feature for this exact requirement. We do have min/max quantity within products however as an alternative perhaps.
I'm not sure if you can maybe use some JS to accomplish what you are after. I'll leave this thread open to suggestions.
Kind regards,

I want to add a solar charger for iPhone 5 and iPad to my emergency kit. Are there recommendations for compatible solar products?

I want to add a solar charger for iPhone 5 and iPad to my emergency kit. Are there recommendations for compatible solar products?

If you are seldom in a Wi-Fi Network Area, then you can turn off Wi-Fi until you knowingly are in such a Network Area. You can go through your Applications where you don't really need to know the instant an Update is available and turn off the push update notifications. You can turn down the screen brightness. You can set the sleep cycle to 1-min. You could set your email to check for new messages every 30-min. rather than less than 1 min. Just some of many steps available.
