Missing dependency in Solaris 10 Update8 iscsi initiator / zones not booted

In previous Solaris 10 Releases, the iscsi_initiator smf service had the following
dependeny:
# svcs -D iscsi_initiator
STATE STIME FMRI
online Jan_11 svc:/system/metainit:default
Because this one is missing with Update 8, the service is even started after
the zones services.
online 14:45:50 svc:/system/zones:default
online 14:46:01 svc:/network/iscsi/initiator:default
Result:
- No filesystems on iSCSI disks mounted, no Zone on iSCSI running ... after system boot.
Any ideas?

Quick thought...
What happens if you mark all you zones to not boot as a default setting so system boot you won't have this race condition. Then have an rc3highnumber script that probes the services and makes sure all drivers and filesystems are available. Once available, boot the zones, and reset the autoboot option if need be. But make sure the rc3script has the autoboot function disabled again on the way down. This should hold the problem together until Sun/Oracle fixes this issue.
Nasty hack, but that's software for you.
Thoughts?

(Target failed to respond in time for a logout request) - - - Two Node's Iscsi initiator is not able to connect simultaneoulsy

Environment
OS = Windows 2003R2
Iscsi initiator = 2.0.8
Microsoft Iscsi Target = 3.3
Error in event viewer = Target failed to respond in time for a logout request.
Source iScsiPrt, Event ID 44
Problem
I have two systems with Win2003 R2 installed with Iscsi initiator 2.0.8. One Iscsi initiator is connected with the target but when I connect the second system, the system is not able to connect and giving me login error mentioned above. I disconnect the
connected system(The system which is connected with windows target) and connect the system which is failing to connect with the windows target, this time the failing system able to connect with windows target.
My workaround
The system which is connected with the windows target, I restarted it. While restarting the system, I connect the other system which then connected successfully. Now this time when both systems are up and running both system's iscsi initiator is connected
with Windows target.
Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks. Zahid Haseeb.

Zones not booting - failed to create devlinks: Interrupted system call

I just installed the latest 10_Recommended cluster with 118833-36 kernel patch and now my zones won't boot. I get the error:

Also, running devfsadm or drvconfig;devlinks from the global zone will core dump.
Any ideas..??
tia..

First, you gotta change your prompt to something less embarrassing when you post to a public forum :)
I'd forget about the zones problem and focus on why devfsadm core dumps -- that's the core of the problem (no pun intended...no, really!).
First, review the install logs of all the patches installed during the recent service (/var/sadm/patch/*/log). Even if they all show a good completion, check the messages they generated, sometimes they have errors that aren't bad enough to cause a complete failure of the patch. The KJP (118833-36) is probably a good one to start with.
Next I'd "truss" the devfsadm command while it core dumps then get a stack trace of the core (run "adb <corefile>" and type "$C" -- that's old school, I'm sure mdb is much cooler...).
Throw some of the strings from those against sunsolve and see if something sticks.
Good luck!

Does iscsi initiator supported on SUN

I have a Sun Blade 2500 with SUN 5.9 OS installed.
I have configured ISCSI SAN and one of my Red Hat OS can accessed/mount the ISCSI SAN disk
Now i want to access/mount another ISCSI SAN disk on SUN solaris. Is that possible ?
Thanks

Hi.
iscsi initiator was introduced at Solaris 10.
So you can't connect iscsi device to Blade2500 at Solaris 9.
I am not sure about third party software for iscsi initiator. ( Never listen but and not never find )

ISCSI Initiator favourites revert to using the IPv6 or the apipa IP address from other NICs instead of the source IP address that I specified

Windows 2008 R2
ISCSI Initiator favourites revert to using the IPv6 or the apipa IP address from other NICs instead of the source IP address that I specified.
When I manually connect to multiple targets and specify the correct ISCSI source IP address, I check the favourites and everything looks okay. But when the server is rebooted I check the favourites again and the source IP is now referencing the IPv6 and
sometimes the apipa address.
I have unbound IPv6 from the ISCSI NICS but this has made no difference.
Can anyone explain why this is happening?
Although the server still reconnects to the storage oaky, I’m concerned that if a path goes down that is might try to use the wrong interface to re-establish a connection.
Thanks.

Hi,
IPV6 is supported with MS iSCSI. Do you have Multiple Connections per Session (MCS) configured? Is your storage configured to use both IPv4 and IPv6?
If yes, please see if http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2014131 helps.
Hope this helps.

SMC doesn't work in any solaris 10 whole-root zones

All
Are you aware of SUN not designing whole-root zones to work with Solaris Management Console?
None of my solaris 10 whole-root zones/containers will run Solaris Management Console. Very, very frustrating!
Anyone have a trick to get around this crazy design??
Thank you!
SB

Thanks for your help!
Yes, i see all font types.
But maybe i havn't explained my problem good enough:
I have a FLA-File which works great in Flash CS3: everything – even on different computers – is okay!
The same FLA-File on the same computer in Flash CS6: the font-rendering is broken!
In CS6 there seems to be a difference between textfields made via ActionScript and textfields on the stage: see the attached file in my first post.

Missing Dependency while installing validated rpm

I installed the Oracle Linux 5.5 with the base package and software development option. Then I downloaded the validated rpm oracle-validated-1.0.0.-22.el5.i386.rpm
root] yum install ./oracle-validated-1.0.0-22.el5.i386.rpm
Missing Dependency: unixODBC-devel is needed by package ....
Missing Dependency: sysstat is needed by package .....
Please help. Thanks

It's probably also not the most up2date version:
# yum list oracle-validated
Loaded plugins: security
Installed Packages
oracle-validated.x86_64 1.1.0-3.el5 installedUnless you haven't done it yet, you might want to check http://public-yum.oracle.com and follow the instructions. You can then use yum to install or update software packages, rather than having to download rpm packages manually. Yum will automatically fetch/upgrade the latest versions and solve package dependencies for you. Don't forget step no 3 to enable the sections [el5_oracle_addons] [el5_addons] [el5_u5_base] and [ol5_u5_base] if you wish to install the new Oracle optimized kernel.
after that it's simply
# yum install oracle-validated
# yum install sysstat
# yum install unixODBC-develEdited by: Markus Waldorf on Sep 29, 2010 12:39 PM

Is there any iSCSI Initiator for Lion OS?

Hi everyone. I had being using a QNAP nass for a while now. I had frew iSCSI disk for all my files. The software I used was
globalSAN iSCSI Initiator for OS X. After installing the new Apple Lion OS my iSCSI desapear. The initiator does not work any more. I read other post and it seams that the sotware is not compatible anymore.
Does anyone knows about any iSCSI initiator solution for Lion?
Thanks.

Just to you guys know, I have been in contact with Studio Network Solutions, the company behind globalSAN iSCSI initiator, and they have sent the following, rather encouraging, email back:
Hello James,
We are working on an update for our globalSAN iSCSI Initiator.
Please subscribe to this forum in order to receive the latest product announcements:

Oracle 11.2.0.3 upgrade running on Solaris 10 using zfs/zones

Hello,
We currently run solaris 10 using zfs/zones.
We have a global zone and several sparse root zones.
The oracle upgrade (from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3) prerequiste check is reporting the following warnings:
OS kernel parameter "tcp_smallest_anon_port" plus 3 other warnings for tcp_largest_anon_port and for the udp ports as well
This requires that we use ndd to change the values for these ports in the global zone.
These changes will affect all of the sparse root zones and not just the one we are upgrading Oracle in.
Will this pose any problems or is safe to make these port changes in the global zone.
Thanks
Kevin

Missing dependency error while installing kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 and yum-utils package

Hi Experts,
I'm not able to install the kernel in Oracle Linux using "Yum install". I'm getting error's while installing Kernel. The Kernel version is 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 (in the linux CD of virtual box) Can you please guide me how to proceed further.
I used the commands below :
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
yum install kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64
I'm getting so many errors saying "Error Missing Dependency libpq.so.4() 64bit" Error missing dependency libmysqlclient.so.15()64 bit
Please find screenshot below : http://imageshack.com/a/img30/33/kp5z.jpg
I searched through the net and tried using "yum clean all" and yum update etc.. but the problem is not resolved...
Please note I booted from a linux Oracle linux 6 bootable CD and trying to install Oracle Linux 6 kernel on my machine..
I tried installing "yum-utils" package too using the below command, but that too failed giving missing dependency errors..
Yum install yum-utils
I dont' know much about linux and stuck with the issues above for more than 30 days now... please help...
Regards Jags

You cannot use the yum utility to do a major version upgrade, such as upgrading from Oracle Linux 5 to Oracle Linux 6. Kernel version 2.6.32-358.el6 is the RHCK kernel and requires Oracle Linux 6. So if your attempt was to install a driver that works only for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel, you will have to upgrade the OS first. For this you must start from the OL6 installation DVD, but upgrading between major release versions is not officially supported. You can however upgrade to the latest Oracle UEK kernel, by enabling the appropriate channel in the yum repository configuration file.

ISCSI Initiator for Mac OS 10.8

Hello everyone! I need an iSCSI Initiator for Mac OS 10.8. Are there any suggestions? I've tried globalSAN, but it seems to be too expensive. Can you advise something?

unfortunately, there is no free iSCSI Initiator. a nice competitor of globalSAN is DAEMON Tools Lite for Mac (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtMacLite). it is a software for mounting images, but it has an additional iSCSI Initiator feature that costs €50 (€56.90 together). you can try it for free to get to know whether it is good enough for you.€6.90€6.90

ISCSI initiator not connecting after upgradation

HI,
iSCSI initiator not connecting after upgradation from windows 2003 STD to windows 2008 STD R2 server, upgradation was successfully completed, except Microsoft iSCSI initiator connectivity, the initiaor interface show it as 'reconnecting'....!!!!!
Kindly guide on this.
Thanks in Advance

HI Shaon Shan,
Thanks for the info.
While searching for the file names start with iscsi in c:\windows\system32 folder the file version is 5.2.3790.3825 in working windows 2003 server.
Recently I've downloaded (Not yet installed) iSCSI initiator for Windows 2008 from Microsoft website in that iSCSI initiator file version shown as 6.3.4.1, instead of using inbuilt Microsoft iSCSI initiator in W2K8, shall I try installing the downloaded
version,
because when I checked in Windows 2008 (Upgraded version) the iSCSI file version remains the same as 5.2.3790.3825 which was found in windows 2003.
Post to our previous discussion
While I'm trying to install the new iSCSI initiator for Windows 2008 downloaded from Microsoft website, it shows some error "Setupcould not find the update.inf file needed to update your system" then I've updated my server, but no luck still showing the
same....!!!!

ISCSI Initiator - Cannot Change Drive Letters

Good afternoon-
I added two iSCSI LUNs to one of my servers using the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Everything seems to be working fine, except for the fact that the drive letters are reversed - Volume 1 is my F: drive and Volume 2 is E:.
Because I need to use one script across multiple servers, I need to change these drive letters. When I right click them in Server Manager, the Change drive letter option is greyed out. Is there a different way to do this?
Thank you!

Thanks Mr. X! I was able to fix this with DISKPART. Here are the instructions taken from your link:
1. Open Command Prompt.
2.Type:
diskpart
3.At the DISKPART prompt, type:
list volume
Make note of the number of the simple volume whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.
4. At the DISKPART prompt, type:
select volume n
Select the volume, where n is the volume's number, whose drive letter you want to assign, change, or remove.
5.At the DISKPART prompt, type one of the following:
assign letter=L
Where L is the drive letter you want to assign or change.
remove letter=L
Where L is the drive letter you want to remove.
