Hello
I'm new to solaris.
i am using solaris 10 on x86 machine. i'm using 2 hard disks. i installed solaris in one separate hard disk. now i want to mount my windows FAT 32 file system to my solaris.it is installed in another hard disk. any one can help me to use windows file system in solaris.
And i also know how to configure internet setting in solaris.. that is where i can enter the IP address ,Access point name. because i'm using internet using my PDA that is connected to my pc. please help me...
Thanks in Advance.

PPP and PPPoE configuration are described in the [Network Administration Guide|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4555/modemtm-1] .
A WWAN device should appear as a serial device in the */dev/term* directory. The [Wireless Wide Area Network|http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=134] discussion group is probably the best place to get specific questions answered regarding your setup.

  • Error in configuring Windows File System Repository

    Hi All,
    While trying to configure Windows File system repository we are getting the following error
    1. Getting this error when we give
    <ip address>\<shared folder name>
    Startup Error:  The localroot does not exist:
    10.1.100.44\Shared_folder
    2. Getting this error when we give
    <ip address>
    Startup Error:  host is unkown in file path '
    10.1.100.44' - invalid network path:
    10.1.100.44
    Could any one help in solving this issue.
    Regards,

    Hi Chiluveru Sravanthi
    According to the documentation, there is a difference between the path syntax for the repository manager and the network path. Did you pay attention to this difference when doing your configurations?
    Network paths (Network Path)
    Specifies the path to the Windows remote server.
    The path consists of the IP address of the Windows remote server, and a path specification.
    For example,
    192.168.0.1share
    Alternatively, you can enter the UNC name and path of the server, for example,
    servershare.
    SAP recommends that you specify the IP address, since you can then check the availability of the server more easily, using the ping command.
    Note: It is not sufficient to enter the server name alone. Specifications in the form of c$ cannot be resolved either.

    File System Repository Manager (Root Directory)
    This denotes the path to the root directory in the file system to which the repository manager is assigned.
    If you want to integrate documents from a Windows system, this can be a drive letter (followed by a colon) or directory path on the local server or a remote server share (for example, //myserver/myshare/somedir).
    If you are running your portal on UNIX and want to access the file system on another UNIX host, you must mount the required directory on the portal server.
    Example path when using a UNIX system:
    /usr/company/share
    The repository manager is responsible for the specified directory and all its subdirectories.
    Note that multiple repository manager configurations are not allowed to have the same subpath in their Localroot parameter.

  • Using JMX for detecting changes in windows file system?

    Can anybody help to find way to watch changes in windows file system.........Or say files are transfer in mounted drive i want to start access to those files as and when they come in drive.....do not wait while transferring all files ..

    Hi,
    JMX is a technology that will let a Java process expose information to a remote client application.
    It doesn't define what information to expose, but simply how to make it available externally.
    JMX per-se cannot be used to detect the kind of things you describe, but if you are able to detect them, JMX will help you making the information available to external applications.
    Hope this helps,

  • Mounting the Root File System into RAM

    Hi,
    I had been wondering, recently, how can one copy the entire root hierarchy, or wanted parts of it, into RAM, mount it at startup, and use it as the root itself.  At shutdown, the modified files and directories would be synchronized back to the non-volatile storage. This synchronization could also be performed manually, before shutting down.
    I have now succeeded, at least it seems, in performing such a task. There are still some issues.
    For anyone interested, I will be describing how I have done it, and I will provide the files that I have worked with.
    A custom kernel hook is used to (overall):
    Mount the non-volatile root in a mountpoint in the initramfs. I used /root_source
    Mount the volatile ramdisk in a mountpoint in the initramfs. I used /root_ram
    Copy the non-volatile content into the ramdisk.
    Remount by binding each of these two mountpoints in the new root, so that we can have access to both volumes in the new ramdisk root itself once the root is changed, to synchronize back any modified RAM content to the non-volatile storage medium: /rootfs/rootfs_{source,ram}
    A mount handler is set (mount_handler) to a custom function, which mounts, by binding, the new ramdisk root into a root that will be switched to by the kernel.
    To integrate this hook into a initramfs, a preset is needed.
    I added this hook (named "ram") as the last one in mkinitcpio.conf. -- Adding it before some other hooks did not seem to work; and even now, it sometimes does not detect the physical disk.
    The kernel needs to be passed some custom arguments; at a minimum, these are required: ram=1
    When shutting down, the ramdisk contents is synchronized back with the source root, by the means of a bash script. This script can be run manually to save one's work before/without shutting down. For this (shutdown) event, I made a custom systemd service file.
    I chose to use unison to synchronize between the volatile and the non-volatile mediums. When synchronizing, nothing in the directory structure should be modified, because unison will not synchronize those changes in the end; it will complain, and exit with an error, although it will still synchronize the rest. Thus, I recommend that if you synch manually (by running /root/Documents/rootfs/unmount-root-fs.sh, for example), do not execute any other command before synchronization has completed, because ~/.bash_history, for example, would be updated, and unison would not update this file.
    Some prerequisites exist (by default):
        Packages: unison(, cp), find, cpio, rsync and, of course, any any other packages which you can mount your root file system (type) with. I have included these: mount.{,cifs,fuse,ntfs,ntfs-3g,lowntfs-3g,nfs,nfs4}, so you may need to install ntfs-3g the nfs-related packages (nfs-utils?), or remove the unwanted "mount.+" entires from /etc/initcpio/install/ram.
        Referencing paths:
            The variables:
                source=
                temporary=
            ...should have the same value in all of these files:
                "/etc/initcpio/hooks/ram"
                "/root/Documents/rootfs/unmount-root-fs.sh"
                "/root/.rsync/exclude.txt"    -- Should correspond.
            This is needed to sync the RAM disk back to the hard disk.
        I think that it is required to have the old root and the new root mountpoints directly residing at the root / of the initramfs, from what I have noticed. For example, "/new_root" and "/old_root".
    Here are all the accepted and used parameters:
        Parameter                       Allowed Values                                          Default Value        Considered Values                         Description

        rootfstype                       Default of "-t <types>" of "mount"           "auto"                    Any string                                      The FS type of the source root.
        rootflags                         Default of "-o <options>" of "mount"        None                     Any string                                      Options when mounting the source root.
        ram                                 Any string                                                  None                     "1"                                                  If this hook sould be run.
        ramfstype                       Default of "-t <types>" of "mount"           "auto"                     Any string                                      The FS type of the RAM disk.
        ramflags                         Default of "-o <options>" of "mount"        "size=50%"           Any string                                       Options when mounting the RAM disk.
        ramcleanup                    Any string                                                   None                     "0"                                                  If any left-overs should be cleaned.
        ramcleanup_source       Any string                                                   None                     "1"                                                  If the source root should be unmounted.
        ram_transfer_tool          cp,find,cpio,rsync,unison                            unison                   cp,find,cpio,rsync                           What tool to use to transfer the root into RAM.
        ram_unison_fastcheck   true,false,default,yes,no,auto                    "default"                true,false,default,yes,no,auto        Argument to unison's "fastcheck" parameter. Relevant if ram_transfer_tool=unison.
        ramdisk_cache_use        0,1                                                              None                    0                                                      If unison should use any available cache. Relevant if ram_transfer_tool=unison.
        ramdisk_cache_update   0,1                                                              None                    0                                                     If unison should copy the cache to the RAM disk. Relevant if ram_transfer_tool=unison.
    This is the basic setup.
    Optionally:
        I disabled /tmp as a tmpfs mountpoint: "systemctl mask tmp.mount" which executes "ln -s '/dev/null' '/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount' ". I have included "/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount" amongst the files.
        I unmount /dev/shm at each startup, using ExecStart from "/etc/systemd/system/ram.service".
    Here are the updated (version 3) files, archived: Root_RAM_FS.tar (I did not find a way to attach files -- does Arch forums allow attachments?)
    I decided to separate the functionalities "mounting from various sources", and "mounting the root into RAM". Currently, I am working only on mounting the root into RAM. This is why the names of some files changed.
    Of course, use what you need from the provided files.
    Here are the values for the time spend copying during startup for each transfer tool. The size of the entire root FS was 1.2 GB:
        find+cpio:  2:10s (2:12s on slower hardware)
        unison:      3:10s - 4:00s
        cp:             4 minutes (31 minutes on slower hardware)
        rsync:        4:40s (55 minutes on slower hardware)
        Beware that the find/cpio option is currently broken; it is available to be selected, but it will not work when being used.
    These are the remaining issues:
        find+cpio option does not create any destination files.
        (On some older hardware) When booting up, the source disk is not always detected.
        When booting up, the custom initramfs is not detected, after it has been updated from the RAM disk. I think this represents an issue with synchronizing back to the source root.
    Inconveniences:
        Unison needs to perform an update detection at each startup.
        initramfs' ash does not parse wild characters to use "cp".
    That's about what I can think of for now.
    I will gladly try to answer any questions.
    I don't consider myself a UNIX expert, so I would like to know your suggestions for improvement, especially from who consider themselves so.

    How did you use/test unison? In my case, unison, of course, is used in the cpio image, where there are no cache files, because unison has not been run yet in the initcpio image, before it had a chance to be used during boot time, to generate them; and during start up is when it is used; when it creates the archives. ...a circular dependency. Yet, files changed by the user would still need to be traversed to detect changes. So, I think that even providing pre-made cache files would not guarantee that they would be valid at start up, for all configurations of installation. -- I think, though, that these cache files could be copied/saved from the initcpio image to the root (disk and RAM), after they have been created, and used next time by copying them in the initcpio image during each start up. I think $HOME would need to be set.
    Unison was not using any cache previously anyway. I was aware of that, but I wanted to prove it by deleting any cache files remaining.
    Unison, actually, was slower (4 minutes) the first time it ran in the VM, compared to the physical hardware (3:10s). I have not measured the time for its subsequent runs, but It seemed that it was faster after the first run. The VM was hosted on a newer machine than what I have used so far: the VM host has an i3-3227U at 1.9 GHz CPU with 2 cores/4 threads and 8 GB of RAM (4 GB ware dedicated to the VM); my hardware has a Pentium B940 at 2 GHz CPU with 2 cores/2 threads and 4 GB of RAM.
    I could see that, in the VM, rsync and cp were copying faster than on my hardware; they were scrolling quicker.
    Grub, initially complains that there is no image, and shows a "Press any key to continue" message; if you continue, the kernel panics.
    I'll try using "poll_device()". What arguments does it need? More than just the device; also the number of seconds to wait?

  • Retrieving Windows File System Icons

    I am building a tool similiar to windows explorer in Java 1.3.1
    Does anyone know how to access the windows file system icons. I noticed that java 1.4 has a method in the FileView class called getSystemIcon(File f) to retrieve the icon. Does anyone know how to do this in 1.3.1 ?
    Thanks,
    clevelam

    I wrote a program that displays all of the UIManager properties in a table format. Try running it and clicking on the FileView tab.
    http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
    Once you know which property you want to access, try something like this:
    UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
    Icon computerIcon = defaults.getIcon( "FileView.computerIcon" );

  • Windows & File System Repository - security issues

    Hello,
    I got a strange behavior in EP 6 SP 2 using KM and Windows file systems. Here is the scenario:
    - I created a Network Path and a File System Repository pointing to a Windows 2003 File System, following the portal help instructions. Both EP6 server and Windows 2003 server are in the same domain.
    - according the KM Monitor, the repository is up and running
    - the portal users can access their respectives folders in the file system after having their uids / passwords mapped in the user mapping option
    - the portal is assuming the permissions (read & write & list folder & etc) from windows
    So far it seemed to be everything ok - but after some tests we got the problem:
    - user "A" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and read & write access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through a KM iview, with r/w privileges.
    - user "B" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and ONLY read access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through an KM iview, with read privileges.
    - and here comes the problem: if user "A" is logged, and user "B" replaces his uid by user "A" uid in the user mapping (only the uid, the password doesn't matter) he can access the file system "dept_folder" with the same privileges than user "A".
    I looked in SDN, SAP Notes and SAP Portal Help trying to find an article related to this, no success so far. We have CM Patches 2 & 3 applied, and Patch 4 doesn't have any comment about this specific security problem.
    Has someone already face this problem ? Or could be something wrong in my configuration ?
    Rgds, and tks in advance
    Fernando Cervantes

    Hi David
    The same occurred here, I think I know the reason. Let me just give you an overview of my configuration:
    Network Path id          ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
    Description *            DRIVE I - CCC1FS Server
    Network Path *       
    ccc1fs\Drive_I
    Password           *********
    Re-Enter Password      *********
    User *            ccc\service
    The user was provided by the Windows administrator and has full control for this folder.
    File System Repository
    Description                  File System drive_i CCC1FS Server
    Prefix *                 /ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
    Root Directory *            //ccc1fs/drive_i
    Windows Landscape System       Windows
    ACL Manager                Not set
    Security Manager          W2KSecurityManager
    The important here is the Security Manager configuration - it must be W2KSecurityManager, otherwise you will have the user permissions overrided by admin user permission. And you will need to configure a Windows system landscape too.
    I hope this can help you...concerning the bosses, I got the same situation, I said the whole stuff would work fine
    Rgds,

  • My Backup.dmg is not mounting: No mountable file systems

    I had Mac OS X Leopard running with Boot Camp (Windows Vista). I needed extra space for my Mac OS so I deleted the Windows partition using the Boot Camp Assistant. Then, I shut down the computer, but after I turned it on, there was the flashing question mark, which meant that the computer couldn't recognize the Macintosh operating system that was installed. Therefore, I put in the Mac OS Install Disk, and tried to repair the disk but it said invalid BS_jmpBoot in block 000000. Seeing this, I decided to reinstall Mac OS X, but backing up with Disk Utility: Create New Compressed .DMG Image before doing so. After a successful installation, I tried to mount the image, but it says No Mountable File System. I feel hopeless, because all of my precious data was backed up in that disk image. When I try to verify or repair that disk using Disk Utility, it says Unrecognized File System. Are all the files on that image corrupt and impossible to recover, or is it possible to recover those files (but of course, losing some files, since the image appears to be corrupt).

    Again, if you cannot mount the image then there's no way to recover the files. If the image would mount then you could try repairing it with Disk Utility or try using recovery software to recover files from it. But if it doesn't mount then there's nothing you can do with it.
    If you want to try you can see if recovery software can find files on it. See the following:
    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    You can download trial versions of the software. The trials can be used to see if the software can recover anything, but then you must purchase the software to actually do any file recovery.

  • Mac Windows file system

    I have a 500gb external hard drive that I'd like to use on both my mac and pc and I'm not sure what file system to format it in or what program i should use to format it with? I believe Fat 16 or 32, I'm not sure can be formatted with disk utility but there are file size limitations.

    Is there a file system with no space limitations?
    Every filesystem has some size limit, and FAT32 is the best of those which can be read and written by Mac OS X and Windows out of the box. Third party software is needed to use any of the others.

  • Ocfs2 can not mount the ocfs2 file system on RedHat AS v4 Update 1

    Hi there,
    I installed ocfs2-2.6.9-11.0.0.10.3.EL-1.0.4-1.i686.rpm onto RedHat linux AS v4 update 1. Installation looks OK. And configure ocfs2 (At this stage i only added 1 node in the cluster), load and start accordingly. Then paritition the disk and mkfs.ocfs2 the partition. Everything seems OK.
    [root@node1 init.d]# ./o2cb status
    Module "configfs": Loaded
    Filesystem "configfs": Mounted
    Module "ocfs2_nodemanager": Loaded
    Module "ocfs2_dlm": Loaded
    Module "ocfs2_dlmfs": Loaded
    Filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": Mounted
    Checking cluster ocfs2: Online
    Checking heartbeat: Not active
    But here you can check if the partition is there:
    [root@node1 init.d]# fsck.ocfs2 /dev/hda12
    Checking OCFS2 filesystem in /dev/hda12:
    label: oracle
    uuid: 27 74 a6 70 32 ad 4f 77 bf 55 8e 3a 87 78 ea cb
    number of blocks: 612464
    bytes per block: 4096
    number of clusters: 76558
    bytes per cluster: 32768
    max slots: 2
    /dev/hda12 is clean. It will be checked after 20 additional mounts.
    However, mount -t ocfs2 /dev/hda12 just does not work.
    [root@node1 oracle]# mount -t ocfs2 /dev/hda12 /oradata/m10g
    mount.ocfs2: No such device while mounting /dev/hda12 on /oradata/m10g
    [root@node1 oracle]# mount -L oracle
    mount: no such partition found
    Looks like mount just can not see the ocfs2 partition somehow.
    I cannot find much info in metalink and anywhere else, does anyone here come across this issue before?
    Regards,
    Eric

    I have been having a similar problem.
    However, when I applied your fix I ended up with another problem:
    (20765,0):ocfs2_initialize_osb:1179 max_slots for this device: 4
    (20765,0):ocfs2_fill_local_node_info:851 I am node 0
    (20765,0):dlm_request_join:756 ERROR: status = -107
    (20765,0):dlm_try_to_join_domain:906 ERROR: status = -107
    (20765,0):dlm_join_domain:1151 ERROR: status = -107
    (20765,0):dlm_register_domain:1330 ERROR: status = -107
    (20765,0):ocfs2_dlm_init:1771 ERROR: status = -12
    (20765,0):ocfs2_mount_volume:912 ERROR: status = -12
    ocfs2: Unmounting device (253,7) on (node 0)
    Now the odd thing about this bit of log output (/var/log/messages)
    is the fact that this is only a 2 node cluster and only one node has
    currently mounted the file system in question. Now, I am running
    the multipath drivers with my qla2xxx drivers under SLES9-R2.
    However, at worst that should only double everything
    (2 nodes x 2 paths through the SAN).
    How can I get more low level information on what is consuming
    the node slots in ocfs2? How can I force it to "disconnect" nodes
    and recover/cleanup node slots?

  • Years of data gone, backup DMG won't mount "No mountable file systems"

    Could someone help me here, I have this problem.
    The reason for this was that I ran into some complications with my boot camp windows install and wanted to start over. After returning the boot camp FAT partition space to Mac OS X it froze while attempting to create a new boot camp partition. "Boot Camp Assistant" suggested I backup my "Macintosh HD" and re-partition my HD because "some files could not be moved." Ok so, I backed-up my "Macintosh HD" volume to a DMG using Disk Utility selecting the volume and clicking new image icon, it is compressed, it is Leopard. I then booted with Leopard install DVD and began the restore process. Everything was working smoothly until the progress bar stopped animating, waited awhile and forced restart. When I restarted my internal HD had only an "Applications" folder which ended its contents with a half copied iDVD.app preceded by 73 other apps successfully restored. Now worst of all my Backup DMG produces the "No mountable file systems" error. Help, oh please help!

    Ok, here is the output. It shows there is a problem with the resource fork XML, just like yours Shad Guy. If only their were some specs available I could try to fix it myself. An Apple engineer could most likely fix this in 20 min.
    Also, thanks for your help man, having people tell me to give up is the worst.

  • Windows File System Issue

    I have a system built using Oracle text that worked fine until we moved some content to a Windows file server. The old system used a Unix system with a samba server sharing out networked files. This system is still available and the content indexes are fine. The new system, which uses shared Windows drives, just won't generate any indexes. The Windows box has wide open security - everyone has full access. The file links in my database work - I can select them and cut and paste them into explorer to open them. The code I use to create the indexes is exactly the same for both the Unix server and the Windows server, but it just doesn't index the Windows content.
    Any thoughts?

    Try starting the local database service as the local administrator user, as the default internal windows account has no rights to access a network drive.
