Netmask Changes in Solaris 10

Hi Team,
We tried to change the netmask and broadcast address in solaris 10 by below steps
ifconfig ipge0 down
ifconfig ipge0 <ipaddress> netmask <subnet mask> broadcast <address
ifconfig ipge0 up
But interface is not up. The command (ifconfig ipge0 up) is hanged for long time without giving any error.
So, we changed the new netmask in the /etc/inet/netmasks and rebooted the server. The new changes got affect only after reboot.
Could you please confirm the Solaris 10 requres reboot for changes in netmask.
Regards,
R. Rajesh Kannan.

No, it doesn't need a reboot.
In fact, you don't even have to take the interface down....
I would edit /etc/netmasks so that the correct setting was in there for the next time I booted. Then:
'ifconfig <interface> netmask + broadcast +' (Yes, with the '+' symbols).
That should do it. No need to down or up.

Pls, its urgent... change IP,netmask and broadcast on solaris 8- make them permanent after reboot

Hi,
I want to change an IP and netmask and broadcast of a machine using solaris 8 but after I reboot the changes are lost. The IP is remembered but the netmask and broadcast are lost. In /etc/netmasks the last line has the new netmask that I established, all the lines before this line are comment.
I do:
ifconfig bge0 down
ifconfig bge0 new_IP netmask new_netmask broadcast new_broadcast
ifconfig bge0 up
It works for the moement, but after I reboot it does not work any more and I have to do it all again. What should I do to make the changes permanent?
Thank you for your help!
Serban

To make the netmask permanent and with the result the broadcast as well you need to make changes to the /etc/netmask file.
You say that u have done it but it seems that the entry is not right.
The way to make the entries is to have the proper network no followed by the netmask.Calculate the Network Number based on the IP and netmask and put in the right entries.
The entry shd be like
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
Which means that for all the IP addresses in the range 192.168.1 would have the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
And i suppose u have the right ip address in the /etc/hosts file.

Netmask is not set properly in Solaris 10

Hi,
I am not able to change my netmask for bge0 NIC. I've just run Oracle CRS installer and it changed my netmask. I didn't install CRS.

Solaris 10 x86 setting wrong netmask at startup

Hello
one of our servers when it reboots set wrong netmask in the network interfaces;
the network interfaces should have 255.255.255.240 as netmask but upon reboot they have 255.255.255.0.
the /etc/netmask entries as
subnet netmask
let's say that my ip of one of the interfaces is 192.168.10.170
in the netmask file i have
192.168.10.160 255.255.255.240
is there a problem that i set the subnet and not the network in the netmask file? can i create an /etc/subnetmask?
is there a tool with dtrace that can determine why i cannot have the correct netmask at boot time.
thank you in advance
Mario G.

Ach! I see that my first post had formatting problems. Never mind.
What I wanted you to try is:
ifconfig <interface> netmask + broadcast +rather thanifconfig <interface> netmask 255.255.255.240I think the plus characters were interpreted as formatting. Sorry for the confusing post.

Logical interface in solaris 10

Hi there,
I need to configure logical interface in a solaris 10 3/05 server. After reading the Solaris 10 IP services manual, I am not quite sure what to do. All the examples and explanation are about using the new subcommand addif of ifconfig. It was not clear in the documentation if the setting logical interfaces via addif will persist across boot.
Can one still configure logical interface in Solaris 10 in a more traditional way like in Solaris 8? In an Solaris 8 server I will do the following.
Let's assume I want to configure in a solaris 8 server a logical interface named hme0:1 with IP address 192.168.20.28 with netmask 255.255.255.0 for hostname host001
# cat /etc/hostname.hme0:1
host001
^D
# echo "192.168.20.28 host001" >> /etc/inet/hosts
# echo "192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/inet/netmasks
# reboot -- -r
Can one still do that in solaris 10 3/05 server?

You don't need to reboot (you can run ifconfig for this boot and let the files do the work next time) and the -r doesn't do anything with interfaces (expecially virtual interfaces) anyway.

Configure Internet in Solaris 10

I new in Solaris
The computer have the fallowing IP 192.168.1.101
Router 192.168.1.1
other in the lan 192.168.1.100 (Windows Xp with Internet throw the router)
The computer with Solaris ping the router and the other
The DNS server is 194.65.100.117
the 2 is 194.65.2.5
what I have to do to have internet?
Thank you

Hello,
direct config files edit can look like the following:
echo "192.168.1.1" > /etc/defaultrouter
echo "nameserver 194.65.100.117" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 194.65.2.5" >> /etc/resolv.conf
echo "192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/netmasks
then you have to decide the name of the computer (let it be 'abc') and the interface where you have the connection to internet - can be found using 'ifconfig -a' (let it be 'ce0')
echo "192.168.1.100 abc" >> /etc/hosts
echo "abc" > /etc/hostname.ce0

Hi
Thank you for replay
This is happened exactly when I zlogin for first time to complete installation.
The installation procedure flow flawless.I set terminal type 13 (dt terminal) and everything is OK, but when I try to setup hostname I�ve got this error.
I try this with 3 different zones on this machine with same result
I have old x86 machines with solaris 11/06 zones installed , everything works fine (1 year uptime)
This is not the first zone in my life :)

New to Solaris 9 - Needs some help, if some could answer my question plz !!

Hello!
During the installation when I set that the computer is not networked, everything (SMC) seems to work absolutely fine.
But when I set the option that the computer is networked, The SMC (Solaris management Console) doesn;t startup. it says again and again that the server couldn't be found. Although I tried to stop and again start the SMC server process, but it didn;t work.,
Please help me out !!!!

I'll give this a shot:
Does other network traffic work? Assuming that you are new to Solaris 9, and not just UNIX in general, you may want to make sure that your network settings are correct (ip addy, netmask, default route, and so on) SMC usually starts up a network service on port 898 (IIRC), and then starts up the client (the actual GUI) and connects to itself.

Solaris 10 Dev. Edition - Network config issue (NIC,DHCP,Can't ping router)

I am a developer getting started with Solaris 10 configuration. I recently installed Solaris 10 and have run into an issue with network connectivity.
I have done much research on this and I was able to get communiction to the internet established once, but the settings were lost on reboot.
Overview - The Solaris box is connected to a router which is acting as a DHCP server.
AMD 64 dual 2.6
nForce4+ integrated NIC
1) I am not able to obtain an address from the router. Nor do I get a respons back when I ping it. I get an IP etc if I boot into Windows so phyicial connectivity is fine.
2) Upon reboot the device nfo0 as shown using ifconfig -a has an IP of 0.0.0.0.
3) If I run ifconfig [hostname] my machine gets the ip from the hosts file, but I would like to obtain this from the router.
4) NOTE - the machine shows as active on my router, but the Solaris box cannot be reached from other computers on the networ, nor do I get a reply back when pinging the router from the Solaris box.
GOAL - reach and obtain a DHCP from the router and have the changes stick upon reboot.
/etc/hosts contents
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
192.168.1.55 solarisX /*<-- this is what I get when I do ifconfig nfo0 solarisX */
/etc/hosname.nfo0
netmask + 255.255.255.0
solarisX
/etc/defaultrouter
192.168.1.254
/et c/netmasks
192.168.0.0 255.255.2550
Specific Steps taken:
Using the driver nfo-2.4.5 locate at http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ I did the following.
% cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
% rm obj Makefile
% ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
% ln -s ${KARCH} obj
where ${KARCH} is the result of `isainfo -n`, and ${COMPILER} is
"gcc" or "suncc" which you want to use to make the driver.
4. Testing
Testing before installation is strongly recommended.
# cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
# ./adddrv.sh
# /usr/ccs/bin/make uninstall (for solaris7, don't remove the file )
# modload obj/nfo
# devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r )
# ifconfig nfoN plumb ( where N is an instance number, typcally 0 for first card)
# ifconfig -a ( you will see an entry for nfoN)
# ifconfig nfoN YOUR-HOST-NAME
# ifconfig nfoN ( ensure IP address is correct)
# ifconfig nfoN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
5. Installation
After you ensure that the nfo driver is fully functional, install it.
(1) copy the nfo driver into the kernel directory
# cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
If you do not test the nfo driver yet, execute the following commands:
# ./adddrv.sh
# devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r)
(2) Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:
/etc/hostname.nfoN
(3) Reboot the system.
# init 6

Thanks Alan. I worked on trying to get the NIC working again last night. I had it working once, although the settings did not perist. I can still get the device to load, but I can't communciate with the router (it's not physical because another OS can reach it.
I took your advice and tried the sys-unconfig. But I did not have much success.
I am wondering if plopping in a new PCI NIC would be the most efficient route to get the server up.
What kind of NIC do you utilize and have had success with?
I am looking at possibly a DLINK DFE-530 or NetGear FA-311. I don't need wireless at this point just a rock solid DEV box.
Thanks again for the previous info.

HOWTO: Create 2-node Solaris Cluster 4.1/Solaris 11.1(x64) using VirtualBox

I did this on VirtualBox 4.1 on Windows 7 and VirtualBox 4.2 on Linux.X64. Basic pre-requisites are : 40GB disk space, 8GB RAM, 64-bit guest capable VirtualBox.
Please read all the descriptive messages/prompts shown by 'scinstall' and 'clsetup' before answering.
0) Download from OTN
- Solaris 11.1 Live Media for x86(~966 MB)
- Complete Solaris 11.1 IPS Repository Image (total 7GB)
- Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1 IPS Repository image (~73MB)
1) Run VirtualBox Console, create VM1 : 3GB RAM, 30GB HDD
2) The new VM1 has 1 NIC, add 2 more NICs (total 3). Setting the NIC to any type should be okay, 'VirtualBox Host Only Adapter' worked fine for me.
3) Start VM1, point the "Select start-up disk" to the Solaris 11.1 Live Media ISO.
4) Select "Oracle Solaris 11.1" in the GRUB menu. Select Keyboard layout and Language.
VM1 will boot and the Solaris 11.1 Live Desktop screen will appear.
5) Click <Install Oracle Solaris> from the desktop, supply necessary inputs.
Default Disk Discovery (iSCSI not needed) and Disk Selection are fine.
Disable the "Support Registration" connection info
6) The alternate user created during the install has root privileges (sudo). Set appropriate VM1 name
7) When the VM has to be rebooted after the installation is complete, make sure the Solaris 11.1 Live ISO is ejected or else the VM will again boot from the Live CD.
8) Repeat steps 1-6, create VM2 and install Solaris.
9) FTP(secure) the Solaris 11.1 Repository IPS and Solaris Cluster 4.1 IPS onto both the VMs e.g under /home/user1/
10) We need to setup both the packages: Solaris 11.1 Repository and Solaris Cluster 4.1
11) All commands now to be run as root
12) By default the 'solaris' repository is of type online (pkg.oracle.com), that needs to be updated to the local ISO we downloaded :-
+$ sudo sh+
+# lofiadm -a /home/user1/sol-11_1-repo-full.iso+
+//output : /dev/lofi/N+
+# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/N /mnt+
+# pkg set-publisher -G '*' -M '*' -g /mnt/repo solaris+
13) Setup the ha-cluster package :-
+# lofiadm -a /home/user1/osc-4_1-ga-repo-full.iso+
+//output : /dev/lofi/N+
+# mkdir /mnt2+
+# mount -f hsfs /dev/lofi/N /mnt2+
+# pkg set-publisher -g file:///mnt2/repo ha-cluster+
14) Verify both packages are fine :-
+# pkg publisher+
PUBLISHER                   TYPE     STATUS P LOCATION
solaris                     origin   online F file:///mnt/repo/
ha-cluster                  origin   online F file:///mnt2/repo/
15) Install the complete SC4.1 package by installing 'ha-cluster-full'
+# pkg install ha-cluster-full+
14) Repeat steps 12-15 on VM2.
15) Now both VMs have the OS and SC4.1 installed.
16) By default the 3 NICs are in the "Automatic" profile and have DHCP configured. We need to activate the Fixed profile and put the 3 NICs into it. Only 1 interface, the public interface, needs to be
configured. The other 2 are for the cluster interconnect and will be automatically configured by scinstall. Execute the following commands :-
+# netadm enable -p ncp defaultfixed+
+//verify+
+# netadm list -p ncp defaultfixed+
+#Configure the public-interface+
+#Verify none of the interfaces are listed, add all the 3+
+# ipadm show-if+
+# run dladm show-phys or dladm show-link to check interface names : must be net0/net1/net2+
+# ipadm create-ip net0+
+# ipadm create-ip net1+
+# ipadm create-ip net2+
+# ipadm show-if+
+//select proper IP and configure the public interface. I have used 192.168.56.171 & 172+
+# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.56.171/24 net0/publicip+
+#IP plumbed, restart+
+# ipadm down-addr -t net0/publicip+
+# ipadm up-addr -t net0/publicip+
+//Verify publicip is fine by pinging the host+
+# ping 192.168.56.1+
+//Verify, net0 should be up, net1/net2 should be down+
+# ipadm+
17) Repeat step 16 on VM2
18) Verify both VMs can ping each other using the public IP. Add entries to each other's /etc/hosts
Now we are ready to run scinstall and create/configure the 2-node cluster
19)
+# cd /usr/cluster/bin+
+# ./scinstall+
select 1) Create a new cluster ...
select 1) Create a new cluster
select 2) Custom in "Typical or Custom Mode"
Enter cluster name : mycluster1 (e.g)
Add the 2 nodes : solvm1 & solvm2 and press <ctrl-d>
Accept default "No" for <Do you need to use DES authentication>"
Accept default "Yes" for <Should this cluster use at least two private networks>
Enter "No" for <Does this two-node cluster use switches>
Select "1)net1" for "Select the first cluster transport adapter"
If there is warning of unexpected traffic on "net"1, ignore it
Enter "net1" when it asks corresponding adapter on "solvm2"
Select "2)net2" for "Select the second cluster transport adapter"
Enter "net2" when it asks corresponding adapter on "solvm2"
Select "Yes" for "Is it okay to accept the default network address"
Select "Yes" for "Is it okay to accept the default network netmask"Now the IP addresses 172.16.0.0 will be plumbed in the 2 private interfaces
Select "yes" for "Do you want to turn off global fencing"
(These are SATA serial disks, so no fencing)
Enter "Yes" for "Do you want to disable automatic quorum device selection"
(we will add quorum disks later)
Enter "Yes" for "Proceed with cluster creation"
Select "No" for "Interrupt cluster creation for cluster check errors"
The second node will be configured and 2nd node rebooted
The first node will be configured and rebootedAfter both nodes have rebooted, verify the cluster has been created and both nodes joined.
On both nodes :-
+# cd /usr/cluster/bin+
+# ./clnode status+
+//should show both nodes Online.+
At this point there are no quorum disks, so 1 of the node's will be designated quorum vote. That node VM has to be up for the other node to come up and cluster to be formed.
To check the current quorum status, run :-
+# ./clquorum show+
+//one of the nodes will have 1 vote and other 0(zero).+
20)
Now the cluster is in 'Installation Mode' and we need to add a quorum disk.
Shutdown both the nodes as we will be adding shared disks to both of them
21)
Create 2 VirtualBox HDDs (VDI Files) on the host, 1 for quorum and 1 for shared filesystem. I have used a size of 1 GB for each :-
*$ vboxmanage createhd --filename /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk1.vdi --size 1024 --format VDI --variant Fixed*
*0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%*
*Disk image created. UUID: 899147b9-d21f-4495-ad55-f9cf1ae46cc3*
*$ vboxmanage createhd --filename /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk2.vdi --size 1024 --format VDI --variant Fixed*
*0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%*
*Disk image created. UUID: 899147b9-d22f-4495-ad55-f9cf15346caf*
22)
Attach these disks to both the VMs as shared type
*$ vboxmanage storageattach solvm1 --storagectl "SATA" --port 1 --device 0 --type hdd --medium /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk1.vdi --mtype shareable*
*$ vboxmanage storageattach solvm1 --storagectl "SATA" --port 2 --device 0 --type hdd --medium /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk2.vdi --mtype shareable*
*$ vboxmanage storageattach solvm2 --storagectl "SATA" --port 1 --device 0 --type hdd --medium /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk1.vdi --mtype shareable*
*$ vboxmanage storageattach solvm2 --storagectl "SATA" --port 2 --device 0 --type hdd --medium /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk2.vdi --mtype shareable*
The disks are attached to SATA ports 1 & 2 of each VM. On my VirtualBox on Linux, the controller type is "SATA", whereas on Windows it is "SATA Controller".
The "--mtype shareable' parameter is important
23)
Mark both disks as shared :-
*$ vboxmanage modifyhd /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk1.vdi --type shareable*
*$ vboxmanage modifyhd /scratch/myimages/sc41cluster/sdisk2.vdi --type shareable*
24) Start both VMs. We need to format the 2 shared disks
25) From VM1, run format. In my case, the 2 new shared disks show up as 'c7t1d0' and 'c7t2d0'.
+# format+
select disk 1 (c7t1d0)
[disk formated]
FORMAT MENU
fdisk
Type 'y' to accept default partition
partition
0
<enter>
<enter>
1
995mb
print
label
<yes>
quit
quit26) Repeat step 25) for the 2nd disk (c7t2d0)
27) Make sure the shared disks can be used for quorum :-
On VM1
+# ./cldevice refresh+
+# ./cldevice show+
On VM2
+# ./cldevice refresh+
+# ./cldevice show+
The shared disks should have the same DID (d2,d3,d4 etc). Note down the DID that you are going to use for quorum (e.g d2)
By default, global fencing is enabled for these disks. We need to turn it off for all disks as these are SATA disks :-
+# cldevice set -p default_fencing=nofencing-noscrub d1+
+# cldevice set -p default_fencing=nofencing-noscrub d2+
+# cldevice set -p default_fencing=nofencing-noscrub d3+
+# cldevice set -p default_fencing=nofencing-noscrub d4+
28) It is better to do one more reboot of both VMs, otherwise I got a error when adding the quorum disk
29) Run clsetup to add quorum disk and to complete cluster configuration :-
+# ./clsetup+
=== Initial Cluster Setup ===
Enter 'Yes' for "Do you want to continue"
Enter 'Yes' for "Do you want add any quorum devices"
Select '1) Directly Attached Shared Disk' for the type of device
Enter 'Yes' for "Is it okay to continue"
Enter 'd2' (or 'd3') for 'Which global device do you want to use'
Enter 'Yes' for "Is it okay to proceed with the update"
The command 'clquorum add d2' is run
Enter 'No' for "Do you want to add another quorum device"
Enter 'Yes' for "Is it okay to reset "installmode"?"Cluster initialization is complete.!!!
30) Run 'clquorum status' to confirm both nodes and the quorum disk have 1 vote each
31) Run other cluster commands to explore!
I will cover Data services and shared file system in another post. Basically the other shared disk
can be used to create a UFS filesystem and mount it on all nodes.

Linux install server and solaris 10

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers

ERROR: bpgetfile unable to access network
/sbin/install-discovery: information: not foundHmm. That looks like the image file is corrupt. Can you pull the image from media again? Can you see if there's a /sbin/install-discovery file in the image (usually under Tools/Boot/root). I recall there used to be a problem with that file.

Those are for automated installations.

You do have the option of running VMware on linux, and putting a Solaris 10 image on it, then using that VM as your boot server. But the problem you're displaying doesn't appear to be related to the linux server.

Clustering Solaris 10 (SPARC) with QFS 4.3

I have searched to no avail for a solution to my error. The error is bolded and Italics in the information below. I would appreciate any assists!!
System
- Dual Sun-Fire-280R with external dual ported SCSI-3 disk arrays.
- Solaris 10 Update 1 with the latest patch set (as of 5/2/06)
- Clustering from Java Enterpriset System 2005Q4 - SPARC
- StorEdge_QFS_4.3
The root/boot disk is not mirrored - don't want to introduce another level
of complication at this point.
I followed an example in one of the docs for "HA-NFS on Volumes Controlled by Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager" from setting up an HA QFS file system".
The following is additional information:#

If there is anything else that might help, please let me know. I am currently considering tearing the cluseter down and rebuilding it to test with a UFS filesystem to see if the problem might be with QFS.,

Unattended Solaris 10 installation with jumpstart server issue

Hello,
I have setup a jumpstart server and am finding it difficult to get a fully unattended solaris 10 sparc 10/09 install on a t1000 client. The console connection to the client goes into interactive mode at the point in system identification when the installer asks if the system is networked or non-networked, and runs a setup of default time zone and date/time. Using esc-2 to advance through the interactive menu it asks if ithe system is on a subnet, for the netmask (which is there as default), asks if the current time is correct, then asks me to confirm that my selections are correct. When I confirm it goes on it's merry way to finish the installation unattended.
My guess is it does not like one of the values in the sysidcfg file being used, but can't seem to see where the problem is. I don't see anything in the table of sysidcfg keywords from the online docs that specify networked or not, and I am using the network_interface keyword to define hostname, ip, default router, netmask and ipv6, and thought that should take care of the networking portion of system identification, also have timezone and time server set.
Could it be that I am configuring an ethernet port that is not connected (bge0)? This computer will be deployed on a DMZ type network, and the jumpstart server is located on a different network our internal private network. The jumpstart installation via the server is done by using a temporary ethernet connection on a second interface of the client. One other note the defined time server is on the dmz so the installation program won't see it.
Any suggestions on what might be causing the interactive installer to kick in?
Here is the sysidcfg used for the client:

security_policy=NONE
system_locale=en_US
install_locale=en_US

Thanks,

update. Fixed the problem with date/time by using abrante's suggestion of setting the time server to localhost. Don't get prompted for date/time information in the interactive installer any more.
If I setup the sysidcfg file to configure the ethernet port being used to communicate with the jumpstart server (bge1), using an ip and netmask that is on the jumpstart server network, the installation goes through fully un-attended.
Is there any way to get a second interface (in this case bge0) configured with ip/netmask values that are not part of the jumpstart server's network, using a non interactive jumpstart installation? Using these values in sysidcfg, the only things prompted for during the installation are, Is the system on a subnet, and what is the netmask. Anyone know what the sysidcfg part of the installation does to check the validity of a netmask value given in the sysidcfg file on the jumpstart server?
If need be, I guess the interface could be configured in the finish script.

Solaris 10/6/06 Routing

Hello,
I am trying to set up my Solaris server as a router and am having trouble. I am brand new to solaris but have had some experience with windoze.
Basically my server has two nics
sfe0 and sfe1
sfe0 is connected through a switch to my private network 192.168.1.0 and has an address of 192.168.1.107
sfe1 is connected to my DSL modem with network address 192.168.2.0 and an IP address of 192.168.2.3
My DSL modem has a private address of 192.168.2.1 and a public address assigned by DHCP from my service provider.
The problem is when I use my laptop to try connectivity to my solaris server I am able to ping both nic's but am unable to ping my DSL modem.
Details of configurations.
