Netra 440 - pci@1e failure msg at OpenBoot Diagnostics

Hi,
We have here some problems at a new netra 440. In the OpenBoot Diagnostics we receive the msg:
WARNING: Device /pci@1e,600000/ide@d being marked with 'status' == fail
SC Alert: /pci@1e,600000/ide@d fail
When the OpenBoot Diagnostics are finished solaris starts but only with a few processes.
the sun docs suggests a ide controller failure. But no actions are given. What can I do. Can this be fixed are should I arrange a replacement?
The complete boot log:

The only IDE device in that system is your optical drive.
I noticed that the OBP version is a tiny bit down-rev.
Did this system come from a Reseller ?
Or, perhaps, has it been sitting idle at your organization for a few months and just now been unpacked ?
If sold by Sun, I'd have expected to see the latest 4.17.x firmware.
Who installed the optical drive, the vendor or your staff ?
There may just be an incomplete installation of the drive to its IDE backplane.
Yes, open a service case with Sun's techsupport.
They'll get it sorted out properly.

Netra 440 on Solaris 8?

Hello there...
We have our applications running on Netra 1400/1405 system on Solaris 8.
I have two questions in this regard
1) Now we plan to migrate to a better / robust system like Netra 440. But Netra 440 comes with Solaris 9 or 10 (not sure). So wondering whether we can customize Netra 440 with Solaris 8 (by asking SUN while ordering). Is it possible? If it is higher than version 8, development effort is required and we don't have that much time to do so now.
2) What is the major difference between Solaris 8, 9, 10? Directory structures changed? Libraries changed?
For 440, please refer

Please advice.
Thanks

Most code that runs on Solaris 8 should be able to run on Solaris 9 and 10 unmodified.
You can ask the System Handbook for OS support information:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/validateUser.do?target=Systems/Netra_440_R/Netra_440_R
That shows later versions of Solaris 8 are supported.
2) What is the major difference between Solaris 8, 9, 10? Directory structures changed? Libraries changed?UFS is compatible between all versions (but Solaris 10 adds support for ZFS). Libraries are always changed, but it depends on what you're doing as to whether or not that matters.
See also the "What's new in ..." sections of the docs for Solaris 9 and Solaris 10.

For 440, please refer

That's the hardware specs page (which doesn't talk about required operating systems). The OS information is on the page before you clicked here.

Who had this failure msg on Windows 2000 using LV 8.5: CsrGetProcessId wasn't found in ntdll.dll?

Hi wire workers
I have compiled my application for Windows 2000 or later.
I get the failure msg when I start the application on my Windows 2000 system.
The failure msg doesn't come on the XP System.
Any ideas?
With kind regards

Hi Martin,
I tested this issue here and had no problems running my application on Windows 2000.
My application displays random numbers on a graph. Do you use any fuction that uses some Windows functionality e.g. .Net and system assemblies?
I'm using Win 2000 with SP 4
Kind regards

Black screen on MacPro1,1: PCI bus failure?

I have a MacPro1,1 (the original 2006 model) running OS X 10.7.5. This machine has functioned reliably for 8 years. But last night the display went black (NEC PA-271W, driven by an Apple ATI Radeon 5770). My trouble-shooting tests so far:
Restart Mac Pro. Restart in Safe Boot mode. Restart in Single-User mode. Restart from a clone backup. Waited for hardware to cool down and tried again. No love. Screen never lights up.
Attached display to a MacBook Pro, using same cable and DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. Monitor works correctly.
I can run the Mac Pro via screen sharing from my MBP. So the system and hard disk seem to be OK.
I accessed the Mac Pro via screen sharing and read its System Report
About This Mac > More Info > System Report
What I saw was disturbing:
Graphics/Displays: No information found.
PCI Cards: This computer doesn't contain any PCI cards.
I tried re-seating the ATI Radion 5770, and tried inserting another card that I had on hand (Nvidia GeForce 8800GT) in a different slot. The info in System Report remained the same.
Does this look like a hardware failure? Power supply gone south? Is there any type of hardware diagnostic software that I can run on a headless Mac? I don't want to spend any significant money on repairing this old beast, since I was planning to replace it this year.

The Mac Pro lives on. It was the ATI Radeon 5700 video card that died. I pulled it out of the PCI slot, and then the Mac was able to see the other video card. So it looks like the Radeon had an internal failure (short circuit?) which was causing an abnormal current drain from the mother board. The Mac shut down the PCI bus to protect itself.

Skype Causing PCI Compliance Failure

Hi,
As part of my business, I have to undergo PCI Data compliance scans every 3 months. Everything has been okay, but I recently failed a scan, and received this message:
Description: Skype for Windows < 5.8.0.154 Unspecified Vulnerability (uncredentialed check) Synopsis: The remote Skype install has an unspecified vulnerability. Impact: According to its timestamp, the version of Skype installed on the remote Windows host reportedly has an as-yet unspecified vulnerability.
The suggested "Resolution" is to 'Upgrade to Skype for Windows 5.8.0.154 or later.'
I am running Wndows on VMWare Fusion on my Mac. Initially, I deleted Skype altogether from Windows and updated Skype on my MAC OS X, and still received the same message So I reinstalled the latest version of Skype for Windows, and STILL received a fail on the scan.
Is there some way to fix this? It looks like resolving this issue will fix up all the problems I've been having. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there ... your post was a long time ago, but wondered if you managed to solve the problem of Skype clients causing PCI compliance to fail? We are going through the same issues at the moment, all Skype clients updated, yet we are still failing every test. If you managed to find a fix, would be great to know! Cheers.

How to determine SWAP size ??? (Netra 440/ Solaris 10)

At first I would have said that the total SWAP size is 6,6GB, but now I am in doubt since I see several SWAP line on the df OUTPUT.
Please help:
1. What is the total SWAP size for the machine?
2. Why is there 4 lines mentionning SWAP on the df OUTPUT?
3. With 8GB of RAM on this machine do I need to increase the SWAP?
4. If yes how to increase the SWAP?
Thanks in advance !

Swap can be a confusing thing. It's an overloaded term that people often use to mean somewhat different things.
1. Determine the swap allocated for the system with swap -l. The number of blocks minus the swaplo value will give you the true count. Blocks are 512 bytes, so do the math to get a GB value.
2. df output reflects file systems that are currently in use. In Solaris 10 there are a few virtual file systems that are backed by swap space itself. You'll notice all these swap fs components have the same size because they use the swap as a common pool.
3. Sizing swap shouldn't be based strictly on the amount of physical memory available. While there are guidelines for doing precisely that, those guidelines are given for the general case (i.e., no information on the apps that will be running). Monitoring demand is key. swap -s and vmstat will both give you a good general view of the demand for swap.
But, if you're a guidelines sort of person:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5093/fsswap-31050?a=view
4. The easiest way to increase swap is to make files that can be added to the overall swap space. I generally prefer this approach from the ground up, because it means I never have to dedicate disk space to a swap region. There are different steps for doing it with UFS and ZFS. Here's the ufs way:
a) Pick a UFS file system with space on a disk that isn't hot. Make a swap file and add it to the swap space like so:
- # mkfile 1024m /filesys2/swapfile
- # swap -a /filesys2/swapfile
Then check the outcome with swap -l and swap -s.
In many cases I will add a swap file to a customer's system and remove the partition-based swap (swap -d) that they have. There is no appreciable difference in performance and the flexibility of moving swap can come in handy when a system has to accept a different workload with a minimum of downtime.

Keep getting failure msg saying can't convert file containing XFA forms. help

I just purchased the adobe convert program to convert this one file I need now and it won't work! it says it can't convert XFA forms. Help! How do I do this?

You can't. What it says is true, and it doesn't really matter what an XFA form is except that you have one.
But let's go back a step. Why do you need to convert? What is the problem you want to solve? XFA forms are designed to be filled in, printed, and have their fields exported - that's all, and all most people ever need too. Converting forms to other formats almost never solves the problem people think they have.

Need an Explanation for an Failure ID from Hardware Diagnostics-8440p

Hello,
i have an hp 8440p and got the Problem that the Primary Battery is suddenly not charging. Worked perfectly the other day.
I tried a suggested solution in this forum where the acpi control method battery in the hardware device manager has to be uninstalled. That did not work.
I started the HP Battery Check under Windows and i got no errors.
When i used the HP Hardware Diagnostics, i've got the following informations:
Failure-ID:6br0GJ-50c78p-x87r5g-c0f003
As my notebook is not covered under warranty(i think), i have no way to contact hp Support.
Which would be perfect, would be if anybody could tell me what has happened to the battery, if i have to replace it and how to avoid such errors.
The current Current of the Battery is:0mA
And just out of curiosity: The HP Battery Check shows under Cycles : 243/300. Does this mean it only had around 60 charging cycles left? <- This would really ease the pain of buying a new battery.
Thanks for your time and your answers.

Hi,
Firstly the good news is battery can "live" much more than that, it still can be in good condition at 600 cycles. And the bad news is that 24 character failed-id tells you the HDD on your machine is failing. Please backup file and data, ready for a HDD replacement.

A failure occured while calling Diagnostics Setup web service

Hi Guys.
When performing the Automatic Activities of the Solution Manager 7.1 Basic Configuration, on one step you can execute the Diagnostics Configuration.
When clicking on the details it shows the following message.
SOAP:1.007 SRT: Unsupported xstream found: ("HTTP Code 401 : Unauthorized")
Error when processing Web service call
I tried running the configuration a user having SAP_ALL, also j2ee_admin, so no clue where is the authorization fault.
Any ideas what is causing this Authorization Error?
I also tried to access SMD manually on saphost:8000/SMD but it says Root Cause Analysis Setup has been moved and Call transaction SOLMAN_SETUP from the SAP GUI to configure SAP Solution Manager.
Is there any url to access to SMD directlty without going thru SOLMAN_SETUP since i dont see where is the url.
Thanks!

Please make sure that your solman box meet the software prerequisit as per this note below
1483508 : Solution Manager 7.1: Root Cause Analysis pre-requisites
This will solve that ptoblem .

Netra t1 105: Solaris 8 & 9 install failures

Hi Everyone,
I have two (2) Sun Netra T1 105 machines, each with a single 360MHz Ultra SPARC IIi and 256MB RAM. Both have 18.2GB drives that have been wiped clean.
I am connecting using Winblows 2000 and Hyperterminal, serial port B, 9600,8,n,1.
I want to install a fresh copy of Solaris 9 on these systems, but I am having absolutely no luck. I boot from the Solaris 9 install CD and the systems just hang. I've also tried to do network installs, and they hang as well.
I thought it might be my Solaris 9 install media, so I tried to install Solaris 8 using several different releases - 4/01, 10/01 & 2/02. Each time, I get the same result - the boxes just hang.
I make it this far (serial, MAC, and hostid x'ed out to keep our security folks happy):

This could be part of the problem. How exactly did you wipe the disks in the other machine, and what type of machine was it?I installed the disks into a Sun Netra T1125, partioned (using format) and newfs'd them to create basic file systems.
How about a "boot cdrom -s"? If it boots this way, does "format" see the disks ok?Tried this, same result. The systems don't make it past the licensing terms message.
As for the mini tests - I ran them against every device, and everything seems OK. The floppy test threw an error because I didn't have a floppy drive installed.
I have a 4 port QFE card installed in the machine - all of the loopback tests passed, but the transceiver tests failed. None of the ports are connected (no cables). The two built in Ethernet ports also passed loopback, and 1 passed the transceiver test (the other failed) - the transceiver that passed has a network cable installed.

Could I be experiencing problems because of the QFE card?? Doesn't seem logical, but.... perhaps I will yank it out and try again....

Is installing PCI Ultrascsi in a Netra T1 105 plug and play?

The very small manual I have that came with the Sun PCI Ultrascsi host adapter implies that I can install the card in my Netra T1 and run probe-scsi-all to see the card and any devices installed but I am finding that is not the case. Am I missing an openboot config step or do I have a defective card?
The scsi devices cabled to the card work fine on the built in scsi bus.

Attempting to install Solaris 10 on Netra t1 via external DVD-Rom

Hello Experts,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my Netra t1 via external DVD. I connected the DVD-ROM to the scsi port on the back. System recognized the DVD but does not allow me to boot from it. I have done many things without any success. Following are the details:
System info:
Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 440MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.10.25 ME, 1024 MB memory installed,
Ran the scsi test and it doesn't report any issues:
ok test scsi
Probe-scsi-all shows the drive:
ok probe-scsi-all

devalias also shows as cdrom1:
ok devalias

I created devalias manually also with no help. Following is what I get when I try to boot from it:
ok boot cdrom1

I verified the DVD and it works just fine. I install the OS with the same DVD on Netra-440 system without any issues.
Please tell me what am I missing here or doing wrong. Please help.

Sun-worshiper,
Thank you so much for pointing that out. I was loosing it.
Just in case someone else runs into this type of issue:
When you run probe-scsi-all please pay attention to the target. In order to boot from the DVD, I executed the following commands from the ok prompt:
ok nvalias dvd /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2/disk@4,0:f
ok boot dvd

Solaris 9 Jumpstart Failure

Greetings.
I am in the process of changing a system over to Solaris 9 (9/04) from Solaris 8 (we cannot move to Solaris 10 due to ClearCase incompatiblities).
We use flash archives in our jumpstart process. The master system is created using a very Spartin profile (SUNWCreq with a number of other required packages). There are also a number of additional tweaks made to the master system to stop unrequired services, deamons, etc. The only additional patches installed are the Java cluster patches.
I have been able to successfully jumpstart the jumpstart server host from CD. However any attempts to jumpstart other clients using the jumpstart server have failed. I suspect that it is related to the inability to copy the sysidcfg file during the jumpstart process.
The address for the jumpstart server is 10.1.1.1; the hostname is n1; the MAC address is 0:3:ba:35:80:88
The address for the jumpstart client is 10.1.1.34; the hostname is n34; the MAC address is 0:3:ba:14:c6.
On the jumpstart server some of the relevant files are included below.
/etc/bootparams:

The IP address conflict is with the jumpstart server. The address for the jumpstart server is 10.1.1.1. The warning message is generated for a number of minutes after it starts. I figure that it is caused by the inability to copy the sysidcfg file.
This same system can be installed successfully using a Solaris 8 jumpstart configuration.
Note that the client system is currently installed with Solaris 8.
I did use the command "boot net -v - install" from the OK prompt, but no additional information was provided relating to when the sysidcfg file could not be copied.
If anyone has any ideas about what could be causing this problem or has any information about additional debugging which could be used to figure out this issue, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Jason.

Ideas.. Hmm, none which seems that correct, but you could try some things.
If it gets the wrong IP that could explain why it fails to copy the sysidcfg file.
First you could try and do a snoop on the ethernet address;
snoop ether 0:3:ba:14:c6:cd
(you could also try the -v flag to increase the verbosity).
The things you should look for are arp/rarp requests, the jumpstart client will use arp/rarp to determine its IP address, snoop will show you which server that responds, and what address it gets, futher more its a good idea to verify that the response to the bootparams requests comes from the correct server.
Of course there might be other oddnesses as well.
Was the data you provided extracts? If it was you should check the /etc/ethers and /etc/bootparams for duplicates entries, so there are no other occourances of the clients ehternet address in /etc/ethers, and no bogus entries starting with * or the same hostname in /etc/bootparams.
If you added the client manually you could always try and use the Tools/rm_install_client and Tools/add_install_client scripts to add it again, these script sometimes detect problems with the configuration.
Lastly you didn't show us your /etc/nsswitch.conf file, but i assume that it has "files" first for the ethers, hosts and bootparams entries?
Good luck
