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.

New to Solaris administration - Need some help with some issues

Hello all,
I am a new to Solaris administration and need some assistance with a few things. I was going to make separate posts but decided it would be easy to keep track of in one. I really do not know much about the OS but I do have a little Linux background so that might help me out. I am going to number my problems to keep them sorted, so here we go.
The machine:
Sunfire V880
4x 73GB HDs
PCI dual fiber channel host adapter
Attached RAID array:
Sun StorEdge T3 Array with 9x 73GB HDs
Sun DDS4 Tape Drive in a Unipack
OS: Solaris 5.10
Updates: Updated everything except 2 patches (Updating is a real pain isn't it? At least it seems that way to me.)
1. So I might as well start with the update issues! These 2 updates will not install:
-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
-Patch for mediaLib in solaris, (121620-03)
Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to save files. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 4.
No idea why the PostgreSQL update is not working, but the medialib patch seems to not have enough hard drive space.
2. Where are all the drives? I don't know how to find the RAID box or the other 3 internal hard drives. When I installed the OS, I think I installed it on only one hard drive and that might be part of the reason why the medialibe update above says that I don't have enough space.
3. I probably need more space for the OS and updates, is there a way to "add" space onto the hard drive that currently is running the OS?
3. Once I see the other hard drives I wish to combine them to make a RAID 0 and RAID 5 array, how do I go about doing that?
4. How can I find/see the tape drive?
5. Does my swap space really need to be 64GB? I know the book I have read suggests it, but I only made it 5GB because it didn't seem to make sense to make it 64GB.
Thank you in advance for the help. I know these are a lot of questions to ask but please go easy on me :)

-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
Exit code 0 means there were no errors. When you run showrev -p 137004-02, does your system show that the patch is installed? You can check the log for a particular patch add attempt in /var/sadm/patch/+patch_num_rev+1- A bunch of stuff shows up, here is a portion (I am not entirely sure what it means, there must be a least a page of stuff like this):

When you run format command, how many drives are listed? Identify your root drive (compare with output of df command you ran earlier) Please post here.2. Output of df-hk, looks like I ran out of room. Should I just go ahead and reinstall the OS?

5. I guess 5GB will be ok for what we do.

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

New in srm, i need some help

Hy everyone, i'm new in srm, i need to learn how to create a new user in the system, i can copy an user, but if the user is external i cannot write in the table t77s0.
Does someone has a tutorial?
Thanks a lot, Julieta

Hi Julieta,
In table t77s0, you can set indicators for HR replication according to note 550055.
After this, for users which were replicated from HR system, you should not modify it in SRM system, but only HR side and synchronize the changes.
Regards,
Ivy

Still Have v. 10.4.11 but am configuring a new MBP and I need some advice..

hey-
I am replacing my 3 year-old MBP which never made it to the Leopard stage, because I was chicken. This one is going to be cleaned up and given to a family next door from a real poor area of Mexico and until they saw this had never seen a notebook. So I am excited about this.
anyway, I am configuring a new MBP together and I have a few questions that are probably pretty basic, but still questions. I should have thought of this before, but is getting a new MBP with Snow Leopard installed on the machine (and I was old by the support guy who helped me with the configuration since it will be used for a graduate school of architecture, planing, and preservation program too.
any feeling on jumping from 10.4.11 (which I guess is Tiger OS X) to Snow Leopard and totally bypassing Leopard? It sounds like Snow Leopard is pretty much a major "update" to Leopard, but that is probably wrong. (Just a side questions, what does the Operating System OS X mean and do all of the operating system have OS X or did it start at OS 1 and will keep going up?)
Is there a time when a person who wants to try and focus on school or other important things can pretty much be sure that a new OS has had sufficient time for the major bugs to be worked out and most likely can feel safer about making the purchase than if they had not waited and did not really care-thinking that Apple would get them fixed and the updates would fix the problems? I do not tend to think this way, but in this situation I am going out a bit from my usual "way" and living or should I saying hoping that this has happened and is true? Does that make sense? So, any feeling if SL has been out long enough now that Apple has had a chance to make sure it is doing well and has pretty much been integrated into the hardware and properly functioning of the notebook as a "single unit?"
thanks in advance for any feedback and I apologize if the wording was incorrect or I did not explain myself clear enough.

You should not find it hard to jump from using Tiger (Mac OS 10.4) directly to using Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6). Some things are a little different, including a few changes to system preferences & how the Finder handles changing views from one folder to the next, but it is fundamentally the same from a user interface standpoint. In fact, there are very few interface differences you would notice between using Leopard (Mac OS 10.5) & Snow Leopard.
What you will most likely notice the most when going from a 3 year old MBP to a new one is that its response is substantially quicker: startup is quicker, apps open faster, Finder tasks complete in less time, etc. This is due both to the more powerful CPU & other components in the new machine & to the new OS, which is more efficient than previous ones.
"Mac OS" is the generic name for Apple's proprietary operating system that runs Macintosh computers. There were versions 1 through 9 of this operating system, starting with the one developed by Apple for the first Mac that appeared in 1984, but the first version to get the "Mac OS" designator was Mac OS 8, released in 1997. It was followed by Mac OS 9, released in 1999. All of these versions can be considered decedents of the first one, with strong family resemblances both in their internal structures & graphic user interfaces. Mac OS X is much different internally, incorporating many components of the venerable UNIX operating system first developed in 1969 at AT&T's Bell lab, plus a graphic user interface update (named "Aqua") more suited to its greatly improved capabilities. It is not a "pure" UNIX variant but instead a synthesis of UNIX & Apple's old & current technologies.
Each major revision of Mac OS X has had a cat name & a "point number" like Cheetah for 10.0 or Tiger for 10.4. Each revision has brought new features to the OS as well as under-the-hood improvements. Unfortunately, these improvements come at a cost in terms of legacy support. Some applications require revisions to work with each new major version, as do some of the drivers for external hardware. Generally speaking, fairly current apps & hardware drivers have gotten or will get revised for Snow Leopard if needed, but there are no guarantees that all ever will.
There are also bugs in every major OS release from every OS maker. Generally, these are obscure, affect few users significantly, & are eliminated in updates released after the first major version, but even the updates can introduce new bugs. Snow Leopard appears to be more bug free than any prior Mac OS major release, but the possibility exists that some bug will affect you in some critical way.
That said, the chances of this are low, & you should not read too much into reports here of problems unless they are widespread & describe very closely the same problem. Keep in mind that there are already several million copies of Snow Leopard in use; any really widespread problems would result in tens of thousands of complaints & probably make the evening news as well.

What does a new non-DE user need? | Help for a Wiki page

Hey Archers,
I'm using Arch with the Compiz Standalone Window Manager and I need some help for a project.
It turns out (who knew) that computers need a lot more to run smoothly than just a desktop and applications. You need network managers, gtk themes and much much more. Now, Desktop Environments such as GNOME and KDE provide a lot of these programs built-in, good for them, but I'm looking to build my system as dependency-free as I can and the big DE's don't really provide that. Especially GNOME just ropes me in whenever I want to use the tiniest piece of it (darn you gnome-keyring).
So I come to you fora, with a quest for information. I want to compile an overview of essential and useful applications with minimal dependencies that allow a CompizIndy user to build his system freely. And if I get enough information, I want to turn it into its own page for the Wiki so it becomes easier to get started with a birds-eye view of what you need to flesh out your system (not exclusively for CompizIndy btw). So please help me!
What applications/daemons/tools should a new system install? I'm not asking which ones are the best or worst or your favorites, just which kinds do you need --that aren't covered in the install guide--?
For example it's advisable to get:
Panel/dock
desktop manager
network manager
compositing manager
a tool for managing removable devices (ntfs-3g etc)
a packer/unpacker
a screensaver
power management
alt-F2 runcommand
custom keybindings
a user switch/logout manager
a volume manager
etc.
So what do you recommend? What do you need to get up and going?
Hoping to hear from you guys and girls,
Matthias
PS: if I'm doubling up on anything, please let me know and save me effort and embarassment ^_^
Last edited by Matsjo (2011-01-28 20:37:26)

There are many threads on this, although individual ones asking for "the best app to do XXX". You could try searching those. Also Search for the LnF Awards threads. you might find a few ideas there. We also have wiki pages for light-weight applications which might be useful
Panel/dock none
desktop manager none
network manager netcfg
compositing manager none or xcompmgr (for basic compositing)
a tool for managing removable devices (ntfs-3g etc) udiskie or udev rules or devmon
a packer/unpacker coreutils eg - tar, bzip etc with an alias called "ex" in .aliases
a screensaver none
power management ???
alt-F2 runcommand gmrun
custom keybindings xbindkeys
a user switch/logout manager none
a volume manager see udiskie....
BTW, if this is for you, then simply install Arch and use a non DE based WM --- eventually you will figure out what you are missing

I am new to J2EE. Need your help

Hi, everyone,
I am a new guy to J2EE.
I have done some readings for J2EE by myself.
But as its structure is so complex such that I am getting more and more confuse about it, feel like I am walking in the dark and never find a way out.
Could anyone please tell me what book or reading resources I should read to learn J2EE? I am looking for a book which can give me a glance and clear introduction to J2EE and hence I can find which direction I should follow on. If the book has a lot of explanations with graphs, patterns, diagrams will be better.
I appreciate any suggestions from you.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I share the same sentiment. I too am currently in the process of learning and understanding J2EE. I've read books and tutorials about it and like all other newbies, have that feeling of vagueness and not really grasping the concept yet.
But later on I realized that the best way for me to know J2EE is to see the big picture first. It's like if you're in a new place, the best thing to do is to look at its map so you can see the whole picture, rather than working on one street after the next. Then after you've seen the whole picture, you can set divisions or areas to work on. Later on you'll understand how they relate to each other.
With J2EE, I tried following the chapters of books starting from Servlets, JSP, to JSF... just getting more tired and wondering how long will it take for me to learn J2EE. I know patience is a virtue but there is also the concept of working smart vs. working hard. So I tried to get some overviews of J2EE first. Understanding that it is all about 3-tier architecture - Client, Server, Database. That's it. Each of those subjects you read from those books belong to one of them, client, server, database. So you can categorize the subjects and plan out what to learn first. And later on you'll be able to make your first simple project run and understand more and more concepts. You'll understand it's strengths and why it's a good technology.
I know I'm not an expert to be in the authority to teach about j2ee but I just wanna share things from a beginner's eye. Hope this helps.

New to sun/unix need some help getting my solaris express developers workin

well it installed, detected my dvd but during the install process I was not asked any networking questions. I figured perhaps it meant I had to configure that after the fact but alas it says the network admin can't configure the network because the network auto-magic is configured. whatever that means...well I guess it means my ethernet was not found? also a right click screen resolution only gives my 50hz refresh rate and 640x480 so I am guessing that means my video card is not detected either? I have an asus 800se motherboard with built in graphics and ethernet so I guess I will need to get 2 pci cards?
well if so I started to look at the very large hardware list and my head started spinning. so my question is...can anyone here suggest both an older video and ethernet card that I might say be able to find on ebay? because I really don't need anything fancy I am must out to learn sun...old but good and reliable???
thank you.

HELP! I'm new at this and need some help getting started

I am currently working on our website and was wondering how do I make a new page?
for example.
I want people to click on a link on the homepage to say a stockist list and see another page open with that information on.
Also I need to know how to make the homepage have white strips on the left and right (for an example of what I mean please visit www.internationalrobes.com)
I look forward to your replies!
Carly

Well, these are more web design related questions, but I will help as much as I can in the context.
Going about adding a page:
1) Navigate to Admin > Layout > Static pages
2) Add a new static page here and enter your content
3) Once it is saved, you should see an eyeglasses icon next to the page and you can copy that url and use it in a link.
4) For example
<a href="common/pagedetail.aspx?PageCode=test">My link here</a>
As far as the white stripes, I think you mean centering a page?
1) Edit the main master page under your theme
2) Center the content using css, more info here: [http://www.thesitewizard.com/css/center-div-block.shtml]
I think you would also benefit from the WebEx i created on implementing a layout into Webtools available here: [http://www.businessoneecommerce.com/developerdownloads/Implementing_a_Webtools_Theme.zip]

New to V20z. Need some help....

I received over 60 V20z in and need to test each one. As is they are racked and connected to a Raritan User Station and Fujitsu rackmount monitor / keyboard / mouse. I have Solaris 10 x86 cd and would like to install. Can someone walk me through or point me toward some documentation for this??
Thank you
-ddeblance

The V20z server comes from the factory with Solaris pre-loaded. So it will run Solaris 10, at a minimum. I haven't tried 9 on them, but don't see why they wouldn't work.
What OS is on their system disk right now?
For 60 systems, you probably will not want to load Solaris CDs onto each and every one of them. That would take months.
My suggestion would be to setup a Solaris image server from which the systems can download a boot loader then download the Solaris distribution. You can find docs on how to do this at docs.sun.com.
Also, what type of 'testing' do you need to do? If it is hardware testing, you can boot the "Bootable Diagnostics CD" on each system and run a complete hardware check. You can download this CD from the V20z website http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v20z/downloads.jsp

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