New Zones features in Solaris 10 Beta 5

Solaris 10 Beta 5 (otherwise known as Software Express 7/04) should be
available shortly via the download link
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/get.html
For more information on what's available in the release, please see the
already posted documentation
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-0547
There are some new Zones features in this release that folks might be
interested in
* Command line editing and history for zonecfg(1M)
With support from the the libtecla(3LIB) library, zonecfg(1M) now has
command line editing and history support which should help in creating
and/or modifying a zone's configuration.
* Configuring UFS, UDFS, HSFS and PCFS file systems through zonecfg(1M)
Starting with this release, users can specify ufs, udfs(7FS), hsfs(7FS)
and pcfs(7D) file systems as part of the zone's configuration. For
example, if /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 is a block device that you want to
dedicate to a zone under the name /mydata, it can be added as follows:
# zonecfg -z myzone
zonecfg:myzone> add fs
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set dir=/mydata
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set special=/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set raw=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7
zonecfg:myzone:fs> set type=ufs
zonecfg:myzone:fs> end
zonecfg:myzone> commit
zonecfg:myzone> ^D
This file system will automatically get mounted under the name /mydata
inside the zone when it is booted or made "ready".
* NFSv4 client support for Zones
Zones can now be NFSv4 clients although in this release the default is
to begin negotiating as NFSv3 clients. To configure a zone to
negotiate NFSv4, the NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX parameter in /etc/default/nfs
should be uncommented and set to "4".
* The new -z and -Z options to ps(1)
The new -z option can be used to select only processes in the given
list of zones. For example, the command "ps -z twilight,16,myzone"
will print those processes from the zones with the names "twilight",
"myzone" and the zoneid 16.
The -Z option automatically adds a ZONE field to the existing reports
as the first column.
The Zones team would appreciate hearing feedback from our customers on
these new features and any other Zones issues or questions that you
might have.

In the README file for the 07/04 release it says that there's a problem with some 64bit runtime libraries missing from the SUNWlibC package. I'm a bit unsure about where to download this package from. Do you have the link to the page it is refering too???

No new slideshow features in LR Beta 4???

While it looks like there have been some great updates in the forthcoming version, I'm surprised to not see mention of any new slideshow functionality. LR3 was very disappointing in this regard only letting you use one song and also no ability to apply ken burns type effects etc. Am I missing something or did Adobe really not make any changes to that module?

How do I get from Branded Zones to "real" Solaris 10 Zones?

My head is beginning to spin! I am beginning to think I have been led down a blind alley.
We have vast numbers of old Solaris 8 systems that we want to consolidate on new hardware in Solaris 10 Zones. We have been bombarded with advice that the way to go is to move it first to Branded Zones, as a stepping stone, and then migrate/upgrade it from there to Solaris 10. So we have started on our journey.
We now have our first bunch of Solaris 8 containers happily installed and running. And yes, it was relatively easy and painless, and the tool support was good. But now what? What are the steps and tools that will make the second step, from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10?
Everything out there hints that it is supposed to be easy. But every time I try and spec out the steps for our teams to follow I come unstuck. Does Live Upgrade feature in this anywhere? (And if so, at what point does my zone lose its Brand identity?) Is there some way to use archives? (And if so, how do I only include the bits I need to move?) Is there something magic under the covers of the Zone administration commands? (And if so, what pulls in my Solaris 8 stuff?) Is there at least some tool somewhere that will capture the configuration I need and build me a new one?
If the answer is that I just define the new Zone by hand and re-install all my applications from scratch, then can somebody explain just what I have achieved so far, and in what way it can be construed as a "stepping stone"?

Correct. But we have now invested in the time taken to learn about Branded Zones, do the migrations, teach the support teams how to manage them... Plus we are paying the subscription for the Branded Zone software. And we still have pure Solaris 8 applications staring end-of-support in the face. We could have made the same investment to re-install the applications in a real Solaris 10 Zone and make them work "properly". All the publicity tells me I've made my migration to Solaris 10 much easier, but I still can't see how I'm any nearer my end point.Here's where your losing it. There is no real distinction between what you call a normal Solaris 10 zone and a Solaris Branded 8 zone. They could have called it something else and you would still insist that somehow one is normal and one is not. There are a variety of Branded Zones. There's a Solaris 8, Solaris 9, and Linux Branded Zones. They differ from what you call "normal" zones in that you basically are adding an OS to the Base OS and are not just copying files from the Base OS. That's the only difference. In all other respects they are the same. The only differentiators is for a Branded Zone you are adding the files from some other OS, even if it's just an earlier version of Solaris.
How do you migrate from a Solaris 8 zone to a Solaris 10 zone. The same way that you moved from the Solaris 8 physical box to the Solaris 8 branded zone. The steps should be the same. Implicite_Order pretty much said the same thing.
You seem to have a hang up on the words "normal zone." Yea I know, you've spent time and money and educated everyone and now your looking for the payoff. As I already stated and has been echoed by I_O, contact the vendor to see if they have Solaris 10 support, if they do, create a zone on a dev box, do some testing, and then create the zone on the real box, do the install, migrate the data. Just as you already did from the Solaris 8 box. If they don't have a Solaris 10 specific version you can still setup a test box, create a "normal" zone, install the app and some test data, make sure it works, and then create the "normal" zone, install the app, migrate the data, and relax.

Problem with zone installation on solaris 08/07

Hello :)
I need some help
I install solaris 10 08/07 on my x2100 M2.Everything is ok.

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 :)

Problem with zone creation in Solaris 10 6/06

Hi,
I have configured and installed a non-global zone following the example given in the guide http//www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/posgresqlhowto.jsp. My zone has the following configuration:
# zonecfg -z pg_zone
zonecfg:pg_zone> info
zonepath: /export/zones/pg_zone
autoboot: true
pool:
fs:
dir: /pg_log
special: /dev/dsk/c1d0s0
raw: /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0
type: ufs
options: []
net:
address: 192.168.10.100/24
physical: bge0
zonecfg:pg_zone> exit
The installation completed but I got the following errors:
# zoneadm -z pg_zone install
Preparing to install zone <pg_zone>.
Creating list of files to copy from the global zone.
Copying <130101> files to the zone.
Initializing zone product registry.
Determining zone package initialization order.
Preparing to initialize <1059> packages on the zone.
Initialized <1059> packages on zone.
Zone <pg_zone> is initialized.
Installation of these packages generated errors: <SUNWgnome-a11y-libs-share>
Installation of <63> packages was skipped.
The file </export/zones/pg_zone/root/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log> contains a log of the zone installation.
When examined the logs there were several messages like this:
SUNW_PKG_THISZONE=true in the pkginfo file.
*** package <SUNWamutl> was not installed:
The package <SUNWamutl> is registered to be installed in the
global zone only. The package may have been installed in the global
zone using the pkgadd '-G' option, or the package may contain a
request script, or the package may directly set the package attribute
SUNW_PKG_THISZONE=true in the pkginfo file.
*** package <SUNWiimdv> was not installed:
The package <SUNWiimdv> is either not fully installed in the
global zone, or the package contains a request script. Only packages
that are fully installed in the global zone and that do not contain a
request script can be installed when a new zone is created. If this
package does not contain a request script, you can correct this
problem by removing and reinstalling the package in the global zone.
And when I try to boot the zone I get this error:
# zoneadm -z pg_zone boot
zoneadm: zone 'pg_zone': "/usr/lib/fs/lofs/mount -o zonedevfs /export/zones/pg_zone/dev /export/zones/pg_zone/root/dev" failed with exit code 33
zoneadm: zone 'pg_zone': call to zoneadmd failed
Any suggestion how to solve this problem?
thanks

To answer your question wangzh: Yes I did. I actually followed exactly the procedure on the how-to-uides: http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/containersLowRes.jsp.
I think the problem here might reside in the script supplied in the solaris distribution for creating zones. For example, in the default configuration script, the package directories /lib /platform /var and /usr are by default set to be automatically imported. But when I try to create a zone using these defaults settings, it ends up with an mounting error that prevents the installation of the zone. only when I remove manually those directories from the configuration then the installation continues.
And during the installation process there are number of packages that are by default imported via the installation script and this is some of those packages that cause the errors here. I also tried to exclude the offending packages as suggested by henryC but I couldn't find all of them and the creation still fails at the booting.

X Series is here – New Counter Features!

Hey All,
The new X Series Multifunction DAQ devices have been announced – check them out here.
I’m posting here because I think X Series has several new counter features that many on this forum have been looking for. The user manual
will have all of these details and more with timing diagrams but I
thought I’d summarize a few of the sexier features and open it up for
comments/feedback.
First off – what stayed the same between
M Series/TIO counters and X series counters? The pinouts between M and
X series are the same so the PFI lines and default counter pinouts are
the same. The DAQmx programming is the same (you’ll need DAQmx 9.0, it
should be up this afternoon) and all the functionality that was
supported by M Series is supported by X Series, though a few behaviors
may have changed. Counters are still 32 bit.
Now on to
the fun stuff – the big one that I tend to overlook: X Series has 4
counters per board! They all have the same features and Freq Out is
still there too (with an additional 20MHz timebase).
Timebases:
X Series devices have 100MHz, 20MHz and 100kHz timebases. Note the
difference between 80MHz on M series and 100MHz on X series. DAQmx will
take care of the difference for you, unless you were programming in
terms of ticks and hardcoded in numbers based off of a 80MHz clock.
Counter
FIFOs: X Series has a 127 sample FIFO per counter. When combined with
PCIe/PXIe, our benchmarked buffered counter rates went from ~350k on M series
(with a 2 sample FIFO) with a single counter to 10MHz on all four
counters (160MB/s streaming rate). The FIFO also allows us to implement…
Buffered Counter Output: Probably my favorite new feature. You can
now use a multi point write on counters and write out a buffer of pulse
values. There are two timing modes for this: implicit and sample
clocked. With implicit timing, every idle/active pair you write is
generated as a pulse. You can vary the idle/active time for every pulse
in your pulse train. Check out the "Gen Dig Pulse
Train-Buff-Implicit-Cont.vi" shipping example. With sample clock
timing, the idle/active time are updated every time a sample clock is
received. Check out the "Gen Dig Pulse Train-Buff-Ext Clk-Cont.vi"
shipping example. These modes give you much more control over your
waveform – now everything about it can be hardware timed. Also, I’ve
benchmarked the output rates at 10MHz on all four counters at the same
time.
Finite pulse train with one counter: Each X Series
counter has an Embedded counter paired with it. The embedded counter
isn’t directly programmable, but it does allow you to do counter
operations on one counter that used to take two. A finite pulse train
used to take two counters – one to generate the pulse train and one to
gate it. Now a counter generates the pulse train, and its embedded
counter counts the TCs and disables the counter when it reaches the
number of pulses to generate.
More sample clocked
measurement modes: Edge counting and encoder measurements always
supported sample clocks, all other counter measurements were implicitly
(timed by the measurement waveform) timed. With the addition of the
sample clock terminal to the counters now all counter measurements
(except for semi-period) support sample clock timing. You can now get
the pulse width of the pulse just before the sample clock rather than
getting all the pulse widths and figuring out where they happened in
time. Why not semi period? We added a new “pulse” measurement instead
that returns a sample that contains the high and low time (or high and
low ticks, or frequency and duty cycle) so for each sample clock edge
you get a full pulse spec. Semi period still supports the same
measurements it used to, just not sample clocked. Speaking of sample
clocked…
Sample clocked frequency/period measurement
with averaging: X Series still supports the three frequency modes: Low
frequency 1 counter, 2 counter High Frequency and 2 counter Large
Range. In addition it supports sample clocked averaging. This is
essentially a method that is high accuracy method based on the sample
clock rate. With the same measurement time it has the same accuracy as
the Large range mode but it doesn’t take two counters. Note, counters
do not have their own internal sample clock so you have to provide them
with an external signal.
Hope this helps,

Measurement Fundamentals

Hi guys,
I drew up a schematic of one of the applications I need to get running in our lab. To recap:
1)      We have several piezo controllers for nanopositioning of samples under a microscope, some of them driven by a digital circuit that handles coordinate programming and trigger line programming (for syncing detectors to the piezo motion), other controllers are analog and need to be driven by voltages.
2)      We would like to emulate the behavior of the digital controller using the analog HW (we have much more analog controllers than digital ones).
3)      The basic implementation is like this (see also slide one in the attached pdf file) and runs perfectly:
a.       A global pulsetrain ticks with a certain frequency
b.      At each tick a voltage is written on an AO line and this tick is also sent to an RTSI line to sync multiple detectors
4)      To fully emulate the digital controller we also need to implement 4 trigger lines that exist on the digital controller. These trigger lines allow for fully programmable pulsetrain output that is in sync with the movement of the piezo. Slide two in the attached pdf illustrates what is needed. These trigger lines allow for much more intricate syncing of our detectors (only measure during certain parts of the motion instead of all the time).
After a lot of thinking and experimenting with the existing M series boards back here I came to the conclusion that the desired behavior is not possible with an M series board since they only allow for the output of “simple” pulsetrains with a given frequency.
Looking at this webpage (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9384#toc3) however, I think that the X series board would offer exactly what we need since it allows for buffered counter output that enables definition of very complex pulstrain “shapes”.
Looking at the schemes I provided, could someone confirm that the X-series covers our needs? If this is the case, we would be interested in purchasing these kinds of boards.
Cheers,
Kris Janssen

Opscenter 12c creating new zones on x86 server failing

Asking for some help!!!,
We are in the process of implementing Oracle Cloud Control 12c and of course Opscenter is a piece of it. When using Opscenter to install new zones on Sparc platform all works as expected. When using Opscenter to install new zones on a x86 server the process fails with not much information to go on. Without being too verbose with error messages we found the following in the /var/log/zones/zoneadm.323213129xxxx.ddasdhasdj.install file
Running auto-install: '/usr/bin/auto-install -z ddasdhasdj -Z dsaas7990000000000000dasdasda7777/rpool/ -m /tmp/manifest.xml.dsada -c /var/mnt/virtlibs/312321312890/zone-config-profile.xml
Error: auto-install failed.
Exiting with exit code 255.
===== Completed: /usr/lib/brand/solaris/pkgcreatezone this command is also followed by much of the same command-line qualifiers from above.
I'll will say this, the auto-install failed message is actually coming from line 242 fo the pkgcreatezone script found in /usr/lib/brand/solaris
Anyone with experience or knowledge in the area is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Leigh

Thanks for the reply.
As it happens, yesterday, one our guys was working on the machine and rebooted it removing the /system/volatile/install_log so I can't say at this point. I did take a look at the log earlier and can't remember what I saw. I'll have him do another install attempt and let you know what we see.

New CS4 features

At Dave's suggestion, I'm starting a thread for discussing new scripting
features is CS4. I'd divide new features into three categories: 1)
improvements/additions to the InDesign DOM, 2) improvements to the ESTK,
and 3) improvements/additions to ScriptUI.
I'll start off this thread with one improvement on each of these fronts.
(There are lots...)
Category 1:
There's a new isValid property for all InDesign objects. This is
something that's been in the SDK for ever, but only made its way into
the scripting DOM of CS4. This means that instead of try/catch every
time you're trying to figure out if an object is valid, you can just write:
if(myObject.isValid){DoMyStuff()}
or,
if(! myObject.isValid){return}
This is a small thing but in my book it's huge!
Category 2:
There's a new function panel in the ESTK which shows all the functions
in the current script and makes navigating to the functions very easy.
Category 3:
There are now keyboard and mouse events, so you can now create widgets
which do everything the built in dialog scripting widgets do (and a
whole lot more!!!)

Noel, nothing wrong with Roy's posts for me (using the default web interface). It may just be you :-)
Talking about interfaces, please don't comment on this one. It does the job, innit? (I'm sure someone else could do better with ScriptUI. Go ahead.)

New IOS features

Hi guys and girls,
I was wondering if there was a Cisco mailing list or some type of advertising shoot that Cisco used to advertise new features in IOS software? I have been reading through text books on the new exams in the past to keep up to date but thought that there must be a better way out there that I have simply missed.
Any help will be appreciated. Oh and you can also be the first person to respond to my posts on the forum :S. To be fair I fixed the other issues by myself but it’s always nice to hear from others.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike,
To be completely honest, I would welcome such mailing list or a concise information channel for new and changed IOS features as well. Unfortunately, so far, there are no such focused information sources to my best knowledge.
What you can always visit:
1) Each major IOS generation is documented along with the Release Notes which document the changes, newly added or removed features, solved and open caveats, etc. Following is the list of Release Notes for major IOS versions for routers:
12.4: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/prod_release_notes_list.html
12.4T: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/prod_release_notes_list.html
15.0M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10591/prod_release_notes_list.html
15.1M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10592/prod_release_notes_list.html
2) Also, major new features are described in standalone documents called the Feature Guides:
12.4: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_feature_guides_list.html
12.4T: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/products_feature_guides_list.html
15.0M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10591/products_feature_guides_list.html
15.1M: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10592/products_feature_guides_list.html
3) For Catalyst switches, the Release Notes are are published more often, however, the IOSes for Catalyst switches are customized for each Catalyst platform and you should always go to the appropriate Catalyst switch product pages to visit the corresponding IOS documentation.
4) As the Catalyst switches have very nice Configuration Guides, they can also be used as sources of information about supported features, including learning about new features - although it may be difficult to know which exact feature has been added in a new version.
Anyone here willing to share his/her own ways of keeping in pace with new IOS features?
Best regards,
Peter

Have you used the new workflow features in CM 12?

In CM 12.0, users can optionally deploy the standard
approval processing or new flexible, workflow approval
processing based on the project and/or document. Have you
used the new workflow features? Do you think the new
workflows will allow your organization to better drive and
control internal and multiple party reviews?

I was one of those users who fight for this
functionality.
I find using it however very
unhandy.
Let me give you real
life examples:
1. Once you
create an order/contract and do not choose "New
Method" you cannot change approval method to new any
more. Imagine one of my users was creating an order
with 120 items (hell of typing!) then she spotted that
she cannot send it with new review process to several
reviewers in sequence. The need for retyping it makes
5 other ppl already against this software, even if
they did not used it at all.
2.
Document Owner has admin rights.
For some
reason user needs to be document owner in order to
setup review process. Imagine in our situation usual a
site assistant, or junior person in technical office
is responsible for creating and typing all the
orders/contracts. So this person needs to be Document
Owner in order start review.
Document owner
however can also approve/reject in name of other users
mentioned in review cycle. This I find strange and
make entire new review/approval cycle worthless, as
the situation is still that anyone can approve someone
on someone behalf with no control.
 3. Alerts missing. I couldn't find an alert that
would be generated if a document is held internal (by
user) for more then ... x days.
 4. I'm also missing a Project Setting for "all
documents must use new review process"; "defoult
reviewers is + 'All in sequence' + 'list of reviewers'
- for each kind of document. If
you want to force users to follow a strict
methodology, and your software gives them chance to
choose whomever they want, wherever they want, use any
approval method, approve on someone behalf ... you
will finally fail. I keep
hearing that Primavera sold thousand of licenses, and
they will develop this product, I just hope they will
hurry, before users switch to other software.

zoneadm: zone 'tech': 'brand-specific installation' terminated by signal SIGSEGV.
Uninstalled and deleted tech zone but still getting this error. Already in the server it has 3 non global zones up and running. Sun server is V880.
Thanks,

Depending on what type of branded zone you're attempting to install you might not have support in your current OS. Solaris 9 branded zones require S10 update 4 (08/07) or later as the baseline platform. There might be additional packages required.
The only S9 branded zone I built was on S10 Update 6 so I don't know the exact specs under 10u4.

New zone and inherited file system mount point error

Hi - would anyone be able to help with the following error please. I've tried to create a new zone that has the following inherited file system:
inherit-pkg-dir:
dir: /usr/local/var/lib/sudo
But when I try to install it fails with:
root@tdukunxtest03:~ 532$ zoneadm -z tdukwbprepz01 install
A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
Preparing to install zone <tdukwbprepz01>.
ERROR: cannot create zone <tdukwbprepz01> inherited file system mount point </export/zones/tdukwbprepz01/root/usr/local/var/lib>
ERROR: cannot setup zone <tdukwbprepz01> inherited and configured file systems
ERROR: cannot setup zone <tdukwbprepz01> file systems inherited and configured from the global zone
ERROR: cannot create zone boot environment <tdukwbprepz01>
I've added this because unknown to me when I installed sudo from sunfreeware in the global it requires access to /usr/local/var/lib/sudo - sudo itself installs in /usr/local. And when I try to run any sudo commands in the new zone it gave this:
sudo ls
Password:
sudo: Can't open /usr/local/var/lib/sudo/tdgrunj/8: Read-only file system
Thanks - Julian.

Think I've just found the answer to my problem, I'd already inherited /usr ..... and as sudo from freeware installs in /usr/local I guess this is never going to work. I can only think to try the sudo version of the Solaris companion DVD or whatever it's called.

New Collaboration Features of the Portal

Hi,
Do anyone of you know when some of the New Collaboration Features of the Portal is released.
I know that some of the features already are released, but I am especially interested in the new Team workspaces (next-generation of collaboration rooms) and the standard integration to MS Sharepoint.
I found this document
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e00ddbb1-1d2e-2a10-75b0-add05c50ef00]
which stats Q1 2008, but that does not seem to hold. So do any of you have more recent information about the release plan?
Regards,
Henrik Andersen

Hi Henrik,
The beta shipment of the first feature wave of the collaboration portal started end of March, as mentioned [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-collaboration#section10].
Only some selected pilot customers have access to the beta shipment. The features that you mention are included in this beta shipment.
The Collaboration Portal should be available once the ramp-up phase is completed.
You can find also further information in this blog by Vera Gudbrot: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/9027
Hope this helps,
Robert

Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7

Lock screen does not support the new panoramic feature in iOS7.
You are supposed to be able to take panoramic photos and then set them as your lock screen background.
Then you can move your phone around to see the full photo.
My i5 doesn't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe this was removed in the later betas of IOS 7. It may make a reappearance in a future update.
It was mentioned at WWDC when iOS 7 was announced, but there is no mention of it on the Apple website.
