Only in solaris ?

i want to install opensprac in my Linux, but setnv is command under c-shell, so i typed "tcsh" to change the environment, but it done nothing:( who can help me? sos!

Hi shi_fu,
I have never used Icarus Verilog, so I don't know exactly what the problem is. However, looking at the log file you provided, it is possible to guess what is going on.
The sims script calls iverilog with the following command:
iverilog-0.8 -f flist
In most Verilog simulators, the -f flag indicates that the next argument on the command line is a file containing a list of files to be processed. However, the next message, which I'm guessing is from Icarus Verilog says
warning: the -f flag is moved to -p
You'll have to read the Icarus verilog manual to see what this warning means. I'm guessing that Icarus Verilog uses different flags from other simulators. You might have to write a wrapper script which translates the flags that Sims passes into the correct flags for Icarus Verilog.
You might also search further back through this forum. Other people might have posted instructions for getting Icarus Verilog to work.

  • SUNWdsvh & SUNWdsvhx for Solaris 8 only?

    Hi All -
    I am installing Solaris packaged version of DS 5.2P4 via the JES method on a Sol10 server. I notice the JES4 will install the packages SUNWdsvh & SUNWdsvhx, however the documentation http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6697-10/install.html#23713 mentions this are only for Sol8 installations. I know the documentation above was created prior to DS 5.2 support on Sol10 - but the majority of the documentation is not updated for each release.
    Are these packages only for Solaris 8 as the documentation mentions? If so - why would JES4 which knows the installation is taking place on a Sol10 host - install them?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks all

    The short answer is generally no.
    The long answer is that it can be done but you will need to make sure that on the Solaris 10 machine you only use functions/headers/libraries that are available on Solaris 8 otherwise they will not be found and the software won't work.

  • Name resolutiion in solaris 10

    one of the host (storage nfs) are change in ip, i already changed it /etc/hosts but the name cannot be resolved. happen only in solaris 10 client, not in solaris 8 and RHEL 04
    NFS mounting keeps hanging
    Need advice ...

    Check that the name is/is not resolving
    # ping <newname>
    # nslookup <newname>
    as suggested above check that /etc/nsswitch.conf is set correctly if DNS does not resolve <newname> to the new addr.
    A quick workaround while you sort out the name/addr issues is to use the ip add in /etc/vfstab (change back once DNS is fixed).
    e.g.
    ## NFS Mounts
    tsprod:/nfs/home            -   /nfs/home       nfs     -       yes  rw,bg
    tsprod:/nfs/orca            -   /nfs/orca       nfs     -       yes  rw,bgto

  • CISCO LMS 4.0 on solaris 10

    Hello everyone my name is Eric and I have some issues with our LMS 4.0.
    We have installed it on a Solaris 10 non global zone on a Solaris 11.1 server.
    It runs and the webgui is accessible.
    I did an export of the data from the old server and a bulk import to the new one. It ran and added the data but you don't see it in inventory, when you try to run a credential validation on any device it tells you theres nothing in the DCR. I manually added the seeds but still no joy.
    I attempted to make it a slave of our old LMS 4.0 virtual installation but it didn't replicate any data.
    I then attempted to restore/migrate the data from the old serve to the new one but when running the /op/CSCOpx/bin/perl /opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl/restorebackup.pl -d "backup_directory" script I recieved the:
     ERROR MAXENV value reached, fix this perl wrapper!
    I found nothing on a google search related to this issue with perl.
    I have attempted to manually load the DCR and run discovery but when I do it only finds 6 devices 5 of which are unreachable.
    I think I have exhausted all the avenues I have to get this thing up and running.
    Has anyone had to migrate data from a windows base LMS 4.0 platform to a Solaris based LMS 4.0 platform?
    ej

    LMS 4.0 will not work on Solaris 9.  Solaris 10 is the only supported Solaris version these days.

    Your problem is that you can only create Solaris 10 zones. Zones is not a true virtual machine so it can not support older version of Solaris. you want to install. If you need to run Solaris 8 on the same machine as Solaris 10 your only choice is to use something like VMware.

  • JDK 1.6 on Solaris. Multiple java processes and thread freezes

    Hi, we've come across a really weird behavior on the Solaris JVM, reported by a customer of ours.
    Our server application consists of multiple threads. Normally we see them all running within a single Java process, and all is fine.
    At some point in time, and only on Solaris 10, it seems that the main Java process starts a second Java process. This is not our code trying to execute some other application/command. It's the JVM itself forking a new copy of itself. I assumed this was because of some JVM behaviour on Solaris that uses multiple processes if the number of threads is > 128. However at the time of spawn there are less than 90 threads running.
    In any case, once this second process starts, some of the threads of the application (incidentally, they're the first threads created by the application at startup, in the first threadgroup) stop working. Our application dumps a list of all threads in the system every ten minutes, and even when they're not working, the threads are still there. Our logs also show that when the second process starts, these threads were not in the running state. They had just completed their operations and were sleeping in their thread pool, in a wait() call. Once the second process starts, jobs for these threads just queue up, and the wait() does not return, even after another thread has done a notify() to inform them of the new jobs.
    Even more interesting, when the customer manually kills -9 the second process, without doing anything in our application, all threads that were 'frozen' start working again, immediately. This (and the fact that this never happens on other OSes) makes us think that this is some sort of problem (or misconfiguration) specific to the Solaris JVM, and not our application.
    The customer initially reported this with JDK 1.5.0_12 , we told them to upgrade to the latest JDK 1.6 update 6, but the problem remains. There are no special JVM switches (apart from -Xms32m -Xmx256m) used. We're really at a dead end here in diagnosing this problem, as it clearly seems to be outside our app. Any suggestion?

    Actually, we've discovered that that's not really what was going on. I still believe there's a bug in the JVM, but the fork was happening because our Java code tries to exec a command line tool once a minute. After hours of this, we get a rogue child process with this stack (which is where we are forking this command line tool once a minute):
    JVM version is 1.5.0_08-b03

         at sun.jvm.hotspot.tools.JStack.main(JStack.java:58)I'm pretty sure this is because the fork part of the UnixProcess.forkAndExec is using the Solaris fork1 system call, and thus all the Java context thinks all those threads exist, whereas the actual threads don't exist in that process.
    It seems to me that something is broken in UnixProcess.forkAndExec in native code; it did the fork, but not the exec, and this exec thread just sits there forever. And of course, it's still holding all the file descriptors of the original process, which means that if we decide to restart our process, we can't reopen our sockets for listening or whatever else we want to do.
    There is another possibility, which I can't completely rule out: this child process just happened to be the one that was fork'd when the parent process called Runtime.halt(), which is how the Java process exits. We decided to exit halfway through a Runtime.exec(), and got this child process stuck. But I don't think that's what happens... from what I understand that we collected, we see this same child process created at some point in time, and it doesn't go away.
    Yes, I realize that my JVM is very old, but I cannot find any bug fixes in the release notes that claim to fix something like this. And since this only happens once every day or two, I'm reluctant to just throw a new JVM at this--although I'm sure I will shortly.
    Has anyone else seen anything like this?

  • Portal Server support on Solaris/Intel Architecture

    Hi Gurus,
    Is iPlanet portal supported on Solaris on Intel architecture? Any of you have this kind of setup and experienced any problem? or was it smooth sailing? or is there some particular version of Solaris OS that has to be used..etc.
    Thanks
    Ashok

    The short answer is No. The current version of Portal Servers both 3.0 and 6.0 are supported only in Solaris / Sparc arch.

  • OAS installtion on Solaris intel based

    Dear all,
    I have to do a installation of OAS on Solaris Intel machine.. Sunfire 440. I can only find the below installation guide on oracle.com. I can find only for Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit) and not intel .. can anyone guide me with this ?
    Oracle Application Server Installation Guides
    AIX 5L Based Systems (64-Bit) HTML PDF
    HP-UX Itanium HTML PDF
    HP-UX PA-RISC (64-Bit) HTML PDF
    Linux Itanium HTML PDF

    Microsoft Windows HTML PDF
    Microsoft Windows (64-Bit) on Intel Itanium HTML PDF
    Solaris Operating System (SPARC 64-Bit) HTML PDF
    TIA
    Kai

    You should follow the doc that you found for solaris, the thing is that the patches and fixes for this that you would found are for the PARISC server, if you can get the same patches and fixes for your intel server, use them and if you can't start the installation process, try to run installer like runInstaller.sh -ignoresysprereqs.
    Greetings.

  • Using Solaris 11 Express for a multiprocessor CAD/CAM x86-64 system.

    I'm considering using Solaris 11 Express as the OS for a multiprocessor Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing custom built x86-64 system for my machine shop business. I would like clarification of the license in this situation.
    Would I be allowed to use Solaris 11 for free under the open-source license, or would I have to purchase a commercial license? Would I have to pay for program updates? Does just the Oracle Solaris Premier Subscription for Solaris 11 require payment rather than the actual software as well? Would I be required to purchase an Oracle Solaris Premier Subscription to use Solaris 11 in my situation, or can I purchase the Oracle Solaris Premier Subscription at a later date.
    I have a lot of respect the open-source concept, and I would only use Solaris while keeping it's license intact. So the answers to these questions are very important factors affecting my decision regarding whether or not my company will start to use Solaris.

    I'm afraid you'll have to contact Oracle directly to clarify what applies in your situation.

  • Oracle Rac on Solaris Containers

    We are planning to implement Oracle 11G RAC on Solaris 10 using non-global zone. RAC is now officially certified on Solaris containers.
    But we are still investigating whether zone Cluster (Using Solaris Cluster) is the prerequisite to have Oracle RAC on Solaris non-global zone.
    This oracle document *(Supported Virtualization and Partitioning Technologies for Oracle Database and RAC Product Releases [ID 1173831.1])* stated that:
    _"*Oracle Solaris Containers are supported with Oracle RAC 10gR2 and 11gR1 (with Oracle Solaris Cluster on SPARC64). Solaris version 10 Update 7 or later (patches 141444-09, 143055-01, 142900-06, 143137-04 "md patch") with Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3 and 3.2u2 patched to 126106-39 or later."*_
    Does it mean that Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Container only with Solaris Cluster?
    In other word does Oracle RAC is supported on Solaris Non-Global zones without using Solaris Cluster?

    It was my understanding too. Do you have any source document where it is specifically noted that solaris cluster(Zone Cluster) is needed for RAC?
    Please check this document www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/systems-hardware-architecture/deploying-rac-in-containers-168438.pdf, nowhere it is said that Solaris Cluster is needed.

    I get prompted : "Type of Installation you want to perform"
    No matter which option I chose - I get the same results.
    I get the msg: "Booting Kernel/Unix"
    I then get the msg : "Configuring devices"
    The screen flashing with information, then the computer reboots.

    I checked in the BIOS - nothing about ACPI.
    I am able to install multiple distros of Linux with no issues. I have not try to install any of the BSD's.
    I tried to install Solaris 8, but I was unable. The issue was an open memory slot. I have 1 256mb memory card.
    I was able to install Solaris 9 but I had an issue with a virus on my Windows side. I had to completly format the drive.
    I have read alot aboiut Solaris 10 and wanted to give it try. I have installed via VMware.
    I am tring to install only the Solaris 10 - no other OS will be on the HD.
    Thank you in Advance,

    I don't know why Solaris is so good at finding faulty ram. Windows seems to instal but will crash randomly (Nothing unusual there :) so it's hard to say the memory is bad). I don't really use Linux that much so Ive never run it on a machine with faulty ram.
    If we have a machine which is acting up in windows we simply try to boot solaris. If it fails then we change the ram and it usually fixes the problem. It's just our experience.
    I hope that the second sim fixes your problem
    Good Luck

  • Solaris 8 patches

    Hi could not find a better forum to post this...
    I have a Sun Fire server running Solaris8 on Sparc. We had some security issues with this server and I was going to download the patch set's as we have done before.. but I get the happy message "This download is only available to users with a valid Sun Service Plan associated to their SunSolve user account".
    Now do I really need to purchase ANYTHING to get OS patches? I paid for the OS and the server... Even Micro$soft gives away patches for free.. I don't get this.. I assume there must be a way?
    I don't really mind paying... but for patches?
    Any tips? Seems abit daft paying a for a service agreement on an old server with an old os.. we are stuck with some other old software so we cannot upgrade this server to solaris 9 or 10... actually we even downgraded it when we got it..

    I just took a moment
    (admittdly a very brief 90-second moment)
    and went to the Sun corporate web site.
    In the top right corner of that web page there is a search box.
    I searched on "smpatch" and got more than 600 results, including links to documentation.
    I did not spend too much time reading the contents of the links,
    but it is probable that smpatch might be only for Solaris 9 and newer.
    ... but I don't have any Solaris 8 systems to experiment with.

  • Solaris 8 or 9 on Sparc 20

    I have a Sparc 20. I am unable to get to miniroot using either Software 1 or Installation CDs (either Solaris 8 or 9 - isos downloaded and burned a variety of ways using both Nero and CD Creator).
    The machine boots. The alias for the CD drive is correct (I've also tried a different CD drive with same result) but when I issue a boot cdrom -s command the machine begins to load from the CDROM, then after 20 to 30 secs or so, it just stops on the "hourglass". It has loaded some data from CD because the CD light is on for a good while and the "hourglass" does spin for several revolutions before it just stops. Should I be looking at memory? I can L1-A at this point just fine - so machine isn't completly frozen. Help appreciated?
    The machine does boot fine using a Redhat port for SPARC (same type of CDRs - 700min - so that ain't the prob either).
    Furthermore I have a Solaris 9 X86 machine working fine on net. Can I use this as a Install server for a net boot on the SPARC (sounds like no from what I've read). If someone can point me to useful help on this it would be great. I understand that the filesystems on the Sparc CDs can't be read on X86 Solaris.
    Anyway - distinct Newbie on Sun HW... Comming from SGI background. Excuse the old hardware - it's all I've got for the moment.
    Anything will be helpful

    My SS20 was super picky when it came to the speed of the burned media, but only for Solaris for some reason. I burned Aurora 1.0 at 32x and It was good to go, but Solaris 9 cried when I burned it any faster than 4x.
    Have you tried burning it at 4x, or even 1x?
    It also takes what seems like AGES to load up from the Solaris install CDs, and unless your using 10K RPM SCSI with 256+ Mb of RAM, expect it to take 6-12 hours to install the OS from the stock CD-Rom on an SS20.
