Oracle VM Server 2.0 for Sun Fire v240?

Hi all,
I am searching and trying all day long to install Oracle VM Server on SPARC 64 Sun Fire v240.
I still can not find information is it supported or not?
I have Oracle Solaris 10 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4u sparc
the CPUs are UltraSPARC-IIIi (portid 0 impl 0x16 ver 0x34 clock 1503 MHz).
I installed OVM_Server_SPARC-2_0 from https://edelivery.oracle.com/
Anyway the command ldmconfig returns that This is not supported by my platform!
In the release notes of Logical Domain Manager 1.2, 1.3 and VM Server 2.0 is written the supported hardware and I can not see the v240, but I see
Supported Platforms:
Sun Fire and SPARC Enterprise T1000 Servers
Sun Fire and SPARC Enterprise T2000 Servers
Probably this sun fire is not Sun fire v240 but it is sun fire t1000?!
What do you think - is my server supported for any of these versions? Is virtualization possible?
Also I can not download version 1.3 because it's moved to oracle my support section but it was free?
Need your help and support :)
Thanks a lot.

A T1000 servers does not show V240.
uname -a on T1000 output below
bash-3.00# uname -a
SunOS xxxx 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T1000
Thanks,
Sudhir

  • Looking for the right KVM drawer and switch for SUN Fire v240 and v880

    Hi,
    We have Sun Fire v240, v880, and four dell servers in a Shark Rack. The LCD monitor and keyboard drawer and the KVM switch were part of the original installation from Shark Rack. The switch and the monitor stop responding from time to time so I am looking for a replacement.
    I am surprised that the prices for the KVM drawer are very different from different manufactures. I was just wondering whether I really need a SUN ready certified KVM drawer. If anyone has any experiences(good or bad) with getting a new KVM, please share it with me.
    If the KMV drawer is compatible with SUN systems, do I need to install any patch on the system or it's simply plug and play?
    Thanks!

    For most SPARC based Sun Servers you do not need a KVM switch, but merely a terminal switch which you can attach to the console port of the Sun Server. There are plenty of Terminal Servers to choose from, the most recent i bought was a Cyclade, which works very well and allows you to ssh to a console..

  • ISO image for Sun Fire v60x diagnostics CD

    The only thread I can find on this diagnostic CD is from 2006:

    Does not work due to the shift from Sun to Oracle.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction for the file? I've been searching for months.

    Hello,
    it should be possible to locate these files via the migrated (Sun) System Handbook.
    This is a blog entry about the new location of the System Handbook (review the 3rd comment)
    http://blogs.sun.com/patch/entry/goodbye_sunsolve_helloooo_mos
    Maybe the user Nik (http://forums.oracle.com/forums/profile.jspa?userID=826741) can help to locate the download. He is very active on these forums and an Oracle employee.
    I don't have a MOS account, otherwise I would have been able to confirm if this download is still available. I guess due to the fact that Oracle contracts are more "fine grained", it's possible that downloads only for the systems covered by your service contract are visible.

  • 300Gb SAS disk support for Sun Fire V445

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me if 300Gb 10K SAS disks are compatible and supported by Oracle for Sun Fire V445's? The disks I have in mind are Sun FRU PN: 540-7869-01.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Richard

    Thanks for your post.
    I am finding Oracle's approach to hardware very frustrating. Their ultra conservative approach seems to be motivated by a desire to driving customers to newer, more expensive systems. Can't fit you data on 16 300GB SAS drives in a x4250 that cost $20K - why you can buy a new pillar system for $121,000! Never mind one aught to be able to use 1TB drives.
    And the cost of SUN's drives! I mean its not like they actually make them. No, they take Seagate drives, put them in a fancy bracket and charge 10x more!
    I am really wondering how much longer I will stay with Oracle! I mean my PC can hold more data than my x4250 that cost 15x more! And Linux may soon have the ZFS capability. So why Oracle?

  • Migrate Solaris 10 from Sun-Fire-V240 to T5140

    Hi everyone.
    Is it possible to migrate Solaris 10 running Oracle 10g RAC on a Sun-Fire-V240 to a T5140 without having to reinstall OS + Oracle-DB-software from scratch?
    Because both servers are based on a SPARC-processor, I am guessing that it should be possible to patch/configure the OS to run on a T5140 instead of a V240.
    Well, I have tried the following:
    1) Booting the T5140 using "disk1" (c1t0d0).
    2) Formatting "disk2" (c1t1d0) in the same number of slices I have on the V240.
    3) newfs on every slice, mounting and copying from V240 to T5140 using "ufsdump/ufsrestore" over ssh.
    4) Editing the /etc/vfstab.
    5) installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
    ...Because I haven't got the correct platform for T5140 on the V240-install (even though it is patched recently), I used the one on the T5140.
    6) Removed the /etc/path_to_inst and tried to "boot -ar" (after switching disk2 to "disk1-controller-position").
    When 1-6 did not work, I tried a few other things:
    a) Replace the /platform and /usr/platform with the ones on the T5140 (Generic_137111-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5140).
    b) Replace the /kernel with the one from the T5140 (Generic_137111-06 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5140).
    c) Replace the /etc/path_to_inst with the one from the T5140.
    No luck so far.
    So I am left with my initial question - is it possible to patch or configure the V240-Solaris10-installation, so it will run on a T5140?
    Thanks,
    Niels

    In theory you can, but the question is if you want the issues. Migrating between architectures is only recommended for sparse zones, but not for any other. In this case it's you go from sun4u to sun4v which will give you enough of issues beside te changing hardware paths and configuration items.

  • Arp -a command is hanging in Sun-Fire-V240

    arp -a command is hanging in Sun-Fire-V240
    # arp -a
    Net to Media Table: IPv4
    Device IP Address Mask Flags Phys Addr
    ^C

    I think 'arp -a' attempts to reverse lookup the IP addresses and turn them into names. I don't see an option to disable that. If your name resolution is having problems, then 'arp -a' might stall. Have you let it run for a few minutes?

  • Proper serial connections for Sun Fire v250

    I recently purchased a (gently) used Sun Fire v250 for use as a workstation. The machine had a graphics card installed by a previous owner, but I accidentally reset the factory defaults on the SCC (I was having a boot problem, and apparently a brain problem).
    My question is, how do I connect over serial to make the default boot up options 'screen' instead of 'ttya'? I know from the oracle docs that I need a specific type of serial cable, but I'm unsure where exactly I can go about finding this. Also, once I get the cable what software (for *NIX or windows) can I use to reset the SCC?
    Thanks,

    Dychron, Inc.Search for a cisco console cable .... this is a typically a 9 pin to RJ 45 ... usually less than say $10 on at least well known auction site.
    If you laptop/desktop does not have a serial get a usb to serial converter as well.
    If you have a linux desk OS then it is possible to connect to a serial connection ... from solaris you would use tip .... from linux typically use 'cu' (built it) ... if I remember correctly.
    Or use recent versions of PuTTY from windows. ... which can also be configured for serial.

  • Tools and Drivers for Sun Fire x2200 M2

    Does any one have an extra Tools and Drivers Disc for a Sun Fire x2200 M2? Or have the ability to give me an iso for it.
    Oracle has locked down the ability to download a copy unless your under support which I highly doubt is legal considering that you can't do several things without the disc.
    Please help

    No one is going to jeopardize their MOS credentials by giving to for free
    what they had to pay money for. They would be subjecting themselves to possibly having all their service contract privileges cancelled by Oracle.

  • DVD Writer for Sun Fire V440

    I was wondering if anyone had found a DVD writer that will work with the Sun Fire V440. I would like an internal drive if possible but an external device would also be acceptable.

    Hello,
    the V440 uses a slimline drive like these ones in notebooks.
    Sun doesn't offer a slimline DVD writer (only full-height).
    You might be tempted to install a slimline DVD writer for notebooks or server, but you have to keep two things in mind:
    - Installing non-Sun or unsupported components voids your warranty/service contract.
    - Slimline drives have no jumpers to select master/slave or cable-select . All drives use cable-select (or reverse cable-select). This setting is determined by the firmware of the drive.
    If voiding the service contract or warranty doesn't bother you, get a drive from a dealer that is able to flash a new firmware to the drive or can sell a drive with the correct non-Sun firmware (and the correct setting cable-select or reverse cable-select).
    Regarding the brands or types of DVD drives used by Sun, review the Sun System Handbook.
    Using an external DVD writer in an USB enclosure might be possible, but the integrated USB controller (of the V440) is only USB 1.1 (supporting dual speeds of 12 and 1.5 Mbits/sec) which is insuficient for a DVD writer.
    I would recommend that you browse the messages in the solarisx86 Yahoo group.
    http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/messages
    In this group you can find a lot of expertise. Send a single e-mail to one or two people (pointing out that your question isn't directly related to Solaris x86). Posting a message requires joining the group and please keep in mind that your off-topic question is sent to every subscriber of the maillist.

  • Memory used to host Oracle VM server, whats left for the guests?

    I've built my first test Oracle VM server on a small celeron powered machine with 1.5GB RAM. I created a PV OEL5 guest and initially gave it 512MB RAM. Now if I increase this to 1024MB and try to start the system I get the error...
    failed:<OVSException: no server selected to run vm('/OVS/running_pool/50_OELr5r3') memory=1024> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 77, in start_vm raise e
    A little research implies this error is because not enough memory is available to run the OS. So how much from the 1.5GB of RAM is actually available for guests? I would be surprised to learn that 512MB is used JUST for the host environment. Doing a cat /proc/meminfo gives me the following;
    *[root@ovm ~]# cat /proc/meminfo*
    MemTotal:       545968 kB
    MemFree:        335464 kB
    Buffers:         75120 kB
    Cached:          58392 kB
    SwapCached:          0 kB
    Active:         143920 kB
    Inactive:        22356 kB
    So 533MB available to the host OS... This leaves just under a gig For the guests, but I can't find where the max is detailed. I can't find anything in the docs which detail how much resources the base Oracle VM server uses and if it's possible to tune this.

I can't find anything in the docs which detail how much resources the base Oracle VM server uses and if it's possible to tune this.Check /boot/grub/menu.lst -- the memory for Dom0 is set on the kernel boot line. You can lower this, but don't go too low. I usually recommend about 10% of total memory be dedicated to Dom0 up to a max of 3.5GB, so on a 1.5GB box, you could probably drop to 150MB or so. Keep in mind that Dom0 is a 32-bit kernel, so you don't want to go over 3.5GB without good reason.

  • Do older versions of Oracle Application Server support Containers for J2EE?

    Do older versions of Oracle 9iAS support Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J)?
    I went to the our companies application server directory. I don't see an oc4j or j2ee directory.
    Thanks,
    Merced

    How far back are you looking? ANd what, in particular, are you looking for ...
    The history of the Oracle 'internet service' that I remember is roughly:
    Web Server 2.1 (mid 1990s)
    Web Application Server 3.x (mid 1990s)
    Oracle Application Server 4.0.x (late 1990s)
    Oracle Internet Application Server 1.0.x (2000)
    Oracle Application Server 8i (basically 1.0.2.22.2.z)
    Oracle Application Server 9i (9.0.2, 9.0.3)
    Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4, 10.?.1)
    Oracle had an initial J2EE container [attempt] with 4.0.x but that never really took off. I think that was really around the time of the last beta revisions for the JSP spec, and that's left us with the legacy of JServ apps. Seems like you would see OJSE, Oracle JSE (Java Server Engine?) in the docco and path.
    IIRC, the current OC4J lineage started with around IAS 1.0.2 and has moved forward on what is now OC4J. There were some opportunities in the early days to improve consistency in the naming and directory structure areas. That has some lineage from Ironflare's Orion engine and so occasionally you see 'Orion' in the messages.
