Hi,

How to check the Kernal params during preinstallation of R12

Not any more in Solaris 10.You can still set the kernel parameters in Solaris 10 but with some caveats as follows -- Otherwise, it would not be documented in Metalink Notes (R12 installation) plus it would not work with me :)
- Values in /etc/system must be greater than the new defaults values of Solaris 10
- Any kernel parameters tunables that are obsolete in Solaris 10 are ignored
- Values specified in /etc/system are global and affect all processes on the system
- If you use /etc/system to set IPC rctl values, you must reboot the system for them to take effect
You can set system parameters temporarily by using prctl, but that is lost at reboot so you will need to add the command to the oracle user's .profile
The other option is to create a default project for the oracle user:
projadd -U oracle -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,2048MB,deny)" user.oracle
What this does?
- Makes a project named "user.oracle" with the user oracle as it's only member
- Because the name was of the form "user.username" it becomes the oracle user's default project
- The value of the maximum shared memory is set to 2GB, you might want to use a larger value here if you have more memory and swap
- No reboot is needed, the user will get the new value at their next login
You can check the default project associated with user with following command:
$ id -p oracle

Check OBP from Solaris commands

How to check the current OBP from a running Solaris instance?
Best

If you are to list out OBP eeprom settings, try the eeprom (1M) command. If you are trying to check the OBP version, I think the prtconf(1M) command with the "-V" switch should provide the version number.
Hope this helps.

Oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine

Hi there,
I encountered the following problem during oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine
Error encountered:

The following were the steps taken before encountering the above error
1. logged into a workstation
2. From its xterm terminal I logged to the oracle server via ssh oracle@ip
3. keyed in the following at the command prompt

4. executed the following from the command prompt
./runInstaller
Note: when executing the ./runInstaller, the preinstallation checking just hangs at Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. But the log file shows it failed during preinstallation checking as shown in Error encountered
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you
Ravindran Kanniah

It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
First check your shell by the following command.
$ echo $SHELL
Then select the below.
For csh shell
$ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
For sh,ksh and bash
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
$ echo $DISPLAY
If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

Question of the output of "prstat -a" on solaris 10

Hi, all
Recently, I'm debugging a memory issue on the solaris 10 system. I executed the command like "prstat -U root -n 200 -s rss -a" to list all root user memory consumption and sorted by rss. I'm sure that the total number of root process is less than 100. My target is to find which root process takes the memory most. However I'm concerning the output of the above command. The summary on the bottom of the command showed that the total RSS of root was about 4G, the NPROC was about 150. When I did a "sum" of the RSS of all 150 root processes, the value was 1.5G which was far less than the 4G on the bottom summary.
Does anyone know if my understanding is correct or not? Should they be identical?
Thanks

Because of the way Solaris allocates and reports memory usage it is often (very) hard to account for the different values reported by the various commands. Most often the differences involve shared memory.
Why do you think you have a memory problem?
Do you think the problem is with virtual or physical memory?
Have you looked at:

Solaris 10 with internet ?

Hello, I am Spanish.
This after this translated of Spanish-to-English, maybe the translation be bad XD
I have just to have just to install the solaris 10, this very well, but I do not manage to have internet.
I use a coneccion Ethernet, I do not understand why he does not recognize her and he gets connected, the ip goes for DHCP.
In the Linux this is automatic.
Graxs in advance

So what is "WARNING: ZFS: ZFS module selected, but not configured to to anything." referring to? I've amended my template and commented out all references to UFS so I now have this:
base_config_profile_zfs_disk="slot0.s0 slot1.s0"

base_config_profile_zfs_be="BE1"

base_config_profile_zfs_dump="auto"
base_config_profile_zfs_compress=""
base_config_profile_zfs_var="65536"
I see there is a zfs.conf file in /opt/SUNWjet/Products/zfs/zfs.conf do I need to edit that as well?
Thanks - J.

Hi Julian,
You MUST create /var as part of the installation in base_config, as stuff gets put there really early during the install.
The ZFS module allows you to create additional filesystems/volumes in the rpool, but does not let you modify the properties of existing datasets/volumes.
So,
you still need
base_config_profile_zfs_var="yes" if you want a /var dataset.
/export and /export/home are created by default as part of the installation. You can't modify that as part of the install.
For your zones dataset, seems to be fine and as expected, however, the zfs_rpool_filesys needs to list ALL the filesystems you want to create. It should read zfs_rpool_filesys="logs zones". This makes JET look for variables of the form zfs_rpool_filesys_logs and zfs_rpool_filesys_zones. (The last variable is always picked up, in your case the zones entry. Remember, the template is a simple name=value set of variables. If you repeat the "name" part, it simply overwrites the value.)
So you really want:
zfs_rpool_filesys="logs zones"
zfs_rpool_filesys_logs="mountpoint=/logs quota=32g"
zfs_rpool_filesys_zones="mountpoint=/zones quota=200g reservation=200g"
(incidentally, you don't need to put zfs_pools="rpool" as JET assumes this automatically.)
So, if you want to alter the properties of /var and /export, the syntax you used would work, if the module was set up to allow you to do that. (It does not currently do it, but I may update it in the future to allow it).
(Send me a direct e-mail and I can send you an updated script which should then work as expected, check my profile and you should be able to guess my e-mail address)
Alternatively, I'd suggest writing a simple script and stick it into the /opt/SUNWjet/Clients/<clientname> directory with the following lines in them:
varexportquotas:
#!/bin/sh
zfs set quota=24g rpool/export
zfs set quota=24g rpool/ROOT/10/var
and then running it in custom_scripts_1="varexportquotas"
(Or you could simply type the above commands the first time you log in after the build. :-) )
Mike

Installing Adobe flash on solaris 10

Hi Everyone,
After unpacking the solaris 10 flashplayer I got a single file at the end: libflashplayer.so. Can anyone out there tell me where to copy this file so as to activate flash functionality on my Solaris 10 Firefox 4.0 ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you on Sparc or x86?
Copy the libflashplayer.so file to your plugins directory and it should get installed.
I would suggest checking on the Solaris forums in case you have further issues or need more info.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

There is some problem between the physical IP and the private IP connection.
However I am able to ping successfully and also SSH successfully between the physical IP and the private IP.

Solaris 10 JVM setting

Hi Brother,
I would like to check and change solaris 10 JVM default settting. Which file should I modify? and the JVM setting is set by user profile or for all users? and how can I check the exsiting JVM setting?
Thanks

Fantastic!
On the good box I used
/usr/openwin/bin/xterm -display localhost:10
Success Xterminal popped up on Windows machine
from problem box I got
/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10
Arrrgh!
But! I noticed something this time.
so I shutdown all putty sessions
deleted my saved entry for the Problem Solaris box
And low and behold - Success
The entry in putty must have been corrupt. When I was connecting to the Solaris box the connection was failing to register in .Xauthority (this is what i noticed!) so, i guess, the key in there was out of date and so... issues.
Thanks for the advice. It opened up a new avenue of investigation which is what I needed.
Regards,
JP
