Problem in Our Old Solaris

Hi all,
We have SunOS 5.10 server with five (5) applications running.
Lately we encountered frequent running out of memory issues.
It seems that the server can not clean up run-away processes that still holding on the resources.
Even if we shutdown 4 applications and leave the 1 critical, the server still is crawling in performance.
We resolve this the rebooting the server and then the applications is good in performance again.
My question is, How do I kill and release or free-up all the held resources by run-away process?
I am only familiar with linux monitoring tools. Is there monitoring tool in SunOS 5.10 that will tell you how much total memory is free and used?. or how much % CPU is free and used.
Thanks you very much in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what resource you are talking about, but killing a process which holds a lot of memory or consumes a lot of CPU should immediately clear up its usage of memory/CPU.
If this is not happening there are two causes which i can think of:
1) you killed the wrong process
2) the process did not end but is still running.
The two most common tools to check a Solaris host for resource usage are prstat (to check the statistics of processes) and vmstat. Other tools which comes to mind are netstat (to check performance of network-related issues) and iostat (for disk activities).
There are also a lot of Dtrace scripts around which might come in handy (Google for the Dtrace Toolkit).
Also, if you are lucky someone installed 'top' on your system, which gives a quite good overview of CPU/memory usage. If its not there you can easily install if from www.sunfreeware.com

  • I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls from my daughter's phone. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot?

    I have a new IPhone5c and do not receive texts or calls sent from my daughter's phone; I'll call this phone 2. We did not have this problem with my old Envy Touch. Verizon is our provider. Can you troubleshoot? My other daughter has a new IPhone5c too. She receives calls and texts from sent from phone 2. Any tips for remedying this problem?
    Thank you.

    Turn off iMessage in your phones settings.   Apple devices can only use iMessage to other Apple devices.
    Turning off iMessage will allow the messages to go as regular text messages.

  • How do I sync old devices to a new iMac without our old iTunes library? Our orig iMac died with the library on it.

    Our old iMac died and we got a new one. The problem is that our entire iTunes library was on the old iMac and all of our iPads and iPhones were synced to the old dead iMac. How do we sync the devices to the new iMac now?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Problem with IPSec on  solaris 9

    Hi all
    I'm facing a problem with IPSec on solaris 9 that I didn't have with Solaris 8 (With the Security package installed).
    I've an application that creates SA's by using the pf-key interface.
    What it does is first doing a GETSPI to a specific SPI and a specific Destination IP Address.
    This will create an SA and put it in a LARVAL state. After about a minute my application will do an UPDATE to this SPI and that command should change the state of the SA from LARVAL to MATURE but instead I get an error saying that this SPI & IP address already exist (errno = 17).
    Well of course it's already exist that's the all point it should just change the state of an existing SA.
    This exact scenarion was is working fine on Solaris 8.
    Am I doing somthing wrong (maybe there is a package on the solaris 9 that I need to install ?)
    or is this a bug in solaris 9.
    If anyone has any idea on how to do that (without using a one step ADD for a new SA) I will be very thankfull.

    Sorry for using reply for querying.
    I got a problem in creating a Security Association using the PF_KEY Socket (first used SADB_GETSPI and got SPI,with SPI tried to update SADB_UPDATE).
    Getting this problem on Sun Solaris 8.
    It returns errno 122 . operation not supported.
    Here is my mailId [email protected]
    I got few more queries regarding PF_KEY socket.
    Not much directions are available also for pf_key socket in internet.
    Monitor produces the following error.
    # ipseckey monitor
    "Base message (version 2) type UPDATE, SA type AH.
    Error Operation not supported on transport endpoint from PF_KEY.
    Message length 16 bytes, seq=4294967294, pid=450."

    Thanks in Advance.

  • On our project site, with Firefox 4 and 5, buttons don't take the keyboard focus if you mouse-click on them. Is this a problem of our site?

    On a page like http://www.ori.uzh.ch/links.html, clicking a link opens a new tab, and after closing that tab, you can move to the next link with the tabulator key. On that site, it still works with Firefox 5. I also worked on our project site (password secured, sorry) with Firefox up to 3.6.18. But now, if I open a link with the mouse, close that tab again and press the tab key, the focus just goes to the first clickable button, as if I had not clicked any button previously. If I open a link by tab key and "enter", the keyboard focus is preserved on that button. But there are many many buttons on our pages, and they reload frequently.
    BTW I adjusted the system preferences, so that the keyboard focus moves between all controls. (see http://www.tipstrs.com/tip/1505/Tab-key-to-select-form-elements-in-Firefox-on-the-Mac). But I don't think the problem is related to that.

    I found out that our buttons are no links, but input tags, type="submit". I'll discuss the problem with our programmer.

  • I just purchased 2 new iPhones for my wife and I and set them up. We want to give the old phones to our kids, with the ability to share all the songs in my iTunes account. How do I want to give new names so our old phones sync with our kids names?

    Sorry for the long intro question.  I just bought a new iPhone 5S for me and a new 5C for my wife.
    We want to give our kids my old 4S and my wife's old 4.  We backed up our old phones and restored
    our info to our new ones, but when we connect our old phones, they still show all our songs and iTunes
    settings on them (along with the same names as our new ones).
    We want to set up our old iPhones for our kids to be able to have their own names on theirs so that
    when we connect to my iTunes computer, it sees each phone accordingly, and has only the songs
    that they select (whereas I want to keep ALL my songs in my iTunes account on mine, not just some).
    How do I do this?

    You are most welcome

  • How do we remove our current phone numbers from our old iPhones?

    So my girlfriend and I both upgraded our iPhone 5 to the iPhone 6.  We backed up both phones and transferred everything to the new phones.  I was thinking about selling the phones but I noticed that my current number is still on my old phone and my girlfriends number is still on her old phone.  The number is located when
    I tried researching this but nothing seems to work.  I did the Settings/General/Reset/Erase all settings and content.  I have tried doing it through iTunes.  Its like the phone is ready to be set up as new, and everything is cleared on the phone except our numbers.  We are not signed into iCloud.  I even signed on to my iCloud account on my girlfriends old phone but her number still shows.  Its very frustrating. 
    Bottom line, is I am trying to get rid of our current phone numbers that are still on our old iPhones.
    EDIT: I just realized that our old iPhones still says Verizon on them.  Do we possibly have to deactivate the phones some how?  If so, how do we do that?

    Fixed the issue by doing:
    Switched off Face Time (Setting -> FaceTime-> FaceTime OFF)
    Switched off iMessage(Setting -> Messages->iMessage OFF)
    Switched on iMessage (The phone started “Verifying”the incorrect phone number, failed and set it to the correct ported number (seeSettings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Phone).
    At this point the “My Number” (Settings ->Phone -> My Number) had also updated.
    Switched on Face(Same “Verifying” as with iMessage, but tooktwo attempts).
    Power Cycled the ‘phone and re-synced to updateiTunes (Summary “Phone Number” field).
    Hope this helps!

    You can have one icloud account and a different itunes account on the phone. I have my icloud account and a shared itunes account. He does not have to use the new icloud account as is ID in itunes and app store. He can keep using the old one.

    Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

  • Our old email address is still showing and it will not let us correct this on any of our devices. We are locked out and cycle through icloud requests.

    We got a new email address, and it appears that we successfully changed/updated our itunes/icloud account. When we work from our PC everything looks changed, and is obviously reading from our devices. However, all of our devices still show our old email address as the itunes store/icloud account and none of our devices will let us change this. It keeps asking us to sign in with our old Apple ID, but it won't let us sign in. We've tried multiple passwords and have tried to reset it, but that is not working either. Now, its cycling and keeps popping up...won't let us get to any other screen unless we shut off.
    I read the support questions and it said to make sure "find my phone" is shut down, but we can't even do that without a password. Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.
