Problems with LDOMs in Solaris 11

I got a new T5-2 server, installed Solaris 11 and was going to configure LDOMs. However "ldmd" can't be started and in turn ldm doesn't work.

Hi 69768d81-19e9-4597-ad17-b29f5c618a87
I am also getting the same error (fatal error: HV MD unable to assign frag @ 0x0.0x3900000 from free PRI list) while booting the Solaris 11.1 server on T5-2.
Can you please let me know how did you upgrade the SRU version.

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."

Problem with Java in solaris 10 zone

HI ,
i get this error message in my solaris 10 zone :
#./java version
Exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested -4 bytes for size_t in /BUILD_AREA/jdk1.5.0_11/hotspot/src/os/solaris/vm/os_solaris.cpp. Out of swap space?

best regards

I see mention of a similar problem, but only with early development releases of solaris10 branded zones running on Solaris 11 development bits. It seems as though this is not what you are running.
Since there are no swap caps nor brand emulation in place, the next thing I would suspect would be that you somehow have inconsistencies between key libraries (e.g. libc) and the kernel. This could happen if you have a full-root zone that has been force attached (zoneadm -z <zone> attach -F). In the past, I've seen products that do this under the covers (e.g. Veritas Cluster) so it may have happened without your knowledge. If it is a sparse root zone, you may want to run "zoneadm -z <zone> detach; zoneadm -z <zone> attach -u". Prior to doing so, take whatever precautions you would normally take when patching a system.
If you open a support call about this I bet the first advice you are going to get is to patch, as you seem to be 2+ years behind. Also, newer releases of Java 5 are available at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase5-419410.html.

Problem with Jni on Solaris

Hello I am using a Native code that is working perfect on Windows .
I have used DllMain calls to initialize my threads .
I attach my lower stack threads to the JNI by using these methods.
Well I want to know what is way to put the same functionality on Solaris.As this particular method is specific to Windows Platform only.
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,                     // handle to DLL module
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,      // reason for calling function
LPVOID lpReserved                // reserved
     BOOL returnValue = FALSE;
switch (ul_reason_for_call)
          case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
               // We do not perform any initialization
               // within this section. Instead we have
               // chosen to use the JNI_OnLoad function
               // as the library initialization point.
               returnValue = TRUE;
               break;
          case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
               // We are to initialize the thread local storage
               // variables in this call.
               if( BridgeUtility::getInstance() -> threadInitialize() != 0 ) {
                    returnValue = FALSE;
                    printf(" Thread initialize failed..\n");
               }else {
                    printf(" Thread initialize succed..\n");
                    returnValue = TRUE;
               break;
          case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
               // We are to uninitialize the thread local storage
               // variables in this call.
               if( BridgeUtility::getInstance() -> threadUninitialize() != 0 )
                    returnValue = FALSE;
               else
                    returnValue = TRUE;
               break;
          case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
               // We do not perform any uninitialization
               // within this section. Instead we have
               // chosen to use the JNI_OnUnload function
               // as the library initialization point.
               returnValue = TRUE;
               break;

If your aim is to load the library and initialize it
that one time, consider using the pthread once routines
to handle library initialization. See, for example,
chapter 5 of Butenhof's "Programming with POSIX
threads".

Problem with Syslog in Solaris 10

I have 2 hosts (both are actually Solaris 10 Zones). One has no issues with syslog and the other won't send its messages to our loghost. Both have the same /etc/syslog.conf files, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf files. The one works and the other just says in the /var/adm/messages files :

May 3 11:16:42 svanyc128 syslogd: line 39: WARNING: loghost could not be resolved
I can resolve the name loghost though with ping and nslookup and they're going to the correct IP. Does anyone have any other idea why these hosts don't behave the same?

Ah, one of the guys I work with figured it out. /etc/services file was messed up. It's working now. :)

Problems with oracle10 and solaris 10

Hello,
I been trying for 3 days to install and make oracle 10g work with solaris 10. I've downloaded oracle 10.1.0.2 (it's the only one available for solaris 64 bitS). I've followed every bit of documentation I found in this forum but still no go. I've read this thread and followed did what it says but still no go.
Oracle Database10g on Solaris 10
My questions are:
1. I've set the semsys and shmsys as instructed in the documentation, but when I run the installer and it comes to the checking kernel security paramters it says that I need to update the kernel system paramaters BIT_SIZE and noexec_user_stack. According to the docs that I've read, the noexec_user_stack is only for soalris versions up to 5.8, but just to test I added it to the kernel but I still get the same error. What gives? Where do I change the BIT_SIZE and what value should i put?
2. After ignoring these errors, and the installation has finished, I get this error on the console
Aug 1 18:19:18 db1 root: [ID 702911 user.alert] (Oracle CSSD will be run out of init)
Any assistance will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I've downloaded oracle 10.1.0.2 (it's the only one available for solaris 64 bitS).I hope you installing this on Solaris Sparc 64bit.
According to the docs that I've read, the noexec_user_stack is only for soalris versions up to 5.8noexec_user_stack was introduced in Solaris 7 and is valid for all >7 versions (9, 10 too)
Aug 1 18:19:18 db1 root: [ID 702911 user.alert] (Oracle CSSD will be run out of init)You could safely ignore this message

Problems with sudo on Solaris 8

Greetings all,
I am trying to set up user accounts with scripts that will restart services, should they fail. I am setting up the default shell as the script that I want to have run when they log in and at the completion it will kick them off. A nice secure way to get things going again without our network operations people getting their hands dirty.
I am attempting to use sudo for this and it keeps asking for a password even though I have put in the ALL=NOPASSWD tag in the sudoers file for this users entry. When I enter the users password it is not correct and when I enter root it is not correct and in the end it will not run the script. I need to somehow bypass this asking of a password and get sudo to run the command. This is to restart our SunOne messaging server and will likely be applied to various other processes.
Any suggestions are appreciated. I have checked the sudo site and checked the config.h from the compile and had no luck so it is not the shadow passwords issue that they list on their support site. I also tried to download and use the precompiled package that they had on SunFreeware, but that will not install on to any of these servers... can't get pkgadd to acknowledge it as a solaris package.
Thank you in advance!

Try to remove this disk from server and insert in again.
Then run devfsadm command.

Problems with rsh in solaris 8

I have tried to execute a command with "rsh", like a "prstat", and it works but if I execute a "snoop" command, I see that the machine that runs the command(rsh) lost information. There is packets from TCP that has been return (in some occasions partially), this provokes the application losts information.
Which can the problem be ?

OK, but the problem is not in C++. Your C++ code just invokes invokes the shell and remote operations, and returns the result. The local C++ program cannot cause or repair communication problems between machines.

Multi-Owner Diskset problem with SC3.1U4 & Solaris 10

Hi All,
My Problem is after configured the mulit-owner diskset of SVM. If either one node has been restarted/rebooted. The rebooted node can't join back to the diskset like below status. I have tried to use some metaset commands to put the rebooted node to join backed the diskset but failed.
After both nodes rebooted. Then I run "metaset" command on both nodes, the status seems can't synchronize. "See below status for detail"

Hi Tim/All,
I have party fixed the multi-owner diskset problem after create the resource for SUNW.rac_framework, SUNW.rac_udlm & SUNW.rac_svm. But the new problem is generated. The new problem is if two nodes are up, then the multi-owner diskset can be access via two nodes. But if either one node is down, the remain node can�t access the diskset (but the scstat status is fine). For example: node2 is down, node1 is up. Then multi-owner diskset membership of node1 is lost. If node1 is down, node2 is up. Then multi-owner diskset membership of node2 is lost. After both nodes become online, the diskset will resume to normal and can be access.

Problems with fpsetmask and SIGFPE

Hello,
I am trying to build a program that wants to do its own floating point exception handling. The developer has told me that on Sparc, using fpsetmask in ieeefp.h works. However, when I build it with the same instuctions on x86, I still get floating point exceptions. The author told me that he thought the problem was with fpsetmask in x86. Does anyone know if there are problems with this in Solaris 7 x86? Is there a fix? I searched the patches, but did not find anything. Thanks for your time.
Brian

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

Hi All,
I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
Thanks for your help.

Installation problems with Solaris 8 on Intel

Howdy,
I am having some problem with my installation of Solaris 8 on Intel. I am installing the system on a P133 (Asus TX97 motherboard). When I first start the installation and perform the system scan I get the following error:
The PnP ISA: IDE Controller programable device was unable to be programmed.
This could be caused by two possible reasons:
- Lack of resouces available
- There is a conflict with the following already-existing device: 8086,7111 - Bus Mastering IDE Controller
When I bring up the View/Edit device settings and I scroll to the IDE controller there is an ! mark beside the PCI IDE controller. The controler is specifying: Bus 0, device: 1, function: 1 port 1F0-1F7, 3F6, 170-177, 376, E000-E00F, 0 IRQ 14, 15
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this conflict? I tried removing the PCI IDE interface and then installing a ISA IDE interfact (for IRQ: 14, IRQ 15 automatically put a PnP IDE controller there). This seemed to resolve the conflict but then I received a: No Bootable devices have been found.
If anyone can help out with how to resolve the conflict, or what the No Bootable Devices have been found error it would be greatly appreciated.
Currently there is a partition set up with NT on it, but I wish to basically get rid of everything on the HD and install Solaris on it. FYI, when I check the HD's in NT it mentions I/0: 1F0-1F7 IRQ 14 and also I/O 170-177 IRQ 15.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

When I close down Solais in the CDE I am taken back to the logon screen
and I turn the PC off.Don't do that. If you simply turn off the PC, the OS has no chance to
write back cached / modified disk data back to the HDD - this is also the
reason why solaris has to check the filesystems on the next boot and apparently
has to repair filesystem defects.
What you have to do is shutdown the machine, before you can power it off.
Login as user "root" and use the command
init 5
or
halt
"init 5" will shutdown system services, by executing commands from
/etc/rc0.d/K* with argument "stop". Then it'll sync all modified disk blocks to
the HDD, kills all remaining processes and unmounts all filesystems. In this
state it's safe to power off the machine!
"halt" is a quick-and-dirty shutdown. It does not stop system services (the
/etc/rc0.d/K* commands are not run). But, it syncs all modified disk blocks
to the HDD, kills all processes and unmounts all filesystems. "init 5" is preferred,
especially if you have services like a database server running on the machine,
which needs to be cleanly shutdown. On the other hand, with a default solaris
installation and no extra services, a simple "halt" should be OK.
Btw. if multiple users are logged in on the machine, you should also have a look
at the shutdown(1M) command. "shutdown" sends warnings to the logged in
users that the machine is about to be shut down, ...

Problem with application directories on JDS - Solaris 10 11/06 sparc

I am running a fully patched JDS on a Sun Blade with Solaris 10 11/06 sparc.
After installing, removing, and re-installing Sun Download Manager 2.0 (web start version) I am having problems with JDS application menus.
I used File Manager (probably accessed through the This Computer Desktop icon) to move around directories under applications:///. This information is saved in ~/.gnome2/vfolders. Folders available from the Launch menu under Applications were all messed up, but I solved this problem by removing all contents of ~/.gnome2/vfolders and restarting JDS.
Now, when I enter the This Computer icon on the Desktop, and click on the Applications icon in there, there is an extra Applications icon there that is not associated with any application and cannot be removed (when I try and trash it, I get an error saying something about "not on same file system"). Also, when I enter the Internet folder under Applications, there is an extra Internet icon in there that also cannot be removed. These extra folders are not seen when accessing the Applications menu from the Launch menu. How can I clean up these "bad" launchers, or folders, or whatever they are, that appear to exist only under the Applications directory accessible through This Computer (computer:///)?
Thank you...

To Add a Menu Using Menu Files
To add a menu for all users, perform the following steps:
1. Create a directory entry file for the item that you want to add. Create the directory entry file in the /usr/share/gnome/vfolders directory. For more information about directory entry files, see Directory Entry Files.
2. Locate the vfolder information file for the location where you want to add the menu. For example, to add a menu to the Applications menu, locate the file /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info.
3. In the vfolder information file, add a <Folder> element for the new menu. For more information about vfolder information files, see Vfolders and Menus.
The next time users log in, the menu is in the assigned location.
