Q: /etc/dfs/dfstab entries ignored during system start

I am wondering why entries in the dfstab file are ignored during system start.
The situation is as following:
I have an old x86 system acting as my home server. This machine runs Solaris 10 6/06.
I have the following entry in /etc/dfs/dfstab on this machine:
share -F nfs -o sec=sys,[email protected],[email protected] -d "home dirs" /export/home
in order to automount my home dir from my Blade 2000.
But this doesn't work as expected. After rebooting the server there are no shares available. I have manually log in the server and issue a "shareall".
BTW the nfs server is enabled by default:
svcs -a | grep nfs/server
online 15:16:53 svc:/network/nfs/server:default
What is wrong?
Regards,
Andreas

I think you need to do more than just change the file. I think the share command will do it all for you.
After editing the file, I think you need to run
exportfs -a or
svcadm restart svc:/network/nfs/serverto make it see it.
or you can use the share command.
Like
share /optwhich will make the entry for you and enable it.

Mouse Freezes up during system start up

So I recently reformatted my hard drive and installed XP instead of Vista. I reinstalled all my drivers and updated my system but now I seem to be having a sporadic problem where maybe one out of every three system boots my mouse will freeze causing me to have to reboot. I tried reinstalling the mouse drivers and BIOS but that hasn't helped the problem. Any other advice?
Thanks.

Dfstab entries get invalidated on reboot in S10u6

Hello,
I have installed a Sparc workstation with the lastest Solaris release (Solaris 10 update 6: 10/2008) and with ZFS on all filesystems.
To share directories via NFS, I use the traditional way, i.e. the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.
In this file, I added entries similar to the following:
share -F nfs -d "home directories" /export/home
Enabling the NFS server service with:
svcadm enable nfs/server
works fine. The "share" command effectively displays the shared directories.
However, when rebooting the machine, the NFS server service becomes disabled and the /etc/dfs/dfstab file automatically gets modified with:
# Error: Syntax: share -F nfs -d "home directories" /export/home
By the way, this happens for every share and whether the NFS server service was previously enabled or not.
The modification date of the dfstab file indicates that the modification takes place during Solaris stop, not after the reboot.
Also, in Solaris 10 10/2008, the dfstab file starts with the following warning:
# Do not modify this file directly.
# Use the sharemgr(1m) command for all share management
# This file is reconstructed and only maintained for backward
# compatibility. Configuration lines could be lost.
However, the sharemgr utility is not present in this release.
So how does one enable persitent NFS shares in Solaris 10 10/2008, apart from using "zfs set sharenfs=..." ?

After performing some testing I have found the following: On a clean Solaris install the dfstab file works properly for sharing file systems over NFS. If you set any of the zfs file systems to sharenfs=on then the new file sharing system is activated and the dfstab file no longer functions in the traditional manner. The following message is prepended at the top of the /etc/dfs/dfstab file:
# Do not modify this file directly.
# Use the sharemgr(1m) command for all share management
# This file is reconstructed and only maintained for backward
# compatibility. Configuration lines could be lost.
If you see this message at the top of you dfstab file you know the new method of sharing is now in effect and your dfstab will no longer function in the traditional sense. It appears that several OS operations automatically generate and overwrite the dfstab file for backward compatibility. If you had entries in the dfstab file BEFORE your system switched to using the new file sharing system, those shares will remain in the dfstab file and will continue to work properly. If you add new shares to the dfstab file AFTER the system has switched to the new file sharing system then those entries will be commented out and the following text will prepend the entry:
# Error: Syntax:
An example would be:
# Error: Syntax: share -F nfs -o rw=bs1.sun.com /export/somefs
You can manually remove the comment and error message and save the changes to the dfstab file and then run shareall and it will work in the traditional sense. However, the lines will be commented out again the next time any OS operation is performed that overwrites the dfstab file.
I have found that rebooting the system overwrites the dfstab file. I was also told that creating or deleting a new pool or file system causes the dfstab to be overwritten also. I have not verified this but it seems logical that anytime an operation is performed that changes the configuration of the zfs pool that the dfstab file would be updated.
This document explains the changes to NFS file sharing and why they were made. After reading this it makes sense that the dfstab file no longer functions in the traditional sense. I only wish I would have been familiar with this before installing a new NFS server. We would like to go back to using old NFS sharing technology but I cannot find any way to go back after the OS switched to the new system. We have our reasons for wanting to use the traditional methods for NFS sharing, although they may not be as efficient as the new method.

PDB doesn't take underscore parameters during database start

Based on what you posted we can NOT tell WHAT database/PDB that last command is showing data for or what DBs are being started and opened.
A STARTUP command only starts/opens the root/CDB by default. It does NOT open ANY PDBs.
If you want PDBs to be opened at startup you need to create an AFTER STARTUP trigger to open them.
The code you posted shows a startup but does NOT show if the PDB is open and does NOT show that the current container is the PDB when you check that parameter.
Rerun your test and post ALL of the info needed that shows:
1. the PDB is actually being opened,
2. the current container is set to the PDB
3. the value of the parameter for that PDB
That is, AFTER you stop/restart the database use EXACTLY the same commands you used at the start: show the pdbs, change the container to the PDB and then show the parameter value.
Post the FULL results of doing ALL of that.

Solaris 8 Boot Problems, random messages [/etc/rcS: /etc/dfs/sharetab:]

Hello All,
I have all of a sudden developed issues with booting up one of my Solaris 8 [V240] Servers. Upon a routine reboot, I was faced with the following errors:

So I figured, Oh crap...the disk is messed up. However, on running a few scans, i.e. 'iostat -En' showed ALL errors to be '0'. In addition, I ran the format -> analyze -> read test which ran for about 10 or so hours and came back saying 0 errors found to be repaired. So it appears nothing particularly is wrong with my hardware. After the 2nd reboot, I didn't get the errors above anymore but now I can't seem to get past the single-user mode. I get the following errors.

I have read a whole bunch of stuff as I found on google, like /var being full (it's not), the WWN being wrong as compared between vfstab, /dev, and /devices directory etc. I don't know what is wrong and I don't know what to do to fix this. Any ideas as to why this happened and what I can do?
PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi Darren,
thanks again for the response. Ok, so the question that I have right now is how do I fix my original issue pasted below:
mount: the state of /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 is not okay
and it was attempted to be mounted read/write
mount: Please run fsck and try again
/sbin/rcS: /etc/dfs/sharetab: cannot create

INIT: Cannot create /var/adm/utmpx
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "
INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" "
INIT: SINGLE USER MODEWill running fsck fix this too? This is a critical machine and I need to bring it up during worktime in the eastern part of the world. This server has worked totally fine for over 180 days with the invalid filesystem and the inability to run fsck. Any ideas on how to fix the errors above?
Also
Yes. It needs to be at least the size of the filesystem, which you've reported to be 143349312 sectors. There's no easy way to shrink a UFS filesystem.Does this mean that that I have to re-create the partitions/layout of the disk and reinstall the OS and applications? Is there any way to re-layout without destroying the data?
Thanks

Hello,
I take you mean you have a JMS queue created in an Oracle database (A) and you want to propagate messages to a JMS queue create in an Oracle database (B)?
If that is the case you use normal AQ propagation. You can follow <Note:102771.1> as an example changing the ADT as appropriate, etc.
MGW is only to be used for Oracle to 3rd-party propagation.

Clearing of GR/IR Account for initial stock entry into the system

Hi All,
We MM team did some initial stock entry into the system using MVT TYPE 561 in migo transaction. But in the FI, When GR/IR clearing account was checked, these entry's caused by the initial stock entry are not cleared. when tried to clear It gives a message saying this cannot be manually cleared.Do any of you know what should be done in this case?

I have one more Questiion, in my company there is some amount that is not balancing. We feel that is due to the initial stock entry of the Materials is there a way to view what was the value stock on a particular date by particular movement type, we have transaction in MM but that does not give the currency, in the currency column it says $0.00.

How to solve this "Prefix number: entry missing for system EC5 client 800"

Hi,
I am workflow learner, I am having theoretical knowledge on it.
Now, I started to practice practically in my IDES server.
I am getting an error message while I am trying to save my standard task with my object type and method and event (which were already created in SWO1).
My error message details.....
Prefix number: entry missing for system EC5 client 800
Message no. 5W023
Diagnosis
Tasks, rules, and workflow definitions require an ID that is unique throughout all systems and clients. In this way, you can ensure that you can transport these objects from one system into another at any time (without restrictions). From a technical point of view, the uniqueness of the ID is ensured by what is known as a "prefix number". You can define a separate prefix number for every system and every client in table T78NR.
System response
If a prefix number is not defined in the client in which you are currently working, it is not possible to maintain (maintenance terminates).
Even I tried to create on entry in the table T78NR, but as that is standard table, I am unable to make an entry.
Hope we have to configure the workflow, I am not having any Basis consultant with me. Can anyone help to cross this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Surender Batlanki.

No Logical System Entry in Business System

When I will send an IDOC from XI to a target R/3 system, I am getting an error "Unable to convert the sender service to an ALE logical system "
I checked the threads and the problem seems to be, that there is no Logical System recognised by the Business System.
I'll checked the logical System in the Technical System in SLD, and it is there.
I checked SALE, and the entry is in the systems.
But when I go to the Integration Directory and check System-->Adapter Specific Informations, I see an empty entry for "Logical System". The field stays un-editable and when I hit the "Sync with SLD" button, nothing happens.
Any idea, how to either enter the logical system or make it recognise the SLD entry?
Thanks for any hints, points will surely be awarded

Error during system copy

Hello Experts,
                           I am doing a heterogeneous copy. During the Start Instance phase of the copy the instance fails to start. The services are started, the DB is up too, everything looks fine but still copy is not continuing. Here are my findings.
Below is the response of niping -v

Just for completion: You need to have a certified migration consultant on-site to do heterogeneous migration, otherwise you'll loose SAP support for the target system (see http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).

This seems to be an OS specific IPC shared memory configuration issue.
What OS do you use?

Error: Prefix number: entry missing for system REP client 113 Msg no 5W023

Hi, we're trying to study Workflow based on the manuals we downloaded online. Upon saving, we encountered the error: Error: Prefix number: entry missing for system REP client 113 Msg no 5W023.
Here's the diagnosis:
Diagnosis
Tasks, rules, and workflow definitions require an ID that is unique throughout all systems and clients. In this way, you can ensure that you can transport these objects from one system into another at any time (without restrictions). From a technical point of view, the uniqueness of the ID is ensured by what is known as a "prefix number". You can define a separate prefix number for every system and every client in table T78NR.
System Response
If a prefix number is not defined in the client in which you are currently working, it is not possible to maintain (maintenance terminates).
Procedure
Maintain table T78NR in Customizing, and create an entry for the system in question and the current client.
Hope somebody can help me understand what this is.. thanks so much and appreciate your help..
Thanks,
Angela Paula

Hi Angela,
Please check if the Prefix number is maintained in SWU3 t-code.
Go to Maintain Definition Environment -> Maintain Prefix Numbers and check if the prefix number is maintained.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

Attach CSV volumes from filter driver during system startup

Hi,
We have written a filter driver to track Hyper-V CSV volumes in order to track the modifications in those volumes for backup purpose. When the Hyper-V host is running, we are able to attach the CSV volumes from the driver without any issues. But during Hyper-V
host startup, our driver failed to attach the csv volumes.
We suspect that filter driver failed to attach CSV volume, since Cluster service was not started at that point of time during the system start up. If we attach the CSV volume later, it works. However, for the continuos tracking we want our driver
to track the modifications from the system startup itself. I believe, we need to load the filter driver once after the csv service is started.
Configurations of filter driver are as following(inf file).
DisplayName = %ServiceName%
Description = %ServiceDescription%
ServiceBinary = %12%\%DriverName%.sys ;%windir%\system32\drivers\
Dependencies = FltMgr
ServiceType = 2 ;SERVICE_FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER
StartType = 2 ;SERVICE_SYSTEM_START
ErrorControl = 1 ;SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL
LoadOrderGroup = "FSFilter Activity Monitor"
AddReg = Minispy.AddRegistry
;Instances specific information.
DefaultInstance = "Minispy - Top Instance"
Instance1.Name = "Minispy - Middle Instance"
Instance1.Altitude = "370000"
Instance1.Flags = 0x1 ; Suppress automatic attachments
Instance2.Name = "Minispy - Bottom Instance"
Instance2.Altitude = "361000"
Instance2.Flags = 0x1 ; Suppress automatic attachments
Instance3.Name = "Minispy - Top Instance"
Instance3.Altitude = "385100"
Instance3.Flags = 0x1 ; Suppress automatic attachment
Can you please let us know how to fix this issue? Whether we need to change any configuration in inf file?
For Online backup use StoreGrid. Its really cool
