Question on Sun X series [x86/AMD64] Server hardware robustness

We have in the past used Sun SPARC based servers, ranging from E420R to E4500.
When a CPU or Memory module has failed on these, the system notes it and continues running until we can get a replacement and bring the system down gracefully during a maintenance window.
I know that x86 wasn't really designed for that kind of robustness. So, my question is, on the new AMD/Intel based servers, specifically the X4100M2, X4200M2 and the new X4450, what will they do if a CPU or RAM chip fails completely? Especially on the AMD servers, since the memory controller is built into the CPU.
Will they lock up like most x86 boxes, or has Sun managed to design a robust x86 system?
Thanks!

Hi Folks,
I have couple of newbie questions ..
a) Can I Install Workgroup Server mode on X86 with 1 CPU ?
b) I registered with sun to get a 60 day evaluation license. How long does it usually take for getting it?

Any equivalent for "Oracle9i Database: Seminar Series for Oracle Server"?

Dear all
I'm interesting on the Oracle course named "Oracle9i Database: Seminar Series for Oracle Server" - [D16665GC10|http://education.oracle.co.uk/html/oracle/68US/D16665GC10.htm]
AFAIK as Oracle 9i is unsupported, I don't belive that I can find this course available anywhere. So my question is: "Is there any equivalent for above course for 10g/11g?"
Thanks in advance

Yes, those are excellent materials. A lot of the material is covered in the DBA 1 & 2 courses, but not as focused and not as 'in depth'. I encourage that you write directly to Oracle University and ask them to upgrade the seminar. (Tell them I'd be happy to update/deliver it. ;-))
An alternative, and possibly even better, is to watch for (or ask for) a local presentation by Jonathan Lewis and/or Cary Millsap (Method R)

Please help me, how can I install sun solaris 9 x86 on my HP E-Vectra PC.

I had similar problems several months ago. I suspect this happens when host pc does not have floppy drive(or bios somehow misreports it) as it was in my case. Solaris 8 seems to work fine in the same environment, so I keep using it for now. Possible workaround might be to use DCA from Solaris 8: Installation of Sol9 started just fine after I entered Sol8 DCA and asked it to boot from Sol9 CD.
Hope this problem will be fixed in subsequent Sol9 releases.

Crystal Reports XI and Sun One 6.1 web server SP 5 Error finding JNDI name

I am trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report in a JSP using Sun One 6.1 Web server sp 5.
At this point I am getting the error �Error finding JNDI name� on Sun One
The application will run on Netbeans/Tomcat
I have done the following:

I created a report using JDBC (JNDI) connection and have the JNDI Connection set to the name of DATA.

I can't link to an I series (IBM AS400) server from my sql server 2014 server (64 bit) -- but yes can link on sql server 2005 (32 bit)

I have an I series (IBM AS400) server linked "OK" to a sql 2005 sql server (32 big). I copied the link script (but changed credentials) from the sql server 2005 link and attempted to run it in the sql server 2014 server (on win 7 64
bit). There are no complaints from SSMS when I run the script, but when I try to query a table I get this error message:

Thank you for this reply. I went to the link and selected the option for DB2s and ran the install. Then I started up SSMS. I copied the same script as above, and it executed successfully. But when I try to run a query against
a table in a database on this linked sever -- I get this error message:
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "CWMPDTA" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "CWMPDTA" returned message "[IBM][System i Access ODBC Driver]Key value in connection string too long.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 8
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "CWMPDTA".
Do I need to change the line containing -- @provider=N'MSDASQL', maybe?
this is the query I'm running:
select TOP 10 * from CWMPDTA.T9S.CWMPDTA.INSKU
The same exact query runs fine on the sql server 2005 linked server. Is there something I need to configure?

Sun Java System Web Proxy Server (4.0.2) - manage server will not start

In short here's the scenario and main problem.
a. Proxy admin server start - no problem
b. Create a new manage server (no proxying - just testing it) using different port. It just won't start. No logs produced either.
Here's the server.xml for the new manage server.

Nothing seems to be wrong with this. The XML format follows the specified DTD.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Yes. This is really odd.
Anyway to make the whole story short, i uninstall this proxy server 4.0.2 on this server (say server1) and try to reinstall a new proxy 4.0.13 but having odd problem (i have administration rights)
Here it goes.
a. CMD java -version is 1.4.2_XX
b. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe - nothing happen.
c. CMD setup --javahome c:\jdk1.6_XX - nothing happen
Here retrying.
a. Login to server2 and map conection to server1
b. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe on server1 (while on server2) - setup.exe runs. This proves the proxy setup.exe on server1 is good.
c. Make a copy of proxy 4.0.13 on server2
d. Login to server1 and map connection to server2
e. Double click the proxy 4.0.13 setup.exe on server2 (while on server1) - setup.exe did not run.
Both servers are on the same domain and i'm using same ID to access both servers
Again, no logs on the windows events (security, application, system)
This is becoming mind a boggling mystery.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks.

How to see console output in Sun Java(TM) System Web Server 6.1 SP7?

Dear All,
I am having Sun Java(TM) System Web Server 6.1 SP7 installed on Windows 2000 Prof.
I have deployed few applications and they were running successfully.
From debugging point of view, i like to see the output from System.out.println .
Prior to SP7 there is a console which shows this output. But now the batch files only starts and stops the admin and site server services. Where to see for console output?
Is there command like tail.exe of Weblogic awailable for Sun Java System Web Server or any setting to be done in Admin?
Please revert.

What EBS performance gains can I expect moving non-x86 (sun?) to x86?

Hi,
I was hoping some of you would please share any general performance gains you encountered by moving your EBS from non-x86 to x86. I'm familiar with the benchmarks from tpc.org and spec.org. The users however measure performance on how long it takes for a request to complete. For example, when we moved from our EBS from a two node sun E3500 (4*450 sparc II 8GB memory) to a two node v440 (4*1.28ghz sparc IIIi 8GB memory), performance doubled accross the board with a three year pay back.
I am trying to 'guesstimate' what performance increase we might encounter, if any, moving from sun sparc to x86. We'll be doing our first dev/test migration the first half of '08, but I thought I'd get a reading from all of you about what to expect.
Right now we're planning on going with a single-node, 6 cpu dual core 3Ghz x86, 16GB ram. The storage is external RAID 10. We process approximately 1000 payroll checks bi-weekly. Our 'Payroll Process' takes 30min to complete. Similarly, 'Deposit Advice' takes about 30min to complete. Our EBS database is a tiny 200GB, we have a mere 80 concurrent users, and we run HRMS, PAY, PA, GL, FA, AP, AR, PO, OTL, Discoverer.
Thanks for your feedback. These forums are great.

Markus and David,
First let me thank you for your posts. :-).
Markus:
Thank you for the tip. However, I usually do installations with a domain adm user. It does a lot of user switching, yes, but then it only switches to users created by SAPINST, that is most of the time it is switching to <sid>adm, which sounds perfect. At the time of my post I had been setting some environment variables so as to try to get the procedure to distribute the various pieces and bits (saparch, sapbackup, saptrace, origlogs and mirror logs, datafiles, etc. exactly where I wanted them and not where the procedure wants them) so I ended up by using <sid>adm to perform the DB instance installation and not the domain adm user I had installed CI with (I forgot to change back). When I noticed I figured it wouldn't make a difference since it usually switches to <sid>adm anyway. However, for the next attempts I settled on ny initially created dom adm user and no change to the results. OracleService<SID> usually logs on as a system account so the issue doesn't arise, I think.

David:
The brackets did it. Thank you so much. It went further and only crashed later, I don't usually potter around sdn, so I'm not familiar with the workings of this, I don't know how to reply separately to the posts and I don't know how to include a properly formatted post (I've seen the Plain Text help but I hate to bother with sidetrack details) so I apologize to all for the probably-too-compact jumble that will come out when I post this. I am now looking at the following problem (same migration to 64) so I fear I may have to close this post and get back with a new one if I can't solve this next issue.

I see that you know so much about Sun Java System Messaging staff. I've been using Messaging Server for over 8 years in various roles so I have a good head-start.
from where you learned all these i like to expert in this area but i dont know from where i have to start.The Messaging Server admin guide is the best place to start:

I vaguely remember that there was a Messaging Server bug that
caused it to fail because JavaMail was sending it two packets
containing the data but it was expecting all the data to be in one
packet. I thought JavaMail was fixed to send it one packet, to
avoid the bug, and I thought the server was fixed as well so be
sure to check for relevant patches. And be sure you're using the
latest version of JavaMail.
If I remember correctly, telnet was batching the data for the entire
line and sending it in a single packet, which is why it worked when
using telnet.
You might try a network protocol analyzer (sniffer) like snoop on
Solaris or tcpdump on Linux to see exactly what packets are being
sent.

Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-0.15 outgoing mail issue

Hi,
We are running Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-0.15 (built Feb 9 2007).
with this java code if i change email.setFrom(SenderEmial);   to any other email address than the mail server will send email form that email instead of authenticated which is a problem for us so that any one can misuse it. i need help regarding this issue.I think its due to lack of SSL security so i want to know that how i can enable SSL.
Email email = new SimpleEmail();
    email.setSmtpPort(25);
    email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator("[email protected]","myPass"));
    email.setDebug(false);
    email.setHostName("mail.sunjavamail.com");
    email.setFrom(SenderEmial); //By changing this my mail server is sending emails from any email address.
    email.setSubject("Hi");
    email.setMsg("Test Mail");
    email.addTo("[email protected]");
      // email.setTLS(true);
   // email.setSSL(true);
    email.send();
    System.out.println("Done");
Thanks..

Hi,
I do not think this is unusual. Out of the box there are no restrictions on From: addresses, they're not required to match the domain of the sender or match up with DNS results. You can configure various restrictions or even modify the from address based on the users authenticated credentials, but not by default.
See the following documentation for details on restricting From: addresses:

Question on UCS C series

Hello,
I have a question regarding the C series UCS.Is it possible as of now to connect it to the 6120 fabric manager and manage it from there like the blade series. Or are they only manageable through their CIMC port.
Deep.

With the current 1.3.x code this is not possible. This feature will be available in 1.4 which is just undergoing QA and should be available in the next month.

Server hardware confusion with 32 bit and 64 bit

Hi,
I am very new to this oracle, and I have a doubt which is very stupid, please help me out here, I have been working for installing Retail, so I have to integrate the EBS with Retail, which I got the documents for, there it says we need OEL x86_64..
My questions are
1. Can we install OEL x86_64 in 32 bit server hardware?
2. If we can install it, can we install 32-bit EBS staged files in that OS
3. Also do I need 64 bit server hardware in order to achieve my goal?
4. Also can anyone suggest good links for finding server hardware’s where can I look into building just for EBS single node..
Thanks in advance
Love this Forum and your helps that you all given me so far.. :-)

Hi,
AFAIK:
1. Can we install OEL x86_64 in 32 bit server hardware? No, you cannot.
2. If we can install it, can we install 32-bit EBS staged files in that OSYou can Install 32-bit of software's on 64-bit machines, but you cannot Install 64-bit software's on 32-bit machines.
Although, its not recommended to Install 32-bit software's on 64-bit machines. Install sw same as Hw architecture.
3. Also do I need 64 bit server hardware in order to achieve my goal?Check with oracle there should be 32-bit software available for this.
4. Also can anyone suggest good links for finding server hardware’s where can I look into building just for EBS single node..http://www.oracle.com
thanks,

Migrating a Sun Cluster Running Oracle to New Hardware

Has anyone attempted this? Essentially we are moving a Sun Cluster from one location to hardware at another location while maintaining the same node names. From what I can tell, I need to (on an install lan):
1) Load the OS
2) Configure the IPs
3) Install Sun Cluster
4) Install Oracle Parallel Server/RAC
5) Restore the data on a per node basis
6) Restore the shared data
7) Adjust, tweak, and run
Are there any pitfalls or suggestions on the approach? The shop is relatively new to clustering much less oracle clustering and the original cluster was installed by admins gone bye.

I would say that Apple should be able to update your 36-months maintenance agreement with a OSXS 10.4 serial number.
As far as I know, the structure of 10.3 and 10.4 serial numbers is different (wasn't the case between 10.2 and 10.3) so I'm short of a technical answer here.
Maybe you could try :
/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber xxxx-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
in a Terminal window on the server. It's theorically the same as using Server Admin but maybe this could help.
