RAM requirement for solaris 10

I just had an Ultra 5 given to me, and I wanted to install Solaris 10 on it. But now it seems 128 MB of ram isn't enough for the install?? With the cost of sun ram, its hardly even worth trying to upgrade it. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it installed? Is there any kind of off the shelf ram compatible with it?

I have it on a few servers with less than 200 MB RAM,
and it works really well.
One thing to keep in mind though is that its a quite
bad idea to try and run Java Desktop or Gnome when
you only have 128 MB of RAM, you should try and
download a small/flexible window manager such as
fvwm2 instead. Thats what i do on my laptop (which
has 192 MB RAM).
.7/M.What about CDE with 256 MB RAM?
OpenSUSE 10.2 runs GNOME responsively with 256 MB RAM?
I have another issue with the install - it doesn't even start up on my 256 MB system.
I'll try the nowin option and see what it does.
I let it run all night and it didn't start up.
Bad karma when you're replacing a working Linux installation.

Hardware requirement for Solaris 10

Hi,
Im seeing different requirement for memory when installing Solaris 10, and i was wondering if the following is correct:
Minimum:64
Need for GUI: 256
So is it correct that you can install solaris 10 on a sparc og x86 with 64mb ? i guess it is only text then....
Ole

Hi,
The minimum requirements are:
# Minimum of 256 MB of physical RAM (or 512 MB for PXE booting)
# Minimum of 2 GB of available hard drive space
There are more details available at:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/specs.jsp
Take a look at the Hardware Compatability Link at the above link to check if the x86 system that you are using is supported, and what its individual requirements are.
Hope this helps

RAM required for Lion

I have a macBook Air 11" built in 2010. It has 2 mb RAM. Is there any problems running Lion with this configuration. If yes, can you upgrade to more RAM.

Ram is soldered to logic board so it cannot be upgraded.
This page lists the system requirements for lion. It says MBA 2008 or later so, yes, you can run lion on it.

Is There a minimum cpu speed an Ram requirement for Nano

I use xp pro and want to know if Nano has a cpu/ram requirement.
thanks, Ken

I don't think that the nano itself, or any other iPod for that matter, has a requirement from the computer that has iTunes other than the type of cable used to connect the iPod to your computer (USB, Firewire), and perhaps what version of the OS you have.
The only requirements CPU/RAM requirements you should adhere to are the ones that are required of iTunes. The requirements for Windows are as follows:
Windows XP or 2000 (latest service packs recommended)
500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
QuickTime 7.0.4 (included)
256MB RAM
Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
Additional Video Requirements
1.5 GHz Pentium class processor or better
32MB video RAM
The Requirements for the iPod Nano are as follows:
PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Also - it might be more helpful, for yourself and for other users, if you were to post this inquiry in the Windows section of iTunes.

Reg:- RAM Upgrade for Solaris v480

Hi All,
Thanks in Advance for sorting this out.
We have 5 Solaris servers on Solaris 9 & 4 CPU's in a cluster. We currently have 48 GB RAM in all the servers. We are planning to upgrade the servers to108 GB RAM.
The below mentioned is the configuration of the servers. Please update on the upcoming RAM.
CPU Current RAM Upcoming RAM
480 8
480 8
490 16
440 8
440 8
Is there any maximum RAM limit set for the Solaris servers.
Please Advice. Quick Response is Appreciated.

I think you're a little confused as to what you already have - but here's what you can actually have in each system...
V480 - max 4 CPU (dual core = 8 cores, not 8 CPUs)
Memory
8 memory slots (DIMMs) per processor, 16 total slots per CPU/Memory Board
256-MB, 512-MB, or 1-GB expansion (16GB maximum per CPU/Memory board, 32GB maximum when configured with 4 processors)
Note: Install DIMMs in groups of four. 1050MHz & faster CPU/Memory boards require that all memory DIMM slots be fully populated.
V490 - Max 4 CPU (dual core = 8 cores, not 8 CPUs)
8 memory slots (DIMMs) per processor, 16 total slots per CPU/Memory Board
512MB, 1GB, or 2GB expansion (32GB maximum per CPU/Memory board, 64GB maximum when configured with 4 processors)
All memory DIMM slots must be fully populated.
Hope that all helps - you can find the hardware specificatoins for each server at http://sunsolve.sun.com/ under the http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/SunFireV480/spec and http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/SunFireV490/spec

CONTROL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR SOLARIS 10 INSTALLATION

Hello, I wish to use the OPEN SOURCE version of Solaris 10 and I whether, as I read in the network, there is a software that allows me to
check whether the system requirements of my PC support the installation of Solaris 10 and if all the devices on my PC support, without any updating drivers, this installation.
Also, if possible I would like the link that allows me to download this software.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Sincerely.
PELO.

Minimum Router's RAM requirement for Cisco CME

Hi,
Does anyone ever try to use below 1 GB RAM when installing CME for router 29XX? I know that Cisco recommend to use 1 GB RAM. I just want to know, what problem we will may face, if we implement CME with 2921 router for 50 users with default RAM (512 MB).

Hello,
As you mentioned; for 2911 routers the recommended is to use 1 GB of RAM as per the link below:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/requirements/guide/cme105spc.html
As you also going to deploy it with its maximum ip phones that can support, I'd highly recommend you to use 1 GB. If you use 512 RAM, you may fall into performance issues and your setup will not be supported by Cisco TAC.
Thank you,
Shadi

Patch Requirements For Solaris 10 x86_64 (10/08)

Hello All;
We are about to begin testing the use of installing SAP Netweaver onto Solaris 10 x86 (10/08). I have seen SAP Note 908334 and it describes use of a prior older version of Solaris 10 x86 (01/06). Can anyone tell me if newer versions of the patches described in this SAP note are included or need to be added later?
Many Thanks
David L. Black

You can check using
showrev -p | grep <patchnumer>
if the patch is already installed. Most likely this is the case for the version you use so there's no need to update any patches.
However, it's always a good idea to keep the system up-to-date, especially if you plan to use ZFS as filesystem.
I use "pca" to update our systems (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/) - much easier to handle than "Solaris Update connection" - and fewer problems.

RAM requirement for iFS

If I do not want to use all protocol servers,
how much RAM would require to run Oracle database and iFS on same machine.
Documentation states 512MB RAM is required,
if you want to use all protocol servers.

Satheesh,
Assuming you are running iFS + web server and db on the same machine, 256 MB RAM is sufficient. I had set this up on a 256 MB machine and it is okay...
cheers

Set me straight on RAM requirements for 8 core

I have been hearing you need 1gb ram for each core. Or at least that's what people are recommending. Isn't 8gb a little overkill?
I'm going to do HD editing. I would think 4gb ram would be pretty good. Of course, I realize more is always better, but is 8gb really necessary?
Feel free to chime in, but I suppose we will find out when the 8 core's are shipping and what Leapard/FCP will bring us in the next few months.

"Phil, do me a favor... PLEASE... check your page ins/outs and try running your machine a little harder and you tell me if you see a difference when you do get your RAM... "
Of course I'll see a difference. I EXPECT to see a difference, that's the point. But where you and I differ, is that you're expecting the upgrades to make your machine more stable. Mine is already stable - the only thing I'm expecting is increased performance. I'm sure page outs won't be completely eliminated, but they'll be much, much more reasonable that what they are now. I also use a G5 Quad with 8 gigs of RAM and rarely are the page outs "zero". However, even with them about 5-20%, the Quad doesn't skip a beat.
"Mr. Shockley only has 2 GB of memory, but I bet he can go to dinner and come back by the time his workflow has completed."
Well, not quite that long but sure - the limited RAM I now have is causing tasks to take longer than needed. (I've developed a serious hatred for the sounds of disk access!) But while they take longer, the tasks DO get completed. Keep in mind I use several apps in Rosetta, including Photoshop CS3.
"Uh oh, I ordered my Ram before I knew it used different chips."
It wouldn't hurt to call but I don't think I'd worry about it. The 8-core blurb probably just means the new part numbers reflect what Apple has tested. None of the third party RAM vendors/companies are showing a "specific" module for the 8-core. (Even before the 8-core machines, Apple would never publicly say third party RAM was "compatible".)
Apple also says the same thing in the blurb about hard drives. I can't imagine one SATA hard drive is compatible while another is not.
Their term, "qualified" means they've tested the part.

Hard disk / RAM requirement for Oracle RAC

I'm using the following configuration for RAC
Oracle 10gR2
VMware Server
Host Server - Linux CentOS
Two Guest Servers - Linux CentOS
Now I'm trying with Pentium 4 and 1 GB RAM. But it is very slow and even hard to finish full RAC step.
What is the best hard disk / RAM configuration to support above specs?
Kindly advise me.
Thanks
Karti

i am using 3 gb RAM, 160 GB hard disk, intel Due core processor. Its working fine for 10gR2 same as you mentioned os & oracle version.
i dont know the minimum RAM Size, but i have seen tarry singh's RAC installation DEMO in dbasupport site with 2 GB RAM size.
so you need atleast 2 GB RAM. Minimum 1 GB for each guest OS.
i am new to RAC. wait for expert's reply.

What packages are required for an 11.2.0.3 install on Solaris 11?

Where can I find information on which packages are required to install Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Solaris 11?
The documentation only mentions Solaris 10. I tracked down the packages required for Solaris 10, and most of them are either included in the GA release of 11 or obsoleted.
There are however a couple of packages that are missing from the base install of Solaris 11:
SUNWarc (renamed to):
     * consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation (installed)
     * developer/library/lint (missing)
SUNWhea (renamed to):
     * consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporation (installed)
     * system/header (misising)
So it looks like developer/library/lint and system/header are packages from required for Solaris 10 that are missing on 11. The installer however doesn't check for any packages whatsoever.
Does that mean it's safe to install the database?
Edited by: 894946 on Nov 21, 2011 8:38 AM

Here is list of packages you need in order to install Oracle 11gR2 on Solaris 11:
SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibms SUNWpool SUNWpoolr SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWlibm SUNWuiu8 SUNWfont-xorg-core SUNWfont-xorg-iso8859-1 SUNWmfrun SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwplt
Some of the above are installed by default which you can find by:
pkginfo -i SUNWarc SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibms SUNWpool SUNWpoolr SUNWsprot SUNWtoo SUNWlibm SUNWuiu8 SUNWfont-xorg-core SUNWfont-xorg-iso8859-1 SUNWmfrun SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs SUNWxwfsw SUNWxwplt
I believe you will only have to install the following:
pkg install compatibility/packages/SUNWxwplt SUNWarc SUNWhea SUNWxorg-client-programs SUNWxorg-clientlibs
Cheers

I have a solaris server with 16gb of RAM that will subsequently be zoned into three zones to support three separate database instances, one for each zone. Given that physically there is only 16Gb of ram, It is my understanding and experience that I should have 1.5-2 * 4Gb should be at least 6Gb of SWAP per Local Zone.
Please advise. ThanksI'd look at it like this .....
Your Phyiscal Memory will be used somewhat as follows:-
- Lets say 1GB for the OS ...
- 1.5GB for zfs arc cahce if your useing ZFS.
- The sum of your PGAs and SGA's should fit within the remainder of ram.
- And your may want a little more to be sure and for other things; monitroting software agents, em etc.
In order that you can use more virtual memoy than you have physical memory for your will porably want to add a swap file, and for a 16GB machine this would probably be 4 / 8 or perhaps up to 16GB depending if would will occasionally have higher virutal memory demands or if poeple but big files in /tmp. In general swap -s can be used to monitor a shortage, though it can foolled if zfs_arc_cache is not limited.
The situation for zones not different unless you are using zone.max-swap and the physical capped memory.
If you have zone with a physical capped memory of 5GB, and a zone.max-swap of 8GB with is af the zone has a swapfile of 3GB; and you have to make sure:
- The global zone is able to give that amount of memory to the non-global zone.
- The global zone can provider the zone.max.swap from its virutal memory.
- That the sga+pga and /tmp usage and other will fit in zone.max-swap ... use swap -s in the zone to monitor.
