Reconfigure reboot for Solaris 10 u5 x86 guest in VirtualBox
Hello,
I just installed the new kernal patch into a Solaris 10 u5 x86 32-bit guest OS in VirtualBox 2.0.4 on a WinXP 32-bit host. I need to do a reconfigure reboot. I can't seem to get to the ok prompt from which to use boot -r. init 0 does not work, it only offers a "push any key to reboot."
What is the optimal way to initiate a reconfigure reboot for Solaris 10 in my setup?
I tried the grub-based technique in which, upon reboot, I get the grub menu and push "e." That gets me to another grub screen with 3 entries. I selected the kernal entry, pushed "c" to add "-r" to the end of the line, and then "b" to reboot. Is that the best way to reconfigure reboot for Sol 10 x86.
The above method did configure devices on reboot, but I'm not sure that is the best way to boot -r
Thank you in advance...
x86 machines (including virtual machines) do not have an OBP or an 'ok' prompt.
You have to manipulate the GRUB either through interactive commands like you've shown, or by editing the menu.lst file to change boot parameters.
Of course for reconfiguration, you also have the option of touching '/reconfigure' and doing a normal reboot.

Mod_jk2 package for Solaris 10 x86
I need a mod_jk2 package for Solaris 10 x86 so it will be part of my installation, thus build is not good enough. Can anyone help?
OrenCreator is now integrated into NetBeans. Download the Java + EE
distribution of the NetBeans 6.1 release from netbeans.org.
When you create a project, you will be led through a series of panels,
where the last is Frameworks. Select the "Visual Web JavaServer Faces"
framework. You will be familiar with the rest, and of course it will
work on solarisx86.
Have fun!

Boot image for Solaris 8 x86?
Does anyone know where I can download the image for the boot floppy for Solaris 8 x86?
Mine got corrupted, and since System Commander 2000 doesn't recognize the partition, that and the CD are the only ways I can boot the system.
Thanks in advance,

pbflores@"REMOVETHIS"usa.netAre you considering any particular cards ?
I have had good luck with DEC21040 (10baseT) and DEC21140 (100baseT) cards
in Solaris 7 through Solaris 10 on x86.
The same can be said for 3Com 3C905C-TX cards.
Solaris 8x86 will recognize many chipsets natively,
and a number of third party developers have created working driver packages.
Most of their driver packages are free, but a few are not free.
Solaris 9 works with a few more, and Solaris 10 works with yet more adapters.
The Solaris 8x86 HCL list has the native cards.
This other Sun web page can direct you toward 3rd party sites. -
Where to obtain Update 3 for Solaris 10 x86
Hello all,
For some reason my smpatch is broken and won't download patches. I need to locate Update 3 for Solaris 10 x86 but with all the new changes to the website I'm completely lost and can't seem to find the download link.
Can anyone help out?
Thanks,
RobHi
google "download solaris", first hit, at the bottom of the page "Looking for prior versions of Oracle Solaris?"
Here it says
"Note 1: Previous versions of Solaris 10 are no longer necessary as the latest release includes support for all Solaris 10 supported platforms and includes important enhancements not found in earlier releases."
and "Solaris 10 10/08" (aka Update 6) is the oldest available.
Note that you now need a support contract to access all patches except for patches to the "Oracle Solaris" compiler (if installed) and to the patch system.

Last kernel patch for Solaris 10 x86 screwed up my kernel
Hi,
The last kernel patch for Solaris 10 x86 (sorry I can�t remember the patch id, but the revision is 30), available from Sun Update Manager screwed up my system.
The system is still booting but in maintenance mode: smf can't start because of repository corrupted. Given instructions to restore the repository does not work because / filesystem is mounted read-only...
As I am not a solaris expert, I will reinstall it from CD. I hope I won't loose the filesystem.
I was used to blindly trust Sun solaris patches, that was a mistake.
Laurent.i dont know why but still i do get default log in into the single mode
after startup
Requesting maintenance mode
(See /lib/svc/share/README for aditional information. )
Root password for system maintenance (control-d to bypass):i did removed the patch installed before so now

Kernel patch update for solaris 10 x86
I have Solaris 10 06/06 installed on x86 machine which is using svm and clustered with another node. The kernel revision is 118855-19 from the uname -a output. I am looking for the kernel patch updation and I heard 118855-36 is the latest one. Shall I go ahead with this patch and what r the dependency patches for this.
If anyone done this please suggest and guide me..For Solaris 10 x86 the latest offered with smpatch is 125101-07 and yes it may be recommended to patch. Then again you said clustered with sun cluster? You may want to check the documentation and if your machines aren't facing the internet you may wait for 7/07 to hit the street and do an upgrade.

JRock Kit for Solaris 10 x86/x64
Hi,
Why don't exist a Jrock Kit distribution for
Solaris 10 x86/x64?
I have Bea 8.1, 9.2 for Solaris 10
x86/x64 and now Oracle 10g Rel 2 and I don't understand why
BEA don't release it.
Thanx
GiancarloPorting JRockit to new OSes/architectures is very expensive, so we have to prioritize the porting effort based on customer interest, and there has been very little demand for JRockit on Solaris/x86. Most customers purchasing Sun x86 hardware use Windows or Linux.

Cross compiling apps on solaris 8 for solaris 10 x86 and x64
Hi All,
We have a few applications built on Solaris 8. and we want to build the same apps on Solaris 10 x86 and x64 but the problem is clearcase does not support Solaris 10 yet.
Can we cross compile the apps on Solaris 8 for Solaris 10 x86 and x64 ? and how ?
waiting for any info on this.
TIA,
warm regards,
GirishFYI, I noticed the reply on Sun Studio General Forum:
If you build an app on one version of Solaris, the app will run on later Solaris versions. So in particular, you can build an x86 application on Solaris 8 and run it on Solaris 9 and 10.
Unfortunately, an x64 application must be built on a Solaris x64 system, which first became available with Solaris 10. -

Compiling ant 1.6.2 for Solaris 10 x86
Hi,
I need to compile Ant 1.6.2 on Solaris 10 x86 edition (S10 x86 comes with ant 1.5.4 but some of the newer ant syntaxes are not supported in 1.5.4). When I tried doing the compile using Ant 1.6.2 sources from ant.apache.org, I get the following error:
src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/types/AbstractFileSet.java:48: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class ModifiedSelector
location: package modifiedselector
import org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.modifiedselector.ModifiedSelector;

------->(The caret is under M of the word ModifiedSelector)
Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.
10 errors
... Failed compiling Ant classes !
Bootstrap FAILED
ModifiedSelector class has some unresolved symbols. And this is present at many places.
Any idea what I should do to get over this error ?
Thanks,
MurthyI had the same problem on Solaris 10 sparc. The problem seems to relate to symbolic links with
long names not being extracted correctly from the tar file (resulting in @LongLink files popping
up around the place). If you use the .zip source file then the build goes fine.

Grid Control Agent for Solaris 10 x86 32bit (not 64 bit)
Hi,
I am trying to locate the 32 bit version of Solaris 10 x86 agent for Grid Control OEM 11g (11.1.0.1.0).
There is only a X86 64 bit version listed at the download site.
My isainfo shows that solaris install is 32 bit.
Does anybody know if a 32 bit version of the agent for Grid Control 11g is available.No ..Its not available yet.
Please contact Oracle Support.

I understand that this is not one of the supported configurations at this time. Could anyone comment if there are plans to support 64-bit Java on Solaris 10 x86?
Cheers,
~georgeOn the x86 solaris 10 system I'm looking at there is
a client VM
/bin/java -client -version
java version "1.5.0_12"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode)
and a server VM
/bin/java -server -version
java version "1.5.0_12"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode)
For the client the 64bit VM is still in development. I don't
think there are dates established for that yet.
If you can use the server VM, then you need to down
load the 64bit binaries. Then you will see
/bin/java -server -d64 -version
java version "1.5.0_12"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode)
The downloads are at (look for the release you want)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
Hope that helps. -
