Root RAID-1 support totally broken in Solaris 10

Has anyone else noticed yet that support for recovery of a RAID-1 on the root partition is totally broken under Solaris 10? While one can set up a set of RAID-1 partitions for /, swap and /export/home under Solaris 10 in the same manner as Solaris 9 and the resulting RAID-1 is functional, its recovery process is not! If you power down the machine and remove one of the IDE drives making up the RAID-1 (each on their own IDE bus of course), the machine will kernel panic as expected on bootup. However unlike Solaris 9 which allows you to still login to delete the metastat database from the missing drive, Solaris 10 immediately reboots the machine upon the kernel panic. This makes the use of RAID-1 not only non-functional but actually dangerous since it doubles the chance that you will have a drive failure which will make the machine unbootable. Back to Solaris 9 for me.

I think you've been unfortunately hit by:
6215065 Booting off single disk from mirrored root pair causes panic reset
I'm currently in progress of putting a fix into the current development
release and backporting it to s10 asap which will be available via
a ufs patch eventually

Solaris 10 root RAID-1 support totally broken!

I have been configuring Sun Blade 1500 with two IDE drives (each on their own IDE bus) as RAID-1 for the /, swap and /export/home partitions. This has worked well and I have always been able to test the RAID-1 recovery ability of such a configuration. However I am very unhappy to report that this functionality to totally broken in Solaris 10. For example, if you disconnect the second IDE drive of the RAID and reboot, the machine kernel panics as expected. However unlikeSolaris 9, which still allows you to login for maintanence and to delete the metastat database entries for the missing drive (thus making the machine bootable without a kernel panic), under Solaris 10 the system simply restarts immediately upon the kernel panic, This makes the RAID-1 system more than just useless but actually dangerous since it now doubles the probabity that you will had a drive failure and end up with an unbootable machine. I am very glad I tested the RAID-1 recovery ability before I installed this machine. Back to Solaris 9 for me!

Perhaps the problem is the mount at boot flag set to no for the /devel /prod and /export/home filesystems? If your system is up try mounting these filesystems, if that works, set the mount at boot flag to yes.

Real HW S-ATA Raid card support in Solaris 10 x86?

I am trying to find an SATA RAID controller (real HW raid, not the
pseudo raid that comes on many mb) that works with Solaris 10 on x86.
I thought maybe the LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-4 might. Solaris has an amr
driver ported from FreeBSD according to the Solaris amr man page as
well as some webpage at Sun. This card is supported with the amr
driver on FreeBSD. However, the card is not correctly identified by
Solaris 10 at install time. There is also an LSI driver for download
for the MPT Fusion stuff and this card supposedly adheres to that
architecture family but it also does not work (I did it as an ITU
install addition).
I am also wondering about the LSI MegaRAID SATA 300x-8 card. There is
something in the LSI supplied itmpt driver that shows an 8-port
SAS/SATA controller support but I am not sure if this one is it as I do
not have the card.
I am also wondering about the Adaptec 2410SA or 2810SA cards. On
FreeBSD they are supported by the aac driver and Solaris has an aac
driver that is ported from FreeBSD. Anyone have any experiences with
these?
The Areca 11x0 series has a Solaris (not yet bootable) driver from the
factory (they emailed me a copy). I would prefer a bootable driver
since my server only has the disks for the RAID (mirror plus hot swap).
Any others that I need to look at ?
Alternatively, how to coerce the system (by changing stuff :-) to recognize under the existing mpt / amr the LSI MegaRAID SATA 150-4 at boot time from CD during an install. It shares the PCI id of 1000 (PCI1000) but the subid (after PCI1000,) is different than the SCSI brethren that are supported
Thanks

I'm trying to find a RAID SATA controller to use with Solaris 10 too....did you have any luck?

Can I have Group1 totals broken down by group3 database field?

I get requests to create reports with the following type format, and with more group levels each needing totals broken down. I have been able to create these reports using arrays and doing it all myself without features of Crystal reports. Is there a simple way to do this using Crystal reports features.

When I set up the cross tab group 3 shows the break down but group 2 and group 1 just shows one total line. I want to see the same break out as group 3 shows. If I can do it using a crosstab you will have to explain to me how to. It would make like a lot simpler for me.

E1000g driver broken on solaris 10 u6; how to report this bug correctly?

Question also posted in OpenSolaris forums:
[http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=329326]
While upgrading a T2000 server to solaris 10 update 6 I found that my jumbo
interfaces report errors on reboot.
One frequent cause was that the update replaced /kernel/drv/e1000g.conf file
(I changed the MaxFrameSize line to enable jumbo frames). This in-persistency
of the file is annoying but well-known (bonus question: can I make changes to
this file persistent?)
However, the system still refused to set MTU = 9000 on the interfaces, and by
default it assigns an MTU=8978 (instead of 16384 or 10244 as expected from
other systems; we only need 9000 though). Googling showed that a few people
have also discussed this regression.
Copying in the driver file (/kernel/drv/sparcv9/e1000g) from Solaris 10 u4
worked (network goes up, needed MTU is assigned). This doesn't seem like a
suported and "enterprise" solution, so I want this bug to be known and fixed by
Sun in the main tree.
I haven't found any numbered bug report on this matter. How can I submit a bug
for this regression in Solaris 10 (I couldn't reproduce the problem in OpenSolaris)?
Can someone with access and skill please post the bug for us? :)
e1000g driver module versions involved:
sol10u4 (working): Intel PRO/1000 Ethernet 5.1.11
sol10u6 (bad MTU limit): Intel PRO/1000 Ethernet 5.2.8
//Jim Klimov

Hello again, Mr. Cohen, and thank you for your corrections to my style.
No offense taken, since it makes sense when you put it this way,
and the point is taken - I'll try to be that specific next time. Thanks.
Returning to the problem at hand, however with the abundance of
Sun's tools to submit bugs (including those you pointed out above),
I believed I might not know of some one more bugtracker.
I also thought that "support cases" did differ from "bugs" which arise,
taking my example, when Sun (or Intel?) took a working e1000g driver
and "fixed" so it's no longer working - and then Sun releases it into
the commercial version of the OS this way through all the presumed
Q&A. And wants commercial users to pay for fixing it back. That's
the part of the logic I found flawed somehow ;)
So yes, you can say that I'm "cheap" to pay for Sun fixing something
they broke themselves.
I originally posted this report on OpenSolaris forum in hope someone
would point out my misconfiguration or confirm that the problem exists
for others.
That forum (and/or the bugtracker search for keyword e1000g) also have
a number of posts complaining about the vast number of ways this one
e1000g driver was broken lately in 90s-100s OpenSolaris builds. Some
posters even went as far as to suggest that someone reviews all works
of the engineers and managers who are responsible for these recent
flawed putpacks, or even provide some disciplinary action.
I wouldn't go that far, but I was still saddened to find some other bug
leak into the kinda-stable Solaris.

Iphone 5, totally broken

I've had my iphone 5 since December 2013, around june i took it to apple because the lock button was not working and thankfully they replaced it for free. aroung a week ago i dropped my iphone for the first time without the otterbox and it completely cracked the screen, i was devestated, but when i got in the car i put my phone in the cup holder and drove home, when i arrived at home while i was using my phone i realized it was a little wet, so i turned it off and put it in rice for a few days, when i turned it back on it told me to connect it to itunes and when i did it said it needed to be restored, but it never completed and it totally turned off and it wont even come up with the connect to itunes. i don't know what to do. i would really appreciate any help

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:

2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Support for rfc1514 on Solaris 9

All,
Does anyone have experience configuring the snmp management agent on a Solaris 9 system?
I need to use the rfc1514 standard (host-resource mib) to support a large server environment for monitoring a variety of health stats that we are currently unable to capture, and I have not had a great deal of success finding the technical docs that outlines and addresses the procedures on how to do this.
If anyone has done this for a Solaris 9 build I would appreciate your assistance.
Sincerely,
Matt S.

For all of those newbies like me I forgot to set some system settings. Here are the system settings I needed to put into /etc/system:
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=3000
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl= 256
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295

How to unlock Root Account in non-global zone on Solaris 10 Branded Zone

Hello All,
I have a phsical x86 server running Solaris 11. On top of that, I have 3 Solaris 10 branded zones configured. Due to security policy the root account has been locked by 5 failed login attempts.
Is there a way by which I can unlock root account in non-global zone.
I have the root access of global zone.
Pls help as these are production servers.
Regards

Hey,
It worked. Actually i forgot to save the file.
I changed the /<zonepath>/root/etc/shadow
Removed *LK* & then from global zone did zlogin -l root zonename
Thanks lot.

Stat() call broken on Solaris 8 x86

Greetings all...
The stat() function call is broken! Basically what happens is that it does not return when checking for non existant files in the automount directories (/home, /net, /xfn).
Sample code snippet:
stat("/home/nonexistantfile", NULL);
The above should return -1, and works fine on Solaris 8 on SPARC hardware. Problem is it does not return on x86 hardware, it just hangs right there! I'm using the 04/01 release and the gcc 2.95.3 compiler. A search in the forums does not return anything so I'm assuming it's a new bug. What's the bounty for finding a fresh one? :)
Brian

Tried that....the card was recognized...tried changing the values of the SCSI advanced setting during bootup (CTRL A)...but no avail.
Please advice n thanks.

TCP connection for DHCP failover frequently are broken in Solaris 10

Hi
We have two dhcp servers which are installed in Solaris 10 and set to a failover pair. Currently, we can find that tcp connection for dhcp failover protocol are frequently broken. It looks like that primary dhcp server initiatively send FIN message to secondary one but in general, this tcp connection should always keep alive. On the other hand, the tcp connection can not completely be closed right now which FIN_WAIT_2 status in Primary one and CLOSE_WAIT status in secondary would last for a long time.
Will Solaris 10 cause this fault? Is it a known bug in OS?
