Document on 10g RAC setup on solaris using vmware

Hi All,
I am planning to setup "Oracle 10g RAC setup on Solaris using vmware", but I am strucked up at installation of Soaris 10 in VMWare.
Can any body please help/provide me the document on Solaris 10 installation for RAC setup .
The main problems I am having during the SOlaris 10 setup is
1) Setting up the static public and private addresses required for RAC
2) Partitioning the disk space.
Thanks in advance,
Mahipal Reddy

Non-anonymous FTP setup on Solaris 8

I'd like to set up FTP access on my Solaris 8 (Sparc) box. However, I don't want people to use real system accounts on the server to log in. Is it possible?
For example, on Widnows platform, I can install WS_FTP Server from IPSwitch, which maintains its own list of FTP users (thus no users are set up at the OS level). Can the default FTP Server on Solaris 8 do such thing? What about WU FTPD?
Any helps are very much appreciated!

Thanks Jeffrey!
Can you also shed some lights on this:
The default FTP server setup on Solaris seems to allow a system user to go anywhere(if he has permissions to) once he ftps in. For example, once I ftp in as myself, I am in my home directory. I can cd to, say, /etc and do a get on the passwd file and read it on my local machine. Being able to read the passwd file does not do much harm, but just wondering if there is a way to restrict the valid system user to his home directory and its subdirectories once logged in.
Thanks again!

[Q]IPinIP setup between Solaris 8 Systems

I'd like to communicate between the two systems by applying IPinIP.
For applying IPinIP, I have configured tunnel on two systems using ifconfig command as follows:
In System A,
#ifconfig ip.tun0 plumb
#ifconfig ip.tun0 211.217.97.67 211.217.97.132 tsrc 211.217.97.67 tdst 211.217.97.75 up
#ifconfig -a
ip.tun0: flags=10028d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST,UNNUMBERED,IPv4> mtu 1480 index 3
inet tunnel src 211.217.97.67 tunnel dst 211.217.97.75
inet 211.217.97.67 --> 211.217.97.132 netmask ffffff00
In system B,
#ifconfig ip.tun0 plumb
#ifconfig ip.tun0 211.217.97.75 211.217.97.132 tsrc 211.217.97.75 tdst 211.217.97.67 up
#ifconfig -a
ip.tun0: flags=10028d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST,UNNUMBERED,IPv4> m
tu 1480 index 3
inet tunnel src 211.217.97.75 tunnel dst 211.217.97.67
inet 211.217.97.75 --> 211.217.97.132 netmask ffffff00
Original packet that I have been testing is the ping(echo request) message.
That is packet sent from the system 211.217.97.43 to 211.217.97.132.
The result of that is described as follows:
=======
211.217.97.67 system received packet which 211.217.97.43 sent 211.217.97.132.
After appling IPinIP , 211.217.97.67 system sent that 211.217.97.75.
========
B system received packet applied IPinIP from 211.217.97.67 system.
But, 211.217.97.75 system did not forward packet to 211.217.97.132.
I could not confirmed that how 211.217.97.75 system does process that after receiving packet. What I did wrong?
I would like to know how 211.217.97.75 system does process received packet applied IPinIP.
I might expect that 211.217.97.75 system which configured tunnel forwards original packet to original destination address after IPinIP processing (decapsulation).
If you got some solutions for this problem of our system, let us know that.
And, ifconfig setting method for IPinIP setup between Solaris 8 Sytems?

What I mean was the post below your first one. But you correctly interpreted it in your next post. So "Solaris 8 containers" only works for SPARC. I don't get why Sun would only have containers support for SPARC systems. That is in total contradiction to why I would think they would develop containers in the first place: backwards compatibility to support programs that aren't yet migrated to the current version of Solaris regardless of whether they are x86 or SPARC. They have a solution but it only works at %50? hmph.There is probably just very little demand for it. During the Solaris8/Solaris9 days, Sun was killing off the x86 line. There is very little installed base of Solaris 8 x86 compared to Solaris 8 SPARC. (It wouldn't help you out, it appears, since you have SPARC binaries).

Sendmail setup for iSeries

Hi,
I am following the instructions for sendmail setup using the tips provided in this thread:
I'm confused with these steps, as the IMG is not located on the Netweaver 2004s CD.
On AS/400, as OFR:
· pull in current "IMG" (Internet Mail Gateway) library off kernel CD using FTP
· restore to library like "R346DIMG"
· add R346DIMG to library list ahead of kernel
As such I cannot locate MLSOMADM for iSeries
Can someone assist me in the right direction?

Hi Kate,
to my best knowledge, IMG is no longer supported since 6.10 - and as you are using 7.0 ....
why do you need that ? SAP has an SMTP client & server => it just works out of the box when you activate smtp in SCOT and provide a mail server, that accepts mails without authentication )))

Sendmail MTA on Solaris 10

I have been banging my head against the wall with this for several weeks now. I am trying to setup Solaris 10 mail clients and server. What I would like to do is have all my Solaris (10) systems send to one Solaris 10 mailhost (alias is mailsrv). That host will then resolve local addresses or send to other destinations (to the outside world or our Barracuda and on to Exchange) via definitions in the local aliases file or just pass it on if it can not determine it.
I have the clients working with the following cf file:
OSTYPE(`solaris8')
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
FEATURE(`msp', `[mailsrv]')
However, the MTA will not allow the mail to come in. I have set the local_only property via:
svccfg -s svc:/network/smtp:sendmail setprop config/local_only=false
My MC file contains this:
OSTYPE(`solaris8')
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')
CwMyDomain.com
MASQUERADE_AS(`MyDomain.com')
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')
FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`MyDomain.com')
define(`LUSER_RELAY', `mailfilter.MyDomain.com')
MAILER(`local')
MAILER(`smtp')
This config works perfectly to deliver mail to the local user or pass it on to the outside world or Barracuda/Exchange. However, it will not accept mail from another Solaris host. SMTP is running:
%netstat -a | grep smt
*.smtp *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
I can telnet to port 25 from another machine and actually send a valid email via SMTP commands. I can even send to it from my Exchange server. It just won't allow sendmail to talk to it from another host. The mail just sits in the queue:
%mailq
/var/spool/clientmqueue (1 request)
-----Q-ID----- Size -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient-----------
o5FHjjBL004148 5 Tue Jun 15 13:45 root
(Deferred: Connection refused by mailsrv.MyDomain.com.)
MyEmailAddress
Total requests: 1
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Jim

So far it is happening for root. What do you suggest I do to fix it?
Below is an example of what I have been seeing. If you look at "To", you will see where the problem is..."relay" should not be there. The host name should not be there either as the masquerading configuration is set up. Something is causing "relay" to appear and I cant seem to find what it is.

Sendmail Configuration in Solaris 10

I have a script that I've been using in Solaris 9 to disable incoming mail. The script basically
- edits the "/etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail" file
- replaces MODE = "-bd" with MODE = " "
- sends command "/etc/init.d/sendmail stop" to stop sendmail
- sends command "/etc/init.d/sendmail start" to restart sendmail
Can anyone tell me how to do this in Solaris 10 since "/etc/rc2.d/S88sendmail" file no longer exists. I'm assuming it has something to do with SMF. I've found documentation on how to start and stop services (ie: sendmail) with SMF but can't seem to find how to make configuration changes.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The sendmail control file is in /lib/svc/method/smtp-sendmail (you may have to export them first using the svccfg tool)
Edit it and change the line MODE="-bd" to MODE=""
Edit the /etc/mail/submit.cf file.
Change the line D{MTAHost}[127.0.0.1] to D{MTAHost}[mail.yourdomain.com]
Restart Sendmail with: svcadm disable smtp; svcadm enable smtp

Basic lp printing setup on Solaris 10

What changed with lp printing in Solaris 10 from previous versions? I used to use CUPS but can't anymore as Sun stopped uncluding it on the companion CD with later versions of Solaris 10 (U4+). Now I just want a simple print queue setup to a hp 4250 networked printer that will always print landscape,compressed print. We have Solaris 9 boxes with these queues setup without CUPS that work just fine but I guess the same lpadmin, lpfilter, etc. commands don't setup a print queue the same way on Solaris 10 as I can't print to the printer - only 2 sets of banner pages come out. I want to tie a shell script filter to the queue that prepends the esc codes to the print file to make it go landscape and compressed print but nothing prints out but banner pages. If I look at /var/lp/logs/requests most status codes are 0x0100.
I've tried following Sun Doc ID: 212177 as follows:
# vi myfilter.sh
#!/bin/ksh
#Print landscape
echo "^[&l1O"
cat -
# vi /etc/lp/fd/myfilter.fd
Input types: any
Output types: myfilter
Printer types: any
Printers: any
Filter type: fast
Command: /opt/local/bin/myfilter.sh
# lpfilter -f myfilter -F /etc/lp/fd/myfilter.fd
# lpadmin -p myque -o protocol=bsd,dest=<printer hostname> -v /dev/null -m netstandard -T unkown -I myfilter
# enable myque
# accept myque
# lp -dmyque <some_text_file>
result are 2 banner pages and contents of the file to be printerd and /var/lp//logs/requests is 0x0100.
someone please educate me if U can? (I'd take a Dinozo slap to the back of the head from Gibbs as necessaryl!)

Have you tried using the Solaris 10 GUI interface
Launch -> Preferences -> System Preferences -> Add/Remove Printer
Have a look at this thread below
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=354604&#354604

Hi,
Problem resolved, a case of RTFM.
In order to avoid a ppd error in the command below you need to ensure the ppd-cache is working and this involves rebuilding the it
# ppdmgr -r
You should now be able to sucessfully add the ppd option as shown below.
It appears that the Make, Model and Driver options do not appear after a clean install of Solaris 10 10/08 in the Printer Manager. However, if you create a printer with a ppd interface and then delete it the options remain. example below.
# lpadmin -p hp1 -v /dev/lp1 -I postscript -m standard_foomatic -n /usr/lib/lp/model/ppd/system/foomatic//HP/HP-DeskJet_950C-hpijs.ppd.gz

Sendmail issue on Solaris 10 system...

I have two systems running Solaris 10 that are having sendmail issues. If mail messages like the one below gets bounced back or if someone replies to it, the message will go to [email protected], and that should not happen. I believe I configured these systems the same way as the others and they seem to be fine. I have reconfigured the sendmail on the problems systems and I am still seeing messages going to [email protected] Below is what our reports should be sending to us and below that is what we should not be sending. How do I fix this problem? Can someone help, please. Thanks.

Sendmail broken from Solaris 10 11/06 to Solaris 10 8/07 - port 25 broken

I am in the process of building a new solaris 10 8/07 server to replace a solaris 10 11/06 server. Both are running.
Sendmail on both has changes limited to:
correcting /etc/hosts to include mailhost entry
dns server pointing to localhost as mailhost
local-host-names set on each
aliases set up and newaliases run
Otherwise, the configuration files are standard and both are running the as shipped main.cf.
svcadm enable -r network/smtp seems to work fine and the services show as enabled
The 11/06 server has run fine for close to a year.
The 8/07 server has mconnect work fine to localhost but I get connection denied when I try to come in via the ip number.
TCP Wrappers are not running, but even then I have hosts.allow set with lots of variations of ALL: ALL.
No errors in /var/log/syslog.
How do I figure out what is happening on the port and why it is not connecting?
# mconnect localhost
connecting to host localhost (127.0.0.1), port 25
connection open
220 mailhost.molten-rock.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8; Sun, 4 Nov 2007 16:44:25 +1300 (NZDT)
# mconnect magma
connecting to host magma (192.168.25.250), port 25
connect: Connection refused
# uname -a
SunOS magma 5.10 Generic_127112-02 i86pc i386 i86pc
# svcs | grep smtp
online 15:45:50 svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

Thanks, but had found a previous discussion with this hint and applied it.
svccfg -s sendmail listprop shows config /local_only = false
Yes, I would really love to fix the fault, but what I would really like is some hints as to how to debug ports under svc control.

Sendmail + IMAP on Solaris 11

I need to enable IMAP to be able to connect remotely (from within the same network but a different computer) to my local Sendmail mailboxes on my Solaris 11 server. I haven't found any articles about that for Solaris 11, but I have found one for Solaris 10 (Oracle Apps Technology: How to start sendmail(SMTP) and IMAP on Solaris 10). What would be different in my case?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Dušan

I tried to follow the steps mentioned in the article, but it didn't work. The URL address ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/imap-2006e-sol10-sparc-local.gz is unavailable.
I tried to look up the IMAP package in the repository (Oracle Solaris 11 Package Repository). But when I typed "imap" into the search text box and hit the button, it showed me only the following packages, none of which seems to be what I am looking for.
library/java/[email protected],5.11-0.151.0.1:20101105T055508Z
