Smpatch Solaris 8/SPARC: Xsun offered 4 times

Hi folks,
while running "smpatch analyze" on Solaris 8/SPARC systems, I get the "Xsun patch" offered 4 times:
119067-09 X11 6.4.1: Xsun patch
116338-03 Trusted_Solaris_8_HW_12/02: Xsun patch
118383-02 Trusted_Solaris_8_HW_7/03: Xsun patch
125698-02 Trusted_Solaris_8_2/04: Xsun patch
Of course 119067-09 is the right and only one, the Trusted Solaris versions are improper, because this feature is not installed. I guess, the detection routine of smpatch is erroneous in this case. Anyone else got this?

Hi,
4 month have passed now, nothing happened to this issue: On a fresh installed and patched Solaris 8 <Solaris 8 2/04 s28s_hw4wos_05a SPARC>, where patch
119067-10 ,date: Jun/27/08, synopsis: X11 6.4.1: Xsun patch
is installed, the following Xsun patches for "Trusted Solaris" are detected as missing and all being installed (!) by smpatch:
# smpatch analyze
116338-03 Trusted_Solaris_8_HW_12/02: Xsun patch
118383-02 Trusted_Solaris_8_HW_7/03: Xsun patch
125698-02 Trusted_Solaris_8_2/04: Xsun patch
# smpatch update
116338-03 has been validated.
118383-02 has been validated.
125698-02 has been validated.
Installing patches from /var/sadm/spool...
116338-03 has been applied.
118383-02 has been applied.
NOTICE: Update 125698-02 cannot be applied at this time since it is typed as "reboot immediate" which is disallowed by installation policy.
NOTICE: Patch 125698-02 cannot be installed until the next system shutdown.
So, in my opinion detection routines for Xsun patches are getting worse.

Oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine

Hi there,
I encountered the following problem during oracle 10g R2 installation on sun solaris 10 Sparc machine
Error encountered:
Using paramFile: /u01/Oracle/10gr2_db_sol/install/oraparam.ini
Checking installer requirements...

The following were the steps taken before encountering the above error
1. logged into a workstation
2. From its xterm terminal I logged to the oracle server via ssh oracle@ip
3. keyed in the following at the command prompt
DISPLAY=machine_name:0.0; export DISPLAY
4. executed the following from the command prompt
./runInstaller
Note: when executing the ./runInstaller, the preinstallation checking just hangs at Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. But the log file shows it failed during preinstallation checking as shown in Error encountered
Please help me with this problem.
Thank you
Ravindran Kanniah

It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
First check your shell by the following command.
$ echo $SHELL
Then select the below.
For csh shell
$ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
For sh,ksh and bash
$ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
$ export DISPLAY
After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
$ echo $DISPLAY
If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

SAP 7.0 on SUN Cluster 3.2 (Solaris 10 / SPARC)

Dear All;
i'm installing a two nodes cluster (SUN Cluster 3.2 / Solaris 10 / SPARC), for a HA SAP 7.0 / Oracle 10g DataBase
SAP and Oracle softwares were successfully installed and i could successfully cluster the Oracle DB and it is tested and working fine.
for the SAP i did the following configurations
# clresource create -g sap-ci-res-grp -t SUNW.sap_ci_v2 -p SAPSID=PRD -p Ci_instance_id=01 -p Ci_services_string=SCS -p Ci_startup_script=startsap_01 -p Ci_shutdown_script=stopsap_01 -p resource_dependencies=sap-hastp-rs,ora-db-res sap-ci-scs-res

and when trying to bring the sap-ci-res-grp online # clresourcegroup online -M sap-ci-res-grp
it executes the startsap scripts successfully as following

Hi all.
I am having a similar issue with a Sun Cluster 3.2 and SAP 7.0
Scenrio:
Central Instance (not incluster) : Started on one node
Dialog Instance (not in cluster): Started on the other node
When I create the resource for SUNW.sap_as like
clrs create --g sap-rg -t SUNW.sap_as .....etc etc
in the /var/adm/messages I got lots of WAITING FOR DISPACHER TO COME UP....
Then after timeout it gives up.
Any clue? What does is try to connect or waiting for? I hve notest that it's something before the startup script....
TIA

Solaris 9 Sparc

Has anyone downloaded the zipped ISO's for Solaris 9 Sparc? I completed all three downloads and created the CD's from the ISO's. The install disk works fine. I'm having trouble with disk 1, it seems to be corrupt. In fact the ISO claims to to be 564 Mb but the CD only reports 262 Mb. I also used ISO Buster and used the extract utility. It too is reporting 262 Mb.
I tried the Sun Download Manager thinking that I may have an issue with IE or my WinZip programs.
I've burnt two disks using EZ CD Creator 5 and one disk using Nero.
Anyone have any Ideas? I think the file is corrupt.
I hope this is the right place to post this. Thanks

There definitely seems to be something wrong with these zip files...
I downloaded install, v1, v2 onto a solaris 8 system, "unzip install" works;
"unzip v1" claims that end-of-central-directory signature not found. I've downloaded
this file a number of times
I downloaded v1 on a XP system w Sun DownLoad Manager, which unzips automagically
after the download. Using Nero to try to burn the iso, hangs the Nero application.
Sun does not seem to care about desktops any longer... After getting the 5th canned response
from [email protected] resulting from my downloads; I replied with a summary of
my troubles... Someone claiming to be a "Customer Service Specialist" send a somewhat
insulting reply , caliming no technical help was available there & that I should consult
the hardware compatibilty list. ie presumably my Ultra 5 with Solaris 8 is unable to unzip
a sun generated zip file.

Solaris 10 Sparc T2000/T1000 slow scp/sftp between hosts

We have 4 x t2000 and 2 x t1000 sun servers all running solaris 10 sparc edition and when uploading an agent to all these servers I was unable to maintain a connection faster than 6MB. All our OEL 6.3 hosts on the same vlans/network/swithes are able to copy the same files around at 85MB/s.
Our entire network is GB and have been trouble shooting along the way and have got down to two sun hosts on the same switch and vlan to rule out firewalling and other factors.
The switchports on the cisco show no errors and no errors are seen on the solaris servers and training up at the GB speed as configured.
So I'm faily certain there is something on the solaris hosts OS wise that is affecting perfomance that is causing some of our backup jobs to be quite long but I'm not sure at what to do now.
I've seen some online articles relating to tuning and adjusting certain tcp options but unsure as to what would be best.
Has anyone else experienced issues such a this and if so what was done to resolve it, thanks.

Hi,
this is just a guess, but the T1000 and T2000 are really slow when doing single-thread cpu stuff. When you do scp, a single thread or process on each machine has to do all the encryption and this is most likely what is slowing you down. To analyze this further, look at the output of prstat (or top). If I am right, you will see one scp/ssh process using all cpu time of one of your cores/threads. In a T2000 with 8 cores, 32threads, this will be shown in prstat as 6.7% utilization.

Installing OAS 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Solaris 10 sparc

I am installing Oracle® Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Solaris Operating System (SPARC) for the first time on an unix server. What is required in unix as far as directories, mount-points and etc. before I start. After downloading the product, it says to extract the cpio file, move the cpio file to an empty directory, then do: cat filename.cpio | cpio -icd What directory do I run installerer in. I have reviewed the doumentation in Oracle for installing the OAS but it is the prep work that i am not sure about.
Thank you for any help and guidance.

OK, when you unzip this or untar or make cpio, you will get Disk1, Disk2, Diskn folders, the mount for this could be anywere, even if they are in different mount points of folders, it's better to have them all in a same folder cause the installer will find the disks by his own, but ifyou have them in diferent folders, the installer will ask for the directory where the disk are.
Hope this helps
Greetings.

Cannot create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC in Oracle VM 2.2

Dear All,
I try many times to create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC but not get success.
When I created it already and then I start the Power On button, it run normally but the Console button cannot click on (hide). After that the virtual machine running abit then it change status to Powered Off.
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,
Heng

I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

Xinerama on solaris 10 using Xsun

One quick question that I cannot seem to find an adequate answer for by the 'man' or through google. How do I make changes to the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file stick? After a reboot the file is reset.
" BEST TO NOT EDIT /usr/dt/config/Xservers directly.
# /usr/dt/config/Xservers is a factory-default file and will
# be unconditionally overwritten upon subsequent installation.
# Before making changes to the file, should copy it to the configuration
# directory, /etc/dt/config."
does not clear it up.
Also, I fought forever trying to get the Xserver entry to work properly with Xinerama so I figured I would put that in here so others in my boat may not have the same problem.
For Xinerama on a solaris 10 sparc system (using two elite3d m6s on a SB1000) put this beast in the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file (all one line). Modify top bottom left right as needed and point the /dev/fbs/afbX statements to the actual cards in your machine. something like /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1 should work. That :0 before the +xinerama statement appears to be a show stopper if it is missing.
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/X :0 -nobanner +xinerama -dev /dev/fbs/afb0 top defdepth 24 defclass TrueColor -dev /dev/fbs/afb1 bottom defdepth 24 defclass TrueColor

Yes, I came across that. All i have to say is thank god it had no answers for me. What a complicated nightmare. It is easy to find the answers for Xorg and X86, but for some reason Xsun and sparc is a little more hidden (well I guess we all know why). It is also hidden by so many irrelevant google hits that it is a lesson in frustration.

Solaris 10 SPARC Recommended Patch Cluster for 2008 quarter 3 version

Dear All,
Could any one please guide me, where I can download "Solaris 10 SPARC Recommended Patch Cluster" for 2008 quarter 3 version.
I have checked in sunsolve.sun.com, I'm able to find only the latest release.
please guide me.
Thanks and regards,
veera

Ok,
Here's a cute little formula to try using your systems parameters to gain some "head's-up" on an expected or estimated time to complete the patch run.
You will need a few things to prepare.
Number of "real" CPU's (not hyperthreads)
Speed of each CPU as a whole number i.e 2.87Ghz = 2,867
the total number of patches from the cluster i.e. Sept 15th = 381 (Solaris 10)
Network factor if using NFS = 2.5
local cluster file factor = 1.5
Patch cluster on CDROM factor = 3.25
Now, combine all of those elements in this equation:
{ ( #1 * #2 ) / #3 * factor(#4 or #5 or #6) }
This will yield a number in minutes of patch run time. Then all you will need to add is the standard boot up time to get the total of all patching and reboot.
Of course you could write a script to extract all of this information and feed it to "bc -l" to get a quick figure.
Example, on one of my Solaris 10 boxes with the information filled in to the equation:
#> echo "((4*2660)/381)*1.5"|bc -l
#> 41.88976377952755905511
It actually took 44.2 minutes to complete the patching of this box plus another 12 minutes to reboot. But all in all a pretty fair estimate I think.

Sun JVM Performance Issue in Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC)

Hi,
Issue : Performance issue after the migration of a Java application from IBM-AIX 5 to Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC)
I am facing performance issue after the migration of a Java application from IBM-AIX 5.3 to Sun Solaris 10 (SPARC).
Normally the application takes less than 1 hour to complete the process in AIX, but after migration in Solaris the application is taking 4+ hours.
The Java version of IBM AIX is ,
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build pap32dev-20051104)
IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 AIX ppc-32 j9vmap3223-20051103 (JIT enabled)
The Java version of Solaris 10 is,
Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition for Business (build 1.5.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_17-b04, mixed mode)
Description of Application
The application merges 2 XML files of size 300 MB each using DOM Parser and generates flat file according to certain business logic.No remote files are using for the file generation. There are two folders and around 200 XML file in each folders of similar names. The application loads 2 similar XML file at a time from each folder and Processes. Same way, the application processes all the 200 XML file pairs using loop.
The JVM Parameters are given below.
/usr/java5/bin/java -cp $CLASSPATH -Xms3072m -Xmx3072M com.db.mcc.creditderiv.GCDXMLTransProc
Here the extended swap memory in AIX is 3072 (3GB). After copying the same tode to Solaris, the
application started throwing java.lang.OutofMemoryError. So that we have increased the swap memory up to 12 GB.
Since 32bit Java allows maximum 4 GB extended memory we started using 64 Bit Java in Solaris using -d64 argument.
The Current JVM Parameter in Solaris is given below.
java -d64 -cp $CLASSPATH -Xms8192m -Xmx12288m com.db.mcc.creditderiv.GCDXMLTransProc ( 64 GB Swap Memory is available in the System)
We have tried the following options
1.       Extended heap size up to 12 GB using -xms and -xmx parameters and tried multiple -XX options. Earlier the application was working fine in AIX with 3.5 GB extended heap size. ( 64 GB Swap Memory is available in the System)
2.       Downloaded and installed the Solaris SPARC Patches from the website,
     http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
4. Downloaded and installed XML and XSLT patch from sun website
5.       Tried to run the Java in server mode using -server option.

A 64 bit VM is not necessarily faster than a 32 bit one. I remember at least on suggestion that it could be slower.
Make sure you use the -server option.
As a guess IBM isn't necessarily a slouch when it comes to Java. It might simply be that their VM was faster. Could have used a different dom library as well.
Could be an environment problem of course.
Profiling the application and the machine as well might provide information.

CF9 w/ Solaris 10 (Sparc, 64-bit): Problems with mod_jrun22.so

Hi
We're running a Solaris (Sparc) box and installed Apache 2.2.16 and ColdFusion9 on our system. When starting ColdFusion the first time, the shell script "apache_connector.sh" installs the mod_jrun22.so (must be the successor of mod_coldfusion.so) and adds the required section in the httpd.conf file just fine. (well, after fixing the script... ^^)
The problem arises when starting Apache next time:
httpd: Syntax error on line 414 of /usr/local/httpd-2.2.16/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /opt/coldfusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun22.so into server:
ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
Apparently, this module was compiled with gcc, which we didn't install on our Sun system.
Does anyone know whether there's a module available which doesn't depend on gcc libraries under Solaris?
So far we've compiled everything with Suns compiler Sun Studio 12.0. The reason behind this is that we're using CFX-tags and our shared library uses C/C++ and embedded SQL for Oracle 11g (yes, we're old school ^^). And since Oracle 11g officially only supports Sun Studio 12.0 when using embedded SQL, we're trying to compile everything with this compiler.
Sure we could install gcc (or at least a runtime-component containing libgcc_s.so.1), but I'm wondering now whether we'll run into problems later when using our C++ library which was compiled with Sun Studio 12.0.
Could anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!
Daniel

We have our EBS 12.0.6 on Sun Solaris SPARC 64 bit. There are few hp printer (hp laserjet p2015dn) configured with our application and they are working fine.
Now we have to add one more printer but ( hp laserjet p2015dn) is not available now.
So please suggest the hp laserjet printer available for Solaris 10 Sparc 64 bit.You already have the same type of printer configured and it is working properly, so I would say it is supported.
What is the difference between the two printers configuration?
Can you print from the OS to the new printer?
What do you mean by "not available now"?
Thanks,
Hussein

When will Solaris 8 Sparc 4 2001 be available?

Not sure if everyone knows, but you can download ( if you have fast connection ) Solaris 8 Sparc or Solaris 8 Intel ... for free! Used to be you had to pay 75 bucks for a media kit for the Intel version.
I am more interested in the Sparc version, but am curious as to when Sun will have the next version of Solaris 8 ( want to know dates for both 1) available aka sent out to customers and 2) downloadable ).
Thanks in advance for anyone who knows! Is there a newsgroup or area in the sun web pages that shows this type of info?
Cheers, John

Hi
SOlaris 8 Update 4 is slated to be available officially around
the 14th of May 2001. The download and CD versions should both be
ready around the same time.

Does any one knows how to help me?

Here is the text from the download site from 10.3.3 that applies to 10.3.0 as well:
Note: This table includes links to WebLogic Server installers that include 32-bit JVMs for the platform
in question, and links to WebLogic Server generic installers that can be used on any supported platform.
To use WebLogic Server with 64-bit JVM's on Linux and Solaris or to use WLS on other supported
platforms, use the WebLogic Server generic installer listed under "Additional Platforms". The generic
installers do not include a JVM/JDK. For instructions on using the generic installers, see this document.
So regardless whether the OS is 64bit or not, you need to select the installer on whether you are running WebLogic Server in a 32bit JVM or a 64bit JVM. If you run in a 32bit JVM, you can use the 32bit binary installer for Solaris that has a .bin extension. If you are going to run a 64bit JVM, then you need to download the "generic" .jar installer and separately download the supported 64bit JDK and follow the instructions similar to this, but for 10.3.0.

How I can emulate Solaris 10 sparc on a Virtual Machine?

Hi for all.
Guys, I need to emulate an environment Solaris 10 in my job. We have an application that just run in this kind of environment. But, I found some problems when I try to install Solaris 10 Sparc on Virtual Box. I think that the problem is the type of architecture that are differents.
So, someone knows a way to emulate Solaris 10 sparc architecture on a Virtual Machine. Doesn't matter the Virtual Machine application (Virtual Box, VMWare, etc..). Somebody Help me?

HI Srini_Chavali
I'm using the Solaris 10 u11.
In fact, Virtual Box supports Solaris u6 and higher. I have an installation of Virtual Box running Solaris x86. But, the problem occurs when I try to create a Virtual machine to work with Solaris 10 Sparc architecture.
The errors that appears on the screen are:
"No bootable medium found! System Halted" and "FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted"
This error occurs just with Architecture sparc.
