Solaris 10 and Intel RAID Controllers SRCSAS144E
Where can I download a drivers ?
That answer was trollish.
Did you look into this card - did you even try to see if Solaris could support a PCI-express MegaRAID SAS? This is the heart of the - ssr212mc2 - http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ssr212mc2/index.htm . This is a pure Intel reference design. This is the most drives that fits into a 2U **EVER**. This is the best storage product in existence today. So being snarky and not supporting it will only hurt Sun. The SRCSAS144E is a MegaRAID SAS controller. Need I remind you that the Sun v60 and Sun v65 were pure Intel reference servers that worked GREAT! It works in Linux, want to see:

Usually we get this problem with PERCs here, this crap where Solaris drivers, unlike **all** other operating systems, strangely don't work with Modern (far more modern than any of the crap storage cards Sun sells) versions of LSI cards.
Strange.

Tiffsplit crashes on Solaris (sparc and intel), okay on Linux
Hello experts,
I have a tiff file that causes a crash with tiffsplit when run

What could I do to make it work properly on Solaris 9 on Sparc ?
Thanks for your help.You should have no problems if both are using Sun's Java Runtime enviroment. I believe there are some problems with Microsofts implementation of Java, but I don't know exactly what.

Dual HBA and dual RAID controllers
PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI Host adapter, single host (V210), StorEdge 3320 with dual RAID controllers.
Looking for best speed and reliability - can't find any documentation explaining how best to utilize dual controllers in SE-3320 RAID array.
Only reference is in "Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Best Practices" document, that says:
Use dual-controller arrays to avoid a single point of failure. A dual-controller SCSI array features a default active-to-active controller configuration. This configuration improved application availability because, in the unlikely event of a controller failure, the array automatically fails over to a second controller, resulting in no interruption of data flow.
Does the HBA provide the same active-active configuration?
Can BOTH ports of HBA be connected to the dual controllers (one-to-one) to provide redundency/failover at both ends?
Does this provide better throughput?problem starting to look like harware or firmware...
installed patch 124750-02 T2000 firmware update
installed patch 123305-02 Qlogic firmware update
after updates: port 1 works fine, port 2 still flashing lights
as long as fiber port lights flash - there is no communication occuring
so, there are no LD's, LUN's to report even at OBP.
fiber cable is proven good, controller port is proven good...
guessing it's a bad HBA GBIC port, can't explain it any other way.

Hi
I'm trying to get this Intel 845 graphic chip to work with Solaris 9.
I've installed The XFree86 porting kit, tried the VESA driver but it still doesn't work.
Had a look att this page, but it didn't help me.
http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/845driver.html
Any ideas anyone???After two days of hard work and digging the Sun documents site, I found the following:
Execute the code below to re-scan the SCSI bus and identify any changes made in the storages, like adding or removing virtual disks.

Solaris 9 and Intel 8086,109a nics
Due to MySQL Cluster hanging Solaris 10, I have attempted to run Solaris 9 on these Supermicro 6014 Intel servers. The hardware is a little too new, but it mostly works. I can not boot directly off HDD ("prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem") so I am currently using a boot floppy. This will do temporarily.
However, I had to use an old 3com nic in the server, and it would be much better if I could get the on-board nics to work. I have been attempting to get them to plumb for quite a while without success.
The meaty details:

Repeat all commands above, no difference. It just does not want to see it. I must admit I do not know if it is supposed to be pci8086 or pciex8086. Perhaps Solaris 9 can not do pciex?
I have tried disabling ACPI, and Plug'n'Pray, and all combinations of those two.
Any help would be appreciated.And anyway if you use a Solaris8 DCA that works the samem, since they are not much changes in hardware support for x86, and the important thing is to use further a Solaris 9 Cd to install.
By the way these IBM x86 boxes (300 an NetVista series from a pair of years ago) are a pain,they don't support el-torito, even with the more recent bios. -
Questions on Marvell vs. intel Raid setup for new build
I’m getting ready to do my first build this weekend, and had some questions on the Asus p9x79pro motherboard’s raid controllers. They are:
What is the difference between the Marvell controller and the intel software controller?
Why would I use one over the other?
Do the Marvell raid controllers need to be pre-installed using the F6 method, same as the intel raid controllers?
Here is my planned drive arrangement, feedback appreciated.

Asus BD burner on 3gb port
ThanksWhat is the difference between the Marvell controller and the intel software controller?
I haven't tested it, but rumors are that Intel is marginally faster than Marvell.
Why would I use one over the other?
It depends on the number of ports in your system. That can be motherboard dependent.
Do the Marvell raid controllers need to be pre-installed using the F6 method, same as the intel raid controllers?
No. You can define a raid after you installed your OS by simply going into the BIOS.
On my motherboard, I have 2 Intel SATA 6 G ports and 2 Marvell SATA 6 G ports. The rest are SATA 3 G.
If that is the same in your case, I would do the following:
Crucial M4 on Intel SATA 6G
WD Black on Intel SATA 6G
2 x WD Black/64 on Marvell SATA 6G in raid0
WD Black/32 on Intel SATA 3G
DVD/BDR on Intel SATA 3G
one SATA 3G for eSATA connection. -
How can I use the "gcc compiler and emacs editor" in Solaris 8 for Intel?
I installed Solaris 8 for Intel to my desktop computer.
After the installation, I found I couldn't use the companion software (the software CD included in the Multilinugal Media Kit for Solaris 8) - especially the emacs editor and gcc compilers.
I certainly installed the companion software to my computer. And I can identify that those softwares are
really installed to my system. In order to check out whether I installed them or not, I went to the "System Administrator" and opened the "Solaris Product Registry", in which I identified that all the files in
the companion software were succesfully installed in my computer.
However, when I open terminal or console box and tries to use those
software, the system responds that "there is no emacs or gcc."
Why I cannot use those things?
Did I install the companion software wrong?
I really don't understand why I can't use them.
For your reference, I saw the directories "/usr/bin" and "usr/ccs/bin"
too.
In /usr/bin I typed
#as
and no such command.
In /usr/ccs/bin
#as
and also no such command
was what I had as a response.
If I installed the companion software CD correctly and if they are installed somewhere in my computer,
where I can find them and how I can use those softwares?
Lastly, whenever I try to connect to my ISP via telnet mode, I see this
message.
"Try to connect ...
connected to ***.***.***.*** (IP address of my ISP)
Closed by foreign hosts."
Is there any one who knows why this happens?
Thanks for reading my question.gcc and emacs install in /opt/sfw. You should change your path statement to include /opt/sfw/bin and should obtain the FAQ from sunfreeware.com. The FAQ answers all your questions.
I have installed gcc and gtk and am using both at this time.

Cheap KVM switch for Solaris 10 on US and Intel boxes?
Hi. Any one got some idea on which kind of KVM switch is supported on Solaris 10 on UltraSparc as well as Intel boxes? I can only find those expensive ones for enterprise users, but I am just a home user, unable to afford that. Thanks for your suggestion!!
From what I can tell, containers (zones) are supported just fine on the x86/64 systems with the exception of Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 branded zones. Oh, and Linux-branded zones only work on x86/64 systems. Solaris 10 though as a non-global zone works on any S10 host OS.

TM and Migrating from G5 to Intel RAID Mac.
The good news: I have a new Mac Intel Pro and all my previous G5's data is backed up by Time Machine to a fast Newr Tech FW RAID.
The funky news:
1. I'd read a User Tip Contribution by Kappy that suggested how to migrate from a Motorola -based system to the new Intel. It seemed that Migration Assistant is not useful here, much less via Time Machine. True? (while I can no longer find this tip, I have a Web Archive of it)
2. Also, I've read here that I cannot continue using my old Time Machine backup account on the new Intel Mac. I'll have to wait while TM backs up up my new Mac entirely to a new TM account. I only have 300 GB left on my TM backup drive. Will I lose my G5's data when I add my Time Machine/FW disk to the new Intel. How, then, can I access my old data? If I can access my old data, must I retain my Username from my previous G5's accounts to be able to access TM backup data from my old Mac?
3. Another variable: I got three ATA disks and an Apple RAID card for the new Intel Mac. I assume that setting up the array will be the first task when booting my Intel Mac for the first time, yes? I'm also guessing that I would want my OS/Apps on one disk, and a RAID array from the remaining two for files, as in OS9 days when one couldn't install an OS on a RAID disk, yes? Does this suggest that all my Home directory's files, such as Documents, Movies, Music, etc. should be aliased to the RAID array disks, to keep the Apps on non-RAID, files on RAID discrete?
4. I gather I'll have to re-install all my 3rd Party software: Adobe CS3, Intel -compatible games, Final Cut Pro, Toast, etc. instead of using TM. Wow, no wonder I've been putting off setting up my new Mac.
All advice is welcome.

the fact that you'd be migrating from TM backup is irrelevant here. the fact that you'd be migrating from PPC to intel is relevant. You can try doing that but there may be problems. definitely do not migrate applications.
Here is one of kappy's posts on the issue
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1571689&tstart=0
2. Also, I've read here that I cannot continue using my old Time Machine backup account on the new Intel Mac. I'll have to wait while TM backs up up my new Mac entirely to a new TM account.
yes
I only have 300 GB left on my TM backup drive. Will I lose my G5's data when I add my Time Machine/FW disk to the new Intel.
I would suggest you use a different disk or reformat the existing one. You should format TM disk with GUID partition map for intel TM backups and yours is most likely formatted with Apple partition Map.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1550?viewlocale=en_US
You can try using the old TM disk but you might run into problems later. if you do use the old drive TM should give you an option of keeping the stuff already on the drive so that you can ahve your old TM backups there too.
How, then, can I access my old data? If I can access my old data, must I retain my Username from my previous G5's accounts to be able to access TM backup data from my old Mac?
not username but userid. It's most likely 501 in both cases so that should not be a problem. -
Compare Solaris based processor and Intel processor for EBS
We are planning to migrate our 9i database and Application(11.5.10.2) from Solaris to Linux.
Also planning for some major hardware changes.
We want to compare sparc V9 processors and Intel Processor.
Please let us know any documentation which compares both processors
- Bench marck for Solaris and Inter processors
- Any calculation like 1 Inter processor = n Solaris based processor
- Any other related topics .

Solaris 10 x86 - software RAID
I try make software RAID on x86 server with Solaris 10.
2 ata/ide disks on Intel i865 board.
I make mirroring all data partitions - it normally working.
make 2-nd disk bootable.
What I can do with BOOT partition ? mirror ? format on pcfs and copy data from 1-st disk? copy it with dd ?You can use SMC for other purposes but it won't help your with RAID.
Sol 10 1/06 has raidctl which handles LSI1030 and LSI1064 RAID�enabled controllers (from raidctl(1M)).
Some of the PERCs (most?) are LSI but I don't know if they are chipsets used by your PoweEdge (I doubt it).
Generally you can break it down like this for x86:
If you are using hardware RAID with Solaris 10 x86 you have to use pre-Solaris (i.e. on the RAID controller) managment or hope that the manufacturer of the device has a Solaris managment agent/interface (good luck).
The only exception to this that I know of is the RAID that comes with V20z, V40z, X4100, X4200.
Otherwise you will want to go with SVM or VxVM and manage RAID within Solaris (software RAID).
SMC etc are only going to show you stuff if SVM is involved and VxVM has its own interface, otherwise the disks are controlled by PERC and just hanging out as far as Solaris is concerned.
Hope this helps. -
Intel raid, find the failing (but not failed) drive?
One of my two Seagate drives is failing, I get intermittent system 'hangs', drive clicking, and the following error in event viewer:
Quote
"The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period.
When I built the system I created two volumes from my two hard drives. The first volume is a Raid 1 mirror set for my root drive. The second volume is a raid 0 stripe for my non-important stuff. The two volumes are named "Root_Mirror" and "Data_Stripe"
Here's the problem, How do I know which drive is on its way out? I believe the event viewer error is complaining about the mirrored volume set (iaStor0 = "Root_Mirror" volume?), but how do I prove this? (I am correct in thinking that WinXP talks to the Intel raid controller, the raid controller talks to the hard drives. Consequently WinXP can only report errors about the raid volume, not the underlying physical hardware.
I have a strong background in unix (Sun Solaris) disk and volume management. If this was a work machine, I'd run an "iostat -En" look at the error count for each device, then determine which lun was having problems. Once I know which lun is in trouble, I'd run a health check on the lun via the array management software (RM6 or whatever). I don't see these tools in WinXP or the Intel Matrix driver...
Here is a system report from the Intel Matrix storage console if it helps:

download Seagate's "Seatools"
burn Seatools to bootable cd
go into bios / Integrated peripherals / on-chip ATA devices / change from "raid" to "ide"
F11 boot to cdrom
run Seatools quick check to almost instantly identify the failing drive.
run Seatools extended test to find a whole SLEW of failed sectors :shocking:
reboot back into bios, Integrated peripherals / on-chip ATA devices / change back to "raid" (pray this won't blow away your data, which it didn't but you don't know that until you do it once
setup RMA refund thru Newegg, order replacement drive, and hope new drive makes it before old drive goes belly up.
while patiently waiting for new drive, sit in amazement that the Intel matrix driver ignores all the errors that Seatools found in a matter of seconds..
Here's a question. Should I be pissed that the Intel raid controller isn't reporting a bunch of errors, or should I be excited that the Intel raid contorller can keep a raid 0 stripe functioning with a clearly failing disk drive. (is it a bug or a feature????)
{sigh} -
Solaris 10 X86 - Hardware RAID - SMC/SVM question...
I have gotten back into Sun Solaris System Administration after a five year hiatus... My skills are a little rusty and some of the tools have changed, so here is are my questions...
I have installed Solaris 10 release 1/06 on a Dell 1850 with an attached PowrVault 220v connected to a Perc 4 Di controller. The RAID is configured via BIOS interface to my liking, Solaris is installed and see's all my partitions which I created during install.
For testing purposes, the servers internal disk is used for the OS, the PowerVault is split into 2 RAID's - one is a mirror, one is a stripe...
The question is; do I manage the RAID using Sun Management Console and the tools OR do I use SMC?
When I launch SMC and go into Enhanced Storage... I do not see any RAID's... If I select "Disks" I do see them, but when I select them, it wants to run "FDISK" on them... now this is OK since they are blank but I want to ensure I am not doing sometinhg I should not be concerned with...
If the PERC controller is controlling the RAID, what do I need SMC for?You can use SMC for other purposes but it won't help your with RAID.
Sol 10 1/06 has raidctl which handles LSI1030 and LSI1064 RAID�enabled controllers (from raidctl(1M)).
Some of the PERCs (most?) are LSI but I don't know if they are chipsets used by your PoweEdge (I doubt it).
Generally you can break it down like this for x86:
If you are using hardware RAID with Solaris 10 x86 you have to use pre-Solaris (i.e. on the RAID controller) managment or hope that the manufacturer of the device has a Solaris managment agent/interface (good luck).
The only exception to this that I know of is the RAID that comes with V20z, V40z, X4100, X4200.
Otherwise you will want to go with SVM or VxVM and manage RAID within Solaris (software RAID).
SMC etc are only going to show you stuff if SVM is involved and VxVM has its own interface, otherwise the disks are controlled by PERC and just hanging out as far as Solaris is concerned.
Hope this helps. -
Fail to install solaris 8 for intel
hello. i downloaded three files and made a CD for each one. but during the installing on a Dell PowerEdge 6450
(4 x Pentium III 550)which has two AIC 7899 ultra160/m SCSI adapters and a Dell PERC RAID controller (i note they are not included in the hardware compatibility list of solaris 8 for
intel), the install process stopped when it was "I2O Nexus:
initializing IO processor 0" and didn't go any further. when i attempt to intall it on another machine(2 x PIII 1000) which has a AIC 7892 ultra160/m SCSI adapter, the process
stopped saying "no disks that meet the criteria in the solaris installer documentation found" after solaris web start began to run. before this, it has reported resource conflict of PNP0C01
and ISY0050. and the installing stopped when "using RPC bootparams for network configuration information" on a PIII 800 PC. what's wrong with my installing. is it due to the incompatibility of hardware or something else?how to resolve it if possible? help is in need very much.besides,what does
DCA mean?sorry, i'm a newbie in this field.
thanks
xoingHi,
Problem with PERC RAID controller card.
You try to install the driver for AIC 7899 and Dell PERC RAID controller card. In dell computers, they have dell PERC RAID controller driver for Solaris 7 version. They don't have the driver for solaris 8 version.
You can download driver for SCSI AIC 7899 from this URL:
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.html?cat=/Product/ASC-39160&filekey=u160_slrs_v121_dd.img.Z
Then you check with your local dell support provider for PERC RAID controller driver for solaris 7 and solaris 8.
Thanks.
revert back.
regards,
Senthilkumar
