Solaris 10 and Linux inter-operability

Hi there
I have Ubuntu linux and recently installed Solaris 10 on my x86 machine. My setup is dual boot through grub.
I wondered if there were any decent guides on Solaris and Linux inter-operability that could be recommended. My aim is to try Solaris 10 as a home desktop machine i.e. play music, video, surf email etc.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I am trying the same thing at least where I have windows xp, solaris 10 and Ubuntu Linux on one hard drive. I am also trying to configure Solaris to work like that too. Here is a link that I got from another forum that might help with that.

Why difference in Solaris and Linux

Hi,
The following program is giving results diferently when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris and Linux.
Why it is so.
here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
size_t size;
char *buf;
if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
exit (1);
size = sizeof( buf );
strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size : %d ", buf, buf,size);
if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)
exit ( 1);
*(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) = '\0';
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
free( buf);
exit( 0 );
Solaris:
Address is : 134160 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
Address is : 135704 String is : HelloWor
Linux:
Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorldAB

Hi,
The following program is giving results diferently
when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris
and Linux.
Why it is so.
here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
size_t size;
char *buf;
if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
exit (1);
size = sizeof( buf );The size you get here is the size of buf, which is the size of a pointer, not the size of what buf points to. sizeof(*buf) would give you size of a char, the type (not the object) that buf points to.
There is no portable way to find out the number of bytes allocated on the heap if you are give only a pointer to the memory. You have to remember the size some other way..
strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");A literal string consists of the characters in the string plus a terminating null, all of which are copied by strcpy. You allocated 10 chars for buf, but are writing 11 chars into it. At this point, the program has undefined behavior. Literally anything at all could happen, because you can't predict the effect of writing outside the bounds of allocated memory.
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size :
e : %d ", buf, buf,size);
if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)The "sizeof" operator in this case is returning the size of the type of a literal 20, which is an int. If you want to allocate 20 bytes, you write 20, not sizeof(20).
exit ( 1);
*(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) == '\0';SInce you can't count on buf having more than 4 bytes at this time, you are writing into unallocated memory, with undefined results.
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
free( buf);
exit( 0 );
Instead of asking why you get different results on different platforms, you should be asking why the program doesn't crash on all platforms. :-)
You can avoid these problems with keeping track of allocating memory by using the C++ standard library instead of trying to manage low-level details yourself as in C code.
The standard string class, for example, extends itself as needed, and ensures that heap memory is freed when the string object is deleted or goes out of scope. You don't need pointers, malloc, free, or sizeof to use C++ strings.

Why keyboard and mouse right click not working in Solaris and Linux?

Hi all,
I have two problems:
1) I am working on AWT/Swing application and its working fine in window enviornment,but while running on solaris and linux mouse right-click option window not poping up.
2) Ctrl+c,Ctrl+v,Home and End keyboard key are not working in solaris and linux OS for same application.
Pls provide me some solution for these problem.
-Dinesh

Hi Nik,
Thanks for reply. I found some solution for the above problem.
For mouse right click there was problem in my source code.I have not implemented the mousePressed() method
In case of keyboard Home, End and arrow key working fine after exporting AWTUSE_TYPE4_PATCH=false; in solaris and linux
But still Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v not working.
I am using JDK1.5.0_07+Eclipse IDE 3.1

Hello,
Just a quick question: can we have an official position from Sun regarding support of earlier releases of Solaris with Java RTS 2.1? Our customer is currently running Solaris 10 Update 3 with current Recommended patches, and the 2.1 beta cyclic driver supported this version of Solaris. However with the official release version of 2.1, support for U3 disappeared (only U4 and U5 are now supported). Aside from "rubber stamping" the Solaris build via /etc/release, is there a technical reason why U3 is no longer supported? As long as our kernel is up to date, can we safely use 2.1? Or is it just a case of being unable to officially support and test so many releases of Solaris?
Is this a general rule-of-thumb we can expect in future: only supporting the last 2 updates of Solaris 10?
Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave.

Solaris and Linux

Hi all Gurus
I build an HTMLDB application on an Linux box, and now I want to post it on the web which is managed by Solaris platform. Is it possible ? If yes, how should I do it.
Thanks

It will work fine.
Create the database user in the new machine.
Run exp/imp to copy your schema across.
Export your htmldb workspace and app.
Import the workspace into the new htmldb.
Import the application in htmldb.

JDeveloper is based on JBuilder 1.x and (I think) some on

whatever JBuilder 3.x has or will have does not in any way
reflect what will be in JDeveloper going forward (at least not
because JDeveloper will "inherit" any of the code/features).
I, for one, wish they had waited until JDeveloper was based on
the upcoming pure Java Jbuilder 3.something so as to have a more

Solaris 10 and linux IB

We have a linux cluster running RH5.3 with ofed1.4 using Mellanox MT25418. The cluster is attached to a sun solaris10.7 thumper box. The thumper box export a zfs filesystem via NFS. linux clients mount the filesystem via IPoIB.
Under filesystem I/O load the subnet manager gets repeated path record requests from the sun solaris box. This can bring the SM and the fabric down. Any any one else had issue with solaris IB <-> Linux IB? Any insight into what could be causing the issue?
Thanks,

* the server is in the LAN and the desktop firewall of the client is double-checked to let the required ports through to any destination.

Clearly indicates what is happening inside there.Clearly indicates that you don't know what you are talking about.
Any applications invoked with a security manager must
be granted explicit permission to access local system
resources apart from read access to the directory and
its subdirectories where the program is invoked.Any application that gets a java.net.ConnectionException: Connection
refused is getting it more or less directly from the TCP/IP stack. If the problem had anything to do with policies and permissions and SecurityManagers, it would have been an AccessControlException .
if your client RMI doesnt include these lines then If your 'client RMI' does include these lines then I would like a definition of what exactly a 'client RMI' really is, because I've been using RMI for ten years and wrote a book about it and I certainly don't know.
1)just include these lines
if (System.getSecurityManager() == null) {
System.setSecurityManager(new
SecurityManager());In other words, if the application doesn't already have a security manager, in which case the contents of the policy file or the 'client RMI', or whatever you want to call it, are completely irrelevant, such that they couldn't possibly be having the problem you desrcribe, add a security manager so that we get into the land where you might possibly know what you're talking about?
e a policy file
grant {
permission java.net.SocketPermission
"192.168.1.123:1099", "accept,connect,resolve";
};And this is completely unnecessary if there isn't a security manager, and completely unrelated to the OP's problem.

Export/import from solaris to linux endianess

Good Morning,
At work we are in the process of switching over from Solaris operating system to Linux o/s for our database. I had been reading about this endianess where Solaris is identified as a "big endian" and the Linux is a "small endian" structure. It has to do with the way files are loaded into memory.
My question is will this change in endian have any effect on the export from Solaris and import to Linux?
I can't seem to find any documentation on this subject. My hunch says 'no' but I would like to get a second opinion.
Thanks in advance for help on this question.
Regards,
al

Hi,
Yes as DK already said a datapump export is a logical backup so instead of you copying datafiles which contain blocks fomatted in the endianess of the operating system you are just copying files which contain a series of commands to recreate all the objects in the database. You can think of an export file as containing something like the following:
create tablespace xx;
create user xx;
create table xx;
insert into xx values (yy);
create index zz on xx;
etc
So this file can be loaded into any platform - it doesn't care.
Regards,
Harry

How to restore a Oracle 9i Backup from Sun Solaris to Linux

Dear all,
I am using Oracle 9.0.1.
I make a Hot Backup which made by Rman in the Sun Solaris
and now, I want to restore this backup to the Linux machine.
But in the Linux machine,
the database name & path is different from that in Sun Solaris.
Does Oracle backup can restore across different platforms?
Does anyone know how to do write ryman statement to do this?
Thank for your kindly help.

You cant resore backup in different platform.

New MacMini and Linux

I'm trying to get Linux to install on my new MacMini but the monitor driver doesn't not appear to be correct. I've tried Edubuntu and Mint so far. Each time the installation will proceed until the monitor stops and goes into sleep mode because the Mini isn't sending a signal. I've tried both the analog and digital (HDMI) monitor outputs.
I know the new Mini is very new and is significantly upgraded. Has Linux not caught up yet?
The graphics card is a NVidia GeForce 320M
Does anyone have this kind of setup working?

Thanks for the suggestion. The issue is that I can't get Ubuntu or Mint installed (the screen goes dark long before the install is completed) so updating the nvidia driver for Linux isn't possible. nVidia doesn't post Mac drivers so that's not an option either.
I'm trying to set this up as a triple-boot (Mac, Windows 7, and Linux). I've done this many times on other Macs but am stuck on this Mac Mini. This is a training lab and I need all of these operating systems in their native environment (not through Parallels or similar).
Thanks for your help!

10.7 solaris-11i linux

Where can i find some information of upgrading
from 10.7 solaris-11i linux
- steps involved it
q:
- Do i build 10.7 in linux and then do a upgrade
or
- build upgrade in unix and then import/export to linux
any points will be helpful
srini

I will first give a very high level answer and if you need more detail - just ask away.
First Need to lay down upgrade environment with rapid install - this would include new $APPL_TOP, $806_ORACLE_HOME,$8174_ORACLE_HOME,$IAS_ORACLE_HOME and $COMMON_TOP. This would be in the linux side. Remember rapid install itself has patches and there is a metalink note on the pre-upgrade patches for the apptlop during the upgrade note 112659.1.
Search metalink new patch search for rapid install and find those patches - very important for linux - so of the rapid install versions have issues, the last patch set fixed our problems.
Once this is prepared (upgrade not started) then I used imp/exp to migrate the database and I reorg'd the database at the same time for this - Metalink document 204015.1 was a good source for this. Verses the sysadmin documentation. Then once the database is imported, then begin the upgrade process - we also created a 10.7 on solaris pre-upgrade clone, that is we cloned production to a temporary 10.7 environment, did the pre-upgrade steps up until the database migration, then did the imp/exp , then did the upgrade -
Hope that makes sense, there could be other ways and even different twists with the steps we did. I hope it makes sense, I am not that good in emails and notes, The reason we did the pre-upgrade steps on a clone was so that the current production could serve as a back up in case of any un-anticipated problems happened during the upgrade and as well for the testing process that you go through.

Chris

Advanced Replication using Oracle 8i and Linux

Hi,
My name is Sadhana. I am a software engineer. I have a doubt regarding Oracle and Linux. Well, I am involved in developing a customer care and billing solution with back end as Oracle8i (8.1.5)on Linux RH 6.1. I need your guidance is regarding the reliability of using Oracle on Linux as data file servers for critical applications like customer care and billing systems in telecom. The rating and billing engine will also run on linux servers. Only the client machined will have windows 98/NT. It will be helpful if you can throw some light on the replication features of Oracle particularly in Linux. For e.g. is it possible to keep a database server - Oracle on linux and a replication server on linux. Will it behave similarly like other replication servers (windows NT or Solaris etc.)? Is it reliable?
Looking forward for your reply
TIA,
With Best Regards,
Sadhana S Kamath

1.) Yes it will.
2.) Nobody knows. (Oracle points to May/99...)
3.) Yes, absolutely, since Enterprise Editions are poorly

Migration of Database oracle 10g from solaris to linux

Hi,
I need to migrate a DB from solaris to linux without shutdown the solaris DB.I would like to know the backup using RMAN Transportable tablespace in solaris and migrate it to dest(Linux).
Kindly share ur ideas

I need to migrate a DB from solaris to linux without shutdown the solaris DB.I would like to know the backup using RMAN Transportable tablespace in solaris and migrate it to dest(Linux).
Kindly share ur ideasIt is very much possible. In fact I transfered DB from sunos to Windows. But this is not a backup process using RMAN. RMAN is used to change the endianness of datafile so that it is in format which is required by Windows format. This transfer is possible using the data pump utility(IMPDP). There are many threads on the forum for this topic. Seek help from other threads.
