Solaris 10 Configuration

I am having trouble configuring my internet connection in Solaris 10. I don't really know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Did the Solaris 10 installer recognize a supported network device?
If that is the case, the installer should have prompted you for the
NIC's configuration. And when you boot Solaris from the harddisk,
the command "ifconfig -a" should list a network interface in addition
to the loopback interface "lo0". (And in a next step we can try to
configure the NIC to access external systems)
Otherwise, if all that is listed by "ifconfig -a" is the loopback interface
"lo0", then you have to find a 3rd party NIC device driver (or maybe
modify / extend the standard Solaris PCI device -> device driver
bindings), to be able to access the NIC. The command
/usr/X11/bin/scanpci can help to identify the PCI cards available in
the system. If you know what kind of ethernet pci hardware is
present in the system, you can start looking for a Solaris x86
NIC device driver (e.g. here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/index.htm ).

Oracle RAC on Solarais Configuration Issue

Hi,
We are trying to install Oracle RAC 10g R2 on Solaris 10.
Following are the products
1=> Soalris 10 OS
2=> Sun Cluster 3.1
3=> Veritas Volume Manager
4=> Veritas Cluster File System
Can i deploy Oracle RAC using the above listed Software.
Here we have not purchase any of the Cluster Volume Manager.
Is the CVM required to install Oracle RAC.
Is there any alternative wherein we can install Oracle RAC without using CVM like for example using the RAW device where the VM will manage storage from a single node rather than buying the CVM that will allow to manage the storage from multiple nodes.
Also i would like to highlight is suggestion for using ASM is rule out hence ASM would not be used.
Can anyone suggest me some solution to the above problem.

Well, my impression is that you don't really know what your requirements are and you are trying to fit the technologies somehow. Worse yet, there is no clear understanding how those technologies fit together and as long as you explain what your vendor is saying you (which vendor?) they don't have clear idea either.
I would also suggest to review your decision to use Sun Network Data Replicator for DR site. Consider Oracle Physical Standby database instead - it's more flexible solution and doesn't limit your choice of storage stack.
1) Do Oracle RAC 10gR2 requires any Veritas Cluster Volume Manager
Words "any" and "Veritas" contradict in your question. But the answer is no. RAC require shared storage which can generally be one of those:
- raw devices with or without some kind of cluster volume manager
- cluster file system
- NAS storage (NFS mounted)
- ASM with raw devices for CRS files (OCR and voting disks)
2) Does Oracle RAC 10g R2 require any Vertias Cluster File System or it can sit on normal Vertias File System
Again, Oracle database files MUST reside on shared storage and non-clustered file system is not an option.
3) Is there any solution where we can use the Sun Cluster with Veritas Componets to configure RAC.
If I recall correctly, Sun Cluster includes in it's license some of component of Veritas storage stack. So you might be all set. You should turn to documentation on that stage and see exactly what you have licensed and if your stack allows shared storage. You might want to have a look at http://www.sun.com/software/whitepapers/solaris10/solaris_cluster.pdf
and Oracle Certification Matrix on Metalink.

How to configure Solaris that third-party software can use Netscape

Hi,
I don't know if this is Solaris configuration issue.
I have Storage Foundation installed on Solaris 10 SPARC.
And I am using the VEA GUI application to manage storage. Then I intentionally made some activities that the Error window appears with the link.
This link point to the Veritas web page.
After clicking on this link the error appears:
"Error attempting to launch web browser.:
netscape: not found"
Please tell me whether this issue is because it needs some changes in Solaris or maybe the Storage Foundation needs to be configured properly?
The internet connection works fine while executing the Netscape from CDE.
Kind regards,
Daniel

I don't think it has anything to do with the third-party software. When you click on a link or document, the OS tries to access it using the associated application. In your case, clicking on a hyperlink tries to load the default web browser which on your system is Netscape.
If say, you installed Firefox and configured it to be the default web browser then Solaris would launch it instead.
Try to manually launch Netscape and in the preferences, set it as the default web browser. See how you go with that.

Installing Solaris 10 from a SCSI DVD driveand a Tekram DC-390U adapter

I'm tryng to install Solaris x86 from a SCSI DVD drive wth a Tekram DC-390U adapter (DVD version downloaded from the sun website).
When the computer boots from the DVD the Solaris Configuration Assistant is run and ask me to choose the device which I want to boot from. The problem is the list only contains my hard drive and a CD drive, but not the DVD drive.
I guess Solaris doesn't include any driver for that specific SCSI adapter, which I find quite surprising as any old Linux or *BSD works fine with it. And the card is also listed in the device list Solaris has found while probing the system.
I tried to download drivers from the Tekram webiste but they are limited to Solaris 8. I didn't try them 'cause it takes me so much time to get a floppy drive up and running...
PS : Installing on a VirtualPC 2004 guest works fine, but it's so slow...

I downloaded the latest version of Solaris 10, and that solved the problem of the continual reboots. Now the keyboard doesn't work, but that's a different problem.

I see there is a zfs.conf file in /opt/SUNWjet/Products/zfs/zfs.conf do I need to edit that as well?
Thanks - J.

Hi Julian,
You MUST create /var as part of the installation in base_config, as stuff gets put there really early during the install.
The ZFS module allows you to create additional filesystems/volumes in the rpool, but does not let you modify the properties of existing datasets/volumes.
So,
you still need
base_config_profile_zfs_var="yes" if you want a /var dataset.
/export and /export/home are created by default as part of the installation. You can't modify that as part of the install.
For your zones dataset, seems to be fine and as expected, however, the zfs_rpool_filesys needs to list ALL the filesystems you want to create. It should read zfs_rpool_filesys="logs zones". This makes JET look for variables of the form zfs_rpool_filesys_logs and zfs_rpool_filesys_zones. (The last variable is always picked up, in your case the zones entry. Remember, the template is a simple name=value set of variables. If you repeat the "name" part, it simply overwrites the value.)
So you really want:
zfs_rpool_filesys="logs zones"
zfs_rpool_filesys_logs="mountpoint=/logs quota=32g"
zfs_rpool_filesys_zones="mountpoint=/zones quota=200g reservation=200g"
(incidentally, you don't need to put zfs_pools="rpool" as JET assumes this automatically.)
So, if you want to alter the properties of /var and /export, the syntax you used would work, if the module was set up to allow you to do that. (It does not currently do it, but I may update it in the future to allow it).
(Send me a direct e-mail and I can send you an updated script which should then work as expected, check my profile and you should be able to guess my e-mail address)
Alternatively, I'd suggest writing a simple script and stick it into the /opt/SUNWjet/Clients/<clientname> directory with the following lines in them:
varexportquotas:
#!/bin/sh
zfs set quota=24g rpool/export
zfs set quota=24g rpool/ROOT/10/var
and then running it in custom_scripts_1="varexportquotas"
(Or you could simply type the above commands the first time you log in after the build. :-) )

Hello Thomas,
It looks like a Solaris issue. Check if the home directory
/home is reserved in the Solaris configuration.
Check if this fix the problem please perform the following steps:
1. modify /etc/auto_master file to change the entry for '/home' to say
'/autohome' instead
2. reboot
3. rmdir /home
4. ln -s /export/home /home (make sure /export/home exists)
Also you could create soladm manually in advance.
Hope this helps,
Dolores

Low CPU utilization on Solaris

Hi all.
We've recently been performance tuning our java application running
inside of an Application Server with Java 1.3.1 Hotspot -server. We've
begun to notice some odd trends and were curious if anyone else out
there has seen similiar things.
Performance numbers show that our server runs twice
as fast on Intel with Win2K than on an Ultra60 with Solaris 2.8.
Here's the hardware information:
Intel -> 2 processors (32bit) at 867 MHz and 2 Gig RAM
Solaris -> 2 processors (64bit) at 450 MHz and 2 Gig RAM.
Throughput for most use cases in a low number of threads is twice as
fast on Intel. The only exception is some of our use-cases that are
heavily dependent on a stored procedure which runs twice as fast on
Solaris. The database (oracle 8i) and the app server run on the same
machine in these tests.
There should minor (or no) network traffic. GC does not seem to be an
issue. We set the max heap at 1024 MG. We tried the various solaris
threading models as recommended, but they have accomplished little.
It is possible our Solaris machine is not configured properly in some
way.
My question (after all that ...) is whether this seems normal to
anyone? Should throughput be higher since the processors are faster on
the wIntel box? Does the fact that the solaris processors are 64bit
have any benefit?
We have also run the HeapTest recommended on this site on both
machines. We found that the memory test performs twice as fast on
solaris, but the CPU test performs 4 times as slow on solaris. The
"joint" test performs twice as slow on solaris. Does this imply bad
things about our solaris configuration? Or is this a normal result?
Another big difference is between Solaris and Win2K in these runs is
that CPU Utilization is low on solaris (20-30%) while its much higher
on Win2K (60-70%)
[both machines are 2 processor and the tests are "primarily" single
threaded at
this stage]. I would except the solaris CPU utilization to be around
50% as well. Any ideas why it isn't?

Hi,
I recently went down this path and wound up coming to the realization that the
cpu's are almost neck and neck per cycle when running my Java app. Let me qualify
this a little more (400mhz Sparc II cpu vs 500mhz Intel cpu) under similar load
running the same test gave me similar results. It wasn't as huge difference in
performance as I was expecting.
My theory is given the scalability of the SPARC architecture, more chips==more
performance with less hardware, whereas the Wintel boxes are cheaper, but in order
to get scaling, the underlying hardware comes into question. (how many wintel
boxes to cluster, co-locate, manage, etc…)
From what little I've found out when running tests against our Solaris 8 (E-250's)
400mhz UltraSparc 2's is that it appears that the CPU performance in a lightly
threaded environment is almost 1 cycle / 1 cycle (SPARC to Intel). I don't think
the 64 bit SPARC architecture will buy you anything for java 1.3.1, but if your
application has some huge memory requirements, then using 1.4.0(when BEA supports
it) should be beneficial (check out http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/performance.guide.html).
If your application is running only a few threads, tying the threads to the LWP
kernel processes probably won't gain you much. I noticed that it decreased performance
for a test with only a few threads.
I can't give you a good reason as to why your Solaris CPU utilization is so low,
you may want to try getting a copy of Jprobe and profiling Weblogic and your application
to see where your bottlenecks are. I was able to do this with our product, and
found some nasty little performance bugs, but even with that our CPU utilization
was around 98% on a single and 50% on a dual.
Also, take a look at iostat / vmstat and see if your system is bottlenecking doing
io operations. I kept a background process of vmstat to a log and then looked
at it after my test and saw that my cpu was constantly pegged out (doing a lot
of context switching), but that it wasn't doing a whole lot of page faults
(had enough memory).
If you're doing a lot of serialization, that could explain slow performance as
well.
I did follow a suggestion on this board of running my test several times with
the optimizer (-server) and it boosted performance on each iteration until a plateau
on or about the 3rd test.
If you're running Oracle or another RDBMS on your Solaris machine you should see
a pretty decent performance benchmark against NT as these types of applications
are more geared toward the SPARC architecture. From what I've seen running Oracle
on Solaris is pretty darn fast when compared to Intel.
I know that I tried a lot of different tweaks on my Solaris configuration (tcp
buffer size, etc/system parameters for file descriptors, etc.) I even got to the
point where I wanted
to see how WebLogic was handling the Nagle algorithm as far as it's POSIX muxer
was concerned and ran a little test to see how they were setting the sockets (setTcpNoDelay(Boolean)
on java.net.Socket). They're disabling the Nagle algorithm so that wasn't an
issue sigh. My best advice would be to profile your application and see where
the bottlenecks are, you might be able to increase performance, but I'm not too
sure. I also checked out www.spec.org and saw some of their benchmarks that
coincide with our findings.
Best of luck to you and I hope this helps :)

How to configure Ip address if unable to login error is occur through Hyper

I am a new user of sun Solaris 10 . In my sun fire v490 server every thing is configured fine there is no fault in booting .But when I configured the file /etc/inet/hosts in solaris 10 and missed to configure the file /etc/inet/netmask and /etc/inet/ipnodes, due to which server is not allow me to login there is an error occur " unable to login" . Now what is the other way to login into server console. I am entering in the console using normal mode, should I try to login in using diagnostic mode., or is there any other way to login into and modify the file. I also need training videos of solaris configuration .
Help in this regard will be highly appreciable.

you should try to boot in single mode
1) start server, when boot process begins (after memory checks), do a STOP + A on the Sun keyboard. you should be on prompt "Ok" (OBP)
2) on Ok prompt, type : "boot -s"
and tell us what happened.

Boot into Solaris without keyboard

May I know how I can boot into multi-session mode successfully without having my computer connected to a keyboard in x86?
I have already tuned BIOS setting. The setting left to tune should be in Solaris configuration.
Thanks!

Ok, I figured it out.
The bluetooth settings in system preferences were set to search for a keyboard.
So I unchecked the "Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup when no input device is present" setting.

Unable to create node /home/ SID adm with type directory

I am currently experiencing a problem when trying to install a Java Stack onto my new SCM 7.0 EHP1 server.
I receive the error:
System call failed. Error 89......mkdir..../home/djdadm....
(djd is the SID of my new Java AS)
This is followed by an error:
Unable to create node /home/djdadm with type directory
We have Solaris v10 (SPARC), and the ABAP stack has already been installed successfully.
The user djdadm was created manually on solaris before starting the installation (assigned to groups sapsys, dba, sapinst + oper) and the home directory "/usr/sap/DJD/home" was specified.
Note the difference in the home directory that it is trying to create to the one that we set against the new user djdadm.
This error is experienced quite early in when SAPINST is performing the tasks (and it stops at the Create users for SAP system stage).
I was experiencing a problem where SAPINST crashed completely for a while, so I've downloaded the latest version of SAPINST today. Also, I've set a new TEMP folder and am running SAPINST from there, but am stuck at the problem mentioned above.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Problems with maintaining session state using mod_ose

I am using 9i AS(version 1.0.2.0) and oracle 8i(version 815).
Because i need to maintain client sessions for my application, I
have activated mod_ose(for stateful session). As suggested in
the oracle documentation, i created a package containing
variables for which state needs to be maintain per client. The
state is maintained by the app server but it is not maintained
properly. All the new clients that connect to the app server
share the same session variable values. If I change a package
variable value from one client, other clients take the same
value.
Any solution?
Suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks in advance.

We installed oracle9i AS on solaris, configured OSE and the
problem is not occuring now. Not sure whether its solaris that
worked or 9i AS had some problem on NT machine earlier.

Sharad

Apache2, PHP, MySQL Help

Hi,
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie thing todo but I am not too good with solaris configuration yet.
Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...
Thanks Rob

Can anyone supply a decent step by step and easy
tutorial/how-to on how to set up Apache, PHP, MySQL
and PHPmyadmin on a SPARC solaris 10 box please...Setting up Apache is very easy since all it takes is setting it up. Its installed by default, you can check /etc/apache for an example configuration file. Next to that www.apache.org/docs/ is also a very valuable read.
<blunt SPAM>
You could also consider looking into the Java webserver (formely SunONE). Its currently being made available for free with the Java Enterprise System and compares very well to Apache. If you'll also be doing some Java it would be a better choice (IMO its a better choice than Tomcat) and it can also do PHP.
http://www.sun.com/software/products/web_srvr/home_web_srvr.xml
http://www.zend.com/sun/?article=/sun/index.php&kind=&id=6179&open=1&anc=0&view=1
http://www.php.net/
</SPAM>
As you'll note I included the PHP website because with the above setup you'd also need to manually setup PHP. If you have the companion CD present you can install the PHP module which will end up on /opt/sfw/apache. This directory will also present you a php.ini example which will need to be placed in /etc/apache as well. Setting it up is basicly following the documentation in the ini file, and the Apache documentation on adding an extra module (/opt/sfw/apache/libexec/libphp4.so).
MySQL. Also very easy since its shipped with Solaris as well. Look into /etc/sfw/mysql for a README which covers the most essential steps to set it up. In short you'll need to setup a few directories for MySQL to work and optionally (but recommended) copy the default config file to /etc (/etc/my.cnf) which will define certain basic settings. The readme explains. Next you're likely to need the MySQL guide (if you're new with MySQL) which can be located at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/index.html.
This applies to the version (close enough anyway) which is shipped with Solaris. From personal experience I can say that MySQL 5 will also run very well on Solaris 10.
Finally the PHPMyadmin... That really is an RTFM issue, once you have your environment setup (Apache and the likes) its likely you only need to copy it to your document root and point your browser to it.
Hopes this helps somewhat.

Login problem in sun fire V490 through Hyper terminal

I am a new user of sun Solaris 10 . In my sun fire v490 server every thing is configured fine there is no fault in booting .But when I configured the file /etc/inet/hosts in solaris 10 and missed to configure the file /etc/inet/netmask and /etc/inet/ipnodes, due to which server is not allow me to login there is an error occur " unable to login" . Now what is the other way to login into server console. I am entering in the console using normal mode, should I try to login in using diagnostic mode., or is there any other way to login into and modify the file. I also need training videos of solaris configuration .
Help in this regard will be highly appreciable.

I don't think the test-scsi command is viable for that platform.
The FC disks are "viewed" by the system as external to the SCSI controller, almost as if they were in a multi-pack.
They are FC drives addressed by the chipset as SCSI disks.
Try:
<pre>probe-scsi-all</pre>
Edit:
Which release of Solaris 10 are you trying to install?
Older releases that might be fine for V480's won't work on V490's.

I suspect some JET config errors [DHCP], but since it was autoprovisioned by N1, I am reluctant to go changing things manually. Any help is greatly appriciated.

Just like the OSP plugin, I can't find spsra (SUNWspsra?) (if such a thing exists) Anyone know where it is? (this was my post a year ago, and so I am not sure what I meant by "import" :-)
