Solaris 10 + Cygwin Xwin on a headless system

I'm getting the following error when I connect from a PC using "C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -query hostname -fullscreen -fp tcp/hostname:7100". My version of Cygwin is 1.5.9. Do I need to upgrade? ...Is this a known problem?
Error activating XKB configuration.
Probably internal libxklavier or gnome-settings-daemon problem.
X server version data:

If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
- The result of xprop -root |grep XKB
- The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherials/keyboard/xkb
Thanks!

Agreed. I also am suffering from this problem and we will not be using Solaris 10 on many of our systems until it is resolved.
Has anyone officially lodged a bug report with SUN?
Does anyone know if they are working on a patch or solution?
Would anyone from SUN care to respond?
This problem makes Solaris 10 on SPARC useless for anyone who requires XDMCP access for their users, which would constitute a significant percentage of users.
It also is quite embarassing for SUN. You can't tout a wonderful new look GUI to compete against Linux and Windows and then have it not work! Most SPARC boxes are not on peoples desks, they a larger shared machines, hence this problem is a showstopper.

Imaging in Headless Systems!

Is there any way for imaging in Headless Systems WITHOUT using the libawt.so.6 library and any other X-Windows library (ex. Non-GUI UNIX or LINUX )
Any post is appreciated
Regards,
Moh'd Saleem

I'm running Debian Linux without loading any X-Windows libraries. This is maybe the point that I miss. It works, but you have to load a set of Z-Windows libraries... in other words, when the headless mode is false. So i think the headless mode is not portaple

Is solaris 10 a 32 bit operating System?

This might have a been stupid question,i am sure.
Is solaris 10 a 32 bit operating System?

For SPARC platforms Solaris 7, Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 was both 32 and 64 bits.
Solaris 2.6 and earlier were only 32 bits.
Solaris 10 and later are only 64 bits.
Thats for SPARC, for x86 i guess that Solaris 9 or 10 was the first one with 64 bit support, but i'm not certain.

Solaris 7 Software Installation on x86 System Problem

Experienced error message "disk not found" just prior to Solaris execution of final installation process. This was during Interactive installation. Also recieved "cannot determine boot device name". Could not use set env command in order to set the boot device. It is telling us that there is no boot device set up. Need some information/commands that will enable me to get over this problem and complete the software installation.
This could very well be a simple fix, I just don't have the knowledge bas eto effect it. Please contact at [email protected] or 540 657-6585.
Thanks

I hope this can help you. I recently posted the similar question on the development group and got help from 'agood214' which I think is the best answer.
(All credit should be to agood214)
Okay, here's the followup and results for my install method.
1. It worked
2. Partition magic and Boot magic are not needed to make this happen.
3. Partition and boot magic do not recognize the solaris partitions on the second master IDE. In fact they give an error ( #110) and offer to "fix" the dirve which will corrupt the install of Solaris.
4. I had scanned the newsgroups and found a utiliuty called XOSL - Extended Operating System Loader at http://www.xosl.org it works like and absolute charm!
=== Other installation notes - mostly my machine is not on the Hardware Comaptibility List but I figured I'd give it a try. System is a K6-III 450 Mhz ( not on HCL) Iwill XA-100A Plus motherboard ( not on HCL ) Sblive PCI valueboard ( not on HCL ) Siig high speed serial board - PCI (not on HCL) Diamond 56k PCI modem ( not on HCL ) I had to remove the modem and serial card as well as dispable PnP in the BIOS.
Then everything loaded pretty normal.
====
agood214 was using two physical drivers, but I tried on one 13 GB Hard Drive with 4 partitions (Solaris7, Win98, Win2000, data-partition) and working beautifully. In my case, I didn't have to disable anything in the BIOS to get them work. Just read though the manual in XOSL if you want to use this boot-loader and it is very easy to install. NOTE: you can not use 'instant boot' in XOSL to boot with the combination of WIN-OS and Solaris. Besides it, everything is prefect.

Solaris 10 Install - with Sun Java System Application Server (8.2)

Hi guys:
What is the reason for Solaris 10 to be installed with the Sun Java System Application Server (8.2). It is a really old version and gets in the way when I install GlassFish 2.1.1
How does on avoid getting it in the install, and how does Sun stop adding it to the distribution?
Thanks
Leonid

Solaris 10 Install problem on headless E250

I have tried a number of times to get the latest download to install on my headless E250 using the text installer. Most times it installs the 1st cd then reboots only to report that "the file just loaded does not appear to be executable". This is taking the default options, installing the full version, using autolayout on 2x9GB drives.
I've upgraded openboot to 3.30 I've tried installing it on different 18GB drives - I either get the same message, or the boot fails with a read-only filesystem error.
Anyone had similar problems that can point me in the right direction...
JJ

Anytime i've seen that kind of error is when there is a problem with some settings in the PROM on the system.
If you do your STOP+A to get to the OK prompt.
Next to a 'printenv' a look to see what the values are for 'boot-device' and 'diag-device'. The values normally look something like 'disk' or 'disk net'. If you install the root partition on slice 0 then the value 'disk' is fine, if you install the root partition on slice 1 the the value 'disk:b' should be there.
It might be worth trying a 'set-defaults' which will reset the PROM back to it's default values, and try the install again.
Hope this is of some use
Mick.

Solaris 10 installs 32bit on 64bit system

Weird, solaris 10 can't detect my amd atlhon 64 as being a 64 bit processor so it installs 32bit.

I'm still trying to get a bunch of X4100s to boot but I am seeing a "solaris 32 bit" message during the first part of the boot process, then I lose access to the KVM and serial port :-(
So I don't know if my system is even booting or not (yet.)
Assuming your system boots all the way, what does "/usr/bin/isainfo -kv" say?

System Copy Questions R/3 4.6c + Oracle + Solaris

dear gurus
goal system copy in R/3 4.6c + Oracle + Solaris
I am doing the db export using R3SETUP (quite slow, I have optimize it using split SRT files method)
I have questions here..
when I do export I download latest R3szchk, R3load, R3SETUP, R3check, R3LDCTL
I download from
Support Packages and Patches - Archive - Additional Components - SAP Kernel -SAP KERNEL 64-BIT - SAP KERNEL 4.6D 64-BIT
R3szchk, R3load, R3check, R3LDCTL using SAPEXEDB_2364-10001132.SAR (Kernel Part II for Stack Q1-2008)
R3SETUP using R3SETUP_29-10001132.CAR
source system : Oracle 8.1.7 - R/3 4.6C - Solaris 9
my question is
target system : Oracle 10.0.2 with patches - R/3 4.6C - Solaris 10
later on when i do import to target system, should I use the same kernel when I do the export, or should I use the one from
Support Packages and Patches -> Additional Components -> SAP Kernel -> SAP KERNEL 64-BIT -> SAP KERNEL 4.6D_EX2 64-BIT
another question
how to speed up the export ? i am stucked with bottle neck in IO, CPU usage is very low, please dont recommend me something related to hardware or disk architecture, if possible recommend me something related to Oracle parameter.
disk IO using IO stat showing 100% busy and service time 800-1500
thanks !

Yes - use that one. It uses the Oracle instantclient instead of the old 9.2 client. Make sure you add "-loadprocedure fast" to the load options, this will enable the fastloader.
Make also sure you install all the patchsets and interim patches BEFORE you start the data load.

Solaris 10 u8 system did not update daylight savings time

I am running Solaris 10 u8 x86, and my system did not update for the daylight savings time change on Nov. 1, 2009. I am in the US/Mountain time zone. What should I do?
Patch 141517-04 is installed, I assume it came with u8.
Does this have something to with JAVA Time Zone updater? I saw this:
http://java.sun.com/javase/timezones/tzdata_versions.html
Shouldn't u8 take care of all this automatically? Do I have to somehow get TZUT 1.3.20? By contacting support? What?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, I'm running 64-bit Solaris as a VirtualBox (3.0.10) guest VM on a 32-bit WinXP host.

Backup solutions for Solaris 10 systems

I am trying to put together a backup solution for a number of SunFire V240 systems running Solaris 10. We do run our backups using NetWorker, along with a couple of high powered back up systems. But this solution I am trying to create is something that can be performed by our first responders, our help desk folks. The systems in question are already in production but we do have days where we can bring them down for maintenance or whatever we need to do. Therefore, I can implement this new solution during the day(s) of maintenance time.
I was looking at using Solaris Volume Manager and its metadata configurations. But I am unsure how to start with files sytems already created. I want to be able to have a backup of the boot disk in the event that the hard drive in which it resides goes down. I want our help desk folks be able to immediately bring the system right back up with little down time during the evening to late hours.
I guess what I am looking for are exact steps to help configure this backup solution with Solaris Volume Manager for our production systems. Can anyone help?

Hey there,
Have a look at this excellent guide. I think that you may find what you need here. If not drop an email back. To begin with you need an extra disk(s) since you will mirror your data. This is sort of a pre-requisite.
Good luck,
Pierre

you must install an intermediate BE with updated pkg.
This is described as the standard procedure when upgrading from 11.0 to 11.1.

Installing BIBeans on 9iAS 9.0.3 Solaris 8

I was reading in http://otn.oracle.com/products/bib/htdocs/installation/installing_bibeans.html regarding install of BIBeans on UNIX environments that require an X server or XVFB on a "headless" box. Is this the case on Sun V240's? That's what I'm assuming.
The readme continues to detail that there is no problems with generating images on "headless" boxes when using JDK 1.4.x since it supports headless environments with the following option to the JVM: ' -Djava.awt.headless=true '
What doesn't make sense to me is whether all of this is necessary in a web application (JSP/Servlet returning a BIBean Presentation) running on 9.0.3 of OC4J in 9iAS on Solaris 8 (V240).
9.0.3 is running J2EE 1.3.x which uses the 1.3.x JDK. This begs the question of whether 9iAS (OC4J 9.0.3) needs to use JDK 1.4.x (or XVFB) to enable graphic generation of Presentations in a web app on UNIX (Solaris 8)?
Thanks,
Laith E.H.

The Web applications hosted on iAS/OC4J using Beans Presentations do require XServer (or XVFB) on Solaris (all versions of the operating system) box as long as the underlying Java runtime (The Java runtime used to start OC4J) is 1.3.X based.
The XServer is not required (-Djava.awt.headless=true is required however) when using J2SE 1.4.
Thanks

Emulex lp1150 in Solaris 10

I have installed Solaris 10 version 08/07 onto system HP DL385G1 with Fibre Channel Card - Emulex LP1150
Is Emulex LP1150 supported in solaris 10 ?
I saw Sun HCL and Emulex supoort, but didn't find drivers for Solaris 10 on this FC Card.
Help me!!!
How do I get my FC to work (Is it possible? What steps do I need to follow? )
Thank you in advance for your answers...

Hi Sugunakar,
There are a few small things I can think of checking:
I am trying to install SMC on solaris 10What version of Solaris 10 are you using? You need 11/06 (aka "Update 3") or later. Also, it looks like this is on a V210: how much memory and swap do you have ([requirements here|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/deployment-72?l=en&a=view])? And have you [edited your /etc/project file|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2216/chapter2-1000?l=en&a=view] to adjust the shared memory settings?
Have you applied any of the [patch sets|http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=104]?
smcdatabase service is always in maintenance mode.It would be interesting to see what that service log says. Look in /var/svc/log/application-management-sunmcdatabase:default.log for clues.
/var/opt/SUNWsymon/install/guibased-setup.1285765588453.sh: /var/opt/SUNWsymon/db/data/SunMC/pg_hba.conf: cannot createIs there any reason why SunMC may not be able to write to /var (or /var/opt/SUNWsymon)? Maybe portions of /var are read-only (shared from a global zone, or over NFS)?

Installed flash disk does not boot (Solaris 10 on Fore CPU-50 VME cpu-card)

Greetings,
After installation of Solaris on a system with a flask disk as system disk, the disk is not bootable.
Configuration:
System: Fore CPU-50 VME cpu-card (sparc50)
OS: Solaris 10 (Sparc version, CD-media)
System-disk: ADTRON S35FA-8GC20N Smart Storage 3.5 SCSI Flash pack.
          (configured as c0t1d0)
Error message at boot:
Cant read disk label
Cant open disk label package
When I mount the installed disk on another system I can read and inspect the flash disk.
The logging files begin.log, finish.log and install_log in the /var/sadm/system/logs/ directory dont mention any errors during installation phase.
The logging file /var/sadm/system/logs/install_log begins with:
Configuring disk
-     Creating Solaris disk label (VTOC)
Creating and checking UFS filesystems
-     Creating / (c0t1d0s0)
-     etc.
This install_log file ends with:
Installing boot information
-     Installing boot blocks (c0t1d0s0)
-     Updating system firmware for automatic rebooting
How can I make this flash disk bootable?
Thanks,
Herm

It's a G3 with the integrated 5 i Smart array
controller. There are driver updates for Sol 10 on
the HP side. Just filter for OS. There you get the 5i
driver !
