Solaris 10 Ethernet & Serial Board Details

On Solaris 10 x86 Machine with update 2 OS Version
Is there any command or way to get Hardware Details like
Ethernet Board & Serial Board, I used prtconf -V | grep -i nge
to get Network details but i could not find any way to get External Ethernet Board vendor or ethernet board name
Similar is the case with Serial Board
Please update if any one has details on this issue
Moreover update 2 OS version doesnt have prtdiag support

Thanks for Quick reply
I tested the same binary but it doesnt give me complete information as prtdiag used to give, Please find the below written script to check ethernet information
can any one help me to achieve same as this
::::::::::::Script:::::::::
TESTSTATUS=0     
searchString="(network-pci108e,abba)|(network-pci100b,35)"
nbslotstr=`/usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag | /bin/egrep $searchString | /bin/awk '{print $4}' | wc -l`
nbslot=`expr $nbslotstr`
if [ $nbslot -eq 0 ]
then
TESTSTATUS=2
Err "Extra Ethernet board is not installed."
else
if [ $nbslot -eq 1 ]
then
searchEthernetstr=`/usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag | /bin/grep network-pci108e,abba | /bin/awk '{print $4}' | wc -l`
searchAltEthernetstr=`/usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag | /bin/grep network-pci100b,35 | /bin/awk '{print $4}' | wc -l`
searchEthernet=`expr $searchEthernetstr`
searchAltEthernet=`expr $searchAltEthernetstr`
if [ $searchEthernetstr -eq 1 ]
then
EthernetBoardName=X3150A
EthernetBridge=network-pci108e,abba
EthernetSlot=0
fi
if [$searchAltEthernetstr -eq 1 ]
then
EthernetBoardName=X4150A-2
EthernetBridge=network-pci100b,35
EthernetSlot=0
fi
else
EthernetBoardName=X2222A
fi
fi
Actually we use 2 ethernet cards and we detect on which ethernet card and slot our system is correct and using this script we check the same thing
Please help me out in completion

    Hi Kevin,
    The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired.  For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

  • Can we replace an old serial board with a new one found available on your site?

    So.. we are using Lookout 5.0 to operate a plant, and we have a PCI SERIAL RS 232/485 ISOLATED 2 PORTS board, with the code 185726C-02 printed on that board, which is used to comunicate with some solenoids modules. I search your site for a replacement for that board, and I found the PCI-8433/2 board which seems to be compatible. Question: is it ok to use this board instead the old one with Lookout 5 if we update the NI SERIAL drivers from your site?
    Thanks in advance ..
    Eddie Zack

    Make sure the site folder created by iWeb is named exactly the same as the site folder currently on the server.

  • Ultra sparc IIe insalling solaris with serial console

    I bought a sparc and I'm trying to install solaris 10. It came with solaris installed on a 15gb hard drive, and I want to replace the hard drive.
    As it came, when I boot, it says that no keyboard was detected and that ttya will be used for input/output. Then X starts and I can use the USB keyboard and mouse.
    When attempting to install, with a blank hard drive installed, I get the same message, then the screen goes black. So, I've hooked up a terminal emulator running on linux (cutecom), and I can see messages on the console, but I can't seem to get a prompt. It says OpenBoot etc. then bad magic number in disk label, then "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet" over and over.
    Is there some key stroke I need to send to get a prompt? I've tried various keystrokes.

    yes. do you have the install media (cd/dvd)? if so, at the ok prompt type: boot cdrom -s
    you will get # prompt and can label the disk using format. once that is done, you can do init 0. at ok prompt do
    boot cdrom - nowinMy question is: how do I get to the prompt? Is there a keystroke I must send? I don't get a prompt. I had tried typing "boot cdrom - text" and I get no response.

  • Serial vs Ethernet communication for gas analyzers

    I need to control several Thermo gas analyzers through LabVIEW and each has an RS-232 port and an ethernet port. Has anyone does this kind of thing before? I just want to get a sense of which would be easier for programming and communication purposes. 

    First, have you done a search for an existing driver? You can go to the Tools menu and select Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers. The main page for drivers is the Instrument Driver Network where you can also do a serch and find resources on what a driver is and how to create one. With the VISA api, you can create a driver that will handle both serial and ethernet (or USB, GPIB, etc) with very little extra work. Look at the example driver that comes with LabVIEW - the Agilent 34401. This instrument has GPIB, Ethernet, Serial, and USB options. The only thing in the driver that is specific to a specific interface is one case statement in the Initialize function. VISA abstracts all of the differences in physical interfaces.

  • 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.

  • How to implement Modbus Ethernet communicat​ion in Lookout, if we want to simulate the PC as PLC ?

    Problem Description :
    Dear Sir,
    We are doing a project where we are using Lookout with
    Front end Modicon PLC. The communication is by
    Ethernet, using Modbus.
    Since the installation is at a distant place, we wanted
    to use another PC (running Lookout) to simulate the
    PLC. For this, we tried to communicate
    a: the server Lookout PC running Modbus Ethernet mode of
    Modbus object as Master
    b: with another PC (for simulating the PLC) running
    Modbus Slave
    We did not get any communication. (we have given the
    details of what we have done, at the end of this email)
    We also tried connecting the above 2 PC's as
    a: the server Lookout PC running Modbus Serial mode of
    Modbus object as Master
    b: with another PC (for simulating the PLC) running
    Modbus Slave object
    Again we did not get any communication.
    If instead of PC (b) we connect the Modbus simulator to
    PC (a), there is no problem in communicating
    Please let us know how to go about establishing the
    communication between 2 PC's using Modbus serial,
    and Modbus Ethernet. A detailed step by step procedure
    would help us a lot.
    Thanking you
    Warm Regards

    Procedure of our trial with ethernet.
    This is what we have done in detail.
    On PC A:
    We created an object (Pot) and connected it to
    the modbus data member of the modbus object say 40001. In the
    properties of the modbus object we selected modbus ethernet mode
    of communication and in the IP address field we wrote the IP
    address of the machine B to which we are trying to communicate
    i.e. 152.63.50.2.
    On PC B: we tried the following two methods
    Trial 1 : We created a modbus slave object and
    inserted an expression for the same data memeber to which the
    object was connected hoping to get the value of the pot of machine
    A on machine B.
    Trial 2 : We created a modbus object on machine B and we wrote
    the IP address of machine A and inserted an expression for the
    same datamemeber to which the object was connected hoping to get
    the value of the pot of machine A on machine B.

    The ModbusSlave which comes with Lookout currently supports only Serial communication. So, you cannot use Ethernet between your two PCs. At least not with Modbus Master-Slave setup (if you must speak Ethernet between the two PCs, IPASCII object lets you do that, but then you'll need to implement your own protocol).
    Since all you want to do is simulate a Modbus PLC on a PC, you can use the Serial mode of communication for now. And later on just modify the Object in your Server Lookout to use the Ethernet mode.
    For setting up a Serial Modbus Slave, use a null-modem cable between the two PCs (lines 2 and 3 are swapped). On your PC 'B,' create the Modbus Slave object with the right COM port for that PC. And on your PC 'A' create the regular Modbus Object as if you w
    ere connecting to the Modbus Simulator box. The only difference here is the cable. The simulator box uses a straight-through cable whereas the Slave needs a null-modem cable.
    Hope this helps.

  • Automatic generation of serial numbers on production (manufactured) items

    Scenario:
    A company manufactures a specific product from a production BOM.  On completion of the production order, each physical item requires a serial (incrementing each time for that Item Code) and batch number (relating to the date manufactured) assigned to it and a serial number sticker printed for each product on completion of the production order before the units go in to stock.
    Would this be possible in SBO?

    Hi   Gustav Barnard
    I am explaining the whole process with the example of  COMPUTER  , If  I am wrong please make me correct by by correcting the example  ok
    5 types of PCu2019s
    1.     1GB RAM 80 GB HDD    PC
    2.     1 GB RAM 120 HDD        NOTEBOOK
    3.     1 GB RAM 180 HDD        NOTEBOOK
    4.     2GB RAM 180 HDD           PC
    5.     3 GB RAM 350 HDD       NOTEBOOK
    OK
    Now as far as my understanding you want series number <product type identifier><Unique Serial> so it should be NOTEBOOK /296333.
    OK
    1.     FOR this you can give the series number to parent item that is 1GB RAM 80 GB HDD    PC not to the CPU ,KEY BOARD ,MONITOR  etc  like give the series like PC /80000
    2.     FOR another PC give it like PC/1800000 ( I am giving it according to the HDD of PC)
    3.     FOR 1 GB RAM 180 HDD        NOTEBOOK /18000000
    4.     For  1 GB RAM 120 HDD        NOTEBOOK / 1200000
    5.     For 3 GB RAM 350 HDD       NOTEBOOK / 350000
    OK
    I think you want according to type  , like for all PC you want PC/1200000 and so on
    Right !
    But it is not possible to set it by item group vise  or for a group of item same running series Numbering series and batch number is purely according to item vise that is this is available in item master data not in item group , you have to do it manually or by checking the last series make the next of it in series of that item or u can give what ever you want and then manage it in serial number management and serial number details . please check it .
    Please let me know if I am still wrong
    So that I can help you

  • NI Serial Port / Eurotherm Temperature Controller

    NI Serial Port / Eurotherm Temperature Controller
    I am using a N.I. AT 232/4 board with four additional N.I. serial ports. First of all, after installing Windows NT (before I was using Windows 98) the NI Serial Port Diagnostics Program was not able to detect any of the ports even though the ports are correctly installed within Windows. When I was still using Windows 98 the NI Serial Port Diagnostics Program was able to detect all the four ports. Is it necessary that the diagnostics program detects the ports in order to use them with Lab View? I have also two regular Serial ports, which have never been detected by the diagnostics program, but I should still be able to use them with Lab view as well? D
    oes the NI Serial Port Diagnostics Program not function with Windows NT? Do you have an update version for Windows NT?
    I�m trying to control a Eurotherm 2416 and 903 Temperature Controller with two serial ports. Unfortunately, Eurotherm does not give support anymore about Lab View drivers for their Controllers, since they have developed their own Automation Program (iTools) now. I still want to control the Eurotherm Controller with Lab View via the serial port. Do you still have the driver VI�s for the 2416 and 903? It would be nice if you could send me the Eurotherm divers also along with some documentation.
    There is already a question posted about Eurotherm Controller (Eurotherm Temperature Controller not Functioning with NI Serial Board). It is probably a similar problem unfortunately the solution did not bring the right success. Therefore, I would like to ask you to specify the so-called 4-Wire mode.
    Thank You very much for Your help!
    Sincerely,

    NI-Serial 1.45 does not install correctly on Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition. The driver (serial.sys), configuration utility (niports.cpl), and inf file (niserial.inf) are installed incorrectly to the user profiles directory.
    A workaround is to copy the files to the right folders which is detailed shortly.
    Definition: "%windows%" refers to the operating system folder. Note: The default operating system folder for this version of Windows is "Wtsrv".
    serial.sys - %windows%\system32\drivers
    niports.cpl - %windows%\system32
    niserial.inf - %windows%\inf
    Note: "niserial.inf" does not need to be copied unless an AT card is being used.
    The above files can either be obtained from the installation CD in the WinNT folder or from the hard-disk locations that they were
    incorrectly installed to which are detailed shortly. Note: Leaving the incorrectly installed files where they are will not harm the system. Definition: "%userid%" refers to the ID that was used when logging in to Windows.
    serial.sys - %windows%\Profiles\%userid%\Windows\system32\drivers
    niports.cpl - %windows%\Profiles\%userid%\Windows\system32
    niserial.inf - %windows%\Profiles\%userid%\Windows\inf
    For the newly copied driver to take effect the system must be rebooted.
    As for the instrument drivers, you can search our instrument driver site to try to find them. Go to "other driver resources" at the link below.
    http://zone.ni.com/idnet/
    For more information on the 4-wire mode, see chapter 6 of the "Serial Hardware and Software for Windows User Manual". I have included a link to the manual.

  • Satellite P200D-11L - VGA Board is dead

    Hello,
    My VGA board on my Satellite P200D just died. It has been overheating for a while with several sudden shut downs but I have got the final one. This model has very bad cooling, the design was very underestimated. I thought there was dirt inside but when I took it apart there were none. It was clean. The cooling paste was gone but clean.
    Does anybody know what video card is compatible with my laptop and where can I get a cheap replacement ?
    My laptop serial number : Satellite P200D-11L, S/N: 97397677K
    My VGA board details : VGA BOARD M76 256 S/N: K000056620
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    I am sure that for this model there are several option in terms of vga card but I do not know where I can get this info.
    How do you use your laptop ? what application are you running? are you gaming ?
    I played games occasionally but the problems with the heating was even on the start up, the fan was spinig like mad all time with no application running, just windows. A friend of mine have this laptop and he got his vga card already replaced, we bought them at the same time. I also searched thru web and found many discussion about this laptpos cooling, and it really has this kind of problem.
    I took the laptop apart and removed vga card, it is a separate piece, you do not have to change whole mainboard. That was also one of the reasons I bought this laptop.
    I tried ebay but I am not willing to pay 250 USD for a vga card.

  • Is there any way to still upgrade from final cut 5 to final cut 7 using my original serial number?

    Hi there,
    I had my macbook pro 15inch(2010 model) stolen a week ago. I was running on Snow Leopard, and I used Final Cut 5.
    I am a bit out of touch with how much the technology and upgrades have changed (don't chastise me for it!), and have discovered that any new laptop I buy will come with the Mavericks operating system, which obviously won't allow my FCP5 to run.
    I have also been told that I can't simply upgrade to a newer version of FCP, but that I would have to purchase the entire suite again, and that would mean purchasing FCPX, which I would prefer not to buy because of all the changes that it brought to the program.
    First of all, is it standard procedure to have to purchase entire suites all over again once each new version is brought out? I was under the impression that once purchased, you could upgrade, seeing as you had made the commitment of spending the money in the first place. Apologies if this is a terribly daft question, but I would appreciate the assistance!
    Secondly, if I don't want to upgrade to FCPX, does anyone know if there is a way to still upgrade to FCP7, either by purchasing it or updating it using my serial number details from FCP5? I bought it legitimately and I'm trying to find out if there is a way to avoid spending thousands all over again!
    Your help would be appreciated:)

    It been a while, but I believe you just need the serial number of FC 5 for the FCS 3 installer. If I were you, I would verify that over at the Final Cut Studio forum before purchasing the update disks.
    I just checked Amazon and there is a $600 difference in the update and full versions; they list (one) unopened upgrade boxed set at $795 while an unopened set of the full version currently is proced at $1295 (a $300 premium over the price Apple used to charge!).
    Something you might want to ponder: the question of how much to invest in a suite of software that is no longer being supported by Apple. Even though I'm able to run FCP 7 and its related  apps largely without issues on Mavericks, who knows how long or well that will work in the future?
    Also, if you're at all curious about whether the changes you mentioned in FCP X are value-added or not, you can always download the trial version and find out first hand. If you do, invest a little time with some of a few tutoirals offered by by a variety of highly regarded FCP X intructors. You might be pleasantly surprised.
    Good luck.

  • Serial number not updated in 1Q09 report

    Hi All,
    We have done a mvt type 282 for a material with 96 serial numbers. Out of this 96, only 77 have gotten updated to the required plant. The other 12 have not been assigned a plant eventhough the material document states the plant clearly.
    Please advice how to sory this issue.
    Regards,
    Savindi

    Hi,
    Please cross check the Serial number details sent to network while doing 281 movement. and go to ITOB stucture or in SERI table and see whether same serial numbers present for the material you have entered ?
    go to IQ03  and check the plant and status of serial number lying at.
    Regards,

  • I pull fiftyfour bytes of data from MicroProcessor's EEPROM using serial port. It works fine. I then send a request for 512 bytes and my "read" goes into loop condition, no bytes are delivered and system is lost

    I pull fiftyfour bytes of data from MicroProcessor's EEPROM using serial port. It works fine. I then send a request for 512 bytes and my "read" goes into loop condition, no bytes are delivered and system is lost

    Hello,
    You mention that you send a string to the microprocessor that tells it how many bytes to send. Instead of requesting 512 bytes, try reading 10 times and only requesting about 50 bytes at a time.
    If that doesn�t help, try directly communicating with your microprocessor through HyperTerminal. If you are not on a Windows system, please let me know. Also, if you are using an NI serial board instead of your computer�s serial port, let me know.
    In Windows XP, go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, and select HyperTerminal.
    Enter a name for the connection and click OK.
    In the next pop-up dialog, choose the COM port you are using to communicate with your device and click OK.
    In the final pop
    -up dialog, set the communication settings for communicating with your device.
    Type the same commands you sent through LabVIEW and observe if you can receive the first 54 bytes you mention. Also observe if data is returned from your 512 byte request or if HyperTerminal just waits.
    If you do not receive the 512 byte request through HyperTerminal, your microprocessor is unable to communicate with your computer at a low level. LabVIEW uses the same Windows DLLs as HyperTerminal for serial communication. Double check the instrument user manual for any additional information that may be necessary to communicate.
    Please let me know the results from the above test in HyperTerminal. We can then proceed from there.
