Solaris 10 & Network [II]

Hi
I have a Solaris 10 SunFire V100 and am suffering from some very similar symptoms to the OP (which is how I found this place).
I am connecting to it from Windows PC using Hyper Terminal. Solaris boots on poweron from lom and I get the following errors:
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@2,0:a File and args:

I have also read the unofficial_install_x86.pdf which talks of Where is my NIC in chapter 6.1, which seems to match my problem exactly, however I cannot apply the fix, as matching the compatibility strig to etc/driver_alises isn't so easy.
Here is a snippet from prtconf -pv:
compatible: 'pci4554,434e' + 'pci128h,9102' + 'pci1282,9102' + 'pciclass,020000'

name: 'ethernet'
devsel-speed: 00000001
class-code: 00020000
And here is a line from /etc/driver_alias that matches one of the 'compatible' strings:
dmfe "pci128h,9102"
I'm stuck - don't know where else to go. Do contact me on msn/aim/icq/email/here/whatever.
Thank you.

Why are you trying to run an old obsolete pre-release version of Solaris 10?
I'd suggest that you install the final released product.

    Hello.
    I was porting another network driver to Solaris and I used GLD, too.
    I do not know which GLD version I was using. (I think not v3; module name is /kernel/misc/gld, not /kernel/misc/mac.)
    The documentation I used was "Writing Device Drivers" in the "Solaris 10" section on Sun's documentation site.
    All include files were present on Solaris 9/Sparc and OpenSolaris/x86 (I do not have Solaris 10 installed so I cannot tell you if the include files are present.)

  • Configure Solaris network on vmware

    Hi all
    I've installed solaris on vmware and now want to configure the network so that I can ping the solaris OS from outside vm (or from the different vm)
    Could you please let me know the steps of configurations?
    Thanks in advance

    Please provide the name of the network adapter on your solaris vm?
    Run dladm show-dev , this will show all network adapters.
    If you dont see any then within vmware add a network adapter on the right network to the VM then reboot the VM and run that command again.
    Then just let me know and ill proceed with next steps.

  • Solaris Network Configuration

    Hi,
    In solaris7 I am able to connect server from local network.
    But from external network, I could not.
    Where should I configure the server to allow connections from external >networks.
    Thankful to you.

    Hi,
    When you say not able to connect, generally it means ping is not working. This could be due to many reasons. Like:
    1. Firewall or router access list setup at your place.
    2. If there is no firewall, server does'nt know how to route packets to external network. In that case you need to define default route in routing table. ( /etc/defaultrouter ).
    If you need to discuss it further, please mention your e-mail address, I would contact you for resolving this problem.
    Thanks

  • Solaris network boot - a20 enable failed

    i am trying to install solaris 10 x64 on a HP proliant blade HP bl45p.
    It only supports PXE boot and for that i have setup a PXE server that assigns a DHCP address to my blade. The blade gets the IP and start to net boot but fails giving error
    A20 enable failed
    <hangs here>
    looks like there is a patch to solve this problem butnot sure how to put that patch to my cd image on the PXE server.
    any views on this??

    Which version of Solaris x86 are you installing? This isn't the GRUB based
    S10 1/2006 release, correct?
    I guess that HP proliant blade HP bl45p doesn't have a PS/2 keyboard controller
    any more (legacy free pc), and fails for a similar reason that GRUB doesn't start
    on Intel iMacs: the boot code tries to use the non-existant keyboard controller to
    toggle the gate A20, and fails:
    http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=31818#31818
    OTOH, I do see a bug report filed against the old boostrap loader boot.bin
    http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6230381
    and this appears to be fixed in S10 1/2006 . If you haven't tried S10 1/2006...
    it might work better on this HP blade hardware.
    BTW, you probably have to use a serial console, otherwise it will hang once
    again in multiboot, when no i8042 ps/2 keyboard controller is present:

  • Solaris Networking Script

    Hi everyone,
    I am charged with changing the ip addresses on 49 servers.
    Please is there a way i can automate this process via a script?
    If possible how do i go about it.
    Thanks

    Well, you probably can, but that doesn't mean you should :) At least not if you are thinking of running the script from one host in order to change the IP of all the remote host, for one thing the script would stop executing once you change its address, and if you make a mistake in your script you would then end up making a lot of hosts inaccessible.
    There are two things you have to do, change the configuration on disk and change the running configuration, the configuration on the disk is normally edited by changing the files:
    /etc/hostname.<interface>
    /etc/hosts
    /etc/defaultrouter
    /etc/netmasks
    and sometimes:
    /etc/inet/ipnodes
    To change the running configuration you would use ifconfig and route (if you have to change the default router).
    One method here could be to change the configuration files and then reboot, just to be certain that the configuration on the disk is correct.
    You could also write a script which changes both the running configuration and the files, but i would suggest that you run the script locally from the console.

  • Installing Solaris via network

    A few days ago I have got an old Sun server (Netra 1125).
    I am fairly new to Sun hardware and I wonder if there is a way to install Solaris via serial cable and a TCP/IP network (I don't have a cdrom and I don't have vga or floppies).
    I have a Linux machine nearby. Can I use BOOTP or something like that?
    Can anybody point me to some documentation?

    solaris' network install is called "jumpstart"
    searching for "solaris jumpstart linux" on google provides some pages, in particular is this one that is pretty old (references sunos4) but should work... http://www.unixpeople.com/HOWTO/jumpstart_on_linux.html

  • Odd Network Problem

    Hi,
    I have a strange network problem, can anybody help?
    Basic configuration
    I have three networks 10.190.0.0, 10.192.0.0 and 10.193.0.0 joined by a single server running Solaris 11 B64a with a dual port intel card and onboard intel card (e1000g0/g1/g2) each port is plugged into the gigabit port of a seperate Dell powerconnect switch.
    they have ip addresses of 10.190.0.2, 10.192.0.1 and 10.193.0.1
    The problem. I have connected from a remote machine through a solaris router machine on the 10.190.0.0 network to a computer on the 10.192.0.0 network (Beyond a switch).
    The terminal works fine!
    if I ping the 10.190.0.1 which is the other router beyond the box with the three network interfaces packets are not seen by the pinging box. However, if I snoop the interface on the three interface router I see both the ICMP echo requests and replies.
    After a considerable length of time 10-30 seconds, a load of the packets suddenly appear on the pinging machine and then continue normally.
    I would like to understand:
    a) where were the packets during the time between the snoop seeing them leave and them arriving at the destination?
    b) why does the terminal not suffer any delays?
    We are suffering with a lot of strange network issues at this new site and I am trying to figure out if its the new dell switches, the solaris network stack or something else entirely!
    Anybody got any idea whats going on?
    Please Help I am baffled.

    It may just be the pinging machine has received the packets, but it will not display them on screen until it has found a name for the remote IP address (or until it times out waiting for one).
    Do you get the same behavior with 'ping -n' ?

  • Question on 11.2 RAC Networking Configuration

    I have a random question regarding the network interface configuration for (specifically 11.2) an Oracle RAC requirement. Is there a requirement anywhere that states that all nodes in the cluster must have the same named interface on each distinct node serving the same purpose in order for all nodes of the cluster to communicate properly?
    Here is an example of my question - My curiosity is, is this a requirement?
    Node 1
    eth1 - 10.0.0.1 (public)
    eth1:1 10.0.0.25 (vip)
    eth2: 192.168.1.25 (priv/interconnect)
    Node 2
    eth1 10.0.0.2 (public)
    eth1:2 10.0.0.26 (vip)
    eth5: 192.168.1.35 (priv/interconnect)
    Note: eth2 is private on node 1, where eth5 is private on node 2.
    Does node 2 have to follow the same pattern where eth1 is public, and eth2 is private, or for node 2, can eth5 be assigned to the private subnet and eth1 be assigned to the public subnet?
    Odd question I know. Any means to clarify for me would be most helpful and appreciated.
    Thanks,
    CJ

    Doc 11.2.0.2 says:
    About Network Hardware Requirements
    * Public interface names must be the same for all nodes. If the public interface on one node uses the network adapter eth0, then you must configure eth0 as the public interface on all nodes. Network interface names are case-sensitive.
    * You should configure the same private interface names for all nodes as well. If eth1 is the private interface name for the first node, then eth1 should be the private interface name for your second node. Network interface names are case-sensitive.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e17264/preparing.htm#TDPRC123
    Network Hardware Requirements (Linux Installation)
    If you install Oracle Clusterware using OUI, then the public interface names associated with the network adapters for each network must be the same on all nodes, and the private interface names associated with the network adaptors should be the same on all nodes. This restriction does not apply if you use cloning, either to create a new cluster, or to add nodes to an existing cluster.
    For example: With a two-node cluster, you cannot configure network adapters on node1 with eth0 as the public interface, but on node2 have eth1 as the public interface. Public interface names must be the same, so you must configure eth0 as public on both nodes. You should configure the private interfaces on the same network adapters as well. If eth1 is the private interface for node1, then eth1 should be the private interface for node2.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17212/prelinux.htm#CWLIN209
    As the documentation says this restriction is valid when Install using the OUI, but have different interface name is supported if configured manually.
    Anyway if you are installing using the OUI you have the option to rename the interface thus like Bjoern said.
    Can We Rename a Solaris Network Interface To Fit a New Node Into an Oracle RAC ? [ID 1288614.1]
    Far as I Know using Solaris/AIX/Linux this is possible but depending on the OS and type of Kernel may not be supported.

  • Router for Solaris

    I am using a Linksys Gateway model WAG354G in my Windows PC. I am planing to buy a Dell server and install Solaris. Will my Linksys router work with Solaris? If not what product can I use with Solaris to setup a web server? I could not find any similar products listed in Solaris HCL.
    Thanks.

    Hello.
    The WAG354G should work independently of the operating system so it will work under Solaris.
    In the router configuration set "Starting IP address" to something like 192.168.1.20 so you will have 192.168.1.2...19 as fixed IP addresses. Assigning a fixed IP address to a Solaris computer is easier than using DHCP. You may also choose to use DHCP in the Solaris network settings but this will cause problems when you want to boot your computer and no network is attached.
    Define the router's IP address (typically 192.168.1.1) as default gateway in the Solaris network configuration.
    I just took a look at the WAG354G specifications and it seems to be possible to use your computer as web server.

  • Installing Intel Network Card

    Hi all,
    How do I install an Intel Network card into a solaris 9 x86 platform?
    Thank

    First of all, I do not see the nic when I run the command prtconf -v | grep pci8086That's possible, because you may have got an oem version of the intel hardware, and the vendor ID from
    someone else (let's say Compaq / HP, or Toshiba, or ... -- and not Intel) appears in the device's name.
    Have a look at the "prtconf -pv" output, search for devices with a "class-code" of "00020000" (= PCI Ethernet
    controller). The vendor-id/device-id pair of that entry should identify it as an intel gigabit nic. At this time,
    Solaris 10 x86 (b63) supports lots of variants of the intel gbit hardware:
    # grep e1000g /etc/driver_aliases
    e1000g "pci8086,1000"
    e1000g "pci8086,1001"
    e1000g "pci8086,1004"
    e1000g "pci8086,1008"
    e1000g "pci8086,1009"
    e1000g "pci8086,100d"
    e1000g "pci8086,100e"
    e1000g "pci8086,100f"
    e1000g "pci8086,1010"
    e1000g "pci8086,1011"
    e1000g "pci8086,1012"
    e1000g "pci8086,1013"
    e1000g "pci8086,1014"
    e1000g "pci8086,1015"
    e1000g "pci8086,1016"
    e1000g "pci8086,1017"
    e1000g "pci8086,1018"
    e1000g "pci8086,1019"
    e1000g "pci8086,101a"
    e1000g "pci8086,101d"
    e1000g "pci8086,101e"
    e1000g "pci8086,1026"

    use of the hardware with the solaris network driver.

  • ??? - Install CD w/ custom /boot/solaris/devicedb/master ?

    Howdy Friends:
    Any suggestion on how I might go about creating a custom Solaris 10 install CD with a modified /boot/solaris/devicedb/master file? My IDE controller isn't recognized by Solaris 10, and I need to modify the master file to include the driver info (Sil 0680 IDE RAID) for installation.
    I am aware I could just create an install floppy via DD, however this system does not have a floppy drive nor a working FDD controller. I also cannot boot via a USB floppy due to no support in the BIOS.
    I've tried installing via a network install (PXE), but I never get past the "Solaris Network Boot..." screen.
    Any help installing on this system would be awesome. I'm excited to use Solaris 10!

    The process for creating a bootable Solaris x86 CD is quite a bit harder than it is on Sparc hardware. Or at least it was with the only process I know about. It is much simpler to perform a network-based installation.
    One catch to the network install, however, is that a Sparc system cannot read all the partitions on the x86 Solaris CD. I had to put the disc into an existing Solaris x86 system, NFS mount a directory from my Sparc server, and perform a "./setup_install_server" from the x86 system to the NFS directory.
    Once that was complete, I could use the Sparc server to jumpstart the x86 systems using custom configurations. It also allowed me to install the correct drivers for the x86 system in question that were not part of the Solaris CD (which is one of the problems you describe).
    I realize that you were probably looking for a simpler answer that this...

  • How can I set a right link Aggregations?

    I have a Enterprise T5220 server, running Solaris 10 that I am using as a backup server. On this server, I have a Layer 4, LACP-enabled link aggregation set up using two of the server's Gigabit NICs (e1000g2 and e1000g3) and until recently I was getting up to and sometimes over 1.5 Gb/s as desired. However, something has happened recently to where I can now barely get over 1 Gb/s. As far as I know, no patches were applied to the server and no changes were made to the switch that it's connected to (Nortel Passport 8600 Series) and the total amount of backup data sent to the server has stayed fairly constant. I have tried setting up the aggregation multiple times and in multiple ways to no avail. (LACP enabled/disabled, different policies, etc.) I've also tried using different ports on the server and switch to rule out any faulty port problems. Our networking guys assure me that the aggregation is set up correctly on the switch side but I can get more details if needed.
    In order to attempt to better troubleshoot the problem, I run one of several network speed tools (nttcp, nepim, & iperf) as the "server" on the T5220, and I set up a spare X2100 as a "client". Both the server and client are connected to the same switch. The first set of tests with all three tools yields roughly 600 Mb/s. This seems a bit low to me, I seem to remember getting 700+ Mb/s prior to this "issue". When I run a second set of tests from two separate "client" X2100 servers, coming in on two different Gig ports on the T5220, each port also does ~600 Mb/s. I have also tried using crossover cables and I only get maybe a 50-75 Mb/s increase. After Googling Solaris network optimizations, I found that if I double tcp_max_buf to 2097152, and set tcp_xmit_hiwat & tcp_recv_hiwat to 524288, it bumps up the speed of a single Gig port to ~920 Mb/s. That's more like it!
    Unfortunately however, even with the TCP tweaks enabled, I still only get a little over 1 Gb/s through the two aggregated Gig ports. It seems as though the aggregation is only using one port, though MRTG graphs of the two switch ports do in fact show that they are both being utilized equally, essentially splitting the 1 Gb/s speed between
    the two ports.
    Problem with the server? switch? Aggregation software? All the above? At any rate, I seem to be missing something.. Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated!

    If you ran two streams simultaneously, then you should see a difference between a single 1G interface and an aggregate of two 1G interfaces.

  • GLDv3 availability

    Hello,
    I'm porting ethernet device driver from Linux to Solaris 10 on Amd64
    and Sparc. I've started development using GLD framework untill I've
    stumbled upon blog "Solaris Networking - The Magic Revealed" at http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/sunay?entry=the_solaris_networking_the_magic
    regarding GLDv3 framework.
    GLDv3 sound really cool and I'd like to switch ASAP. But here is a
    problem: on my Solaris 10 installation (uname: SunOS dawn 5.10
    Generic_Patch_118844-30 i86pc i386 i86pc) there is /kernel/misc/mac
    binary module and drivers like bge, e1000g and xge which use GLDv3,
    but headers files and documentation are missing. This makes GLDv3
    driver development hard :{).
    Could you please tell me where I could get GLDv3 headers and
    documents? Do I miss some patch?
    Could OpenSolaris header files used instead? Are those compatible to Solaris 10?
    Thank you,
    Alexander Indenbaum

    Hello.
    I was porting another network driver to Solaris and I used GLD, too.
    I do not know which GLD version I was using. (I think not v3; module name is /kernel/misc/gld, not /kernel/misc/mac.)
    The documentation I used was "Writing Device Drivers" in the "Solaris 10" section on Sun's documentation site.
    All include files were present on Solaris 9/Sparc and OpenSolaris/x86 (I do not have Solaris 10 installed so I cannot tell you if the include files are present.)
