Solaris 10 NTFS Support

I have heard that Solaris 10 does not have built in support for NTFS filesystems. I have a NTFS-formatted external USB 2.0 drive that will not mount onto a Solaris 10 guest in a VirtualBox environment (Windows XP x64 host). Are there any plans to build NTFS support into Solaris 10? I heard the fuse project will enable such support in Opensolaris.
Thank you...

Enabling NTFS Support On OSX 10.8.5

I will use HFS+ for Time Machine backups. However, I still need to share files between the Windows and Mac world.
For Windows, I use a portable disk drive that I just drag and drop files to for backup. This is sufficient for my backup needs. I'd like to be able to access this drive for both read and write from the MAC, just as I do now with a thumb drive. I found the following article on this topic: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57588773-263/how-to-manually-enable-ntfs-re ad-and-write-in-os-x/
It states ".... however, OS X does support writing to NTFS, but this feature is just not enabled by default."
It then goes on to describe how to do this "... to enable this feature, you have to do so on a per-volume basis, by editing the system's hidden fstab file to adjust the way the drive is automatically handled when attached and mounted. ......." See article for details.
The article also notes "Keep in mind that the writing ability of Apple's NTFS driver has not been thoroughly tested, and though this will enable write support using Apple's driver, there may be some limitations or unknown behaviors with the driver, so use it with caution"
As noted, I will use it to access the NTFS drive for read and write from both Windows and Mac. Just drag and drop.
1. Has anyone else used this feature? I know there are third party solutions, but I'd prefer using this if it works.
2. If so, what limitations or unknown behaviors have been seen?
3. When I talked with Apple tech support yesterday, they suggested I go to an Apple store and get assistance from the 'genius bar' for implementing the steps. As the person noted, one bad keystroke entry could mess up my system. Good idea! Is there any reason why the Apple store might refuse to assist me?
Thanks,

See below, use paragon
OR TUXERA for Mac for NTFS:
http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/
FORMAT TYPES
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.

NTFS (Windows NT File System)
Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
Maximum file size: 16 TB
Maximum volume size: 256TB
You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT)))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
Maximum file size: 8EiB
Maximum volume size: 8EiB
You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
EXFAT (FAT64)
Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
Maximum file size: 16 EiB
Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive. See "disadvantages" for details.

Does Solaris 10 support cisco Virtual Port Channels over IP?

Does anyone know if Solaris 10 support cisco Virtual Port Channels open IP?

Hi user11114413,
The issue you are seeing actually has little to do with VIP, and more to do with there being multiple IP addresses for us to choose from on your box. For such multi-IP boxes, you'll want to tell us the IP to use, and in your case you want to tell as a VIP. This can be done either by editing your operational configuration file, and including an <address> element within the <unicast-listener> element, or via the tangosol.coherence.localhost system property. For example:
<unicast-listener>
    <well-known-addresses>
        <socket-address id="1">
            <address>1.2.3.260</address> 
            <port>8088</port>
        </socket-address>
    </well-known-addresses>
    <address>1.2.3.260</address> 
    <port>8088</port>
</unicast-listener>or
java ... -Dtangosol.coherence.localhost=1.2.3.260If you are using the same operational configuration on all nodes in your cluster then the system property approach is likely preferable, and would only be necessary on the two machines sharing the VIP.
As for using VIP or an extended WKA list, the choice is yours, either will work. If you do go the VIP route, it would obviously be a very bad idea to simultaneously use the same VIP and port at the same time from the two machines.
thanks,

Maximum Disk-Volume Capacity Solaris 8 supports (SPARC) ?

Any one knows what is the maximum capacity that Solaris 8 on SPARC supports for storage-set ( Raid set, Stripe Set ...)
Can Solaris 8 supports file system up to 2 Terabyes ?
Thanks

Yup.

Unless you've somehow maintained a service contract on that system,
by specific system serial number,
your best bet is to haunt an online auction site (such as Ebay),
and get a replacement cpu or cpus for shelf stock.
Your current OBP patch level is only down two patch levels,
but your kernel patch level is essentially "never patched".
If it were patched better it may have noticed the issue a lot sooner.
Expect to replace that cpu.

Is the Fujitsu-Solaris platform supported (ALL PRODUCTS)?

Is the Fujitsu-Solaris platform supported for Netscape/iPlanet products?
<P>
Quality assurance (QA) tests Netscape and iPlanet products (Solaris versions)
on Sun SPARC systems with the Solaris operating system from Sun Microsystems.
This setup is the reference platform.
<P>
If you run Netscape or iPlanet products on a SPARC/Solaris compatible system
(assuming the system is 100% compatible), the product should perform as
described. However, if you discover a compatibility problem on such a system,
Netscape/iPlanet Technical Support typically attempts to reproduce the defect
on the reference SPARC/Solaris platform. Then, if they find that the problem
exists on the reference platform, they will forward the defect on to
engineering for resolution.

Yes
We have plan to buy and use Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter and use it with LabView2013.
I am searching if this device already has LabView VI's for I2C communication.
I am not sure If we can use the VI's for Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter to Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter.
Before we decide to buy Aardvark OEM I2C Host Adapter we just want to make sure that we can use it.
Best Thanks.

Does Solaris 10 supports Lexmark PCL printers

Hi.
I need to know if Solaris 10 supports for sure PCL laser printers, I'm talking about Lexmark E120n (TCP/IP) and Lexmark E232 (Paralel). As I know these printers support PostScript with Mac OS only.
In technical specification of these printers is not mentioned that they support Solaris. However laser printers that support languages like PCL are able to work with other drivers. For example I used HP LaserJet 1200 with HP LJ4 driver and it worked fine (not on Unix !).
I checked drivers that are supplyed with Solaris, it has drivers for Lexmark Optra E and Lexmark E210.
Thank you.

In Lexmark. there are no Solaris drivers for E232 and E120.
These printers support only PCL.
All laser printers can work with other generic drivers that support its supported languages (PCL in my case).
In Printer Administrator, Solaris 10 has spooler for PCL printers.
I tryed and it works. However, Solaris 8 really can print only on PostScript printers.
Linux Fedora Core 5, has built in CUPS spooler and good print server.
I'll use it to share printer between other computers (based on Solaris 10 and other Operating Systems).

Can Solaris 11 support Solaris 8/9 container?

Dear all,
I am new to Solaris 11. I know that Solaris 10 SPARC can support Solaris 8/9 container.
So, Can Solaris 11 SPARC support Solaris 8/9 container?
Wait for your feedback.
Mike

Hi Mike
For future reference, this may not be the best forum to use for Solaris Zones related questions... but, in this case, legacy branded zones (Solaris 8, Solaris 9, and Linux) are only supported on Solaris 10. This is documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E24456/glhcg.html

Solaris 10 support on Sun Storedge 6120/6020

Hi ,
I have bought a SE6120 arrays attach to two Sun Fire 4800 as cluster
shared storage with Solaris 9 OS. I intend to upgrade the OS to Solaris 10. But after find the information at sunsolve.sun.com, it not mention about wether Solaris 10. Hope somebody will provide me solution..
Thanks in advance !!

The array is supported with Solaris 10. The noticeable change from prior OS is that the SAN drivers and packages are included with the base OS. You do not need to add anything as you did for Solaris 9 and 10.

Solaris 10 Support for Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H Motherboard

Dear sirs,
I have been trying to get Solaris 10 to run properly on a Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H Motherboard.
The Solaris 10 operating system installed ok, but I have no network support. This is due to the standard and update drivers not working for this motherboard. I also cannot get video or audio subsystems to work.
I know this is due to Solaris 10 not recognising this motherboard, but my question is: Will Solaris 10 be supproting this motherboard in the future and doea anybody know if there are any Linux drivers which may work?
This is a link to the motherboard specs:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2800&
ProductName=GA-MA78G-DS3H
Any help you may be able to give me would be most appreciated.

You can try this detection tool to see if Solaris 10 is/is not supporting your motherboard:
[http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.jsp|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.jsp]
I doubt that Solaris 10 will be supporting more hardware/motherboard.
Have you tried Opensolaris? Opensolaris supportes more hardware than Solaris 10.
HCL for Opensolaris is [http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/os/|http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/os/]

Solaris Container Support for Oracle Products

Hi,
Is there a special list about which Oracle products support Solaris Containers? Or can I assume that all products support the container technology?
I cant find any related information on this...

We run Oracle databases and application servers without any problems.
In the licencing documentations zones are explictly mentioned as capped zones are supported to partition a system.
So if you have an eight-core maschine but give the zone only one, you have only to licence this core.
Have a look at this document
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/partitioning-070609.pdf
As said before if your software does not need low level access to the hardware or the kernel (as eg. a backup server or a nfs server) it should run fine into a zone.

Solaris 8 support

Hi!
Sorry if this is a wrong forum.
We would like to move to Solaris 10 and are currently using Solaris 8.
But would like to know when will Sun stop supporting
Solaris8? or if they have already stopped.
Thanks,
-srip

Well, if you have a Spectrum contract you should check out infodoc 10012. Basicly Suns Support division supports a Solaris release up til five years after its "last ship" date. During the first two years patches are created etc, during the remaining three years Sun offers telephone support and access to existing patches.
The Last-Shipment date for Solaris 8 isn't decided yet, at least not as far as i can see, so it should be supported for another few years.

Does Solaris 10 support OmniORB v.4.1?

Hi Guys,
Just want to confirm if OmniORB v. 4.1 is still compatible in Solaris 10.
If not any suggestion what can I use to replace OmniORB v.4.1?

Hello Bruce,
each new release adds some features and new kernels.
It's not possible use patches to get these features.
To support new systems between the release cycle (Solaris 10 3/05 GA, Solaris 10 1/06), there are <b>temporary</b> HW releases (Solaris 10 HW1, HW2).
Btw. the <b>temporary</b> is a quote from the "Release Notes Supplement for Solaris 10 3/05 HW2".
In Solaris 8 there have been PSR releases after the last "normal" release Solaris 8 2/02.
The features from the HW releases are included in the next following release. That means the two HW releases are replaced by the Solaris 10 1/06.
<table border="0" align="center" width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="SmallText"><b>Quote:</b></td></tr><tr><td class="quote">
The minimum OS version for 1.5 GHz UltraSPARC IV+ processors is Solaris 9 9/05 and Solaris 10 3/05 HW1
The minimum OS version for 1.35 GHz UltraSPARC IV processors is Solaris 8 2/04, Solaris 9 4/04, and Solaris 10 3/05
</td></tr></table>
Unfortunately systems that can be upgraded to UltraSPARC IV+ are beyond the scope of these user-to-user forums.
