Solaris 10 on HP Proliant DL160 resizing xdm login screen

I have installed the Solaris 10 X86 on an HP Proliant DL160, and the login screen appears very Large. Is there a way to make the login screen smaller? Using xdm as the window manager.

Hi Asgorath,
Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you but I
am experiencing the identical problem on a HP
Proliant BL25p Blade Server. Here is my hardware
config:
CPU - Dual Opteron 2.6 Single Core
Memory - 16gb
Controller - HP Smart Array 6i
Logical drives - 1 (2x72gb RAID1+0)
I have tried the same things as you and I still get
intermittant boots. Power on and off does not always
work as the system still hangs. It's totally hit or
miss. Once it soes boot it seems to work fine. I have
also installed the latest Solaris 10 for x86 Patch
Cluster in hopes that some of the kernal patches
would fix the problem. So far no luck as the system
continues to hang...HARD!! HP was out to my site
today and the Eng. is going back to the group that
qualified Solaris10 on the HP Blades and see if they
have any input. If I receive anything back I will
post it here. I know this post is late and if you
have resolved please post your fix.Hi doc42755,
I have not come up with a solution as of yet, if I do come up with a solution i will most certainly post it here.
However, if you find the solution could you let us know in this thread aswell.
Thanks
Asgaroth

    I installed Solaris 10 on my x86 machine once. Worked fine, but it wouldnt apply any changes i made. Then, whenever i told it to shutdown, it just logged me off. I installed it again and it wouldnt let me login as root for first time, i double checked password when i set it. Then, i got into a nostalgia mood and installed Solaris 9 on exact same machine, hard drive etc etc. Same fault. Whats happening? Is a good spec machine according 2 HCL (is custom built)

  • OpenSolaris at HP Proliant DL160 G6

    Hello,
    I want install OpenSolaris at HP Proliant DL160 G6, but I don't know If is my hardware supported by OpenSolaris. I found some HCL for OpenSolaris: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/data/os/systems/views/all_servers_all_results.mfg.page3.html, there is only HP Proliant DL160 G5 server. Is there some chance, that OpenSolaris will running at my server?
    Thanks a lot
    Tomas.

    If you use Solaris 11 Express 2010.11, then this should work.

    Just a repost
    Hi,
    I guess you checked the requirements in the pdfs before installation.
    The problem you show in your log is only related either to HPQhealth or HPQhma. Is the ILO svc starting ?
    Did you install the package in the correct order?
    1) HPQhealth
    2) enable hpasmd
    3) HPQhma
    4) enable all hm* agents
    5) check the snmp agent issue if running 64 bits Solaris
    Did you install the HPQsmh package?
    and an useful link

  • Last version of HP ProLiant DL160 Rack Server

    Hey everybody!
    I am trying to find the last version of the HP ProLiant DL160 Rack Server, but whether I don’t find it or if I do it turns out to be really expensive.
    Do you know any website where I can buy the last version?
    As cheap as possible.
    Thanks!

    I think that the last version is Gen9, you can find it in: https://www.ware247.co.uk/
    They can get you the server at a good price, they usually do.
    Good luck.

  • Creating a warning banner at the login screen in solaris 10 GNOME

    Does anyone know how to create a a warning banner at the login screen in solaris 10 GNOME so users have to hit OK or Enter before typing in their username?
    A million thanks,

    I have had problems after the 10.5.2 update. I ended up with a frozen computer - unable to restart or shut down etc. Also ended up at one stage with Set Up Assistant screen. With the help of a computer savvy friend, at least I am able to use my computer again.
    It appears the actual download did happen but it did not install and the computer tells me I need to "re-start". When I did this, window appeared on plain blue screen saying it was installing software but absolutely nothing happened - no blue scrolling bar etc.
    My iMac computer is still under Apple Care Plan and technician told me they are many problems surfacing across the various machines with this upgrade. He has asked me to delay updating the software and to ring back in a couple of days because their technicians are currently working on the problem and he hopes for an answer soon.

  • How can I insert a single image that resizes to full screen when I pinch it out?

    Hey there. I'm looking for a feature (similar to the gallery widget) where I can have 1 small image and when you tap or spread your fingers, it resizes to full screen. Is this possible?

    Thanks, Caleb, that worked!
    But I have a follow up question. So if I use Edit Mask so that I can only see a portion of the image, when I tap the image, I only enlarge the visible portion. In fact, it isn't even enlarged: I only see the same portion of the image at the same size. This is not the behaviour you get with the gallery widget. Is that also your experience, or am I missing something?
    In thinking about it, I can probably make do with the gallery widget in the cases where I would like this behaviour, but it seems like this should work.

  • Solaris never booted to gui login screen

    I have made a new installation of solaris 10 on HP xw8600 workstation. After selecting from grub the top most choice which normally yields a gui login screen, the pc is restarted.
    Some say it is due to mainboard thermal issues where solaris shuts down/restarts for safety (physically I don't think there is any thermal problem).
    Is/are there any switch or parameters for some safe mode (not the command line, but the gui).
    Or what may be the problem?
    Thanks,

    Ok, I have managed to solve my problem myself:
    first go through this thread:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5224214
    then I applied these patches and off it goes now I have a 64 bit running Solaris10
    First: Patch no: 125370-06, fault manager
    Second: Patch no: 127112-08, kernel patch
    (I dont know where the links are I followed the update manager in solaris)
    good luck,

  • Firefox resizes to full screen when I type anywhere in Firefox

    I launch Firefox and start typing a URL or search string and the Firefox window instantly resizes to full screen. This happens only once after launching Firefox. I can 'restore down' and continue without the problem occurring again, unless I close Firefox and relaunch, and then window will resize to full screen when I start typing. Problem started about one month ago. Win 7 16-bit, FF 3.6.8. Thanks in advance!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last Firefox update?

    One correction, Win 7 32-bit ;)

  • Solaris 8 on Compaq ProLiant 1600

    We tried to install Solaris 8 on a Compaq ProLiant 1600/500
    with dual processor. The installation failed in the "scanning hardware
    configuration" phase entering into debugger mode.
    We know that our configuration is NOT on the hardware compatibility list.
    On the other hand the Compaq ProLiant 1600 (2 CPUs, PIII-550) can be found
    in the HCL.
    Any kind of help would be higly appreciated.
    Andras

    The first thing to do with a Compaq is make sure the latest and greatest rompaq has been applied to the board and all devices. Next, download and use the latest and greatest Solaris DCA diskette and use it for the install boot. I am making the assumption you are using the CD this time around. If that doesnt work, you will have to remove all but the bare minimun of hardware and try the install then add each device one by one. The DCA diskettes are updated regularly so thelatest one may solve the issue.

  • Problem while installing solaris 10 on HP proliant DL 380 G5.

    Hi,
    facing problem while installing solaris 10 05/09 on HP proliant DL 380G5. The array controller is E200.
    i have installed the raid controller driver CPQary3-2.1.0-solaris10-i386, it is going ahead but not detecting the whole hard disk space. My hard disk space is SAS 146GB. There are two 146GB hard disk present. It is showing only 978 MB & only one hard disk. So please help me out. my mail ID is [email protected]

    I have a similar issue trying to load Solaris 10u4 on an IBM x236.
    I had to put in a recognized SCSI card, attach an external array to the card, and install Solaris 10u4 on the array. Then I had to install the correct driver from OpenSolaris (an Adaptec one for IBM ServeRAID), and do a live upgrade onto the now-visible internal disks. Then I removed the array and cleaned up the traces from the live upgrade.
    You may have to do something similar.
    And last month the boot drive got corrupted when power was interrupted. "Oops. Wrong plugs..." This time the external array will stay connected.

  • Installing Solaris 10 on Compaq Proliant 1600 with Smart 2DH PCI controller

    I'm trying to put Solaris 10 on a fairly old 350 Mhz Compaq Proliant.
    Compaq SMART-2DH Array controller Ver C rev 3.08
    This is a PCI card
    I have tried downloading HP's drivers for the Smart II controller and renaming the DU/ folders to 210 instead of 28, and the installation program will process the drivers
    When it continues on to the part where you select the type of installation, it gives these errors:
    /platform/i86pc/kernel/drv/smartii: undefined symbol 'eisa_nvm'
    WARNING: mod_load: cannot load module 'msartii'
    WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed
    WARNING: forceload of drv/smartii failed
    Then it will continue on to the GUI portion of the install and give the error about not having any available disks to install on to (check cables)
    Is there any way to make Solaris 10 load these drivers? I know it doesn't support EISA, but this card is PCI. Not sure why it tries to load EISA drivers for it.
    This thing also has SCSI built into the motherboard, does anyone know if Solaris 10 will support that particular controller? No idea what it's called. If it will, I'm just going to plug the hard disk cable in to that and go with it.

    Has any body found a way to get Solaris 10 to install with the Smart-2DH controller? I've got a Compaq Proliant 1850R that also has that raid controller and the Solaris 10 install rejected the Solaris 8 driver.

  • How can I get my movie clip to resize according to screen size?

    I have a movie clip (startMenu); inside it there are buttons, text, and graphics. This is a game I am making, and it will be played on different screen sizes of Android. This is the code I have so far:
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT
    startMenu.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeLayout);
    function resizeLayout(e:Event):void
        setPosition();
    function setPosition():void
         startMenu.x = (stage.stageWidth - startMenu.width) / 2;
            startMenu.y = (stage.stageHeight - startMenu.height) /2;
    When I run it on different phones using debugging, it locks on the left hand corner, but does stretch out to fit the whole screen. What should I do?

    try changing
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    to
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.EXACT_FIT;

  • Resizing image to screen size..

    Hi Guys,
    I m writing kind of a map information program in which I need to send back an image to the user on their mobile device. Being a novice I found lot of information as to how to do it. I also got the screen size using canvas methods. But, now I m in a dilema wherein I need to decide whether I should compress the image on server side or the client side ?
    I presume client side will take away a lot of space since I need to implement a routine for that.
    So my question is, what should I do ? implement on server side or on client side ?
    Thanks for ur help,

    You can resize the images using JAI on the server side. Add caching and you will have decent speed. When the client connects, it should send the width and height. The server uses the width and height to scale the original image. The server stores the scaled image for later use before send it to the client.
    The slideshow example application uses server resizing.
    The midlet requests a image using the form below:
    http://fotomica.astrientlabs.com/slideshow?c=cars&li=13&h=200&w=100
    Hostj2me.com has an image proxy. You can get scaled images suitable for display on a mobile phone by adding the length and width to the URL. For example:
    http://www.hostj2me.com/imageproxy?u=http://static.flickr.com/26/45983803_08b3658ad8_b_d.jpg&h=250&w=400&key=<your api key here>
    You can also specify the output format.

    I think the format choices are PNG, BMP, JPEG, and TIFF.
    To get an API key sign up at hostj2me.com and go to the my profile page. The key is listed as the last item in the first paragraph. Copy and paste the key to the URL.
