Solaris 10 pts psuedo tty's

I am porting from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 on a SunFire V240. I noticed that there are only 32
pts entries in the /devices/pseudo directory.
As I will have more than 32 users logged in to
this server, will Solaris 10 automatically add more as needed or is this a manual function and how it it done.

it'll create more as it needs. (I just started 32 xterms and lo, there are more entries in /dev/pts. now to kill them all with pkill xterm...)

LXC Container login on host tty

I want create a full system lxc container with a gui and log in to it on one of the host's tty (using CTRL+ALT+Fn). I have set up lxc as per the wiki and I can login into container (its debian sid) and ssh into it and install software. What I'm having trouble doing is getting it to present a login at the host tty. I'm trying to set this up for F7 since that is not used by systemd. Has anybody been able to do this?

Hi yjdabear, Thank you for your replies. I do have logging history set to level 4. I am still not seeing traps generated even using the 'syslog method' for the login failures. here is a snipit of my logging

Ttys are not owned by group tty (and /dev/pts verses /dev/vc)

I just tried to do a "mesg y" in my terminal on my dekstop and got the error:
mesg: error: tty device is not owned by group `tty'.
So I chowned my tty to belong to group tty (previously it was owned by my generic group "users", of which b-con is a member) and it worked fine. I then checked my active ssh connection from my laptop and its tty *was* owned by group tty.
I assume there is something that is setting my created ttys to belong to the current user group by default instead of tty? Where might that be? I scanned all relevant bash profile/rc's and found nothing.
On a related note:
Right now I'm logged into my machine as normal, ie, into X and have a terminal running. I'm also logged in, as another user, via ssh. When I execute the "who" command, I see:
b-con vc/7 Feb 14 12:34 . 6894 (:0)
rj pts/2 Feb 14 22:02 00:03 9849 (192.168.0.4)
Why is b-con, the user logged in from the physical keyboard, shown as logged on vc/7 while the ssh user (rj) is shown as being on pts/2? User b-con has terminals on pts/0 and pts/1 open, so why is he reported as being on vc/7?
I was trying to use the "write" command to communicate between the two users, and b-con can write fine to rj on pts/2, but rj cannot write back to b-con because "/dev/vc/7: Permission denied". If I specify "write b-con /dev/pts/1" then I get the error "b-con is not logged in on pts/1". This is true because it's not my login shell, but it still is a shell I'm on.
Any enlightenment? I assume the latter half of my question boils down to login shells...

Yeah, it is pretty worthless. Designed for the pre-X11 days, I suppose.
Since the tty's are owned by user group of the owner, if the users you wish to communicate are of the same gropu you can use the primitive
$ echo text > /dev/pts/X
if you just want to move a little it of information around. You probably wouldn't want to hold a conversation that way, though. ;-)
Another way around it would be for both users to share a screen session (Google for tutorial). If you just open up nano you can hold a decent IM convo. For two people logged into the same machine, that's the best solution for interaction/conversation that I can think of.

Hm, check out ytalk (not in the repos).

How to remove truncation in the output of ps -ef command in solaris

Hi,
One silly question but i m unable to find solution.
In solaris-10 when i executed the command ps -ef some datas in the output in the command column is truncated as below
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 6811 1 0 19:33:36 pts/3 0:00 sh /export/home/bti/bti/Revathi/BTI/EMS/bin/startemsserver.sh
root 6827 6819 0 19:33:37 pts/3 2:33 /export/home/bti/bti/Revathi/BTI/EMS/jre/bin/java -DJBOSS_HOME=/export/home/bti
Where in the CMD column the path */export/home/bti/bti/Revathi/BTI/EMS/jre/bin/java -DJBOSS_HOME=/export/home/bti* continues. Only half of the path is shown. I need the entire path how to achieve it
Regards
Revathi

Just to make things a little more complex...
/usr/ucb/ps (actually /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps) used to be SUID root so that it could read the full args directly out of the address space of the process (/proc/<pid>/as).
Sun removed this behavior in Solaris 8 with patch 109023-05 and in Solaris 9 with patch 120240-01 (it's been removed from Solaris 10 since FCS)

Memory used by oracle 11g processes on solaris 10

I am running oracle 11.1.0.7 on solaris 10. The database uses some 280M virtual memory size for each oracle backup or user process. See the SZ column in output of ps -efl below.
I just wonder how come oracle that much of memory for each process. Is that something we can control through some system/database parameters or is that the way oracle 11g on solaris works?

This is not real, "physical" memory. Solaris has a virtual memory sub-system layer in it, as do almost all other modern operating systems. Google "operating system virtual memory" to find out more on what virtual memory is and how it works.
In terms of your question, virtual memory means that not all of a process's memory space needs to be in physical memory for it to run and execute. The process virtual memory space is broken up into equal sized pages, and only those pages currently being referenced (used) are mapped and read into physical memory pages. Thus the virtual size of a process is irrelevant to how much physical memory is being used. Look at the RSS column (ps -ely) for the physical memory used by each process - Resident Set Size.
Furthermore, an Oracle shadow server process (oracle) uses a large segment of shared memory for the SGA. This shared memory only exists once in physical memory, and is shared amongst all the shadow server processes. But it is mapped into the address space of each process, and so appears and is counted in the virtual and physical memory of each process.
So each reported virtual size (SZ) of each oracle process is also counting the mapped shared memory pages in each process, and so counting the same pages multiple times across all the oracle processes. You need to subtract the size of the SGA shared memory from the virtual size of each oracle process to determine the private, local memory per shadow process.
If you want a further breakdown of the memory map of each process, look at the manual pages for pmap (man pmap), which will break it down by text, private data, zero initialized, shared and other types. By subtracting the shared size from the resident size you can get a true view of the private, local memory per oracle shadow server process.

Solaris 10 generating Malicious Traffic...HELP

Hi,
Recently, we started getting WARNING messages from our ISP that one of our box IP generating malicious traffic.
We have a Solaris 10 Box (OS patched upto date - services like telnet, snmp are disabled already) with that IP (ISP mentioned), is generating malicious traffic. I confirm it doing because I could see online using netstat command today.
It�s generating traffic onto internet with destination port = 23 and source port (on my box) is random.
I implemented a script using lsof, that reads source port of all connection destined to remote�s 23 port. It also includes running lsof using that random local port to get the process (or ID). But none of them I could get as the script result.
Today I happened to see it online and the reason why my script not generating any output is that the suspicious process generating the traffic, changing local port numbers in such a way that by the time I run lsof, the local port connection closed/gone. It keeps generating/changing very fast such that the script not able to capture the process.
The only thing I could get the output of �ps �aef� and is attached below. Could anybody please go through the list of processes in listed below and hint me any process to suspect?

Wow. That is really too bad. You can't spot anything suspicious in the logs? Do you think it could have been the telnet vulnerability? Maybe they got in before the patch.
Sadly the above posters were probably right, you need to format and start over. Even if you identify the culprit on the machines there is no way of making sure it is not still compromised.
I am a fan of ipfilter and scripts watching the logs for suspicious activities. It is not fool-proof by a long shot but it keeps the kids out. I set it so anything suspicious (even a port scan) results in completely blocking that IP from all ports, not just the one it was pestering. If you set it to 'one hit wonder' you can stop people from doing things like the telnet vulnerability, but I would not bank on complete protection. I use sshblack and modify it to watch other services as well as ssh. However, I am in academics and not business so I am sure if there is money involved a person would really want to make sure what they were doing was 'right' not just a bulletin board suggestion.
If they did get in through the telnet vulnerability there was nothing you could have done besides turn the service off from the start.
I am not trained in this kind of thing but I am pretty sure ALL data on those boxes must be considered compromised as well and should be isolated from the new installations.

Switch between ttys like on Linux

Hi ,
I would like to know how can i start process and assign it to a speciefic tty like /dev/pts/20 and whenever i need to interact with it , somehow i'll switch to that terminal like the ALT+CTRL+Fx on linux .

Hi,
I found following two technotes on sun sites.
Since virtual terminal is not supported by default,
below procedure is not supported one.
In Solaris 2.1, which few people have, this worked the same as the other
versions of UNIX for PCs did. It also works correctly in Solaris Base
Server 2.4, which was designed to work similar to Interactive UNIX.
In Solaris 2.4 and later, up to 2.6 at least, this was disabled by
default. However you can re-enable the feature with a little work if
you have root access to the system. Please note that this feature is
not officially supported, but it does seem to work, so the process is
documented here for those that require it. Please consider using CDE,
which has multiple workspaces, for future compatibility.
For Solaris 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 you must create the /dev entries
yourself, after the system is installed. For 2.6, they are already
there and you can skip to the step where you edit /etc/inittab now.
Step 1 - Determine the device's major number:
# grep -i chanmux /etc/name_to_major
chanmux <num>
Step 2 - Add the /dev entries using the major number (<num>) you found:
mknod /dev/vt01 c <num> 1
mknod /dev/vt01 c <num> 1
Step 3 - Adding entries to /etc/inittab:
Add the following lines, one for each vt## device you created, to the
/etc/inittab file. Be sure to put them after the co entry.
co:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` VT01
login" -T
AT386 -d /dev/vt01 -l console
co:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` VT02
login" -T
AT386 -d /dev/vt02 -l console
Step 4 - Tell init that /etc/inittab was changed:
# /usr/sbin/init q
Now you can switch screens using <Alt>-<PrintScreen> followed
by <F1>
for vt01, <F2>, for vt02, etc. Using
<Alt>-<PrintScreen> followed by
<P> will switch to the previous screen, or <N> for the next
screen, in
cyclic order.
The one real difference is that to switch back to the normal console
screen you must use <Alt>-<PrintScreen> followed by
<H>, instead of <F8>
as Interactive UNIX used to use.
Let me remind you that this is not an officially supported mode of
Solaris X86. This FAQ is to help those migrating to Solaris X86 from
Interactive UNIX or SCO UNIX that require a feature like this for their
current environment.
A better solution is to plan to use CDE Workspace areas for this type of
function in the future. Each Workspace can then act as a virtual screen
and the buttons on the toolbar can be named for their function.
The VT feature has been removed starting from Solaris 8. Sun recommends
customers to move their programs to CDE as CDE provides a much better
functionality and is the Sun supported standard for multi-screen display.
As mentioned in FAQ 2445-02, the virtual terminal (vt) was all along an
unsupported and
deprecated feature in Solaris x86. It was maintained to ease the transition
from
IUS to Solaris.
If you would still like to use the vt on Solaris 8 without changing your
programs, you might want to check the XiG product from AcceleratedX -
http://www.acceleratedx.com/
Please note that we have not verified above product and we are not making a
product recommendation. Please check directly with the product vendor.

Umount not possible on Solaris 10

Hello,
This afternoon, I asked for support on Sun Support Center for a problem which occurs on a new Solaris 10 installation.
Problems on Solaris 10 are not supported by Sun Support Center ... :-(
(I think a umount problem is not a Solaris 10 problem , but ...)
It's not a critical problem but I'm frustrated if I must reboot for this problem.
We are not under Microsoft OS ...
Sun Support Center asked me to try on Sun Developer site.
Can you help me ?
Thanks
Jean Berthold

No
If NO explain the benefits of SunSolve, if YES ask :
WHAT STOPPED HIM FROM SOLVING HIS PROBLEM:
n/a
ARE CONTACT DETAILS CORRECT:
yes
PROBLEM ANALYSIS :
The customer has mounted the cdrom on the machine zanzibar
and share it by NFS. See the customer's note for more details.
After that, he has launched Oracle installation on machine udaipur
by using CD ROM mounted via NFS on zanzibar machine.
After the usage of the cdrom from the NFS client udaipur, it is
impossible to umount the cdrom.
# umount /cdrom/disk1
umount: /cdrom/disk1 busy
The customer has stopped all services of NFS :
# ps -ef | grep nfs
daemon 12459 1 0 12:20:54 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/statd
daemon 12461 1 0 12:20:54 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/lockd

# unshareall
# /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
# umount /cdrom/disk1
umount: /cdrom/disk1 busy
# ls /etc/init.d/volmg*
/etc/init.d/volmgt
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
# ps -ef | grep vol

But the problem is still persisting : impossible to umount cdrom
# umount /cdrom/disk1
umount: /cdrom/disk1 busy
The customer is using gnome for interface
ifuser command gives 3 processes: vold, the terminal and lockd.
We stop all processes and retry again :
# umount /cdrom/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/disk1
# umount /cdrom/cdrom0
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/cdrom0
#umount -f /cdrom/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/disk1
#umount -F hsfs /cdrom/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /cdrom/disk1
#umount /vol/dev/dsk/c0t1d0/disk1
umount: Operation not supported
umount: cannot unmount /vol/dev/dsk/c0t1d0/disk1
The problem is not really urgent but the customer does not
want to reboot this machine just to umount the cdrom !!!!
It is really impossible to umount the cdrom.
i've found a bug id for swap and this problem needs more investigation.
So i'm escalating this case!

Hi there,
This will depend on how your VM is configured, please have a look at the following documentation and make sure you are using the appropriate networking mode:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#networkingmodes
Then check your # ifconfig -a output and verify that your interface is marked UP and RUNNING, please refer to the following document for more details on how to set up your network interfaces:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/816-4554/ipconfig-12.html#scrolltoc
Hope that helps

The foregoing list shows that I do not have sufficient disk space. Oracle Install documentation says I should have 3GB for a full install. My second hard disk should be able to handle this, but I do not know yet how I can add more disk space to the file system. Can you please tell me how I can do this?
Meanwhile I am deleting the 13 files 9iAS10220_part1 through 9iAS10220_part13 to free up some disk space. Having extracted files and created Disk1 through Disk5, I do not think I will need these 13 files anymore.
I am still trying to understand what runInstaller script is trying to do.

Solaris 9 x86 bug report - el_GR.ISO8859-7 & CDE

I'm posting this article here, because I can't find any official Solaris 9 x86 bug report page. I hope the developers will notice it. I'm using Solaris 9 x86 (12/02), with the latest 9_x86_Recommended patch cluster installed, and support for Greek installed too.
It seems there is some kind of problem, when trying to view text files with Greek (el_GR.ISO8859-7) characters, which were created under Windows. To be more specific:
If I boot at CDE with language el_GR.ISO8859-7, and try to view a .txt file (just with a simple double click), which I have created under Windows, with Greek characters,
the screen goes black, and the CDE login screen appears again (restarts). If I keep the Greek language or change the language to US English, I can boot at CDE again, with
no problems. If I try "command line logging", the screen goes off - just like when the computer is powered off, and I can't do anything, (well, except pressing the reset button, that's the sure way). And if I use the "init 6" command, while being logged at CDE, from a terminal, the Graphical Desktop exits, and then, the screen goes off again (just like the computer is powered off), but finally the computer manages to restart.
I'm using the Sun X server, NOT the XFree86 porting kit and I use the entry
:0 Local local_uid@console nobody /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -dpsfileops
in /usr/dt/config/Xservers file, to start the X server.
Here is the $HOME_DIR/.dt/startlog file:

Solaris 10u6 fails to boot after installation on HP Proliant DL380 G4

Hello,
I have used Solaris 10u5 without issues on the HP DL380 G4. However, when I tried to install update 6 (new installation), it fails to reboot. I starts to boot, then aborts and reboots the system. I added the arguments -av to help get more information. Here's what I was able to capture:

- I did a network installation. I rebuilt the miniroot to include the CPQary3 package
- I tried installing with a zpool with two disks as well as only one disk; the result was the same
- I also tried installing without using a ZFS root disk; it also fails
I have googled for this problem but have not found anything like it. I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Michael

I finally figured it out. For some reason, the installer does not install the driver package (CPQary3) or include it in the boot archive. The driver is in the fail-safe miniroot, however. So, I booted into fail-safe mode and installed the driver, and now everything works!
I ran into two problems with the installer on this hardware. I'll post details and work-arounds for both in a separate message.

Can�t upgrade Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 9 ? HELP

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade one Sun Enterprise 3500 with Solaris 2.6 to new Solaris 9.

Well, there is no replys to this, so I presume no one else had this problem...

No login available on ttys (systemd)

Hello,
I can no longer login to ttys (ctrl + alt + F1 - this is called a "tty" right?).
If I switch to one of the ttys I can still read some bootup messages I think.
The last one says
[OK] listening on delayed shutdown socket
No login prompt or blinking cursor at all. all ttys (tty1 - tty6) look that way. If it may help understanding my problem I can type all of that messages into a post...
There is no problem switching back to X waiting on tty7. This makes me believe I do not have broken keyboard config or stuff.
Has anyone a hint, were i can look for some log output what i going wrong when I hit ctrl + alt + f[0-6]?
some research:

Bulk inserts on Solaris slow as compared to windows

Hi Experts,
Looking for tips in troubleshooting 'Bulk inserts on Solaris'. I have observed the same bulk inserts are quite fast on Windows as compared to Solaris. Is there known issues on Solaris?
This is the statement:
I have 'merge...insert...' query which is in execution since long time more than 12 hours now:
merge into A DEST using (select * from B SRC) SRC on (SRC.some_ID= DEST.some_ID) when matched then update ...when not matched then insert (...) values (...)Table A has 600K rows with unique identifier some_ID column, Table B has 500K rows with same some_id column, the 'merge...insert' checks if the some_ID exists, if yes then update query gets fired, when not matched then insert query gets fired. In either case it takes long time to execute.
Environment:
The version of the database is 10g Standard 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
