Solaris 10 SMC Startup Woes

Well, after my 4th attempt at installing and starting the software, I'm here looking for help.
At the end of the config process, the system begins starting up the various components.
All I tried for was SMC plus the container manager. There is a message during install
about being unable to pre-compile certain Tomcat modules because the version of Tomcat does not match (the installed one is newer).
However, the trouble really seems to center around the scripts not finding certain libraries which seem to exist:
[realstage1-sg]$ tail -5 application-management-sunmctopology:default.log
couldn't load file "pkgsource.so": ld.so.1: esd: fatal: pkgsource.so: open failed: No such file or directory

And the java server startup is similarly messed up:

Any help appreciated,

Hi Jim,
Well, after my 4th attempt at installing and starting
the software, I'm here looking for help.What happened at the end of the last 3 attempts, same error?
How did you clean out SunMC between attempts: "es-uninst" or "es-uninst -X"? (if you don't add the -X it leaves old configuration files hanging around)
There is a message during install
bout being unable to pre-compile certain Tomcat
modules because the version of Tomcat does not match
(the installed one is newer).Is there anything special about the install of Solaris 10 on that system? Is it using LDAP or local files for user account? It is reduced or hardened in any way? (some of our customers strip out too many pacakges from the default Sol10 install and run into missing-file/library issues). Are you running any root-login-prevention programs like Keon? Is this a beta of Sol10u4?
However, the trouble really seems to center around
the scripts not finding certain libraries which seem
to exist:SunMC tries to set its own environment variables when it starts, but it can still be adversely affected by some varibles set for the root user (i.e. most people leave roots .profile/.bashrc/.cshrc-type files alone.. some places dump a bunch of garbabe paths into it to make day-2-day life easier but give SunMC issues). Can you login as root on that box and eyeball the output of the "env" command, or compare that output to a different system.
Basically I have no idea what your problem is: just some things to think about :)

    Of course, this is immediately before running Solaris Security Toolkit (jass) to apply a secure profile.
    Does it matter that this SMC startup can be triggered so easily remotely?

    It just struck me odd that simply port-scanning the
    machine could produce this behaviour, and I wonder if
    it might be a security issue.Probably not directly. Sun has distributed several items in the past that launch via inetd connections (calendar manager and font server were two common ones). Just because it launches doesn't mean it's a security problem. The application itself may require authentication after running.
    Of course the resources required by the process may be non-trivial, and the application may have security issues, but the fact that it launches isn't a direct indication of a problem.

  • Solaris 10 startup scripts

    how to replace the startup scripts from Solaris 9 or 8 to Solaris 10?

    how to replace the startup scripts from Solaris 9 or
    8 to Solaris 10?Why would you in the first place ?
    Solaris 10 is fully backwards compatible so there is no need to replace anything. You can easily put them in their regular directories (/etc/init.d for starters) and thats that. So the SMF difference really doesn't stand in the way of an upgrade from an older Solaris version to 10.
    When you're all settled you can always look into SMF, it is worth the effort.

  • Mac Pro HD and Startup Woes ... AGAIN!

    The latest in this saga has led to a real problem. Nothing happens after the chime!
    After not using the machine for a month and having reinstalled a new hd, OSX etc the machine was taking forever to start up, shut down etc - as in several minutes!
    And the Spinning Ball would appear every few seonds and linger forever. Now after doing a PRAM reset the machine will not start at all. NO keyboard commands do anything and I am stuck with a black screen after the chines.
    Cannot access other OS's, (Option-CMD), Safe Boot, or any other keyboard commands at all. I can hear a drive spinning but there is just zero connection between the keyboard commands at all.
    Before the latest problem I had used Activity Monitor and while I am no expert, there was no evidence of any real issues there - lots or RAM, little CPU hogging, low network activity, etc
    Any magic bulltets to kick start this sucker into life?
    Thanks a lot

  • Startup woes with G4

    I've been having problems with my 500mhz. Dual processor G4. Right now it's running OS 9.2.2. The only peripheral hooked up to it is an 80gig external fire wire/USB 2.0 hard drive for backup. It requires no driver to make it work. I've never had a problem with this drive in the 2 years I've owned it. It's connected to the G4 with a firewire cable. Lately when I startup the computer I get a blank grey screen. I restart and I get the same thing. Then I startup while zapping the PRAM and I can get it up and running. But then sometimes the computer crashes, or a simple app like Acrobat reader 5.0 won't open and the only way to make it work is to restart the computer. I've tried shutting the computer down and disconnecting the drive but I still have problems starting up. In short, very problematic startups.
    This also happened with the other 40gig internal drive. The computer all of a sudden told me the drive was not recognized and had to be re-intialized. I was eventually forced to do this after attempts to repair the drive were unsuccesful.
    So it seems the computer is having problems both booting up from and recognizing drives. I installed a new battery but I'm still having problems this morning. I'm getting tired of PRAM zapping. Help.
    500mhz. Dual processor (revision B) dual boot   Mac OS 9.2.x   768 mgs. RAM

    Hi
    I'm not sure from your post whether you just have problems booting and running applications off an internal drive, or whether you've also tried booting off the external drive as well and had the same problems.
    If it's always an internal drive perhaps there's a problem with the ATA ribbon cable or ATA controller on the logic board. I guess you could try replacing the ribbon cable. Presumably it's seated correctly both ends and hasn't been pinched or damaged at all? It seems like a long shot, but I guess it is the PRAM reset that temporarily fixes the problem rather than the fact you've opened and closed the case, which will have caused the ribbon cable to flex and move slightly? With the case open, can you cause similar problems by applying some finger pressure to the cable? Failing that I guess you could try by-passing the onboard ATA controller by using an ATA or SATA PCI card. In general SATA cards seem cheaper than ATA ones now and you'd also be able to take advantage of faster, higher capacity drives.

  • Ultra 5 Solaris 9 Install Woes

    OK - Like a lot of other lost souls here, I bought my hardware on eBay 'cuz it was cheap & I wanted to try some of this legendary Sun hardware. I've been rather disappointed so far, but not ready to give up yet. Here's my history: Successfully installed & ran Solaris 8 for a couple of months last year, then upgraded to Solaris 9 when it came out. Installations & upgrades were awkward & had to be repeated to get them right, but until about 2 weeks ago I had a Solaris 9 system that seemed pretty stable.
    Then something happened - don't have any idea what. The system suddenly started bouncing incoming email... I could access it remotely using SSH, but not from the console. So - I figgered it just needed a re-boot.
    Tried this several times with no luck. The boot process would halt after a variety of error mesasges; one was words to the effect that some file wasn't a valid ELF file, was not executable, etc. I thought I must have corrupted the kernel somehow. Oh what the heck I thought, I'll just re-install from cd.
    That was 3 days ago. Since then I've been unable to get the system back up after numerous failed install attempts. Each time I run fsck it finds several errors that need correcting. I correct, re-try, but still no luck. I'm beginning to think that I've got toasted hardware (hard drive?), or that there's some corrupted files on the drive that the installer is not overwriting (Yes, I am doing a 'fresh' install each time).
    Now I've learned that the IDE drive in this system is not really supported by Sun (can't format the drive in-place). I tried running some diagnostics from the format utility, but it won't allow some of these as I can't seem to umount all partitions (tried umountall, but still cannot unmount all partitions). I was able to get the analyze->read to run - it reported no problems with the hd.
    I've tried a little self-help reading, too. Bought a copy of Paul Watters' book "Solaris 9 Admin, A Beginner's Guide"... it hasn't been much help & appears to suffer inaccuracies & incompleteness. So, I'm stalled out - thought I'd try posting here & requesting some advice & counsel. Is there a place for cheapskates like me to go to get help with their raggedy-assed Ultra 5's?
    Thanks,
    Jay Moore

    This system is starting to annoy me also :-) (by the
    way, when you newfs'ed slice 2, this is meant to
    represent the whole disk and should never be touched.
    This is not a good thing to doodle with :-( You arn't
    trying to put a mounted partition on this slice are
    you?) I'm sorry - when you said c0t0d0s* I thought you meant all slices. I reckoned the important stuff was outside of the 'overarching' slice s2. Did I blow it?
    Before we get into the rest of it, I got the following on the initial boot attempt following power-up:
    "Not a valid ELF file.
    The file just loaded does not appear to executable"
    <<Groan>>
    Do a prtvtoc on slice 2 and make sure that the
    "First Sector" is 0 and the "Last Sector" is the
    greatest number in the list, well there will be two of
    them hopefully but nothing bigger than slice two. If
    this is ok then;I saved the results of prtvtoc to a floppy... here 'tis in its entirety:
    * /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 partition map
    * Dimensions:
    * 512 bytes/sector
    * 63 sectors/track
    * 16 tracks/cylinder
    * 1008 sectors/cylinder
    * 16708 cylinders
    * 16706 accessible cylinders
    * Flags:
    * 1: unmountable
    * 10: read-only
    * Unallocated space:
    *     First Sector Last
    *     Sector Count Sector
    * 16837632 2016 16839647
    * First Sector Last
    * Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
    0 2 00 1049328 5548032 6597359
    1 3 01 0 1049328 1049327
    2 5 00 0 16839648 16839647
    7 8 00 6597360 10240272 16837631
    This looked reasonable to me, so I continued:
    Probably the best plan I can get from here, assuming
    that cd#2 was installed correctly and the system was
    booting for the first time (I think it does this from
    disk after #2) is;
    1) ok> boot cdrom -s
    2) fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 (hope this is the root
    slice!).Received msg: "FREE BLK COUNT(S) WRONG IN SUPERBLK"
    A "salvage" was reported, and we moved along...
    3) mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
    4) cd /a/etc (watch the a, it is important here) << I did... >>
    5) mv /a/etc/path_to_inst /a/etc/path_to_inst.old
    6) init 0
    7) ok> boot -a (hit return for all questions except
    the rebuild path_to_inst one, answer yes for that). Oh
    and by the way, if you look at the "Multiple QFE Quad
    Cards" in the installation board then Reynald_sw was
    told the same thing from someone too :-) This may
    answer any problems that you may have on the change
    and goes in a bit more depth.
    8) You should now have a Solaris login prompt, but if
    it goes t*its up again let me know where and we will
    see what can be done.No - I'm sorry, but I'm still hosed. I got to the point in the "boot -a" process where it asked for the physical name of the root device[blah, blah]. WHen I hit 'Return' I quickly got about 2-3 screens full of warnings and errors about undefined symbols, and "Cannot load module tcp", etc, etc.
    Once again - I appreciate your patience. I'll understand if you want to throw in the towel... I just I hope I haven't dug a deeper hole for myself. I'm learning a lot if that helps motivate you :)
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • Os 9 Startup Woes

    Im having problems getting my beige G3 with mac os 9.2.2 to start.
    With extensions on, it boots up then freezes a minute after showing the desktop.
    With the extensions turned off, it boots into a functionless desktop, encorperating a blank desktop background with a finder bar at the top without any apple menu or text, or icons, folders etc. Sometimes alerting me that the finder has quit, you may not have enough hardware, and to gain access to the OS by booting of the installer discs.
    Holding down the c key at startup (with the OS 9 CD in the drive, or any other bootable disc) causes a "file map inconsistent" error, or loads into the OS as if the c key hadnt been pressed.
    I had this mac up and running about 5 months ago, and since then has moved locations and isnt on any network.
    Im lost at what to do next to try and fix this. If you guys can give a helping hand, then please do. Ask for more info if needed too.

    Hi, Kell -
    Since the machine has been moved, it would be a good idea to open it up and verify that all internal cable connections are good - often a visual check is insufficient, and it is necessary to unplug and replug the connections.
    Ditto the RAM modules - the jarring and slight twisting of the chassis during a machine move can work things loose.

  • Startup woes

    I have a wireless keyboard attached to my iMac.
    Occasionally on power up, two things happen which are probably not related, but always seem to occur together:
    My wireless keyboard takes a good 30 seconds to respond after the appearance of the login box, before I can type in my password.
    The grey menu bar across the top does not appear until I open my first app.
    Any ideas what's going on here?

    No, nothing.
    Enjoy your Mac
    EDIT: Actually it returns the right hand side of your menu bar to default, so you may need to checkmark in the preferences put back an item, if it's missing.

  • Solaris 9 Install woes, 32bit 4m, 8bit console

    Whilst attempting to install the latest release (non beta) of 9 in 32bit mode on my sun4m (SS5) via a dumbterm console (VT420), I've found that once I manage to get all of the settings and work through the somewhat arcaic installation (as compared to say, 2.6), I get the wonderful bar akin to 8's install, and immediately dropped right back to a root prompt; no errors, and virtually nothing that I can find to discern what the issue might be.
    I've checked the CRCs and the burns, all appear fine; I'm installing from a Yamaha 4416SX CDRW, which handles 512 and 2048 modes beautifully; it's installed 8 as well as 2.6 on this machine. There is no flakey hardware at play; my SCSI chain is properly terminated, and I am just flabbergasted at this point.
    Has anyone had issues of this sort, or have any pointers where I might look? A subsequent reboot fails from disk, as the miniroot is no longer setup to mount from the CD, although I could boot single and poke about.
    Many thanks!

  • Startup woes followed by slow functionality.

    Hi all
    I have a MacbookPro 2006, 3Gb Ram, 500 Gb internal drive. 2.33 Dual Core. The Logic board and HD were replaced about a year ago.
    Never had an issue really with it.
    Not until I dropped it the other night.
    Wouldn't start up fully. The chime, screen lit up, no apple. Just grey screen and fans whirring.
    Now, I've two backups, a cloned version on an external drive about a month old and a current Time Machine backup.
    - So I boot off the SL disc, and tried Disk Utility, reported issues it could not fix.
    - Booted off DiskWarrior DVD. Reported major issues and that it couldn't replace the directory.
    So I harvested the latest files using DW, no harm even with the two backups.
    BIte the Bullet.
    - Boot off the SL disc, ran Disk Utility, erased the drive, writing zeros to disk. Ran smoothly.
    - Ran the SL installer to do a clean fresh OS install. Quit half way through, said it couldn't install all the support files.
    Hmm...
    - Rebooted off the SL disk. Ran Restore Backup from A Time Machine from the menu, selected my most recent full backup. It took seven hours, did it, reported no issues.
    - Restarted. Grey Screen, chime, Apple logo, spinning cogwheel... and that's it.
    - Rebooted off SL disk, Ran Disk Utility, Repaired disk, it did a bunch of things. Repaired permissions too.
    - Restarted. Grey Screen. chime, Apple logo, spinning cogweel... that was it.
    - Restarted in Safe Boot mode. Ran fsck twice till it reported no modifications.
    - Restarted. Same as before.
    - Rebooted off DiskWarrior disk. Checked the directory, reported only minor issues, suggested replacement directory, replaced the directory.
    - Restarted. No difference, stuck at the logo.
    Hmm...
    - Downloaded the 10.6.5 combo updater, maybe that might 'bless' the internal HD to boot.
    - Booted off an external drive, ran the combo updater on the internal drive.
    - Restarted.
    - Got all the way to my login window. Logged in. The whole thing slow as treacle.
    And there I find myself, with a Mac that is struggling, clicking anywhere results in a spinning beachball. Finder windows take an age to draw, if they actually do manage to draw. Launching programs is impossible.
    Help much appreciated. I'm baffled.

    You say you have a bootable clone? What happens if you boot from it?
    You might want to try running SMART Utility:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/smartutility.html
    You can download the demo and run it several times for free. It will give you a detailed analysis of the physical health of your hard drive. It is more critical than Disk Utility, and may pick up signs of a failing hard drive, which could be the problem.
    The drop could have jarred almost anything. If the HD checks out OK, you may need to open it up and reseat some cables on the logic board.
    Good luck!

  • X-61 STARTUP WOES

     For  over  3 weeks  now  my  x-61  is   dead  .Initially  I  had  this  Genuine  Window  vista  business   preloaded  on  my  thinkpad  than  the next  thing  I   tried  sort  of  a  geek  which  actually  am  not   and  tried  upgrading   to  vista  ultimate Courtesy   a    friend  from  overseas   and  I  very gladly   tried  the  upgrade  procedure  and      in  the  end  the    key  entered  was  rejected  since   I  suspect  the  version  and  the  key  itself  was  fake. 
     For  a  week  I  tried   punching  in  the  same  22digit  code  but  to  no  avail .While the   thinkpad  wouldn't  start up  in  normal  mode  I  was  booting  the  same  in   safe  mode  by  hitting  F7   .Later  I  tried  partioning  the  drive by  shrinking  the  volume  of  C:/ drive  and  which  I  though  succeded in  and thought  I  atleast  will  have  have  the  humble  window xp  installed  on  the  partioned  drive  being  E:/  I  had  the  xp   copied  to  my  sandisk  4GB  flashdrive  and  tried    moving    the    same  on  Drive E:/  it  did  move   but  the  installation  feature  remained masked  and  unhighlighted  .In  utter  frustation  thereafter  I   activated  the    drive  ignoring  the   caution  window  that  the  if  the  same  is  done  pre installation  of  any  OS  the  computer/thinkpad   may  not  start  at  all . I  threw  caution  to the  wind   and  now  the   state  I  am  in  is  zulu!!!! 
    I  have  tried  all  options  but the  system   just  does not  boot  On  pressing  the  power  button   I get  the  two  liners  staring  at  me  which  reads : BOOTMGR  IS  MISSING   PRESS CTRL+ALT+DEL to  restart  .But  the equation   hardly  helps   tried   entering   bios  utility  too, more  often than  not   by  hitting   F1  delete  and  whatever   but  again    nothing  works    Forumers .Is  there   a  way  out  of  this    deadend  zone  to  enliven   the  x61  again  without   having  to   go for  pricey  repairs  from  outside   or  even  use  the     USB  optical  drive  which  I  am  without  as  of  now  .By the  way  this    piece  is  just  about   2  months  old and  is  still  brand  new .Can  some  one  rescue  and   guide  me  through  this    maze

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If I understand correctly, you tried to upgrade from Vista Business to Vista Ultimate using a pirated version which didn't work.  Then you tried loading XP which also didn't work.
    I'm going to assume you didn't make the backup discs before starting all this, so that you don't have a copy of the original pre-load to start over with.  Contact support in your country, and purchase a set of the preload discs for Vista Business.  Load them, and you should be back to where you were in the beginning.

  • Solaris Management Console Issue

    SMC is running and all services are running (WBEM etc..)
    I log into the box as root and then start SMC

  • After using Time Machine-Computer Freezes on startup and will not sleep.

    I've narrowed down my iMac issues to Time Machine.
    After I back up with Time Machine, my iMac freezes on start up ( I have to turn it off and turn it back on again for normal start up) every time I turn it on and it will not sleep.
    I reset the SMC, startup in safe mode, and do all of the troubleshooting to get it back so it starts up without freezing (sometimes my troubleshooting works). I've even reinstalled SL a couple of times and that seems to have helped but...
    ...when I back up with Time Machine, the freezing issues and non-sleeping issue return.
    I've just installed the 10.6.2 update and my iMac is now working perfectly, no freezing on start up and it sleeps.
    I'm afraid to use Time Machine for fear of the problems returning.
    Any ideas on why Time Machine would corrupt my system? Any thoughts on how I can remedy the situation?

    Hello m:
    The preference file (plist) tells OS X what default and/or user preferences to apply to a device or a program. They rarely become corrupt, but if they do they cause all sorts of odd behavior.
    After you trash the preference file and restart, OS X will rebuild the missing file with default values. If you have some personal preferences, you would need to enter those.
    Barry
    P.S. The preference file I mentioned is located in Macintosh HD>library>preferences

    What I'm doing wrong?
    thank you for help, Snir

    I've got the same problem but on a Win98 platform also in Solaris OS
    By copying the file JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar to the following path :
    JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/
    another alternative is to set your classpath so that it point to the .jar files in your environnement variaoble
    ex under Win98:
    include this line in your autoexec.bat file
    SET CLASSPATH=.;c:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;c:\jdk1.3\lib\dt.jar
    under Linux:
    edit your .source that include environnment variables and add :"anOldPath:/jdk1.3/lib/tools.jar"
    run the source in your terminal window then you can run ./startup under solaris or startup.sh
    JAVA_HOME : c:\jdk1.3 or c:\jdk1.2.2 under win98
    /home/user/auser/jdk1.2.2/ on linux
    I hope that you encounter this problem.
