Solaris 10 SPARC DHCP Server causing disconnects every hour

I am using Solaris 10 SPARC (Netra X1) as a router (DHCP/NAT)
I'm running the built-in dhcp-server with the following in /etc/inet/dhcpsvc.conf
DAEMON_ENABLED=TRUE
RESOURCE=SUNWfiles
RUN_MODE=server
PATH=/var/dhcp
CONVER=1
HOSTS_RESOURCE=files
ICMP_VERIFY=false
INTERFACES=dmfe1
LOGGING_FACILITY=1
VERBOSE=TRUEI have made an entry for my MAC address
# pntadm -P 192.168.1.0 | grep 192.168.1.218
010026B9B29555 00 192.168.1.218 <MY IP> Zero UNKNOWNHowever, if I rely on DHCP I get disconnected for a few seconds every hour exactly. All my SSH connections drop and I get disconnected from any IRC server I am on.
If I set my client to a static IP this issue disappears, which leads me to believe it's DHCP who is the culprit here.
Does anyone have any suggestions? From the pntadm output "Zero" should mean the lease never expires, right?
Thanks

A 64 bit VM is not necessarily faster than a 32 bit one. I remember at least on suggestion that it could be slower.
Make sure you use the -server option.
As a guess IBM isn't necessarily a slouch when it comes to Java. It might simply be that their VM was faster. Could have used a different dom library as well.
Could be an environment problem of course.
Profiling the application and the machine as well might provide information.

Airplay disconnects every hour

I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro running OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 connected using AirPlay to an updated AppleTV. I am NOT running battery power. Using iPhoto I am playing a slideshow on the TV. The slidewhow runs seamlessly but the AirPlay connection automatically disconnects every hour (exactly one hour).
It is not a networking issue associated with any latency or interference. There are no other devices on the wireless network; the environment is free of other sources of competing RF energy. I have no overlapping channels, competing radios or other sources of RF energy in the same frequency range (I live in the country and the nearest home is more than 1/2 mile away). There are no operating microwave ovens, bluetooth devices, cordless phones, baby monitors or other potential competitors in the area. Even if such interference were present it would not account for an interruption that occurs at exact 60-minute intervals. To further prove this I have verified that the problem still exists when connected via Cat5e.
When the AirPlay connection is broken the slideshow continues to play on the MacBook. If I stop the slideshow and re-start it the mysterious 60-minute disconnect counter does NOT reset; it still disconnects exactly one hour after the AirPlay connection started. This suggest the issue is not a timer or setting in iPhoto.
I tried unchecking the "Automatic graphic switching" box in the Energy Saver section of System Preferences but this actaully caused a random freeze in the slide show.
I suspect there is a setting somewhere that I am unaware of or have overlooked. Has anyone had this problem or can you suggest a fix? There are lots of posts on the Internet of people having AirPlay disconnect at irregular intervals but I cannot find one that addresses a non-networking-related every 60-minute disconnect.
Any insight will be appreciated.

It may be worth looking at what your DHCP lease is set for on your dhcp server. If it is set for a 1 hour lease it may be the cause. You could try setting up the ATV and the Macbook Pro with a static IP or set your dhcp lease to expire at a longer interval, say 4 hours to see if it goes longer than an hour. I have seen dhcp lease setting cause this type of problem in the past.

Solaris 10 x86 & DHCP server

Hello
I am trying to create a jumpstart server to install some IBM HS20
blades (usb cdrom is not supported for the installation as I know), so
I installed Solaris 10 x86 in a vmware virtual machine and I am trying
to create the jumpstart server, starting by the DHCP server ! this is
the problem !
My configuration is really simple, I followed the SUN instructions to
create the DHCP configuration...
Any help will be appreciated , thanks in advance

what's your DHCP server configuration?
type dhtadm -P and that will print the configuration of the dhcp table and all your macros.
On another note, I also have a blade server (3Up CMU-4) that has USB keyboard and mouse, even if the interface is PS/2 (converted internally to USB). Solaris will not recognize the keyboard and mouse when installing or booting, but after the kernel is loaded I can use them OK. I do get the keyboard profile error and I think it is related to the fact that there is no PS/2 k/m enabled. The only way that I found that I could use the mouse in the graphical interface was to use a USB keyboard with a hub and connect a USB mouse to the keyboard, Anybody has any explanation for this behavior?

Mail is delivered as soon as it arrives at gmail server instead of every hour as I requested

I have set my mail preferences to get mail every hour. But mail arrives when it arrives. It can be every few minutes. This has been going on for a while (Not helpful, I know, but bear with me.)
For the last few weeks I have been getting an exclamation mark next to one or the other of my gmail accounts with errors that range from 'non secure device' to ' too many connections'. Trawling through the gmail forum has led me to follow all of the steps they suggest but the 'too many connections' things won't go away.
One point they make is that if you are 'getting' mail more frequently than every 10/15 minutes this can cause the problem.
Now, if I could pinpoint the actual time when this phenomenon of mail appearing when it wants to began, we would have an idea of whether it was connected to the latest Yosemite update. Unfortunately, I can't.
But I have trawled all through the account settings on google and cannot find any place where I set when gmail sends my mail so I reluctantly conclude that Apple Mail is ignoring my setting of 'check once an hour' and is checking at some randomly selected period.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any idea about how to fix it. I am fed up with going to gmail captcha and telling it again and again to accept this device; with signing in on gmail to the account in question; with this whole stupidity in general. Once I do all of the above, everything seems fine until the next mail arrives when the exclamation mark appears again and I have to go through the whole rigamarole again.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the detailed procedure, it helped a lot!

NTFS server keeps dies every hour.

I have iFS up and running on an NT 4.0 machine. I am using SMB for users to access their information.
(1) I would like to know why the NTFS server keeps dying after every hour or so.
(2) How I can avoid this from happening again.
Thanks.

You need to make sure first that if you have enough memory. See our installation guide for memory requirements. If you have your Database on the same machine as iFS, you need at least 512 MB of memory.
If the problem still exists, we need more information to diagnose what is wrong. Can you provide your NTFS log file?

Solaris v10 sparc jumpstart server on x86 solaris - can't find miniroot.

I am trying to setup a jumpstart install server on an x86 solaris v10 machine to do a sparc network install. I downloaded both the CD and DVD sparc v10 ISO's. When I mount the CD, the Solaris_10/Tools/Boot directory (miniroot system) is symlinked back to ../../../s1 which does exist. I can't find it on the CD, I've used prtvtoc and this slice does not seem to exist.
On the DVD iso, the directoy exists, but many files cannot be read, almost like the filesystem is corrupt.
I've download these ISO and burned them many times, so I know it's not an issue with hardware or the CD/DVD media.
Where can I download a working sparc solaris v10 miniroot system?

There is no such entry under solaris. This entry only exist on windows.
On solaris you need to change entries in the kjs script (prior to SP3)
or iasenv.ksh (after SP3)

WRT300N disconnects every hour

i updated the firmware, but it doesnt seem to solve the problem.
i heard somewhere that linksys admitted that 300N router has an issue, but is not going to anything about it because the problem is with the hardware, not the firmware.
if someone fixed the problem, i could use some help.
thanks very much.

Change radio band to wide, standard channel to 11. Change advanced wireless settings : change beacon interval to 50, fragmentation threshold to 2306, RTS threshold to 2307, DTIM to 2

EA 2700 disconnecting every once in awhile. (30/60minutes)

Heya,
I'm having issues with a newly bought EA 2700 router, I'm getting disconnected every 30-60 minutes. (It's a brief disconnect for about 10seconds, perhaps a huge packet loss or something?)
I've tried connecting directly to the modem and that seemed to have fixed the problem, so I think that it is a router issue...?
Perhaps somebody here knows how to fix this. Would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I'm connected with a wire. Also, my download/upload/ping is 35mbps download, 35ish mbps upload, and 8ms. (I have a 35mbps connection so that's fine) But when I connect my PC to the modem directly, my MS becomes 5, and my upload jumps to 77mbps. The download stays the same... I thought that was quite strange. ;o

Hmm alright. I've already reset it multiple times, also reverted it to factory settings twice. But I keep disconnecting every hour orso. The firmware is up to date as well. My NIC is running at 1.0 gbps, I'm not sure where I can see what the router is at however. But I assume 1gbps as well? I've tried disabling UPnP, disabling IPv6 at the network adapter. I also tried to set the router to Bridge Mode, that made my upload go up to 77mbps again and my Ping down to 5, but I disconnected every few minutes for a while, then the day after (I went to bad cause it was driving me insane) it seemed to work for a while, but then I started getting disconnected for brief moment again. So I put it back to automatic DHCP config.
Edit: I also tried to empty the %temp% folder, that seemed to help, but not for long. (Perhaps not at all.)
Edit2: I also replaced my network cable twice, but seeing as the issues went away when I plugged directly into the modem I figured that that couldn't be the issue either...
Edit3: I keep remembering things that I tried to do in order to fix this, I also reinstalled my network drivers. ;-)

Does solaris dhcp server support user class

Does solaris dhcp server support user class(option 77). In my environment, solaris dhcp server seems just ignore this option set in the client dhcp discover.
Does anybody can help me.

The clients are all Windows 7 x64 (but I've replicated the problem on MacOS and Solaris clients). The server is Solaris 11 x86.
For the problem to be the ARP cache, wouldn't the client's MAC address have to change during the reboot (i.e. the change in the client's MAC address is what causes the ARP cache to get confused, and hence the client gets blocked because of the MAC mismatch)?

Configure DHCP Server in Solaris 10

Hi,
I am trying to configure my Solaris 10 as an DHCP server. I managed get it configured and assigning IP address to my client machines (Windows XPs). However, I can't figure out how to get the "Default Gateway" passed into the Windows XP. Here is what I have done so far:
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -D -r SUNWfiles -p /var/dhcp
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -N 192.168.1.0 -t 192.168.1.1
# pntadm -A 192.168.1.51 -m dns 192.168.1.0
But on the Windows XP clients, I get the right IP address, and netmask, but the default gateway is blank. How do I specify that in my DHCP server so that the default gateway gets sent to the XP clients?
Thanks.

Get the apache server from www.sunfreeware.com and install it on your server.
The url will http://hostname-of-your-server
Go to apache.org to get apache documentation.

Upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc E2900 server

Hi,
We have a Sparc E2900 server which has Solaris 8 & Veritas Volume Manager 4.0. UFS & VXFS filesystems are under Veritas control.
We are planning to upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.
My questions are as follows
1) Can we upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 directly ?
2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?
3) Which is the best site to get information regarding upgradation ?
Regards,
Tejas J Raval

2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?No, it dows not. If you want to use VxFS you still need to have Veritas products installed on this server

Solaris 10 x86 PXE and jumpstart using Linux DHCP server !!

Hi,
I am trying to get a my Solaris 10x86 jumpstart rolling.
I have created the images for the OS, but the only issue I have ahead is using a Linux box as a DHCP server for my X86 box to get the image.
Is it possible to have a linux host that serves as a dhcp server to jumstart X86 host with Sol 10 x86
or do I need to have a solaris host that runs DHCP service on it.
Any advice on this issue.
Thanks.

Well, if you don't think the online Documentation helpful, then the better way is reading step-by-step instructions from a book. Get to local bookstore, i.e Barne&Nobles or Border or any big local bookstore, there should be pretty good book for Unix Administrator (Solaris version).
If you have time and think you can memorize then, read on the spot; otherwise, buy the book for future reference.
If that's not what you had in mind, then this link of free online book might help : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/solaris8/chapter/ch04.html
Normally, oreilly online bookstore offers free books to accredited universities, colleges, and organizations. However, if that option isn't for you, it might even offer free sample chapters that might just suit your needs.
hoep it helps.
