Solaris 10 Sparc - Linux2.6 x86

I want to port my Solaris 10 Sparc V240 machine's output to be displayed in my x86 CPU installed with JDS Linux2.6. I tried with xhost and also set my DISPLAY variable... but it showed nothing.
Can it actually be done? if not why? I could port Solaris 10 x86 CPU's output to be displayed on Linux x86 CPU....
hope can clear my doubt.. thanks

I will assume that you have done this before and it had worked for other sytsems.
It would help if you gave more details. Like show the command you ran to set DISPLAY (use a fake name for the host if desired). What is the command your are trying to have displayed remotely?
Also did you get an error?
-If so, it could be as simple as the DISPLAY variable not being exported (i.e. export DISPLAY).
-If not, do you have multiple displays? For example I have two and if I want windows to appear on the second I set DISPLAY=desthost:0.1 which makes it show up on the second one. Did you just set DISPLAY=desthost:0 and it could be defaulting to a "fake"display that doesn't actually exist so you don't ever see anything.
Another possibility is that the host name lookup is giving you some other systems IP address. Make sure your lookups are going to the correct place (BTW this is probably a long shot).
As a side note. You may consider using VNC to do this. Just set up a VNC server on the host you want to get to remotely. Then run a VNC viewer on the remote host and run the commands (windows) under VNC. The added benefits are that it's much faster when using this over a WAN with any kind of VPN tunnel and you can exit the viewer while leaving the commands running and go back in later, even from a different system to check on them.
Hope that helps.

  • Solaris 8 on Sparc and X86

    Will I experience any problems connecting a Trusted Solaris 8 X86 systems to a SPARC Trusted 8 system? Will all the trusted features work between the two.
    Thx

    I am using Java 5.0 to develop applets, but if I use
    all the possibilities that 5.0 version offers (such
    as enum) that means that clients viewing my applet
    must have JRE 5.0 as well. Does that mean a very
    recent browser will be required?no.
    I found which browsers support Java 5.0 on the page
    J2SE 5.0 "Supported System Configurations" at
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.h
    tml
    In short, what I take from there is that browsers
    required would be:
    - Mozilla 1.4+
    - Internet Explorer 5.5 (SP2+), 6.x on Windows
    platforms
    - Netscape 4.7.x on Solaris 8 on SPARC and x86
    - Netscape 7 and 7.1 are not offically supported, but
    should work
    I have no idea how recent these versions are and
    whether it is acceptable to assume that web visitors
    will have these versions. I'd think it is almost safe to assume people have those, they're not that young. the question is rather "do they have the JRE 1.5.0?"

    Oracle Instant Client was a "feature" introduced with Oracle 10g. There is no 9i version.
    Code that links with Oracle 9i libraries should be able to be linked with Instant Client 10gR2.
    The resulting application will be able to connect to databases from Oracle 8.1 onwards.

  • Migration from Solaris Sparc server to Solaris  x86

    Hi ,
    I would like to know.
    Migration from SAP ECC6 , Oracle , Solaris Sparc to Ecc6, Oracle, Solaris x86 , Is this consider Heterogeneous or Homogeneous system copy?
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    ck chai

    Solaris on SPARC is a BIgEndian platform, Solaris on X86 is LittleEndian - so it's heterogeneous --> you need to use R3load to performa a migration - and you need to have a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration (http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).

  • OracleAS R2 - Cluster Mixed Solaris SPARC/x86?

    Is a mixed Solaris SPARC/x86 active-active cluster environment supported for OracleAS R2? What I mean by this is, can I put together a supported environment where an Identity Management node (node 1) is running as SPARC, and a second Identity Management node (node 2) is running Solaris x86?
    Both OS's would be as identically configured as possible (both OS version & patch levels).
    Cheers, Brad

    Metalink note 429995.1
    Says
    Goal
    Is it supported to install Application Server Oracle Homes on different operating systems or different versions of the same operating system?
    Example 1: AS Infrastructure is installed on a Solaris 8 server and a Business Intelligence and Forms Middle Tier is installed on a Solaris 10 server.
    Example 2: AS Infrastructure is installed on a Red Hat linux server and Business Intelligence and Forms Middle Tiers are installed on Windows 2003 servers.
    Solution
    It is completely supported to install each Application Server oracle home onto a different operating system or onto different versions of the same operating system.
    Both of the above example scenarios are supported.
    The only restriction is that members of a Middle-tier DCM-Managed OracleAS Cluster must be on the same operating system 'flavour'. As per the High Availability Guide:
    All Oracle Application Server instances that are to be members of a DCM-Managed OracleAS Cluster must be installed on the same flavour operating system. For example, different variants of UNIX are clusterable together, but they are not clusterable with Windows systems.

  • How print duplex on Solaris 10 0508 x86 ?

    Hello,
    I just installed Solaris 10 0508 x86 on a Ultra 20. We have a networked HP laserjet 8150dn printer. What is the option to print duplex?
    Previously on Solaris 10, 1106, I followed the instructions on http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/duplex_printing.html and was able to print double-sided.
    However, now on update 0508, the same lp and lpadmin option "-o sides=two-sided-short-edge" doesn't work - still prints single-sided. What gives? Please help me save a tree!
    These lp or lpadmin options didn't work either:
    "-o duplex"
    "-o sides=duplex"
    Also looked at HP's SOLe134.PKG, but it's for SPARC, not x86 - couldn't find a download for x86.
    Thanks!
    Edited by: onetree on Jul 16, 2008 9:36 PM

    I'm not sure if there was some sort of corruption, but I eventually resolved the issue by removing and readding the printing-related packages from the CD:
    SUNWpcr
    SUNWpcu
    SUNWpsr
    SUNWpsu
    SUNWpsf
    SUNWscplp
    SUNWspman
    SUNWscpu
    and then installing a default local virtual printer before the network one:
    # lpadmin -p new-printer -v /dev/term/a -T PS -I postscript..
    # enable new-printer
    # accept new-printer
    # lpstat -t

  • W2100z Supplemental 2.5 XpReburn produces non-bootable ISO in Solaris Sparc

    Just posting in case helps someone else...
    The XpReburn script from the W2100z Supplemental 2.5 CD is commented as being able to run on Solaris Sparc:
    # This script was developed on Solaris X86. It will run on Solaris Sparc
    # and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. It is not guaranteed to work unmodified  
    # accross all versions of Linux. This script is experimental. Some end user
    # MODIFICations may be necessary for it to run on other linux distributions 
    # and system configurations.Running XpReburn under Solaris Sparc 10 produced an .ISO image apparently without error, but the resulting image would not boot.
    Found the cause of the non-bootable image was the following section of XpReburn. It was using dd and od to extract 16-bit LBA values. On Solaris Sparc it ended up reading little-endian values as big-endian, hence extracting the boot loader from the wrong part of the XP CD. To get it to work under Solaris Sparc added conv=swab twice as shown below:
    # Read the boot loader from the CD into the image directory as a file. This process takes
    # several steps because the boot record has to be consulted to locate the RBA (the
    # starting LBA of the boot catalog). The boot record always resides at LBA 17
    ${ECHO} "Reading WinXP Boot Loader from CD..."
    ${ECHO} "  Looking up boot catalog lba from boot record..."
    ${DD} if=$CD_DEVICE bs=2048 count=1 skip=17 | ${DD} bs=71 skip=1 count=1 | ${DD} conv=swab bs=4 count=1 of=$SCRIPTDIR/foo
    BOOTCATLBA=`od -d $SCRIPTDIR/foo | ${AWK} '{print $2}'`
    ${ECHO} "  Boot Catalog is at LBA $BOOTCATLBA, looking up boot image LBA..."
    ${DD} if=$CD_DEVICE bs=2048 count=1 skip=$BOOTCATLBA | ${DD} bs=40 skip=1 count=1 | ${DD} conv=swab bs=4 count=1 of=$SCRIPTDIR/foo
    BOOTIMGLBA=`od -d $SCRIPTDIR/foo | ${AWK} '{print $2}'`
    ${ECHO} "  Reading Boot Image from LBA $BOOTIMGLBA..."
    ${DD} if=$CD_DEVICE bs=2048 count=1 skip=$BOOTIMGLBA | ${DD} bs=2048 count=1 of=$IMAGEDIR/$BOOTIMAGE
    ${RM} -f $SCRIPTDIR/fooWith the above mod, XpReburn generated an image which booted the XP Pro installer and allowed XP to be installed.

    Michael,
    Reading the submission guidelines it appears BigAdmin is for you own work:
    By submitting content to the BigAdmin portal, you are attesting that your submission is your own non-confidential property and does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any party.
    Whereas my "hint" above is really a bug report / enhancement request for a Sun supplied script.
    I only have a basic support plan so don't think I can raise a bug report.
    Also:
    1) The modification listed was a quick hack to get the script to work under Sparc Solaris, but which would have caused the script to generate a non-bootable ISO if run under X86 Solaris.
    2) If you run the script on a ZFS filesystem you get an error that the filesystem isn't local - the script should be updated to consider a ZFS filesystem as local.
    3) If the script is run on a Solaris system with two optical drives, the script fails with an error because fails to correctly read the volume name of the XP CD. Can't remember the details, but just hacked the script to work.
    So, so for now will just leave the "hint" in this thread.

  • Sparc  vs X86 Compatibility

    I installed Solaris 10 to an x86 machine
    I am trying to run some Solaris binaries (probably Solaris Sparc)
    it gives an error
    "invalid argument"
    question is:
    Does not Solaris have binary compatibility? Can't a Sparc binary run on an X86?
    I am totally confused

    What? I thought the whole point of Solaris x86 is that it can run Solaris binaries. So Solaris x86 is not Solaris?
    Is it true that any binary compiled under Solaris on a sparc machine will not run under Solaris x86?
    If true, I completely fail to see the real utility of Solaris x86, at least for my applications, which were all compiled on sparc machines.

  • Solaris Licensing on x86

    We are currently in the process of preparing a proposal to one of our customers.
    Our customers environment is based on Solaris (SPARC) and we hope to replicate some of that environment in our location on Solaris ( x86) and use it for development and performance testing.
    My question is does the OTN license cover the Solaris licenses or do we need to purchase additional licenses?

    In my opinion Oracle is on a good way to banish the loyal Solaris x86 customers like us, which have big server like Sun Fire X4600 M2. As we are a public company, we need to do public tenders for machine, so we get what we get, maybe Sun-Oracle, maybe HP, whoever make the better deal.
    So what are the prices for running Solaris x86
    e.g: HP 970 8 Sockel, 8 Cores vgl. https://shop.oracle.com/pls/ostore/f?p=ostore:2:0::NO:RP,2:PROD_HIER_ID:6916016290451192110906
    Native Solaris 10 x86: 8 x 1584 = 12672 € / year
    Vmware ESX mit Solaris 10: das gleiche = 12672 € / year
    Oracle still did not recognise "soft partitioning" technologies such as VMWare and Microsoft Virtual Server when licensing by processor/CPU. Instead you must licence by the physical processor in the underlying hardware. (see http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/partitioning.pdf) "hardware partitioning" technologies are recognised, but Oracle places some caveats on this also.
    Oracle VM with Solaris 10: (hard partitioning) ... grey area
    but !
    Oracle Linux Premier Support = 1.812 €/ year ... per system, number of cpus is not counting (factor 10)
    Oracle Linux Network Support = 93.96 € / year ... per system, number of cpus is not counting (factor 120, if you don't want support on a call basis, just the software & patches).
    So we have started to think about to get rid of Solaris, where we can easily, because this new license feed for solaris are absurd.
    And no, the sales representative are clueless, whoever I call, can not give me clear saying e.g about running Solaris on Oracle VM, are e.g. Fujtsu maschines like M4000 out of scope or not.
    Quite fed up with this topic ...
    kind regards, thomas

  • Orion download Solaris/SPARC

    Just downloaded Orion Users Guide from
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/orion/index.html
    The Users Guide (on page 2) states that the Orion software is available for Linux/x86, Solaris/SPARC and Windows/x86.
    However only the following software files are listed on the download page:

    Please include a link to the Solaris/SPARC version, if it exists !
    -- Peter

    You can find the Sparc downloads on the site. The problem is actually getting it to run. I've been trying to run it for some time and it keeps giving me the following error:
    Parse error: View help screen using orion -help
    although I'm 100% sure that the parameters are right. trussing shows that Orion relies on a lot more than the documentation says. I'm currently downloading Instant Client to try to satisfy the requirements (this wasn't mentioned anywhere by the way). http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/sol64soft.html
    For example, some libraries such as libociei.so, libclntsh.so.10.1 and libociicus.so to name a few.

    Hi,
    I posted this a week ago, but now that the newsgroup server has been

    Does anyone have any comments on running WLS, WLCS on Solaris/Sparc vs.

    support.

    Then you start getting to the high end gear with
    features like hot swap components. Redundant power
    supply. Splitting boxes into redundant hardware
    domains etc. These features are insanely expensive in
    the sparc world, but pretty much don't exist in the
    x86 world...Why such features don't exist is x86 world?
    There are a lot of servers based on x86 (Compaq/HP ProLiant, HP Netserver, IBM NETFINITY atd etc.), they have redundant power supplys, hot plug/swap hard drives and other redundant hardware.
    I worked few years with Compaq/HP ProLiant servers, they are entry level in pricing, but giving a nice performance and redundancy. Actually, in 3 years of my work, they never failed, exepting hard drives failure and hot swapping them to new ones without work interruption.
    x86 based servers can be even up to 8 CPU's and more.
    Still largest servers are based and will be based on RISC architecture.

  • Enterprise Manager grid on Solaris 10 for x86 server

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle 10g R2 on Solaris 10 on x86 servers.
    I was going through the documentation library. I could find the EM Grid documentation for all platforms like Linux, SPARC, HP-UX, AIX etc.
    However, I could not find anything for Solaris on x86 machines.
    Is there any documentation specific to the x86 architecure or should I simply go through the SPARC documentation and take all the learnings from there?
    Please let me know.
    Thank you
    KV

    Are you referring to the agent install or Grid (OMS) part. I don't see EM/Grid binaries for Solaris x86..that should explain why you couldn't find documentation for Solaris x86.

Maybe you are looking for
