Solaris 10 syslogd question

Is there possible disable syslogd "last message repeated" -rows and print content as it?

I don't think you can disable that functionality in syslogd, i think its a part of its built-in behaviour as of how it buffers and flushes messages.
You could however take a look at syslog-ng:
http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog-ng/
Its a bit more configurable and can probably be configured to display each message (in fact i think its the default of syslog-ng, but i might be wrong).

A small conglomerate of E450/Solaris 10 Questions!

To whom it shall concern or can just help out:
Solaris 10 Questions
If I wish to run an iSCSI target under Solaris 10, will GA do it or do I need the Express verison of Solaris 10 (for an E450, SPARC)?
If the GA version of Solaris 10 supports iSCSI targets, how capable is it to socialize that with ZFS in combination?
Can Solaris 10 (for SPARC) support any IDE PCI cards on the E450?
Can Solaris 10 (for SPARC) support any USB PCI cards on the E450?
Can Solaris 10 (for SPARC) support any FireWire (1394) PCI cards on the E450?
Other than Solaris Express being more experimental than the GA version, how problematic is it to run Express vice the GA in terms of daily reliability?
Taking a presumptive position that Solaris 10 Express or GA allows for an iSCSI target capability (with or without ZFS inclusive thereto) has anyone attempted to connect to such an alleged Solaris iSCSI target successfully from MacOS using this initiator:

E450 Questions
What DVD drives are support on the SCSI bus for an E450 to boot from for the purposes of asserting a DVD based Solaris 10 installation?
I am also looking for any of the following hardware (if you have it at a good price, do contact me offline at 310-358-0202, or [email protected]):
(a) DVD Drives
(b) Backplane hardware and cables requisite to increase the amount of DASD that can be installed in an E450 from 4 to 12 or 20
(c) RAM
(d) Processors
(e) Multi-port Ethernet cards
Thanks in advance!
Stuart

I have been running solaris 10 on an e450 for ages
and it works fine. I slid the drive out of a
Blade1000 to load the DVD.
Which version (specifically) of Solaris 10 are you running?
GA?
Express?
Which month/year release?
Regarding the DVD:
An interesting solution, though I do not have a Blade1000 handy, so I will continue to look for a compatible DVD player I can use within the e450 for an inexpensive price, unless you are suggesting that a Blade1000 with a DVD is cheaper than a DVD for the e450. Are you suggesting such?
HCL lists are available for the e450.Perhaps you can suggest where I might find them sir?
That truly would be helpful, as I had presumed already that such lists were existent.
>
The backplane can be bought cheap to expand the drive
number.Still investigating the part number, but yes, I'd imagine so. Do you perhaps know the part numer for this item sir?
>
Not sure about any of the iscsi stuff.Too bad, that was an important part of the information I was looking for.
>
Ebay ebay ebay for e450 gear. Once I know the part numbers, ebay will be a great tool for finding the hardware, I agree.
>
On another note, the e450 is a beast weighting in
around 300 pounds fully loaded. Sucks up more power
than NY city on a hot day and can heat a fairly large
building. Not to mention they sound like small
airplanes.
I live in Vegas, electricity is burned out here in outrageous amounts on a daily basis.
Indeed, I am presuming that when they (I have two) are running during the winter, that I will be able to heat my 1895 sq foot house (or at least one deck of it).
I know they are one of the most interesting computer
designs out there but unless you a glutten for slow
processors max 480 mhz I would suggest you buy
something a bit newer. One ultra45 would be better
and hold more drive space and ram.
Years in the computer industry and I will never understand why, when people ask technical questions others feel they are helping to say "replace your hardware", when indeed it is not broken and they are attempting to use it. I have to admit, you are not the first to do such a thing.
I understand you think there is something better, and honestly, I certainly am not inept enough to have not considered that, yet still I posted the query in the instant post asking about the e450.
Consider this: perhaps I was interested in using the e450 and getting the questions answered...nah...why would I want to do that?
If you do like the old hardware and redundancy is not
critical I would suggest getting a blade2000 off of
ebay for around 600 dollars. Still big and beautiful
but far far faster. I use a Blade1000 (wont die) and
have firewire drives plugged into it for more space.And what suggestion would you proffer if the $600 budget is not there?
Using the e450 perhaps? :)

Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name?

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on <i>"how do I install my OS"</i>
You particular question is in the <i>"how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive"</i> forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?

Tomcat 3.1 on Solaris 8 question

I would like to use the above product as my JSP container.
I am running into a problem when it comes to "mod_jserv.so".
I can get this to work all day under Linux. Now that I have
moved my application to a Solaris 8 machine, I can't get my
apache web server to properly load the mod_jserv.so library.
My question is, is there a mod_jserv.so for Solaris? I can't
seem to find any answers on jakarta.apache.org.
Thank you.

Actually, if you read further and see the large table with the performance comparisons using the different threading options on machines with different CPUs/configurations, it says:
"Here's a table of results on various Solaris boxes, all running Solaris 8 with JVM 1.3.1: "
So it looks like it should work fine with 1.3.1.

Urgent: Solaris newbie question: group permissions etc

Hi
I have a question on what is the best practice of working with solaris users and permissions. I'm using Solaris 10 and have created several users each with their home directory in /export/home. Then i have installed the sun webserver under /export/home/sun/webserver and i want all users to be able to use this, execute or copy over to the webserver.. would this be a valid solution or good practice solution tht i crete a group give it the permissions to read/write/execute and all the users i want to give this privilege to will be under this group. but then whats the use of having root like how would root user be different from the rest now...
thanks...

If you just want them to be able to publish to the web, apache has a little built in script in the httpd.conf that will hook in a user directory. Read the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file for more info.
Whether this is best practice I am not sure. What you suggest will work but I would avoid it.

Solaris Installation question (from sun course)

Hello, I am just learning about solaris from the course WS-2001-S10. I hope this kind of question is fit for this forum...otherwise please direct me to where I can ask about it.
There is a review question at the end of the installation module like this:
Which Solaris 10 OS installation methods are available to perform a standard upgrade?
     Solaris suninstall and Custom Jumpstart
     [x]Solaris suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart
     Solaris Web Start and Custom Jumpstart
Feedback:
     Correct.
The correct answer is 2 but i don't really get it why. In the course they say nothing about Web Start and from what i have read Web Start is just a Web-Based Jump Start installation.
In the course SUN says that "The methods available for a standard upgrade are Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure. "
So "suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart" from the answer equals "Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure" from course...
Also from what I understood the jumpstart installation is also CLI ...(totally confused now)
Can someone shed some light on this please?

Prgraming for Solaris - Basic Question

Hi,
I am very new to Unix and Solaris and have some questions I hope some one maybe able to help with.
I was recently handed a new application which runs on a Unix server with Solaris OS 10 installed. I connected to the server remotely and have done some basic Unix Shell programing to help automate many of the functions.
Here is my question. I want to create a GUI interface to allow uses to run some programs. I have some experience with Java and .NET programing. So I am familiar with object oriented programing. However I am somewhat lost in this new environment and need some guidance.
My server has the latest java run time environment. Can I create a java app on my PC and move it to the unix server?
Is C the only programing language for Solaris?
Thanks in advance.
Phil

Phil,
If you already have shell scripts for these "apps", then the easiest implementation is just to do it in CGI since all you need to do is reformat the output and just use HTML forms to take inputs from the user.
However if you really wanted to, then you could rewrite your code for implementation in JSP. You could call it with something like :
java.lang.Runtime rt = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.getRuntime().exec("/home/user/HelloWorldApp.sh");Make sure that all the environment variables (e.g. PATH) are explicitly set in your shell script since the JSP forks the script with a different user ID which I think is "nobody" and so your script may either (a) run with unexpected results, or (b) appear to not run at all.

De-installation of Solaris 10 Question

How do you de-install Solaris 10?
I installed it on my Dell Laptop last night that already had Windows XP. I was familiar with SuSe, so I did not think there would be any issues.
But....
1. I didn't get dual boot. It's Solaris 10 boot only.
2. None of the hardware was recognized, so I can't get on the internet or anything.
I am thinking that the best course of action is to remove Solaris. If anyone has the procedure for that, I would appreciate it. Also, if anyone has a fix for the two problems, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

Most operating systems don't have an uninstall. You just install something else on top of it.
What model laptop do you have? I thought most dell NICs were supported?
There are several howtos out there for dual/triple boot machines with XP/Linux/Solaris on them.

Solaris 10 question: What is the maximum memory support at a x64 system?

I am trying to install Solaris 10 U4 at a x64 Intel system. When the OS installation cd boot, it can only recognize up to 32GB memories. After installation with 64GB memories, at the 1st boot, the system will continuously reboot automatically. So I would like to know if Solaris 10 can support 64GB at a x64 system. If yes, then does anyone have any idea how I can counter this problem. If not, then any idea why?
Thanks~
Anthony

Hi,
If you install the faster 800 MHz alongwith the existing, then the faster memory will also default if any of the existing is of a lower speed. That said, 800 MHz will also work just as the 667 MHz with a slight difference.
Good luck !
Hit kudos if I helped.

Forms & Reports Services Standalone 10.1.2.0.2 in a Solaris 10 question.

Hi everyone
I have installed Forms & Reports Services Standalone 10.1.2.0.2 in a Solaris 10, it is possible install in this sqlloder utility?
I need sqlloader access from a form by a 'host' command, is that possible?
I try this command from the form:
HOST ('sqlldr user/pass@servicedb control=/home/oracle/controlfile.ctl');
but it didn't work... is there other way?
Thanks.

You can easily create new report servers on a machine. However, to run several reports in parallel you do not need extra servers. You should configure your existing server with extra engines. This can easily be done by changing the maxEngine attribute of the engine section (engine with id=rwEng) in <reportserver>.conf file. You can also manipulate these values through Application server Control. Change the value to 2 and you can run two reports at the same time. depending on available memory you might consider a value of 4 or 8 as well.

Solaris JVM question

Hi,
I am a newbie on Solaris and have found that there is a significant degredation in performance when my java application is run on a Solaris JVM as opposed to a Windows JVM.
I'm running with the -server option which has helped, but was wondering if there is some other tuning that I could do in order to make the HotSpot JVM as fast as possible.
Thanks,
Tom

Check your JVM settings, they make a lot of difference to the performance. It also depends on the load you have on the system. Windows does not do as well when compared with Sun when there is a high load.

Hi Anthony :
Do you know something about performace between
Tuxedo 32-bit and Tuxedo 64-bit ?
Thanks ...

Do you working in Bea or other Enterprise ??

Hi Alex, we are also using tuxedo 32-bit on Solaris 64-bit operating
system. There
is no problem doing this as your solaris version supports both 32 bit
and 64 bit
programs. The things to watch out for are when you are building a tuxedo
application,
you have to make sure that all the libraries you link with are also 32
bit libraries,
including oracle. We ran into build problems when some libraries were
32 bit
and others were 64 bit.
There's good information about 32bit v 64bit on solaris at the following
web site...
http://docs.sun.com/?p=/doc/806-6543/6jffrdmee&a=view
I personally would use 64bit if possible, but it's no big deal to build
32 bit
applications because my tuxedo application does not need a 64bit address
space
and is not computationally heavy. Most of the CPU takes place in the
database,
which in our case is Oracle, and which happens to be 64bit anyway. So
it's not
a bad thing to build a 32 bit tuxedo application that runs on a 64 bit
operating
system, for most types of tuxedo applications.

there is support from Bea . Is that is correct ???
I'll need used Tuxedo 64-bit ,you could benefit in performance.

If the platform list shows that a 32-bit build is certified on a 64bit
OS, then you can run it there.
If you want an actual 64 bit build, it is because you want the big
address space, longer longs in FML, and everything else you get from
64
bits.
If you want to have an application span Solaris and Digital UNIX, which
is always 64 bit, you might want both to be 64 bits so that you do
not
lose any data in the conversion.
On HP, you can't link 32-bit Tuxedo with another product that is 64-bit
(Oracle for example). You might need a 64 bit Tuxedo in order to work
with other products.

Solaris x86 or Solaris 8

What is the latest version of solaris on intel called? Is it generic
across intel boards? Are there some pitfalls to look out for (i.e.
only runs on 400 MHz or less, only a handfull of graphic cards, etc.)
What is the best C/C++ compiler? Does it support Visual Workshop?
How about Motif? What version? We were using Motif 1.2.4 on X11R5
from ICS, is this OK? Any heads up would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Solaris 8 is currently available at
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/index.html
Not sure what you mean by "generic across intel boards" - it's the
same kernel, but drivers will differ depending on your H/W config -
see the HArdware Compatibility list:
http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/index.html
There are freeware e.g. GNU compilers - go to sunfreeware.com
For serious commercial development, the Sun Workshop tools are
available - Workshop 5 is shipping now and you can get a WS6 early access at the access1.sun.com website.
CDE seems to have taken over from Motif. For details on X11R6 features etc, follow the first link below:

Shared memory in solaris 10 with oracle

Hi, I am a newbie to solaris and i have some questions on shared memory, Oracle in Solaris
My Questions might seem different, however please do read and try to answer. Thanks in advance.
1) if a solaris server has say 40gb of Ram, what would be the maximum size of a shared memory segment in this machine?
I know that if the server has 40GB. then max shared memory size is 10GB i.e. one fourth of ram, however not sure
2) What is the maximum size of a shared memory segment in solaris that a root user can define.
+ i know that its some where near 14 GB not very sure +
3) Assume i have created a user X and i allocated say 10GB limit for this user for shared memory.
I login to solaris using X and now, can i increase the size of the shared memory that this user can use?
I have a situation, where the root user, created a user named DBA and the root user allocated some 15gb for this DBA user as the max SHM limit.
Now the DBA user has set the max limit for shared memory as 1TB, which is causing hell of problems in the system.
* I am Not very sure on the concept. I am new to this product and facing this problem. please advice.*
+ Thanks +
Krishnakanth (Simply KK)

Not sure why your "oracle" user (owner who will be creating the instance) has been assigned the project user.root. I would say create a seperate project may be "dba" and give access to this project to the owner of the user who will be creating the oracle instance.
and then try to issue the command:
prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 8gb -r -i project dba
and check to see if you are still facing a problem?
