Solaris 10 with Solaris 9 containers

A customer has Solaris 10 servers. They are interested in making solaris 9 containers on this system. Is that doable? I thought you could only build solaris 9 containers on Solaris 9 systems....

Solaris 10 runs both Solaris 8 and 9 Container software. yust download the correct software from : http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/containers/getit.jsp
There is lots of documentation on how to configure but its no different then a native zones/container.
You can even create a Solaris 10 zone (not the same as native) using the solaris 9 container as a template.
I've used it very succesfully to migrate a number of old solaris 8 and 9 servers and had no problems what so ever.

[SOLVED] SGA_MAX_SIZE pre-allocated with Solaris 10?

Hi all,
I'm about to build a new production database to migrate an existing 8.1.7 database to 10.2.0.3. I'm in the enviable position of having a good chunk of memory to play with on the new system (compared with the existing one) so was looking at a suitable size for the SGA... when something pinged in my memory about SGA_MAX_SIZE and memory allocation in the OS where some platforms will allocate the entire amount of SGA_MAX_SIZE rather than just SGA_TARGET.
So I did a little test. Using Solaris 10 and Oracle 10.2.0.3 I've created a basic database with SGA_MAX_SIZE set to 400MB and SGA_TARGET 280MB

$ I wasn't sure whether Solaris 10 was one of the OSs with truly dynamic memory for the SGA but had hoped it was... this seems to say different. Really I'm just after some confirmation that I'm reading this correctly.
Thanks.

I don't want to get bogged down in too many details, as the links provided in previous posts have many details of SGA tests and the results of what happened. I just want to add a bit of explanation about the Oracle SGA and shared memory on UNIX and Solaris in particular.
As you know Oracle's SGA is generally a single segment of shared memory. Historically this was 'normal' memory and could be paged out to the swap device. So a 500 MB SGA on a 1 GB physical memory system, would allocate 500 MB from the swap device for paging purposes, but might not use 500 MB of physical memory i.e. free memory might not decrease by 500 MB. How much physical memory depended on what pages in the SGA were accessed, and how frequently.
At some point some people realised that this paging of the SGA was actually slowing performance of Oracle, as now some 'memory' accesses by Oracle could actually cause 'disk' accesses by paging in saved pages from the swap device. So some operating systems introduced a 'lock' option when creating a shared memory segment (shmat system call if memory serves me). And this was often enabled by a corresponding Oracle initialisation parameter, such as lock_sga.
Now a 'locked' SGA did use up the full physical memory, and was guaranteed not to be paged out to disk. So Oracle SGA access was now always at memory speed, and consistent.
Some operating systems took advantage of this 'lock' flag to shared memory segment creation to implement some other performance optimisations. One is not to allocate paging storage from swap space anyway, as it cannot be used by this shared memory segment. Another is to share the secondary page tables within the virtual memory sub-system for this segment over all processes attached to it i.e. one shared page table for the segment, not one page table per process. This can lead to massive memory savings on large SGAs with many attached shadow server processes. Another optimisation on this non-paged, contiguous memory segment is to use large memory pages instead of standard small ones. On Solaris instead of one page entry covering 8 KB of physical memory, it covers 8 MB of physical memory. This reduces the size of the virtual memory page table by a factor of 1,000 - another major memory saving.
These were some of the optimisations that the original Red Hat Enterprise Linux had to introduce, to play catch up with Solaris, and to not waste memory on large page tables.
Due to these extra optimisations, Solaris chose to call this 'locking' of shared memory segments 'initimate shared memory' or ISM for short. And I think there was a corresponding Oracle parameter 'use_ism'. This is now the default setting in Oracle ports to Solaris.
As a result, this is why when Oracle grabs its shared memory segment up front (SGA_MAX_SIZE), it results in that amount of real physical memory being allocated and used.
With Oracle 9i and 10g when Oracle introduced the SGA_TARGET and other settings and could dynamically resize the SGA, this messed things up for Solaris. Because the shared memory segment was 'Intimate' by default, and was not backed up by paging space on the swap device, it could never shrink in size, or release memory as it could not be paged out.
Eventually Sun wrote a work around for this problem, and called it Dynamic Intimate Shared Memory (DISM). This is not on by default in Oracle, hence you are seeing all your shared memory segments using the same amount of physical memory. DISM allows the 'lock' flag to be turned on and off on a shared memory segment, and to be done over various memory sizes.
I am not sure of the details, and so am beginning to get vague here. But I remember that this was a workaround on Sun's part to still get the benefits of ISM and the memory savings from large virtual memory pages and shared secondary page tables, while allowing Oracle to manage the SGA size dynamically and be able to release memory back for use by other things. I'm not sure if DISM allows Oracle to mark memory areas as pageable or locked, or whether it allows Oracle to really grow and shrink the size of a single shared memory segment. I presumed it added yet more flags to the various shared memory system calls.
Although DISM should work on normal, single Solaris systems, as you know it is not enabled by default, and requires a special initialisation parameter. Also be aware that there are issues with DISM on high end Solaris systems that support Domains (F15K, F25K, etc.) and in Solaris Zones or Containers. Domains have problems when you want to dynamically remove a CPU/Memory board from the system, and the allocations of memory on that board must be reallocated to other memory boards. This can break the rule that a locked shared memory segment must occupy contiguous physical memory. It took Sun another couple of releases of Solaris (or patches or quarterly releases) before they got DISM to work properly in a system with domains.
I hope I am not trying to teach my granny to suck eggs, if you know what I mean. I just thought I'd provide a bit more background details.

HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10

I am having a problem to start the HTTP Server on Solaris 10 (I am installing HTTP Server as part of HTMLDB installation on Solaris 10).
I had a problem to install it at first, however I've found on 'AskTom' that unsetting ORA_NLS33 helps and it did. Now I can't start the HTTP server and I've found on metalink that 'HTTP Server is not currently supported with Solaris 10, this is targeted for Q2CY05'.
Has this been fixed yet?
Thank you for your time.

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

Dual OS system booting issue - Solaris with Windows XP Pro

Hi,
I have installed Windows XP Professional with SP2 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 (Intel Core 2 Duo). I created partition as below,
C: 25GB (Primary : Active) Installed XP
D: 15GB (Primary) - Tried to install Solaris here

1. I tried to install Solaris 10, booted up system from DVD and selected Solaris. I got a message related to "License..." and it stopped right there, nothing showed up on screen after the message. I forced it to shutdown.
2. Next, I tried with Solaris Express Developer edition DVD. I was able to proceed until "Install" option. After clicking "Install" button, it reported some account name(no account name found) setting problem and quitted from installation. It asked to remove the DVD manually. But I was not able to eject it, got stuck. I switched off it and removed DVD.
When I bootup the system next time from HDD or CD or USB bootable backup, it showed blank screen and blinking cursor. I am not able to boot system with Win XP or USB Win Xp bootable. I am able to enter BIOS setup.
Please let me know how to boot up Win Xp and install Solaris with it.

with my little experience i find solaris 10 isn't able to install on sata hdd but with solaris express edition 5.11 i was able to install it on my lap top toshiba tecra and now i can boot with xp sp2 and solaris i hope this answer your question .

Several mysterious problems with Solaris 11 x86 install

Hi folks,
I've recently installed Solaris 11 x86 as a replacement for Solaris 9 SPARC on an Ultra 2 machine. I like the operating system, but I've promptly acquired some mysterious problems. The computer is a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E2500 with a Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, an 80 GB SATA disk and a 147 GB SCSI disk.
I have had a few occasions on which the screen goes totally blank, the monitor claims that there is no signal, and I have to restart the machine. However, with the blank screen, the hard drive activity light is sometimes still flashing. This happens predictably when I try to log off (as opposed to shutting down) and when I use Totem media player and click on anything inside the Totem window. The motherboard has built-in graphics and brief specifications can be found here:
http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/professionalpc/ESPRIMO/Datasheets/ds_esprimo_edition_e2500.pdf
Yesterday my PS/2 keyboard started causing the motherboard to beep crazily when I use it. It beeps rapidly 4 times, then prints the expected character. However, the problem doesn't occur at the initial log in screen. The mouse cursor has also gone beserk on one occasion, flying all over the screen (I had this problem with a previous PC, but a different OS, and thought it was a hardware fault, which I why I got this new computer). With the keyboard problem, the machine is basically unusable. However, it is configured as a dual boot machine, and the keyboard problem isn't present with Windows XP.
There are also a few smaller, odd problems. Occasionally all the icons vanish from my Gnome desktop. The command prompt also mysteriously changed from $chris@pluto to $bash-4.1 just before the keyboard problem appeared, although that might have had something to do with me copying my home directory to a different disk and editing the /etc/auto_home file (moving the home directory worked fine). Also, unlike with Solaris 9 SPARC, I find that I have to have external SCSI devices switched on at boot time, should I want to use them later. That's a pain. With Solaris 9, I could run "boot -r" when I first attached the device, then switch on the SCSI devices and mount them whenever I wanted.
After the useful advice I received here about "more" and "less", I thought I'd post these problems and see if anyone can help. I'd really appreciate some advice. Can anyone identify likely causes for these problems? Which problems can I expect to solve and which do I have to live with?
Many thanks,

i tried using dbxml build with this BDB. i was able to execute one or two commands without the dbxml dumping core.
But my application dumps core during startup as sigbus (memory alignment issue).
I googled and found that people have faced problems of sigbus on solaris. when i checked with solaris, it seems that if the solaris box has 137111-0 to 137111-08 will face core dumps due to memory alignment issue which they say is because the application has misaligned mutex.
please suggest what should i do .
a)apply the sloaris kernel patch to temporary solution(as they claim the patch for thsi problem will give temporary solution .)
b) i have to compile the BDB with different options.

Hello,
You need to apply the patch below on top of Berkeley
DB 4.6.21:
*** dbinc/mutex_int.h     Tue Jul 01 15:03:43 2008 +1000
--- dbinc/mutex_int.h     Tue Jul 01 16:11:06 2008 +1000

#ifdef HAVE_MUTEX_SPARC_GCC_ASSEMBLY
typedef unsigned char tsl_t;
+
+ #define     MUTEX_ALIGN     8
#ifdef LOAD_ACTUAL_MUTEX_CODE
This corrects a Solaris-only alignment problem.
Thanks,

Sun DS 5.2 p3 with Solaris 10

I've been trying to test out using LDAP to replace NIS.
My setup is a Sun Sparc box with Solaris 10 running
Sun One Directory 5.2 patch level 3. I have two x86_64 client
machines; one running Red Hat 4 and the other Solaris 10.
I have been able to authenticate on the RH 4 machine
with no problems, but have been unable to on the
Solaris 10 machine. I'm using Sun's native LDAP
client tools.
I've tried configuring the DS for anonymous access
to proxy access with simple authentication, but neither
one seems to matter.
I've copied over the pam.conf example provided by Sun
today, but it still doesn't seem to work. I can do a
"getent passwd" on the RH 4 and get all the local accounts
and the test one in the LDAP server. If I try that on the
Sun box I only get the local accounts, however if I
do a "getent password testuser" on the Solaris 10 box,
then I get the right account info. It looks like I can even
see the passwords, which are stored using md5; not
crypt, if that matters.
I'm tried searching for more info, but it doesn't appear
that DS 5.2 has been used too much on Solaris 10;
nor does Gary Tay's great documentation cover
Solaris 10. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
I can't believe it would be this hard to set LDAP up
with just Sun software.

See related posts:
http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2005-August/006688.html
1) make sure /etc/nsswitch.conf has this entry in it:
ipnodes: files
2) must run these commands as root:
crle -u -s /usr/lib/mps
crle -64 -u -s /usr/lib/mps/64
Other than that I didn't need to do anything different than solaris 9.
I did have to run this command on occasion though:
svcadm enable svc:/network/ldap/client:defaulthttp://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=271&threadID=25523

Does HP Proliant DL380 G4 work with Solaris 10?

Hi everybody!!!
I�d like to know if anybody made HP Proliant DL380 G4 work with solaris 10.
I didn�t find this server in HCL for solaris 10.
has anybody tried to install solaris 10 on this server?
tnx very much
regards
The player

I've tried. The biggest stumbling block is the RAID controller if you are using one. I was using a Smart Array 5300 but couldn't find a driver. As memory serves me, and it was a year ago on a G3 with version 9, you need to use the second or third ( I forget) CD for Solaris and not the first to set it up and you need a startup diskette (my name for it, Sun calls it somethig else) with the array driver on it. It was a real pain especially when my version of Red Hat Liniux found the controller right off the bat and installed nicely with NO errors. I think Sun's clunky installation needs some work to make it work better. Maybe Solaris 10 is different.

Hello all,
I've been trying to get apache 2.0.58 that's shipped with Solaris 10 (Sparc) with mod_wl_20 from Weblogic 8.1 SP6 with not much luck.
Every time I try connect to a mapped application via Apache+weblogic_mod I keep getting 404, it seems like the plugin isn't even being invoked, as apaches logs keep saying:
File does not exist: /var/apache2/htdocs/examplesWebApp
I copied over mod_wl_20.so from WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib/solaris and put it on the solaris box with apache in the libexec directory.
My httpd.conf is basically a copy of the httpd.conf-example with the following entries:
LoadModule weblogic_module libexec/mod_wl_20.so
<Location /examplesWebApp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost 192.168.10.120
WebLogicPort 7001
Debug ON
WLLogFile /tmp/test.log
DebugConfigInfo On
</Location>
Strange thing, the /tmp/test.log file gets created, but no logging dumped there.
If I connect to the Weblogic Server host, via port 7001 the examplesWebApp works just fine.
Have I missed something? - is the version of Apache2 that comes with solaris 10 okay?
Thanks for help in advanced.

Hi haili,
Thanks for the reply, I've modified my entry in httpd.conf to
<Location /examplesWebApp>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicHost 192.168.10.120
WebLogicPort 7001
Debug ALL
WLLogFile /tmp/weblogic.log
WLTempDir /tmp
DebugConfigInfo ON
</Location>
The log file /tmp/weblogic.log is no longer been created.
Has anyone got it to work with the standard apache 2.0.58 shipped with solaris 10?
Thanks,
_rob

DefaultTableCellRender not working on solaris with JDK1.3.1

HI,
I have upgraded my JRE from 1.2.2 to 1.3.1. I was using
the following piece of code
column = new TableColumn(1,200);
column.setCellRenderer(new DefaultTableCellRenderer());
this was working fine with Jre 1.2.2 where i just was painting the cell with blue/green colors based on some conditions. but once i migrated from jre 1.2.2 to jre1.3.1 without changing the code, i found that it is working the same way with windows environment but it's not able to paint the cells properly with solaris 5.8 environment. to paint the cells I am using Color class. I was using
color1 = new Color(144,202,182); //light green
Color2 = new Color(145,168,199) //light blue
however on solaris both of them are being displayed as light blue colour.
I want to know what could be the reason for such behaviour? Are ther any patches available for the solaris with jre1.3.1 so that this problem can be fixed.

Try this:
Bug ID: 4382860 DefaultTableCellRenderer has new optimisation that make it difficult to ...

Solaris 8 client setup with solaris 9 ldap

I have managed to install iplanet directory server 5.1 that comes with solaris 9 using the utility idsconfig. As far as i can tell, all went well. Now i'm trying to initialize a solaris 8 client to authenticate to the iDS 5.1 on my solaris 9 box. What do i have to do on the solaris 8 client to "initialize it"? I've tried using ldapclient on the solaris 8 client as follows:
# ldapclient -v -P default x.x.x.x
but i keep getting the following errors:
findDN rename(/var/ldap/ldap_client_file.orig, /var/ldap/ldap_client_file) failed!
findDN rename(/var/ldap/ldap_client_cred.orig, /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred) failed!
There are no files in /var/ldap. I thought that one uses ldapclient to create them. Am i wrong?
Also, the output from idsconfig says that a 'NisDomainObject' was added to my domain but looking at the object classes in iDS5.1, there is no nisdomainobject.
I also noticed that when i run the command domain on my solaris 8 box, there's no output. Do i need to set the domain on my solaris 8 client? I have the domain defined in /etc/resolv.conf.

Network connectivity on Sparc with Solaris 8

Hello friends,
I have a Sparc Ultra 5 machine with Solaris 8 .
Now I want to establish network connectivity by configuring net work card in it.also I want to establish connectivity with Intel Systems also.How can I accomplish this.
I will be grateful to you if u cud guide me in this.
Thank u in anticipation
sreerama

I think the V20z have an ordinary broadcom chipset, if so the network interface should be called bgeX.
So try:
ifconfig bge0 plumb
.. dont forget your /etc/hostname.bge0 file..

Problem with solaris install/boot

I recently had to use solaris at work and liked it. So thought of getting it on intel box at home to learn it. I have never worked on a unix based OS before. When I installed the OS first time, the desktop would not start up, this was because of network setup. Reinstalled worked. After a week due to some problem i had to reinstall OS, installation went fine and but when i reboot i get this errror.
cannot find mis/krtld
boot error loading interpreter(misc/krtld)
elf32 read error
load error read of "platform/i86pc/kernel/unix failed.
boot path /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide0/cmdk@0,0:a
i have been trying to reinstall with many option like formatting with windows fdisk, linux installer everything as I saw somehwre that disk needs low level format.
I have googled but could not find any reason.
When I try to format disk using windows this is the information gatherd
Partition1 (solarisboot) 12 MB
partition2 unknown 152610
Hardware
pentium4 2.4 GHZ
1Gb DDR memor
Intel Original mother board.
140 Gb hard disk
Installation
install type 3 (tried all options)
entire disk for boot and solaris
accepted almost all parameters.
downloaded again , burned a DVD still same.
Any help will be highly apreciated, as I have been trying out everything I could find, also I really want to learn to use solaris

Weird; it wouldn't be so hard installing/running Solaris 10 on your hardware.
If you haven't tried Solaris 11 (Solaris Express) yet, I would suggest you to download the latest Solaris Express bits from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/solaris-express/get.jsp.
Hope the following hints are useful, for a smooth installation:
Choose:
* Solaris Interactive installation in the initial screen.
* Networked in Network Connectivity screen
* Use DHCP
* No to IPv6 & Kerberos, if running Solaris 10 is the only priority
* None to Name Service (assuming the machine is not in corporate network)
* CD/DVD to "Specify Media"
* Default Install to "Select type of install"
* No to "Do you need to override the system's default NFS version 4 domain name?"
Note:
Once the installation from CD1 is complete, system boots up from the hard disk; and it may appear that it is not going to ask for CD2. Just be patient, and wait for it to ask you about CD2.
