Solaris 10 x86 and 3Ware Escalade controller

Hi there,
I would like to install Solaris 10 x86 on a server which uses an ATA-RAID-controller from 3ware (Escalade 7006-2). I haven't found any information on Solaris support for this controller so my question is if anyone of you has some experience with this controller and Solaris 10.
Thanks in advance
Jens

Hello Jakob,
this is the wrong forum because it's about Sun Hardware and only user-to-user.
I would suggest that
you use your service-plan and contact Sun
or
join the Solarisx86 group on Yahoo, browse the previous posts and then re-post on this maillist.
Please check the Links page before posting:

Btw. even the RAID functionality of the integrated RAID controller of Sun x64 systems isn't supported under Solaris 10 (only RHEL) ...

Sane, Solaris x86, and possibly Staroffice 8

I am running Solaris 10 6/06 and have installed the companion cd as well as someother things (Quake II, QEMU for example). I am trying to set up a USB HP office Jet 5500 all-in-one series. I set it up as a printer but i cant set up the scanner functions. I run the following commands and get the following output:
# /opt/sfw/bin/sane-find-scanner
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [hp], product=0x3a11 [officejet 5500 series]) at libusb:/dev/usb:3f0.3a11/0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x046d, product=0x0921, chip=ICM532B) at libusb:/dev/usb:46d.921/0
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
# /opt/sfw/bin/scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
As you can see SANE can find the scanner from 'sane-find-scanner' but does not recognize it with 'scanimage -L'. I would greatly appriate any assistance and thank you for reading this.

Hi,
Thanks for this answer. I4ve already been through this step, but debuging is really hard as you have to check multiple trace file.
Reading the docs back again, it seems linux kernel 2.6.9.x needs to be patched for EFI disk names.
I will ask the same question again : will Sun release a QFS install other than RPMs and working with UP TO DATE kernels ?
The only release is for kernel 2.4 or 2.6.9, and they both need to be recompiled with a damn EFI patch. Why not provide a rpm working against 2.6.10 or... 2.6.20 which already have it ?
My next move will be to try to run QFS with a 2.6.10 kernel (even if not supported).
ps : my hardware is a Sun Netra 4200. Os is Linux Centos 4, which should be (and is) binary compatible with Red-Hat. Why is the QFS install script not working then ?
Sun, please, Red-Hat or Suse are not the only Linux distro not the best. Open your eyes and your support to other distros :)

Help with oracle 10g install on solaris x86

hi, i downloaded solaris 10 from oracle site (sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso) and i have installed it on vmware. i was going through the installation guide for oracle 10 for solaris x86 and while on the pre-installation steps, i issued this command
# /bin/isainfo -kv
and it gave me
# 64-bit amd64 kernel modules
instead of
# 32-bit i386 kernel modules
as the guide expected.
please what can i do, cos the guide says if i dont see the later, the installation cannot complete.
thnx

First check you Operating System Bit information whether it is 64 or 32 bit , for this first check any of the command path
Example ls command
$ which ls
/usr/sbin/ls
$ file /usr/sbin/ls
It will show you whether your OS is 64 bit or 32 bit and accordingly download the software from below link ,if it is showing 64 bit os then you have to download 64 bit database software .

Need to install ORACLE 9i on solaris x86

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me where I can get DB Oracle 9i for Solaris x86?
If not, what can I use?
Thanks.
Marfy

Unfortunately no chance. 9i was never supported on Solaris x86 and is desupported now on all other platforms. Use 10gR2 instead.

Gcc 4.2.1 sun solaris x86

We installed gcc 4.2.1 on sun solaris x86, but it does give me thousand of errors related to error lib and including. It used to be working under old version 3.4.3 compiler.
Here is an sample error(even the basic string function" strcmp" is not recongnized):
/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bits/c++locale.h: error: strcmp is not a member of std"
It turns out all the stand libraries are not compiled correctly.
Please help
Thanks ahead

The info on Sun gcc download page is really confusing, the gcc will work on solaris x86 and the compiled executable can ONLY be executed on SPARC server. What a frustrating experience!Could you please let us know which page is that? Because the one I found - called "Product Downloads GCC For SPARC Systems" has SPARC written all over it:

Difference between Oracle VM on Linux x86 and Oracle VM Server for x86 on Linux x86

Hi,
Under the certifications tab for EBS 11.5.10.2, there are two fields for Virtualization software
1. Oracle VM
2. Oracle VM Server for x86
Oracle VM shows version 2.2.0.0.0 and Oracle VM Server for x86 shows version 3.2.6.0.0. Could you please let me know the difference between the two?
Thanks
Sarika

Hi,
Oracle VM shows version 2.2.0.0.0 and Oracle VM Server for x86 shows version 3.2.6.0.0. Could you please let me know the difference between the two?
Oracle VM 2.2 is for Oracle Solaris Sparc platform (Earlier know as Sun Logical Domains) - Only Solaris sparc Installation are supported on VM's
2.2 Installing Oracle VM Server on SPARC Hardware
Oracle Vm 3.2 is for X86 platform - using this VM you can Install and create Windows/Linux/Solaris-X86 and other certified OS.

Vantec PCIe SATA controller, Solaris x86

I've searched all the online resources I can find, and don't see an answer to this. Is there a driver for this SATA controller for Sol. x86, and if so, where would I find it?
Output of uname -X:
System = SunOS
Node = p810
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_139556-08
Machine = i86pc
BusType = <unknown>
Serial = <unknown>
Users = <unknown>
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 4
Card is a Vantec UGT-IS100R, you can see more about it here:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=V13-2602
PC is not COTS but homebuilt from various components. Motherboard is Asus M2N68-AM SE2. The card has one hard drive attached, a Western Digital Caviar, 1 TB. The card's a RAID controller, but with one disk it's obviously not doing any RAID stuff, and it recognizes the drive as a non-RAID device.
Boot drive is a 320 GB SATA connected directly to the motherboard (not to the Vantec). Windows 7, Slackware 12.2, and Solaris all installed just fine; Win7 and Slack recognize the Vantec and attached drive with no problems. Solaris seems to be working well in all other respects.
Thanks!
Phil

A little progress, and some more information.
1) I had downloaded Solaris 10 longer ago than I thought; I now have the latest-n-greatest (10/09). Output of uname -v is Generic_141445-09. This upgrade eliminated a message I was getting during boot with the older version:
ahci_port_reset port 1 the device hardware has been initialized and the power-up diagnostics failed
2) The Vantec card uses the JMicron 363 chip. After doing more web surfing, I found this thread relating to JMicron and OpenSolaris:
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=376370
Essentially I'm getting the same results as the OP in that thread, except that prtconf already shows my card in AHCI mode. cfgadm -la shows the controller there; cfgadm -c configure results in "failed" status for the controller; and no matter what I can't get it to recognize the attached hard drive.
I don't want to upgrade the card's firmware; having that drive available under Solaris isn't as important as having the card and drive work under Win7 and Slackware, so if I just have to live without it I will. So ... any other ideas? Thanks!

Solaris 8 x86 and 10 x86 differences

I have a device driver that works on Solaris 8 x86. I installed this same device driver on a box with Solaris 10 x86. Under Solaris 10 x86 I get a message "WARNING: minor name <tec
_0> is not compatible network driver name <tec>". Also, opening the device under Solaris 10 x86 will cause the OS to quit responding. Where can I find a list of differences between Solaris 8 x86 and Solaris 10 x86?
Thanks.

Another way to install Matrox G550 is to Install AcceleratedX from www.xig.com
It supports a lot of graphic card and it also supports hardware acceleration for OpenGL
BUt obviously its not free :(

Core 2 Duo and solaris x86 11/06 works for me

This is FYI, since I seen (and posted) problems, but I haven't seen the solution posted.
I have successfully gotten solaris x86 11/06 to install and run on my core 2 duo machine. I had tried solaris x86 06/06, but I could only run in 32bit mode until patch 118855-19 was installed. It looks like 118855-33 is the baseline for 11/06.
With 06/06 I had to edit the grub command and add " kernel/unix" to the end of the 2nd line. This would force 32 bit mode rather than 64 bit. If I tried 64 bit, it would enter an endless reboot cycle. Once I installed the patch to 118855-19 I could run solaris 10 06/06 in 64 bit mode without issue.
Again, since solaris 10 11/06 is at 118855-33, it runs on my core2 machine straight from the install.
Hope this helps

On a laptop there is little point with running a 64-bit operating system unless it physically has more than 4gb of ram, or if you are processing datasets exceeding 4GB of ram. Unless you're into assembly or use Solaris for some reason to manipulate media, little is to be gained by using 64-bit versions if anything. The increased pointer, integer, and padding causes more memory to use for the same software, most software on 64-bit operating systems runs in 32-bit mode because there is no need to have 16 exabyte memory addressing capability for anything but media encoders, giant databases, or extremely bloated single-threaded software. Sun Java Creator takes a heck of a lot of ram, but even at peak it's still under 4GB. If you move files bigger than 4GB, the ability to memory map all 4096MB might have less overhead on a 64-bit operating system, but generally from an end-user perspective, especially on a fast Intel or Opteron system, you won't notice the difference much. Solaris is bi-arch, a large chunk of Windows Vista and XP x64 is bi-arch, and most of FreeBSD and Linux are bi-arch in 64-bit versions, as I said, no point in making everything 64-bit. 64-bit device drivers is an issue for every OS, you should stick with 32-bit on a laptop, and hold off on desktops unless you need extended assembly registers available only in 64-bit mode.

Solaris 10 x86 and ethernet issue

I am running a Gigabyte 7NF-RZ mobo (nVIDIA chipset) with an onboard LAN. I installed the x86 version of Solaris 10 and it does not see the ethernet. So, I have two questions:
1) Is there a driver available for this and if so, where do I find it?
2) If I have to use a PCI ethernet card, which ones work with x86? I have check the HCL list and only Sun cards are certified. There are lots of other that are "reported" to work but I really don't want to have to buy several cards and experiment.
TIA

The old 3-Com 905B series is a safe bet. It's supported and Solaris comes with the driver(elxl) out of the box.

Cross compiling apps on solaris 8 for solaris 10 x86 and x64

Hi All,
We have a few applications built on Solaris 8. and we want to build the same apps on Solaris 10 x86 and x64 but the problem is clearcase does not support Solaris 10 yet.
Can we cross compile the apps on Solaris 8 for Solaris 10 x86 and x64 ? and how ?
waiting for any info on this.
TIA,
warm regards,
Girish

FYI, I noticed the reply on Sun Studio General Forum:
If you build an app on one version of Solaris, the app will run on later Solaris versions. So in particular, you can build an x86 application on Solaris 8 and run it on Solaris 9 and 10.
Unfortunately, an x64 application must be built on a Solaris x64 system, which first became available with Solaris 10.

Probably terribly obvious....VirtualBox and Solaris...only one controller?

Have VirtualBox 4.0.4 on a intel Mac. Installed Solaris 10, and I am in the process of setting it up. Will eventually install Oracle for development purposes.
Problem I am having is in creating a second virtual "disk"...I can go into the "settings", create a second " controller", etc Even create another ".vdi" file for the second disk, but I can not seem to get Solaris to "see" that the disk on the second controller is present. There should be some /dev/rdsk/c1xxx files for a second controller..but nothing appears. Tried runnings devfsadm but is does not see anything else either.
I assume its a glitch somewhere on my part.

Still researching prob...but one thing is interesting. If you let VM create a SATA controller first "by default", and then go from there, it does not seem to let you add another disk that the OS can see. If you create it "manually" with an IDE CDROM first, and then add the SATA controller, it sees the second disk from the OS just fine.

Help getting Solaris-X86 DNS working and set it up a server.

Just got solaris 8 02/02 working on a spare machine. I am new to
setting Solaris but determined to get to know it.
Couple of questions:
1. I have assigned the machine a IP address and host ID. I can ping
the machine OK. I can't get the DNS service to work however. I do not
have my own domain and the machine is behind a linksys router. I
tried using the pacbell.net as the domain dame but it can't find the
DNS server. I of course do have the DNS IP addresses. Any clues?
I followed http://www.execpc.com/~keithp/bdlogsol.htm#basics setup by
Keith Parkansky but still can't get it work.
Any clues?
2nd question I am cramped for space so I don't want to use a monitor
on the machine. I tried using telnet to connect to the machine
unsuccesfully. What I want to be able to do is set it up as a server
so that I can use both the console and CDE from my laptop on my HAN
(home area network:-). I already use exceed on the laptop to connect
to other UNIX host. Any Clues?
Otherwise I would say the Solaris Rocks, and I am looking forward to
playing around with it?

1) set it up as new and have it log into the windows domain (have to research how to do this)
Bind the Mac to the domain using Disk Utility
What would you do??
Login to each Mac with a domain account and have the Mac cache the credentials when logging so it creates a local home folder that's associate with a domain account. Enable home syncing on each Mac so your home folder is the exact same on each Mac.
