Solaris 10 x86 and Nortel VPN?

Is it possible to connect to Nortel VPN (using IPSEC implementation provided in Solaris 10) ?
Nortel doesn't provide client software for Unix/Linux
but is it possible to connect from solaris 10, using it's IPSEC facilities?
Nortel VPN authentication parameters include : group id, group password, user id and auth.code(password)

Did you ever have any luck with this?

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 :(

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.

How to configure CUPS in Solaris 10 X86 and SPARC

Dears,
I need help in configuring CUPS for Solaris 10 X86 as well as on SPARC.
What i did?
Downloaded the CUPS 1.5.0
read the readme.txt
read the INSTALL.txt
Pre-req installation requires :-
CFLAGS= -i /some/directory \
CPPFLAGS = -i /some/directory \
CXXFLAGS = -I /some/directory \
DSOFLAGS = -L /some/directgry \
LDFLAGS = -L /some/directory \
./configure --
It errors out with
checking for gawk ... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk ...nawk
chekcing for gcc ... no
checking for cc ... no
checking for cl.exe no
Configure error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
see 'config.log' for more details
I installed all the missing dependencies from www.sunfreeware.com and I have the same problem.
I also tried to install the software packages from the operating system dvd... like for
ls -lrt gcc
gcc "SUNWgcc", "SUNWgccS", "SUNWgccruntime"
ls -lrt cc
cc "SUNWgccruntime", "SUNWlccom", "SUNWcctpx", "SUNWccisgn" , "SUNWccinv", "SUNWccfwctrl", " SUNWccfw", "SUNWccccrr", "SUNWccccr", "SUNWccccfg", "SUNWislcc",
"SUNWaccu", "SUNWaccr", "IPLTccons", " SUWgccs", "SUNWgcc", "SUNWmccom", "SUNWmcc", "SUNWusbccids", "SUNWusbccid"
ls -lrt gawk
no results
ls -lrt mawk
no results
ls -lrt cl.exe
no results
Is there any way should i follow apart from the above?
Rgds,
Mky

Check pkginfo -l for each package.
export the PATH variable where the packages are installed, like /usr/local/bin and etc.

Solaris 9 x86 and AHA 19160

I tried unsuccessfully last night to load my system with Solaris 9 x86. After accepting a plain VGA setting for my 64MB GeForce AGP video card, I was stopped in my tracks by a divide by zero error when the installer was searching for target drives. Even though the previous hardware scans had picked up a SCSI controller, it appears that the default Adaptec driver does not work with a 19160 (Ultra 160) controller.
I was advised that Volume 2 has some boot diskette images which might hold the key. Does anyone know if an Adaptec 19160 controller is supported? Also, is there an Nvidia driver I can use to esacape VGA purgatory? I ran out of wall clock before I was able to explore volume 2.
Thanks

I have the same NIC (RTL 8029 chip), and.. the solution 4 you. :) I made this quick guide for me, so I can add netwotk support to my system, very easily. Happy to see that another person needs that info.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file from the link below, put it at /, and unzip it.
ftp://sun.drydog.com/pub/solaris/nei-i86pc-solaris5.7.zip
2. Run (from command line) the command:
add_drv /kernel/drv/nei; devlinks
3. Create the file /kernel/drv/nei.conf and write
name="nei" parent="isa" reg=1,0xe800,0x1f interrupts=5;
(this is the hardware address for my card, you should find your's).
4. Create the file /etc/hostname.nei0, whick will contain the line
192.168.0.1
(this is the IP addr. I use for my internal network, change that to any other reserved addr. you like, like 10.0.0.1)
5. If you use IPv6, create /etc/hostname6.nei0 ,too, with the same contents as hostname.nei0
192.168.0.1
6. Edit /etc/hosts and add the line:
192.168.0.1 myname.mydomain
7. Edit /etc/inet/hosts and make the file look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 myname.mydomain loghost
8. Edit /etc/inet/netmasks and put:
192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
9. Run from command line mode or from a terminal:
/usr/sbin/drvconfig -i nei
10. Run from command line mode or from a terminal:
touch /reconfigure; /usr/sbin/reboot
11. After rebooting, type "ifconfig nei0 plumb" to make sure the device was recognized.
It should show up in the output from typing "prtconf"
Normally, now you can use your RTL8029 card.
I hope I help a little bit mate. :)

Solaris 10 X86 and disabling the desktop start up?

I want to disable desktop start up and use command line interface? How do I can do this? My Solaris 10 x86 is installed on virtual PC and the desktop (or x) uses a lot of resources and I don�t need it.

the only thing that worked for me was:
svcadm disable svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login:default
I had been using CDE last. The suggestion to /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -d did not keep the graphical login from happening (that's suggested in the official online docs), and "dtlogin" is not recognized as a service by svcadm so that doesn't work either. Finally, very few services are started by /etc/*.d/ any more, of the remaining scripts in /etc/rc2.d S99dtlogin is not among them. So do the above with newer releases, mine is u3.
Incidentally, didn't "init -r" used to reveal the run level? Hmm... been a while since using Solaris but I still consider myself a Solaris person. So much is changing... hope it's finally faster and comes with a compiler. Really, it's that simple. Oh and getting over Linux to realize that Solaris is Solaris (in case that needs translation for Sun decision makers - that means Solaris is already better than Linux with the aforesaid improvements). Sorry, very off-topic but I won't post anything for another several years ;-)

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

Monitoring RAID with Solaris 10 x86 and Dell PowerEdge 2650 PERC 3/Di

Hello,
I have a PowerEdge 2650 with the PERC 3/Di RAID controller.
The OS installed is Solaris 10 8/07 U4.
Currently RAID is configured through the BIOS and it works fine, but I have no way to monitor the status of the drives.
Is there a command to show me the status of the drives? Drivers I need to install?
TIA,
Chris

I'm just now starting to delve into the X86 servers, and I am not a fan of hardware RAID in general, but on the SPARC side, you would use 'raidctl' to interact with hardware RAID environments.

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
Bill W

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

Solaris 10 x86 and Volume Manager fdisk identifiers

Hi,
I'm playing with Sun Volume Manager and have a question. I have installed two drives in addition to my system drive where Solaris 10 resides. I used format to add a Solaris fdisk partition of Solaris2 (0xbf). I'm aware that the old identifier used to be 0x82, same as Linux swap identifier. However, when I open up smc and go to Storage->Disks and select the two unused disks, smc complains and tells me that no Solaris Fdisk partitions exist. If I re-partition these drives with the old Solaris identifier (0x82), smc doesn't complain.
Is this a known issue with the Volume Manager gui? Because I am able to work with the disks just fine from the command line using the meta* commands no matter what identifier I use. Maybe I need a patch? Thanks for any pointers.

DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86

I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>

pci1022,1100
The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
192.168.1.1
I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
INTHOST
There is a hosts file, and it contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
192.168.1.3 INTHOST
There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
There is a nsswitch.conf file and other than the commented out lines, it contains:
passwd: files

Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
"route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
The only other command I've tried is:
"ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

Solaris 10 x86 (10/08) and an nVidia Quadro4

Hi all!
I have an nVidia Quadro4 AGP graphics card that originally came with the box that I installed Solaris 10 x86 and Xandros 4.5 OCE on. I didn't have DVI to VGA cables at the time so I went with an ATI 32MB Radeon 7000.
I know have the needed cables and would like to use this card. One question, nVidia lists their drivers for the x64/x86 Solaris 10. I have a P4 2GHz box-would this driver work? I am not above doing a reinstall as I can recreate everything I need on the box. Any pointers in this area would be most helpful.
Regards,
James

It should. You probably won't need to download anything from nVidia either, what's included in Solaris 10 x86 10/08 will probably suffice for most uses.
