How does it works ?
Where can I find documentation ?
Sun is announcing this new feature with all its big Solaris 10 marketing but I can't find anything technical about it .
Do you have an idea ?

Where is the feature ? Missing.
How does it works ?It's not available in S10 GA.
Where can I find documentation ?Since it's not yet integrated into S10, there's no documentation.

Retain SAMBA permissions while migrating from linux to solaris 10 x86

Hello,
We are migrating a system from Redhat to Solaris 10 x86 and this has brought up a question on how we can restore our SAMBA files and retain our permissions that are associated by the users name rather then their numeric ID(UID/GID). So far my research hasnt produced anything that gives a solid answer to how we do this and is it even possible.
The problem is that Windows user and group accounts are mapped locally per host by default. That mapping is defined as the accounts are referenced, so unless there is a way to guarantee the order of accounts being referenced, the mappings from Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs will be different between old and new.
If the data restoration option we choose for the new server is naive and restores only by UID and GID, the permissions in the ACLs will not map to the correct Windows accounts. We either must find a restoration option which restores permissions by name rather than ID or we must create a script which can automate pushing the ACLs into the restored filesystem correctly by name.
Initially I thought ufsdump could handle this but we are on ext3 filesystem going to vxfs. I have read a little on star but havent heard about it before. Has anyone used star for backup/restore for the purpose of retaining ACL ownership/permissions? It seems like its an old utility, maybe not used much anymore. Does anyone have a utility they have used for this purpose?
Your help is much appreciated!!

The problem is that Windows user and group accounts are mapped locally per host by default. That mapping is defined as the accounts are referenced, so unless there is a way to guarantee the order of accounts being referenced, the mappings from Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs will be different between old and new.Is there anyway that you can sanitize and post a small snippet of what's going on with the mapping files? I think I can follow this but I'm a bit confused by the username/UID thing since usually if a username is defined in /etc/passwd than the files will display the username. If a username is not defined in /etc/passwd then the ls command will revert to just showing the numbers which I take it is what you don't want to happen.
If you could also sanitize and post even one of the acl's that might help clear up that portion of the problem as well.

Solaris 10 - x86 - migrating from Linux - question?

Hi,
We have a C++ application that uses libpcap to read packets as they arrive on the interface. We are trying to set up a more secure environment on Solaris 10 x86 by having this application run inside of a Solaris Container. The application runs properly when run on the machine outside of the container. However, when we try to start the application when inside the container, the call to pcap_open_live fails with the error "'/dev/iprb0:1: No such file or directory'".
Is there a way in which we can set up the Solaris Container so that it can have access to the interfaces (devices) in /dev?

No. Packet capturing is not working in non-global zones.
You can not manipulate network interfaces in a non global zones at all. You can add some types of devices to the non global zones, but no network adapters.
All ip filtering, packet capturing business can only be done in the global zone.
regards,
Imre

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 :(

Alt Graph dead on swedish Solaris 10 x86, jdk 1.5.x

Hello!
I posted this on the Solaris JRE forum first but there is not much activity there. Perhaps anyone that reads this forum can assist me.
I'm having a peculiar problem and I'm at loss as of how to fix it.
I have a fresh Solaris 10 x86 installed on an HP nx9420 laptop and it is localized to sv_SE.UTF8. All native X clients work perfectly, accepting keyboard input as expected.
But java clients do not. My swedish keyboard layout is respected and all the 'normal' characters are properly read when typed. But the Alt Graph key seems to be ignored.
Example: To type the character '[' on a swedish keyboard I need to press AltGraph-8.This works in xterm, mozilla and other clients but when done in a java client (smc, javaws or netbeans to name a few) I only get the character '8'. It is as if the JRE doesn't even care if I press Alt Graph or not. The JRE installed is 1.5_06. I've tested other minor versions under 1.5 without improvement.
Please advise me how to solve this. I have not experienced this problem before when running various Linux distributions as well as different Windows versions. I'm very happy that I finally got Solaris to work on my laptop and it would be a bit harsh to have it go down the drain because of this.
Note: The problem is solved in 1.6 beta 2. Unfortunately I need to get 1.5 working. :(

Thanks Mike. Problem solved.
Now I run into another error which I think I had in a past installation I have done on a suse machine:
SAPCAR is unable to extract SAP kernel executables from the installationmaster directory even though permissions are right:
MUT-03011 Execution of the command "/tmp/sapinst_exe.25861.1160659612/SAPCAR -x -v -g -i -f /UCKernel/DBINDEP/SAPEXE.SAR, instance.lst" finished with return code 29. Output:
SAPCAR: no archives specified for extracting (error 29). No such file or directory
I have tried calling SAPCAR from the command line and the SAPEXE.SAR is upacked fine.
Tried to shorten the absolute path and the error is the same.

Solaris 10/X86 install appears to have destroyed my display.

Hello folks -
I'm new here, I searched and did not find anything that matched so I'm posting. If I'm asking about something previously covered, please be patient, I'll learn.
I am running an Asus A7N8 Deluxe motherboard with an Athlon 2800+, standard ATA/133 drives and an Nvidia 6800 AGP supplied by PNY. My display is a Viewsonic VA2012wb, which I've since learned is only available at a well-known warehouse membership store.
I've been using this setup under XP for some months now, and yesterday I decided to try and install Sol10/X86 again now that some new drivers are available that support my onboard LAN. Nothing untoward happened during the install (I'm very familiar with the process on Sparc hardware), and I was asked to reboot so I could start installing CD2.
Suddenly, no display on boot. Troubleshooting ensued, and I found that I was able to get the monitor to display if I connected the VGA cable instead of the DVI interface I've successfully used all this time.
Subsequent troubleshooting included:
1. Changing out the 6800 with a 6200 I had on hand.
2. Booting to XP to see if the Nvidia Twinview stuff had become confused - The Nvidia software behaved as if there was nothing available on the DVI input, so many menus did not even appear.
3. Checking with Viewsonic to make sure that I was clear on how the monitor selects inputs. It's largely automatic, but hitting the '2' key on the front panel forces a rescan of the analog and digital inputs.
4. Substituting another display on this workstation, with all cables unchanged, so I could verify that the DVI output on my video card still worked. Tested fine.
5. Moving the affected display to another workstation, to see if it was capable of functioning on the DVI input from a different machine. It was not, test failed.
6. Unplugging everything and letting it sit for over an hour (while I fumed) - test failed.
7. Returned the affected display to Costco today, for a spanky new one. It worked great on DVI with existing hardware (and under XP) this afternoon, so I decided to re-start my Solaris install.
Lather, rinse, repeat, or so I was about to find out....
After I was asked to reboot from CD1, my display died again.
Just like yesterday, it's currently working fine on the VGA input/dead to the world on DVI, and just like yesterday, everything was fine until the first reboot after the Solaris CD1. I repeated the most pertinent aspects of my prior diagnostic steps, and then I went out to the back porch to curse and throw tools until I felt better.
I cannot find a hardware reset button for the display, and an old friend of mine reports that he had a similar issue under Solaris 8/X86 in which he ended up blowing up a CRT. The Sol8 installer was overdriving the monitor.
That said, I don't think that the DVI interface is able to 'overdrive' a monitor, and that confuses me more deeply. I know that if I (re)abuse the return policy of this warehouse store once more tomorrow and get a new display it will fix the problem, but I'm hoping that I can fix this in house!
I refuse to believe that Solaris is actually frying the DVI input on my display, but I do have clear evidence that it the installer is a destructive force, at least with Nvidia cards and a VA2012wb. I'm seeing some similar threads on the Linux forums, some mentioning the part number of my display in specific, but no clear resolutions yet.
Any thoughts?

OK, well... I did a restart, invoking the 'option' command, and the Lion Recovery partition did not show up, so I went ahead and booted back into SL, wherein I was given a 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' with a choice of ejecting, ignoring, or initializing. I chose Ignore, and the drive now just shows up in disk utility as 'media' with no opportunity to interact with it.
I had the presence of mind to make a Lion DVD before I installed, so I booted with that, and it too was unable to interact with the drive.
Given the degraded state of this drive, I have no reason to suspect that entering target disk mode and mounting to my MBP would bear any fruit... looks like this sucker is beyond hope. Yay...
I will not be re-installing Lion until at least .2 comes out at this point.. I can't afford a wasted day like this again.

Solaris 10 x86 Won't Startup After Install - system just restarts itself?

Ok, I'm another one of those wacky Vista people. I have a Dell Latitude D630 running a dual boot scenario with Vista Ultimate and Solaris 10.
I had plenty of issues getting that working but it does work. Vista WILL boot. Solaris won't boot. Solaris failsafe will boot.
Now the issue is....
Solaris will not boot. When I select it from the GRUB menu, I see some text that flashes really quickly before the system restarts. It's the same text that I see when I boot failsafe mode.
Something to the effect of Sun Solaris.... blah blah....Subject To License Terms and Conditions....
So it's as if it's trying to boot Solaris, but for some reason it just restarts the system. The only thing that works is failsafe mode and Vista.
How can I troubleshoot this issue when I can only get in failsafe?
Please note I'm an IT professional (so I'm quite capable) but I have ZERO Solaris experience and limited (very limited) Linux experience so break it down for me if you will.
Thank you in advance!
SPECIFIC DETAILS:
*1. Solaris 10 x86 Platform*
*2. Windows Vista Ultimate*
*3. Dell Latitude D630 Notebook, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM*
*4. (1) HDD with a Vista and Solaris partition*
*5. I have tried installing Solaris 10 (3) times to resolve. To no avail.*

Solaris 8 x86: Problems with VNC

I have installed Solaris 8 x86 on my "slave PC" and now I want to access it remotely from my "master PC". The networking runs well so far. Ping, telnet, and internet access are all possible.
Now I have installed the tightVNC 1.2.9 package on the Solaris 8 system. When I start the vncserver, the following error message appears:
"Couldn't start Xvnc; trying default font path.
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script."
When I try to connect with the vncviewer from my master PC, the screen is started but remains all grey.
In the vncserver script, the originally set fontPath did not work. I replaced it by some paths which are obviously recognized but with the same result.
Any help is appreciated very much.
Thank you in advance!
Thomas

I commented all the set fontPath commands in the vncserver script, and now it works properly as desired. Indeed, it seems like no adjustments for font paths are needed.
The blocking point was, that in the script ~/.vnc/xstartup, the command line "startkde" has to be inserted instead of "kde" which is used in Linux systems for that case.
Thank you!
Thomas

J2EE SDK on Solaris 8 x86

Does anyone know if there is a way to install J2EE on Solaris 8 x86? Sun seems to make it available for Windows, Linux, and Solarix SPARC, but not for their own Intel platform.

I've taken a quick look - seems the installer (shell script) on Sparc unpacks a whole hierarchy of mostly pure Java which you can just push across to an Intel box - for some reason there is a native interface (doing logging via serial console?) which requires a binary libioser12.so. I guess this is one of the few things that would need to be built (perhaps even as a non-functional stub) toget things running. Seems JINI uses the same libioser12.so also.

Printer setup on Solaris 8 x86

I have a Solaris 8 x86 box and try to attach a Brother HL-760 printer to LPT1. The printer is HP5 compatible, supports PCL5, but no Postscript. I tried to attach it with HP printer driver, it was a successful experience. However, I can only print text files. If I want to print a web page from my browser, it gave my garbage. Can someone help me out? Must the printer have Postscript?
Thanks.

hi
might be you r making some mistake for that printer try is again it should be working for htlp file cause it only text and pic i thnk i will work you r making some mistake

8-way SMP with Solaris 8 x86

We're pondering the purchase of two 8CPU Intel boxes to run Oracle Parallel server. Since Oracle Parallel Server has not been ported to Linux, we'll need to run Solaris x86.
Now, my question: Does Solaris 8 x86 support 8 CPUs? I called Sun and was told no and e-mailed them and was told yes. So, I got two different answers. Can anyone point me to a definative answer?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike, Oracle Parallel server is not supported on Intel Solaris. ;-) check with Oracle (this should be true for 8.1.6 and maybe also 8.1.5). I do not believe you want to turn to Oracle7 in these modern days...

Solaris 10 x86 Version

So, when is Adobe going to get their heads out of their collective ***** and release FM for Unix again (Solaris and Mac)? I grew up with FM under Unix (way back to version 2). The Solaris sparc 5.5 version is way out-of-date.
There are several of us here at work that would rather use the Solaris x86 version, as our primary computer is Solaris 10 x86.
As pointed out by others in other discussions, Adobe has mishandled FrameMaker after purchasing it.
IMHO, Adobe has managed to screw up not only FM, but other core products.

I have a pc with cdrom and a netra T1 without cdrom.
Wondering if I can use solaris x86 pc to jumpstart
netra T1(sparc). I heard linux can jumpstart solaris
sparc.You can. The only problem is that it is difficult to read the information from the SPARC CD set (due to the differences in x86 and SPARC UFS filesystems).
If you have the SPARC DVD (or even just the DVD .iso), then it's easier. The same information is replicated so that it is easier to copy onto x86.
Since you only have CD drives, I'd recommend copying the DVD image to the machine, then using lofiadm to mount it up.
Once mounted, it's the same thing as on SPARC, just run the setup_install_server and add_install_client stuff.

Solaris 10 x86 64-bit wireless connection problem

I installed Solaris 10 x86 32-bit on my laptop together with Fedora 10 (Linux) and Windows XP.
When I boot up Fedora 10 and WinXP, these two OS are able to find the wireless driver automatically, but Solaris 10 failed.
When I do prtconf -pv, I saw my wireless card is listed in the output.
So I update the /boot/solaris/devicedb/master and /etc/driver_aliases with my wireless card id - pci168c,001a
Then do sys-unconfig and reboot
But after reboot, Solaris still only tries to configure the ethernet card (NIC) rather than checking out the wireless connection.
I think this might be a design flaw for Solaris 10. If it runs on x86, most users would have wireless connection, not just land line connection.
Does anyone here have a solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot!

I assume that when solaris 10 boots up, it only checks the land line NIC card, not the wireless card. If there is no lan connection, then so be it.
Is that right?No! :-)
nwam only supports one device but the device is selectable. physical should activate all devices regardless. So if your Wifi isn't working then I would use wificonfig to see what it can see. Check the man page for scan and showstatus options. Then you'll know what it's seeing.

Solaris 10 x86 on oracle VM

dear,
does anyone know if oracle VM support solaris 10 x86
Thanks in advance!

So far, Solaris guests is not supported on Oracle VM. But someone did run Solaria as guest on Dom0 successfully.

Intel network interface with Solaris 10 x86

Hi,
I have been Googling all evening to try and find a solution to this, but here is the problem:
I have a PC built around an Asus P4C800-E system board, and I have Solaris 10 x86 01/2006 installed. I would like to get the Ethernet interface (Intel adaptor, running on a CSA bus) up and running - but for some reason I can't seem to get the driver to bind to the proper address (pci8086,1019 - from what I have been able to find out): It instead insists on binding to pci1043,80f7. Even though pci8086,1019 is listed in /etc/device_aliases, it won't play nice.
I know the NIC is working, and have tried it under other OSes (including Linux).
Although Solaris x86 "sees" something there, and the interface is plumbed (it can even tell when the network link is up or down), I can't get the interface to work - pings do not work, etc.
Is there a way I can convince the driver to bind to pci8086,1019 instead of pci1043,80f7?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Joovilhar.

Is 1043,80f7 the device's pci subsystem vendor and subsystem device id?
And 8086,1019 is the normal vendor/device id?
In this case everything would work as expected.
What is listed by "/usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v" for the ethernet controller?

Try to boot the kernel with various settings of the "acpi-user-options" variable,
to disable / enable ACPI. In previous Solaris x86 releases, when
something went wrong configuring an interrupt vector for a nic device,
the typical end result is a nic that is unable to receive incomming
packets. Maybe your Asus P4C800-E is still problematic with ACPI, with
S10 x86 1/2006, and needs the acpi-user-options workaround.
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/danasblog?anchor=configurin g_solaris_acpi_at_boot
To change the "acpi-user-options" variable, edit the grub boot command
line and edit the "multiboot" line, e.g. append "-Bacpi-user-options=0x2".
