Solaris 10 x86 -Scsi Adaptec 29320ALP Card issue

Hi
I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 edition . I am facing an issue with the scsi card adaptec 29320. Not detecting the disk at the time of installation. I checked the card in HCL. It is available. Any way to install.

I'm not sure what the root cause for the firewire driver hang is.
Maybe an issue with interrupt routing. You may want to experiment
with BIOS ACPI / IOAPIC / PnP OS settings, and/or the
acpi-user-options property.
Anyway, to get rid of the firewire driver, you can probably add an
"exclude: hci1394" line to /etc/system and reboot.

  • Solaris SPARC 10 LTO3 XPCIE2SCSIU320 card issue

    Hello,
    I have installed a new SG-XPCIE2SCSIU320Z (375-3357-03 Rev 50) + mpt firmware 1.3.30.21 on M5000 (Firmware 1071). It's running Solaris 10 u6 with Jan 2010 EIS patches. I am getting *"Connected command timeout for target 3" and "Target 3 reducing sync transfer rate"*
    I can see the device files in /dev/rmt/0* but while booting the above message appear! My cable length is 4 meters. HBA is installed in IOU0 slot1.
    Please let me know is there any work around?

    Hi, I'm having the same issue with a SUN T5120, SG-XPCIE2SCSIU320Z, 5m cable, and a SUN LTO3 external tape drive. I am able to backup to the tape drive, but the same errors are reported when trying to read from the tape, and the read fails.
    Have you been able to determine the cause?

  • Solaris x86 with card on-board

    Hi all,
    I got a problem when installing Solaris9 x86 on ibm NetVista Machine.
    I have installed 2 other machines with separated network card sucessfully. I can configure to connecto to my LAN network.
    But when install on 2 ibm NetVista machines (which include onboard network card ), It is fail to be configured to connect to the network in both following cases:
    Case 1: I choose proper driver as Sun suggest for Intel VE Pro(R) 10/100 : iprb. And the Solaris detect successfully. I checked by "ifconfig -a" and saw the network card active on "iprb0".
    Next, I following correct instructions to configure the network card to connect to the LAN. But when i ping IP (9.187.186.18) to other computer in our same subnet LAN,
    The system display eg: "No anwer from 9.187.186.18"
    I run the "snoop" command to view broadcasr ARP in an other terminal. The snoop terminal displays ARP signal boradcasting from the Solaris. However, it can nerver get ARPs from other computer in LAN.
    Case 2: I add 3COM network driver to the solaris ( onboard card is no loger used ). The system can auto-detected this card and i can configure to connect to the network. The problem remain unchange.
    Is there any special in IBM Netvista machine need to be configure under Solaris x86 or any particular configuarion for on-board network card. ???
    Can any boy help me to solve this problem ??
    Best regards,

    However, it can nerver get ARPs from other computer in LAN.Are you perhaps running "snoop" on a box different from the one that you're trying to ping, and are you using
    a switched ethernet? In that case it would be OK if you only see the ARP broadcast, because the ping target
    box will send the ARP reply directly to the MAC of the requesting station (i.e. there's no ARP broadcast reply),
    and an ethernet switch will send the ARP reply directly to the port where the station with the given destination
    MAC is connected - no other port should see the reply.
    If you're trying to ping 9.187.186.18 from the new Solaris x86 box, try to run snoop on the 9.187.186.18
    system. 9.187.186.18 should see the ARP broadcast from the LAN, and the 9.187.186.18 box should list the
    ARP response it sends back to the LAN.
    Is there any special in IBM Netvista machine need to be configure under Solaris x86 or any particular
    configuarion for on-board network card. ???I guess the interrupt handler for the NIC is not working, so the Solaris x86 sees no incomming packets.

  • Solaris9 x86 problem with network cards, ACPI, IRQs

    Hello!
    For the last two days I've been trying to solve the problem of Solaris9 x86 not being able to use my network card. I have tried with 3c905CX-TX-M, RealTek 8139 and Realtek 8029 and none of them works. The problem is the following:
    Everything is properly configured, networking etc., but the cards can only send and cannot receive packets. When trying to ping, the packets leave the NIC but none of the reponses are detected by NIC. When I check with 'kstat elxl' I can see that 'intr' is zero, and out_packets is increasing as it's sending packets.
    From the discussion forum I can see that this same problem has been known for several years. One of the conclusions is that Solaris x86 sucks at dealing with IRQ setup and that the best thing is to disable ACPI and 'PnP OS' option in BIOS. However, I've tried all releases of AMI bios and none them has neither of those options. I have played with various priority levels in BIOS but all that has accomplished is that the card, when first started, captures a few interrupts/packets but then stops again. This is usually just enough to finish the ARP exchange (arp -a shows the remote host).
    And of course, all the cards work just fine in WindowsXP and Linux. And all the cards work nice in another PC which runs the same Solaris 9 x86.
    My motherboard is Gigabyte 7VTXE. (The other one in which it works is ASUS P2B-DS).
    I would really appreciate help!

    I had almost identical problem today on an HP Kayak - which happened to be dual CPU one. The fix
    set pcplusmp:apic_forceload = -1
    in /etc/system worked for me. The only drawback is that it also leaves the machine single CPU. AFAIK this (downloadable) S9x86 kit is licensed only for one CPU anyway, so I wonder if something has been fixed in the code to make sure it is not run on multi-CPU systems. Before the fix, mpstat showed thousands of interrupts on CPU0, both CPUs were constantly busy at about 70% and there was no network connection on a number of cards I tried (3Com 90x - elxl, Intel iprb, another one with Realtek 8139 was never recognized, so I did not bother too much to find if there is a fix for this); pinging out resulted in the hub port light blinking, nothing comes back.
    Anyway, the fix is good enough to test s9 for now; everything else seemed to be OK. If it may be of some use for somebody, don't go into the disk option of the Solaris Management Console; the machine in question had Windows 2003 server (RC2) installed before Solaris9, the disk tool decided that there was no label on the disk and asked to write it on; I clicked the 'cancel' button, but the partition table was irreversibly damaged, so I had to start from installing W2k3. My guess is that tool has been tested only with Sparc, so there is no issue with BIOS level partitioning there. BTW, system info of the SMC insists that the CPUs are Sparcs...

  • Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

    Greetings, all.
    Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine.

    I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

    After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
    not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
    There are two ways to do this:
    Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
    Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

  • 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 x86 8 bootdisk

    For some reason my computer fails to boot from scsi cdrom, is there a
    bootdisk for Solaris x86? I have a Tekram DC-390F SCSI adapter and
    Pioneer DR-U24X CDROM-drive.

    Tekram offer a driver for download - this presupposes you have a system already installed and running Solaris so that you can actually install the Tekram driver.
    What Tekram have failed to implement and deliver is the "ITU" version of the driver - Install Time Update is Sun's mechanism \for allowing installation of drivers for devices which need to be bootable duringthe installation of the system - you'll see something like "F4 - use ITU floppy" along the bottom of the install screen.
    Options are: complain to Tekram and ask if they've heard of ITU
    or
    install with IDE CD then add SCSI support after

  • 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.

  • Solaris x86 on HP pavilion laptop

    I am trying to install solaris x86 version on my pavilion zt1000. The solaris install cd boots and then crashes with the following "boot panic: trap type 0 error 0 at 13bd7f" and bunch of register information.
    I have tried 3 different CDs and even tried creating a bootable floppy disk. The floppy disk booting just hangs at the solaris boot manager screen.
    Any ideas ???
    To start with can solaris be installed on a HP pavilion
    Thanks for any info anybody can provide.
    Sriram

    I do remember that everyone who installed on a laptop had to use an external keyboard during the installation. While I dont have any info specific to the HP, search the forum for past laptop posts - someone has probably had a similar issue and take a look at these pages.

  • 10.1.3.3 release on Solaris x86

    Hi guy's,
    Anyone know when the 6148874 patchset (10.1.3.3) will be available for Solaris (x86)?
    Thanks.

    Not sure if you already figured this out, my reply isn't exactly timely.
    Had the same issue with Windows XP, we resolved by turning off cell animations for Excel. Can do by adding HKCU - Software - Microsoft - Office - Version # - Excel - Options, add DWORD Options95=1
    This fixed the slow scrolling issue for us, as well as an issue where sessions would get disconnected back to the VDI log in screen when trying to scroll around or delete big chunks of rows

  • 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 .

  • Support for JRockit for WebLogic 10.3 in Solaris x86

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install JRockit Mission Control 3.1.2 in a Solaris 10 x86 platform.
    For Solaris Spark I know there is a special distribution.. For Solaris 10 x86 I am trying to install the generic linux version.
    When I try to install the jrmc-3.1.2-1.6.0-linux-ia32.bin I get the following error:
    jrmc-3.1.2-1.6.0: Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2
    I also try with 64bit edition of the jrockit mission Control but I get a similar error but trying to find the /lib64/ld-linux.so.2.
    Is Solaris 10 x86 supported? Or at least, is there a workaround to install it?
    I find some site talking about JRockit for Solaris Spark, but seems to me that Solaris x86 is not supported...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The DTD used in "web.xml" should not cause any issue ...though it's the OLD "web.xml"...Please try to run the Following command to Generate the New Deployment Descriptors from the Existing Application:
    Step1). Open a Command Window and Run "setWLSEnv.sh" or "setWLSEnv.cmd".
    Step2). In the Command Prompt move to the Current Directory where you have placed your Application and then Run the Following Command
    java weblogic.DDConverter  -d NewDDs  jamagent.war
    Here Above Command Will read the "jamagent.war" War archive and then It will generate the New DDs in "NewDDs" directory...Which we need to replace with the OLD DDs present in our WebApplication..

  • Dell Hardware on Linux or Solaris x86

    Hi,
    My company is considering moving to dell hardware in a move to drive TCO down. We currently run Sun sparc (240, 490,890) servers and they are nearing end of life. Doing the research, even visited some vendors and from what we've seen, running either RH 5 or even Solaris (x86) on Dell could prove to be a good move. We're running mostly 10.2 databases with a couple of 9.2 that we hope to have upgraded by year end.
    Has anyone made a similar move and what is your experience? I worked on Dell about 4 years ago and back then we felt there were reliability issues. They crashed a little too often for my liking. I realize some of it was do to OS panics and not just hardware but that is part of the package.
    Any feedbackup would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're going to go Dell, you might aswell go the whole way and run RedHat.
    Aside from the support issues mentioned (I'm not familiar with that aspect) Solaris has a history of being much more expensive to run (largely due to the cost of the employees that know it) with the major advantage being: better integration with Sun hardware.
    As for Dell reliability, there's a reason we're an HP shop..

  • Telnet from Windows PC is very slow to Solaris x86, after Net linked

    (Sorry about the re-post. I posted in the wrong group earlier)
    I got the following info from this forum, in regards to configuring my Solaris x86 to link to the Net:
    # echo 192.168.0.1 > /etc/defaultrouter
    # route add default 192.168.0.1
    # echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 >> /etc/resolv.conf
    # cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
    So I did the above steps, reboot the Solaris, and my Solaris system can link to the Net fine afterwards. But ever since it had Net access, another problem is created.
    Whenever I telnet using a command line from a Windows XP computer, it takes a long time to telnet to this Solaris system. Before, I would see the Solaris login prompt for telnet in a few seconds. Now, it's about 1 minute. Plus, if I try to use an xterminal software from that PC to link to the Solaris x86, it hangs.
    So after I undo all the 4 commands above, reboot the Solaris computer, all these problems disappear. I can telnet from my Windows PC to this Solaris system very quickly. However, I no longer have Internet access from my Solaris.
    Anyone knows how I can fix this problem? Thanks.

    It sounds like a name resolution issue. Can you post the contents of your /etc/nsswitch.conf file for us?
