Solaris 10 x86 setting wrong netmask at startup

Hello
one of our servers when it reboots set wrong netmask in the network interfaces;
the network interfaces should have 255.255.255.240 as netmask but upon reboot they have 255.255.255.0.
the /etc/netmask entries as
subnet netmask
let's say that my ip of one of the interfaces is 192.168.10.170
in the netmask file i have
192.168.10.160 255.255.255.240
is there a problem that i set the subnet and not the network in the netmask file? can i create an /etc/subnetmask?
is there a tool with dtrace that can determine why i cannot have the correct netmask at boot time.
thank you in advance
Mario G.

Ach! I see that my first post had formatting problems. Never mind.
What I wanted you to try is:
ifconfig <interface> netmask + broadcast +rather thanifconfig <interface> netmask 255.255.255.240I think the plus characters were interpreted as formatting. Sorry for the confusing post.

Can I set two router IP on my solaris x86 server?

Hi ,
I want to make traffic balance on my office. Because we have two leased line.
I would build up NAT in the solaris x86.
Can I set two router ip in the solaris x86 server? And How to do it?
The traffic balance is work or not?
If that is not work, what can I do?
Thanks All ^_^
Andrew Choi

Yes, you can use solaris x86 as a NAT box.
add another ethernet interface, and install
IP-filter, or sunscreen
I suggest you search the solaris newsgroups on

Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris x86 using vmware

Guys,
I am practising 10g RAC installation on my laptop, wherein I have vmware workstation and

Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

Hello,
Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking
4. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/c_backup
5. $ sqlplus sys/<password> as sysdba
6. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 50G scope=both;
7. SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='${ ORACLE_BASE}/flash_recovery_ area' scope=both;
8. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_10='location= use_db_recovery_file_dest';
9. SQL> shutdown immediate
10. SQL> startup nomount
11. SQL> alter database archivelog;
12. SQL> alter database open;
13. SQL> alter database enable block change tracking using file '${ORACLE_BASE}/tracking/rman_ change_track.f';
14. $ rman target /
15. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK
TO '/var/opt/oracle/flash_ recovery_area/ORCL/c_backup/% F';
16. RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
17. RMAN> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
18. RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
19. RMAN> exit
I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
I have following questions:
1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
=============================================================================================
2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
=============================================================================================
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ORACLE_SID=orcl
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
if [[ $# < 1 ]]
then
echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
exit;
fi
BACKUPTYPE=${1}
full='FULL'
incremental='INCREMENTAL'
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi
if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
then
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup database;
backup incremental level 1 database;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
echo ''
fi

Hi [email protected],
Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
A3) No see A2.

Tycho

How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

Hello people,
I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
/opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
Thanks

my problem is that i could not install the SMC agent on Red Hat Linux. as i could not find an easy document or steps to do so.
could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well.

Hi
From the Unix prompt enter oemapp console(for v9.x). If you are using earlier versions it is oemapp console (for starting the console) and oemapp dbastudio(for starting dba studio)
For starting OMS enter: oemctrl start oms.
Hope this helps

Question about wide-screen monitor on Solaris x86

I have Solaris x86, version 10/2009 installed.
It works fine with any wide-screen monitor I plug in.
But when I use this 3rd party CAD/CAM software, any round
circle is being displayed as an oval shape. I believe that's because
on the wide-screen monitor, the width of the monitor is longer than the height.
Does anyone know if there's a setting to change so that I can view circles as true round circles instead of an oval shape? Thanks.

OK, I know what the problem is now.
But I need to change the resolution settings. Does anyone know how to change it on x86, version 10/2009?
I recall it being something like "kdmconfig"

DB migration from RHEL 5 to Solaris x86(64bit)

DB version : 11.1.0.7
Platform : RHEL 5 (64bit)
We would like to move our non-ASM 11.1 DB which is currently in Linux (RHEL 5) to Solaris 10 x86 (64bit).
Both RHEL 5 (64bit) and Solaris x86 (64bit) are of LITTLE ENDIAN format.
1. I gather that I have to use RMAN's CONVERT DATABASE for this. Any Metalink note or URLs relevant to this migration ?
2. Would the migration be easier if my DB was in 11.2 ? I could upgrade my DB to 11.2 if there are any advangtages from migration point of view?

You can use transportable tablespace option to move database accross platforms.
First, you must check tablespace dependecies.
Check whether your tablespace can transfer or not?
SQL> exec dbms_tts.transport_set_check('TEST_TS',TRUE);
SQL> select * from transport_set_violations;
set status of tablespace which you want to move to Read-only.
SQL>alter tablespace test_ts read only;
Convert datafiles of tablespace
RMAN> convert tablespace test_ts to platform 'HP-UX (64-bit)' format='/tmp/test01.dbf';
Export tablespace metadata using data pump export
expdp talip/talip directory=dump_dir dumpfile=test_ts.dmp transport_tablespaces=test_ts
copy datafile of tablespace to another db.
Import metadata to another db.
impdp talip/talip directory=dump_dir dumpfile=test_ts.dmp transport_datafiles=/data1/testts01.dbf

Ndd in Solaris x86

Hi I need to know How can I see parametes list of networks interfaces in Solaris x86, I can't use the utility ndd for the network interface, I am working in a V65x and the NIC is e1000g.
Thanks

kstat e1000g:0 might work, but I'm not 100% if kstat
statistics are supported by the e1000g driver. And if they are available,
I'm not sure if they are accurate.
kstat should list the interface speed, and the duplex setting.

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?
