Solaris 10 (x86 version) as a jumstart server

Hi,
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.
thanks

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 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 The Solaris sparc 5.5 version is way out-of-date.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.

Solaris 8 x86 on an IBM PC Server 320

I have an IBM PC Server 320 that I have spent days trying to install Solaris 8 04/01 on. I keep getting pboot: cdrom error 01 and Random reboots during the installation using the install CD or Software CD 1. I reviewed the Solaris HCL list and all the components installed meet the requirements.
Here is my configuration info:

Solaris Management Console (SMC) - Solaris 9 x86

I�ve just installed Solaris 9 (x86) version. I�m unable to install Solaris Management console.
I was using below command to add listed patches:
pkgadd -d . SUNWpmgr SUNWrmui SUNWlvmr SUNWlvma SUNWlvmg
I�m unable to find these packages on cd1. Somehow they�re on cd2. These cd�s are direct extract from Sun�s web site.
Anyway when I run the pkgadd command I�m getting the following error:
�No package associated with (SUNWpmgr)�
When I look into the SUNWpmgr, there are 2 files (pkgmap., pkginfo.) and 3 dir (install, archive, reloc)
Same with other packages
Please help me.

I was able to correct this problem on my server
The .server file is the smc java keystore that contains
the private/public key pair for SSL
You can create this file by executing
cd /usr/sadm/lib/smc/bin
certtool -genkey
Once the keys are generated execute
/etc/init.d/init.wbem stop
/etc/init.d/init.wbem start
if your smpatch no longer works
take a look at the following article

Solaris 10 x86 stable on Intel Xeon Woodcrest CPUs?

We are looking at deploying Solaris 10 x86 for a new mail server project (using ZFS as the FS). In the past, we've purchased mostly Dell PowerEdge servers, and this will be our first foray into Solaris. I'm looking at using a HP Server for this project, and would like to use one of the new models that has the Intel Xeon 51xx "Woodcrest" family of CPUs. I see that there is a kernel patch available that enhances the stability of Solaris under this platform, and wanted to hear experiences from others as to the stability of Solaris 10 x86 with the Woodcrest Xeon's.
TIA.

FYI, I was able to install a copy of Solaris 10 x86 8/07 on my GX150.
I guess there is some changes in the Kernel between releases that have caused the incompatibility.

Installing fonts in Solaris 10 x86 10/08

Hello,
I request your help in solving an issue which I am facing.
I installed Solaris 10 x86 version on my PC. Installation went on well.
I opened a gnome-terminal to enter commands and issued few commands. However, the font did not match my taste. Hence, I downloaded my favourite font (.ttf format) and installed it.
The installation steps were: Creation of .fonts directory in my $HOME. Copying the font (i.e. the luximr.ttf file) into that directory. Created the fonts.dir file. Issued the command xset fp+ ~/.fonts; and finally xset fp rehash command. Then I issued the command 'xlsfonts' to verify whether the font I installed was really recognised by the system. The output of the xlsfonts command showed the font which I had installed.
Now, in the gnome-terminal's Edit -> profiles->Default->Edit section, I unselected the "Use system default font" and clicked on the button for selecting the font. But, in the menu of the fonts, I was not able to see the font which I had installed and so I was not able to select it. I tried logging-out and relogging-in, but still did not work. I tried rebooting the machine and then logging in. Even then, the list did not show the font which I had installed.
How do I get the font to be displayed in the list for font selection? Am I missing any important step?
Kindly suggest.
With regards,
Sreeram

Hello Lubos Kocman,
Thanks for your reply. I followed your suggestion and put the .ttf fonts in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType directory and rebooted the system.
[Actually, you had mentioned to put them in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF directory. But I did not find the TTF directory. Instead I found TrueType directory and so I felt it appropriate to place them here.]
But still I am unable to access and choose those fonts from my gnome-terminal's font list. Have I missed something? The same result was obtained when I placed the fonts in the ~/.fonts directory also. Please guide me if I am doing something wrong.
How do we ensure that the system has recognised the fonts which have been installed newly? Any commands to confirm this? Are there any log files pertaining to fonts, where we can know whether the fonts were recognised by the system, and if not recognised, the reason for the same?
Also, I would like to paste the contents of /etc/release of my system:
Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use is subject to license terms.
Assembled 27 October 2008
Should I install any patches to this version of Solaris 10 to get the .ttf fonts installed. As mentioned earlier, I am using Java Desktop System, Release 3 desktop.
Kindly guide me in installing/accessing the .ttf fonts.
Regards,
Sreeram

Solaris 10 x86 & DHCP server

what's your DHCP server configuration?
type dhtadm -P and that will print the configuration of the dhcp table and all your macros.
On another note, I also have a blade server (3Up CMU-4) that has USB keyboard and mouse, even if the interface is PS/2 (converted internally to USB). Solaris will not recognize the keyboard and mouse when installing or booting, but after the kernel is loaded I can use them OK. I do get the keyboard profile error and I think it is related to the fact that there is no PS/2 k/m enabled. The only way that I found that I could use the mouse in the graphical interface was to use a USB keyboard with a hub and connect a USB mouse to the keyboard, Anybody has any explanation for this behavior?

Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart installing from cd instead of install server

Hi all,
I am building a Solaris 10 x86 jumpstart server and was able to jump the client to a certain point. The jump appears to be running but for some reason stops after the first CD ( very peculiar considering the jumpstart is automated). After watching the jump, I discover that the install is using my CD to install rather than from the install server. It is, however, getting the sysidcfg info, rules and profiles from my install server. I booted from CD and then selected Custom Jumpstart to install via the network. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is my add_install_client command:
/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06/Solaris_10/Tools/add_install_client -s server1:/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_10_x86_2006-06 -c server1:/jumpstart -p server1:/jumpstart/Sysidcfg host1 i86pc
Here is the output from that command:

module /I86PC.Solaris_10-1/x86.miniroot
BTW, can someone tell me how to create a grub floppy? Can't seem to find any documentation on that!
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Here is the error output:

So, I have tried this with the -i, -e -i+-e, with -s and without.

Solaris x86 on Compaq DL360 (P21) server

I am having issues installing this OS on the server in the title... it is a DL360 with Dual PIII 998 processors and 1.4G RAM.
I setup the RAID controller at statup to use RAID1 with 2 x 36G drives.... and then boot from the Solaris Disk 1 (no the installer disk)...
I am using the RAID controller driver supplied from Compaq for Solaris 8 and at the first stage it successfully is added during the installation process....
The process goes through as per expected, setup network, setup drive layout and even install required OS modules.. then it happens....
... the request to insert the disk holding file CPQARY2 pops up, disk is inserted but the message 'file cannot be found on disk' is returned....
Silly thing is that the system has already used this driver from this disk to load the HDD RAID conntroller info into memory... it even installs to the disks with no problems....
Is this an issue because the drivers are for Sol8 and not 9??... and does anyone know where and if I can get the drivers for 9??.. they are not on the website for this server model....

did you make any experiance regarding Solaris 10 X86 ?No, but...
Unfortunately there is no Solaris 10 driver for the
built in SmartArray of the DL360 (P21) available.... I expect that the same workaround is OK for Solaris 10, that is,
rename the DU/sol_28 directory to DU/sol_210 on HP's driver
update floppy.

Networking changes between Solaris 10 x86 10/08 (u6) and previous versions?

Solaris Community:
We have a J2SE CORBA-based application (that uses the default Sun ORB) that has run without problems on Solaris 8, 9, and 10 on both SPARC and, more recently, X86 platforms. Upgrading our client side machine (X4100 M2 Opteron platform) from Solaris 10 x86 5/08 (u5) to Solaris 10 x86 10/08 (u6) has resulted in threading or socket contention issues that we have not experienced previously. Using Live Upgrade, we can quickly go back to the u5 install on the client machine .... and the problems go away .... going back to u6, however, and the problems begin to show almost immediately. Our Java code base is identical as is the version of the JDK (1.5.0_16), so it would appear that there must be an underlying change to socket, networking, or threading behavior between these two versions of Solaris.
Thus far, I've not been unable to find details of changes either in the networking support or the threading model that might explain this .... or course, I don't have great expertise in these areas.
I've tried to use 'ndd /dev/tcp SOME_PARAMETER' for all of the /dev/tcp parameters returned by 'ndd /dev/tcp \?' to try to see if there are underlying changes in the /dev/tcp parameters .... but have not found any differences between Solaris 10 u5 and u6.
Can anyone point me to resources that would discuss changes between Solaris 10 u5 or u6 that might explain the problems that we've encountered? Or, alternatively, other system parameters that I could check that might explain changes in either TCP socket or threading behavior?
Thanks for your input,
John

I have a vague memory of someone reporting something similar which turned out to be due to a solaris feature called tcp_fusion.
To check whether thats your problem or not try the following.
Add following line in the /etc/system file.
set ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0
Once the /etc/system file is updated, it will be necessary to restart the system before the workaround will take effect.

Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart Server

I have setup everything just like in this document:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5506/6mkv6kia5?a=view
The client machine that I am trying to jumpstart connects fine, shows" 38800" as the prompt and then just stops. After running "snoop" on the server, I discovered that it connects to it and communicates some data then does some "PRINTER" commands. This is illustrated below (note "titan" is the name of the computer to be jumpstarted and "server" is of course the jumpstart server):
server -> titan TFTP Data block 419 (512 bytes)
titan -> server TFTP Ack block 419
server -> titan TFTP Data block 420 (512 bytes)
titan -> server TFTP Ack block 420
server -> titan TFTP Data block 421 (480 bytes) (last block)
titan -> server TFTP Ack block 421
OLD-BROADCAST -> (broadcast) RARP C Who is 0:3:ba:1d:bd:32 ?
server -> titan RARP R 0:3:ba:1d:bd:32 is 172.20.4.2, titan
titan -> BROADCAST BIFF R port=111
server -> titan BIFF C port=32771
titan -> (broadcast) ARP C Who is 172.20.4.0, server ?
server -> titan ARP R 172.20.4.0, server is 0:6:5b:e7:ad:73
titan -> server WHO R port=32808
server -> titan WHO C port=32808
titan -> server SYSLOG R port=32808
server -> titan SYSLOG C port=32808 BAD.FMT:
titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
server -> titan PRINTER C port=2049
titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
server -> titan PRINTER C port=2049
server -> titan PRINTER C port=2049
titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
titan -> server PRINTER R port=2049
It will then keep doing these "PRINTER" commmands forever. Everythings is setup like it should be, but when the client connects, it just sits there with no error, yet no packages install. It doesn't timeout with the waiting for ARP/RARP either. What is wrong? Any help is much appreciated.

Note that this is a Solaris 10 x86 606 build. I think it might have something to do with the fact that its 606.

Portal Server 7 on Solaris 10 x86 VM???

Hi all, has anyone managed to successfully install portal server 7 into a Solaris 10 x86 VM? A VMWare VM that is.

I'm a colleague of mcleans's, so hopefully i can shed a little light on the situation.
The exact error we're experiencing occurs during the Portal Server install (in configure now, although this occurs with configure later using the psconfig utility too). The error in our log file is ..

        ... 22 moreAnother user of this forum had the same problem it seems - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5234926 - and reported ..
BTW, I recreate the key by using your suggestions. and now portal server was configured, up and runningAs suggested we've also recreated the cacao keys:
cacaoadm create-keys -f The VM we're using was from a template Solaris 10 VM, so we had to change the hostname. As suggested, we also performed a sysuncofig, and also recreated the cacao keys (as above), then installed Application Server, AM SDK (remote) then Portal Server.
We have been in contact with Sun support, and they have told us to put the machine in DNS (rather than just the hosts file), which we have also done.
Any ideas?

Release date for commercial version of Solaris 10 (x86)?

Hi
Does anybody know when the commercial version of Solaris 10 (x86) will be released.
This is rather urgent as the Oracle certification depends on this release date.
thanks

It's already released. (~ Feb 1st, 2005).
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp
(And it seems you can order Solaris 10 media kit now).That's what I thought but there seems to be a difference. According to the Oracle forums support for Solaris 10 will only happen once Sun announces the general availibility of the commercial version of Solaris 10 x86 (which aparrently hasn't happened yet), and that that date depends on Sun.

Which 10g release supports Solaris x86 version 10?

Hi,
I downloaded Oracle 10.1.0.3 for Solaris x86. When I installed it, I got error, saying I can only install this version on Solaris 9 x86. Do you have any idea which Oracle 10g version supports Solaris x86 version 10?
Thanks

Hi,
If we believe metalink, Oracle 10gR1 is already certified for Solaris x86
Solaris Operating System x86 Version 10
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition Version 10g
Status: Certified
Certification Note:
Install Information:
o 1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
o 2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
o 3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
o 4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
o 5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.
Have you run installer like recommended in point 1 ?
For 10gR2, you need to wait december for certification.
Nicolas.

Do I need to install x64 and x86 versions of SQL Server 2012 SP2?

Hi,
I have installed x64 version of SQL 2012 SP2. Do I need to install x86 version of SP2 as well?
(I have some x86 components installed as well that came with various things like SSDT-BI and/or Visual Studio installations.)
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center (64-bit).lnk" shortcut and run "Installed SQL Server features discovery report", it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup Discovery Report".
When I click "SQL Server Installation Center.lnk" shortcut and run same, it says "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 Setup Discovery Report".
Both reports say the same thing: the installed version is 11.2.5058.0, which is SP2.

Hello,
No you dont have to install X86 version
SQL server 2012 installable will install SQL server as per process architecture of your machine. If it is 32 bit machine it will install 32 bit version and for 64 bit it will install 64 bit version. installable has facility for both
Even on 64 bit machines some files, which always work in 32 bit compatibilyt mode, will be installed as well andand they go to SQL server (X86) folder. BIDS, SSIS always by default works in 32 bit compatibility mode.
If report says version as 11.2.5058 it means component is patched to SP2
