Solaris 10 zones - Resource Controls not persisting through reboot

Local zone was rebooted, but somehow the resource controls are not well configured and the oracle database did not start up.
The cat /etc/project shows this : The local zone has 10 gb. The oracle database was started manually with the startdb.sh, which conn /assysdba and issue a startup, adn also startups the listener.
cat /etc/project
system:0::::project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,8589934000,deny)
user.root:1::::project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,8589934000,deny)

Nikolay, thank you for your reply.
What I know is that the zone was rebooted saturday. sunady at 1:00 am the oracle database (I'am a Dba not sysadmin), perform coldbackup (veritas.) then Veritas call a unix script to starts the database.
I run the script to starts the database manually sunday. Veritas could not open the database because of the Out of Memory.
The box has 10 gb , the oracle user, the rot and system are configured to use 8 gb, the rest are configured to use less.
I'am oracle user.

  • Solaris 10 Resource Control

    When utilizing Solaris 10 Resource Control, should one use "user.root", "user.oracle" or "oracle" for the project identifier? Does it really make a difference?
    For example,
    I. projadd -U oracle -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,2048MB,deny)" user.oracle
    II. projadd -U oracle -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,2048MB,deny)" user.root
    III. projadd -U oracle -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,2048MB,deny)" oracle
    I realize the Oracle Install documentation indicates "user.root", but I've seen other indications of either "user.oracle" or "oracle".

    thanks buddy. I was in this same tricky situation. and ur post solved my prblem.
    Is this a bug with solaris 10.
    Later i discovered.. on Oracle documentation that.. there r sum parameters that needed to be taken care while pre-installation of Oracle binaries.
    Here is the excerpts.
    The Oracle installer recognizes kernel parameters set using this method, but it is now deprecated in favour of resource control projects, explained below.
    As the root user, issue the following command.
    projadd oracle
    Append the following line to the "/etc/user_attr" file.
    oracle::::project=oracle
    If you've performed a default installation, it is likely that the only kernel parameter you need to alter is "max-shm-memory". To check the current value issue the following command.
    # prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
    project: 100: oracle
    NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
    project.max-shm-memory
            privileged       254MB      -   deny
            system          16.0EB    max   deny     
    To reset this value, make sure at least one session is logged in as the oracle user, then from the root user issue the following commands.
    # prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
    # projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4gb,deny)" oracle
    The first dynamically resets the value, while the second makes changes to the "/etc/project" file so the value is persistent between reboots.
    # cat /etc/project
    system:0::::
    user.root:1::::
    noproject:2::::
    default:3::::
    group.staff:10::::
    oracle:100::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4294967296,deny)
    The Oracle installer seems incapable of recognising kernel parameter set using resource control projects, but if you ignore the warnings the installation completes successfully.Even this method works.

  • Zone Resource Control example website

    G'Day folks,
    I've began work on a website to list examples of setting zone resource controls (processor sets, FSS, ...).
    http://www.brendangregg.com/zones.html
    Now before I get carried away, does anyone think that maybe I shouldn't - if so I will take it offline no problem.
    Just checking I dont get replies like,
    "please don't document zones as it's all about to change", or something like that ...
    PS. I was pretty happy to see FSS work - that's really cool! :-)
    thanks,
    Brendan Gregg
    [Sydney, Australia]

    G'Day Gary,
    Thanks for your comments!
    Here are some corrections/additions:
    The best way to check if pools are enabled is to run
    pooladm and examine the output. poold may not be
    running and pools may still be active, so performing
    a pgrep for poold isn't conclusive.Yes, good point.
    In commands 2, you don't need the "final pooladm -c".
    The poolcfg -df command will have already done
    e this.The final pooladm -c didn't make sense the first time I encountered it, so I had made pretty sure that it was necessary. I'll redo my checks and update the site. Without it, I'm only using poolcfg to make changes, and the man page for poolcfg has:
    # man poolcfg
         If you use the -d option,
         the modifications occur to the kernel state. Actual  activa-
         tion  of  the  resulting configuration is achieved by way of
         the pooladm(1M) command.It seems to imply a pooladm command is necessary for activation (I used a pooladm -c).
    In Resources CPU1 it may be worth mentioning that you
    can immediately modify pool bindings for zones if you
    use poolbind.
    e.g.
    /usr/sbin/poolbind -p work1-pool -i zoneid workzone1thanks, I hadn't seen this before!
    At the end of Resource CPU 2. It isn't poold which
    decides how to allocate CPUs when a configuration is
    applied to a system using pooladm -c. This work is
    done inside libpool (3LIB) by the pool_conf_commit
    API.Ok, I haven't seen documentation on what specifically happens after typing pooladm -c. The documentation such as the poold man page draws a lot of attention to poold:
    # man poold
         poold periodically examines  the  load  on  the  system  and
         decides whether intervention is required to maintain optimal
         system performance with  respect  to  resource  consumption.
         poold also responds to externally initiated (with respect to
         poold) changes of either resource  configuration  or  objec-
         tives.
         If intervention is required, poold  attempts  to  reallocate
         the  available  resources  to ensure that performance objec-So a change in resource configuration sounds like it means "pooladm -c", and poold is responding.
    I'm not sure you meant pool_conf_commit, the man page describes it as writing the config to permanent storage - not triggering an allocation of CPUs.
    At my work blog, I have various hints, tips and
    tricks for Solaris Resource Pools. If you want to add
    a link to my blog (where I try and focus on Solaris
    Resource Management issues) feel free. It's at:
    http://blogs.sun.com/garypen
    Great, I've linked it already, and uploaded a new version (and I imagine I'll upload more versions as I learn more about resource controls).

  • Guide Line for zone resources control

    Hi,
    i'm looking for guide line or best practices about zone resource control, especially cpu-shares, swap and RAM.
    I need this information to make decision when customers has no idea but has a lot of zone configured.
    For example:
    t2000, 32gb ram, 32gb swap and 20 zones
    Applications run only in zones.
    How can I set cpu-shares, max-swap and capped memory just for security purpose?
    Thanks

    I'm of the opinion that the safest strategy for proactive resource management is CPU only. Playing with memory can have some effects that I'm not crazy about. Nothing unmanageable, but it can really confuse end-users unless you spend a lot of time educating them. The other consideration is that behind most resource pulls are increases in CPU use. Not always, but a lot of the time. So, if you must be proactive, go with CPU.
    The best practice will depend heavily on your environment. Do you migrate zone containers in and out of the box often? Are the apps very similar or wildly differing? Many things need to be decided before mapping out a strategy. Let's take a simple case: Fairly similar apps that don't move in and out often. Figure out what percentage of the box you want each to have, then set up dynamic resource pools to match this model.
    If you have a lot of zones and some degree of change, dynamic pools can get unwieldy, so you may prefer using the Fair share scehduler (FSS). In many cases however, proactive use of SRM means that you need to rebalance resources when you add/remove a zone.
    I think once you understand the various resource controls available to you it's best to just make a bunch of scribbles on a white board to depict what you want at a high level and then map it into a resource constraint that best implements it. The hard part is defining what you want.

  • [SOLVED] netcfg static IP not persisting across reboots in VM

    I ran into an issue with netcfg static IP not persisting across reboots in a VM. I figured it out, but it took me awhile as a brand new user, so I thought I'd post it.
    Setup
    Using VMWare Workstation 8.0.3 build-703057 with bridged networking
    Host OS: Linux Mint 14 64-bit
    Guest OS: Arch Linux 2013.03.01 x86_64
    Given a fresh install on the guest, setup netcfg:
    cd /etc/network.d
    cp examples/ethernet-static ./myprofile
    nano myprofile
    # customize this file. I also added NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
    systemctl enable netcfg@myprofile
    systemctl start netcfg@myprofile
    Test the configuration. It should be successful:
    ping google.com
    Problem
    See if the changes survive a reboot.
    reboot
    ping google.com
    I got the error "connect: Network is unreachable".
    Check the logs:
    journalctl
    G
    I found the following netcfg failure..
    [email protected]: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
    ..prior to the following device initialization:
    kernel: e1000 0000:02:00.0 eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
    system-udevd[117]: renamed network interface eth0 to emp2s0
    Solution
    It looks like netcfg is being started before the device it depends on has been initialized. Inform systemd of the
    dependency so they start in the proper order:
    # nano /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/[email protected]
    # Add the following to [Unit]. Remember to replace enp2s0 with your device name.
    Requires=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp2s0.device
    After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp2s0.device
    Test again:
    reboot
    ping google.com
    This should now be successful.

  • Tap to click setting in system preferences not persisting after reboot!

    Hi,
    This is the 2nd time this has happened.. I shut down my system, and boot it up later, and when I go to tap, nothing happens. I go into to system prefs > trackpad, and see that my tap to click & dragging options are unchecked......
    Why is it not remembering those settings?
    -patrick

    I also have this behavior. It seems all trackpad preferences fail to persist after reboot and logout/login. I also disable Pinch Open & Close and Rotate settings and those also revert.

  • [SOLVED] Systemd journal not preserved through reboot

    It appears that my journal in /var/log/journal is being flushed just before reboot. Every time I view the journal with the --all flag, the furthest back I can go is to right before the last reboot or power-off. Moreover, my /var/log/journal directory seems incapable of growing bigger than 2.6Mb or so, even though I have the journal configured to max out at 50Mb.

    Also of free space and that will trump SystemMaxUse. I know because it happens on my system. As /var fills, systemd keeps smaller persistent journal records.
    EDIT:
    SystemMaxUse= and RuntimeMaxUse= control how much disk space the
               journal may use up at maximum. Defaults to 10% of the size of the respective file system.  SystemKeepFree= and
               RuntimeKeepFree= control how much disk space the journal shall always leave free for other uses if less than the disk space
               configured in SystemMaxUse= and RuntimeMaxUse= is available. Defaults to 15% of the size of the respective file system.
               SystemMaxFileSize= and RuntimeMaxFileSize= control how large individual journal files may grow at maximum.
    Strictly speaking this seems inaccurate, though. You have more than the value of SystemMaxUse available so SystemKeepFree should not apply. However, it does.

  • Solaris intel (x86) DCA not saving when rebooted.

    I'm working with a Panasonic CF-71 toughbook laptop. I have loaded the 2.6 Solaris intel OS and the Xig PCMCIA patch. I have been successful in getting a 3Com 3C589D card to work, but only if I enter into DCA at boot time and delete the PnP ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3 and then add a ISA PCMCIA device at port 3e2-3e3. Unfortunately this must be done every time the system is rebooted. Does any one know of a way to do this delete/add using the /etc/system file? Any help is much appreciated.

    I have download Solaris 9 x86 and Cd1 at boot time gives the same error as you mentioned. I am using my Toshiba Satellite A60. I have check the HDL list and its not listed there. Does it mean I can not install Solaris 9 x86 on this box. When I boot I get the same error which is mentioned above.
    For more information I never installed Solaris in past and have no idea which Disk space /partition to be created it talks about in Install Guide.
    Can some please clarify and do let me know where am I going wrong and how to fix it.

  • Solaris 10 resource controls - /etc/system vs /etc/projects

    Can someone please explain to me why, if we set the set the max shared memory segment in the /etc/system file using 'set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967296' we are seeing 800GB instead of 4GB when running 'prctl -n project.max-shm-memory':
    /etc/system:

    What is setting the maximum size for a shared segment to 800GB when using the /etc/system file to set the parameter?
    If we remove the settings from /etc/system and use the normal default projects settings we get 1/4 of the physical memory, which is what we would expect to see.
    Please note we will be using projects to control resources - I am just curious as to the effect of the /etc/system [set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967296] setting above

    I have since found the answer - the 800GB is coming from shminfo_shmmax multiplied by shminfo_shmmni. This has been confirmed on another system with different values.

  • Settings/icons/more not persisting through restart

    I just recently installed ML and on every restart, my dock goes back to what it was on Lion and all my settings revert to what they were on lion. Nothing I change stays through a restart.
    More examples after restart:
    ical and address book return as ? icons in the dock, even though I've removed them and replaced them with Calendar and Contacts
    Brand new adds to the dock, like messages, leave and I have to re-add them
    Firefox, which I've set as my default browser, returns to non-default status
    My screen starts in inverted-colors mode for no apparent reason, forcing me to hit Cmd+Option+Ctrl+8 to switch to normal
    Any help?

    This is a long shot but it worked for me once when my stuff was messed up at start.  I was told to do this by an Apple phone support person and it worked.  And it may have nothing to do with your problem, but . . .
    You need another admin user on the mac.  Restart and log into the other user.  Then restart back to your user.  I did that and all was fixed. I asked how, and was just told that a mac does a lot of self healing.  Your mileage may vary, and this was before Mountain Lion.

  • Bookmarks bar and tab controls not working in mobile Safari on iPad2

    The bookmarks bar as well as tab controls in Mobile Safari on iPad 2 are not clickable. Only the topmost nav buttons work. This persists through reboots w/Safari closed via mem manager, and a system restore. What do?

    closing Safari via the taskbar
    or having done a reset (unless that is what you mean by a reboot)
    "This persists through reboots w/Safari closed via mem manager"
    That is obviously exactly what I meant. How does one reboot an iPad without "resetting" it? How does one do a system restore without "resetting" it?

  • What is the resource control corresponding to each kernel parameter

    Hi
    I am trying to prepare (i.e. tune) a Solaris 10 instance for an Oracle 10g install using a Solaris 10 project.
    I am new to using Solaris 10 project resource controls so I might get some of this totally wrong.
    I know all of the "old" kernel parameter names: what each represents and its' required value and I know some of the corresponding resource controls but not all of them.
    That is I do not know the resource control corresponding to each and all of the kernel parameters.
    e.g. I know:
    semsys:seminfo_semmsl == process.max-sem-nsems == The maximum number of sempahores that can be in one semaphore set
    shmsys:shminfo_shmmax == project.max-shm-memory == The maximum size(in bytes) of a single shared memory segment
    shmsys:shminfo_shmmni == project.max-shm-ids == The number of shared memory identifiers
    But I do not know, for example, what resource control corresponds to:
    semsys:seminfo_semmns == The number of semaphores in the system
    Is there a list somewhere of the resource control corresponding to each of the kernel parameters ?
    I know I can set some kernel parameters in /etc/system but that should only be used for system - wide kernel parameters, right ?
    I know there are project, process, task and zone classes of resource controls.
    Can a resource control of any and all of these types be set in a project ?
    Are zone resource controls equivalent to system-wide resource controls ?
    Are there corresponding resource controls to all kernel parameters e.g. such as noexec_user_stack ?
    I have set noexec_user_stack in /etc/system.
    And finally - just to be sure - using a project makes the resource control values permanent, right ?
    Thanks
    Brett.

  • Resource Management and Solaris Zones Developer Guide

    Solaris Information Products ("Pubs") is creating a

    Hi there, i'm using solaris resource management in a
    server with more thant 2thousand acounts.
    Created profiles for users, defaul, staff, root and
    services.Seeing the contents of your /etc/project file could be helpful.
    But while using rctladm to enable syslog'ing, I set up
    global flags of "deny" and "no-local-action" in almos
    everything.The flags on the right hand side of the rctladm(1M) output are read-only:
    they are telling you the characteristics of the resource control in question (what
    operations the system will allow the resource control to take).
    Now, many aplications don't work because they are
    denied enough process.max-stack-size and
    process.max-file-descriptor for them to work.
    Applications such has prstat.If prstat(1) is failing due to the process.max-file-descriptor control value, that's
    probably a bug. prstat(1) is more likely bumping into the limit to assess how many file
    descriptors are available, and then carrying on--you're just seeing a log message since
    prstat(1) tested the file descriptor limit, and you've enabled syslog for that control. Please
    post the prstat(1) output, and we'll figure out if something's breaking.
    I don't find a way to disable the global flags. You can't. I would disable the syslog action on the process.max-stack-size control first;
    there is an outstanding bug on this control, in that it will report a false triggering event--
    no actual effect to the process. (If you send me some mail, I will add you as a call record
    on the bug.)
    Can anyone tell me:
    how to disable global flags?
    how to disable and enable solaris resource management
    all together?You could raise all of the control values, but the resource control facility (like the resource
    limit facility it superseded) is always active. Let's figure out if you're hitting the bug I mentioned,
    and then figure out how to proceed.
