Solaris 11 express LACP + multiple vNic + vLan problem.

Whatever configuration I triad only one vNic/Vlan worked and the other not, below are the configuration I used any help is greatly appreciated.

I found these notes from a network engineer.
"you can not use the dladm command on any interfaces that are plumbed up. You have to, "ipadm delete-ip aggrX" before you can use dladm set-prop on aggrX. "
"Do not  change MTU on a configured interface, this has to be done as the first step before the aggr is created."

  • Xauth extract in solaris 11 express

    Hi all,
    I've just migrated from OpenSolaris 2009.11 to Solaris 11 Express. One of the problems I face is X11 forwarding.
    I have solved quite a number of problems related to authenticating X11 connections, but I'm still stuck with this one.
    Now I have a Solaris 11 Express box that I VNC into (using the standard Xvnc). I have a CentOS 5 zone running on this same machine. I need to export my MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE into this zone, so I can forward X11 from the CentOS zone to the globalzone (Solaris 11) client.
    I tried:
    xauth extract - $DISPLAY
    but I got:
    "No matches found, authority file "-" not written"
    I tried all these display variables, but none worked:
    localhost:0
    localhost:1
    localhost:10
    sol11host:0
    sol11host:1
    sol11host:10
    I even tried their IP addresses: 127.0.0.1:<n> and <LAN IP address>:<n> but they didn't work as well.
    However, when I manually do an "xauth list" on the globalzone, and after ssh-ing into the CentOS non-global zone, "xauth add <globalzone IP>:<n> MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 <key taken from xauth list at globalzone>" works.
    Not sure if this has anything to do with me "VNC-ing" into the globalzone from another machine. I don't seem to face any x11 authentication problem if I'm physically on my Solaris 11 box, but VNC-ing to the box gives me this problem.
    Help?
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Hi Abrante,
    Thanks for replying. I did an 'xauth list' again after the 'xauth generate', and saw that two more cookies were created:
    daniel@opensolaris11:~# xauth generate localhost:1
    daniel@opensolaris11:~# xauth list
    #ffff#<...>e302e302e31#:1 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 cc94253d585f... ## This was the original, before 'xauth generate'
    opensolaris11:1 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 7844cf...
    localhost:1 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 7844cf...
    Both cookie values for opensolaris11:1 and localhost:1 are the same.
    abrante wrote:
    Since you ran 'su root' you will still have quite a great deal of the environment setup for 'daniel', hence using 'xauth generate' at that point will probably overwrite the xauth for 'daniel'.
    I'm a bit uncertain as to what exactly you want to do, but i guess you could try 'su - root' or simply try to avoid using xauth generate..
    .7/M.Yes, I guess you're right. I still have most of my environment as 'daniel' though I already su-ed to root. Probably this is the problem.
    I'll try 'su - root' as you suggest.
    What I'm trying to achieve is VNC from my laptop to my Solaris 11 box (i.e. the globalzone), and within my VNC session, 'ssh -X' to my CentOS zone (also within the same Solaris 11 box) and run X apps from there.
    Means I need to forward X11 from my CentOS zone, to my Solaris 11 globalzone and see it on the VNC session on my laptop.

  • Multiple VNICs in Solaris 11 Zone

    Is there a best way to create a vnic within a solaris 11 zone on top of the zone's interface. I was able to create a vnic from the ipmp interface but this
    may not be a proper way.
    Does multiple vnics within a zone need to be created outside the zone first? This is not using a vsw because it's not a private network.

    There are a couple of options:
    1. If  'anet' resource type is specified in zonecfg(1M) for creating the VNIC,
    add another anet for the zone. This will create a second VNIC when the zone is rebooted.
    2. If 'dladm set-linkprop -p zone=...  <vnic-link-name>' is used for assigning the
    VNIC to the zone, create a second VNIC and assign it to the zone the same way.

    What I could do?
    Thanks in advance.

    It was some time ago but I recall getting a similar message when I did the update. If I remember correctly, I had some old OpenSolaris packages installed which I had to remove before I could get the Solaris 11 update to complete. I suspect the old OpenSolaris packages had requirements which were in conflict with the requirements of the newer Solaris 11 release and as a result pkg couldn't find a way to do the update while meeting all of the requirements imposed upon it.

  • Solaris 10 express developer ed. dvd checksum error

    Hi,
    I downloaded the solaris 10 express developer ed. dvd. I used Sun Download manager for the download. the file e had checksum error. Hence the DVD contains checksum error. Is there any way we could correct the download without the need re-download the entire file. Other files ending a,b,c,e dont have this problem. Am i the only one getting this problem or is it a known issue?
    with regards,

    Sorry there is no real way to solve this other than downloading the last segment of the file.

  • Solaris 10 branded zone VM Template Install Problem

    Hi,
    I don't seem to be able to install the template on a system that uses an aggregate NIC (aggr0).  The template install script is looking for physical NICs, which it can't use since the NICs are assigned to the aggregate link.
    Any suggestions for a clean solution or workaround?
    Thanks

    On line 1 of /tmp/zcfg.final:
    SYSsolaris10: No such zone configured
    Problem configuring the zone10 zone, exitingThis indicates one of two things:
    1. You are not running Solaris 11. You may be running Solaris 11 Express, where that template zone name would have been SUNWsolaris10 rather than SYSsolaris10.
    2. You do not have the solaris10 brand installed. You can fix that with:
    # pkg install pkg:/system/zones/brand/brand-solaris10In either case, it would probably be better for the script that wraps the archive to check before trying to install the zone to give a more helpful error message.
    rm: Cannot remove any directory in the path of the current working directory
    //bootimage.7Oayzm/bootstrap
    rm: Unable to remove directory //bootimage.7Oayzm: Directory not emptyThis seems to be an unrelated bug in the error handling routines in the script that wraps the archive. I'll raise this thread to the attention of those that assemble the VM Templates.

  • Deal-breakers for real use of Solaris 11 Express

    I run Solaris 10 U9 for my home 12TB NAS box - based on Supermicro H8SSL-i2 motherboard (ServerWorks HT1000 Chipset and Dual-port Broadcom BCM5704C) and their 8-port SATA2 PCI-X card (AOC-SAT2-MV8). It's a great (but aging) platform and a rock solid OS with the unbeatable ZFS volume manager/filesystem.
    However, despite my willingness to run Solaris 11 Express in this role, I can't because of these deal-breakers:
    1) Lack of a full-featured installer that allows me to lay out or preserve existing partitions the way I want. Making /var a separate file system is a must. Ideally, I'd be able to run multiple versions of Solaris on the same box by customizing grub, and use my ZPOOLs on either Solaris 10 or 11 Express while I learn the new OS.
    2) Lack of support for the Broadcom BCM5704C dual-port gigabit NIC (and others), which work wonderfully under Solaris 10, but are badly broken under Solaris 11 Express. I know I could disable the on-board Broadcom NICs and go buy an Intel card - but why the need for this? Won't there be a fix for Broadcom NICs?
    3) Lack of support for modern, generic, server-class motherboards and PCI-e multi-port SATA/SAS cards. I wonder about the future for Solaris without support for modern, affordable x64 server hardware.
    Maybe I'm missing the point and Solaris 11 Express is only intended to be run as a virtual machine under VBox or VMware. But it would sure be nice to be able to run it on my real hardware - even if it is just a small hobbyist rig. Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Mike

    In Solaris 11, you get a separate /var by default. If you update from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11, this transition doesn't happen automatically. If you decide to tackle it on your own, you need to be sure that it is done in a way that beadm, pkg, and other consumers of libbe will handle properly. I would recommend something along the lines of the following. This is untested and may break your system - prove it out somewhere unimportant first.
    Do the work in a new boot environment so you reduce the likelihood that you will break things in an unrecoverable way.
    # beadm create sepvar
    # beadm mount sepvar /mntFigure out the name of the root dataset of the new boot environment, then create a var dataset as a child of that.
    # rootds=$(zfs list -H -o name /mnt)
    # zfs create -o mountpoint=/var -o canmount=noauto $rootds/varMount this new /var and migrate data
    # mkdir /tmp/newvar
    # zfs mount -o mountpoint=/tmp/newvar $rootds/var
    # cd /mnt/var
    # mv $(ls -A) /tmp/newvarUnmount, remount
    # umount /tmp/newvar
    # beadm unmount sepvar
    # beadm mount sepvar /mntAt this point /mnt/var should be a separate dataset than /mnt. The contents of /mnt/var should look just like the contents of /var, aside from transient data that has changed while you were doing this. Assuming that is the case, you should be ready to activate and boot the new boot environment.
    # beadm activate sepvar
    # beadm unmount sepvar
    # init 6

  • Symbolic lins dont work in solaris 11 express

    Can't create a link
    when i try to create the link i got the following message
    ln: cannot create dir: Operation not applicable?

    The OS install will have multiple symbolic links for it to even work. For examle, /usr/bin is just a soft link to /bin and there are probably 50 or more softlinks in /etc in a new install. Thus your claim that "symbolic links don't work in Solaris 11 Express" seems mildly overstated.
    To say the least.
    Some details could potentially aide in someone helping you to fix your issues.

  • Disable ipv6 in solaris 11 express (2010.11)

    Is there a way to disable ipv6 in Solaris 11 Express?
    I can unlplumb inet6 interfaces but it created again after reboot.
    # ifconfig v1 inet6 unplumb
    # ifconfig lo0 inet6 unplumb
    # ipadm show-if
    IFNAME STATE CURRENT PERSISTENT
    lo0 ok -m-v------4- ---
    v1 ok bm--------4- -46
    Is there a way to get that change persistent?
    And what is there right way to get rid of ndpd daemon?
    Whenever I disable svc:/network/routing/ndp:default it gets back online by 'routeadm -u' after reboot.

    I know how to create addresses. I have no problem with ip4.
    Addresses created and persistent across reboot.
    The only problem that there is also bunch of ipv6 interfaces brought up at reboot and NDP daemon.
    For now I found workaround:
    1. make lo0 controlled by ipadm:
    # ipadm delete-if lo0
    # ipadm create-if lo0
    # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 127.0.0.1/8 lo0/v4
    2. Remove lines with "_family=26" from /etc/ipadm/ipadm.conf
    3. reboot.
    That's all I wanted.
    # ipadm show-if
    IFNAME STATE CURRENT PERSISTENT
    lo0 ok -m-v------4- -4-
    v1 ok bm--------4- -4-
    # routeadm -u
    # routeadm | grep ndp
    disabled svc:/network/routing/ndp:default
    If anyone know how to do the same without editing ipadm.conf please tell.

    (2) The new root partition will be mounted as /a.
    (3) Copy the kbtrans file
    cp -p /kernel/misc/sparcv9/kbtrans /a/kernel/misc/sparcv9/kbtrans
    (4) Reboot
    This is just a workaround - Sun needs to fix the install.

  • Dynamic vlans with multiple fallback-vlans?

    I've got a problem with dynamic vlans. Trying to figure out configuration for the topology similar to the one in the picture.
    I’ve got four vlans for PCs, one vlan per department. I have to add fifth vlan (50) for devices that can be connected to any of the three switches: A, B, C. these devices need to be on their own vlan, no matter to which switch they are connected to. On the other hand, PCs connected to any port on those switches should be assigned to appropriate vlan (10,20,30 or 40).
    I was thinking about using dynamic vlans with list of mac addresses of devices that need to be on vlan 50 but not sure what to do with PCs. I don’t think I can use fallback vlan as I can set up only one fallback vlan for whole network and not per switch or port.
    I cannot use list of mac addresses of all pcs as there’s simply too many of them (my network is way bigger than in the picture, I simplified it only to present the idea). I imagine I would need multiple fallback vlans for different switches.
    Has anyone got any idea that could help me please? Maybe there’s some other and easier way?

    In new software (for Cisco switches) we provide multiple fallbacks for MAC authentication (MAB):
    1. 802.1x
    2. web authentication
    3. guest vlan (if no supplicant on the PC)
    4. auth fail vlan (if radius denies you access)
    So you could keep a list of MAC addresses for vlan 50 and do MAB for these devices if MAB fails you can use 802.1x for your PCs.
    This will require configuring 802.1x supplicants on all PC (Windows comes preloaded with one) and maintaining a radius of users who are able to log into the network. A lot of people use their Active directory pre-existing database as a backend to store their usernames and passwords for user authentication with dot1x.
    With using both dot1x and MAB you can now distinguish easily between two different processes and use your radius server to assign vlans based upon almost anything you can think of.

  • Upgrade from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11 Release (11/11); Guide MIA?

    Would there be an easy way to upgrade from Solaris 11 Express to Solaris 11 Release (11/11)? The FAQ for Solaris 11 Release has the following hopeful text:
    Can I upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11 from Oracle Solaris 11 Express or Oracle Solaris 11 Early Adopter?
    Yes. Customers can upgrade to Oracle Solaris 11 by using the package management tools. Refer to the Oracle Solaris 11
    Transition Guide (http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=E23824&id=MF JAI) for more information
    But that link comes up with an error page 404, "topic not found".
    The one transition guide I can find is:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E23824_01/html/E21799/index.html
    But that covers Solaris 10 jumpstart, not Solaris 11 Express or Early Adopter.
    The Solaris 11 documentation at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/documentation/index.html
    Also seems to mention only Solaris 10, not 11 Express or Early Adopter.
    I have already downloaded the full repo for Solaris 11 Release, and the live installer, but I'm hoping it's something as simple as pointing the ips manager to a new repository, or just loading the full repo I already have as a local source. I would also like to keep the dtrace and sun studio set up I have now in the Express version, without reinstalling them on a new release version on bare metal.
    If it keeps the features of the express version while ironing out a few kinks (gdm authentication bug, etc.), that would rock.
    Many Thanks,
    Gordon

    Alan, Thank You, that worked with no problem at all. 11 Express was already using the correct repository, and only required a pkg command update, then other updates.
    So here's what I'm guessing:
    1. The Oracle Solaris maintained repository for Express and Early Adopter are now the same as Release, but they do require an updated pkg executable and pkg update command.
    2. The second form of the command mentioned in the update guide:
    # pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release
    -G http://internal.co.com/solaris solaris
    is for using a local copy of the repository within our lan or vpn wan.
    3. Updates should be fairly regular now that Solaris 11 is in release version.
    I think the new hash (SHA 256) fried some of our old gdm settings for our users, so we're creating new user accounts, and migrating the older accounts. We don't have too many, so it's not a problem for us. But that brings up another point:
    4. The graphical user manager in Express is now gone, and user and group management are now done with command line interface.
    That's fine with me as well. I always use ssh to connect to the machine and then run the screen command for administration. The graphical user manager was always kludgy in Express, and I couldn't get it to work correctly anyway.
    This is great stuff so far. Well done.

  • Using Solaris 11 Express for a multiprocessor CAD/CAM x86-64 system.

    I'm considering using Solaris 11 Express as the OS for a multiprocessor Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing custom built x86-64 system for my machine shop business. I would like clarification of the license in this situation.
    Would I be allowed to use Solaris 11 for free under the open-source license, or would I have to purchase a commercial license? Would I have to pay for program updates? Does just the Oracle Solaris Premier Subscription for Solaris 11 require payment rather than the actual software as well? Would I be required to purchase an Oracle Solaris Premier Subscription to use Solaris 11 in my situation, or can I purchase the Oracle Solaris Premier Subscription at a later date.
    I have a lot of respect the open-source concept, and I would only use Solaris while keeping it's license intact. So the answers to these questions are very important factors affecting my decision regarding whether or not my company will start to use Solaris.

    I'm afraid you'll have to contact Oracle directly to clarify what applies in your situation.

  • Does Airport Express support multiple ethernet connections via a switch?

    If I use the following configuration, with the Airport Express extending my network, will it handle multiple devices connected via a switch?
    Modem---Airport Extreme- - -802.11n- - -Airport Express---Switch---multiple devices (eg. network printer and iMac).
    Or do I need to use a second Airport Extreme instead?

    It works for me—even when the AirPort Express device is configured to extend the wireless network created by the AirPort Extreme router.
