Solaris 7 compatibility question

We have to deliver statically-linked binaries to a site that is running Sparc/Solaris 7. We are running Solaris 8 but have an old workstation that is still running Solaris 2.5.1.
Two questions:
1. If we compile and statically link our binaries on Solaris 2.5.1, will they run correctly on Solaris 7?
2. If we compile and statically link our binaries on Solaris 8, will the run correctly on Solaris 7? (Seems unlikely, but it can't hurt to ask!)
Thanks

Hello,
I'm wanting to install a windows system on my iMac. My question is can I install the new Windows 7 on my iMac. If so, can I purchase a Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - OEM? This is what I would buy from a site such as newegg. Or, do I have to buy the full retail home version which is of course a lot more expensive.
The biggest question is can I do this with bootcamp. My current version only lists XP and Vista. Will Windows 7 work as well? I have not upgraded to the new snow leopard. Do I have to do that as well?
I sure would appreciate any info.
Thanks
That should work, i dont think theres a limit or lowest denominator for installing the latest windows on the mac

Never heard of or used WinClone? that does a good job at backing up the Windows partition...throws into a nice little image file you can save off to an external somewhere safe

A small conglomerate of E450/Solaris 10 Questions!

To whom it shall concern or can just help out:
Solaris 10 Questions
If I wish to run an iSCSI target under Solaris 10, will GA do it or do I need the Express verison of Solaris 10 (for an E450, SPARC)?
If the GA version of Solaris 10 supports iSCSI targets, how capable is it to socialize that with ZFS in combination?
Can Solaris 10 (for SPARC) support any IDE PCI cards on the E450?
Can Solaris 10 (for SPARC) support any USB PCI cards on the E450?
Can Solaris 10 (for SPARC) support any FireWire (1394) PCI cards on the E450?
Other than Solaris Express being more experimental than the GA version, how problematic is it to run Express vice the GA in terms of daily reliability?
Taking a presumptive position that Solaris 10 Express or GA allows for an iSCSI target capability (with or without ZFS inclusive thereto) has anyone attempted to connect to such an alleged Solaris iSCSI target successfully from MacOS using this initiator:

E450 Questions
What DVD drives are support on the SCSI bus for an E450 to boot from for the purposes of asserting a DVD based Solaris 10 installation?
I am also looking for any of the following hardware (if you have it at a good price, do contact me offline at 310-358-0202, or [email protected]):
(a) DVD Drives
(b) Backplane hardware and cables requisite to increase the amount of DASD that can be installed in an E450 from 4 to 12 or 20
(c) RAM
(d) Processors
(e) Multi-port Ethernet cards
Thanks in advance!

I have been running solaris 10 on an e450 for ages
and it works fine. I slid the drive out of a
Blade1000 to load the DVD.
Which version (specifically) of Solaris 10 are you running?
GA?
Express?
Which month/year release?
Regarding the DVD:
An interesting solution, though I do not have a Blade1000 handy, so I will continue to look for a compatible DVD player I can use within the e450 for an inexpensive price, unless you are suggesting that a Blade1000 with a DVD is cheaper than a DVD for the e450. Are you suggesting such?
HCL lists are available for the e450.Perhaps you can suggest where I might find them sir?
That truly would be helpful, as I had presumed already that such lists were existent.
>
The backplane can be bought cheap to expand the drive
number.Still investigating the part number, but yes, I'd imagine so. Do you perhaps know the part numer for this item sir?
>
Not sure about any of the iscsi stuff.Too bad, that was an important part of the information I was looking for.
>
Ebay ebay ebay for e450 gear. Once I know the part numbers, ebay will be a great tool for finding the hardware, I agree.
>
On another note, the e450 is a beast weighting in
around 300 pounds fully loaded. Sucks up more power
than NY city on a hot day and can heat a fairly large
building. Not to mention they sound like small
airplanes.
I live in Vegas, electricity is burned out here in outrageous amounts on a daily basis.
Indeed, I am presuming that when they (I have two) are running during the winter, that I will be able to heat my 1895 sq foot house (or at least one deck of it).
I know they are one of the most interesting computer
designs out there but unless you a glutten for slow
processors max 480 mhz I would suggest you buy
something a bit newer. One ultra45 would be better
and hold more drive space and ram.
Years in the computer industry and I will never understand why, when people ask technical questions others feel they are helping to say "replace your hardware", when indeed it is not broken and they are attempting to use it. I have to admit, you are not the first to do such a thing.
I understand you think there is something better, and honestly, I certainly am not inept enough to have not considered that, yet still I posted the query in the instant post asking about the e450.
Consider this: perhaps I was interested in using the e450 and getting the questions answered...nah...why would I want to do that?
If you do like the old hardware and redundancy is not
critical I would suggest getting a blade2000 off of
ebay for around 600 dollars. Still big and beautiful
but far far faster. I use a Blade1000 (wont die) and
have firewire drives plugged into it for more space.And what suggestion would you proffer if the $600 budget is not there?
Using the e450 perhaps? :)

Monitor Compatibility Question

I plan on purchasing a Mac Pro with the Radeon X1900 XT card in the near future. I have been shopping around for a good monitor, and the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP (found here: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku= 320-4335) caught my eye. However, at the bottom of the tech specs, it lists only PC under "Compatibility." I know of other people who have used Dell monitors for their Macs, and this monitor does have DVI, so I don't see why it would not be compatible with the Mac Pro. Does anyone know definitively whether or not this monitor would work?

Hello,
You should be just fine. The majority of monitors are listed as compatible with PC's only. The simple reason is that the manufacturers don't care to test them with Macs and have all their resources devoted to supporting what they know.
If they mentioned that it would work with a Mac, then they would be stuck trying to answer your questions on the phone if you needed help. Since they don't use Macs, and don't maintain a staff of Mac trained people, it is easier to just omit official support. That way they can just tell you that they don't support Macs and hang-up the phone.
I've been using PC monitors with my Macs since before Apple even supported PC monitors at all (you used to have to buy monitors with Apple specific cables). I would just use an adapter to convert the PC connector to connect to the Mac video port.
In all my years, I've never found a PC monitor that would not work with my Mac. And, that still holds true today. I've used several low-end monitors with my current machines, and all work fine.
I've even got a bargain basement DVI monitor connected right-now, and it works perfectly.
Basically, if you want official support and a guarantee, then buy a monitor that specifically lists Mac compatibility.
But, if you are willing to accept that their phone support will avoid helping you, then go with any brand you like.
Understand that Dell is primarily interested in selling and supporting Dell computers. They have no interest in fielding calls from Mac users because they are not going to be familiar with OS X. Naturally, they will list PC compatibility because they know Windows very well.
But, you should also understand that the only difference between an Intel-based Mac and an Windows PC, is that the Intel-based Mac can also run OS X. Otherwise, they are just different brands of computers that use pretty much the same hardware.
I hope this helps.

Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name?

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on <i>"how do I install my OS"</i>
You particular question is in the <i>"how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive"</i> forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?

Tomcat 3.1 on Solaris 8 question

I would like to use the above product as my JSP container.
I am running into a problem when it comes to "mod_jserv.so".
I can get this to work all day under Linux. Now that I have
moved my application to a Solaris 8 machine, I can't get my
apache web server to properly load the mod_jserv.so library.
My question is, is there a mod_jserv.so for Solaris? I can't
seem to find any answers on jakarta.apache.org.
Thank you.

Actually, if you read further and see the large table with the performance comparisons using the different threading options on machines with different CPUs/configurations, it says:
"Here's a table of results on various Solaris boxes, all running Solaris 8 with JVM 1.3.1: "
So it looks like it should work fine with 1.3.1.

Platform compatibility question(s) from new user!

I'm confused.
I picked up Java a few days ago, with the intention of converting a long-standing JavaScript project that I have to run as an applet. I downloaded and installed the Java2 SDK (1.4) and associated runtime environment, and a simple but good IDE (JCreator 2).... and I'm happily developing applets to my heart's content. Cool language, by the way.
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their browsers complain that they can't find the class. Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly made the assumption that it's because I've installed the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
I REALLY want to use 1.4 to develop if I can. My JavaScript project that I'm converting is heavily dependant upon regular expression operations, and it would be a pity not to have them available - but platform compatibility is a must; this is a commercial project.
I'm missing something here, and I need to ask some really fundemental questions.
1. I was assuming that most browsers over 4.0 would support "Java2". Just what IS their level of support, by default. I hate new plug-ins, and the Java ones arent trivial!
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4) would work on the same virtual machine release, and that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?
3. If I have to develop for maximum compatibility with earlier browsers, can I do this with 1.4 and some compiler switch, or do I have to download older SDKs?
4. If the worst comes to the worst, is there a class out there that handles regular expression "style" operations that will work on older releases of the language.
Sorry that there's a fair bit there to answer, but since I can't find this info ANYWHERE on the web, I guess I won't be the only newbie facing such issues.
Peter McKean.

just a few points to add to the other answer :
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on
Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their
browsers complain that they can't find the class.
Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly
made the assumption that it's because I've installed
the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
Yeah the Java support in IE is whack. The m$ JVM never got past java 1.1.4 compatability for various reasons. So unless you want users to install the java 2 pluggins, you have to code applets with the java 1.1 api. You can still do this with a java 2 sdk - you just have to watch the parts of the api you use.
>>
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4)
would work on the same virtual machine release, and
that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to
existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?Yeah you are wrong ;) . When do do:
import java.<package>.<class>
you are telling the compiler where to find the classes you are about to re-use in your code. You are not including them in your final compiled class files. So when the program runs, it looks for the classes in the classpath. If you use classes that don't exist in an older jvm, the program won't run in that jvm. (Same as if a C or C++ program is dynamically linked to dlls (in Win32) or shared objects on unix - they need to be on the system that the program is executed on.)
hope this helps...

Urgent: Solaris newbie question: group permissions etc

Hi
I have a question on what is the best practice of working with solaris users and permissions. I'm using Solaris 10 and have created several users each with their home directory in /export/home. Then i have installed the sun webserver under /export/home/sun/webserver and i want all users to be able to use this, execute or copy over to the webserver.. would this be a valid solution or good practice solution tht i crete a group give it the permissions to read/write/execute and all the users i want to give this privilege to will be under this group. but then whats the use of having root like how would root user be different from the rest now...
thanks...

If you just want them to be able to publish to the web, apache has a little built in script in the httpd.conf that will hook in a user directory. Read the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file for more info.
Whether this is best practice I am not sure. What you suggest will work but I would avoid it.

Solaris Installation question (from sun course)

Hello, I am just learning about solaris from the course WS-2001-S10. I hope this kind of question is fit for this forum...otherwise please direct me to where I can ask about it.
There is a review question at the end of the installation module like this:
Which Solaris 10 OS installation methods are available to perform a standard upgrade?
     Solaris suninstall and Custom Jumpstart
     [x]Solaris suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart
     Solaris Web Start and Custom Jumpstart
Feedback:
     Correct.
The correct answer is 2 but i don't really get it why. In the course they say nothing about Web Start and from what i have read Web Start is just a Web-Based Jump Start installation.
In the course SUN says that "The methods available for a standard upgrade are Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure. "
So "suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart" from the answer equals "Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure" from course...
Also from what I understood the jumpstart installation is also CLI ...(totally confused now)
Can someone shed some light on this please?

OIM Java Compatibility Question

Hi
We have OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 deployed in Weblogic 10.3.0 in test env. Our java version is JDK 1.6.0_10. All our adapters are compiled in this version. We are using this version of java since 1 year.
Now we are moving to production, and we are not able to get exact java version which we used in test env in internet. My question is if I install java which is certified by weblogic 10.3(i.e 1.6.0_05) then will I face any issues in OIM? is it mandatory to use exact version of java from one env to another?
Thanks

Does not make any difference with sub versions. The version compatibility comes into picture at a higher level like JDK 1.5 or JDK 1.6.
Consider the connector development team, they develop connectors on JDK 1.6 (could be any sub version) and when a customer uses that OOTB connector, they can use any of those sub-versions within JDK 1.6.
Also the fact that if its your custom adapters then you should be aware that what all java functions you are using and I assume it would be the basic ones, so the version difference should not bring in any issues. If its OOTB connector then see the certification matrix as well.

Prgraming for Solaris - Basic Question

Hi,
I am very new to Unix and Solaris and have some questions I hope some one maybe able to help with.
I was recently handed a new application which runs on a Unix server with Solaris OS 10 installed. I connected to the server remotely and have done some basic Unix Shell programing to help automate many of the functions.
Here is my question. I want to create a GUI interface to allow uses to run some programs. I have some experience with Java and .NET programing. So I am familiar with object oriented programing. However I am somewhat lost in this new environment and need some guidance.
My server has the latest java run time environment. Can I create a java app on my PC and move it to the unix server?
Is C the only programing language for Solaris?
Thanks in advance.
Phil

Phil,
If you already have shell scripts for these "apps", then the easiest implementation is just to do it in CGI since all you need to do is reformat the output and just use HTML forms to take inputs from the user.
However if you really wanted to, then you could rewrite your code for implementation in JSP. You could call it with something like :
java.lang.Runtime rt = java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime();
rt.getRuntime().exec("/home/user/HelloWorldApp.sh");Make sure that all the environment variables (e.g. PATH) are explicitly set in your shell script since the JSP forks the script with a different user ID which I think is "nobody" and so your script may either (a) run with unexpected results, or (b) appear to not run at all.
Cheers,

10Gb-10Gb cross-device compatibility questions (PHY-connectors)...

Hi, all, in general, I'm a little surprised at all the PHYsical layer standards running 10Gb Ethernet. This seems to have hindered adoption rate substantially. I have been recently getting questions like can I connect this server chassis to this switch device. or can I connect future-proof the switch deployment now so that it will handle 10Gb firewalls when we buy those. And we have some older 6509e chassis with SUP-720, which don't seem to be able to support SFP+ linecards easily. this is pretty confusing, so just wondering if someone has found a document covering all the PHY-layer interoperability gotcha's.
I found this link, which shows the different 10Gb cards/modules for the switches:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/OL_6974.html
And this link, which explains the different L2 connector types
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-gigabit_Ethernet
Questions:
1. What is required for 6509e with VS-SUP720-10G to support SFP+ 10Gb connectors? looks like I need a WS-X6708-10G-3C with a special convertor: CVR-X2-SFP10G? will this WS-X6708-10G-3C run with VS-SUP720-10G?
2. In general, can I always adapt a XenPak/X2 connector to a SFP+ connector somehow with a special dual-end cable?
3. Are there any connector types that will not be compatible with each other? Such as Xenpack wont connect to X2. I could read the matrix, but wondering if anyone ran across any that stick out for them?
4. If I have a cable such as this SFP-H10GB-CU5M= (SFP+ twinax), will that work to connect up a typical server such as HP proliant with an SFP+ NIC, in almost all cases? one reason I ask is that I see the server guys bringing in their SFP+ Direct Copper cables with premade SFP+ ends, and wondering if those will be fine in most cases connecting up to cisco switch side. Or vice versa, if I use the pre-made cisco cable, will it connect to a server NIC? historically, different vendors didn't play nice with regard to these SFP standards. Does this relegate me to pretty much buying cisco SFP+ connectors in some version of fiber, and connect them to the HP-branded SFP+ fiber connectors?
5. what are the future adoption plans for 10GBASE-T (8P8C). It seems like cisco makes a connector (X2-10GB-T), which looks promising. Is anyone using those? Does anyone think that will become the predominate standard in time, like it has for 1GB connections?

X2-10GB-T is end of life soon.
There is a SFP+ version like

Compatibility questions re: OS X Server and new ATA serial HD

The good news: We just got a 500 GB ATA serial HD with some end of year money just as we were running out of space on our 250 GB drive.
The bad news: We have an Xserve G5 running OS X Server 10.3.7 and the hard drive says we need to be running OS X Server 10.4.7 or later.
I checked the Apple Store to see if they had any ATA drives compatible with our version of the OS X software but the only 500 GB serial ATA I found was no longer available. Looking at the 750 GB ATA I can't find any specs as to software compatibility.
Suggestions? I really don't want to spend $1000 to upgrade to OS X 10.4 right now.
Thanks in advance for the input.

Hi PrintTech-
I think the hardware will be fine. You may want to search this forum as I seem to remember this question coming up before and it turned out that all was well.
Assuming that this is an Apple-branded drive in an Apple sled hardware-wise you should be fine.

3G - 4S Compatibility Questions

I've had my iPhone 3G for almost 3 years and now want to upgrade to the new 4S. I have a couple of questions concerning compatibility between my current phone and the 4S:
Is the charger/docking connector compatible? I use this not only for syncing and charging, but also to connect to my iHome speaker device. I don't want to have to replace the latter as well as all my cables (including the charging cable for my car).
Is the new Bluetooth 4.0 compatible with my current Bluetooth 2? I pair not only with headsets, but also with my car.
Thanks.

No, my statement is correct. Read the first 4 words if the sentence, The APPLE cable is still compatible. Older 3rd party docks may not be.
Although the 1st gen iPhone and iPod touch had FireWire charging capability in the dock connector for compatibility with older cables and docks, the supplied cable was USB and the same as current. Only the 1st gen iPods (circa 2001) were Firewire only.

Pairing Compatability Question?

I was not getting any answers in Bluetooth Thread so moved the question here in hopes of some answers.
I am one who is looking to consolidate headphones/headsets into one unit that will give me phone/music compatability. Once they activate the A2DP on the iPhone, I want to already be able to use one headset.
I am currently seriously considering the Jabra BT8010 Convertable Headset.
http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/products/Pages/JabraBT8010.aspx
My question is...has anyone tried pairing ANY (and/or the BT8010) Jabra headset with the iPhone???
I will use the Jabra A120s to transmit the music until the A2DP is activated
I have also looked at Bluetake's i-Phono mini, iSkin's Cerulean F1 and BlueAnt's X5...Jabra seems to win the battle hands down when you compare Cost, Noise Cancellation(jabra has) Transmitters, Flexibility, Sound, and other areas that are important to me.
Other responses to pairing would also be appreciated by all.

Bump...Still looking for users who have paired or attempted to pair Jabra Headsets to iPhone?
