Solaris 7 x86 Network Configuration
I'm trying to connect two Solaris boxes this way: "solaris2" will access "solaris1".
"solaris1" is 192.168.10.11
"solaris2" is 192.168.10.12
I have the following configuration on solaris1 (the box that will be accessed by solaris2):
FILE: /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
192.168.10.11 solaris1
192.168.10.12 solaris2
FILE: /etc/hosts.equiv
solaris2
FILE: /etc/hostname.dnet0
solaris1
FILE: /etc/netmasks
192.168.10.0
FILE: ./rhosts
solaris2
I can't get them connected. When I ping each other I don't have any response. When I do arp -a on "solaris1" I see "solaris2" with the flag "U" but only right after I ping "solaris2" from "solaris1". Few seconds later, "solaris2" does not show on the arp cache.
Any suggestions?
It looks like the /etc/netmasks is missing an entry it should be more like
FILE: /etc/netmasks
192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
But this should default to a netmask of 255.255.0.0 so they should still be able to see each other.
The -U with arp is for unresolved, it's looking for a MAC address.
Some things to try :
ifconfig -a Check each card has the correct IP and netmask, also make sure there is an UP on the same line as the card name.
Try and ping there own IP's
Try and run snoop on each machine, this relys on there being network traffic that they can see.
Are there any "No response from ethernet network" errors in the /var/adm/messages
If all else looks OK are you sure your cabling is OK ?

Solaris 10 x86 X configuration for Dell D800 laptop
I installed solaris 10 on my Dell Latitude D800 laptop (it is listed on the BigAdmin HCL for Solaris 10). After installation resolution was low (probably 640x480). I searched web and found some info
on web for a Linux configuration and used that as
guideline to setup xorg.conf (using xorgconfig utility).
I used following setting :
Protocol ExplorerPS/2
Device /dev/kdmouse
Video 1024x768 @ 70 Hz
HorizSync 31.5-57.0
VertRefresh 50-70
With this setting, initial login screen doesn't fit the
display. If I checkin, server starts and display is OK,
but mouse control is erratic (can't properly place/move around mouse). The mouse suddenly
wraps around from middle of the screen.
I tried enabling/disabling emulate3 button,
virtual display, depth and limited max resolution to
1024x768 . None of this helps, very difficult to
start a window even hard to exit out X windows,
since mouse doesn't behave properly.
I also have a USB mouse (logitech optical mosue,
with a wheel : part no M-BJ58). USB mouse support
might already be there but not sure what the
protocol/device would be.
Does anyone have a sample xorg.conf file for
Dell D800 running Solaris 10 ? Any idea what I need
to do ?When logging in, log in to command line, su to root, then run /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig and answer the questions about your hardware.This will make an xorg.conf file and save it to /etc/X11.Try using a mouse setting of auto, I had to do this as IMPS/2 just sent my mouse haywire.

Solaris 10 x86 Install skips Network Configuration
I am trying to install solaris 10 x86 on a Dell Dimension and not able to get the network card to work. The network card is Ok as I tested it by installing Windows XP on the same box.
Ifconfig -a shows only le0.
What is the best way to enable the network card?
Any help is appreciated.I think u should do one thing.
1) Find out your name of your NIC card. ( Probably if u installed XP and seen which NIC is that)
2) Download drivers for your NIC by giving something like " download network drivers for solaris for ' your NIC' ".
3) If fortunately if u get drivers, copy it on ur solaris machine and install it by reading readme file of the drivers.
4) In readme file u will also find NIC name.
5) Then run command " ifconfig (card name e.g. bcme0) plumb
6) Now run "ifconfig -a" if u find ur card name there except le0 then congrats u have done it.
7) Move ahead with network config.
Note : - I am not sure but i think if ur machine is old then u will not get drivers for it.
Tell me if u get success........ -
Intel network interface with Solaris 10 x86
Hi,
I have been Googling all evening to try and find a solution to this, but here is the problem:
I have a PC built around an Asus P4C800-E system board, and I have Solaris 10 x86 01/2006 installed. I would like to get the Ethernet interface (Intel adaptor, running on a CSA bus) up and running - but for some reason I can't seem to get the driver to bind to the proper address (pci8086,1019 - from what I have been able to find out): It instead insists on binding to pci1043,80f7. Even though pci8086,1019 is listed in /etc/device_aliases, it won't play nice.
I know the NIC is working, and have tried it under other OSes (including Linux).
Although Solaris x86 "sees" something there, and the interface is plumbed (it can even tell when the network link is up or down), I can't get the interface to work - pings do not work, etc.
Is there a way I can convince the driver to bind to pci8086,1019 instead of pci1043,80f7?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Is 1043,80f7 the device's pci subsystem vendor and subsystem device id?
And 8086,1019 is the normal vendor/device id?
In this case everything would work as expected.
What is listed by "/usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v" for the ethernet controller?

Try to boot the kernel with various settings of the "acpi-user-options" variable,
to disable / enable ACPI. In previous Solaris x86 releases, when
something went wrong configuring an interrupt vector for a nic device,
the typical end result is a nic that is unable to receive incomming
packets. Maybe your Asus P4C800-E is still problematic with ACPI, with
S10 x86 1/2006, and needs the acpi-user-options workaround.
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/danasblog?anchor=configurin g_solaris_acpi_at_boot
To change the "acpi-user-options" variable, edit the grub boot command
line and edit the "multiboot" line, e.g. append "-Bacpi-user-options=0x2". -

Network configuration Solaris 10.
Hi all,
I got my solaris up and running with Audio and graphics working fine. Now I need to setup internet. I know the following details. Can anybody help me how to set this information. In linux I would, network configuration tool and on windows, I chang the TCP/IP properties. I don't know what to do in solaris.
I ahve the following information.
1) My IP Address
2) Subnext mask
3) DNS
4) Primary gateway
5) Sec. Gateway.If your IP is dynamic, Solaris should get you connected to web, without your intervention. Just make sure the DHCP client is running (it runs, by default). Also check this compatibility list: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/networking_all_results.page1.html
If everything looks good, you can try "inetmenu" tool to get a valid IP address. More information is available at OpenSolaris web site: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/inetmenu/ -
Install network card on solaris 8 x86 10/1
Hi
how can I install my netwoek card on solaris 8 x86
Thank a lotIn the same way you install any other card. Plug the card in
the slot., and install the appropriate solaris driver for that
network card. May be you want to detail the problem, if this
is not you are looking for.

Network cards for Solaris 8 x86
Which network cards are supported by Solaris 8 x86 ?
Thank you !
dorin.Are you considering any particular cards ?
I have had good luck with DEC21040 (10baseT) and DEC21140 (100baseT) cards
in Solaris 7 through Solaris 10 on x86.
The same can be said for 3Com 3C905C-TX cards.
Solaris 8x86 will recognize many chipsets natively,
and a number of third party developers have created working driver packages.
Most of their driver packages are free, but a few are not free.
Solaris 9 works with a few more, and Solaris 10 works with yet more adapters.
The Solaris 8x86 HCL list has the native cards.
This other Sun web page can direct you toward 3rd party sites. -
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,
JohnI 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. -
Fresh install of solaris 10 x86 hangs after 'Configuring devices'
Hi All,
I just received a new SuperMicro server with an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i controller. While trying to install Solaris 10 it hangs after "Configuring devices". I checked the LSI page and Solaris 10 is supported according to them. Any ideas how to proceed?
Fairly new to Solaris on x86 hardware.
The system has a Xeon X5690 processor in an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC motherboard. The motherboard documents claim that not disabling usb 2.0 can hang an install. I have disabled the usb 2.0 in the bios but the system still hangs. Booting it with the -kd and -kv options don't give much information.
Any help is appreciated. I might be returning these machines if I can't get this worked out.
Cheers,
Steve
Edited by: 967729 on Oct 25, 2012 3:51 PMSee if you can add the verbose option "-v" to the kernel boot options. I think you can get to the GRUB menu off the Solaris 10 install disk. That should tell you what device is causing the hang, or at least the last device that worked.
Also, can you try Solaris 11 and see if it gets past that point? A few years ago I has a similar issue with Solaris 10 on a Dell server. Solaris 11/OpenSolaris worked fine, though. IIRC I could work around the issue if I disabled the 2nd CPU - Solaris 10 had a problem bringing up the 2nd CPU on that Dell's CPU/MB config. -

Thanks all.
zhi,guys:
did you check you type of connecting of library?
 is it point to point or fc_loop ?
so you need to change fc_loop for fc_swithc 。

How to configure Transparent proxy on solaris 10, x86
Dear All,
I am trying to configure a transparent proxy on solaris 10, x86 system.
Can any body tell me the direction that i have to follow. I want to configure it through Sun java web proxy server 4.
Thanks and waiting for your kind reply.The thread was from quite some time. You mentioned that transparent proxy functionaliity was scheduled to be a part of one of the service packs. Have this happened yet? I cannot see it in the documentation nor i the admin GUI, but I might be looking in the wrong place.
I'm running version: 4.0.5 B04/18/2007 11:01

Solaris 10 x86 Installation Fails to Start
I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 05/08 on a Sony PCG-K115S laptop. The issue I am having is that the installation hangs after printing the copyright information and does not go any further. I get no error message or status as to what the installation is doing.
I downloaded the dvd iso from sun website and verified the md5 checksum before burning the dvd more than once but the issue occurred in both dvds.
The laptop currently has XP installed but there is 30GB of free unallocated/partitioned space on the disk.
Are there any options I can active to debug the installation and see where and why it is stalling.
Thank you,
F.
Edit 1:
After some forum reading I activated the Kernel Debugger and verbose mode:
The installation hangs after this line is printed out:
echi0 is /pci@0,0/pci104d,8175@c,2
loaded modules: [uppc neti ufs unix krtld uhci hook genunix ip usba specfs pcplusmp cpu.generic sctp arp]
Does this strike a cord with anybody??
Edit 2:
After some more reading and investigation, I read that this could be caused by my USB controller not being recognoized or some USB 2.0 issues with Solaris 10.
I have tried to deactive the usb system with the options "-B acpi_user_options=2" and "-B acpi_user_options=8" but with no luck. (I got about these on some some forum, not sure if they are correct).
Any help is appreciated!!
Thank you,
F.
Edited by: Fergus on Jul 6, 2008 2:22 AM
Edited by: Fergus on Jul 7, 2008 9:12 PMOK, got a little further. I entered the incorrect value for the acpi-user-options, the number should have been in hex.
So with options "-k -v -B acpi-user-options=0x8 -B install_media=cdrom" I get the install menu
1. Interactive
On selecting "1" for interactive, the install begins be halts quickly with an error:
NOTICE: rtls0 -- link down
ERROR: Unable to configure network interface
Exiting to shell.Is there any way to disable the configuration of the network interfaces?? I don't need them for installation...
Thank you for any help,

DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86
I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>

The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
192.168.1.1
I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
INTHOST
There is a hosts file, and it contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
192.168.1.3 INTHOST
There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
There is a nsswitch.conf file and other than the commented out lines, it contains:

Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
"route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
The only other command I've tried is:
"ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM
and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via
a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router,
and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear
router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
1. I can connect to my router login page using the
following URL:
http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect
to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping
yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet
enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into
the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I
haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86
at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.You can either copy nsswitch.dns to nsswitch.conf, or you can modify nsswitch.conf so that 'dns' is used for hostname lookups.
2. I've purchased a commercially available software
package and it requires a static ip address for this
Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll
stop working by design and require that I reacquire
the license file. When connecting through this
Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86
server into a specific ip address? (the ip address
floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off)
presently, and assume the Solaris box will too,
usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through
5>One method is setting the router so that the server's MAC address is tied to a specific IP.
Otherwise you can edit /etc/hostname.<interface> and place a static address there, forgoing DHCP services from the router. You may want the address to appear outside the router's DHCP range.
