Solaris 8 Intel - Licence question

Hi there,
My name is Long Phan from Australia. I recently got Sun Solaris 8 from SUN (USA) binary free licence (?!). I tried to install following things:
* Install SUN OS (Intel) - OK!
* Applied Security & Patches - OK!
* Setup SAMBA - OK!
* Setup Webmin - OK!
* Setup DNS - OK!
then when I tried to setup WEB (ver 2.0.40) after reboot. I CAN'T:
* ping
* nslookup
* Surf the AnswerBook2
* Share files (SAMBA) from my Windows pc
I tried to re-install couple of times but I GOT the same problem. Please anybody helps me with this; I have following questions:
* Do I need any licence for my SUN Solaris 8 (Intel) before I can setup anything else?
* If I do then where I can get it?
* If it's not the case then what did I do wrong?? I can ping, copy files from Windows (SAMBA), surf the AnswerBook 2 from my Windows, nslookup zone BUT when reboot I CAN'T DO anything (ping, nslookup, suft the AnswerBook 2)
Please helps & thanks

Hi!
I also had the same exact problem during the install. The only way that I could procede was to tell it that I didn't want to install networking. Now when I boot, it tries to load the elx0 driver (for my 3Com 3c509b) and brings the following message, "SIOCSLIFFFLAGS cannot assigm requested address." I have checked the Irq/IO setting in the hardware configuration agent and everything seems to be correct. To top it all off, once I logon if I enter "ifconfig elx0 192.168.1.2 up" then everything works fine. I tried to forceload the elx0 module in /etc/system to see if the module just wasn't loaded early enough but this did not help. Any ideas of what else I should check?
TIA

RFC SDK support on solaris-intel?

I have some questions about the C SAP RFC SDK. I cannot seem to find a complete list of supported UNIX platforms.
What is the current version of the C RFC SDK?
Is it supported on the solaris intel platform?
I notice that the dynamic version of the RFC library (rfc32.dll) is installed with SAP Netweaver on Windows. Is the equivalent dynamically loaded library (i.e. librfc.so) always included with a SAP installation on UNIX as well? Does this mean that the static libraries provided in the RFC SDK are no longer required to build a client RFC application, since a client application can dynamically load the run-time library instead?

We don't certify Solaris on NT.
          You can find this information on platform support page.

OUD in Solaris Intel Architecture

ODSM Deployment on amd64 i386
I am a Solaris Intel user interested in getting users to authenticate to Local OUD.
I need assistance using OUD to add users via cli ( I am new to OUD )
in "netmgr" I already sees and able to authenticate Oracle cn=Directory Manager.
Base DN : Oracle Content
Question: How do I add test users to a fully functional OUD running in Solaris 11.2 and Oracle12c with iPlanet installed.
Currently have no ODSM GUI in working status Due to RCU/Solaris Intel Incompativility issues. (Investigating)
Comments are welcomed.

Hello,
OUD ships with LDAP clis to add/modify users:
Assuming OUD instance is created in <instance>,
go to <instance>OUD/bin
Here is an example to create user u1 with the ldapmodify command:
./ldapmodify -a -D "cn=directory manager" -w <password> -p <ldap port>
dn: uid=u1,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
uid: u1
objectclass: inetorgperson
cn: u1
sn: u1
userPasswword: u1
If you have many users to create, you can use the ldapmodify command in batch mode
with the -f option . The -f option is foillowed by a LDIF file containing entries to be created.
More about ldapmodify command at ldapmodify - Oracle Fusion Middleware Command-Line Usage Guide for Oracle Unified Directory

Porting PCI board from Solaris Intel to Sparc

Our own PCI board which has been working on Solaris(8) Intel for years does not seem to be recognized by Solaris(8) for Sparc. At the prom level a show-devs shows the device ie: pci1234,5678 but booting with 'boot -rswv' does not. Two questions:
1. Is the process of scanning hardward and making entries in the /devices directory documented anywhere that I might access?
2. What might be different between Solaris-Intel and Solaris-Sparc when dealing with PCI devices?
The platform for our testing is an AXE-300 3 slot PCI Ultra Sparc.
Thanks in advance
[email protected]
(781)-482-1215

The 'prtconf -pv' command does show the presence of our board
pretty much matching what is displayed when running prtconf on
the Intel system with the exception that the Intel results under the
'compatible:' header shows a series of 32 bit hex values while the
Sparc output for 'compatible:' shows "'pci1234,5678' +
'pciclass,ff0000'".
Furthermore running:
truss -f -a add_drv -v -m '* 0666 root bin' -i '"pci1234,5678"' pixgen
seems to show the point of failure occurring in 'devfsadm -v -i pixgen'
as follows: (note I've cleaned up the output a bit for readability).
open("/devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo", O_RDONLY) = 5
ioctl(5, 0xDF81, 0xFFBEF8F8) Err#6 ENXIO
close(5)
devfsadm then returns an exit code=11 and reports that the driver
was 'successfully added ... but failed to attach'.
I added a number of trace statements to each entry point in the
driver using the cmn_err function and compiled for Intel and Sparc
and verified that the driver continued to work on Intel and indeed
showed each routine being entered but I never got even one line
of output on the Sparc. That presents a couple of questions.
1. I'm using an old compiler: Sun's CC workshop Compiler 4.2 30
Oct 1996 on both platforms. The Sparc platform is a sun4m (ss-10).
Is it possible that this old compiler is not generating proper code for
the sun4u platform? The compiler and linker switches are:
cc -xstrconst -DKERNEL -DDEBUG -DPIXGENDEBUG=255 -c driver.c
ld -r -m -o pixgen driver.o
pkgadd installs the driver as /usr/kernel/drv/pixgen
2. The driver installation using pkgadd places the following line in
/etc/devlink.tab: 'type=io;minor=pixgen0 pixgen'. Is this
possibly an issue?
Any help/insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Oracle 9i in solaris Intel

The newest version for Solaris Intel is 8.1.7. As far as I now this version is the last on this platform/OS.

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.

Hi
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.
Thanks in Advance

Solaris Intel to Solaris SunSparc Portability

Hi. Is anyone out there aware of any code portability issues for
a software application that is written on Solaris Intel and subsequently
deployed on a Solaris Sun Sparc workstation ?
Does the code need to be tuned ?
If needed, what is the effort required ?
Thanks.
Aran

The source code is the same for both versions of Solaris. As long as
your code doesn't make any ISA or endian assumptions, your port
should be nothing more than a recompile.

Can you install Oracle 9i on Solaris Intel ? 32 / 64 bit

Hello dear people,
I'm trying to install the 9i Database for Sun SPARC (32-bit) on an Intel machine with Solaris 8 running. I followed all steps of the installation documentation, but when I try to execute the runInstaller programm, I get always the following error:
Syntax error at row 1: '(' unexpected.
Can you tell me, which is actually the terminal Release for Intel Solaris? I were very pleased.
Thanks,

You should follow the doc that you found for solaris, the thing is that the patches and fixes for this that you would found are for the PARISC server, if you can get the same patches and fixes for your intel server, use them and if you can't start the installation process, try to run installer like runInstaller.sh -ignoresysprereqs.

OpenMP on Solaris/Intel

Hi,
Will OpenMP be supported on Solaris/Intel?
Erling

c> Has there been a time set on when this configuration will be tested
c> and supported?
I'm afraid this is unlikely to happen at all. As far as I know,
Solaris on Intel doesn't represent a large enough target market to be
worth porting to. What little market share it ever gained is being
rapidly eaten by Linux.

64-bit compilation problem on Solaris/Intel: 7th argument not initialized

I have a problem when compiling a program on a 64-bit Solaris Intel server. The problem is that when calling a function, if the 7th or next arguments are long arguments and I pass uncasted small integers values to it, the first 32-bit of my values are uninitialized.
I have isolated the problem in the following source code.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>
void fnc1(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)
long a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h;
printf("%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld,%ld\n", a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h);
void main()
fnc1(0x10101010deadbeef,0x20202020deadbeef,
     0x30303030deadbeef,0x40404040deadbeef,
     0x50505050deadbeef,0x60606060deadbeef,
     0x70707070deadbeef,0x80808080deadbeef);
fnc1(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8);
}I compile it using the following command:
cc src1.c -g $* -m64 -o prog1.exeWhen I run the resulting .exe, I get the following result:
1157442768875667183,2314885534015405807,3472328299155144431,4629771064294883055,5787213829434621679,6944656594574360303,8102099359714098927,-9187201948855714065
1,2,3,4,5,6,8102099355978170375,-9187201952591642616The problem is that the first 32 bits of my 7th and 8th arguments are not initialized when the function is called.
I know that in the following cases, I do not have the problem:
- if I cast the arguments;
- on other platforms (AIX, SunOs/Sparc, HPUX) or if I compile in 32-bit;
- if I use optimization (-xO1 to -xO5) ;
- if I prototype my function at the beginning of my source (void fnc1(long a,long b,long c,long d,long e,long f,long g,long h););
I have over 1,000,000 lines of existing code to support. I am afraid using optimization would have other impacts and for now, I cast the arguments as problems are reported. Would there be a better way to handle this? By using a compiler switch?
Thanks in advance.

Alas this is very difficult to ensure, particularly given the lack of a run-time type checking mechanism.In theory, proper use of the ellipsis function would be documented, and programmers would read and follow the documentation. In practice, some programmers don't read the instructions, or forget them, or someone ill-advisedly changes the way the function works so that existing calls stop working. Variable-argument functions are a fragile mechanism. (I program almost exclusively in C++, which has combinations of features such that variable-argument functions are rarely, if ever, needed.)
Can one even assume that the value of the NULL macro is correct? Never, because the C standard allows a variety of definitions for NULL, and implementations vary. Passing NULL to an ellipsis is a recipe for failure. Don't do it.

Suppose you have function FI with an ellipsis that expects to get int arguments, and another FL that expects to get long arguments. When you port the code to a 64-bit environment, function FL fails. If you use the -signext option, function FI will fail.Ah, but for us FL never fails, since the compilers always widen the arguments. I fail to see the circumstance in which widening would cause FI to fail, could you please give a more specific example?
void FI(int count, ...)
    va_list va;
    va_start(va, count);
    int t;
    while( --count >= 0) {
       t = va_arg(va, int);
       do_something(t);
}Function FI expects to extract 32-bit int arguments. If compiled with -signext, the calling function will pass 64-bit arguments. Perhaps the -signext option also causes the 32-bit extraction to be changed to a 64-bit extraction. I have no personal experience with the option, and I'm not in a position where I can experiment right now.

Thanks Bhrigu.
I have checked this site and i also downloaded the version 8.1.7 for solaris. when i try to run the ./runInstaller file it gives me a error as "Syntax error on line number 1" and returns back to $prompt. I was told that this is the version only for Sun Sparc Solaris. There is no 8i version for Solaris 8 on intel platform.
Is that right ??.. or do U have some more information on that. probably anybody has tried that or so ??..

I having been trying to create an oracle database on my Solaris
Intel box for a while now but the process always fails when its
about to create the sample database. It fails with an error:
ORA-03113 - unexpected end of channel reached.
And then I keep getting an "Oracle not available" message.
I am not doing anything extraordinary, just the normal
installation.
My guess is that there maybe something wrong in the gerenared
pfile. what dow you think?
