Solaris 8 SFS 4.4.13 mpxio question

I have a 25k domain running Sol 8 02/04 with two qlc 2340 HBAs attached to two cisco 9509s getting a single lun from a netapp fas.
I installed the OS, added the latest recommended patch cluster, then installed SFS 4.4.13. The netapp lun is presented to each of the HBA paths, with the hope to use mpxio across all 4 HBA connections. I can see all the devices at this point, but I cannot get them under traffic manager control, they just have the typical dev paths and not the vhci paths you would expect.
I ran a cfgadm -c configure on them and luxadm comes back looking good. I am concerned that I might not have the correct entries in my kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf I am not booting from this lun, the system has a seperate local attached S3100.
So, in a nutshell, I have 4 paths ( 8 with the dual paths on the netapps pri/failover ) to a single lun, and want to bind them into one virtual path. Has anyone run in a similar config, and does anyone have an example of the files I need to edit that is specific to a "NETAPP LUN" device (section of vhci.conf etc) as reported by luxadm inquiry?

Update:
I shutdown the domain, pulled the boot disk, and replaced it with a clean drive. I built the system with Solaris 10 05/08 then patched with the latest reccomended patch cluster. My HBA is a Qlogic 2342 connecting to Cisco 9509 switches connected to a NetApp fas box (not 100% sure on the model atm, but very high end).
I configured the same lun I had on the solaris 8 box then mounted it up. All my data files are intact so I began some testing to see if the performance was any different.
I ran several timed sequential 10Gb writes and hit a max throughput of about 170Mb a sec on the lun. This is rather sad really, as it's not even hitting 2Gb FC speeds. I really punished the system with several parallel 10Gb writes, 10Gb reads, and 4k writes and reads. I never really achieved more than about 15k IOPs to the lun, and never exceded peak 190Mb a second. Under the heavy load the device queue really stacked up. The filesystem is UFS on the lun.
We're going to try some different lun setups on the netapp to increase spindle count, but I'm really not sure it will help in any way.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar setup? Perhaps changing settings in the qlogic driver conf, like frame size perhaps? How about any ideas to peg down the performance culprit (server, switch, storage)?

  • Solaris 10 x86  -  32/64 bit question

    I have a Sun X4500 running Solaris 10 x86. I am having problems installing a third party application because the vendor says their application only runs on the 64 bit platform. They say their application installer runs "uname -a" to determine the platform and our output says we are running 32 bit only. The application vendor went on the say that uname should indicate something like x86_64 or i386_64 to indicate that 64 bit support was installed. Our uname output is as follows:
    # uname -a
    SunOS storage1 5.10 Generic_125101-09 i86pc i386 i86pc
    The person who installed this server says he installed the 64 bit. I ran isainfo -v and got the following result which shows 64 bit was included at install.
    # isainfo -v
    64-bit amd64 applications
    sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8
    tsc fpu
    32-bit i386 applications
    sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8
    tsc fpu
    So my questions are: 1) Why doesn't uname indicate that 64 bit support was installed? and 2) What can I do after the fact to make uname indicate that 64 bit support really is installed so that I can get this application installed.

    Your uname output is already correct.
    You have Solaris on x86 architecture.
    That is all it will ever describe, no more and no less.
    Your isainfo output is correct.
    It confirms you are in an environment that can function on 32-bit and 64-bit "stuff" as needed.
    Your application vendor needs to re-think how their application confirms the environment and not just the underlying architecture.
    Perhaps they should not use uname
    but rather should parse from the more complex isainfo output.

  • Solaris 8 Download Install - Install CD Question

    Hello, I am new to Solaris. I do have experience with
    BSD/LINUX/SCO installations.
    I too have downloaded the zipped images from Sun. Actually 4 as I downloaded the install, v1, v2, docs and the additional pgm zipped image file.
    I checked each CD after buring with my LINUX system to make sure that the files are readable.
    All seems OK except I am not certain about the install CD. I have listed the details of the iso file that was unzipped (to Win) and then the contents of the rresulting CD.
    I am not certain if this is the way it should be as I would expect to see more.

  • Solaris 10 - x86 - migrating from Linux - question?

    Hi,
    We have a C++ application that uses libpcap to read packets as they arrive on the interface. We are trying to set up a more secure environment on Solaris 10 x86 by having this application run inside of a Solaris Container. The application runs properly when run on the machine outside of the container. However, when we try to start the application when inside the container, the call to pcap_open_live fails with the error "'/dev/iprb0:1: No such file or directory'".
    Is there a way in which we can set up the Solaris Container so that it can have access to the interfaces (devices) in /dev?

    No. Packet capturing is not working in non-global zones.
    You can not manipulate network interfaces in a non global zones at all. You can add some types of devices to the non global zones, but no network adapters.
    All ip filtering, packet capturing business can only be done in the global zone.
    regards,
    Imre

  • Slow FTP throughput using solaris 9 and max window size question

    I am working on a solution where we are trying to FTP at a high rate across the WAN on OC-12 links. We have been doing some TCP tuning with consideration to the Bandwidth Delay Product. Ping results in a 90ms RTT.
    I have been told that we will not see any increase in performance above window sizes of 64k without certain patches for Solaris 9. I know that high speed transfers are possible if tuned up correctly with other operating systems.
    Does anyone have any knowledge or experiences that they could share with me?
    Thanks

    You will have to format your disk with the help of the WRT350N and after that you will have creat Share with same "Storage" tab on the linksys router.

  • [HELP] Solaris SFS FCA driver/ the Solaris OneConnect UCNA NIC driver

    Can anybody help me please? I want to download Solaris driver for HBA emulex in [http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42c4317d|http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42c4317d] . However, since there was migration from sun to oracle, the file has been missing. Is anyone can help me provide it????

    I'm not sure what you find to be difficult.
    Your link to the driver:
    http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=42c4317d
    gets you to a download page.
    When you click on the download link, you are taken to a page that describes what you need to do:
    http://www.oracle.com/us/support/044752.html
    Quick click-to-download links are gone. Oracle requires you to have various levels of account privileges now. Sometimes it is a simple as a login account
    https://support.oracle.com/CSP/ui/flash.html
    but most of the time, you will now need to have a support contract if you hope to get anything.
    It's all now Oracle's products.
    That's their rules.
    Hint:
    Since it's an Emulex card, have you tried contacting Emulex?

  • Solaris 10 Update 5 release date question

    Did I miss the release of Update 5? I see it mentioned in docs.sun.com, but not in downloads.
    Or does anyone have availability date for it? It seems overdue timewise.

    As a practical point I doubt if will be sooner than a couple of months from now.
    For previous updates, in the couple of months before an update is released, kernel patches releases tend to dry up while all the engineers are focused on getting the update out.
    And a kernel patch was released quite recently..

  • Adding eSAN storage to a Solaris 9 box, with MPXIO and Qlogic HBAs

    I recently added a few SAN drives to a Solaris-9 box and enabled MPXIO. I noticed that after you install the qlc drivers and do a reconfigure boot you see two additional devices besides the disks. These additional devices are very small and present themselves as disks. See example below

  • 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>

    pci1148,5021, instance #0 (driver name: skge)
    pci1028,1ed
    pci1022,1100
    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:
    passwd: files
    group: files

    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:

  • 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!)

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.

    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

  • How do I map Hitachi SAN LUNs to Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g ASM?

    Hi all,
    I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
    for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
    My question is this:
    How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
    I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
    I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
    Thanks for your help!

    Yes that is correct however due to use of Solaris 10 MPxIO multipathing software that we are using with the Hitachi SAN it does present an extra layer of complexity and issues with ASM configuration. Which means that ASM may get confused when it attempts to find the new LUNs from the Hitachi SAN at the Solaris OS level. Oracle Metalink note 396015.1 states this issue.
    So my question is this: how to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter asm_diskstring to recognize the new Hitachi LUNs presented to the Solaris 10 host?
    Lets say that I have the following new LUNs:
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d1s6
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d2s6
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d3s6
    /dev/rdsk/c7t1d4s6
    Would I set the ASM initialization parameter for asm_diskstring to /dev/rdsk/c7t1d*s6
    as correct setting so that the ASM instance recognizes my new Hitachi LUNs? Solaris needs to map these LUNs using pseudo devices in the Solaris OS for ASM to recognize the new disks.
    How would I set this up in Solaris 10 with Sun multipathing (MPxIO) and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
    I want to get this right to avoid the dreaded ORA-15072 errors when creating a diskgroup with external redundancy for the Oracle 10g RAC ASM installation process.

  • Dual OS system booting issue - Solaris with Windows XP Pro

    Hi,
    I have installed Windows XP Professional with SP2 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 (Intel Core 2 Duo). I created partition as below,
    C: 25GB (Primary : Active) Installed XP
    D: 15GB (Primary) - Tried to install Solaris here
    F: 10GB (Primary)
    G: 20 GB (Logical)
    H: 20 GB (Logical)
    1. I tried to install Solaris 10, booted up system from DVD and selected Solaris. I got a message related to "License..." and it stopped right there, nothing showed up on screen after the message. I forced it to shutdown.
    2. Next, I tried with Solaris Express Developer edition DVD. I was able to proceed until "Install" option. After clicking "Install" button, it reported some account name(no account name found) setting problem and quitted from installation. It asked to remove the DVD manually. But I was not able to eject it, got stuck. I switched off it and removed DVD.
    When I bootup the system next time from HDD or CD or USB bootable backup, it showed blank screen and blinking cursor. I am not able to boot system with Win XP or USB Win Xp bootable. I am able to enter BIOS setup.
    Please let me know how to boot up Win Xp and install Solaris with it.

    with my little experience i find solaris 10 isn't able to install on sata hdd but with solaris express edition 5.11 i was able to install it on my lap top toshiba tecra and now i can boot with xp sp2 and solaris i hope this answer your question .

  • Solaris 8 on V215

    Is it possible to install Solaris 8 on a V215 server?
    I know it's not supported, but could it be done for test purposes?
    Can't try to install since I don't have the server right now.
    /F

    Follow rukbat's advice !
    The original poster should call their account rep, else Sun Sales directly for whatever info is needed.
    I agree that Sol-8 will never run on the hardware.
    Not supported means, won't run and not maybe break something.
    These versions lack the proper kernel, that's the reason it won't even boot.
    Last ship date (LSD) for Solaris 8 is February 16, 2007.
    This is a link to the description
    http://www.sun.com/service/eosl/solaris/solaris_vintage_eol_5.2005.xml
    I think when the V125 is shipped, they include a CD similiar to the OECD that you use to boot from and launch the Solaris 8 installation.
    So, my question still remains: Is it possible (without support from sun) to install solaris 8 on th V215?
    No, if the information from http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v215/specs.xml#anchor5 is accurate.
    These forums are only user-to-user, call Sun.

  • LONG FILE NAME SUPPORT IN SOLARIS 10 INTEL BASED

    Hi,
    I am facing the problem in solaris in which, i found that whenever I am copying any file directly from windows based PC to solaris the file name become automataically squizzes to 8+3 [dos file support]. In this case I am facing the problem in which I have to again rename file as actual then only it works properly.
    i.e the actual file name "abcdefghij.iope" is converted to "abcdefg_.iop"
    Can you confirm is there any setting to avoid this in solaris.

    You're seeing a limitation of Windows and your CD writing software within Windows, not of Solaris.
