Solaris 8 (x86) on IBM xSeries 330

Hi,
has anybody experienced to run Solaris 8 on an IBM xSeries 330?
Is there any device driver for IBM ServeRAID 4L controllers under Solaris 8?
regards,
Oliver

  • Solaris 10 x86 on IBM x346

    Hi All,
    I've currently got Solaris 10 x86 installed successfully on an IBM x346 which is a 1 proc 3.06GHz HT Xeon supporting EM64T and 1GB ram.
    Everything works, except the most important device, network.
    It's got two bge's onboard, I had to add the line :
    bge "pci14e4,1659"
    to /etc/driver_aliases and rebooted.
    Okay so now I have /dev/bge0 and /dev/bge1, but neither of them will function.
    If I ifconfig plumb bge0 or bge1, that works but the ether address is all 0's.
    If I set it thus:
    ifconfig bge0 192.168.70.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ether 0:11:25:8c:3b:a2 up
    That takes (i get the ether address from the bios), however the output looks like this:
    bge0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
    inet 192.168.70.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.70.255
    ether 0:11:25:8c:3b:a2
    Note, no "RUNNING" keyword.
    If I make a hostname.bge0 and /etc/hosts entry it fails on reboot. I get an error message similar to this:
    WARNING bge0: send index -1: device didn't RESET!
    Its my understanding that these are 5721 (or something like that)... but they appear to be supported by the driver or perhaps only partially?
    Any ideas?

    OK I assumed the tape drive is scsi dat ... correct ?
    Is the main disk (boot disk) also scsi, if so do they use the same scsi controller ?
    If the boot drive is scsi and the tape drive is on the same controller we can asume the scsi controller is recognized but the tape drive is not.
    If there is a bios utility to access the scsi controller ... eg: adaptec uses <ctl> <a> check to see if the tape drive shows in the setup for the card if not the OS will never see it and you will have to troubleshoot from there.
    If the main disk is "not" scsi and the tape drive is, have you checked to see if the scsi controller is recognized and supported ?

    Obviously, the int10 module and its BIOS initialization fails. Should I try to disable int10? I use exactly the same xorg.conf as about a half year ago when X worked fine, even with 3D acceleration. (glxgears showed some 250 fps, which was amazing on a 6 years old *server*.)
    I saw lots of quite recent bug reports about crashing savage drivers on Gentoo and Debian bugzillas. Most people report crashes during X sessions or after logout. This is not the case. My X server crashes immediately, without even changing the graphics mode or showing anything. So I thought I could ask here. Perhaps someone will know how to fix it.
    I use an up-to-date ArchLinux installation with a 2.6.27.7 vanilla kernel. (The machine has more than 100 days of uptime.)

    What version of driver/xserver are you using? 1.6/2.6.3 from testing or older? If yuo are using testing one - bug is reported here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13651
    If you are using not testing version try to upgrade to testing or use repo with old xserver/driver from this topic: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66057

  • Installing solaris 10 on an IBM server with ServeRAID

    G'day,
    I want to install solaris 10 on my IBM xSeries eServer 235 and install starts fine but straight away it complains about not finding any HDDs and exits.
    I do have HDDs installed, three infact.
    They are SCSI on the IBM ServeRAID adaptor and i have used ServerGuide to reformat the disks but solaris just cannot find them.
    Why is this??
    thanks,
    jason

    I did some idgging and i pretty much concluded that
    we need serveRAID drivers for the OS be find the
    disks.I've got the same thoughts. Though Solaris 10 is listed in Release Notes for the latest IBM ServeRAID Support CD, and CD itself contains floppy images for what it thinks is a 'solaris drivers', but either those drivers doesn't work or there is wrong drivers. Doing as described in "Installing" readme doesn't give much result. BTW - it's initial release of ServeRAID Support CD where support for Solaris OS is offered.
    So all the OSs in the serveraid list are the oes that
    serveraid will provide a driver for automatically.If only you have had updated both Server BIOS and RAID Adapter firmwares as described in relative readme's.
    I am not sure what to do from here, sell the damn
    server i supose!Me too.
    I've got RHEL ES4 installed in RAID logical volumes, directly from OS installation distro, without using ServeRAID Support CD drivers. But I was supposed to use Solaris and not the RHEL.
    Funnily enough when i got it a heat sink fell off the
    northbridge or chipset, not sure which it is. A tad
    dodgy.

  • LUN has gone AWOL - Solaris 10 x86, Emulex HBAs, IBM DS8300

    We're setting up a test environment for our backup software, currently running on Windows, but targeted for Solaris. This is also a test of our first Solaris x86 deployment.
    * HP DL580 G5 server.
    * Solaris 10 x86 10/08 w/patch cluster from ~March 18th.
    * One dual port Emulex HBA
    * IBM DS8300 SAN
    When we first set this up, we could see the one LUN in format. After adding in the IBM Multipathing software, the LUN disappeared and the FC devices are shown as unconfigured in `cfgadm -al`. We removed the IBM multipathing software, but still cannot see the LUN. Did a reconfiguration reboot and all that.

    Ok, so after that detailed message, my SAN admin just realised he hadn't assigned any LUNs to the server. :D
    The LUN that we had seen previously was an artifact from an earlier configuration.

  • IBM xSeries ServerRAID-4Lx and Solaris 8

    1.
    It seems that Solaris 8 support IBM ServerRAID-3 according to the HCL.
    2.
    Now I have an IBM xSeries 240 and a ServerRAID-4Lx controller, is there any way to let Solaris 8 support the ServerRAID-4Lx controller?
    or where can I find the ServerRAID-4Lx's driver for Solaris 8?

  • Solaris 10 x86 5/08 audio driver for SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio

    Hello out there, I recently installed Solaris 10 x86 5/08 on my IBM ThinkPad T60 (2007-63U) and I'm really impressed how well it is working.
    The only thing I've found not working so far is the audio.
    I've installed the Solaris Audio Drivers 1.0 from:
    http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Hardware%20Drivers&tab=3&subcat=Audio%20Devices
    ...but it still is not recognizing the audio device.
    Everything else is working great (thank you Sun and the OpenSolaris Community!!!!!!!), so getting the audio working would be even better.
    Any pointers anyone has on what to look for on the system (e.g. in /var/adm/messages) or how to configure the audio to support the SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio would be greatly appreciated.

    ...well, I've tried building oss-v4.0-build1016-src-cddl but I haven't been able to get it to work.
    In preparation for the build, I did install Sun Studio 12 (from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/index.jsp ), patched it, and installed gawk-3.1.6 ( from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html ) and ran configure/make install as instructed which successfully completed.
    The following is what I get when executing ossdetect:
    ================================================================================
    rem_drv osscore
    rem_drv hdaudio
    rem_drv ossusb
    rem_drv sadasupport
    Driver (osscore) not installed.

    add_drv -m '* 0666 root sys' sadasupport
    /dev/mixer: No such file or directory
    ================================================================================
    To note, the Solaris 10 x86 5/08 installation I am running on is the full distribution +OEM.
    I also cannot find the "soundon" or "soundoff" scripts referenced in the OSS build instructions.
    Any pointers would be appreciated.

  • Solaris 10 x86:detect new hard drive

    hi.
    I'm on solaris 10 X86, and I added a hdd today. I can see it in the bios, but nothing appears in my solaris' files: vfstab, mnttab...etc.
    nevertheless, it's in the /var/adm/messages:
    genunix: [ID 846691 kern.info]   model IBM-DTLA-305020I tried touch /reconfigure;reboot and reboot -- -r, but still nothing.
    How could I make solaris detect my new hdd please?

    That's ok now.
    I saw my hdd with the format command. After:
    - partition option in the format command
    - created new fs (with newfs)
    - modified /etc/vfstab
    - mounted /<new fs>
    bye.

    what's your DHCP server configuration?
    type dhtadm -P and that will print the configuration of the dhcp table and all your macros.
    On another note, I also have a blade server (3Up CMU-4) that has USB keyboard and mouse, even if the interface is PS/2 (converted internally to USB). Solaris will not recognize the keyboard and mouse when installing or booting, but after the kernel is loaded I can use them OK. I do get the keyboard profile error and I think it is related to the fact that there is no PS/2 k/m enabled. The only way that I found that I could use the mouse in the graphical interface was to use a USB keyboard with a hub and connect a USB mouse to the keyboard, Anybody has any explanation for this behavior?

  • Solaris 10 x86/x64 on NVidia ION

    Hello guys,
    is it possible to install Solaris 10 x86/x64 on the NVidia ION-Platform? Are there any successful installations? For me it is important to know about the Point-of-view ION/330. This board I think is for a little home server a great performance/watt - system under 50W total power consumtion.
    I hope anybody can help me.

    Hi,
    I was successfully installed Solaris 10 on NVidia, and no troubles yet. But make sure to install latest version of Solaris i.e "Solaris 10 5/09", it'll install all drivers for Nvidia mother board by default. Otherwise you would have to face some problems to get the desktop.

  • Intall X3270 Terminal emulator on Solaris 10 x86

    Hi! I'm trying to install IBM 3270 Terminal Emulator from source code on solaris 10 x86. I had some problems when I run ./configure but was PATH's configuration. Now I'm trying to run make but at certain moment the folowing erro return:
    makeconv -d . -p icudt3l ibm-837_P100-2000.ucm
    sh: makeconv: not found
    *** Error code 1
    make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `icudt3l_ibm-837_P100-2000.cnv'
    I tried to find this 'makeconv' but I haven't found. Does anybody have some esperience with the instalation of X3270? Thank's a lot.

    problem 1 is that it's looking for ../../s0.. Which I
    managed to
    fake out by creating the dir in the same mount
    point.
    Problem 2 is that it can't find .tmp_proto, which I
    must
    concur with. I can't find that on any of the b72 cd
    images.
    So, the setup_install_server fails.This seems to be the problem when you try to setup an install
    server on a Solaris SPARC system for Solaris x86 clients, using
    the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10/Express CD media.
    There's a Solaris x86 UFS filesystem on slice 0 on the CD media,
    and it's supposed to be mounted on the "s0" mount point,
    otherwise setup_install_server won't work. On a Solaris x86 box,
    vold mounts it automatically for you: /cdrom/cdrom0/s2 is the
    mount point for the platform independant ISO9660 part of the CD
    media, /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 is the UFS root filesystem.
    Problem is that Solaris SPARC:
    - does not understand Solaris x86 disk labels
    - does not allow mounting x86 UFS filesystems
    (and vice versa).
    AFAIK, Solaris 9 DVD media does not have this problem. I
    guess the same will be true when Solaris 10 DVD media is
    available in a few months. On the DVD media there's enough
    free space to include an extra copy of the files in the ISO9660
    filesystem.

  • Solaris Management Console 2.1 in Solaris 10 x86 nv-b40 and nv-b42.....

    I had similar problems several months ago. I suspect this happens when host pc does not have floppy drive(or bios somehow misreports it) as it was in my case. Solaris 8 seems to work fine in the same environment, so I keep using it for now. Possible workaround might be to use DCA from Solaris 8: Installation of Sol9 started just fine after I entered Sol8 DCA and asked it to boot from Sol9 CD.
    Hope this problem will be fixed in subsequent Sol9 releases.

  • Installation problem of Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 10 x86

    Hi,
    I tried to install the Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 10 x86 and I got an error message shows: "cannot write to /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/jar/classes2.jar".checking the log it shows:
    Exception: IOException2
    and exception: copyGroupFromJar. I ignored the error but the installation failed.By the way, I was not asked to run root.sh during the installation. Can anyone kindly tell me how to make it?

    Here are some additional statements for 10g on Solaris 10g x86:
    1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
    2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
    3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
    4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
    5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

  • Solaris 9 x86 bug report - el_GR.ISO8859-7 & CDE

    I'm posting this article here, because I can't find any official Solaris 9 x86 bug report page. I hope the developers will notice it. I'm using Solaris 9 x86 (12/02), with the latest 9_x86_Recommended patch cluster installed, and support for Greek installed too.
    It seems there is some kind of problem, when trying to view text files with Greek (el_GR.ISO8859-7) characters, which were created under Windows. To be more specific:
    If I boot at CDE with language el_GR.ISO8859-7, and try to view a .txt file (just with a simple double click), which I have created under Windows, with Greek characters,
    the screen goes black, and the CDE login screen appears again (restarts). If I keep the Greek language or change the language to US English, I can boot at CDE again, with
    no problems. If I try "command line logging", the screen goes off - just like when the computer is powered off, and I can't do anything, (well, except pressing the reset button, that's the sure way). And if I use the "init 6" command, while being logged at CDE, from a terminal, the Graphical Desktop exits, and then, the screen goes off again (just like the computer is powered off), but finally the computer manages to restart.
    I'm using the Sun X server, NOT the XFree86 porting kit and I use the entry
    :0 Local local_uid@console nobody /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -dpsfileops
    in /usr/dt/config/Xservers file, to start the X server.
    Here is the $HOME_DIR/.dt/startlog file:

    I don't know if this is a bug or something, and I'm very curious about the cause. I didn't have much time for any other "experiments".
    Anyway, I hope this will help developers solve a problem -if it really exists-.
