Solaris 9 compatble hardware

Hi,
I am planning to buy a new motherboard to install a solaris 9 OS. When i look to HCL list in sun website, i found the montherboard GA-81PE1000 is compatible to install but which is not available in the market.
when i enquired in the Computer shop The shop person advised that the new release of motherboard from gigabyte GA-81PE1000-G only available so before i want to buy this mother i would like to confirm is it a compatible motherboard to install Solaris 9 or not ?
could any one guide me regarding this issue, if you are not sure about this is there any other motherboards from gigabyte which are avaialable in the market and compatible to install solaris 9.
thanks in advance
harry

hi
before you search for the motherboard, i would like to clarify that solaris 9 search for x86 based chipset not any specific make motherboard, i have installed solaris 9 on almost all the motheboard and all the x86 based cpu like amd and cyrix.
try installing on any of the old computer having 96 mb of ram and 32 bit processor even celeron will do.

Solaris 10 & Hardware Support

I understand that Linux depends on the communities support to develop drivers for hardware that isn't supported by the manufacturer. How does Solaris stand with support from manufactures, and support from Sun or popular manufactures. I'd like to install Solaris 10 on my x86 desktop, but if it can't support my nForce video chip then there isn't much of a question that I would stick with Linux.
Is it possible, specifically for an nForce video chip, to get just video that doesn't necessarily take advantage of graphic acceleration?
Since nVidia is partnered with Sun to bring some of their high-end cards to Solaris, should we expect to see some of their other hardware supported also?
I'm curious about other hardware as well, such as Ethernet cards, or sound cards. Is it really feasable to run Solaris on a desktop PC, or does it need to be dedicated Solaris machine that was built from the ground up with support in mind because supported hardware is so scarce?

The answer isn't easy to find, because the breadth of the
problem is wide.
As I write, I'm on an Athlon-64 running a NVidia nForce3
250 Gb chipset. Does it work? Yes. Does everything work?
No. There are some parts of the chipset which don't have
Solaris drivers yet. Unfortunately, NVidia also keeps their
driver source close and even for Linux they don't release
the source code. In my case, neither the network nor audio
drivers are available. It may be difficult to get the Solaris drivers
ported unless NVidia does the work. AFAICT, that is not
part of the Sun/NVidia announcement, though I'd be happy
to be proved wrong.
A number of sound cards do have drivers. On this machine,
the NVidia audio driver is not recognized, but I have an iMic
USB audio dongle that seems to work well.
For Ethernet, I have an old Rhine-based card (D-Link). A
driver for this, including the needed 64-bit amd64 driver :-),
is a available from
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
Some other vendors offer Solaris drivers directly, so you'll
find some have more support than others.

T2000 -Solaris 10 - Hardware Raid - Hot Spare

Hi,
i am setting up a t2000 server with Solaris 10. I have booted to single user mode through the network and am setting up the mirroring. (ie #raidctl -c c0t0d0 c0t1d0).
This has worked fine.
How does one go about setting up a disk to be a hot spare to this mirror. I found some docs on running raidctl -a set -g c0t3d0 c0t0d0 but the -a option no longer seems to be valid????
Is it possible to set up a hot spare like this?
Thanks,
Darren

The hardware raid supports either mirrors or stripes. I don't believe hot spare is an option. Typically you would use a hot spare for a raid 5 configuration. Check out this doc page for more info:

Newbie to Solaris - which hardware to use?

We have just taken on a new service contract which includes a number of Sun Workstations running Solaris 9. As a tech support engineer who doesn't know Solaris, I need to teach myself the basics pretty quickly. I need to install Solaris 9 on a laptop - should I install Solaris for x86 onto one of our old Dell's, or is there any reason to buy a SPARC processor based laptop? Any advice gratefully received.

If you already have Solaris 9 x86 CD/DVD inside your company, there's no need to buy a Sparc laptop. Otherwise, these CD/DVDs are no longer available for download, you would need to download either the latest Solaris 10 (which I would recommend for you), and keep in mind, that that might contain newer things, which won't or aren't available on Solaris 9. Or even really be forced to buy a Sparc based system. I don't know, if there still are sparc-based laptops available...

Need help trying to determine what hardware I can run for develpoment testing purposes for Solaris Sparc 11.2

I have a large client that is looking to upgrade from Solaris 5.9 up to Solaris 11.2. I need to find some hardware I can run in house to do development, run tests and run setups/configuration on a 64 bit Sparc machine. I know Solaris 11 dropped support for some of the UltraSPARC II, III, IV series. However I need to have a setup in shop locally for me to work on. Any ideas on if buy a sun blade workstation or another workstation that I could get Solaris 11.2 installed? I don't necessarily need the GUI desktop but the text/curses based setup is all I need. Any ideas on where to go? Seems like the cutoff from Solaris 10 to 11 was a pretty big one regarding legacy support of older hardware. Also I know there are x86 distributions of Solaris 11.2 but I have 3rd party software that is compiled on Sparc.

Have you seen the HCL?
I write most of my labs on Virtual Box, and also use a few older 5440s and some new M10s when I want to shoe LDOMs.

Hardware compability - Solaris on an old Intel x86 mobo

Hello, I've searched the site for a while for a hardware compability list without any success. I'm planning to test Solaris on my old web server at home (using Ubuntu at the moment) but don't know how compatible it is.
The "server" (or PC used as server) has the following specs:
Intel SE440BX Motherboard with a P3 CPU at 450 Mhz
--> http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/SE440BX/index.htm
An ATI Rage Family GPU
A no-name NIC (Works fine with Ubuntu)I don't know anything about Solaris and hardware compability, so please supply me with external links if you have anything useful to share with me :)
EDIT: I found a HCL, but no entry for my motherboard. But all informations ablout those older systems are appreciated.
Sincerely,
Linus Waerner, �rebro, Sweden

My 3COM 3C905-TX card was also recognized natively.
As for your question on "is it worth it" ?
You may have to make your own judgement call for that.
I happen to prefer it, and feel it runs better on older hardware
than the more famous named Linux distributions.
(by comparison, FC5 on the same 800MHz cpu and same 384MB of RAM was horribly sluggish)
So, go ahead and install Solaris. Run it for a few days.
You can always wipe the disk and start over.
My 440BX box is not a production box.
I have a removable disk bay and four or five hard drives, each with different OS's.
I use the system as a guinea pig testbox, such as
does this application conflict with such-and-such
or
can I run this program in that old OS

Solaris 8 4/01 Installation rebooting

I am trying to install the 4/01 copy of Solaris for the intel and it keeps rebooting the system in the middle of the install. It gets past the point where it is scanning the system and then proceeds to load the kernel. It then reports an error and reboots. I am trying to see the error but it happens fast.

Intall Solaris 8 on Toshiba Portege 3440CT fail

I want to install Solaris 8 intel on Toshiba Portege 3440CT. it has one USB floppy drive and one PCMCIA CD-ROM.
When I use Solais 8 boot disk to boot the system. it just only show "SunOS..." on the top left hand conner and have no response. Should anyone know what happen to it?
If it is related to USB device or fail to startup PCMCIA CD-ROM, can I create a Install server on another PC to use network installation?
If the laptop PC is not possible to install Solaris, how I can verify it? Since Solaris 8 Hardware compatilable List do not have Laptop section, Did sun provide a PC utility to test whether my laptop is Solaris compatiable?

Hi,
Problem with PERC RAID controller card.
You try to install the driver for AIC 7899 and Dell PERC RAID controller card. In dell computers, they have dell PERC RAID controller driver for Solaris 7 version. They don't have the driver for solaris 8 version.
You can download driver for SCSI AIC 7899 from this URL:
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.html?cat=/Product/ASC-39160&filekey=u160_slrs_v121_dd.img.Z
Then you check with your local dell support provider for PERC RAID controller driver for solaris 7 and solaris 8.
Thanks.
revert back.

Solaris Cluster 3.3 on VMware ESX 4.1

Hi there,
I am trying to setup Solaris Cluster 3.3 on Vmware ESX 4.1
My first question is: Is there anyone out there setted up Solaris Cluster on vmware accross boxes?
My tools:
Solaris 10 U9 x64
Solaris Cluster 3.3
Vmware ESX 4.1
HP DL 380 G7
HP P2000 Fibre Channel Storage
When I try to setup cluster, just next next next, it completes successfully. It reboots the second node first and then the itself.
After second node comes up on login screen, ping stops after 5 sec. Same either nodes!
I am trying to understand why it does that? I did every possibility to complete this job. Setted up quorum as RDM from VMware. Solaris has direct access to quorum disk now.
I am new to Solaris and I am having the errors below. If someone would like to help me it will be much appreciated!
Please explain me in more details i am new bee in solaris :) Thanks!
I need help especially on error: /proc fails to mount periodically during reboots.
Here is the error messages. Is there any one out there setted up Solaris Cluster on ESX 4.1 ?

@TimRead
Hi, thanks for reply,
I have already followed the steps also on your links but no joy on this.
What i noticed here is cluster seems to be buggy. Because i have tried to install cluster 3.3 on physical hardware and it gave me excat same error messages! interesting isnt it?
Please see errors below that I got from on top of VMware and also on Solaris Physical hardware installation:
ERROR1:
Comment: I have installed different memories all the time. It keeps sayying that silly error.
problem_statement : *Node has insufficient physical memory.
<analysis>5120 MB of memory is installed on this node.The current release of Solaris Cluster requires a minimum of 1024 MB of physical memory in each node. Additional memory required for various Data Services.</analysis>
<recommendations>Add enough memory to this node to bring its physical memory up to the minimum required level.
ERROR2
Comment: Despite rmt directory is there I gor error below on cluster check
<problem_statement>The /dev/rmt directory is missing.
<analysis>The /dev/rmt directory is missing on this Solaris Cluster node. The current implementation of scdidadm(1M) relies on the existence of /dev/rmt to successfully execute 'scdidadm -r'. The /dev/rmt directory is created by Solaris regardless of the existence of the actual nderlying devices. The expectation is that the user will never delete this directory. During a reconfiguration reboot to add new disk devices, if /dev/rmt is missing scdidadm will not create the new devices and will exit with the following error: 'ERR in discover_paths : Cannot walk /dev/rmt' The absence of /dev/rmt might prevent a failover to this node and result in a cluster outage. See BugIDs 4368956 and 4783135 for more details.</analysis>
ERROR3
Comment: All Nics have different MAC address though, also I have done what it suggests me. No joy here as well!
<problem_statement>Cluster node (3.1 or later) OpenBoot Prom (OBP) has local-mac-address? variable set to 'false'.
<analysis>The local-mac-address? variable must be set to 'true.' Proper operation of the public networks depends on each interface having a different MAC address.</analysis>
<recommendations>Change the local-mac-address? variable to true: 1) From the OBP (ok> prompt): ok> setenv local-mac-address? true ok> reset 2) Or as root: # /usr/sbin/eeprom local-mac-address?=true # init 0 ok> reset</recommendations>

Comment: No comment on this, i have done what it says no joy...
<problem_statement>/proc fails to mount periodically during reboots.
<analysis>Something is trying to access /proc before it is normally mounted during the boot process. This can cause /proc not to mount. If /proc isn't mounted, some Solaris Cluster daemons might fail on startup, which can cause the node to panic. The following lines were found:</analysis>

At some stage there are problems with creation of a new state...
I remember some time ago (Solaris 2.8) there where problems like that with ipfilter, but now ipfilter included in Solaris distribution, hardware tested and so on...
New reincarnation of a problem?
Somebody has similar problems with the software x86 Solaris 10?
Thanks, Roman Gnatenko (rvg at co.ru)

Hi. I've never seen anything like this, and it seems to be something which
the JDBC module is going to be an innocent victim of, rather than a
contributor to... Your best course is to open an official support case.

Strange performance issue with 3510/3511 SAM-FS disk cache

Hi there!
I'm running a small SAM-QFS environment and have some strange performance issue on the disk storage part, which somebody here might be able to explain.
Configuration: one 3510, dual controller, RAID-5 9+1, one hot spare and one disk not configured for whatever reason. The R5 logical drive hosts a 150GB LUN for SAM-QFS metadata (mm in SAM-FS speak) and a 1TB LUN for data (mr in SAM-FS speak). Further, there are two small LUNs (2GB, 100GB) for some other purpose. Those two LUNs have nearly no I/O. All disks are SUN146G. Host connection is 2GBit, multipathing enabled and working.
Then the disk cache became too small, and the customer added a 3511 expansion unit with SUN300G disks. One logical drive is a RAID-1, 1+1, used for NetBackup catalog. The other is a RAID-5, 8+1, providing two LUNs: 260GB SAM-FS metadata (mm) and 1.999TB SAM-FS data (mr).
For SAM-FS, the LUNs form two file systems: one "residing" in the 3510, the other "residing" in the 3511 expansion. Cabling is according to the manual and checked several times by several independant people. Operating system is Solaris 10, hardware is a V880.
The problem we observe: SAM-FS I/O on LUNs on disks inside the 3510 is fine. With iostat, I see 100MB/s read and 50MB/s write at the same time. On the SAM-FS file system which is running on the two LUNs in the 3511, the limit seems to be at 40MB/s read/write. Both SAM-FS file systems are configured the same in regards of block size.
In case I have activity on both SAM-FS file systems, I see 100MB/s+ on the LUN running inside the controller shelf and another 40MB/s on the disk runnin in the 3511 expansion chassis. So, the controller is easily capable of handling 150MB/s.
Cache settings in the 3510 controller are default I think (wasn't installed by me), batteries are fine.
Is this 40MB/s we experience a limitation by the expansion shelf? Don't think so. Anybody has any ideas on this? What parameters to check or to change? Any hint appreciated. I can also provide further details if needed. Thank you.
wolfgang

SUN300G disks sound like 300GB FC disks.
Depending on how many files are in the SAMFS file system, sharing the mm and mr devices on the same RAID array can be a pretty horrible idea. In my opinion and experience, it's almost always better to NEVER put more than one LUN on a RAID array. Period. Putting more than one LUN on an array results in IO contention on that array. And large, unnaturally configured (9+1? Why?) RAID arrays will have problems from the start.
What are the block sizes used on the RAID arrays? It wouldn't surprise me to see that the RAID array on the expansion tray has a very large block size. Larger block sizes are, in general, not better. Especially for SAMFS metadata - which IIRC is something like 8k or 16k blocks.
I suspect what is happening is most of the metadata updates are going to the mm device on the new array, contending with the IO operations on the file data.
How much space is left on each mm device? What does "iostat -sndxz 2" show when you're having the IO problems?

Whole Root / Sparse Root fusion // lofs problem

Hello everybody!
Actually i am getting probz with installations of software in sparse-root zones.
Especially caused by the lofs-techniques regarding /usr , /usr/bin and /usr/local, required for linking back the executables to the home folders of users in Sparse-Root zone.
are there any workarounds to obtain a functional setup for this cases or override the lofs-problem for linkage .
Read only after install to /usr/bin is o.k. but for Software install in Sparse Root it`s needed.
Encountered this problems with Oracle and DirX installs.
Whole-root zone obligation and the inherit disk usage would be unacceptable.
Would be running out of disk space.
Thanks for Replies !

Is there any option setable to temporarily override the "ro" lofs for an inherited-pkg-dir?
-fs-special?
The Application i want to install is DIRX for LDAP management.
It links the executable from /usr/bin to /export/home/ldap before finising the Installation.
The Installation is cacelled by the installer if the links cant be set.
After install there is no problem with "ro" access to the executable..
If i had to do all zones as whole-root zones i would use Xen on an Intel or amd based machine.
Sparse-root zone model is posible with Xen, but implies a lot of work.
The decision to solaris was due to low performance of Linux Kernels on Sparc compared with a native Solaris, the hardware of a Fire 880 was built for.
Any HowTo`s to a Workaround, e.g. a comand string ?( 4meNxDummy? ;) )
