Solaris Beginner NIC Questions...

I have been kicking around installing Solaris for a while, and i finally did it. Everything looks great and is working fine, except for my network card. I've done some research, and I am pretty sure I need to install the Tulip drivers for it, but being new to Solaris, I don't even know where to begin.
My network card is a CNet PRO200WL PCI Fast Ethernet Card with a Davicom DM9102 chipset. This was listed as compatable with the Tulip drivers, so i downloaded the Tulip drivers, popped them on a CD, and now have them on the desktop of my Solaris machine. I looked at the readme, but am still confused as to what exactly I need to do to install the driver and configure it with my network card.
Any help would be greatly appriciated. I love what I've heard about Solaris, and I am anxious to get it online to really see what it can do.
Also, on a similar note, after installation, I had the network connection lo0 set to 127.0.0.1 . I assume that lo0 is just a loopback when no network card is detected? Or is this what needs to be configured? Thanks again.

Do the Solaris dnet drivers work?
According to http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/devicelist/ they should work out of the box.
You should can check with a ifconfig dnet0 plumb.
If this works, an ifconfig -a shows your dnet0 device and all is well.
Put your hostname or IP into the +/etc/hostname.dnet0+(or create a empty file +/etc/dhcp.dnet0+ if you use DHCP) file and your Solaris should boot up with network enabled.
If the Solaris dnet driver doesn't work out of the box you could try the recommended steps described at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/techtips/assign_device_to_driver.jsp
If the above steps don't help, you could try a third party driver.
You didn't say what Tulip drivers you downloaded. Are they Masayuki Murayama's from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng?
I didn't try the tu drivers, but generally his drivers work very well (Using the nfo driver myself)
The Readme explains the required steps to configure the drivers pretty well.
In general you can check if your system works with Solaris quite easily with Sun's Device Detection Tool ( http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.html ). It should tell you if your hardware works out of the box, if there are third party drivers or if there are no drivers at all.
The lo devices is the loopback device and it is always configured, regardless if there are other NICs or network at all.

Beginner font questions

These are some beginner font questions if someone has the time/patience.
I've never paid much attention to fonts over the years, never installed
any other than those that might have come with applications. Early on,
15 years ago or so, I settled on Palatino and I've stayed with it for
most docs (Word 5.1a and now Word vX) and often for other apps (Safari,
Now).
I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.4) and I use Word vX.
Questions:
1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm using Palatino in
Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System folder for Classic.
It does not look like Palatino is in any other locations including MS
Office vX. Does that make sense?
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic, always available
font. Not so?
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which location is best.
4. And are the same fonts used for printing and screen? In other words
back in pre OS X days I thought some fonts came in screen versions and
print versions but my memory is hazy on that. Not only that.
Thank you for any education or links for info.

That's correct.

It seems to be out of favor.
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close
to that time, can I

location is best.
Yes, you can just put it in Users/username/Library/Fonts (or Library/Fonts for all users).

Solaris 10 NIC, what do you use?

Well my previous post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5258945 yeilded no comments other than a link to the approved hardware list http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/, thank you SolarisSAinPA for that little bit of info, but I am sill left with a NIC problem: anything that I can find for sale is either 300+ dollars or "repeported to work"--so my original question:
"Could anyone, or everyone, please chime in with what NIC's they have on their Solaris 10 x86 installs that work great for them, I'd prefer 1 Gb ethernet but 100Mb would be fine too"
I have a list of 6 that are reported to work that are in the less than 100 dollar bracket, but all are "reported to work", others would be well appreciated too:
D-Link DFE-530TX
DFE-550TX
NetGear FA 311
GA 311 (Gigabit)
3Com 3C905C
Realtek 8201CL PHY (on board 10/100 not supported)
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Well thank you all those of you that replied to my posts concerning a NIC for Solaris 10.
I am writing this using my new native Solaris 10 home system now and it is working marvelously.
I settled on the NetGear GA311 (1Gb) ethernet card (about 30 bucks at Staples), eventhough it was listed in the AHL as "reported to work". It works natively with the current build of Solaris 10 and couples to my NetGear 1Gb router at the rated 1Gb max speed--VERY VERY FAST!!!
I just did a sys-unconfig and when the machine rebooted it instantly recognised the NIC and configured it to 1Gb.
If you are looking to run Solaris 10 Native, I recomend the GA311, it's working great for me!

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!)
Thanks

Hello,
I'm wanting to install a windows system on my iMac. My question is can I install the new Windows 7 on my iMac. If so, can I purchase a Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - OEM? This is what I would buy from a site such as newegg. 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.
Thanks
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

New to Solaris - dual boot question

I have been using OpenSolaris on my ThinkPad T400s, dual booting with Windows 7. I want to give Solaris 10 a try. I've had it running in Virtual Box under OS X for a while, and I think I'm comfortable enough to try it out on my ThinkPad. Here is my question: will the Solaris Interactive installer let me install Solaris 10 in my existing OpenSolaris partition? And if it does, will it modify the bootloader so that I can still dual boot with Windows 7? I dont want to have to destroy partitions and re-install Windows. Once its on my hard drive, I can add myself as a user, install the Intel 5300 wireless driver, etc... Anyone have any other issues with Solaris 10 on a T400s?

Okay, well as usually happens, when I resort to help I end up solving my own problem.
In this case however, I still don't have a good grasp of what is going on.
I deleted the partition table with sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda and then used gdisk to recreate it, specifically setting the code for /dev/sda1 to ef00.
I then reformatted the FAT partition, leaving the other one alone. After mounting /dev/sda1 to /boot and reinstalling linux and grub, I ran:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=$esp --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
as described in the wiki, and
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
And it worked, including automatically detecting Windows on the other drive. Not sure what went wrong the first time but I'm glad to get it working.

New to Solaris (unix) - basic questions (please)

Hello!
I am completely new in Solaris World, and in fact in Linux too. All I can do (may be) is to walk throught dir tree. I have one big question and many many small ones. I've just installed Solaris 10 (writing this there), I am very happy and I don't know what to do. I hope you can give me some advice. Well, the big question is where to get information about how to do basic tasks I've been doing in windows?
The smaller questions (problems) is:
1) When I boot solaris it actually goes to console, and no window system (GNOME, CDE) appears. I've already been lucky for 2 times and I managed to launch windows by typing 'gnome-terminal', but it ofter respond with something and no window system lauched. Can I do so, that window system launched automatically?
2) I have primary partition on my hard drive with FAT 32 to share files with WindowsXP. Where can I see these files in Solaris (may be I should mount, how?)
3) How can I see files on my USB flash (how to mount)
4) Do I have to install drivers for my monitor(video card) in Solaris?
5) When I type 'man' its ok, but 'man ls' respond 'No manual entry for ls' (and all other commands. How to fix it?
6) Where I should store my files (doc, music etc. ). In windows its typically on different partitions (folders)
Thank you, and hoping for help.

Well you've a long road ahead. But heres a start:
Answer to Question 1) /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -eQuestion 2) If there are FAT32 driver in Solaris 10 (There weren't to my knowledge in Sol9 or earlier) you would need to mount them.
'man mount'
Question 3) would be similar to the answer to question 2, although you may be able to configure autofs for it 'man autofs'
Question 4) Not necessarily, but to get full functionality of your video card, yes - see manufacturers website
Question 5) Your MANPATH environment variable is bad OR you did not install them .... try 'pkginfo SUNWman' if it returns anything but not found try 'MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/sfw/man ;export MANPATH' You can add additionaly directories pointing to manpage install locations by adding a colon followed by the directory.. first off hit 'man man'
Question 6) Gnome will help once you get it going (see answer 1). Otherwise store it however you like, just don't let the root partition get full or you'll likely crash it.

10g RAC on Solaris 10 containers - Question on Approach

Hi All
To introduce a little, I am trying to set-up 10g RAC (active-active) on Solaris 10 Containers. For the disaster recovery site, I was considering an option for storage replication across datacenters. As I look at the situation where the database could be highly transactional, I wanted to go for this option hoping I might be better able to recover db on dr site if a failure happens and also alleviate some load from the prod servers. In this regard I have a set of questions for which if you could share your experiences, thoughts .. I am sure will help my preperation.
1 Is Oracle Supported on Solaris 10 containers? I believe it is not supported and ofcourse am getting into the certification matrix for this with oracle. Anyways, any work around tried out by anyone ?
2 Which product is better in terms of performance while co-existing and co-functioning with Oracle? Sun Cluster!!! Vertas Cluster!!! any other? I am unable to link to any recommendations from Oracle and hence trying to understand the generic or say standard approach to this.
3 I understand on Prod site, Oracle remains active-active on two node cluster while I will mirror my SAN between Prod site and DR site on a timely basis, while DB is up and running. This mirroring has to be only an asynchronous mirroring for some limitations. I am unsure about my recoverability if we need to switch over to DR. Will I be able to recover the Database to a point when my last mirroring has been completed successfully when I say the mirroring happened while the Prod db is up and running (hot backup type on disk level). Until now I used a cold backup for Storage replication and I was sure to bring it up there. This hot backup kind of attempt is raising unrest and questions about the abilities.. :-(
4 I also have come across a term called federated databases? Is it similar to what I am trying to achieve here? Storage level replocation across data centres?
I know it takes some time to get to the end of it and finally implement it, but your inputs will certainly help me get things straight before I hit this first click. Thanks for all your inputs, advices, suggestions. :-)
Regards!

According to Oracle "Both Oracle 9i R2 and 10g R2 databases have been certified to run in a Solaris Container."
There are references here :- http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5397695
"Oracle databases (RAC and non-RAC) have been certified to run in a global Solaris 10 Container"
What storage are you using ? (filesystem, ASM ?) Personally I prefer ASM now, but it does depend on the storage platform and backup strategy.
What backup infrastructure do you have ? RMAN backup directly to tape is better than file copy.
For DR standby purposes I would use Dataguard instead of disk mirroring / storage replication. It is much more flexible (e.g can switch direction of replication, do incremental backups from the standby etc).
I would use CRS instead of VCS. CRS is built for the job, and integrates with netca, dbca, etc for service management, and also integrates with Dataguard Broker for standby switchover.

Solaris 10 Patch Question

Assuming two identical systems installed side-by-side
and operated by the same owner. Both machines are
registered with Sun Microsystems and possess valid
licenses for Solaris 10. The owner has determined the
same Software Update (formerly called a �patch�) is
required for both systems. The SWU (Software Update)
is only available from Sun Microsystems. Only one of
the systems is covered by a Sun Service Plan that
provides access to the SWU, the other is a
self-maintained system without any service plans
whatsoever.
     System A     System B
Valid Solaris 10 License     yes     yes
Active Sun Service Plan     yes     no
Service Method     Sun Service Plan     Self Maintained
Questions:
Can SWU obtained from Sun for System A be used on
System B?
a.     if the SWU is only made available with a Sun Online
ID + Service Plan? (In other words, a �restricted� or
�behind-the-firewall� SWU)
b.     If the SWU is only made available with a Sun Online
ID? (In other words, a �public� SWU, such as a
hardware driver update).
c.     Will Sun accept time and materials POs for software
troubleshooting?
d.     Will Sun accept time and materials POs for hardware
troubleshooting?

No, it doesn't have an OBP, instead it uses a BIOS, which is quite different from the OBP.
Normally; doing init 0 on a x86 box will just bring you to a state where it offers to reboot.
On x86 you also have the "Configuration Assistant", which does some tasks which would be performed by the OBP on the SPARC architecture.

Solaris 10 NIC Configuration Partly Works; Manual ifconfig changes lost.

I have installed 11/06 Solaris 10 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. It has a 3Com3C905FX NIC and the mother board NIC. I turned the mother board NIC on in the BIOS because the installation didn't find the 905FX NIC. When I run

Nowhere do I see what the contents of /etc/hostname.e1000g0 are. What is in that file?
And I really don't understand why e1000g0 would ever have a loopback address like 127.0.0.1. There's lots of reasons why it might not get any address, but a loopback is confusing.

Solaris 10 installation - questions

Hello,
I'm going to install Solaris 06/06 on my PC. I have some questions about the installation and steps before the installation itself.
First of all, summarize of what I have:
PC checked by device detection tool and all necessary drivers that are not shipped with Solaris
160 GB hard disk - 100GB of NTFS partition with Windows XP, 60GB of "untouched" space - no filesystem, no created partition (is it ok this way? or rather create partition with raw data?)
I've read many discussion boards and web pages related to topic of coexistence of win XP and Solaris on one disk. It seems that XP and Solaris can work on one hard disk without problems.
However, I must admit little fears of possible problems - i.e. threat of corrupting of the access to ntfs partition or the ntfs partition itself. I'll backup all important data, that's without question, however losting of that partition would be very annoying. I have no possibility to make exact disk image.
I've noticed on the forums that grub, a solaris boot loader, sometimes doesn't include win xp partition in its menu. It could be added there, however I've noticed too that some people had big problems with this as they were unable to boot win xp from grup even though they added windows item to grup. This is the thing I fear most - I think that the correct setting during installation cannot corrupt other (in my case Win XP) partition but by installing grub, there is (according the posts on message boards) the chance of possible problems of cutting out Win XP from booting.
Could this be prevented or repaired by the backup of master boot record and in case the problems with booting will occur replace MBR modified by Solaris installation by the backup to back to the state when XP is booting automatically? If so, could you recommend any tool for MBR backup?
Thanks for any comments or advices.

Hello!
First of all,i don`t know any tool that u could use to make a backup of your MBR.
Anyway,dual booting is a problem that i have had in the past. In my opinion, Solaris and Windows will never run without problems (from the Windows point of view). I have tryied many versions of Unix/Linux toghether with Win XP (on the same system);there`s always some kind of problems...sooner or later.
Last week i have installed Solaris 10 toghether with Win XP on a PIII Compaq Deskpro.No problem at the begining.After 1 day, the WIn OS crashed (the PC blocks when i start WinXP).
So, in my opinion, if u want to have a fully functional Solaris system, install it on a separate PC,even if it`s an older one (for example, i have Solaris installed on a PIII/500 MHz/512 RAM bought with 50 euro - depends what u want to do with your Solaris system).
Good luck!
Best regards,
N.

Beginner's Questions

As a really new beginner for BEx, I would like to ask you guys some basic questions.
1) I have a problem with designing a query to serve our requirement.
Fiscal Year       Accounting Num.        Amount          AVG(Amount)
2006                10001                         100                250
2006                10002                         200                250
2006                10003                         300                250
2006                10004                         400                250
                       Total(AVG)                  250
2006                10005                         300                350
2006                10006                         400                350
                       Total(AVG)                  350
What I want is the forth column, which is equal to the average value of amount in the third column. For example, in group 1 (Accounting Number 10001 - 10004), the average of 100 - 400 is 250. In the forth column, I want to get 250.How can I do this?
2) How can I load a hierarchy from a text file in BI 7.0. I just see the option to maintain the hierarchy in BI, but I can't find the way to load the hierarchy from a text file.

Hi,
1.Create a formula or CKF which is equal to Amount. name it AVG(Amount).
right click AVG(Amount) in the query definition.select properties.select calculate single value as 'Average of all values<>0'.
i thnk this shld work!

Dhanya.

Beginner SSL questions

2.) When I log in using valid credentials the url becomes http://xxxx.xxxxx.net:443/myContext/myServlet
and the page I expect to display doesnt. It only displays this:
3.) None of my stylesheets are being used.
When I go to http://xxxx.xxxxx.net/myContext my login index.jsp page displays perfectly and I am able to log in and do see the expected page.
Apparently I missed a step somewhere or just the obvious but how do I get my index.jsp to use SSL. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Are you intentionally leaving a connector for port 80 open? If you don't need anything to be non-ssl enabled then you should comment out the port 80 connector and just have a connector for port 443. You should then be able to access any of your stuff via https://whatever/whathaveyou...
[edit]
this is an obvious question but you didn't mention it so just in case - you did create a self signed server certificate and import that into the keystore right? (or use a commercial certificate and import that and the CA chain into your trust store)

Solaris Memory Allocation Questions

Hi,
I am a Columbia University engineering graduate student doing research on Solaris 10 Operating System. I just have 3 quick questions that I was unable to find answers for on the Sun Documentation website. If any1 can help me answer these questions or point me to resources that do I would really appreciate it. The questions are as follows.
1. Does Solaris 10 provide developers with methods to ask for memory that only programs running with a certain security key or privilege can access?
2. Also, can develops ask for private memory? I understand that during write on shared memories, copy-on-write will generate a copy of the shared memory page and make that private to the process but I am not sure if there are ways to allocate private memory at the beginning.
3. Does Solaris 10 provide developers with methods to ask for memory that is fixed in memory and not pageable? I understand that by asking for ISM then the pages are locked in memory. But I was wondering if there are methods that an application can call that does this without having to share memory.
Thanks,
Larry Chen

Solaris 10 changed everything to be based on process privileges (see the output of "ppriv -vp" for a list). It's not clear to me on a brief inspection which limits access to a processes address space but that is the mechanism.

Well, technically you get it as soon as you reference it -- the call to malloc just generates the mappings, the page fault when you access it instantiates the page in RAM.

After that you can call "mlock"

ACS 5.4 Multiple NIC Questions

I've read that 5.4 includes support for multiple NICs (appliance and VM). My question is what can these NICs be used for? I know one must be a dedicated management link, and the other three support TACACS/RADIUS. Does this mean that each NIC can have a separate IP address and thus act as a separate AAA target or are the links just used for aggregation?

Hi Chris,
If you're running 1121 with ACS 5.4 and looking at Table 4-4     ACS 5.4 Functional Interface Distribution Among Network Interfaces. then the answer is that you may set up any interface for tacacs/radius authentication. However, management interface should be setup for gig0 only. Currently, it doesn't support NIC teaming/bonding. However, it sometimes create issues with replication.

In case you are running 3415 appliance, the only difference is that it supports reduduncy but that only applies for Cisco Integrated Management Interface (CIMC)
step 4. Set the NIC mode to your choice for which ports to use to access the CIMC for server management

Hope this helps.

Cb54g Wireless NIC Questions

I've got a few questions about the CB54g Wireless Cardbus NIC:
1) I frequently loose my wireless connection in Windows XP (Pro, SP1 and SP2beta) for no apparent reason. I've transfered control over the connection to the software that comes on the CD and disabled the Wireless Zero service, and this seems to solve the problem, but as a side-effect it takes at least a minute from the time my I can first see my wallpaper on startup until I can actually do *anything* on my system (even open the Start Menu). Is there another workaround for this problem?
2) I'm also getting in to the FreeBSD scene, but I've yet to find any drivers for this NIC for that OS. Does anyone know if there are/will be any drivers developed for this NIC on FreeBSD, or if there are any compatible drivers?

I have the exact same problem with my CB54G . I also frequently loose my wireless connection. I have a fujitsu-siemens amilo m-6500 with windows XP and SP1. I dont understand what can be the problem...I also have the last update for the card drivers. If anyone in msi (or not) could help i would be very happy.
Thankx for all anyway,
Leba
ps: i'm using a vpn to connect and its the vpn that simply disconnects...
