Solaris on Intel Server

Dear all,
Will Open solaris 10 on Intel server given below.Customer wants to host SAP Enterprise portal on this server.Can you guide me to build a better solution???
Please follow the link below to know more about the server.
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/platforms/S7000FC4UR/index.htm

Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure. I can bet nobody will be, because it's rather company or software specific - you know, like I wrote before - in one company/software it'll do, in another won't be enough. I mean I can't give you precise answer: "yes, it's good" or "no, buy better".
What should you consider before buying a server?
1. Memory in connection with application to use. Will it be Oracle server or Web server? Probably the second one. But at the address you gave there's no amount of memory selected. Basing on your explanation, maybe 30 GB of RAM for the beginning will be ok.
2. Storage in connection with application to use. 100K users will surely require storage access, so you should think about some good and fast array for them. Regardless if it'll be Oracle or web server, the storage access for 100K of users will be a huge goal to achieve.
3. Processors - regardless for what, the more and faster is better.
Concluding and answering your question about drivers, if I am to choose, I'd prefer dedicated Sun Server for it. Whatever you'll choose (x86 or SPARC server), consider very quick storage array for such amount of users.

How do I create an Image of my Solaris 10 (Intel) server?

I'm currently running Solaris 10 (Intel) on a Dell PowerEdge 2650. I'd like to create an Image of the server now that I have all the extra software installed and configured correctly.
I used Symantec Ghost for my Window based servers, does anyone have any suggestions for the best method/software to do the same for my Solaris servers? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Using dd is about the most hideous thing to do since restoring the data will cause you much grief. The best approach would be to use the 'ufsdump' command. You can easily dump your slices into files, and perform either full or interactive restores.
Better yet; whenever you get a bigger disk you won't be wasting space (or risk corrupting data) through the use of dd. Next to data the dd command would also restore the partition table, boot sector, etc. And thats not very good if the disks differ too much.

Proper server sizing for SPARC/Solaris to Intel/R migrations

Is there any collateral available concerning proper server sizing for customers migrating from SPARC/Solaris to Intel/RHEL? I was just asked by our account team that is working with a very large custormer in the pharma space.
My initial knee jerk was to refer them to the OEM but thought I'd look around in these forums first.
My searches have not returned any good results yet.

Hi Mike
the public SAP SD-Benchmark homepage ([http://www.sap.com/benchmark/|http://www.sap.com/benchmark/] -> SD two-tier results) gives interesting but very indirect sizing hints. There are several SAP SD-Benchmarks on SPARC/Solaris. I picked some of them:

You'll probably have the hardware setup of your customer together with the system utilization. Check it with the Solaris/SPARC benchmarks on the public page and check for Intel Benchmarks as well. Make sure, that the SAP release is the same (with 2009 a new SAP release is mandatory for benchmarks -> numbers are not comparable to 100%).

How to connect W2k Desktop to Solaris(intel) Server

Hi there, I am new to Solaris, I have successfully installed Solaris 8 (intel). I also configured my NIC. What are procedures or H/W requirement to connect to this Solaris Sever from other machine running W2K thru telnet/ftp

Thnx for the responding Lee,
Here is how I try to connect Solaris(intel) to W2k machine.
On Solaris machine
1. I installed network driver from Realtek (as my network card is generic Realtek card)
2. Ran "sys-unconfig"
3. Attach the network adapter card to the system
4. At the OK prompt, type boot -r
5. Provided required information as prompted.
Here what happed if I connect Solaris machine to my DSL modem with network cable every thing goes fine.
But as soon as I connect Solaris machine and w2k machine and boot Solaris I get the following message
-Notice: RTLS start_board --Cable Connect Failed !!
I get this message even if I try above mentioned step once again while having my w2k and solaris machines connect to each other via network cable.
Could you figure out what could be the problem or What am I doing wrong
do I need to something on my w2k machine before I try to configure my NIC on my solaris maching
thnx

Is Solaris 9 Intel mature enough for serious usage?

Hello everyone,
I'm a Solaris newbie. I downloaded Solaris 8 Intel and installed a few times with and without success since Sun first released version 8 for free download. I had sucessfully installed Solaris 8 on Compaq Proliant Server and IBM Intel Xseries (with bad video) but failed on Dell PowerEdge (due to the lack of RAID and SCSI dirver or I didn't know where to get the drivers my hardware.
The reason I posed the question is that the System Requirement Note states the Solaris 9 x86 OE Customer Early Access software is not suitable for deployment on any production systems.
Is the current release of version 9 stable or final release? I'd rather not waste my bandwidth, time (It'd take me 3 days to download 3 iso images), CDs for beta releases.
Please advise me.
Thanks.
Trent

Depends on what you mean by "serious usage". Like right now, it provides a electronic place for me to dump my school work to instead of bringing disks or blank CDs.
Overall, it's an alright system. Though, Solaris 9 was a little more difficult to set up on my old computer (probably more because of the computer itself rather than the software.)
But, I did it. Installed Solaris 9 on 32 MB of RAM on a Pentium MMX 166.

Installation of Solaris 9 intel version in windows XP

I am very much interested in installation of Solaris 9 intel version in my PC which is windows XP version.
My PC Processor : AMD Athlon
I am not able to install solaris 9 in my PC.
Sun boot version is Sun OS secondary boot version 3.0.
During installation,i am going untill selection of type of installation. After selecting the Interactive type,the system is rebooting again without installing.
Select the type of installation you want to perform
(1) Solaris Interactive
(2) Custom Jumpstart
After selecting from above,the system is rebooting again without installing.
Please help me with the installation.

Are you trying to install Solaris 9 onto a server that is already running Windows XP and to keep Windows XP too?
You'll need to create a partition on which to install Solaris, - search for Solaris Windows Dual Boot on docs.sun.com for more information.

How to Install Solaris for Intel so that it boots off from a boot floppy?

Hi all,
Sorry to bother you with this one (I went through all documentations/manuals and could not find straight answers to following
specific questions):
I have one hard drive with 1st partition used by Windows XP and a second partition that's a blank FAT 32 (using Partition Magic)
I want to use for Solaris for Intel.
My very specific questions:
(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted
partition? I am asking you that because all manuals (except one) pretend that I can run my Solaris install on a blank Fat partition...
but I believe that documentation at multiboot.solaris-x86.org stresses that if the partition is not a blank UFS one, it wont install Solaris
(2)As you already know, some Oses like Linux or FreeBSD can be installed on a partition and be booted off a boot floppy.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.
BTW, I currently have Solaris 7 for Intel.
Thanks for the answers.

(1)That blank Fat32 partition: can I run the Solaris install over it ..or should I absolutely make sure that it's a blank UFS formatted You can install Solaris to that blank FAT32 drive but Solaris WILL convert it to UFS BEFORE doing the install. In other words, after the install it will be UFS and not FAT32 anymore.
So without that boot floppy, no trace of the OS. How can I do that with Solaris for Intel. I want my Solaris to boot off a boot floppy only.Not that I know of. Some people have reported booting Solaris off of a USB drive though.

Building mod_jk module on Solaris 10 (Intel Platform)

I am trying to build a mod_jk module on a Sun Blade 1500 (Solaris 10 Intel Platform). I downloaded the most recent tomcat connector I could find (jakarta-tomcat-connectors-current-src.tar.gz) and have attempted to build it, but I have received the following error:

Anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

I'm not familiar with what you are trying to accomplish,
I'm more of a hardware person, but...
Sun Blade 1500 systems are NOT x86 architecture.
They are UltraSPARC-IIIi systems.
Could that be contributing to what you see?

Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 Install problem

When I boot with the Install CD (Solaris 8 Software 1/2),
in the next screen of install:
Select the type of instllation you want yo perform:
1 Solaris Interactive
2 Custom Jumpstart
After selecting one of the two options it appears the next error:
Booting kernel/unix...
do_relocate: bad strndx 3275
do_relocations:/kernel/genunix do_relocated failed
Krtld:error during initial bad/link phase
P.D Im using the Solaris 8 Intel 10/00 booting from CD.
In fact, If I use the Solaris 8 Installation CD theres is no problem on booting the kernel from the CD.
Any Idea?
Thanks.

Kalpesh - do you work in support? Most users don't have the luxury
of spare media or systems to experiment with:-)
Perhaps the original poster could tell us the exact HW config so
others can offer suggestions?

Root password fails on auth to Solaris Management Console Server

I've setup Solaris 10 x86 on a VA linux 1220 server, all is good so far except when I try to create additional users. I am logged in as root, and the root password logs in to the CDE, but fails on authentication to Solaris Management Console Server when I try to use any of the management apps like computers and networks or Users. So I'm stalled at the point where I should be configuring the system. I have been very careful about typing in the password exactly as I use it in the login screen, but it never works in the System Management tools for This Computer. The password I'm using is 26 characters long, is it too long? Or is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks,
Brian

One of my famous guesses, but unless you changed the default password algorithm the maximum length of your password is 8 characters, when logging in on the console or desktop, anything typed after those eight characters will be ignored (unless this behaviour changed very recently).
Its possibly that SMC, and its server component WBEM does not ignore the extra characters, which could cause this behavior.
What happens if you try and login to SMC with the root user and only the first eight characters of your password?
Btw, if this was the problem i think there is a way to change the default crypto algorithm to something that supports more characters.
