Solaris system info

Hi,
I'm a developer who is new to Solaris.
I'm currently developing software that needs to interrogate the system for information about hardware setups. Specifically, I'm looking for system commands that yeild info on system busses - not the devices connected to them.
Can someone offer me some advice?

For starters you could try:
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag
This should show you buss types and speeds.

Gather System-info

Hi
I'm going to make a program that should run on all OS (Window, Solaris, Linux, HP-UX and AIX) and gather system-info like type of OS and HW-info (CPU, memory, disk etc). The program should be self-started and no requirements when it comes to if java is installed or not. I was thinking of bundle it with Java VM. I know about the System.getProperty("os.name"), but how do I gather HW-info? Do I have to make different scripts for the different OS, or can Java gather the info I need? How can I run one program that fit to all OS?
Hope someone can help me...

You'll have to write a JNI solution for every single OS.
Kind regards,
Levi

My apple tv is registering on my tv - i can see it on my system info screen but the apple tv doesn't show up, as well my imac doesn't seem to let me share - so i don't know whats wrong, why my apple tv isn't working

anybody able to help me with my setup for apple tv. i've followed the directions in the guide and my tv doesn't seem to register in part. it's weird because my tv system info identifies the apple tv but the screen never went black and it doesn't show anything, too, my imac doesn't seem to register the apple tv unit either

I would try connecting it to another tv to see if it works there if it does
then likely your tv can't handle the default resolution and you should lower it on the other tv
if not then you should connect it by usb to the computer and use itunes to restore it's firmware

Mismatch in amount of free space, between UI and System Info.

I'm running a 2011 15" MBP, with a 2 TB drive in it, and the UI is indicating that I have about 520 some odd GB left. System Info and Drive Genius indicate about 490 some odd.
I don't foresee this being a huge problem any time soon, but it's bugging me.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.

But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

OK to use fdisk/100% "SOLARIS System" partition for RAID6 Virtual Drive?

Solaris newb, here - I am configuring an x4270 with 16 135 GB drives. Basic approach is
D0, D1: RAID 1 (Boot volume, Solaris, Oracle Software)
D2-D13: RAID 6 (Oracle dB files)
D14, D15: global spares
After configuring the RAID's w/WebBIOS Utility, I am now trying to format/partition the RAID 6 Virtual Drive, which shows up as 1.327 TB 'Optimal' in the MegaRAID Storage Manager. After hunting around the ether for advice on how to do this, I came across http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1459/disksxadd-50.html#disksxadd-54639
"Creating a Solaris fdisk Partition That Spans the Entire Drive"
which is painfully simple: after 'format', just do an 'fdisk' and accept the default 100% "SOLARIS System" partition. After doing this, partition>print and prtvtoc show this:
partition> print

My question: is there anything inherently wrong with this default partitioning? Database is for OLTP & fairly small (<200 GB), with about 140 GB being LOB images.
Thanks,
Barry

First off, RAID-5 or RAID-6 is fine for database performance unless you have some REALLY strict and REALLY astronomical performance requirements. Requirements that someone with lots of money is willing to pay to meet.
You're running a single small x86 box with only onboard storage.
So no, you're not operating in that type of environment.
Here's what I'd do, based upon a whole lot of experience with Solaris 10 and not so much with Solaris 11, and also assuming this box is going to be around for a good long time as an Oracle DB server:
1. Don't use SVM for your boot drives. Use the onboard RAID controller to make TWO 2-disk RAID-1 mirrors. Use these for TWO ZFS root pools. Why two? Because if you use live upgrade to patch the OS, you want to create a new boot environment in a separate ZFS pool. If you use live upgrade to create new boot environments in the same ZFS pool, you wind up with a ZFS clone/snapshot hell. If you use two separate root pools, each new boot environment is a pool-to-pool actual copy that gets patched, so there are no ZFS snapshot/clone dependencies between the boot environments. Those snapshot/clone dependencies can cause a lot of problems with full disk drives if you wind up with a string of boot environments, and at best they can be a complete pain in the buttocks to clean up - assuming live upgrade doesn't mess up the clones/snapshots so badly you CAN'T clean them up (yeah, it has been known to do just that...). You do your first install with a ZFS rpool, then create rpool2 on the other mirror. Each time you do an lucreate to create a new boot environment from the current boot environment, create the new boot environment in the rpool that ISN'T the one the current boot environment is located in. That makes for ZERO ZFS dependencies between boot environments (at least in Solaris 10. Although with separate rpools, I don't see how that could change....), and there's no software written that can screw up a dependency that doesn't exist.
2. Create a third RAID-1 mirror either with the onboard RAID controller or ZFS, Use those two drives for home directories. You do NOT want home directories located on an rpool within a live upgrade boot environment. If you put home directories inside a live upgrade boot environment, 1) that can be a LOT of data that gets copied, 2) if you have to revert back to an old boot environment because the latest OS patches broke something, you'll also revert every user's home directory back.
3. That leaves you 10 drives for a RAID-6 array for DB data. 8 data and two parity. Perfect. I'd use the onboard RAID controller if it supports RAID-6, otherwise I'd use ZFS and not bother with SVM.
This also assumes you'd be pretty prompt in replacing any failed disks as there are no global spares. If there would be significant time before you'd even know you had a failed disk (days or weeks), let alone getting them replaced, I'd rethink that. In that case, if there were space I'd probably put home directories in the 10-disk RAID-6 drive, using ZFS to limit how big that ZFS file system could get. Then use the two drives freed up for spares.
But if you're prompt in recognizing failed drives and getting them replaced, you probably don't need to do that. Although you might want to just for peace of mind if you do have the space in the RAID-6 pool.
And yes, using four total disks for two OS root ZFS pools seems like overkill. But you'll be happy when four years from now you've had no problems doing OS upgrades when necessary, with minimal downtime needed for patching, and with the ability to revert to a previous OS patch level with a simple "luactivate BENAME; init 6" command.
If you have two or more of these machines set up like that in a cluster with Oracle data on shared storage you could then do OS patching and upgrades with zero database downtime. Use lucreate to make new boot envs on each cluster member, update each new boot env, then do rolling "luactivate BENAME; init 6" reboots on each server, moving on to the next server after the previous one is back and fully operational after its reboot to a new boot environment.

Is it possible to change settings in "Help System info"?

Is it possible to change Photoshop settings by clicking on Help and then System info? Since there is the possibility to type and the OK-button, I just started wondering.

All Help > System Info does is to report your system specifications so you can copy and paste them in the forums for troubleshooting purposes.
You can choose what to highlight and copy, but it does not change anything in your system like editing a configuration file would.

Issue is with OpenGL. System Info it allows Normal Mode but does not allow Advanced Mode.

Problems with Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended
I am trying to use the Repousse 3D feature in Photoshop CS5 Extended and have been unable to figure how I can get it to be an option using text. Can you explain how I do this, please?
I have also tried rasterizing the text first and that does not work. I have tried placing the image and them loading the selection and I still do not have the option of Repousse.
I believe the issue is with my OpenGL. In the System Info it allows Normal Mode but does not allow Advanced Mode. I spoke with the "Geek Squad" who advised that this is not an issue with my Mac but has something to do with the software.
Can someone please help me fix this? Thanks.

If you really want help you may have to provide relevant information about your OS, GPU, its VRAM …

Why can't I install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini? According to Antutu Benchmark system info, it has a ARM v7 CPU, so it should be compatible...

When I try to install Firefox for Android on my Motorola Defy Mini (XT320), Google Play Store tells me that my device is not compatible with Firefox for Android,so I cannot install it; according to Antutu Benchmark system info, the Motorola Defy Mini has an Arm v7 CPU installed, so it should be compatible with Firefox for Android...

Turns out it was a permissions issue, the files created by the certutil in the defaults folder got root only permissions given to them. I opened them up and it's working fine.

Anyone know when the 'Patch' or 'service pack' will be released for UDS 5? It doesn't work correctly on Solaris systems.

When trying to export code from older versions of forte and import the code into UDS 5, the imports don't work correctly on Sun server, Solaris system. Errors in the Windows. Seems to be a common problem, but haven't heard of any patch yet.

The SP1 for UDS 5 or 5.0.3 will be out in 2-3 weeks. I already have a beta copy of SP1 so I am sure you can request this if you open a case on your problem. I have never ran into the problem you are describing.

System info discrepancy with IPhoto

Hi Terence,
Two quick questions: I either rebuilt or restored my iphoto library a couple of months ago due to inability to read and received the error: may be in use by another application. This occured on a 2006 macbook pro that i upgraded to lion and also iphoto 11/9.3.
I dont remember if I rebuilt or restored (couple months gone by); however, it worked! So no issue there. Just wanted to give you a history as I believe it is related to my current inquiry.
Question 1: Further exploration shows that I have 114Gb when I do "Get Info" on the pictures folder in my home folder. Omnidisk sweep also says I have 115Gb in pictures.However, when I lookup storage in the system information it says that I only have 70Gb in photos. Why the discrepancy? Did I double my library size by doing the above rebuild/restore? Should I not worry about this as system info only shows 70Gb vs. 114Gb in pictures folder? I also trashed the ipod photo cache (read this in previous thread from you) and saw this will be no biggie as it will be rebuilt. This got me back 14Gb, but did nothing for the above discrepancy.
Question #2: since I did the above, i've noticed an enormous increase in HD usage in "other" category, I do not believe this was related to the above; however, since following you and some threads I turned off time machine and therefore solved the local backup hogging up HD problem. Since doing both things above, got at least 7Gb back-great, but believe I can still get more as I still have 45Gb of "other" in my system info.
Are there still mobile time machine backups looming in the background or do I have some picures from restore/rebuild? if so what is best way to delete this extra data w/out harming my photos?
Thanks so much for your time
waveone

With respect, neither of these questions are about iPhoto. They're about the Finder, and what it reports
However, when I lookup storage in the system information it says that I only have 70Gb in photos.
Where exactly are you looking that up?

Serial Number in System Info is Not Long Enough

I have deactivated CS5 from Computer A, noting the System Info before deactivating, which included a Serial Number.
When trying to re-install CS5 on Computer B, the Serial Number is not long enough.
This CS5 is a student edition.

did you get the serial number from Help>System Info, where it says "Serial Number"? because, if so, that's not the serial number. In fact, it's not even close. my actual serial number started with 1 while the "serial number" in the System Info started with 9.
when you deactivated from the old computer, did you check the box to erase the serial number from the computer upon activation? If not (i.e., the serial number is supposedly still on the old computer), i've heard that if you start a reinstall of CS5 on the old computer, it will fill in the serial number at that screen. I don't know this for sure because the OS on my old computer literally crashed in an irreparable way immediately after I deactivated CS5.
If it isn't a student edition (you must not have the box - the box would clearly say so), then the only way to get the serial number is to know the email address that it may have originally been installed under. Even that may not work, when I spoke to Adobe support (after waiting 3 hours on my digital phone), I gave then every email address that I could imagine having used and did not find the record of my initial installation.
Again, good luck

11 -- 11,1 Upgrade: pkg://solaris/system/library signature problems?

Hi all,
I have a vanilla 11 11/11 lab system (x64, in VirtualBox) that I've tried to upgrade to 11.1:
# uname -a
SunOS alpha 5.11 11.0 i86pc i386 i86pc
# pkg list entire
NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSION IFO
entire 0.5.11-0.175.0.0.0.2.0 i--
# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris origin online http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
It has full connectivity to the Internet, and I've tried pointing it to the public release repo, a local 11.1 repo that has had the update ISO injected into it, and with a single loopback repo pointing to only the upgrade ISO (sol-11_1-upgrade-repo.iso, md5 verified). In all 3 cases I get this at the first stage of the upgrade:
# pkg update
Creating Plan |
pkg update: A signature in pkg://solaris/system/[email protected],5.11-0.175.0.10.1.0.0:20120918T164707Z could not be verified for this reason:
The signature value did not match the expected value. Res: 0
The signature's hash is 235c7674d821032ae3eeda280c7837d1f1f4fdb5
I must be missing something simple, because I can't imagine a bad signature in the public or upgrade-ISO repos. Any ideas?
Thanks!

If possible, please file a support request for this issue through the My Oracle Support portal so that the details of the issue can be captured.
With that said, executing the following commands may provide a viable workaround:
pkg set-property signature-policy=ignore
pkg set-publisher --set-property signature-policy=ignore solaris
Once the above commands have been executed, attempt the pkg update again. If successful, then after rebooting to the new boot environment, reset the properties as follows:
pkg unset-property signature-policy
pkg set-publisher --unset-property signature-policy
