Solaris x86: learning tool for Solaris SPARC?

I would like to know to what extent Sol x86 knowledge and experience would translate over to Sol SPARC. Not in a *NIX general sense, but Solaris specific.  The company I work for sells backup devices including virtual tape library devices, and it is my job to test them with various operating systems and backup software.  We have a Sol SPARC server solely for that purpose but it's still not something I can muck around with.  Something I definitely need experience with is setting up and configuring tape libraries.  So, specifically in this regard, but also in general, how would Sol x86 experience carry over to Sol SPARC?  Thanks in advance.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Most commands are identical. Performance analysis, loading all are similar. Tape interaction, creation of tape devices is going to be pretty much the same.
The differences show up a lot at the hardware level. HBAs aren't usually the same, many drivers (and their quirks) are different between the architectures. If you're debugging connectivity to a tape library, those differences may be critical.
So you can't get as close as you may want, but I'll bet it would still be helpful.

    We suspect it to be a memory leak issue. Are there memory leak debugging tools for sol10.
    we were unable to use dbx as we got the following error.
    (dbx) check -memuse
    dbx: Incompatible libthread.so/libthread_db.so found. Error checking disabled
    See `help rtc mt' for details.
    Also dbx's 'check -access' option is not supported for X86.
    Waiting eagerly for any support/guidance.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem on Solaris 10 sparc. The problem seems to relate to symbolic links with
    long names not being extracted correctly from the tar file (resulting in @LongLink files popping
    up around the place). If you use the .zip source file then the build goes fine.

  • Solaris Security Toolkit (JASS) for Solaris 11?

    Has anyone heard anything about an updated version of this for Solaris 11?
    Or I'm curious if anyone has tried running the Solaris 10 version on 11?
    Thanks

    Don't run the Solaris 10 version on Solaris 11, it will not work correctly.
    Many aspects of what SST did on Solaris 10 are part of Solaris 11. If there are things you need that aren't covered, I'd suggest opening a support case.

  • Where can i find network registrar tool for solaris.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to find Network Registrar tool to install on my solaris server. i tried on Internet to find, but i am not able to find the soucre file.
    Anyone from you know where will i find the soucre file to download?
    thanking you in advance
    Yogesh.

    You will find drivers in Solaris for Ethernet controllers supported on your SB100:
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems/SunBlade100/components.html#Ethernet
    Your 2 choices are to contact 3 Com for a Solaris SPARC 32/64 bit driver or search the web to see if some intrepid soul has created one. Otherwise you will not get this to work.

    GCC 4.x is only available with Solaris 11.
    Non-Oracle GCC 4 packages are available for example on the below websites :
    - OpenCSW
    - SunFreeware

    But, you can also try to build it : https://blogs.oracle.com/timc/entry/building_gcc_4_x_on

  • Solaris on Intel/apps for solaris compatibility

    Does anyone know how to run apps available for Sun solaris (sparc verion) to run on Intel solaris? I tried to install sybase client s/w on Intel solaris and obviously it bombed. Is there any kind of emulators or anything that would make this work?
    Thanks

    Well written code (e.g. avoiding hardware specifics, byte-order differences etc) is intended to be readily portable from Solaris on Intel to Solaris Sparc.
    The Forte tools from Sun are recommended, and a Try&Buy version can be had from the Sun download center. Sun also provides the Gnu tools on the companion CD shipped with Solaris media kits or at sunfreeware.com
    Have Fun!

  • Can't see Solaris X86/SPARC Agents for 12c

    I've ran the manual updates and automatic updates and the only agents i can see in the repository are still the linux x86 and X64 agents. Is there any way to manually load the agent to the repository so we can start testing the deployment?
    I see the sparc/x86 agents are available for manual download on OTN

    Go to Setup > Extensibility > Self Update. From the Self Update page, look in the Agent Software folder, you should see information showing that agents for Solaris x86 (64-bit) and Solaris Sparc (64bit) are available.
    If necessary, see the following doc for information on using Self Update:

  • What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?

    What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?
    I'm trying to debug a kernel panic under Solaris 10 on sparcv9. I tried the SUNWscat 4.1 package but it core dumps on Solaris 10. I found a blog entry that described the problem and mentioned a version 4.2 fix. That was from May 2006, but I have not found any update sense then. Was 4.2 ever released or is their an alternative tool for Solaris 10 that I can use?

    One problem is that those of us who develop Solaris CAT do so as a "hobby" as it's not part of our actual jobs. But he good news is that management gave us the time to get a release out and 5.0 is now available here . We're now planning 6 month releases so we don't have a 5 year delay between updates.
    BTW, the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool supports Solaris 10, OpenSolaris/Solaris Nevada, sparc, and x86/x64.
    There are so many enhancements and bug fixes that I'd recommend reading the release notes (SUNWscat/docs/index.html).

  • Support for JRockit for WebLogic 10.3 in Solaris x86

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install JRockit Mission Control 3.1.2 in a Solaris 10 x86 platform.
    For Solaris Spark I know there is a special distribution.. For Solaris 10 x86 I am trying to install the generic linux version.
    When I try to install the jrmc-3.1.2-1.6.0-linux-ia32.bin I get the following error:
    jrmc-3.1.2-1.6.0: Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2
    I also try with 64bit edition of the jrockit mission Control but I get a similar error but trying to find the /lib64/ld-linux.so.2.
    Is Solaris 10 x86 supported? Or at least, is there a workaround to install it?
    I find some site talking about JRockit for Solaris Spark, but seems to me that Solaris x86 is not supported...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    The DTD used in "web.xml" should not cause any issue ...though it's the OLD "web.xml"...Please try to run the Following command to Generate the New Deployment Descriptors from the Existing Application:
    Step1). Open a Command Window and Run "setWLSEnv.sh" or "setWLSEnv.cmd".
    Step2). In the Command Prompt move to the Current Directory where you have placed your Application and then Run the Following Command
    java weblogic.DDConverter  -d NewDDs  jamagent.war
    Here Above Command Will read the "jamagent.war" War archive and then It will generate the New DDs in "NewDDs" directory...Which we need to replace with the OLD DDs present in our WebApplication..
    Thanks

  • License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

    I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
    The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
    I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
    I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
    Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

    When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?

    Oracle Instant Client was a "feature" introduced with Oracle 10g. There is no 9i version.
    Code that links with Oracle 9i libraries should be able to be linked with Instant Client 10gR2.
    The resulting application will be able to connect to databases from Oracle 8.1 onwards.
