SunCluster 3.2/Solaris 10 u6 troubles

Just hit a bug [GLD interfaces unexpectedly send VLAN tagged packets|http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6797256] when luupgraded the SC 3.2 from s10 u4 to s10 u6. After the upgrade cluster private interconnects of three T2000 nodes could not come up.
Please be aware of this.
[+my blog post+|http://napobo3.blogspot.com/2009/02/sc-32-solaris-10-u6-e1000g.html]

Hi,
Thanks for finding out the reason. I also got such a situation and discovered a work around (M5000 + e1000g & nxge interfaces for Heartbeats).
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5358861&tstart=30
I tried to reproduced the symptom on a different cluster (V440 + ce interface for Heartbeats), but without success.
Now I understand.

RAC on SunCluster 3.2 Solaris 10

Hello all,
I am testing a new system build on two new servers with Solaris 10 running SunCluster 3.2. Oracle RAC and database 10.2.0.2.0 has been installed without any issue. Basic Oracle RAC tests were performed successfully. ie database balance, failover, failback. SunCluster was installed by Sun technicians and they didn´t get any issue installing it.
The system is still in testing but waiting to the outcome of next problem:
The system has four NICs each node 1 for public service, 1 for internal service (backups and monitor) and the last 2 for the cluster interconnect in an active/standby configuration. Everything works fine until we started to test the interconnect fail over. Whenever we unplug any of the interconnect cables the instance in node2 dies and this node reboot.
I have tried different combinations of configurations, even deleting all the private from the OCR to 'force' the RAC to use the public interface as interconnect and still getting the same behavior.
Has anyone faced a similar situation before???
If so could you please post examples of cluster configuration either RAC and SunCluster and how was this addressed and solved???
There is a SR currently open in support. Any successfully outcome I will let you know.
Thanks.

Here is another problem I am getting in the preproduction system.
I am testing to move the OCR to a new location and following the steps in the METALINK note 452486.1 I get an error on step 6:
# ./ocrconfig -replace ocr /dev/md/oracle-set/rdsk/d665
PROT-1: Failed to initialize ocrconfig
and the error reported in the $ORACLE_CRS_HOME/log/client/:
-bash-3.00$ more ocrconfig_27033.log
ocrconfig_27033.log: Permission denied
It seems some permissions on the raw partitions not being set correctly.
These are the current permissions assigned to vote (d601,d602 and d603) and ocr (d607 and d608) disks. The test I am trying to perform is to move the current OCR (d607) to a new raw partition (d665).

This text is comming from METALINK note 220970.1:
The Oracle Real Application Clusters install guide is correct. It describes the PRE INSTALL ownership/permission requirements for ocr and voting disk. This step is needed to make sure that the CRS install succeeds. Please don't use those values to determine what the ownership/permmission should be POST INSTALL. The root script will change the ownership/permission of ocr and voting disk as part of install. The POST INSTALL permissions will end up being : OCR - root:oinstall - 640 Voting Disk - oracle:oinstall - 644
From this note it seems to me permissions are correctly setup.
Can anyone clarify this???
Thanks.

Solaris installation trouble

I am new to Solaris. I downloaded the 4 CD set from Sun (dated 1/06) and installed it over another Solaris install (I had a DVD dated 3/05).
Now JDS doesn't work at all, it either segfaults or crashes the whole system (I don't know where to find the crash dumps or core files). Also, a lot of the software I selected during the install didn't seem to be on the CDs. After the 4th CD it asked me for a "Software Companion CD", which I didn't have. So then it didn't seem to install emacs, etc.
I'm assuming the JDS crash has something to do with the video driver. The logs say something about a fbdev missing. How do I get back to the install to install the "OEM" portion to get more drivers?
In general, I'm having trouble getting the packages I need onto the system. I don't even have a compiler. What kind of software is available to look on the internet for packages (like python, emacs, compilers, etc) and install them (something like FreeBSD's ports system, or Debian's apt-get)? Do I need another CD to bootstrap my system into something useful?

Does CDE work, fine?
I don't even have a compiler.You can download a free copy of Sun Studio compiler suite from: http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/products/get.html
What kind of software is available to look on the internet for packages (like python, emacs, compilers, etc) and install them (something like FreeBSD's ports system, or Debian's apt-get)?You can either check sunfreeware.com for the required packages, or use Blastwave's pkg-get tool (http://technopark02.blogspot.com/2005/06/solaris-installing-appspackages-with.html) to install the packages and their dependencies, automatically.

Installing suncluster in vmware x86

Hi,
Im new to suncluster. Plz advice me the following...
I have two solaris10-x86 OS installed in vmware in my laptop. Is it possible to install & configure suncluster in two solaris 10 OS.
thanks in advance.

"pm_tickdelay" problem isn't present in VmWare. Problem is lack of the CPU power/scheduling of real-time suncluster's processes/modules which get out of sync.
I'm using 4CPU old Xeon machine to play with 2 instances of Solaris and Nevada (each VM gets 2 processes). It works even when i give only 1 CPU per Solaris Cluster VM. So better get deddicated SMP machine(for example dualcore) then install pure Vmware Server on it some Linux distro without X11 server. Connect to it remotely via Vmware Console - this way Vmware machine has much more free cycles to serve VMs. Try to contact Matthias Pfutzner for 32 bit kernel modules for x86 (of course no support and NDA).
Vmware Server can also emulate storage (with SCSI reservations, I've played only with 2-node emulated SCSI clusters, not sure whether it supports PGR-3). I can say only that vmware + sun cluster is very time consuming and frustrating, but worth trying. On the other hand you can setup third note as SunCluster Quorum Server insted of using SCSI as a quorum (example on your workstation, just install another Vmware on it and install Solaris).
The worst combination is the iSCSI+Sun Cluster which should to work on U4. Currently in U3 there is problem/kernel panic while offlining LUNs (it happen at random times). I've gave up on this one, as the only fix was tagged as "no-s10u4". Brief testing showed that quroum seemed to work on Solaris's iSCSI target using SCSI-2 reservations, but then you are limited to max 2 nodes only. I tryied also Solaris Cluster Express(based on Nevada sixty-something) for Oracle RAC on iSCSI and failed on another bug (metainit not found).
Big fat warning: iSCSI with sun cluster is currently NOT supported in any way and all of this testing was experimental/proof-of-concept.
Btw: I haven't tried U4 yet. Keep in mind that I can have outdated knowledge from 2 weeks ago.

X 86 hardware components - what is the optimal choice ?

hello
If I have to assemble a desktop with the purpose of installing solaris 10, what is the hardware that I need to buy ? The hardware list is a little difficult to understand because it does not specify a processor.
i want to use AMD / Intel processor, preferably dual core, what model numbers are most suitable for solaris 10 trouble free installation ?
What are the motherboards that support that processor ?
Do I have to be choosy about the harddrive ?
Does Solaris 10 require a specific type of RAM ?
Does it require a specific type of DVD+ R/W drive ?
It is not meant to be a mutliple o/s system. It is meant to be a solaris 10 only desktop, with minimal applications such as brwosing, email and star office...
Can the forum guide me on this ?

I did, I think:
optimal in terms of 'fit' for a fullHD project is 1920x1080
optimal in terms of 'fit' for a 720p project is 1280x720
optimal in terms of 'fit' for a SDef project (final delivery DVD) is 720x480
optimal for a project with maximum wide Ken Burns panning is 10.000x6.000 (=KB allows a max factor of 5x)
optimal in terms of compression is as little compression on import as possible - a .raw photo file converted to .tiff or .png with some hilarious MBs of data
optimal in terms of handy is a 2k res photo as jpg with 2-5Mbs (just a rule of thumb)
optimal in terms of processing in iMovie is 8bit compression, optimal in terms of quality is 10-12bit compression (no idea wether iM supports that)...
=> there is no SINGLE answer because there are several 'optimums' ....
the resolution should be close to your videos res.
if you add Ken Burns, multiply
doesn't care for dpi - that is for print only
avoid CMYK codecs, video is RGB only
iMovie supports alpha only in png
avoid too much compression BEFORE import - lots of MB is good. Lots of jpg to jpg to jpg generations is not good.
and so on, and so on........

Networking troubles with ABIT BP6 board and Solaris 8

Hi, Im trying to install the Solaris 8 software on my ABIT BP6 board with a Compaq NetFlex3 10TX NIC. This is a SMP board (dual celeron) but is not on the HCL (the NIC is).
The installation gives no problems at all (except for a memory conflict between memory devices), and SunOS works pretty well except for networking... using ifconfig -a shows me the networking interface and the loopback interface but I can't ping outside of the Solaris machine (or ping to the Solaris machine from an other machine).
I know that the board is not on the HCL but I had no networking troubles with Solaris 8 early access.
After instalation of the software and the reboot, I get the status as below:
>

The system is coming up. Please wait.

As you can see I get a time out while configuring the NIC. I tried a lot of different things (and some bad ones like using the device driver disk of the EA version with the cd's of the final version but no luck there...)
Anyone with the same problems or any help?
Thanx, Marcel

Hi maeck,
I'm sorry that my message is off the topic. Could you help me with a problem that I have with Abit BP6 + Solaris 8 combo?
I'm encountering error message on console screen during booting/reboot/shutting down like "APIC error interrupt on CPU 0. Status=2" where CPU can be 0 or 1, status can be 0, 2, 4 or 6.
If I let my dual Celeron400 run at 400MHz, the frequency of errors is few and far between. Though it still happens. If I overclock them to 558MHz like I udually do, it will show at least 4 times during a booting process. I've tried MPS 1.1 and 1.4 settings. I've also tried turning off all cache, delayed transaction, passive release settings.
In addition, the overclocked system tends to lock up while it runs flawless in Windows 2000 Professional and Redhat 6.1. Do you have any similar experience?
My system config:
Abit BP6 motherboard
400 MHz CPU X 2
GlobalWin FEP32 X 2
128M SDRAM
Creative Labs 3DBlaster TNT2
13GB Maxtor DiamondPlus 6800

Trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755

Hello All,
I'm having trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755.
I have also tried installing opensolaris 9/07 Express Dev snv_70b with the same issue.
I tried disabling all unnecessary hardware in the BIOS as well.
After GNU GRUB loads and I select Solaris install after about 20 dots.... I get:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1028,211@1d, 7
No SOF interrupts have been received
this USB EHCI host controller is unusable
Hardware:
Dell OptiPlex 755 Small Form Factor, Pentium Dual Core, E2160/1.8GHz1M,800FSB,1GB ram.
I am only installing Solaris 10 - no other OS will be on the HD.
Is there any hope for getting SolX installed on this machine or should I return this hardware and by a different model? I have to build 2 pc's with SolX for development boxs.
Thank you in Advance,
-M

Hi Experts,
I have multiple optiplex 755 Systems and facing the same problem.
I am not able to install Solaris either 8/07 or Exress 9/07.
can anybody answer with useful and working solution, on how to solve it, I mean 1. How to get Solaris 9/07 or 8/07 Installed on an Optiplex 755 system
(basically one with PC1/2 missing for keyboard and Mouse)I am a genuinely concerned guy, so please don't mind the rudeness in this question.

Lot of troubles (impossible) installing Solaris 10 on VMware Workstation 6

Hi, i'm experiencing troubles trying to install Solaris 10 x_86 (the last release) on VMware Workstation 6.
During the creation of the virtual machine I selected Solaris 64bit (I'm running an Intel Core2Duo CPU), selected the first ISO image and boot up the virtual machine. The installation of the first cd went just fine.
During the installation of the second cd, at a certain percent (sometimes ~50%, or later) the virtual machine reboots: I select the first choice on grub menu, but Solaris tolds me that something about the root repository (I don't remember well) is out of sync, and suggest me to reboot in failsafe mode and repair it; I did it and reboot...Doing this way I installed the second cd, but for the third (it happened the same -reboot- problem) it didn't work:
after fixed the repository in failsafe mode, and after reboot it doesn't start the installer, and shows this message:
http://img469.imageshack.us/my.php?image=solarishangsoi3.png
Please help me! I don't really know where/what I'm doing wrong...
Thanks really a lot for any help.
Regards
Gabriele

Simply Great, I had to Reboot the OS and I went to Failsafe mode where it went to single user mode and ask to update boot_archive, that worked.
When i Shutdown and Rebooted the System i could see system booting nicely and then it gave me bunch of Errors.
I think i will go and Do a Fresh Install again :(

Suncluster 3.0 binary Not Compatible with Solaris 8

I am not sure if anyone experienced the same problem. But I downloaded the latest Suncluster 3.0 binary from http://wwws.sun.com/software/cluster/get.html
Once extracted there is a file that saids "SOLARIS9ONLY". But I took a chance and tried installing it on Solaris 8 anyways. There is a great deal of problems once it finished installing. Solaris 8 experiences serious "no dump services" and other filesystem problems. Possibly previous patches such as 110648-25 will fix this, but this will obviously never install. Since the files in this patch are dated much earlier than the files found in the cluster3.0 patch.
Basically I am coming to the general conclusion that there is no "solaris cluster 3.0 binary" available for solaris 8 to the general public. I know in the past in my previous company we have installed older versions of cluster 3.0 with solaris 8 no problem. Anyone know where we can download older versions that work?

Hi I am facing the same problem as mentioned above. I wanted to know the location from where I can download Sun Cluster 3.0 for Solaris 8.
Can someone point this out asap ?
Thanks

Solaris 10 x86 cdrw trouble. Gnome and command line problems writing.

I'm experiencing general weirdness trying to write CD's and DVD's using a new internal DVD-RW device -- It's a Sony NEC AD 7220 A CD / DVD RW drive on a Solaris 10 x86 AMD system. I have searched far and wide for other threads of similar instances but no one has posted an issue like the one I'm having.
I have a Sony Optiarc AD 7220 A CD-RW on a x86 AMD Athalon 1.6 ghz based server with 2 GB RAM.
The DVD-RW drive gets detected by BIOS (Phoenix TrustedCore 2.3) and reads disks fine. I installed Solaris 10.08 from DVD using this DVD-RW drive.
However, trying to write to new blank media does not work properly, (effectively at all).
I've tried different brands of brands of blank CD's and CD-R and CD+R (have not tried using CD-RW disks yet). Ditto with DVD's - tried DVD-R and DVD+R's.
1. Inside the Solaris 10 GUI (Gnome, a.k.a. Java Desktop), when I put in a blank CD-R, a dialog box "Format Media...?" pops up. If I click "Ok" it formats the blank CD and closes the session, CD has been written to and is ruined.
2. I open a terminal window, as root, and put in a blank CD. "mkisofs r /home/foo 2>/dev/null | cdrw i p 1" will write a directory tree OK, but if I go back into gnome GUI and open and close the CD tray, again, up pops the "Format Media..." dialog box instead of the CD appearing on the desktop. If I restart vold (svcadm restart volfs) then open and close the CD tray, voila, the contents appear on desktop as CD icon.
3. When I try to write to a DVD-R: "cdrw -i /local/iso_image" It always fails with: Write Track 1....Failed. after a few minutes. It did in fact write part of the .iso but bails out with a failure.
I've tried various other write commands (specifying the device ID, speed, so on and so forth) and command line switch options (following the rules of course) and it seems to me to be more than a syntax / media issue. However if it is I would like to know. I did see a similar CDRW device on the HCL for OpenSolaris with a 'reported to work' rating. That was for a Optiarc AD-5200A, which is going away thus my company has chosen to use the AD 7220A in speciality racks we build and deliver to the U.S. Navy.
I really need to get a handle on this CD-RW device issue and decide if a different brand / model is what it's going to take to solve this and move on to producing and delivering these systems in working conditions.

Sony systems are often very particular about what CD's and DVD's they'll take. I have several Sony systems that I use for video work and they'll read almost anything but they'll only write to DVD RW. They also don't like cheap brand CD's and DVD's. Be sure to try both CD RW and DVD RW before doing anything else. Because of the requirement for DVD RW, they won't take fast speed (16x) DVD's, just 4x. If all of this turns out to be the case, you may want to go with a different manufacturer for the drive, DVD +RW 4x aren't always easy to find in the store.

Grid installation in solaris 10 (sparc) with Suncluster

While installing grid for cluster, node information table appears as blank.. while clicking "use cluster configuration file" option in that screen it shows that vendor clusterware detected. cluster configuration cannot be modified..
If anyone knows how to resolve this problem, please post ur solution or if you have any procedure to install 11g r2 Grid infrastructure for a cluster in Solaris 10 sparc os with sun cluster 3.2, please send me the document to my email id- [email protected]

I would suggest changing the media you burned it on. That always seems to be the issue with things like this. Search the forums for suggestions on what works.

Trouble w/installing Solaris 10 branded zone on solaris 11.

Having issues creating a policy that works installing solaris 10 u10 branded nfs zone on sol11 in opscenter 12c u1. Maybe i'm just overlooking something basic or it isn't supported in opscenter. I'm able to create the policy but seem to get a very non-informative error message when deploying it.

Classpath troubles in Solaris 8

Hi, I'm trying to run my application build on JWSDP1.2 on Solaris 8. I've installed the JWSDP and J2SDK and they work fine. But now I'm stuck with the classpath.
I use (something like :) the following start script:
HME="/export/home/NAME"
JAX="$HME/jwdsp1.2/jaxb/lib"
JWS="$HME/jwsdp1.2/jwsdp-shared/lib"
CLSPATH="../:.:$JAR/jaxb-api.jar:$JAR/jaxb-impl.jar:$JAR/jaxb-libs.jar:$JWS/relaxngDatatype.jar:$JWS/namespace.jar"
java -classpath $CLSPATH -Jar Manager.Jar
When I run this script in 'HME/Manager' I get the message:
NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException
that class resides in jaxb-api.jar!
Who can tell me what I've done wrong? I've checked the paths a dozen of times and tried relative as well as absolute paths. I even tried the directory to which /export/home is 'mounted'.
The application runs fine on Windows XP using the same classpath and jar(name)s...
Thanks in advance

Hi!
In your classpath... aren't you using $JAR instead of $JAX ??
In the line:
CLSPATH="../:.:$JAR/jaxb-api.jar:$JAR/jaxb-impl.jar:$JAR/jaxb-libs.jar:$JWS/relaxngDatatype.jar:$JWS/namespace.jar"
