Syslogd cpu use and Update Manager

Hello,
Forgive me if I missed this elsewhere, however I'm experiencing syslogd using 50% to 190% cpu time on a dual processor v280R system. Is this normal behavior or am I missing a patch?
Thanks,
Matt

Could you provide us with the output from prstat
I could understand if you were getting this problem from a process that was related to updatemanager, but unless updatemanager was causing entries to be logged then I wouldn't expect this behaviour.
Do you see the same behaviour when running smpatch (or other applications) ?

Software liscense and update manager...

-A Home User-
I bought solaris 10 last year for my home mail and web server, and I guess to learn also. And update manager worked fine all year. Now I am receiving the following error:
Error: Unable to download document: "collection/default" Response code was 403
I looked a little around the web and most threads seems to be saying that it is an expired liscense issue.
Do I really have to buy Solaris every year to get updates for the OS or is there a way to get a perpetual license so I only have to pay once?
thanks,
somewhat disgrunteld home user.

Fail to download plugin using eclipse update manager

i have tried many time to install the plugin using eclipse update manager.
finally i manage to download it, it takes me two days to finish.
then it gave me error during the installation.
when i went to the update manager, it has started from the begining. thats mean it ill take another two days
here is my questions.
is there a link where i can download the pluging without the update manager, then install it?
where is the files that already downloaded by hte update manager? so i can just install it again?
Edited by: Abdulaziz Al-Sharekh on Jun 15, 2008 6:03 PM

i was able to download the plugins and then install it (without using update manager for downloading the plugin) in a 30 min.
i used this link

which is one of the prerequisit for the Widget development tool

Use and update purchased apps from one iTunes store account to another?

I have two iTunes Store Accounts (Apple ID's) with the vast majority of purchases, music and apps, made on one account, but I've created a second account and wish to use it to sync with my iPhone.
Will I be able to continue to use and update the apps on my iPhone purchased with the first account?
Thanks.

This sounds like the kinda thing Apple support might be able to help with. It's possible they might be able to merge the 2 accounts or switch user names around or something.
Apps and Protected music files are locked to one account. I don't think there is any way you(personaly) can transfer and/or updated them on a different account.

Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
thanks muchly :^D
p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

Excessive cpu use and crashes

I've been having many crashes lately. One of the odd symptoms is that the Activity Monitor shows huge amounts of cpu use graphically, while at the same time showing very little use in the written list. A screenshot is here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/34043585@N00/2363034014/sizes/o/
and here

Sometimes an app will crash, ask if I want to restart, restart, and crash again.
I went through my fonts tonight and repaired my disk permissions. However, I still get this error message when I run a permissions check:
ACL found but not expected on "System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Info.plist".
and
ACL found but not expected on "Library".
So far things appear to be ok tonight, but this puppy has been intermittent, so I don't know if my font futzing did any good.
Any ideas on the ACL messages and why the cpu usage was off the charts?
Tom

ACL stands for "Access Control List." It's a way of restricting who can access what files on your computer. It should not be on the file you listed. You'll need to remove it, which you can find out how to do in OS 10.4 by reading this article:
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10-4.ars/8
It is possible that this ACL is what's causing your problems and it's a good place to start. However, I also recommend you boot the computer in Safe mode by restarting while holding down the Shift key. Booting in safe mode runs a lot of maintenance scripts that clear font caches, etc. It may help.

CPU used under Resource Manager.

Hi,
in 10g R2, I have created a Plan for DBMS resource manager :
EXEC DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_PENDING_AREA();
EXEC DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CREATE_SIMPLE_PLAN(SIMPLE_PLAN => 'simple_plan1',CONSUMER_GROUP1 => 'mygroup1', GROUP1_CPU => 80,CONSUMER_GROUP2 => 'mygroup2', GROUP2_CPU => 20);
ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN ='simple_plan1';
EXEC DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SWITCH_CONSUMER_GROUP_FOR_USER ('SCOTT', 'MYGROUP2');
EXEC DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER_PRIVS.GRANT_SWITCH_CONSUMER_GROUP ('SCOTT', 'MYGROUP2', TRUE);
EXEC DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SUBMIT_PENDING_AREA;
EXEC DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.CLEAR_PENDING_AREA;Now SCOTT runs the following ( exemple from 24 Using the Database Resource Manager) :
DECLARE
m NUMBER;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..100000 LOOP
FOR j IN 1..100000 LOOP
* The following query does a cartesian product without
* a predicate and takes up significant CPU time.
select count(*) into m from v$sysstat, v$system_event;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
END;
END;
/And CPU comsumption goes up to 100%. Why ? According to his consummer group shouldn't he just have 20% of CPU ?
Any explanation ?
Thank you.

Thanks to all.
Ok, we will run the same script by SYS to have CPU load to 100%. Then SCOTT will run that script. How much CPU will he have ? And where can I see it ?
And of course , SCOTT is just waiting :
SQL> SELECT se.sid sess_id, co.name consumer_group,
2   se.state, se.consumed_cpu_time cpu_time, se.cpu_wait_time, se.queued_time
3   FROM v$rsrc_session_info se, v$rsrc_consumer_group co
4   WHERE se.current_consumer_group_id = co.id
5 and sid=137;
   SESS_ID CONSUMER_GROUP                   STATE
CPU_TIME CPU_WAIT_TIME QUEUED_TIME
       137 MYGROUP2                         WAITING FOR CPU
   3473688     130618354           0I created another user for MYGROUP1 and he runs the same script, now both are waiting :

Enable disk use and Manually manage music and videos

When I go to Summary, Enable disk use is checked but dim, so I can't change it. Manually manage music and videos is checked and not dim. Is this enough to do so that I can manage the videos I have shot on my Nano from iTunes, or do I have to do it from iPhoto?

Hello JohnKerr48,
I can manage the videos I have shot on my Nano from iTunes, or do I have to do it from iPhoto?
You have to manage them via a Finder window, through iMovie, or iPhoto. They cannot be managed via iTunes unless you copy them from your Nano onto your Mac and then import them into your iTunes library. For more information, see this Apple support document.

How do I install to JBuilder 2008 R2 using update manager.

I am trying to install OEPE 11g to JBuilder 2008 R2 using the update manager. JBuilder is now Eclipse based. I add the install site, select OEPE to install and get the following error.
Cannot complete the request. See the details.
Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match
[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.objectweb.asm/[2.2.3,2.2.3]].
I tried the individual components to narrow down the conflict. I also made sure JBuilder was current. I am new to Eclipse and do not know how to resolve this error. Suggestions?
Trying to install:
Oracle Database Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle Spring ORM Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Did install:
JSF Facelets Tools Incubator - 0.1.0.200807291102
Oracle Common Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle WebLogic Server Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Spring IDE Core (required) 2.2.0v200809261800 (JBuilder 2008 R2 comes with newer version, 2.2.1.v200811281800)

It seems the SpringIDE comes with JBuilder is not compatible with OEPE.
Try download the OEPE plugins from
http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/ganymede/oepe-ganymede-11.1.1.1.1.200904131333.zip
and unzip it into the /dropins folder of the JBuilder Eclispe installation directory. Then restart with -clean command line option.

Update Manager issues

I have been using solaris for going on 10 years now. In the past I would download the latest patch cluster from Sunsolve, burn it to a cd, and install the cluster from single user mode. When 10 came out, I was excited to see and experiment with the update manager. I am not too excited now. I am rather dissapointed. The update manager freezes half the time and now smpatch generates errors and will not work at all. Update manager also stopped working totally until I backed out one of the "patching" patches.
So, I went back to the CD method and found the return codes have changed until the appropriate switch was added to the install_cluster script. Does anyone use this update manager? Seems like a pain to me.

I too have the same problems with Update Manager, on both Sparc and x86 machines. When I update anything, I've gone to the effort to watch cpu, disk, and network activity in the performace monitor. When all three have flat-lined, then I know to abort the updating.
When Update Manager fails, I erase all contents of the /var/sadm/spool folder to start from scratch. Then, rather than reverting to cluster patching, I use smpatch.
smpatch analyze > patchlist
smpatch download -x idlist=patchlist
I look at a resulting patchlist*.txt file to see in what order the patches need to be applied.
One should then be able to apply all of the patches in the single user mode by:
smpatch order -x idlist=patchlist > orderlist
smpatch add -x idlist=orderlist
However, I don't trust all of them to add without failure, so add each one individually, taxing my patience:
smpatch add -i 123456-01 (the number of the patch's jar file)
After I have installed all pending patches and reboot, I feel confident to try Update Manager again. At least I can use it to tell me if patches exist. Note that after rebooting, you'll need to run Update Manager manually from Launch > Applications > Utilities > Update Manager in the Java Desktop.
Good luck. I hope for both of our sakes that something better comes along in our lifetime.

Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now. No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

Remote Update Manager with AAMEE 2.1 deployments.

Hi,
I've noticed the AAMEE 3.1 Beta has some new options that integrate with Remote Update Manager and CS6 installation packages, that allows you disable updates, but still run them with Remote Update Manager. If I've deployed and Adobe CS5.5 package built with AAMEE 2.1, with the ability to install updates disabled, will I still be able to use Remote Update Manager to install updates to those deployments? Or will I need to continue to deploy them manually? If I want to deploy CS5.5 and use Remote Update Manager for updates, what settings should I be using in AAMEE 2.1 when I build my packages?
Thanks,
~Ted

Hi Ted,
RUM can also be used with CS5 & CS5.5 and by the sounds of it would fit in with your current configuration very well. If user's are non admins or you do not want each client pulling in there updates automatically then we would suggest turning off client updates in AAMEE and then using RUM.
Have you looked at setting up AUSST in your environment ? it is great to use in conjunction with RUM but you can of course just use RUM if you prefer.
Cheers

It seems to be related to the new Creative Cloud Packager (version 1.7).
All the packs I had made with 1.5 exited correctectly.
All the packs I have make with 1.7 dont exit.
And it seems to be impossible to go back to 1.5 ....
I think the problem might be with this line (from uob_csis but I get the exact same):
RemoteUpdateManager version is : 1.7.0.25 (BuildVersion: 1.6; BuildDate: Tue Sep 02 2014 07:02:05 )
There seems to be an incoherence between the version and the buildversion.
