Terminal VT100

Necesito emular un terminal VT100 para recibir utilizando labview. Tengo confeccionado un vi utilizando serial vi pero a la hora de recibir se me presenta el problema de que se cuelan caracteres extraños y además el texto esta descolocado de lo que sale en un terminal de verdad.
¿Existe algun vi que pueda utilizar? tambien me vale una explicacion de como hacerlo
Gracias

Hola Poldy, lo descolocado de tu sistema puede ser simplemente estético( en la forma que acomodas los datos) y los caracteres basura pueden ser debido a baud rate diferentes.
En el siguiente link puedes encontrar un poco mas de la emulación de VT100, e incluso también hay un VI para hacerlo en ese foro

How To Set Terminal Type in Solaris 10 Jumpstart?

Hi all,
I'm installing Solaris 10 via jumpstart, and I'd like to set the terminal type for the console to be vt100 by default.
I've tried setting the terminal type to vt100 in sysidcfg, with a line:
terminal=vt100
but this has no effect (and never has done).
In previous versions I just modified /etc/inittab from the finish script, but that's not relevant any more.
I know that I can set the terminal type after login with:
/usr/sbin/svccfg -s system/console-login 'setprop ttymon/terminal_type = vt100'
but I can't do this until the system has booted for the first time.
I've tried putting various bits of XML into /var/svc, but I'm now at the point where I'm just guessing - does anyone know the right way to do this, or can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

As far as I know, your approach is correct. If you don't want
> to modify the xml file manually, you can use chroot in the finish script.
Using chroot in the finish script does not work, and gives an error:
svccfg: Could not connect to repository server: repository server unavailable.
Modifying xml is fine, but it would be nice to do it in a way that will not get reverted next time I apply a patch cluster, so simply editing /var/svc/manifest/system/console-login.xml would (I think) be out.
Is there a more correct way of overriding the contents of a manifest?
Cheers,
Steve.

When I scanned my last example of a zone cluster, I spotted, that I added my logical host to the zone clusters configuration.
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/cluster
set brand=cluster
set autoboot=true
set enable_priv_net=true
set ip-type=shared
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/lib
end
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/platform
end
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/sbin
end
add inherit-pkg-dir
set dir=/usr
end
add net
set address=applh
set physical=auto
end
add dataset
set name=applpool
end
add node
set physical-host=deulwork80
set hostname=deulclu
add net
set address=172.16.30.81
set physical=e1000g0
end
end
add sysid
set root_password=nMKsicI310jEM
set name_service=""
set nfs4_domain=dynamic
set security_policy=NONE
set system_locale=C
set terminal=vt100
set timezone=Europe/Berlin
end
I am refering to:
add net
set address=applh
set physical=auto
end
So as far as I can see this is missing from your configuration. Sorry for leading you in the wrong way.

Unattended Solaris 10 installation with jumpstart server issue

Hello,
I have setup a jumpstart server and am finding it difficult to get a fully unattended solaris 10 sparc 10/09 install on a t1000 client. The console connection to the client goes into interactive mode at the point in system identification when the installer asks if the system is networked or non-networked, and runs a setup of default time zone and date/time. Using esc-2 to advance through the interactive menu it asks if ithe system is on a subnet, for the netmask (which is there as default), asks if the current time is correct, then asks me to confirm that my selections are correct. When I confirm it goes on it's merry way to finish the installation unattended.
My guess is it does not like one of the values in the sysidcfg file being used, but can't seem to see where the problem is. I don't see anything in the table of sysidcfg keywords from the online docs that specify networked or not, and I am using the network_interface keyword to define hostname, ip, default router, netmask and ipv6, and thought that should take care of the networking portion of system identification, also have timezone and time server set.
Could it be that I am configuring an ethernet port that is not connected (bge0)? This computer will be deployed on a DMZ type network, and the jumpstart server is located on a different network our internal private network. The jumpstart installation via the server is done by using a temporary ethernet connection on a second interface of the client. One other note the defined time server is on the dmz so the installation program won't see it.
Any suggestions on what might be causing the interactive installer to kick in?
Here is the sysidcfg used for the client:
more sysidcfg_vlan3/sysidcfg
keyboard=US-English
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
system_locale=en_US
install_locale=en_US
timeserver=service-time

Thanks,

update. Fixed the problem with date/time by using abrante's suggestion of setting the time server to localhost. Don't get prompted for date/time information in the interactive installer any more.
If I setup the sysidcfg file to configure the ethernet port being used to communicate with the jumpstart server (bge1), using an ip and netmask that is on the jumpstart server network, the installation goes through fully un-attended.
Is there any way to get a second interface (in this case bge0) configured with ip/netmask values that are not part of the jumpstart server's network, using a non interactive jumpstart installation? Using these values in sysidcfg, the only things prompted for during the installation are, Is the system on a subnet, and what is the netmask. Anyone know what the sysidcfg part of the installation does to check the validity of a netmask value given in the sysidcfg file on the jumpstart server?
If need be, I guess the interface could be configured in the finish script.

Jumpstart flash_install profile doesn't work

I have created a jumpstart server using flar images (flash) as source to install/clone servers as solution for backup of solaris install data from rootdg (using VxVM). All configs was done:
* sysidcfg
* rules.ok (after execution of ./check script)
* profile
* add_install_server
* add_install client (only one client until now - test phase)
The problem occurs when after net boot from jumpstart client (boot net - install), the suninstall open interactive window asking for configuration data (install from cd ou flash archive, boot disk, partitioning, packages, etc). The first part of Identification of installed server semmes to be ok (in this case sysidcfg). I want to do a restore of server completely unnatended so this situation doesn't help me.
I just tried everything and the instalation but the behavior it's the same.
What is wrong ???

Setting The Default Route in a Jumpstart Install with Multiple Interfaces

Greetings,
I'm performing a Jumpstart install on a SPARC v240 server, which has multiple network interfaces. I'm trying to configure all of the interfaces as part of the Jumpstart setup. However, Jumpstart doesn't like the default route that I'm supplying. If I add the default_route parameter anywhere but under the first interface, Jumpstart complains that the default route is missing (by making me add it after it dumps out to the suninstall screens. If I add the default route under the first interface, Jumpstart dumps me to the suninstall screen which says that the route could not be added.
What am I doing wrong ? Am I trying to get Jumpstart to do something that it won't do ?
Here is my sysidcfg file. The file shown below will cause Jumpstart to dump to the suninstall screen, which will indicate that the route cannot be added:
Please wait while the system information is loaded... /
Please wait while the system is configured with your settings...
The route provided could not be added at this time. If you wish to accept the
route provided, press 'Accept' and the address will be added for reboot,
otherwise press 'Cancel' and provide another address.
1. Accept
2. Cancel

That sysidcfg seems a bit odd anyway, have you by any chance put the different interfaces of your jumpstart server into it? Normally you won't need to specify a default router since the jumpstart will figure it out anyway.. Does your jumpstart server have an interface on each network you want to jumpstart?

Solaris 10 8/07 on sparc jumpstart issue

I just tried to jumpstart via 'boot net:dhcp - install' the 8/07 release. No changes on my servers, only a link to the new repository. Though it throws me into the interactive install pretty early.

Solaris 10 U6 jumpstart installation always goes into interactive mode desp

While doing the Solaris 10 U6 jumpstart installation, it is going into interactive mode for netmask.
This is the sysidcfg file configuration being used :
bash-3.00# cat /export/home/iserver/jumpstart/donau1/sysidcfg
system_locale=en_US
name_service=none
network_interface=ce2

root_password=5YcgZqC0krYjo

Here the network interface specified is "ce2" and the netmask is as shown above. Still, we observe the problem all the times.
and I have seen the following messages on the screen
Attempting to configure interface ce3...

after this it is going into interactive mode and prompting for netmask . After providing the netmask, installation goes through successfully.
so please suggest me some solution to avoid it going into interactive mode.

I have seen this too over the years and it ultimately comes down to something innate:
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Try and use interface ce0.
2. Check default route on both jumpstart server and client.
3. The arp cache may need to be flushed on the Jumpstart server.
4. Use snoop and see what happens during the actual RARPing phase between the server and host.
5. Switch the order in the sysid config file as indicated below:

General questions about Solaris 10

Hi,
We recently changed the Operating system on which our application runs from Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 10, on Sun Ultra-60 workstations.
I have a few questions that i'd like to ask :
- is there a way to have the boot messages back on screen ( we use boot scripts and need to see them run on screen before the login banner appears to know if everything is fine or wrong )
- We use the "/usr/ucb/ps -auxwww" command to see the processes running, but with some users, the display is truncated, careless of the number of w we use.
- Once I have installed my server ( this time it is a Sunfire V240 ), I need to create automatically a zone, everything seems fine, but the sysidcfg file seems not to work, I still need to connect to the zone to finish the configuration. Here is the sysidcfg file we use :
name_service=NONE
network_interface=hme0
{ hostname=air60s3
netmask=255.255.255.0
default_route=none
protocol_ipv6=no
security_policy=NONE
system_locale=C

Thanks by advance for your responses

screen ( we use boot scripts and need to see them run
on screen before the login banner appears to know if
everything is fine or wrong )They're logged now, so you can look at them later.
If you have a script that wants to display to the console no matter what, then instead of STDOUT, have it write something to /dev/sysmsg.
>

- Once I have installed my server ( this time it is a
Sunfire V240 ), I need to create automatically a
zone, everything seems fine, but the sysidcfg file
seems not to work,I've heard of some problems with using the sysidcf file in 03/05. I don't know if update 1 or patches fix some of the problems.

Sol10 Jumpstart on X86 insists on doing interactive install

Hi,
I've been using Jumpstart for long time installing both Solaris 8 and 10 for Sparc, however now I got a brand new X4200 so I'm trying to set up the same install environment for x86. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to convince the installation process to use Custom Jumpstart, it always goes into interactive mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My environment:
* DHCP and TFTP server running Debian Linux, this seems to work fine, the Sun gets its PXE bootinfo and loads the correct menu.1st file
* Solaris 10 6.06 x86 DVD image exported from a Sun (running Solaris 8 but that shouldn't matter), jumpstart files also served by this server
when the system boots I get the following feedback on the screen:

Good point, I was already thinking that direction. It seems to fill in most questions correctly already except for the hostname, the fact that he needs to use NIS and the domain name. So I used another sysidcfg file from the Solaris 10 Sparc jumpstart installation and made sure the hostname/ip-address exists in the hosts map in NIS. But he's still asking the same questions.

Custom jumpstart Solaris 10 5/09 going interactive

Been trying to do a custom jumpstart for Solaris 10 5/09 SPARC and keep getting into interactive mode.
Here is the profile and sysidcfg. Both work for Solaris 10 11/06 SPARC. The target machine is a SunBlade 100.

Anyone have a similar experience with this release?

This release like the previous one require updating "check" script for rules.ok from this release. The notes also indicate your host should have the latest firmware (prom) release. I'd make sure the blade 100 is supported. double check your entries for this host in bootparams to assure you removed the old and re-added this release. Mostly I'd "boot net -v install" so you can see the verbose output which should show you the issue just before dumping you into the menu. I have installed this release via normal jumpstart in V240 and T2000 clients with no issue. However I have an upgrade from 8/07 that fails when checking diskspace so I can't say upgrades work. From your description it almost seems like it's not finding the sysidcfg at all but your verbose boot will show all the details.
good luck, JB

Sysidcfg file for unattended installation with proper IP addressing

Hi,
I've been running jumpstart installation for several Sunfire V210 and V280Rs. I did use the following sysidcfg file but it's complaining regarding NOT finding Jumpstart Directory and subsequently fails to comply with rules file. Though the ./check verification did gave me a okay signal but the [I guess] ip addressing/subnet mask scheme is causing trouble. I'm in the same subnet. I happened to google a lot on this, almost everyone had problem with ip addresssing and subnet mask. With this current sysidcfg, the system prompted for default route, for once!
Can someone please share a working sysidcfg file for an unattended installation?
# my current sysidcfg file
system_locale=en_US
timezone=US/Central
terminal=sun-cmd
timeserver=localhost
root_password=test
network_interface=bge0 {netmask=255.255.0.0
protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=none
name_service=none
Initially I was using following directive; it couldn't find the jumpstart directory. I even tried removing "default_route", didn't help much.
network_interface=bge0 {hostname=test1
                       default_route=10.1.1.253
                       ip_address=10.1.1.1
                       netmask=255.255.0.0
                       protocol_ipv6=no}
Here is my log ...

After that all worked fine.
In case should you need to see my /etc/bootparam file, here it is ..

Can you please highlight what went wrong?

Heres the sysidcfg file we use
system_locale=en_AU
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
name_service=DNS {domain_name=anu.edu.au name_server=150.203.1.10,130.56.4.1 search=anu.edu.au}
network_interface=bge0 {hostname=talwood ip_address=130.56.64.131 default_route=130.56.64.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=yes}
timeserver=localhost
timezone=Australia/NSW
But it appears similar enough to what your using. But I can assure you that it works correctly.

Keywords for sysidcfg in jumpstart

Hi all,
where can I find a complete list of all possible keywords for the sysidcfg file using a jumpstart server?
I want to set up a Solaris 10-11.06 x86 on a Dell gx240; the installation should run in text mode, but with my sysconfig file there's always coming up a request about the display, keyboard and graphics.
The target is an installation without any interaction!
here's my sysidcfg:
keyboard=ATKBD {layout=de}
display=ati {size=17-inch}
pointer=MS-S
name_service=NIS {domain_name=DMAINNAME
name_server=nisserver(10.x.y.z)}
root_password=BLABLA
system_locale=C
timezone=CET
timeserver=localhost
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
network_interface=primary {netmask=255.255.0.0
default_route=10.a.b.c
protocol_ipv6=no}
Thx in advance!

Well, what I would like to have is a complete list of all possible values for the sysidcfg file in the jumpstart directory. For example for the keyword terminal the value "vt100" and "xterm" and "sun-cmd" are possible; which values I can use also? What's about keyboard or display? Or is it possible to get these values automatically?
That's my problem: I use a german keyboard and after install Solaris10-x86 the keyboard is set to en-US; the only trick I found was using "eeprom kbd-type=German" in the postinstall script. Would be helpful to have a automatic hardware detection - for Linux this works nice... don't get me wrong, I love Solaris (sparc) since 1992, but some things in Linux are also very nice...

Generate a sysidcfg file

Is there a command to generate a sysidcfg file based on a systems current configuration?
Thanks!

Well, its not hugely complicated, mine could easily be generated with the following shell script:
#!/bin/sh
netmask=`cat /etc/netmasks |grep -v \# |awk '{print $2}'`
router=`cat /etc/defaultrouter`
pw=`cat /etc/shadow |grep root |cut -d: -f2`
echo "timezone=${TZ}"
echo "network_interface=primary{netmask=${netmask} protocol_ipv6=no default_router=${router} }"
echo "root_password=${pw}"
echo "system_locale=${LANG}"
echo "terminal=vt100"
echo "timeserver=localhost"
echo "name_service=none"
echo "security_policy=none".. i configure the systems from the finish_script, so my sysidcfg contains a lot of 'none' ..
