/tmp in Solaris

Hi Friends,
I want to clear the doubt abt /tmp in solaris and swap space.
as df -k /tmp showing its on swap and swap -l is showing different figures.
Say for eg:- In my configuration I have Physical Mem= 16GB
swap -l = showing =14 Gb
and /tmp is varying according to the load.
I mean when /tmp is heavely used(say 98 %) df -k /tmp o/p showing less vaule in Kbytes(around 4Gb) and when its not heavly used (say 30 %) this value is shoots up and showing around 12 GB.
let me know from where this space (df -k /tmp) is coming.
How to diagnose the problem when /tmp is heavely used.
Any Suggestons are most welcome and would be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Munish

Now in this Swap Configured is 14Gb (swap -l)Yes. You have 14GB of disk backing store. 14 + 16 => 30 G of swap. The system reserves some of the RAM, so not all of it is pageable.
swap -s showing 17.15 GB is avalable and 7.58 Gb is
in use. (i.e total swap is 17.15+7.58=24.73Gb)Seems a bit low for some reason (I wouldn't expect to lose 5G here).
Physical memory= 16 Gb
df -k /tmp showing 18 Gb which is on swap.Ignore df for now.
what is the link between these values.
Now, this /tmp (i.e 18 Gb value)changes according to
the memory usage (Load i said before) taken by the
processes.The term "load" is not normally associated with memory usage.
tmpfs filesystems can only use swap that is not otherwise occupied. So the free space of a tmpfs filesystems should be very near available swap (unless you're explicitly limiting the space usable by a tmpfs filesystem).
And in your case that is true. Both are 18G.

How to monitor /tmp in solaris in OEM 12c

Oracle says by default they don't monitor swap file system and only metric available is swap utilization %
I would like to monitor /tmp and warning alert when it reaches 80% and 95% as a critical alert.
Any thoughts... Oracle suggests to do metric extension and I don't think for a simple thing like this we need to create a metric extension...

Check the monitoring under Host for Filesystem Space Available (%), this should be monitoring all filesystems by default.

Solaris 10 NFS client with FreeBSD server

Hello,
I have an issue about Solaris 10 and a FreeBSD server (currently running 5.4-STABLE). This server exports several NFS shares (3TB each) to various machines including Linux (which works fine) and Solaris (which worked fine on 9 but not 10).
The last progress was that if you link .sunw in the /home/$USER
directory to /tmp on Solaris 10, you can then use applications and ssh out from the server. It looks to me like a pure Solaris issue but i still have failed to find a way to fix it.
The mount options i currently have on solaris are :
rw,bg,nosuid,nfsver=3,tcp,intr,-w=32768,-r=32768
Also modified /etc/default/nfs to force NFS3 thinking it might have been the issue : NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=3
I have searched forums and search engines hoping to find an answer but have failed to see anything yet. As far as i can tell, it is a Solaris 10 issue but have no idea how to fix it.
Thanks for any help,
Steph

I also have this problem with FreeBSD 6.2 and Solaris 10 (was OK with Solaris 7 and 9).
The file system shared is about 30GB, and is FreeBSD on Sparc64.

Installation on Gentoo / Can't find JRE

Refresh report properties through RAS Report Service

hello,
We are trying to deploy a two different report files through BusinessObjects SDK. One with Input Parameter and one without input parameters.
We are able to run the report with no input parameters using BusinessObjects SDK but in case of report having input parameters, the report parameters are shown on CMC as "unused parameters" and the filter condition is not saved.
If we deploy the report with parameters through CMC we are able to view the parameters and also the filter condition defined.
What could be the change in code required to identify the report parameters when deployed using the SDK code.
The code used for deploying the report is
       IReport oReport = (IReport) oInfoObjectNewReport;
oInfoStore.commit(oInfoObjects);
       IReportAppFactory raf = (IReportAppFactory) oEnterpriseSession.getService("", "RASReportService");
       ReportClientDocument rcd = raf.openDocument(oReport, 0, java.util.Locale.ENGLISH);
       rcd.save();
       rcd.close();
One are able to deploy the report using the IReport.refreshProperties through java code but we have a limitation.
This method creates a .pid file within the folder /tmp in solaris. The owner of this file is the user that installed crystal server.
This file has only rw permissions to the owner.
In our application the crystal installer user and the application user are different. Hence we are unable to publish the report using refreshProperties method.
Requesting an appropriate solution for the above issues.
thank you,

Hsperfdata_ USER dirctories

From googling the net and searching these forums I understand the JVM needs to create the hsperfdata files. I can live with that I guess. My problem is that the JVM always creates them in /tmp on my SuSE Enterprise 9 server. I need to be able to specify the location of these files. I tried setting environment variables, TMP and TEMP. That did not work. I tried a -Djava.io.tmpdir=/mydir and that did not work.
I went to the JVM source and found in perfMemory_linux.cpp:
static char* get_user_tmp_dir(const char* user) {
const char* tmpdir = os::get_temp_directory();
const char* perfdir = PERFDATA_NAME;
size_t nbytes = strlen(tmpdir) + strlen(perfdir) + strlen(user) + 2;
char* dirname = NEW_C_HEAP_ARRAY(char, nbytes);
// construct the path name to user specific tmp directory
snprintf(dirname, nbytes, "%s%s_%s", tmpdir, perfdir, user);
return dirname;
I then tracked down this get_temp_directory function and found this in os_linux.cpp:
const char* os::get_temp_directory() { return "/tmp/"; }
So this means the JVM is hard coded to access /tmp. There is no reason the JVM should be hardcoded to such a location, it should be customizable through some sort of parameter. Anyone have ideas?

Yes, the location is hard coded to /tmp on Solaris and Linux. The jvmstat infrastructure is just using the HotSpot JVM's default tmp location. Overriding with -Djava.io.tmpdir is insufficient because java.io.tmpdir only changes the JDK's notion of where the tmp directory is located. It does not interact with the JVM's notion of the location of /tmp. Setting the TMP or TEMP variables on Windows just happens to work because both the JVM and the JDK use the same underlying Windows GetTempPath() API to select the default location. UNIX system don't have a corresponding API.
If you'd like to see a change to this behavior, I'd suggest that you file a bug at
http://bugs.sun.com/services/bugreport/index.jsp.
Out of curiosity, where would you redirect /tmp to? The jvmstat files are backing store files for named shared memory segments, one for each running JVM. On Solaris with a tmpfs based /tmp file system, the OS treats such shared memory files rather specially and doesn't write the data to disk until the application terminates (while still providing the coherent access to the data from any app that would access it). I'm not sure if Linux provides similar treatment. If you redirect these to a remote file system, that could result in some performance issues as the OS will periodically synchronize the in-memory data with the backing store file.

Set-tmp-permission is not running in my Solaris 10 Netra CP3060 blade serve

Hi All,
In my Solaris 10 - Netra CP3060, the following particular script is not running:
lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S00set-tmp-permissions
lrc:/etc/rc2_d/S07set-tmp-permissions
Above script is to set the default permission of /tmp & /var/tmp while rebooting if it found any inconsistencies. I changed the file permission of /tmp and rebooted my server. As the above scripts are not running, it shouldn't change the file permission to default. But the file permission changed after reboot.
Please let me know is there any other service running related to this in my server. Was this script incorporated in SMF facility, if so whats that service name?
Thanks,
Ram.

Mounting /tmp as a filesystem on Solaris 10?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to mount /tmp as a filesystem in Solaris 10? My server is running Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 and the boot drive is encapsulated. After I change vfstab to mount /tmp as a standard filesystem, the server goes into single user mode whenever I reboot. It complains that it is unable to find the volume device for the /tmp filesystem. I also notice that the diskgroup where the /tmp volume resides is not imported so it seems like Veritas is not initialized at this point.
On a side note, I have been able to mount /tmp as a filesystem in the past in Solaris 9.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have a solaris server with 16gb of RAM that will subsequently be zoned into three zones to support three separate database instances, one for each zone. Given that physically there is only 16Gb of ram, It is my understanding and experience that I should have 1.5-2 * 4Gb should be at least 6Gb of SWAP per Local Zone.
Please advise. ThanksI'd look at it like this .....
Your Phyiscal Memory will be used somewhat as follows:-
- Lets say 1GB for the OS ...
- 1.5GB for zfs arc cahce if your useing ZFS.
- The sum of your PGAs and SGA's should fit within the remainder of ram.
- And your may want a little more to be sure and for other things; monitroting software agents, em etc.
In order that you can use more virtual memoy than you have physical memory for your will porably want to add a swap file, and for a 16GB machine this would probably be 4 / 8 or perhaps up to 16GB depending if would will occasionally have higher virutal memory demands or if poeple but big files in /tmp. In general swap -s can be used to monitor a shortage, though it can foolled if zfs_arc_cache is not limited.
The situation for zones not different unless you are using zone.max-swap and the physical capped memory.
If you have zone with a physical capped memory of 5GB, and a zone.max-swap of 8GB with is af the zone has a swapfile of 3GB; and you have to make sure:
- The global zone is able to give that amount of memory to the non-global zone.
- The global zone can provider the zone.max.swap from its virutal memory.
- That the sga+pga and /tmp usage and other will fit in zone.max-swap ... use swap -s in the zone to monitor.

Installation problem on Solaris 10

Dear All,
We are trying to install j2sdk 1.4.2_13 on solaris server zone. I have downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin
But when I try to execute this:

It gives me error: The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag
Tried with -console:

Dear Siddhesh,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried using X Manager GUI for my Solaris. But when I double click the j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin file to run it, it simply denies saying:
The filename "j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin" indicates that this file is of type "Unknown type". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "Shell script". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "Shell script", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.
Also /tmp has full authorizations:
drwxrwxrwt 7 root sys 557 Jun 24 08:34 tmp
I dont have Hummingbird for X11 forwarding with this client. Do I have any other option??

New to Solaris, Some Samba and NTFS issues.

Hi Im new to solaris and trying out ZFS which has been great.
Im haivng some trouble that I cant find up to date info on so here goes:
First how do you mount an NTFS volume in Solaris 11 Express?

Looks like the failure that you are having is when the install program is trying to copy the PNP moniter spec from the /tmp location to the /etc location. May be for some reason the edidgen.vda never got created in the first place.
Can you please mention the version of Solaris 8 you are installing and if you have a plug and play monitor.

Gavin,
Glad you're sorted. Can you confirm that it is 4.10.903 you are using
(not 4.00.903)? I'm concerned if this installation problem is still
present in the later version.

Bill - that seems to have done the trick! the installation is now running.
Thanks so much for this.I am running a pair of Sun Ray 170's on my desk
here at home mated to an E220R. I am hoping to use Tarantella to be able
to access and run apps on a win3k server in the same rack.

Gavin,
This looks like a known problem with TTA 4.00.903 and some Solaris
patches which were distributed at about the same time. However, you say
you're using 4.10.903, and as far as I know the problem should be fixed
in that version.
You could try the workaround described in
http://www.tarantella.com/documentation/sgd/ee/4.0/install.html - search
for "tta_pkgadd" on that page and follow the instructions given there.
