TV Tuner on solaris

Hi,
Is there was I can wathc TV on my solaris -10 on x86. I have a PCTV Stereo tuner. I have a solaris box working fine. But I had to switch to windows sometimes if I want to wathc TV. Is there any driver/application for TV Tuners on Solaris 10.
Thanks

Tested on SPARC and x86 with Winfast TV 2000 XP and Jetway PCI TV. I think your tuner should work also.

What is the resource control corresponding to each kernel parameter

Hi
I am trying to prepare (i.e. tune) a Solaris 10 instance for an Oracle 10g install using a Solaris 10 project.
I am new to using Solaris 10 project resource controls so I might get some of this totally wrong.
I know all of the "old" kernel parameter names: what each represents and its' required value and I know some of the corresponding resource controls but not all of them.
That is I do not know the resource control corresponding to each and all of the kernel parameters.
e.g. I know:
semsys:seminfo_semmsl == process.max-sem-nsems == The maximum number of sempahores that can be in one semaphore set
shmsys:shminfo_shmmax == project.max-shm-memory == The maximum size(in bytes) of a single shared memory segment
shmsys:shminfo_shmmni == project.max-shm-ids == The number of shared memory identifiers
But I do not know, for example, what resource control corresponds to:
semsys:seminfo_semmns == The number of semaphores in the system
Is there a list somewhere of the resource control corresponding to each of the kernel parameters ?
I know I can set some kernel parameters in /etc/system but that should only be used for system - wide kernel parameters, right ?
I know there are project, process, task and zone classes of resource controls.
Can a resource control of any and all of these types be set in a project ?
Are zone resource controls equivalent to system-wide resource controls ?
Are there corresponding resource controls to all kernel parameters e.g. such as noexec_user_stack ?
I have set noexec_user_stack in /etc/system.
And finally - just to be sure - using a project makes the resource control values permanent, right ?
Thanks
Brett.

Network equal load balance

Hello all
I need some help, with using quagga and multipath.
I have Solaris 9 server with stable quagga 0.98.6 and 2 equal routes to one
network. I have both of these routes in routing table, but the Solaris use
only first one for traffic. I would like to share traffic. If I have them in
routing table I suppose the quagga work is done, and now I need tune the
Solaris OS/kernel?
Does anybody have any idea, how to reach it?
Best regards, Agp

My questions is how to I setup the 2 network interface cards to act as one and load balance the traffic accross both interfaces?
This is simple link aggregation in System Preferences -> Network
Click the + button at the bottom and choose new Link Aggregate. Choose the existing interfaces (presumably en0 and en1) and you're set.
Note that this requires support in the switch the server is connected to (it needs to support LACP), and that you will bounce your network connection when you set this up (so don't do it when the server is actively servicing clients)
also I was wondering if it was possible to fail over AFP services, so if one server went down the other would pickup file services where it left off?
It's possible, but you need to be very careful with regards to data integrity. For example, typically each server is going to have a local directory (or directories) that are shared. If Server A fails and Server B takes over, how do you intend to ensure that Server B's data is up-to-date, especially with regard to files that might have been in use at the time?
It's a tricky problem to solve without putting the data on a shared storage device using something like XSAN to manage arbitration, and now you could be talking serious $$$s.
I'd recommend looking closely at your file serving needs and work out if it's necessary, or whether you could get by with dividing the load across servers (e.g. some sharepoints are on one server, other sharepoints on the other) so that only a subset of your users are impacted should one server fail.
File synchronization/replication is a major issue (read $$$$$) for a lot of companies.

In Solaris 10 you can tune it by setting 'segmap_percent' in /etc/system, i can imagine its doable in Solaris 8 as well.

Performance tuning in Solaris 10

I am newbie to Solaris,
I wanna ask is there any command / tool to fine tune Solaris 10, e.g. cpu, memory, hd usage ?

There is interesting info at [Solaris Internals|http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/Solaris_Internals] .
have a good day,

On Sun fire v490 - Solaris 10 with Oracle 8.1.7.4 & Sybase 12.0

Hi,
We are going to upgrade our server with this configuration -
Sun Fire V490     2 x 1.05 GHz UltraSPARC IV CPU
8096MB RAM     2 x73GB local disk
2x FC 2GB Sun/QLogic HBAs
DAT72
On one machine we will have Sun Solaris v10 with
Oracle DB v8.1.7.4 & Second one will be Sun Solaris v10 with Sybase DB v12.0.0.6.
Now our question is - Sun fire have Hyper-thread CPUs �� will the O/S and databases (Oracle and Sybase) view the proposed system as a true 4 CPU platform? Will parameters used to tune the database such as Sybase max online engines still operate in the same manner as before?
Our old machine configuration was - Sun E450     4x400MHz CPU     1024MB RAM     2 x18; 8x36GB disks

Questions on Oracle and Sybase should be directed to a database forum, this forum is for Sun hardware support.
Here is a link to a DB forum I look at from time to time:
http://www.dbforums.com/index.php
The topic of tuning Oracle or Solaris is way beyond the scope of this forum, I have attempted to go into it before but didn't get any feedback and I would only like to spend lots of time on it if I was being paid!!! On the memory side, keep in mind that Oracle 9i 64-bit can address a maximum of 2 ^ 64 ( 16777216 TB ) memory, prior to that the DBA had to define memory parameters in init.ora. To be honest the last time I worked with a Oracle 8 database I shut a HP K class server down permanently that had been migrated to Oracle 9i on Solaris by an Oracle consultant and I can't remember all the tuning trick etc.

How can I fine tune the performance of my IMS5.1 mailserver?

I installed the IMS5.1 on Solaris 8 with default parameters, without IDA. It is used as a mail relay. It seems to have/keep about 700 msgs in the tcp_local channel but none in the process channel. It uses the cpu very much, in my opinion too much (100% is no exception. It uses the swap file for only 30%. How can I tune the performance of my system. Don't laugh: the "server" is only a SUN Ultra 5 workstation.

I've been working with this MTA since '95. Unfortunately there is no easy answer. The number of msgs in queue is not an indication of performance, it can be, but it can also be that the hosts your system is trying to reach are not available. You can use tools like imsimta qtop to see top subjects or top domains. Poke around and see just why you have 700 msgs in your queues.
Channels like process or say conversion channel are internal while channnels like tcp_local deal with external systems. If you had mail backing up in the conversion channel then you'd have a good sign of local performance problems. Mail backing up in tcp_local is not necessarily a sign of performance problems on your end.
I don't see a problem with the software using all available CPU. What is wrong with that?
If you've made any changes to the configuration it could be that you have introduced something that is causing say a mapping process to loop and thus eat more CPU that would otherwise be normal.
What process is using all of this CPU? Knowing this would help to determine what part of the MTA might be using lots of CPU.

Issue:Oracle 8.1.6 running on solaris 9

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade OS version to 9 and DB Version from 8.1.6 to 10.2.0.2 on our Production Box using exp / imp method. In this effort, we will be doing OS upgrade first and will be doing db upgrade after a couple of days.
Are there any issues if the Database version 8.1.6 running on Solaris 9.
Thanx,
KarthicK

Possibly that it can't be done so you need to check that out. My recollection was that you had to be at 8.1.7.4.
Personally I'd install the o/s on a different server, create a nice clean database, and then move the data. Servers are inexpensive and doing this you will likely inherit a boat load of legacy stuff that will cause many many headaches.
Also do not expect any code written last millenium for 8.1.6 to perform well. You should do this first on a test box, several times, and then use it to tune your code.
If you are planning to do this, no testing, on your production box make sure you have a pillow and blanket to bring into work. Oh and a really solid cold backup of the entire system that you have proven will work. You'll need that too.

Solaris 8 10/01 installation aborts

Hello!
I'm sorry if this question is asked once again, but I was not able to
find a solution for this problem after searching forums, web and google news.
I'm trying to install Solaris 8 10/01 on this machine:
AMD Thunderbird 1200
396Mb RAM
ABIT KT7A, bios level 4A
IDE0
-IBM (~9GB) - master
-HITACHI (~120GB) - slave
IDE1
-CDRW TEAC CD-W58E
Matrox G200
Realtek 8029 (NE2000 compatible) eth card.
The CDs are correctly written (on the same CDRW drive reading them),
there is no problem reading back the data.
I've tried to install booting from CD1 or the DCA diskette.
It shows a ACPI-nonACPI device conflict (seems from other posts that
it's ignorable).
I have three choices for booting:
DISK TARGET 0 (the IBM) OnBoard PCI bus 0 dev 7 func 1
DISK TARGET 1 (the Hitachi) OnBoard PCI bus 0 dev 7 func 1
CD TARGET 0 (the TEAC) OnBoard PCI bus 0 dev 7 func 1
All three have "bus 0 dev 7 func 1". The IBM disk drive and the CD have the same
target ( 0 ).
It silenly reboots soon after choosing any of the two options
(Interactive or JumpStart).
After digging a little on google/news, I found out the "b kabd -v"
option that allows me have some output.
It seem to recognize correctly the CD drive, but it panics after that.
Some info from the last visible screen (with the degugger):
ata_init_drive_pciide = dma_disabled
ATAPI device at targ 0, lun 1 , lastlun 0x0
model CD-W58E ...various CD drive details (seems correctly identified)...
PCI device ide@1, ata1
ata1 is /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@1
sd0 at ata1 : target 0, lun 0
sd0 is /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@1/sd@0,0:a fstype ufs
panic[cpu0]/thread=fec17540 : vfs_mountroot : cannot mount root
fec12bdc genunix : vfs_mountroot + 5c (fec0974c fec0103c)
fec12bec genunix main+78()
stopped at int20 + 0xb : ret
I've tried various combinations of:
-UDMA enabled/disabled (BIOS)
-1 or both HDDs installed in different combinations with the
-CDROM drive (the jumpers changed accordingly)
-safe defaults for BIOS setup
-slowed down clock (900MHz). "Native"=1.2GHz, never overclocked
-enabled-dma boot param (can't remember exact name) 0 or 1
-acpi-user-options = 0x2 (targeting the ACPI problem, not sure if of
any use)
-all unused HW out (TV Tuner, soundcard, )
Same result.
I have no problems running Slackware and OS/2 on the same hardware.
I had no problems running in the past Win2000 on this machine.
Any idea/solution?
I can post more details concerning the hardware if that's of any use.
Thank you!
Regards,
Radu

Try to find a good old cdrom device (or maybe a dvdrom) and use that as the boot device instead of
the cdrw drive. Don't know what the problem is with solaris x86 and (certain) cdrw drives, but
apparently there is some problem with them because you're not the first user with this problem.

Seachring thru Sun-Tuning docs I found following kernel-parameters for Filedescriptor tuning
rlim_fd_cur and rlim_fd_max

With setting parameter rlim_fd_cur up to 1024 in /etc/systems I tried to tune Tomcat behavior.
Are there any known but unfortunately not documented Best-Practise kernel-parameter settings for CiscoWorks LMS 4.1

I have had this 3 times with LMS 3.2 installed on solaris 9.
I am wondering if you DCRDevicePoll service is still running correctly? This is the process that checks for device reachability (ICMP and/or SNMP) of the DCR devices. I found that this process is hanging from time to time and assume that it is interfering with some other process (I think IC polling/collection or Config polling/collecion).
I was unable to get the poll job running again without stop, delete and recreate it.
Have you observed simmilar issues with the poll job while the "file descriptor" issue was occuring?
btw. ... I doubt that adjusting these parameter will prevent the problem...

Oracle 9.2 i/o activity slow in v880 with solaris 9

          -------------------------------------------------------------       Looks like ADDM is asking for tuning the EXPDP job itself !! The AWR report however shows some bottlenecks in log file sync and streams. I also believe the streams wait event is because of EXPDP itself.
Command used to take EXPDP is as under:
expdp userid=\"/ as sysdba\" directory=dpump_dir_cron full=y dumpfile=$expname logfile=$logexpname parallel=10 filesize=50GPlease advice.
Thanks,

Parallelism is always good as long as you have enough processes and cpu resources. The settings for certain initialization parameters can affect the performance of Data Pump Export and Import. In particular, you can try using the following settings to improve performance, although the effect may not be the same on all platforms.
DISK_ASYNCH_IO=TRUE
DB_BLOCK_CHECKING=FALSE
DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM=FALSE
Additionally, the following initialization parameters must have values set high enough to allow for maximum parallelism:
PROCESSES
SESSIONS
PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS
FOR PARALLELISM ORACLE SAYS
Set the degree of parallelism to two times the number of CPUs, then tune from there. For Data Pump Export, the PARALLEL parameter value should be less than or equal to the number of dump files. For Data Pump Import, the PARALLEL parameter value should not be much larger than the number of files in the dump file set. A PARALLEL greater than one is only available in Enterprise Edition

Solaris 10 recognizes only 18GB out of 73 GB disk

Hello all,
Since this is my first post here, and also, my first official interaction with the solaris community, let me say hello to everyone.. I hope that i will enjoy my stay here :-)
I hope that this question has not been answered here before (although i did find this post, which seamed to deal with a problem similar to mine: http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=271&threadID=23722)
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a Sun v20z AMD64 server. I have two 73GB SCSI disks inside the machine, (LSI logic controller), and i want to install Solaris 10 on one of them, and then put them into a mirror. So far i am stuck at the installation with the problem described in the topic.
The Solaris installer keeps telling me, that the disks are only 18,3GB in size, but they are 73GB in size. Could anyone point me where there could be a problem? I have successfully installed the newest bios and SP on the machine before i started normal intallation...

Hmm, if i recall correctly Solaris saves a certain amount of the root filesystem (and possibly other filesystems) for the root-user, this is made in order to prevent normal users from filling up important filesystems.
I suspect that the root-user still can write to the filesystem, but non-root users cant, right?
I think you can change this behaviour via the 'tunefs' command.
(You can tune a filesystem, but you can't tune a fish).
.7/M.
