Up-gradation of Sun Fire 6800 to Sun Fire E6900 UltraSPARC IV+ Processors

We wanted to upgrade our exisiting two Sun Fire 6800 Servers to Sun FIre E6900 with Ultra SPARC IV+ processors boards and memory only. This, we want to do through Sun UAP uniboard promotion.
So we want to know the compatibility and additional requirement before going a head for this activity ....
Tech specs details mentioned below ....
Existing Sun FIre 6800 Servers Specs ...
Processor : sparcv9 UltraSPARC-III+
Model : Sun Fire 6800
Processor Speed : 900 MHz
RAM : 48 GB
Processor Count : 24
Will be upgraded to Sun FIre E6900 ........
Upgrade to E6900, 12 x 1.8Ghz US IV+ CPU, 96GB Memory.
I want to confirm below queries before placing order with Sun Micro sysytems...
1) Is there requirement for Box change ( Chassis ) or Sun Microsystems will provide it free of cost with this promotional programme ?
2) Is there any need to add more Power supply due to this up-gradation or additional PS will be a part of this kit ?
3) Is there anything left out in our discussion or planning which needs to be added or upgraded to make the solution compatible ?
Please add your valuable inputs for this up-gradation . Quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance ...

Considering the domain name in your email address...
This is far from the first SF6800 your company administers, that's been upgraded.
Having said that, you need to keep in mind that these forums are NOT a venue for techsupport from Sun. They are hosted so that the user community can have general conversations, swap stories, and more.
So, as for your questions:
(1) Contact Sun and ask them for an accurate answer ( and no, the outer chassis does not get swapped ).
(2) Contact Sun and ask them for an accurate answer ( I seem to remember that you must buy whatever PSU's, system controllers, and whatever else may be necessary, in addition to the uniboards ).
(3) I suggest you discuss this plan with your peers in other EDS sites that have already done this. This promotion is not anything new. It seems to be offered every few months or so, since the E6900's first arrived in 2004.
Expect to do a ton of firmware and OS upgrades so that the system can handle the US-IV+ architecture of the new hardware. That will need to be done before the new hardware is inserted to the chassis.

Real Application Cluster on Sun Solaris 8 and Sun Cluster 3

Hello,
we want to install Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition in combination with Oracle Real Application Cluster-Option on 2 Nodes. Every node (12-CPU-SMP-Machine) should running Sun Solaris 8 and Sun Cluster 3 Service.
Does this configuration work with ORAC? I found nowhere informations about. Is there anything I have to pay special attention for during installation?

Problems with xalan migrating from Sun One 7 to Sun One 8.1

Hi!
I'm migrating one application from Sun One 7 to Sun One 8.1, my problem is when I use xalan/xerces to transform XML/XSL appears the following error:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException
I put my xalan/xerces version in my WEB-INF/lib but I think that the problem is that internally the server use its xalan that is a strange version, because in MANIFEST file put 2.6.0 version but I compared with 2.6.0 of xalan and it's different.
How any idea to solve this?
Thanks in advance

As you have an existing portal installation, you will need to have the 9iAS Portal 3.0.8 Upgrade Scripts in order to upgrade to 3.0.8. We expect to have these 3.0.8 upgrade scripts available next week (April 23-27) for download from OTN.
With regards to import/export, Import/Export Utilities currently will ONLY work between portal installations which are at the SAME VERSION LEVEL.
The 3.0.8 upgrade process is an "in-place" upgrade, meaning that it upgrades an existing installation to the 3.0.8 release. You will need to have Portal 3.0.7 on your new box, and then upgrade "in place" to 3.0.8 there. I would advocate also doing a "cold backup" snapshot(backup all database data and log files) of your existing production database files as well.

as corlettk already told you: avoid those API whenever possible.
Regarding your cases:
* SignalHandler: proprietary API, there's not alternative. Use it if you must. Fail gracefully if it isn't there
* Hashtable: seems like you simply picked the wrong one. Use the one in java.util
* Base64 stuff: Plenty of free (BSD licensed) implementations out there, I'm sure there's one in commons-codec as well. Use those instead.

Are SUN StorEdge c2 and Sun Storagetek C2 the same ?

Hello All,
Are SUN StorEdge c2 and Sun Storagetek C2 the same ? or are they 2 different products.
Thanks
Venkat Jupalli

mmmmn, not sure about this one, but I would assume that moving from StorEdge to Storagetek is brand name related and came about from Sun Microsystems' acquisition of StorageTek late '05. Call marketing for more information.

Dose 845PE Max2 FIR support Solaris (Sun OS)?

hi..
Dose 845PE Max2 FIR support Solaris 8 or 9(Sun OS)?
please let me know it..
thank you..

I'm still deciding whether to get the newest Solaris. I have not tried Solaris7 on mine. My guess would be that, if it installs, the onboard sound (may) not work.

Integrate Sun ONE Messaging and Sun ONE Calendar server with Portal 6.0

We need to integrate (implement a Single Sign On solution) Sun ONE/iPlanet Messaging and Calendar servers with Portal 6.0. The Msg and Cal. servers do not use Portal Profile server as their DS and have a different DS.This directory server is the external DS for Portal. After users login to Portal, they should be able to access Msg and Cal. servers without login to them again.
1. How do we do this without writing a java code/servlet ?
2. Is there any way that we could configure DSAME to create the URL,add userID and password to it and forward that URL to above servers ?

Hi,
The SunOne communication providers for version 6.0 will be released soon.
(you can get beta versions from early access program)
Like in the portal version 3.0 these channels
are enabling SSO for messaging and calendar servers.
(I tested them with iMSG5.2 and Calendar5.1.1)
Cheers,
Alex :-)

Sun Crypto accelerator 6000 + Sun One Web Server 6.1

hi,
I want 3des to be the firts of ciphers for clients to utilize my Crypto Accelerator. Also, I want RC4 to be the second one.
But all browsers uses RC4 by default!
This string doesn't work in server.xml, what did i miss?
<SSLPARAMS servercertnickname="Sun Metaslot:Server-Cert" ssl2="off" ssl2ciphers="-desede3,-rc4,-rc4export,-rc2,-rc2export,-des" ssl3="on" tls="on" ssl3tlsciphers="+rsa_3des_sha,+rsa_rc4_128_sha" tlsrollback="on" clientauth="off"/>
Resume: Why I need crypto accelerator if all traffic is RC4 ? :)

You cannot get that behavior.
When an SSL client and server negotiate the connection, the client sends a list of all the cipher suites it supports. From that list the server will pick the most secure cipher suite which it also supports (if the server doesn't support any of the cipher suites proposed by the client, the connection establishment will fail).
RC4 (128bit) is more secure than 3DES (112 bit). Thus, a server will never pick 3DES above RC4_128 if both are valid options (i.e. when both client and server support both). If you really wanted to force use of 3DES you need to disable RC4_128 in the server (or all the clients; or both).

Difference between Sun Studio 12u1 and Sun Studio Express...

Hi,
on my open solaris:
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc
I've installed Sun Studio Express to get the C/C++ compilers. What is the difference with the Sun Studio 12 suite (which is about 200 MB larger than the Express one)? Also I saw there are patches for Sun Studio 12 (last one Jul 20 2009) that might have a fix for a problem I just reported. How can I install such patches?
Patch: http://sunsolve.sun.co.jp/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-126498-14-1
Cheers, Fons.

Studio Express is a pre-release or beta release. Some features may be missing or not functional. It cannot be patched. It can be replaced by a later release.
Sun Studio 12 update 1 is an actual, supported release, later than the most recent (as of this date) Studio Express. If you install SS12u1 from packages (using the installer GUI for example), you can download and install patches for it as they become available. (Installations from a tar file cannot be patched; they can be replaced.)

Tnx!!
Small, but important changes: now working with Cisco ASA 5500 VPN (no more downgrade to 4.0 f/w version), working great with a static IP (no VPN phase 2 hang). For now new firmware connecting throw VPN to corporate SRSS 4.1 without any problem.
Keep testing with OSol 2009.06 (2010.02 /dev). Next step - check new (and VERY VERY important) USB redirection features! Next step - testing within (officially supported) Solaris 10 5/09 - any way, its not so interesting. If it is interesting to somebody and not prohibited by EA Program rules - i'll keep blogging about all-around-new-sunray-software :)
Again, thank you!
