Upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc E2900 server

Hi,
We have a Sparc E2900 server which has Solaris 8 & Veritas Volume Manager 4.0. UFS & VXFS filesystems are under Veritas control.
We are planning to upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.
My questions are as follows
1) Can we upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 directly ?
2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?
3) Which is the best site to get information regarding upgradation ?
Regards,
Tejas J Raval

2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?No, it dows not. If you want to use VxFS you still need to have Veritas products installed on this server

Solaris 8.0 on SUN SPARC 5 machine.

Can i install Solaris 8.0 on SUN SPARC 5 machines ?
Why can't i find it in the hardware compatibility list ?

Hi Solaris 8 is supported for Sparc Station 5 machines and should install just fine. However Solaris 8 is not supported on 4c architecture systems like the Sparc Station 1's and 2's...etc.
You can find a list of supported systems at the following URL:

Question about Sun Sparc T5220 server

Hi all,
I have a Sun Sparc T5220 server with solaris 10 attached to another sun solaris server through its SER port. I can manage the T5220 server by the command "tip" from the other server. There is not any display device attached to the T5220. I would like to know if there is any way i can manage the T5220 server through GUI? is VNC possible?
Thank you!

Use the NET MGT port for remote gui. See here for more info:

SAP Performance Problem with Oracle 10 on Sun SPARC T5240 server

Dear Friends,
We have a performance problem after migrating our SAP ERP 6.0 basis system. We moved to new servers a month ago.
According to SAP EarlyWatchAlert Report, CPU response time is too high, altough CPU utilization is never more than 5%,
The current system is :
Database server : Sun SPARC Enterprise T5240 Server - 2 CPU´s with 6 core, 8 thread, 1.2 Ghz 32 GB RAM
and we use another identical configured server as an application server.
Database is Oracle 10.2.0 and operating system is Solaris 10.
The problem is average CPU response time is 450 ms, and max. CPU load is %5 percent.
Pre-migration configuration with old servers, we had CPU response : 150 ms and max CPU load: 50%.
Old configuration : 2 X HP rp3440, 2 X PA 8800 CPU (2 core, 1.0 GHz).
Have you got any experience with a similar situation, which setting might be wrong for not fully utilizing server CPU´s?
or do you know any similar configuration for benchmark?
Thanks in advance
Uzan

Our organization upgraded an application - The vendor had originally suggested a T2000. When we finally migrated onto it, the performance was worse than the older version of the application. The vendor hadn't yet tested the combination of T2000 and 10.2 with their application when they had made that hardware recommendation, they subsequently revised their recommendations. We ended up with an M4000.
The application performance, IMHO, still stinks. But that's because it's a java based application written for database independence.
The interesting item to note here, is that in the application teams 'selective' testing - everything worked fine. When the testing was extended to include users who didn't follow the 'test plan', they found performance begin to tank. Then with more users, more testing, they found that the T2000 was not going to perform well. The test plan by the apps team was not sufficient to find the issues, and they did not include any load testing!

Sun Java Application Server 8.1 Upgrade Solaris 9 to Solaris 10

I have Sun Java Application Server 8.1 (version 8.1_02 (build b06-fcs) ) and HA which are currently installed on Solaris 9 box (Sparc).
Now, I plan to upgrade Solaris 9 to Solaris 10. What should I need to do before and after migration?
Thanks.

Before I start, disclaimer -- I have no knowledge of Hibernate and the following comments are based on the stack trace you have included.
I think your permissions might be set all right but you might have an error in the hibernate query. It looks like hibernate uses antlr to parse the queries. While parsing the query, antlr is encountering an exceptional condition and is trying to exit the VM (by calling System.exit()). Obviously, the hibernate code does not have that permission and therefore the exception is logged.
My guess is if you fix the query such that hibernate/antlr can parse it, you will not run into this error.
Hope this helps,

Installation of Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc M4000

Hi
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on SUN SPARC M4000.
Here is the error I have:
+Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: /platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix+
+Enter default directory for modules [platform/sun4v/kernel /kernel /usr/kernel]:+
krtld: load_exec: fail to expand cpu/$CPU
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
Program terminated
It seems that version of Solaris I trying to install is not support by the Hardware, when I use another Solaris 10 DVD, it works...
But the problem is that I need to install this Solaris version because others softwares are depending on that.
If someone knows how to make this installation possible, it will be very helpfull.
Thanks in advance.

CD Writer on Sun SPARC under Solaris?

Hello gentlemen,
Does it possible to install (external) CD-Writer as the (external) device (SCSI or USB) on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does anybody use it as a real CD-Writer on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does it work on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
Does it write on Sun SPARC under Solaris?
What /dev/* could I use for CD-Writer?
Some documentation about compatibility of CD-Writers and SPARC/Solaris?
Thanks in advance!

How similar is x86 compared to Solaris 8 or 9 on SPARC?

How similar is x86 compared to Solaris 8 or 9 on SPARC?
Thanks.

Extremely similar. The vast majority of Solaris is built from the same source code for both platforms. You will find all of the same commands in places like /usr/bin and /usr/dt/bin.
Of course, the instruction sets are different. While all of the same commands may exist in those places and they implement the exact same functions with the exact same options, the binary files are different. You can't run x86 binaries on SPARC or vice versa.
While the Solaris binaries provide the exact same functionality, the same is not necessarily true with other packages that can be added. Sun's Java Enterprise System is supposed to eventually have all the same programs for SPARC and x86, and that is almost true already. StarOffice is only available for now for SPARC, but OpenOffice is available for both. Third party software may exist only for one or the other, but this is improving fast. A huge amount of Solaris x86 software can be installed from blastwave.org and other sites.
If you are a developer, there is a good chance that your code for SPARC will work on x86 with just a recompile. The system call APIs are identical. If it does not work with just a recompile, it is because you have a bug in your code or you used non-portable constructs like assuming a particular byte order (SPARC is big endian, x86 is little endian).
Solaris and most SPARC hardware both come from Sun, so of course Solaris supports all the hardware you are likely to find shipped with a SPARC machine. You can buy x86 machines from Sun, but you are likely to look elsewhere. Since Sun does not control what is in the machine, Solaris may not support all the hardware. Again, this situation is getting better. Still, you should consult Sun's Hardware Compatibility List. Note that Sun isn't good about saying this, but Solaris 9 supports all of the hardware in the Solaris 9 list and all of the hardware in the Solaris 8 list. You must look in both places to see what Solaris 9 supports.

Problem with Upgrading Firmware of Solaris 10

I have X4500 running solaris 10 with 5.10 version. The ILOM version is 1.1.1 and I want to upgrade the firmware. I setup the TFTP server on my machine using the following link.
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-7247-10/app_tftp.html
I could install the tftp server and could transfer a file as well. When I use tftp localhost and use get command it works fine. But when I login to my ILOM port and give the IP address of my X4500 machine it say's connection timed out and firmware upgrade failed.
I use load -source tftp://134.197.38.228/ilom.X4500-1.1.8.ima.
Someone please help me with this. I have a problem using Web GUI and I have got only this option to upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Have you upgraded the firmware with correct version number.If the firmware is not correct,you can get the problem like this.
Hard-reset the router for 2 minute,Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now,open the setup page and check.

Solaris Installation question (from sun course)

Hello, I am just learning about solaris from the course WS-2001-S10. I hope this kind of question is fit for this forum...otherwise please direct me to where I can ask about it.
There is a review question at the end of the installation module like this:
Which Solaris 10 OS installation methods are available to perform a standard upgrade?
     Solaris suninstall and Custom Jumpstart
     [x]Solaris suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart
     Solaris Web Start and Custom Jumpstart
Feedback:
     Correct.
The correct answer is 2 but i don't really get it why. In the course they say nothing about Web Start and from what i have read Web Start is just a Web-Based Jump Start installation.
In the course SUN says that "The methods available for a standard upgrade are Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure. "
So "suninstall, Solaris Web Start, and Custom Jumpstart" from the answer equals "Solaris GUI installation, the CLI installation, and the custom JumpStart procedure" from course...
Also from what I understood the jumpstart installation is also CLI ...(totally confused now)
Can someone shed some light on this please?

[http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/806-5205]

You look at the tab Upgrades:
There are 2 steps:
Step 1 - Prior Certification Requirements
Step 2 - Pass Exam
My question 2, is about the Step 1
This relates to to the upgrade path route to Oracle Solaris 11 System Administrator certification.
The key point in your question is how the prior certification requirements "Oracle Certified Professional, Oracle Solaris Administrator or Sun Certified Solaris Administrator - any version" should be interpreted
And in particular is the "Oracle Certified Associate, Oracle Solaris 10 Operating System Certification" (Attained via 1z0-876) included within that.
==== Answer ====
Unfortunately for you the answer is no. However while my providence in this area is excellent I am not authorative and I would recommend it you have any doubt to raise a support call at Oracle University - Support Form subject "Certification Upgrade Path" for a definitive answer.
==== Comments ====
1. I am not entirely happy with the wording: "Oracle Certified Professional, Oracle Solaris Administrator or Sun Certified Solaris Administrator - any version"
It is OK when interpreted as
"Oracle Certified Professional, Oracle Solaris Administrator" ( This clearly does not encompass the Oracle Solaris 10 OCA)
OR
"Sun Certified Solaris Administrator - any version" ( Which essentially Encompasses SCSA 10,9,8,... when the certifications were under sun (and regarded as OCP level by Oracle) ... but not the Sun Certified Solaris Associate SCSAS )
2. OCP Upgrade exams are only from a version at a prior OCP level. This means the training requirement was met at a prior OCP level version or the OCP level was achieved at a previous version before a training requirement was introduced.
(The special exceptions of 1z0-067/1z0-034 have just been introduced for Oracle DBA but these retain a training requirement at the higher version ... nobody would touch attempting these until oracle certification offered free beta vouchers and had the Oracle Certification Help Center besieged by those who missed out!)
3: My understanding is the sun Certified Solaris Associate SCSAS was designed a single exams certification for people wishing a solaris certification not wishing to take on an SCSA and knowing the in's and out of system administrator things like OPENBOOT firmware and backups etc. Things that perhaps say a developer would not need to know. When taking over from Sun as the Certification had Associate in it they felt appropriate to may it to the name "Oracle Certified Associate, Oracle Solaris 10 Operating System Certification". Nowadays it starting from scratch undoubtably that exam would be an OCS certification. For Oracle Solaris 11 System administrator they were able to map the 1z0-821 exam to an OCA and 1z0-822 to an OCP in line with they more typical model.
==================
Hope this Helps ....
