Using vn_make_ops in Solaris 10

The vnode.h file provided with Solaris 10 provides a new function, vn_make_ops, and recommends using it to create vnodeops structs. There is no explanation given as to how vn_make_ops is supposed to be used. All of my attempts to use it have resulted in kernel crashes. Anyone have any insight/suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Peter - thanks for your reply.
I had already tried including the full path to srcore in AccessKeyMouseEvents (apologies for not mentioning this before) and still no luck.
I've just now re-verified that I made the correct changes as outlined in the JDS3 accessibility guide. My AccessKeyMouseEvents line is:
<Control>s 1 1000 1000 /usr/sfw/bin/srcore login disable-magnifier enable-speech enable-braille
(it is all on one line)
Any other suggestions?
Is there a way I can determine (via a non graphical method) whether the proper modules are being loaded by gdm?
Thanks,

Using emacs on solaris 10

Hi,
Does anybody know how can i use emacs on solaris 10
i tried to type
emacs
from a shell, but it responds me with
emacs: command not found
when i install solaris 10, is emacs installed by default or i have to
install it by myself?
I am very new to solaris, can anybody help me?
thank you in advance.

Emacs 21.3 is part of the Solaris10 Companion CD.
The CD image is available for download on the Solaris10 download site.
Various versions of Emacs are also available as individual downloads ( pkg-add ) from the Sun Freeware site, as well as, a number of other sites that support the Sun OSes. ................John.

How to use rsync on Solaris 10

I have set up rsync to run as a daemon on 2 Solaris 10 servers
rsync --daemon
with a /etc/rsyncd.conf file of
motd file = /etc/motd
max connections = 5
syslog facility = local3
[ftp]
comment = ftp area
path = /
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
[tmp]
comment = temporary file area
path = /tmp
read only = yes
list = yes
host allow = l3sun l4sun
auth users = root
when I execute
rsync -vrzt l3:/usr/ptraq/man /usr/ptraq/man
it gives the following:
The authenticity of host 'l3 (89.1.20.13)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 45:e6:23:88:42:7f:a6:9f:55:b4:43:ba:1c:1d:90:45.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
Any ideas as to how to use rsync on Solaris 10

When given a file source lie l3:/usr/ptraq/man with one colon (:) ssh attempts to connect using ssh.
If you want to connect to the rsync daemon, you need to give 2 colons l3::/usr/ptraq/man.
Your other alternative is to setup ssh keys so you can log in without a password and then you won't have to run rsync in daemon mode at all.

Question for using ORACLE with SOLARIS

Hi Experts,
I have worked Oracle with Linux in one of my projects 2yrs back and i was just a developer, used to write SQL Query, Creating Table and Objects.
Now i got a question from TL which is
Tell me about consequences for using Oracle with Solaris?
I am not worked ORACLE with SOLARIS, Can some one give me the answer for this question with
1. Difference between ORACLE with LINUX and ORACLE with SOLARIS.
2. Advantages and Disadvantages Between ORACLE with LINUX and ORACLE with SOLARIS.
Thanks,
MuraliDharan V

Hi MuraliDharan V,
It would had been better if you had searched first;
Here is one
Advantage for Linux64-bit Versus Solaris-x86_64 OS in RAC
And beside that your question is incomplete:
-What Oracle? Database, etc
-Which Version? 9i, 10g, etc
Aside from that a simple search on google might have answered your question as well.
But I think there is some new trend of dumping questions here before searching.

Using Accessibility in Solaris 10

Hello,
I've installed Solaris 10 03/05 and am attempting to use the included Accessibility (explicitly the gnopernicus screen reader with Gnome). I have followed the instructions in the Java Desktop System Release 3 Accessibility Guide (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7307) RE: changing the GDM greeter, sym linking the two jar files (enabling accessibility), defining a line in AccessKeyMouseEvents to run srcore when pressing CTRL-s, but there's still something I'm missing, as pressing CTRL-s at the login screen, or once logged in, produces nothing.
I've also tried logging in, and as I can not use X at all, login in a second time via SSH, setting my DISPLAY variable, and running srcore and (for something to try) gnopernicus manually from the SSH window - I get messages in the SSH window about speech access initialization succeeding, but no speech.
My sound card is detected by Solaris (no 3rd party drivers required) and I can play audio with audioplay. I've looked in logs (syslog, xorg) but found nothing that appears to be related to this issue.
I'm wondering whether anyone here has more experience with this than I (undoubtedly) and has a suggestion?
Some things I've thought to try, but have not yet found enough info about, include:
1. Perhaps sound needs to be turned on in Gnome first - can this be done without using the GUI? I've read about the sound-properties application but it requires use of X.
2. Perhaps FreeTTS (or what default synthesizer is gnopernicus wanting to use?) is not installed? I installed the full Solaris 10 distribution and the companion CD.
Thanks very much for your time and patience - it'd be great to try the accessible desktop out, I've gotten this to work under Linux a while back, but it's nice that Sun is bundling it with the OS.

How can multiple versions of the appserver be used on a Solaris server...

You can use the file-based versions of the Sun Java System Application Server to be co-located with any packaged based version or other file based version(s). The file based version is a full set of appserver components that reside under an install root.
You can download the latest file based version of SJSAS 8.1 from SunSolve. We release updates to the file based version as a fully installable patch. The documentation for the current latest version, SJSAS 8.1 UR2 is located at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1310.2
The patch you retrieve is based on the OS:
File-based AS 8.1 patches:
119169: Solaris SPARC SE/EE
119170: Solaris x86 SE/EE
119171: Linux RHEL2.1 RHEL3.0 SE/EE
119173: Solaris SPARC PE
119174: Solaris x86 PE
119175: Linux RHEL2.1 RHEL3.0 PE
119176: Windows 2000/XP PE
Please note that the file-based patch actually contains the full installer bundle of AS 8.1
It is best to use the latest version of the patch ids listed above, which can be download from http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
If wrote the specifics of the patches in a forum item located at http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=114&threadID=57331.

We worked with one of their partners gssinfotech to create a custom runbook for "upgrade in place"
I think you might have to go to SQL2012 with 6.2.1 (there's a ton of benefits like always on that make BCP/DR with Tidal very smooth.) We've been Tidal 6 /SQL2012 for a while now so I forget. we're about 80% done with our 5.3.1 conversion
We restore our 5.3.1 admiral database to a sandbox SQL2012 server, run some cleanup script (if not upgrade in place, don't forget to set queue to zero and disable all jobs)
We installed a tidal Master then run every major rev and point to that database. (6.0,6.1,6.2,6.2 sp1)
The database gets upgraded during the process (we have some trouble with our "older" 531 so we do the same thing each time)
We then can use transporter to transport "legacy" 531 jobs to our pristine Tidal 6.2.1 (non-prod ) environment so we can take advantage of mapping files, etc. to switch things as needed
This gives a lot of flexibility to moving things in when one piece or job set at a time.. we use it to move job frameworks into nonprod Tidal 6 so that developers and other groups can review / asses / rewrite / test / their jobs on tidal 6.

OK to use fdisk/100% "SOLARIS System" partition for RAID6 Virtual Drive?

Solaris newb, here - I am configuring an x4270 with 16 135 GB drives. Basic approach is
D0, D1: RAID 1 (Boot volume, Solaris, Oracle Software)
D2-D13: RAID 6 (Oracle dB files)
D14, D15: global spares
After configuring the RAID's w/WebBIOS Utility, I am now trying to format/partition the RAID 6 Virtual Drive, which shows up as 1.327 TB 'Optimal' in the MegaRAID Storage Manager. After hunting around the ether for advice on how to do this, I came across http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1459/disksxadd-50.html#disksxadd-54639
"Creating a Solaris fdisk Partition That Spans the Entire Drive"
which is painfully simple: after 'format', just do an 'fdisk' and accept the default 100% "SOLARIS System" partition. After doing this, partition>print and prtvtoc show this:

First off, RAID-5 or RAID-6 is fine for database performance unless you have some REALLY strict and REALLY astronomical performance requirements. Requirements that someone with lots of money is willing to pay to meet.
You're running a single small x86 box with only onboard storage.
So no, you're not operating in that type of environment.
Here's what I'd do, based upon a whole lot of experience with Solaris 10 and not so much with Solaris 11, and also assuming this box is going to be around for a good long time as an Oracle DB server:
1. Don't use SVM for your boot drives. Use the onboard RAID controller to make TWO 2-disk RAID-1 mirrors. Use these for TWO ZFS root pools. Why two? Because if you use live upgrade to patch the OS, you want to create a new boot environment in a separate ZFS pool. If you use live upgrade to create new boot environments in the same ZFS pool, you wind up with a ZFS clone/snapshot hell. If you use two separate root pools, each new boot environment is a pool-to-pool actual copy that gets patched, so there are no ZFS snapshot/clone dependencies between the boot environments. Those snapshot/clone dependencies can cause a lot of problems with full disk drives if you wind up with a string of boot environments, and at best they can be a complete pain in the buttocks to clean up - assuming live upgrade doesn't mess up the clones/snapshots so badly you CAN'T clean them up (yeah, it has been known to do just that...). You do your first install with a ZFS rpool, then create rpool2 on the other mirror. Each time you do an lucreate to create a new boot environment from the current boot environment, create the new boot environment in the rpool that ISN'T the one the current boot environment is located in. That makes for ZERO ZFS dependencies between boot environments (at least in Solaris 10. Although with separate rpools, I don't see how that could change....), and there's no software written that can screw up a dependency that doesn't exist.
2. Create a third RAID-1 mirror either with the onboard RAID controller or ZFS, Use those two drives for home directories. You do NOT want home directories located on an rpool within a live upgrade boot environment. If you put home directories inside a live upgrade boot environment, 1) that can be a LOT of data that gets copied, 2) if you have to revert back to an old boot environment because the latest OS patches broke something, you'll also revert every user's home directory back.
3. That leaves you 10 drives for a RAID-6 array for DB data. 8 data and two parity. Perfect. I'd use the onboard RAID controller if it supports RAID-6, otherwise I'd use ZFS and not bother with SVM.
This also assumes you'd be pretty prompt in replacing any failed disks as there are no global spares. If there would be significant time before you'd even know you had a failed disk (days or weeks), let alone getting them replaced, I'd rethink that. In that case, if there were space I'd probably put home directories in the 10-disk RAID-6 drive, using ZFS to limit how big that ZFS file system could get. Then use the two drives freed up for spares.
But if you're prompt in recognizing failed drives and getting them replaced, you probably don't need to do that. Although you might want to just for peace of mind if you do have the space in the RAID-6 pool.
And yes, using four total disks for two OS root ZFS pools seems like overkill. But you'll be happy when four years from now you've had no problems doing OS upgrades when necessary, with minimal downtime needed for patching, and with the ability to revert to a previous OS patch level with a simple "luactivate BENAME; init 6" command.
If you have two or more of these machines set up like that in a cluster with Oracle data on shared storage you could then do OS patching and upgrades with zero database downtime. Use lucreate to make new boot envs on each cluster member, update each new boot env, then do rolling "luactivate BENAME; init 6" reboots on each server, moving on to the next server after the previous one is back and fully operational after its reboot to a new boot environment.

Coredump on using mtmalloc on Solaris 8

Hi ,
We are trying to use mtmalloc with our application to compare
the performance with other allocators.
The tests go through fine on Solaris 9m, but coredumps immediately
on Solaris 8 in a free call.
Can you point out the differences in the mtmalloc between solaris 8 and 9
that can be helpful to resolve this issue.
Any pointers would be really helpful.
regards,
Johar

Johar,
1. Before you start with the tests patch your OS with the latest patch cluster
http://patchpro.sun.com/
"Solaris Recommended Patch Cluster"
2. Are you running a binary compiled on Solaris 9 on Solaris 8?
3. To level the playground you should use the new 1 to 1 thread model in Solaris 8
which is not the default thread model (unfortunately).
4. See thread 16910 in this forum
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=4&thread=16910

How to use VNC for Solaris 10

Hello, I am completely green when it comes to Unix / Solaris. I am trying to use VNC from the Solaris 10 Companion DVD. I have it installed. I followed the easy to use steps from this site : http://www.salixtraining.co.uk/index_files/vncsol10.htm
But the problem is I don't know how to use it now that I have it installed.
What I am tring to do is install an e-ticketing software program on my test Solaris server and I am stuck on getting PHP to work correctly and I am trying get the company, whose product I am trying to use, to connect to my server to investigate. I want them to be able to remote connect to and be able to see and access the server to see if they can help.
Can anyone help? I really need step by step instructions. Assume that I don't know anything!
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

Hello, here are the instructions I follow to install VNC on my systems running Solaris Express, you may use this to your own install, I dont use the one included on the companion CD, I download the one from RealVNC instead, I hope this helps:
VNC
INSTALL VNC (RealVNC) 4.1.2 - Solaris Express 11 b71 Sparc
a)
File to use: �vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz�
#gunzip vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz
#tar �xvf vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar
#cd vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris
b)
Install it by running:
# ./vncinstall /usr/bin /usr/share/man
               Note: this will also install man pages into �/usr/share/man/man1�
If you want to use the Java VNC viewer (Open browser and type pc_name:display#):
Copy the files from the java directory to some suitable installation directory
such as /usr/local/vnc/classes (vncserver will read this path!- don�t change it):
# mkdir -p /usr/local/vnc/classes
# cp java/* /usr/local/vnc/classes
c)
Add these 2 lines to .profile (under the user)- (This will make it to connect always with screen 1):
vncserver -kill :1
vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768 (or any other combination you want like 1280x1024,etc)
note: dont use it if you want to have a different screen to connect everytime.
d)
Create a /.vnc directory first, we will create the xstartup file inside:
file /.vnc/xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
# xrdb $HOME/.Xresources      < This line Not really needed!! >
xsetroot -solid grey
gnome-session          <add selection for KDE or CDE if needed see bellow notes>
** Here is How to Create the �xstartup� file:
echo "#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
#/usr/dt/bin/dtsession CDE < CDE, gnome or sessions: >
#gnome-session Gnome < comment with '#' the one you don't >
< want to use. >
" > xstartup
# chmod 744 xstartup To make it executable!.
*** Sample used for the user: (use the same file for the other users) �it will be created
the first time using it, just change it/add to the following sample:
First time to login will ask to create a password or
Run /export/home/�name�/.vnc/passwd (to add password to login)
You may need to change ownership on the following 3 if you create them under different user:
/.vnc folder
/.vnc/xstartup
/.vnc/passwd
using #chown -name- .vnc (xstartup and passwd)
To check process for VNC running:
# ps -ef | grep Xvnc
To stop the process:
# kill pid# (stop it hard way)
kill display:
#vncserver -kill :#
to connect from another system just type the hostIP:screen#, e.g. 192.168.1.20:1

Creating simple shared library using gcc under Solaris 10

Hi All:
I apologize if this is too newbie a question but have seen nothing that works for me yet.
I'm trying to create a shared library that contains a single object file using gcc (as installed on Solaris 10). I compiled the source code as follows:
gcc -c -fPIC x.cpp -o x.o
and got the x.o object file created and readable.
I then tried (from sample code on line):
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libMyLib.so.1 -o libMyLib.so.1.0.1 x.o
and get the following errors:
ld: warning: option -o appears more than once, first setting taken
ld: fatal: file libMyLib.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to x.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

-soname is a GNU ld option. Use -h instead.
NB:
- you should use g++ not gcc to compile C++ code
- this forum is about the Oracle C++ compiler, not gcc. With it, you would do:
CC -c -KPIC x.cpp
CC -G -h libMyLib.so.1 -o libMyLib.so.1.0.1 x.o

Using MD5 on Solaris 8

Is there anyway to use a files content as input for the md5-sparc command?
For example: ls -Rap /usr/bin > test and then use the test file to run the md5-sparc to assign signatures to the files located in the test file.

Not sure how this relates to zones, but something like should do it:
find . -type f -print | xargs md5sumDoes Sun ship an md5 command on Solaris now? I've had my own private copy in my personal "bin" directory since 2.6 or before so I haven't really paid any attention...

Problem to connect to mdb using java on solaris 10

hello I'm trying to connect to my mdb using the code below
String database = "/export/home/test.mdb"; String url = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)};DBQ="+ database+ ";DriverID=22;READONLY=false"; try { Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } finally { if (conn != null) { try { conn.close (); } catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ } } }
the javac returns no errors, but when I'm trying to run the program "null" is printed ( I think that is the e.getMessage). I supose that conn is null and I don't know why. I'm sure that test.mdb exists and it is located to /export/home. I think the problem is that I haven't install an odbc driver on solaris for mdb I don't know where to find it (if anyone can give me a link !!!), but I'm not so sure if this is the problem.
help me please
thanks in advance.

Joe, I know that you are a skeptic, and need proof for everything said. I heard about the demise of Access, or more correctly the database most frequently associated with the Access front end, JET, several years ago from a Microsoft employee. Yet it is still here.
There is plenty of documentation online about this. Here's just one example: http://www.answers.com/topic/microsoft-jet-database-engine?cat=technology. MS themselves are rather less clear.
That link would suggest that MS Access 2007 is not in fact SQL Server.
MS has been trying for at least 5 years to wean its users off Access-JET and onto one flavour or another of SQL/Server. I'm a Microsoft Partner and see their marketing on a regular basis. Access is rarely mentioned and SQL Server is a hot topic. Note that most MS/Office applications, such as Outlook now use SQL/Server.Ok.
However marketing is different than technology. In terms of that I can only note that I don't see Bob on my desktop.
And Office 2007 is still using Access (which apparently is not SQL Server according to what you posted.)
Conversely, for example, Microsoft has specifically announced that FoxPro will no longer be supported.
Thus I am still looking for something that would suggest that either it is SQL Server right now (2007) or that it shortly will be - like perhaps the beta for the next version is.
And I can only note that some of the stuff that Access does would be difficult to seamlessly do via SQL Server. The article that you posted suggests that upgrades from MS Access exist but that those can lose functionality that will require manual work to replace. Thus if MS did decide to replace Access in Office with SQL Server they would need to come up with a solution for that or risk people not upgrading.
I am not claiming that this can't happen but rather that I question whether it is relevant to suggest that it anything of concern in the near future (especially for an app that is targeting it anyways.)

The home is not mounted using NIS on Solaris 10

Hi,
In a system with Solaris 10 - Sparc , when I do : " su - nomeuser" the home is not mounted an I obtain the message:
"su: Unknown id: nomeuser"
but if I do "ypcat passwd | grep nomeuser" I obtain the information about "nomeuser" .
Anyone have any idea which could be the problem ?
Thank you in advance,
Luz

Thanks for your answer,
Yes I use the NIS, but I had forgot to see the file nisswitch.conf , and there wasn't the entry "fnis" for look up :
passwd: files nis
I inserted the entry "nis" in the file for passwd, hosts, networks, protocols,rpc, etc.
Now when I did "su - nomeuser" I obtained the message:
su: No directory !
The directoy is not mounted.
How I remebered that I haven't done restart of network's process then I did reboot of machine, but after that the network didn't work more.
Then I copied the file /etc/nsswitch.nis in nsswitch.conf and add the entry dns a "hosts" ===> hosts: files dns nis
And now work :-) ,
Many thanks again,
Luz Marina

Anyone successfully used mirrormount on Solaris 10 5/08?

Hi All,
Sun claimed that Solaris 10 5/08 support mirrormounts on nfs4 client.
However, I cannot make it work.
I tried the same think on Redhat Linux 4 and it works fine.
Can anybody tell me how to enable mirrormount support on Solaris 10?
Thanks,

Memory leak using pthreads on Solaris 7

I'm on Solaris 7
uname -a:
SunOS zelda 5.7 Generic_106541-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
compiling with g++ (2.95.2)
purify 5.2
I consistently get memory leaks related (apparently)
to the pthreads lib. I've set the error reporting chain length to 30 (way big), the start of the chain in every case starts with threadstart [ libthread.so.1 ]
when I end my process, I Join the threads before deleting them. What else can I do to get rid of these leaks?
thanks,
rich

is it worth upgrading to a 64 bit OS with more ram.
Well you're talking a fairly hefty investment in fact your best bets buying a new machine at that point since the motherboard would need to be upgraded as well as memory and OS.
Now I run on a 64 bit OS 12 gigs of ram, but i love my plug-ins, and most are 32 bit, so you would still be using the 32 bit Photoshop if you want the majority of all plugins for photoshop to work. Well while the 32 bit version still have the memory limitations on how much memory it can use, Because its in the 64 bit OS, you have available the full amount of that limitation available to the application.
I can run several different memory intensive applications at one time and normally not have an issue. I say normally cause, sometimes i will crash my graphics driver if i open one too many 3d apps hooked into the Nvidia drivers.
I normally only reboot maybe once a week.
So in short, would it help you to be able to go 64 bit with more ram, Most Certainly even more so if you could care less about plug-ins and want to use the 64 bit version. should you go to 16 gigs of ram.. That depends on your budget really,
Personally I always plan to upgrade when I build my systems, Putting in the largest chips you can with out filling all the slots leaving room for upgrading if needed. that way you're not filling all your slots with cheaper lower memory ram that you would have to replace them all to upgrade.
Hope this helps a bit
