Virtual Server w/Solaris as Host OS

I've got a bunch of Sun Servers (6800's, 6900's) running Solaris 9 that I'd like to turn into Virtual Servers. In other words, make one of my 16 processor 6800's into half a dozen Linux Servers. I'm having problems finding a virtual server product that can use Solaris as the host os. I've looked at Xen and VMware but they only support Linux and Windows as the host. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm an Oracle DBA and this is outside my area of expertise. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Xen does work on OpenSolaris, but it's still pretty beta and I don't think there's any support for older versions of Solaris. Vmware is not (yet) supporting Solaris as host.
You can create BrandZ zones that would support certain distributions (like redhat and centos), but again, that is a Solaris 10 only feature.
The 6800 supports domains onboard, correct? If you had a linux distribution that would boot on the hardware, I would assume that you could load it up that way. I have no idea if any of them support that hardware well.

PROBLEM VIRTUAL SERVER GLASSFISH

Hi I have problems setting up virtual servers, for example my page www.pagina.com
when configuring the virtual server
id = page.com
host = page.com, www.page.com
the problem is that I read the index.html page.com the docroot www.page.com but works well, I read the war and runs it, the problem is when you have no "www"
any idea?
i am from argentina , thanks.

Are you using Web Server or Application Server? If you are using Glassfish Application Server, then please write to Java.net GlassFish Forum located at [http://forums.java.net/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=56|http://forums.java.net/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=56]

Getting ipaddress or host name for virtual server

I want to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server in a cluster environment. If i do
java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
it returns the ipaddress of the physical node currently running virtual server.
Is there any way to get the ipaddress or host name for virtual server ?

You can get the hostname by clicking on the account properties in outlook, but the port you connect to must be opened by your system admin.

Why does my Virtual Server reboots when VM Manager host reboots

I recently discovered that whenever I reboot the physical host where my VM Manager is running, one of my VM servers reboots as well, and thus bring down the VMs running on that server.
The VM server is also the ServerPool Master and Utility Server.
Is this by design?
Here some info abouyt my set up.
I have three physical hosts in my set up. One running the VM Manager, and the other two as the Virtual Servers.
I have configure a private network for them to talk to each other. On the VM Servers, the default gateway and nameserver is set to be the VM Manager host. But I don't have a name server running. The hosts ips are on in the /etc/hosts file.
Thanks.

Otherwise, there should be no interaction between VM Manager and VM Servers. All communication is initiated by the Manager to the ovs-agent on the Server Pool Master. Assuming the VM Manager goes away, the Pool Master will continue to run and monitor the pool.
Can you check the /var/log/messages on the VM Server for any indication about what caused the reboot?

Does any of that have anything to do with java - which is what this forum is for?

Virtual server questions

Hi,
My objective is to create a virtual server for www.anothercompany.com on the same port 80. The instance has by default www.mycompany.com running.
1] While creating the virtual server, I should enter a URL Host. What is this? Should it be www.anothercompany.com or the host where the web server is running on?
2] how to configure each virtual server to have its own server.xml, obj.conf, and other configuration files?
thanks

I recently did this on a solaris system.
Here are the steps:
Get a new IP address for server
Add the additional IP address to system interface
cd /etc
ls /etc/hostname.* (this gives you the type which I will use ## )
edit /etc/hosts to add new IP and name
cp /etc/hostname.## /etc/hostname.##:1
edit /etc/hostname.##:1 to be name in host table
ifconfig ##:1 plumb
ifconfig ##:1 information (IP netmask broadcast etc)
ifconfig ##:1 up
Modify existing webserver so it no longer uses 0.0.0.0
admin console - edit listen sockets
select socket (ls0, ls1, etc)
modify IP from 0.0.0.0 to IP of original webserver
apply changes
Add new webserver specifying new IP address in socket
Since it has a different IP, you can use port 80 without problems

How to restart a virtual server in WS7

Does anybody know host restart a virtual server without restarting the whole instance?
Thanks.

you can run 'bin/reconfig' - this will make any changes (that does not require a restart) available to the running server (this includes all virtual servers configured within this server instance) without requiring a restart - i mean without any downtime
no, there is no way to make dynamic reconfig work only for a single virtual server. but i guess, what you care most is - ability to modify a setting for a virtual server without disturbing other virtual servers - 'bin/reconfig' is probably what u r looking for.

Cannot create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC in Oracle VM 2.2

Dear All,
I try many times to create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC but not get success.
When I created it already and then I start the Power On button, it run normally but the Console button cannot click on (hide). After that the virtual machine running abit then it change status to Powered Off.
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,
Heng

I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

How to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0

hi,
how to assign static ip address to the server having solaris 10. i.e. nge0 i.e. 192.168.3.125 ipshold be persistantt across reboots. what steps do i need to follow to put all information including gateway,netmask etc..Also i want to integrate one init script ..can i integrate it using /etc/init.d/<service name> like linux. and do chkconfig on it?i am not getting complex procedure of SPF and FMRI etc..can u help me?

Create a file in your /etc directory called hostname.nge0. Add the hostname of your system to this file. In your /etc/hosts file, assign the static IP address you want to the same hostname. You can then disable and enable the network-physical service to configure the network interface:
svcadm disable network-physical
svcadm enable network-physical

10gR1 OEM can not verify Solaris 10 host. 10gR2 agent can upload though

Got following error when tried to verify Solaris 10 host.
I have 10gR1 (1.0.3) fresh installation without patch on server 1. Recently I installed 10g R2 agent on a Solaris 10 server 2. The agent can upload data back to the OMS without problem. But after I enter server 2 host credential to verify host connection I got the following error in emoms.log on Sever 1.
"2006-05-31 17:16:49,704 [EMUI_17_05_35_/console/pref/setCredentials$targetType=host] ERROR creds.SetPrefCreds testCreds.1281 - SetPrefCreds.testCreds(): CredsException: Connection to host bcrcxfwwd7p.something.com as user xxxx failed: IOException in sending Request :: Connection timed out"
I can use Secure shell in Solaris to connect to server2 as xxxx directly & do my work.
But somehow I can not verify the host connection from within OEM.
I don't have any problem to use OEM to manage 9 other Solaris 9 hosts and 10g databases. Is Solaris 10 specific problem?
Any suggestions are welcome
Mike

Hang on, are you using a 10.1 oms with a 10.2 agent reporting to it?
If so, thats an unsupported configuration.

Business connector server on Virtual Server

Hi,
Currently our 4.6 release Business Connector servers running on Windows NT Operating system. We would like to upgrade them to BC release 4.7 on Windows 2000 operating system on Virtual servers.
Are there any known issues/disadvantages if we install Business connector servers on Virtual Server rather than a Physical server?
These virtual servers will be in the same domain as that of SAP systems. Host names of the upgraded Virtual servers will be same as the current production BC hosts.
Thanks,
Srini

Technical Data
These functions are:
Changed, new, deleted
For Release
   Software Component
·        Component: SAP Business Connector (external)
·        Release: 4.7
Assignment to Application Component
BC-MID-BUS (SAP Business Connector)
Country Setting
Valid for all countries
Use
The following information provides you with an overview of the new features in SAP BC Release 4.7: It also tells you about incompatible changes that you need to know about before performing an upgrade.
SAP BC 4.7 is based on Integration Server 4.6 from webMethods. However, the SAP BC elements in Integration Server 4.6 have been redeveloped (see below for details).
Features
Additional Functions in SAP BC Developer
As well as SAP BC Administrator GUI, you can now use SAP BC Developer to perform typical development tasks. You do not need administrator authorizations in SAP BC Developer to do this. For example, with SAP BC 4.7 you can use SAP Lookup to generate elements for the Developer. This enables you to gather information about function modules, structures (tables), BAPIs and IDocs in an SAP system, and then generate outbound maps or records for these objects directly.
SAP BC Developer contains a new menu, SAP, which contains the following functions:
·        Look up a function module and generate an outbound map
·        Look up a structure definition and generate a record.
·        Lookup a business object.
·        Look up an IDoc and creating a Record.
·        Browser for Function Maps.
In addition, the Developer now also supports the following actions:
·        Generate an SAP inbound map if you want an SAP system to run a service in SAP BC.
·        Generate an SAP outbound map to execute a function module in an SAP system.
·        Generate a record based on an SAP ABAP Dictionary structure.
·        Generate a record based on an SAP IDoc.
SAP BC Developer now also supports a proxy bypass list. This means that you no longer need to define whether a connection runs through a proxy; instead, the bypass list performs this task.
New Public Services on SAP BC Server
pub.string:gzip
Compresses the specified input string and generates a check total (optional). For measurements or for statistical purposes, the lengths of the zipped and unzipped strings are provided as output.
·        pub.string:ungzip
Decompresses a specified input string, which was compressed with pub.string:gzip, and verifies the check total (optional).
·        pub.string:numericParse
Analyzes a number in accordance with a given number pattern.
·        pub.math:randomLong
Generates a pseudo random number and sends its string representation in a pipeline variable. You can use this number as a universal identifier with an acceptable level of security, as long as it is used in non-distributed scenarios and for a small number of variables.
·        pub.file:head
Shows the start of a given file.
·        pub.file:tail
Shows the end of a given file.
·        pub.flow:sleep
Puts the current service into sleep mode for the specified period (in seconds).
Restructuring of the WmPartners Package
The WmPartners package in SAP BC Server has been completely restructured and now offers the following enhancements:
·        Improved status information in the messages displayed in the Transaction Store and the Audit Log. This solves a range of problems, such as incorrect status information being displayed by IDocs.
·        Improved search and sort options for transactions in the file system of the Message Store. In the Transactions menu, SAP BC Administrator GUI offers you a new option, Message Store Query Settings, which enables you to select and delete transactions. In Release 4.7, the Message Store can also be displayed on separate pages, which makes it easier to edit large numbers of transactions.
·        Improved search and sort options for Routing Rules. In the Routing Rules menu, SAP BC Administrator GUI offers you a new option, Routing Rule Filter Settings, which enables you to restrict the number of routing rules that are displayed, and to sort the display. The filter accepts all combinations of characters, and the placeholders '*' (string of characters) and '?' (one character). This makes it easier to sort and search for routing rules, especially if you need to process a large number of communication partners and message types.
·        Forwarding the "Confirm Event" tRFC (triggered by an SAP system) to the next receiver (for the following transports: B2B Service, ALE (R/3 IDoc), and XML (only if another SAP BC is the receiver)) and triggering "Confirm Event" from an external client. Both of these cases can be significant if the final receiver is an SAP system. In this case, "Confirm Event" removes the transaction ID from the ARFCRSTATE table, which can improve system performance significantly when a large number of tRFCs are being processed.
Support for Distributed Statistic Records (DSRs)
SAP BC has supported the generation of DSRs since Release 4.7 DSRs enable you to monitor the performance of each SAP system and its components. In this way, you can check how much system load is produced by each individual component, and how many resources are being used. This enables you to identify "performance leaks" and optimize system performance.
The DSR support integrated in SAP BC also allows you to measure the total retention period of a process in SAP BC. To evaluate the DSRs, you require additional SAP software, including specific versions of the SAP Solution Manager, and the RFC Library. The exact requirements are still being defined.
The details will be published in SAP Note 620418. You can find a link to this SAP Note on the SAP BC download page at http://service.sap.com/sbc-download.
SAP BC Server Core Enhancements
·        Reverse Invoke
The reverse invoke protocol has been enhanced and now allows you to forward more information, such as IP addresses.
If, for example, an application fails because a connection is broken, and other working connections exist, the connection is checked using a ping.
From now on, the internal server can open or reopen a defined number of connections, if necessary.
A document is generated for any exceptions on the internal server.
·        Email Listener
New Features in the Email Listener
¡        Reprocessing of invalid mails for IMAP Server
¡        Processed mails selected as "unread" if they have not been deleted.
You can also specify whether mails with exceptions are deleted or not.
·        Update Manager
The Update Manager manages fixes and patches for the upgrade of an SAP BC Server. Previously , the Update Manager allowed a fix to set other fixes as obsolete, using the updateVoidList field in the update.cnf file of the fix. An obsolete fix is not shown in classpath, but up to now the Update Manager has not been able to give a fix in classpath priority ahead of this other fix. The Update Manager has now been enhanced to support these fix priorities: The update.cnf file in the fix now contains an updatePrecedeList field.
Incompatible Changes
SAP BC Delivery Without JVM
The Windows Version of SAP BC 4.7 is no longer delivered with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The SAP BC 4.7 Installation Guide describes the JVMs that are supported.

JDeveloper/OAF in our EBS R12 (12.1.3) web server. Solaris Sparc 64bit mach

Problem Description
Am trying to setup and use the JDeveloper/OAF in our EBS R12 (12.1.3) web server. Solaris Sparc 64bit machine.
Followed the metalink document 416708.1 and took the zip p9879989_R12_GENERIC.zip as instructed in the training class. The readme does not mention about installing in UNIX. I am getting all shorts of errors when invoking "jdev".
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
Error: JDeveloper can't recognize the JDK version
Please let me know the steps.

Hi ,
Normally the Jdeveloper setup will be done in Windows (32bit or 64 bit) for development of new pages, or extension.
I understand that you are trying to setup the Jdevelopment for your development in a Solaris Sparc 64bit machine, it should be possible because Oracle Development use Unix machine to run the Jdeveloper for development.
Please try
To work around this you should edit the $JDEV_HOME/jdev/bin/jdev.conf -file and comment out the line that shows:
SetJavaVM hotspot
After this you should be able to start JDeveloper 10.1.2.
You might get some weird sticky startup screen showing in front of the initial questionnaire windows. After passing these (either try moving the windows or just pressing Enter) you should be fine with JDeveloper.
If that didnt work,
And check the below thread helps,

Got an error when install oracle 9i in linux 9 in windows virtual server

Hi Guys,
I am installing an oracle 9i in my laptop that is linux 9 server which is hosted in windows virtual server. when I ran runInstaller, I got an eror that is can't connect x11 windows server using........ When I ran xterm, I got can't open dispaly. xhost + also dosn't work. Is that ok that I can install oracle in a linux that is installed in windows virtual server? What value can I set to DISPLAY value?
Thank in advance.

Linux 9? You mean the one that was end-of-lifed in 2004? (Just checking ...)
If yes, you gotta decide whether it's the 'Linux 9 Boxed Version' or the 'Linux 9 Download Version'. The two have completely different compiler and glibc packages that are incompatible. Fix that incompatibility - relative to Oracle's needs - and you will be able to make Oracle9i limp along.

"Cluster is incorrectly configured on the virtual server." re-add server

Took a server out of a pool, then later went to re-add. /OVS/ mounts fine on the server, but when I go to VM Mangler, it throws the following errors:
"OVM-1011 Oracle VM Server sonorx3 operation HA Check Prerequisite failed: failed: <Exception: ha_check_shared_storage_mount failed: <Exception: srv('sonorx3'). failed! => <Exception: Cluster is incorrectly configured on the virtual server.> ."
In /var/log/ovs-agent/ovs_operation.log on the host that fails to join, I see:
"StackTrace:
File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSXHA.py", line 99, in check_shared_storage_mount
raise Exception("Cluster is incorrectly configured on the virtual server.")"
What step is missing here?

I've tried re-doing ovs-makerepo.
Google doesn't know anything about the problem (other than this thread here, which it has already indexed).
What gives?
