What's new in Solaris 10 1/06? Support for UltraSPARC IV+?

Where can I find out what is new in Solaris 10 1/06? I have seen this page, http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/whats_new.jsp which doesn't give much detail. And it looks like docs.sun.com has not been updated with any 10 1/06 documentation.
Also, does Solaris 10 1/06 support UltraSPARC IV+?
Thanks.

You have tried reading through the "view all" categories I hope ? Because that really is what changed ;-)
Seriously, its not that spectacular as you can see. Some programs have been "enhanced" (bugfixed IMO) and the most drastic (new) features are IMO basicly using / adding Grub to the x86 branch and making the update manager part of the system.

What's new app taking over from

Need help with this what's new up as I'm guessing this is what is causing issues and I'm going insane. How can this be turned off? Every time I'm using my phone it takes over in the background and then if I'm using my keyboard it starts writing random stuff. I'm also getting heaps of pop up including porn ones which is frustrating. Can this be fixed otherwise I'm taking it back so I can get a phone that works without this crap.

Hi,
What you are describing does not sound like our application "What's new". This app does not take over anything in the background and should not interfere with the keyboard and the app does not display such popups.
Could you try to boot the phone into safe mode to see if you experience this kind of behaviour?

What's new in Solaris 10 5/08 version?

Could anybody tell me what's major diff in Solaris 10 5/08 than previous version? Thanks!

Check out the docs at the following link:

Solaris 10 X86 08/07 - What's new ? Release Notes ?

Are there Release Notes, or list of what is new in Solaris 10 X86 08/07 ? The Docs directory on the DVD is empty and a quick search of the DVD didn't find anything.
Where should I be looking for this info ?
Many thanks !

First of all there is a special doc DVD for Solaris 10 u4 (listed on the same page as installation DVD)
Second - "release notes" stuff is always located on docs.sun.com

1.0.4 firmware: What's new or fixed?

Did anyone else get prompted to do a nano firmware update to 1.0.4 this morning? What was new or fixed?

From the ReadMe which accompanies that update, it looks like this new firmware brings with it:
• Fixed issue which resulted in some incorrect daylight savings date settings
• Thai song information tags now display properly after syncing iPod nano in disk mode
• Other minor bug fixes

New to Solaris question help please

Just successfully installed Solaris 10 on VMWare ESXi and assigned it 50GB of HDD space. When I type df -h I see that 79% of my disk is used and the rest of the storage is nowhere to be found.
I'm new to Solaris is this because the rest of the drive hasn't been partitioned? Some help would be greatly appreciate so that I can take advantage of the rest of my volume...
Thanks!

I don't recall allocating anything during installation.Which means that you did a default installation with no customization. Looking over your file system layout confirms this.
I have an update df -h listing as well (I installed on a different system)

From this, I understand that /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 has a size 4.6GB (assuming the OS is installed here) when I download items to the desktop, it appears they are placed in this "disk"?Depends on where you told Firefox to place them by default. You could just as easily configure it, Edit, Preferences, Main, Downloads, tell it to place the downloads somewhere else.
> Also, /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s7 is where 44GB of free storage resides, I believe this is located in /export/home (as a folder with 44GB of space available) as far as my knowledge of Solaris is concerned.
Correct. Solaris is a multi-user system that leaves plenty of space for user home directories which default to /export/home. IMNSHO the space that is leaves behind for / is usually small enough to make the system unusable after applying only a few patches. If you switch to OpenSolaris 2008.11 you can ZFS which will mitigate most of these problems.
Just a little confusing to a newbie, coming from a Microsoft background (forgive me!) I am used to seeing volumes as icons in My Computer.The Windows tool for managing disks is nice and graphical.
What's your advice for managing volumes, formating to ZFS, maybe some visual method of understanding volumes?If you haven't done much with the system then you might consider switching to OpenSolaris with the caveat that some parts of Solaris are not available in OpenSolaris because of licensing issues. However, for someone who's just starting out you won't miss them.
For understanding, http://www.docs.sun.com / Solaris / Administration and then look for the two books on Disk Management. One is for ZFS and the other is for UFS. ZFS and Volume Manager Administration

New to solaris---is update manager working correctly?

well as my subject says I am new to solaris having put it on an pc bout a week ago. as I am using the "free" verson (not open solaris) I knew I would not be entitled to certain goodies but seem to have run into an issue getting the updates I (presumably) am entitled to. simply put I open up the solaris application "update manager" which is on my desktop saying "updates available". now upon initially launching the app I specified that I was using the free version (well it let me register without a code so I assume sun knows my status), and then selected the option to put a check mark next to all available updates. well after waiting like a full day with it showing that is was still in the process up updating I eventually aborted the process. I then tried installing a couple of the updates and though it took a while it worked. so I selected 3 of 4 more and again the update manager showed that I was updating but nothing was happening (to my knowledge). after several hours I aborted the app again. so what am I doing wrong. first off I am assuming that what sun presents to me is what is actually available to me using the free unregistered version of solaris. why then would updates fail? btw I know some linux (not an expert) and I figured that behind the scenes update manager was checking for dependencies and installing what I needed from sun repos. but of course I could be way off bass here. so what gives? thanks much in advance.

first off I am assuming that what sun presents to me is what is actually available to me using the free unregistered version of solaris.No. Update Manager will show you everything but will only allow you to install basically security and a small subset of other patches.
When you ran through the Solaris registration GUI you had a chance to enter a support contract #. If you chose not to enter one or if you want to use it without registering then you only get access to a few of the patches.

New to Solaris administration - Need some help with some issues

Hello all,
I am a new to Solaris administration and need some assistance with a few things. I was going to make separate posts but decided it would be easy to keep track of in one. I really do not know much about the OS but I do have a little Linux background so that might help me out. I am going to number my problems to keep them sorted, so here we go.
The machine:
Sunfire V880
4x 73GB HDs
PCI dual fiber channel host adapter
Attached RAID array:
Sun StorEdge T3 Array with 9x 73GB HDs
Sun DDS4 Tape Drive in a Unipack
OS: Solaris 5.10
Updates: Updated everything except 2 patches (Updating is a real pain isn't it? At least it seems that way to me.)
1. So I might as well start with the update issues! These 2 updates will not install:
-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
-Patch for mediaLib in solaris, (121620-03)
Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to save files. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 4.
No idea why the PostgreSQL update is not working, but the medialib patch seems to not have enough hard drive space.
2. Where are all the drives? I don't know how to find the RAID box or the other 3 internal hard drives. When I installed the OS, I think I installed it on only one hard drive and that might be part of the reason why the medialibe update above says that I don't have enough space.
3. I probably need more space for the OS and updates, is there a way to "add" space onto the hard drive that currently is running the OS?
3. Once I see the other hard drives I wish to combine them to make a RAID 0 and RAID 5 array, how do I go about doing that?
4. How can I find/see the tape drive?
5. Does my swap space really need to be 64GB? I know the book I have read suggests it, but I only made it 5GB because it didn't seem to make sense to make it 64GB.
Thank you in advance for the help. I know these are a lot of questions to ask but please go easy on me :)

-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
Exit code 0 means there were no errors. When you run showrev -p 137004-02, does your system show that the patch is installed? You can check the log for a particular patch add attempt in /var/sadm/patch/+patch_num_rev+1- A bunch of stuff shows up, here is a portion (I am not entirely sure what it means, there must be a least a page of stuff like this):
Patch: 121081-08 Obsoletes: Requires: 121453-02 Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWc cccrr, SUNWccccr, SUNWccfw, SUNWccsign, SUNWcctpx, SUNWccinv, SUNWccccfg, SUNWcc fwctrl

When you run format command, how many drives are listed? Identify your root drive (compare with output of df command you ran earlier) Please post here.2. Output of df-hk, looks like I ran out of room. Should I just go ahead and reinstall the OS?

3. So I guess the general consensus is to reinstall the OS, is that correct?

5. I guess 5GB will be ok for what we do.

What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?

What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?
I'm trying to debug a kernel panic under Solaris 10 on sparcv9. I tried the SUNWscat 4.1 package but it core dumps on Solaris 10. I found a blog entry that described the problem and mentioned a version 4.2 fix. That was from May 2006, but I have not found any update sense then. Was 4.2 ever released or is their an alternative tool for Solaris 10 that I can use?

One problem is that those of us who develop Solaris CAT do so as a "hobby" as it's not part of our actual jobs. But he good news is that management gave us the time to get a release out and 5.0 is now available here . We're now planning 6 month releases so we don't have a 5 year delay between updates.
BTW, the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool supports Solaris 10, OpenSolaris/Solaris Nevada, sparc, and x86/x64.
There are so many enhancements and bug fixes that I'd recommend reading the release notes (SUNWscat/docs/index.html).

New to Solaris, Some Samba and NTFS issues.

Hi Im new to solaris and trying out ZFS which has been great.
Im haivng some trouble that I cant find up to date info on so here goes:
First how do you mount an NTFS volume in Solaris 11 Express?
I need to access the data on an NTFS drive to populate my new ZFS tank.

Hi Im new to solaris and trying out ZFS which has been great.
Im haivng some trouble that I cant find up to date info on so here goes:
First how do you mount an NTFS volume in Solaris 11 Express?
I need to access the data on an NTFS drive to populate my new ZFS tank.I never had a need for it but I think you'll have to compile fuse ntfs-3g manually.

Secondly, I have read only access on my samba shares from windows machines but my smb.conf looks right. a copy of my smb.conf will follow
Any suggestions would be appreciated.You don't need to use Samba in Solaris 11 Express.

I'm new to Solaris...well *nix in general

I'm new to Solaris...well *nix in general.
While looking into extending my programming knowledge to include Java I came across a link to download Solaris 10 for free�so I did.
I have installed it on an old 1Ghz Athlon box to play with for a while, before I build a new box to put it in. So far so good (apart from the network card). I was wandering if anyone could recommend some good resources to learn how to administer a Solaris 10 box? I would prefer a good book or documents that I can download and print out.
Thanks
Gary.

Sorry, just found docs.sun.com.
Isn�t it always the way, you look around for thing with no luck, you give up and ask and there it is in front of you.

New to Solaris (unix) - basic questions (please)

Hello!
I am completely new in Solaris World, and in fact in Linux too. All I can do (may be) is to walk throught dir tree. I have one big question and many many small ones. I've just installed Solaris 10 (writing this there), I am very happy and I don't know what to do. I hope you can give me some advice. Well, the big question is where to get information about how to do basic tasks I've been doing in windows?
The smaller questions (problems) is:
1) When I boot solaris it actually goes to console, and no window system (GNOME, CDE) appears. I've already been lucky for 2 times and I managed to launch windows by typing 'gnome-terminal', but it ofter respond with something and no window system lauched. Can I do so, that window system launched automatically?
2) I have primary partition on my hard drive with FAT 32 to share files with WindowsXP. Where can I see these files in Solaris (may be I should mount, how?)
3) How can I see files on my USB flash (how to mount)
4) Do I have to install drivers for my monitor(video card) in Solaris?
5) When I type 'man' its ok, but 'man ls' respond 'No manual entry for ls' (and all other commands. How to fix it?
6) Where I should store my files (doc, music etc. ). In windows its typically on different partitions (folders)
Thank you, and hoping for help.

Well you've a long road ahead. But heres a start:
Answer to Question 1) /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -eQuestion 2) If there are FAT32 driver in Solaris 10 (There weren't to my knowledge in Sol9 or earlier) you would need to mount them.
'man mount'
Question 3) would be similar to the answer to question 2, although you may be able to configure autofs for it 'man autofs'
Question 4) Not necessarily, but to get full functionality of your video card, yes - see manufacturers website
Question 5) Your MANPATH environment variable is bad OR you did not install them .... try 'pkginfo SUNWman' if it returns anything but not found try 'MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/sfw/man ;export MANPATH' You can add additionaly directories pointing to manpage install locations by adding a colon followed by the directory.. first off hit 'man man'
Question 6) Gnome will help once you get it going (see answer 1). Otherwise store it however you like, just don't let the root partition get full or you'll likely crash it.

New to Solaris 9 - Needs some help, if some could answer my question plz !!

Hello!
During the installation when I set that the computer is not networked, everything (SMC) seems to work absolutely fine.
But when I set the option that the computer is networked, The SMC (Solaris management Console) doesn;t startup. it says again and again that the server couldn't be found. Although I tried to stop and again start the SMC server process, but it didn;t work.,
Please help me out !!!!

I'll give this a shot:
Does other network traffic work? Assuming that you are new to Solaris 9, and not just UNIX in general, you may want to make sure that your network settings are correct (ip addy, netmask, default route, and so on) SMC usually starts up a network service on port 898 (IIRC), and then starts up the client (the actual GUI) and connects to itself.

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.
