Where is DCA (Solaris 10)??

Hi,
I downloaded and installed Solaris 10 "u1" from Sun's website, and it's kind of working.
However, since installing Solaris, I cannot access DCA. When it boots, the GRUB screen is displayed, and pressing ESC doesn't do anything either before or after that.
Also, on my CD2-4, there is no "d1_image", in the "Tools" directory, so I can't even create a bootable DCA floppy.
I've seen some messages about this, but no real answers.
Can anyone tell me how do I access DCA with Solaris 10?
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
It took me a while to dig out the information I knew was out there.
I had misplaced whatever crib sheets I had printed.
I just knew I'd found a way to create the diskette when I needed one a few months ago.
(had not saved any bookmarks on the topic until today)
First, the Solaris x86 FAQ is a good read; long, but good.
Occasionally the info is dated but it's all a learning process, right?
See section 4.11for ...
"How do you create a Device Configuration Assistant (DCA) Diskette in DOS/Windows?"
http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/s86faq.html#4.11
That will get you to this link at BigAdmin:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/drivers/dca_diskettes/
where you can find some diskette images.

Where to download Solaris for Intel ?

Hi
I would like to download Solaris for intel so i can learn and understand it more, i'm in a foreign country and paying to get the CD is not easy , that's why i want to download it , any url ? from where i can dowload ?
Thanx

You can't get the Intel edition anymore. Only SPARC. Sorry... Sun decided to not support Intel anymore. I can sort of understand why though.

How to find out if I have Solaris v11.0 or v11.2? Where is 64bit Solaris?

How can I find out if I have Solaris v11.0 or v11.2 installed?
Does Solaris "2010.11" mean Solaris 11 or Solaris 10?
Assume I have installed Solaris 10 or Solaris 11.0:
Can I update Solaris with the integrated Update Manager to Solars 11.2 or do I have to install a new Solaris 11.2?
Finally when I go to Solaris 11 download web page
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/install-2245079.html
I miss a x64bit Solaris download link.
I found only an x86 version (which means 32bit for Intel CPUs)
Thank you
Peter

There are two places to look for versioning information:
$ uname -v
That will return 11.0, 11.1, 11.2 etc
Strictly speaking that is only the kernel version but unless you do "very advanced" things with packaging it is acurrate.
$ pkg info entire
That will get you information about which SRU (patch) level you are at.
As for 64 bit that is the 64 bit version. For Solaris the term "x86" means Intel/AMD compatible processor. Solaris 11 only boots on 64 bit SPARC and Intel/AMD processors.
Since Solaris 7 there has been support for running both 32 bit and 64 bit applications on a 64 bit kernel. Solaris 11 only delivers a 64 bit kernel for all supported processors.

This is also for patches, I can't download old recommend cluster patches.

Where is the Solaris 10 Encryption Kit located for downloading?

The link on the Downloads section doesn't work. Says something about this catalog doesn't list free downloads and prompts me to go back to the Download Center home and reselect the free downloads....
Can't find any pointers to this package so that I can download it.
Thanks,
johnl

Are you using Firefox, etc, instead of IE? the download center and Firefox sometimes get confused for me.
The link I found was the following, you'll need to log in and accept the license agreement:

I want increasing the space in c1t0d0s0. when I installed Solaris 10 I do not looked attentively the size allocated
Thanks

Hi,
As I understand, you want to increase the size of the root partition (where you installed Solaris) which resides in c1t0d0s0. I think it can be done using Concatenations from Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
I have tried it in non root partition like /export/home and it is very easy.
metainit -f d0 2 1 c1t0d0s7 1 c2t0d0s7 //this will create volume d0 as a concatenation
growfs -M /export/home /dev/md/rdsk/d0 //this will grow the /export/home partition

Solaris 10 update 6 keeps generating core file (/core)

I wonder if somebody has encountered the following issue.
I did a fresh install of Solaris 10 update 6 on two servers (T5140 and T524) from DVD.
I noticed that a core file was in the root filesystem (/core).
So, I deleted it.
As soon as I delete the core file, another one is generated.
This is happening on both servers where I installed Solaris 10 update 6 from the DVD.
This is not a live update install. Solaris was installed from scratch. When prompted to preserve previous data, I replied with 'do not preserve data'
Does anybody know where the core file is coming from and how to stop it being generated?
Found out that is coming from vold

#It seems that vold is failing to mount the DVD on both servers after Solaris was installed.
Is this a Solaris 10 update 6 bug?
Edited by: shen on Jan 29, 2009 8:45 PM

Never mind.
It is a known bug documented on manual " [Solaris 10 10/08 Release Notes, Chapter 2 Solaris Runtime Issues|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5245/chapter2-1000?a=view] " as shown below.
The solution is to apply vold patch [138130-01|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-138130-01-1].
Solaris 10 10/08 DVD Media Might Not be Automatically Mounted by vold (6712352)
The Solaris 10 10/08 DVD does not mount by default during runtime. No error message is displayed.
Workaround: Perform the following steps:
   1. Become superuser.
   2. Disable vold:
      * On Solaris 10 Systems:
            # svcadm disable -t volfs
      * On Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 systems:
            /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
   3. Mount the media manually by using the # mount -F hsfs path to block device path to mount point command. For example:
      # mount -F hsfs /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s2 /mnt

Re: solaris 8 VM on T41 Sparc server?

Hi Eze ,
I have a customer with a similar requirement where customer has Solaris 8 (2/02 , 7/03) and Solaris 9 (4/04, 12/03, 9/05) installed as physical servers which needs to be virtualized (P2V) , is it possible to run them as branded zone on solaris 10 or solaris 11 ? Would applications compatibility be risked and would there be any fine points to remember for these conversions.
Thanks
Arun

Hello
sol8 and sol9 physical servers can be in a brandz zone only in sol10 (sol11 can't have sol8 nor sol9 brandz). In general the applications usually works fine.
But I would suggest to try to migrate that applications to sol10 or sol11, as sol8 and sol9 are very old OS and now that your customer is thinking in moving forward could be a time to do.
Regards
Eze

How can i use Flash Drive in V880 with Solaris 8

i want mount pen drive(flash drive) in my V880 server where i install Solaris 8. so what is the procedure?
thanks

Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
If you still get a ‘plug-ins blocked’ message:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5271
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

I don't know, how install Solaris 10 in V445server

I dosnt know how install Solaris 10in these station, please help me

On pages where you downloaded Solaris, there is documentation in PDF format for how to install this OS.
Anyway it has not a hard setup program, just follow instructions and operating system will be installed. But pay attention to network settings and packages you need.
For most cases suggested disk partition is good.

Installing solaris 10 on an IBM server with ServeRAID

G'day,
I want to install solaris 10 on my IBM xSeries eServer 235 and install starts fine but straight away it complains about not finding any HDDs and exits.
I do have HDDs installed, three infact.
They are SCSI on the IBM ServeRAID adaptor and i have used ServerGuide to reformat the disks but solaris just cannot find them.
Why is this??
thanks,
jason

I did some idgging and i pretty much concluded that
we need serveRAID drivers for the OS be find the
disks.I've got the same thoughts. Though Solaris 10 is listed in Release Notes for the latest IBM ServeRAID Support CD, and CD itself contains floppy images for what it thinks is a 'solaris drivers', but either those drivers doesn't work or there is wrong drivers. Doing as described in "Installing" readme doesn't give much result. BTW - it's initial release of ServeRAID Support CD where support for Solaris OS is offered.
So all the OSs in the serveraid list are the oes that
serveraid will provide a driver for automatically.If only you have had updated both Server BIOS and RAID Adapter firmwares as described in relative readme's.
I am not sure what to do from here, sell the damn
server i supose!Me too.
I've got RHEL ES4 installed in RAID logical volumes, directly from OS installation distro, without using ServeRAID Support CD drivers. But I was supposed to use Solaris and not the RHEL.
Funnily enough when i got it a heat sink fell off the
northbridge or chipset, not sure which it is. A tad
dodgy.

{code}
the query is working accurately technically
but is there any way to get 10578 on top
the requirement is
---first
solar water heater
solar water heater dealers
solar water heater manufacturers
solar water heater distributors
solar water heater sales
solar water heater repairs and servicing
---followed by
SOLAR WATER HEATER REPAIRS & SERVICES-TATA SOLAR
SOLAR WATER HEATER-KAMAL SOLAR
SOLAR WATER HEATER DEALERS-TATA BP SOLAR   etc etc
so if the end user types in "solar water" the top row would have a row from the table that has what the end user has entered followed by "dealers" or "manufacturers" or "distributors" or "sales" or "repairs and servicing"
so if a row contains "solar water dealer" it shows up on top
or(if "solar water dealer" is not there and "solar water manufacturers" or "solar water distributors" etc is not present)
a row from the table that has what the end user has entered PLUS "heater" followed by "dealers" or "manufacturers" or "distributors" or "sales" or "repairs and servicing"
so "solar water heater dealers" shows up on top
these words - "dealers" , "manufacturers" , "distributors" , "sales" , "repairs and servicing" etc remain constant
what i am using right now is

the flow is to find what the end user has entered in category table ,if a match exists,find all reg_ids from test_test materialized view that have selected the matched cat_id..
the test_test materialized view lists each company cat_id-selected-by-that-company number of times
if no match is found in category table what the end user has entered could be a company so a search in name column of test_test2 materialized view..
this materialized view has one entry for each company

Using a ommand to generate more than one row of data in utl file

Hi Guys
This might be a pretty long one. But I require help with regards to using outer and inner loops within my code.
Here is the task:
Each account involved with the DCA Allocation has an entry in the DCAACCOUNTALLOCATION table to track its progress. The STATUS value of the entry shows the position of the account in the DCA Allocation process.
The status entry being tested is 3.
Below is the code:
create or replace
PROCEDURE DCA_BMW_OUT

body_output varchar2(32759 BYTE);
dictionary_guarantorsexist varchar2 (1 Char);
-- Text required within this part of the procedure
v_body varchar2(32767 BYTE);
v_header VARCHAR2(32759 BYTE);

Currently, the above codes issue is that although many rows of data have been inputted in all the tables, with regards to the select criteria above (in italics), it only produces one row of data when i expect more than one to appear.
If the query only outputs one row but you're expecting it to produce more than one row, then you need to dissect the statement to find out where the output is being unduly restricted
I was told maybe an outerloop or an inner loop would do the trick, but really stuck on how and where to put it.
Hope this makes sense guys and I would really appreciate your time.
Thanks

if i run this particular code
( SELECT
AccountDetails.CUSTOMERNUMBER, AccountDetails.ACCOUNTNUMBER, CUSTOMERDETAILS.CDTITLE, CUSTOMERDETAILS.CDFIRSTNAME, CUSTOMERDETAILS.CDLASTNAME, AccountDetails.ACCOUNTTYPE,
AccountDetails.ORIGINALCONTRACTENDDATE, AccountDetails.CONTRACTTERM, AccountDetails.CONTRACTENDDATE, AccountDetails.BRANCHAREA, AccountDetails.PRODUCTTYPE,
AccountDetails.HOUSEBANKACCOUNT, AccountDetails.CARMODEL, AccountDetails.CARLICENCE, AccountDetails.ARREARSBALANCE, AccountDetails.CODEBTOR, AccountDetails.GUARANTORNUMBER
FROM AccountDetails
JOIN CUSTOMERDETAILS ON AccountDetails.CUSTOMERNUMBER = CUSTOMERDETAILS.CUSTOMERS1
WHERE EXISTS
( SELECT *
FROM Dcaaccountallocation
JOIN DebtEpisodes ON DebtEpisodes.ACCOUNTID = Dcaaccountallocation.ACCOUNTID
WHERE Dcaaccountallocation.dcaid = 41
AND Dcaaccountallocation.status = 2
AND DebtEpisodes.DCASentDate IS NULL
AND Dcaaccountallocation.ACCOUNTID = AccountDetails.ACCOUNTNUMBER
AND DebtEpisodes.DCAORLAWYER = 'DCA'
This returns 1 row of data
However if i run a small part of the above code...
SELECT *
FROM Dcaaccountallocation
JOIN DebtEpisodes ON DebtEpisodes.ACCOUNTID = Dcaaccountallocation.ACCOUNTID
WHERE Dcaaccountallocation.dcaid = 41
AND Dcaaccountallocation.status = 2
It returns a lot of rows with a status of 2
Now i presume what I am going to do is to ensure that all the fields provide satisfactory requirements, with regards to the above code. Although I have many records in all the stated tables already.
:(

Where is DCA (Solaris 10)??
