Where is iSCSI ? Solaris 10 HW1

I've searched and seen hints, tips and the existence in Solaris Express but I was wondering if iSCSI initiator support is in the HW1 release and I'm missing it somewhere.
As a sidebar, is there a collection of "What's Been Added, Changed or Fixed" for each Solaris release? I'm willing to read!
Thanks,
Doug

The initiator as you already noted is in Solaris Express. We were unable to make the HW1 release. It will also be in HW2. While applying the Solaris Express packages to Solaris 10 may work be aware Solaris Express is different S10. We are already working on adding new S10U2 features into Solaris Express. Solaris Express can be considered the latest and greatest. While S10 HW and Update releases are stable check point/milestones.

How to get the Solaris 10 HW1

Dear Gents,
Please advice on how to get the Solaris 10 HW1 release OS release. i could not find it in the internet.
Appreciate your help as i am planning to install it on Sun V490 1.5GHz CPU server.
Best Regards and Thank you very much
Hisham

Hello Hisham,
Solaris 10 HW 1 was a (minor) update to Solaris 10 3/05 (GA) to add support for certain hardware (e.g. these 1.5GHz modules) until Solaris 10 1/06 was released. Therefore this release is more than 4 years old. Just download the current release (Solaris 10 10/9).
Please be aware that due to recent changes in licensing Solaris 10 requires a support contract. If you're plannung to upgrade to faster cpu modules with Solaris 10 already installed, this is covered by your license.
Please update to the current release before swapping the CPU/Memory Board(s).

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.

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:

Slow ISCSI perfomance on 7310

We just got a sun 7310 cluster the 10TB configuration 2xWrite SSD 1xRead SSD, we configured the 7310 as a single strip (for testing only, will latter change to mirror), we ran several NFS and ISCSI tests, to get a peak performance, all tests where done on solaris 10 clients, while the NFS test's where great, peak at around 115MBs (gigE speed) we where unable to get ISCSI performance greater then 88MBs peak. We tried playing with the ISCSI settings on the 7310 like WCE, etc but where unable to get better results.
I know we could get better performance as seen with the NFS tests, we where going to buy10gig interfaces but if we can't push ISCSI to greater then 88MBs per client it wont make sense to buy. I would rely appreciated if some one could point us in the right direction what could be changed to get better ISCSI performance.
Eli

The iSCSI lun's are setup in a mixed mode some 2k/4k and 8k, the reason for such a small block size (and correct me if I am wrong), all the zfs tunings mention to try and match the db block size, and this luns are going to be used by an informix database which has some 2k/4k/8k db spaces, so I was trying to match the db block size. (but for restores this might slow things down?)
After testing all kind's of OS/Solaris 10 tunings, the only thing that improved performance was changing the Sessions to "4" by running " iscsiadm modify initiator-node -c 4".
We are using the 4 built in NIC's, 1&2 are setup in an LACP group, we then use vlan tags, jumboframes are disabled, and 3&4 are used for management on each cluster node. We where questioning if we get/add a dual 10Gig card will the iSCSI performance be better/faster? what is the best performance we can expect on a single client with 10Gig? why single client, because we need to speed up the db restore (we are using netbackup) which is only running on a single client at a time.
With the Sessions now changed to "4" we get around 120-130MBs, since its only a 1gig link we are not expecting any better speeds.
Thanks for your help.

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.

ISCSI client Time-out Parameter

Hi
I have Configured iSCSI (Solaris iSCSI Initiators) in Solaris10 1/06 successfully with Netapp 740.
How can i influence how long the iSCSI-Client try�s to connect to the target before the mount crashes?
iscsi: [ID 286457 kern.notice] NOTICE: iscsi connection(67) unable to connect to target
After seven tries i got (In all ca. 4.06 minutes)
iscsi: [ID 328943 kern.notice] NOTICE: iscsi session(66) ******netapp:sn.61 offline
and the mounts crashes.
I didn�t find any Resources about iSCSI-Parameters in Solaris iSCSI Initiators.
sincerelly
Roland

No, you didn't configure successfully. If so, it won't crash at all.
Change your 740's timeout from very low (10 sec) to higher for testing, make sure you won't get error again in the messages file.
cheers,
