Windows on Solaris

Hello! I would like to run Solaris as my main system. Sometimes I need to run Windows to do something. Any way to install Windows as virtual machine on Solaris? Vmware doesn't work. I need something to run Windows at reasonable speed...Don't want to do dual boot... Thank you.

Hi CicoMico
I'm not sure if this directly answers your question, but as far as I understand you're looking for an alternative to VMware to run Windows on Solaris.
Here are a few options that might be helpful to you..
Solaris has its own Virtualization capabilities, the following links explain more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_Containers
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/utilization.jsp
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ds/utilization.jsp
And I believe Xen can also be used on Solaris, the following links might be helpful as well (although it is more relavant to OpenSolaris)
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/
Hope these links atleast point in the general direction you're looking at
:-)

Dual Booting Windows and Solaris

Hi
how do i dual boot windows and solaris
Do i install windows first and then solaris or do it the other way around..?
how do i make sure that Windows and Solaris appear in my boot options..?
Is their a guide on doing this...?
Thanks
Liam

Hey I did a quick google search for you. So I havent tried this method myself but it sounds reasonable.
The text below is from the following link:
http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix1/DualBoot.htm
"Solaris boot loader
Partition the drive to leave at least 2GB of space available for Solaris;
more drive space is desirable.
As with Linux, install Windows first then Solaris.
Do not use the Installation CD but boot and install
from Software CD 1.
If you accept the default partitioning scheme which
the installer provides you will soon run out of space in
your / and /usr partitions since only enough space is
allocated to install the system.
All extra space is allocated to /export/home.
A typical installation on a 4.5GB partition might look
something like this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d0s0 900M 536M 310M 64% /
/dev/dsk/c0d0s1 334M 109M 192M 36% /var
swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /var/run
swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /tmp
/dev/dsk/c0d0s5 845M 222M 565M 29% /opt
# (FAT32 partition):
/dev/dsk/c0d0p0:1 5.0G 3.3G 1.6G 66% /c
/dev/dsk/c0d0s7 1.1G 92M 954M 9% /export/home
/dev/dsk/c0d0s4 752M 225M 474M 33% /usr/local
The Solaris boot selector enables you to choose either
Solaris or Windows with Solaris as the default.
(I prefer grub or lilo!)
To mount FAT under Solaris:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c /dos (or �:1�?)
And the vfstab file:
/dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c - /dos pcfs - yes -
To create a GRUB boot floppy, follow these steps:
$ mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0
$ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
$ mkdir /mnt/fd0/boot /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
$ cp /boot/grub/stage[12] /boot/grub/grub.conf \
> /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
$ /sbin/grub --batch <
Hope this helps!

How to call functions in windows or Solaris in servlet?

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way for servlets to call functions in windows or solaris shell command????
Thanks :)

Checkout the Runtime.exec family of methods.
I would think carefully if calling a shell script or batch file from a J2EE web component is something you really want to do though.

How to restart services in windows and solaris environment?

I need to start services running in windows and solaris platforms with java code. I have a fair idea how to do in C++ . So wondering if same can be done with java. .. Please help me out!
Thanx

you may also like to look at the wrapper project on source forge. It lets you set up services under any O/S with full control of the JVM that is running.
Btw my previous answer only helps you under MS, didn't notice that you wished to know how to do it under unix. If its a non-java service, you will need to determine what platform your on and then perform the appropriate action.

Order of installing Windows XP, Solaris & Red Hat Linux...

Hi all,
If I were to install Windows XP, Red Hat Linux & Solaris in intel dual core machine, in which order do I proceed to install. First Windows XP, then Solaris & Linux, I believe. Am I right. If not, please correct me.
Thanks,
...

Although posted under different title and content, your most recent thread
Windows and Solaris not booting on a Windows, Solaris and Linux Machine.
is actually the duplicate of this thread.
The right order of install is Windows XP, RHEL, Solaris. Because, if the Linux is the last installed OS, the Linux version of GRUB will be installed on the MBR (Master Boot Record), and you will not be able to boot Solaris. Why? Because the Linux GRUB doesn't currently recognize Solaris VTOC (Volume Table Of Contents) and UFS (Universal Disk Format File System) formats. Only the Solaris version of GRUB works as common loader for Solaris and Linux. Since you installed Linux as the last OS (as per your duplicated thread), you can try to chainload from the Linux GRUB by modifying the grub.conf on Linux, eg:
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=2
timeout=15
color white/blue black/cyan
title Windows XP
     rootnoverify (hd0,0)
     chainloader +1
title Solaris 5.10
     root (hd0,1)
     makeactive
     chainloader +1
     boot
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,2)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.imgwhere
(hd0) is the first (bootable) BIOS physical disk, and GRUB boot loader is installed on its MBR
(hd0,0) is the first primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Windows XP
(hd0,1) is the second primary partition of the first BIOS disk - Solaris 5.10
(hd0,2) is the third primary partition of the first BIOS disk - RHEL-4
Modify this according to your real disk partition map if it's necessary.
If this doesn't work (at least it should work for Windows and Linux), then I suggest reinstalling all three OSs from the ground up. A year ago I successfully installed Windows Server 2003, RHEL-4.5 and Solaris 10 on single 250 GB physical disk. You can follow my procedure. Before that, boot the system with the first RHEL-4 installation CD, type "linux rescue" and press Enter. When linux console appears, delete all partitions using fdisk. Or, alternatively, type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=2048This will erase your Master Boot Record and MBR Partition Table inside it, even much more filling out 2 MB continuous disk area with zeros. Restart the system, insert Windows installation media and start the procedure:
1. install Windows XP as the first OS. If it doesn't matter, create only one 25 GB C: drive on the entire primary partition rather than 10 GB C: and 15 GB D: drives, unless you are not sure Solaris had overwritten the D: drive on the extended partition
2. install RHEL-4 as the second OS. At this point you will be able to access Windows and RHEL-4 from GRUB. Boot RHEL-4 and navigate to /boot/grub/grub.conf. As you might need this information later, copy or make a note of the Linux entry on paper. The entry is something like this:
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-78.0.1.el5)
     root (hd0,1)
     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
     initrd /initrd-2.6.9-78.0.1.el5.img3. install Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) as the third OS. That way the Solaris version of GRUB will overwrite Linux GRUB in MBR and will be installed as the common loader for all three OSs. At this point your system might be set to boot all three operating systems. If not, you will be able to access the Solaris and Windows only. In that case boot Solaris, navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the Linux entry you copied from Linux grub.conf in the step 2. The next time you restart the system, you should be able to boot all three operating systems using Solaris version of GRUB.

Hi,
I built a java ear application on my workshop-enabled weblogic in windows OS. I need to deploy it over into a solaris weblogic system.

Jk to ajp / windows to solaris 10 / big delay on socket read

I'm having a delay problem only on Solaris 10 using the Tomcat connector from IIS to Solaris.
I've posted this issue on a couple of Java and Solaris forums with no luck. Hopefully, this forum will have the correct audience.
I have:
- IIS 6, Windows 2003 Server on dual PIII with jk 1.2.15 installed and working.
- Solaris 10 on Sun E420R with Quad Processors with jBoss / Tomcat version 4.0.3SP1 installed and working.
There is a significant delay in page loading that occurs randomly (every 10-20 clicks) which lasts for 10-18 or so seconds.
I've traced it to a read() method in the ChannelSocket.java file on the AJP (i.e. Tomcat / Solaris 10) side.
The delay always occurs while the receive() method is reading the header portion of the message.
The length of the header that the read is trying to read is 4 bytes. The call to BufferedInputStream()
will block until it gets these 4 bytes of the header (10-18 seconds). I've modified the Java code
and put a call in to available() before and after the read. The before returns 0 and the after returns 1138 or so.
I've tried every imaginable combination of configs on the IIS side to get around the problem ... and then
some kernel TCP/IP configs on the Solaris side ... too many to list here.
The problem seems to be isolated to Solaris ... because Linux, XP, Windows 2003 server all work without this problem.
My question is this ... is there any thing that I can configure to have this read return faster?
Changes to the Solaris kernel ... some config parameter ... ?? Anyone experience this before?
I'll gladly list the things I've tried to get some idea of how to solve this.
I think ultimately this is my problem: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4479751
Thanks in advance!

You have to run "make clean" and then make.
Probably the files could not be compiled because of errors in the first place.
Try to download the source for apache and compile it for the current platform, otherwise you could get wrong settings.

OpenSSH between Windows and Solaris

Hi all,
I have been given a task to set up SSH connection between Solaris 10 and Windows XP sp2. I'm quite new with the Solaris 10 and don't have any ideas to set up the SSH. Is it that i need to install some software in windows XP in order to set up the SSH and I'm quite confused with which side should be the SSH server and which one will be the SSH client. Can anyone give me some tips/guidance on how to do it or some documentation? Your help are really appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Francis

Hi~
Thanks for the response abrante. I have found out my problem. It seems that my port 22 in Solaris 10 machine is not open. When i tries to telnet the port 22, it says could not open the connection to the host, on port 22: connect failed. Is this because the SSH deamon in Solaris does not running? I have already type *#svcadm enable SSH* in the Solaris 10, but after i use the *#scvs -a | grep ssh*, it shows maintenance 8:45:06 svc :/network/ssh:default. What does this means? Does it means ssh is not running? After i tries with svcs -xv ssh, it shows:
State: maintenance since Thu Nov 17 09:07:44 2011
Reason: Start method failed repeatedly, last exited with status 1.
Impact: This service is not running.
I also tries to clear the state of ssh using svcadm clear ssh and disable and enable the service again but it doesn't work and still come out with the maintenance status. What should i do in order to solve this problem? Look forward for your response.
Thanks & Regards,
Francis

OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 on windows vs Solaris

Question 1:I am trying to find out from the product user's & experienced audiences of any major problems/concerns of latest obiee 11g release on solaris as this being the first version in 11g series for solaris compared to windows,which is always supported.
Are there any such platform related issues which matter at all,apart from having the platform experience.
Question 2:What are the major considerations one should have while migrating from one platform to other.Are there any known technical limitations.
Appreciate any thoughts.

Monitor the OEM 10g from Windows or Solaris

Hi,
I would like to monitor one instance Oracle 10g that is running on Solaris 5.10. I toolk the url (INFO: >>>>>>>>>>> The Database Control URL is http://zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:1158/em <<<<<<<<<<<) on the file emca_2010-08-27_05-32-20-PM.log.
Here my two questions about this:
first - I'm now on my Windows where I like to monitor my instance that is running on Solaris. I just put the url on my browse, but it can't open the url. The ping on the solaris is working. Any idea about the reason of why I can't access my instance with this url?
second - I'm using the exceed tool to access the solaris. My problem on the Solaris is that I don't know how start the browser there. If you know, can you tell me, please.
The output of the emctl status of dbconsole or agent is that they are running.
Thanks in advance,
Serge

Dear 791633,
Please see the emctl port number;
$ emctl status dbconsoleYou should try different names to resolve it on the browser like ;
http://ip_address_here:1158/em
http://host_name_here:1158/emOf course the host name should be known on the windows box.
Hope That Helps.

Windows vs Solaris

Hi,
Has anybody done a comparative analysis between Discoverer running on Windows and Diascoverer running on Solaris ?
I mean in terms of performance, useability etc .
Please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Sumit

Just to make sure we're talking apples and apples, here's the situation I believe between the 2 environments.
Discoverer Desktop - only runs on Windows
Discoverer Admin - only runs on Windows
Now the application server, database and even Oracle Apps can run on either. So, I assume you mean Discoverer Plus and Discoverer Viewer via the apps server on Unix versus on Windows.
I've been at client sites running Windows Oracle Apps with Unix databases. They were running version 4 of Disco so no Application Server in the middle that's the all important test to this, I believe.
So, I've never seen the middle part (ie: application server on Unix versus application server on Windows).
If it's anything like Apps between the two, IMO, Apps on Windows has much worse performance (ie: multiple servers needed to get the same 'power' as Unix), buggy (ie: patches being applied even more than on Unix - believe it or not!), and just has your basic Windows problems.
I know a couple of clients that with 10iAS will be switching all over to Unix for the main reasons I've pointed out - that it just runs faster and more reliably on Unix.
So I can't imagine that the Disco iAS part would be as fast, or as reliable on Windows as on Unix.
Having said that, I know there's at least 1 blog out there completely dedicated to running Apps on Windows so maybe you could do a google search for blogs such as that to see what they would say on the subject.
