Thanks for the responses from Pascal G, Don R, John H, Matthew T, and Glenn P.

Pascal was the first onto my main problem - the files really are 
called "hostname.e1000g0", and not <hostname>.<device name> as I originally 
interpreted.  Seems like I was thinking too much :-/

The mail that really got me up and running came from Glenn P.  He provided 
configuration suggestions for the interfaces, which I used.  One reboot 
later, the interfaces were up and configured as I wanted them.  

I then quickly discovered that the ipfilter was also in the way, configured to 
block everything execpt traffic on e1000g2, but that was a minor detail at 
the end.

The files I have in the end are:
/etc/hostname.e1000g0
wallaby netmask + broadcast + group globalnet up

/etc/hostname.e1000g1
wallaby-interchange netmask + broadcast + group interchange up

/etc/hostname.e1000g2
group globalnet -failover standby up

/etc/hostname.e1000g3
group interchange -failover standby up

Also to note was that IPv6 needs to be configured on the interfaces too.  I 
did this as follows:
/etc/hostname6.e1000g0
group globalnet up

/etc/hostname6.e1000g2
-failover group globalnet up


Everything seems to be fine now.  

Thank you for the help!

best regards
Markus

Subject: Summary (ish): Strange Veritas issue - LUN magically
  reconfigured?

Bizarrely enough it appears to be something to do with Legato Networker. I
restarted another machine today and got some error messages (not captured
unfortunately) indicating attempts to adjust disk labels. The source of the
errors was listed as one of the Networker daemons.

Quite what's going on I haven't figured out yet but I have a place to start.
If I ever identify exactly what's going on I'll post a more complete and
informative summary.

Cheers

Joe

Subject: Strange Veritas issue - LUN magically reconfigured?



Here's one for the books.


Got a veritas disk group on a running server, everything happy. We make a
tuning change to /etc/system and reboot. When the machine restarts one of the
disks in the disk group fails.
On close inspection it appears to have been relabelled as a system disk
during
the reboot.
My disk group is now hosed. The DG is housed on a Clariion CX700. No errors
are shown at the array end but the v490 machine seems to have decided half
the
LUN paths are dead for no reason that I can see. Clariion thinks everything
is
fine and we haven't touch anything at that end.

Given that nothing changed on the array, no powerpath or Veritas changes were
made during the reboot and that everything was working fine beforehand, does
anyone have any idea at all how this could have happened?

Prior to reboot oradg01=c2t0d0s2. After reboot oradg01=failed, and c2t0d0
apparently has the contents of the operating system on it.

I've got the thing back so that it's decided to recognised all the LUNs once
more but the the apparently reformatted LUN has rather screwed things up.
I've
tried replacing the dead oradg01 which was on c2t0d0 with the original device
but since all the data appears to have been wiped none of the associated
volumes can be started.

I'm thinking of just rebuilding the whole disk group but I'm interested  in
not seeing a repeat next time we reboot.

All and any suggestions gratefully received.

TIA

Joe

e4500 is running fine now.
Problem was in the diag switch.
As the system is being burned in, i left it this way which borked the system
even if i specified full bus path.
I did reset the diag and boot devices are they were obsolete.
Now am running with sol 10 u3 and latest recommended patches.
Time to setup oracle and java stuff.

  managers,
I have two solaris 9 9/05 boxes recently build. One of the user is unable to ftp to one of the boxes but he can login from that box to other boxes.

As a root I can login from either boxes as I commented out on /etc/ftpd/ftpusers. his account is not listed there on ftpusers. 

home directory is shared and all account are coming from NIS. so his profile is available on all servers. He can ftp to rest of the servers not that one but he can telnet and ssh on that box. 

Any suggestions would be helpful

Thanks

Hi,

First thanks all responser on the hot issue,special thanks to Tony
Mills,who drive me toward the right direction,and Peter Jakobi(sorry I
can't list all your name here).

*****************
Case Description
*****************

V490+Solaris 9,On a 79GBytes file system "/usr/local", where there are
25GBytes free, system fails to create a 1GBytes file via mkfile:

# df -h /usr/local
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6       79G    53G    25G    69%    /usr/local

# cd /usr/local;mkfile 1g 1g
Could not set length of 1g: No space left on device
# ls -l 1g
-rw-------   1 root     other          0 Aug  1 14:42 1g

The file "1g" not be created with specified size,Suspect the inode may
exhaust,check it find there are enough free inode:
# df -o i /usr/local
Filesystem             iused   ifree  %iused  Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6    6465258 34820118    16%   /usr/local


*****************
Action Taken
*****************

Actions to be taken include:

- fsck the filesystem,no issue found
- Re-constructe the filesystem with smaller inode size:
 # newfs -i 2048 /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s6

All above actions can't fix the issue.


*****************
Solutions
*****************

By "fsck" or "fstyp" to found the UFS filesystem "/usr/local" is under
very heavy fragmentation (>32%) ,it caused the full blocks(8k)
exhausted(nbfree=0),So we can't create any file which size lager than
8K,although there are over 25GB free space.

The final solution is re-create the filesystem by:
# newfs -o space <ufs_filesystem_raw_device>

and then restore the data.

Thanks again.

Best Rgds,
Simon

Message-ID: <567LHgVaH2126S08.1186520467@cmsweb08.cms.usa.net>

(original question below)
To date I've received excellent suggestions from William Hathaway, Ric
Anderson and Mark Round. Mark was correct in that the interrupts where from
one of the NIC's. Ric had an excellent suggestion to use 'prstat -P <cpu>',
which showed which processes where running on a particular CPU. This showed
that the OS was rotating the processes around. William Hathaway takes the
prize though, with his suggestion to use 'intrstat'. This definitely was one
of the NIC's. My guess is that the NIC's somehow are tied to a cpu/core for
interrupt handling as 'intrstat' showed that a particular NIC was
consistently
responsible for the high(er) rates of interrupts for a particular CPU.

As  Michael Hase pointed out, the system was fairly idle during the sample
period. However, earlier today the system was experiencing a weird high rate
swapped out light-weight processes, though the system didn't appear to be
under  a significant load. Still looking for that, but its a hit-or-miss
thing.

Subject: mpstat on T2000

While looking at a possible performance issue on a T2000 I noticed that cpu
27
was experiencing a much higher rate of interrupts and interrupts on threads
than the other 31 cores. (The mpstat output is below) I looked at a couple of
other T2000's and saw very similar behavior. I can't seem to find a
particular
process consistently running on cpu 27 and all system run different
applications. Is cpu 27 somehow used differently (e.g. floating point or
specific interrupt handling) than the other ones?

Many thanks who replied.
   
  Answers were a mixed bag of suggestions. In a nut shell,
   
  An image created with full+OEM software bundle will work on all hardware of the SAME ARCHITECTURE (sun4v, sun4v etc). Different images will be required for different architecture.
   
  Avoid using Flar if SVM is used extensively. 
   
  Flar image might have the problems dealing with disks of different varieties. It can cop with CPUs, memory rather easily.
   
  Use JET (Jumpstart Enterprise Toolkit) to manage it easily. Integrate JASS/SST into JET to get secured jumpstart. Use these if you've large number of servers.

  Hello Gurus,

I've been tasked with setting up a jumpstart server to use flair archive for Sol 8 and Sol 10. We would have images for internal network and DMZ in each version - in all 4 versions (2 for sol 8 and 2 for sol 10).

We use various SPARC hardware (Netra T1, V120, V240, V880, V890 to name a few) and quite likley will have the similar mixture even in the future when new servers are ordered.

My questions are: 

Will a Solaris 8/10 image created on V120 work on V880 because of their different hardware?

Will I have to have different Flair image for each version for each hardware? My guess is - NO. But then what is the way around?

Though I've the theoretical knowledge of jumpstart, this is my first practical set up. And obviously just theoretical knowledge has its limitations.

Thanks
Ketan

Message-ID: <59adc1a0708100206n5a4bd1a4hdee5fd2ddcff6d5@mail.gmail.com>

I'd like to thank Eric Leblon and Casper.Dik for their input.
I will do the regular dump in single user starting with s0 and all
filesystems below mounted.
Casper mentioned that s2 will backup only the first filesystem.
Currently I'm making a flar image of my OS, and later will do a full
ufsdump.
Reason for this - paranoia.
Thanks a lot and enjoy the week-end.

Subject: SUMMARY: perl, oracle, sendmail and Solaris 10
Message-ID: <3039115F5F6550468E498DBC85F2EC549B797D@SUEXCL-01.ad.syr.edu>

Thank you to all who sent responses.  Vladimir Terziev pointed out an
oracle bug 4516865 that implies a problem with permissions for
everything under ORACLE_HOME.  A few other people suggested that
changing the permissions on the ORACLE_HOME files to 755 shouldn't be a
problem.

After discussing with our Oracle admins, we decided that since Oracle
made the file permissions more restrictive for security, and their
install directions say to only run the changePerm.sh script if you have
to, that we would just determine which files or directories need to have
more permissive rights for what we are doing, and only change the
permissions on those.

Thanks again.
Nicole

Hello,



We have a perl (v 5.8.4) script that gets executed when users send email
to an email alias on a Solaris 10 machine.   This script uses Oracle
modules (dbd-oracle 1.19) to access an Oracle 10 database.  We are
having problems getting this script to work with the alias.

The user who I'm helping said that the script ran ok as root from the
command line, but not with the alias.



The alias for it in /etc/aliases is as follows:

eg: "|/apps/syrApps/egate/bin/eg.pl"



To test, I did a truss on the sendmail process and the processes it
forks, and sent email to the alias.  Right after the call to the
DBD:Oracle module, I saw an error "

Err#13 EACCES [file_dac_search]" for the files
/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1 and
/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib32/libclntsh.so.10.1.



The "file_dac_search" indicates a permission problem. Both of these lib
directories have permissions 750.  So, I temporarily changed
/apps/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/ to 755, ran another test, and saw
different output for that call in truss, but still an error for the
lib32 directory.  If we change the permissions of all of the files in
the the Oracle client install directory to 775, sending email to the
alias works.



Obviously that is not a good solution. I tried putting the sendmail
"smmsp" user in the "oinstall" group, but that did not help. I think the
problem might have to do with the Solaris 10 principle of least
privileges or role based access control, but I'm not sure. I just
started reading about these and am not familiar with them.



Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?



Thanks,

Nicole

Looks like rsh server is part of shell so I ran this

and it took care of it.

Message-ID: <BDA5DA0680DBE34FB6062B419044F2AF8A2C70@exch-srv.ftigrvsc.com>

Thank you Darren.

I added this line to my menu.lst file:

-B console=keyboard

added it here in the file
#---------- ADDED BY ME ----------
title Keyboard Video Mouse: Solaris 10 6/06 s10x_u2wos_09a X86
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B console=keyboard
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------

It works!!!

By default my system sends user I/O to console, but when I have a
monitor connected I have the option to select the kernel OS (from GNU
GRUB screen) to display to the monitor (KVM).  I also changed the
"timeout 10" to "timeout 20"

It works like a champ.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

PS: I added the original question at the bottom for folks

Since there is no -B, this will use the values in bootenv.rc.

Which is stored in bootenv.rc.

You'll notice the first one is trying to override the console setting.
I don't know if this will work, but I would try forcing console=text on
the grub line.  (either edit at boot, or code a new section).

   ...multiboot -B console=text

#### Original Question ####
###########################

Hi Managers,

I was wondering if anyone had a setup for the x2100 or x2200 (in
relating to grub and user interface output) that would send output to
the serial port and provide GRUB menu output to the KVM thus allowing
someone who hooked up a KVM to boot a kernel that would display to KVM?
I want to display output to the serial port by default (which I do now)
but I want to have the option to boot the kernel and have output on the
KVM if I choose to select a different GRUB boot option.  Right now the
GRUB does display to the KVM like I want it.

Right now I have something that half way works.
My x2100 will display the shell to the serial port. If I hook KVM up and
have my laptop console connected I can see my GRUB menu (monitor) but
when I select the option to display my OS to the KVM I just get a
blinking cursor (monitor) and it keeps showing up on my laptop console.
I hope I make sense, hard to explain sometimes.

Here is a sample of my /boot/grub/menu.lst file for the above statement.

Notice the following towards the bottom of my menu.lst
#---------- ADDED BY ME ----------
title Keyboard Video Mouse: Solaris 10 6/06 s10x_u2wos_09a X86
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------

I added that and the menu option does appear in the grub menu during
bootup (monitor) but like I said it continues to go console even though
I just have "kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot."
The Solaris failsafe will display the OS to the monitor but for some
reason the modification above will not.

I have the following in my eeprom:
console=ttyb

Is that a problem? If I change that I won't have serial console anymore
right?  I kind of wanted both or at least default to serial and then
have the option (KVM connected) to select the OS to display to KVM (via
GRUB menu).  Kind of like we had with SPARC workstations.

Subject: SUMMARY: V445 boot
Message-ID: <200708142244.l7EMiIQ18173@merlin.fpp.nuclearsafetysolutions.com>

My original question is included below.

Unfortunately, I have not found the answer to our V445's
~ 4 minute boot pause.  I should have noted that the system
PROM revisions are up-to-date (4.22.33 for both POST and
OBP).

Suggestions included:

  - ensuring that the system is doing minimal
    diagnostics: I had already set diag-trigger to
    "none", but I also tried various combinations of
    diag-passes=0, diag-level=min and diag-switch?=false
    to no effect.
    
  - connecting a tty to the system to observe its boot
    process: I did this, but I didn't seen any output
    that wasn't visible from the server's graphic
    console
    
  - checking for unused NICs: the system has 4 NICs, only
    one of which is hooked up to a switch. The actual delay
    seems to occur before the OS gets anywhere near configuring
    the NICs, but I set up dummy configs on them anyway just
    to see. Unfortunately, this didn't help.
    
  - check for incomplete fibre channel loops: the system has
    only the 8 internal SAS drives

Hello Managers,

Thanks very much for your rapid response.   I got replay from Graeme and
Martin. Thanks a lot. I appreciate your time and help.   To summarize!!

Problem Reported:

I am trying to migrate the  two node SUN cluster shared storage from one
EMC  box to another EMC ( New DMX) box.   I prefer to  add new DMX disks
to the existing shared storage disk group and do the veritas level
mirroring volume by volume. Once the mirroring is completed 100%  I will
break the mirror and cut over to new EMC disks.

Here I am worried with the Quorum disk existing in the old EMC disk group.
 Please  advice me how should I move the quorum disk from old EMC disk to
new EMC disks without corrupting cluster configurations

Solution Advised by Sun Managers  Marin and Graeme
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------

The quorum device doesn't have data on it, it just needs to exist, so you
don't have to do the same mirror/unmirror process as you do with file
system devices.

You have two options:

1. Add a new quorum device from the new array and then delete the one from
the old array.
2. Delete the old, add the new.

Either way you will only have problems if you suffer a failure some time
between the two steps of both options.

You add and remove quorum devices with the scconf -a -q
globaldev={newdevice} or scconf -r -q globaldev={olddevice} commands
(assuming SC 3.1).  Not sure what the SC 3.2 commands are.

Cheers,
Graeme.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

I've done such a job from HDS to HDS last month, just add a new quorum
from the new storage and remove the old one...

SC 3.1 -> scsetup -> quorum -> add/del
SC 3.2 -> clsetup -> quorum -> add/del

SC 3.1 -> scconf -a -q globaldev=d<nr>, scconf -r -q globaldev=d<nr>
SC 3.2 -> clquorum add d<nr>, clquorum remove d<nr>

Subject: SUMMARY: Jumpstart: syntax error and trying to load from /cdrom
	media, which disk to use for Solaris 8 image
Message-ID: <BDA5DA0680DBE34FB6062B419044F2AF8A2CA7@exch-srv.ftigrvsc.com>

I want to say thanks to Mark and Clay for assisting me.

My problem was the "Solaris 8 Software HW 5/03 1of 2 disk"
I needed to also install the 2 of 2 disk. I just had a partial image.

So to create an image from CD one needs Solaris 8 Software HW 5/03 1of 2  and
Solaris 8 Software HW 5/03 2of 2 . When using/adding the second disk (2 of 2)
the command. "add_to_install_server" is utilized.

The Solaris 8 Installation CD is only needed if you plan on using Web Start
installation.

see chapter 12 of Advanced Installation Guide Solaris 8
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-2411/6m8ou8s9f?a=view

Thanks
Al

Dear Managers,

I'm very close to getting my JS up and running.

My image was created from the Solaris 8 Software HW 5/03 1of 2 disk.
#pwd
/cdrom/sol_8_hw503_sparc/s0/Solaris_8/Tools
#./setup_install_server /mountpoint/d2

I'm not sure if I need to use that disk (above) or the Solaris 8 Installation
HW 5/03 disk
Could this be my problem? It seems the client is looking to the cdrom for the
OS image (below).



Any pointers are welcomed, thanks.

Hello Sunmanagers,

Thanks for all who repsonded, Below is the few which i

I've used this in the past, where you have to fill in
your own 'c' and 't' numbers in the for loops below.
or you could do it manually without the for loops

Don

---------------------------------------------------

this will label all the drives

#!/bin/sh
for c in 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15;
do

for t in 0 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 13 ; do
        format -s -f fmtcf c$c"t"$t"d0"
done
done

where ftmcf is a command file ( see man page for
format )
with the word "label" ( without the quotes ) in it

_____________________________________________________________________
Darren Dunham" <ddunham at taos.com

The format command assumes 'yes' answer to questions
when run in
non-interactive mode.

It also asks to format when a non-labeled disk is
selected.

So the easiest way is to create a command file like
this:

disk 1
disk 2
disk 3
disk 4
[...]

and feed that to format with -f.  Each disk in the
list will be
selected, and only if it is unlabeled, it will have a
new label
attached. 
_____________________________________________________________________
Simon" <simon.zcyuan at gmail.com

for disk in `ls /dev/dsk/c#s2|awk -F\/ '{print $NF}'`
(replace "#" with
 the
actual controller instance number)
do
    format $disk <<eof >/dev/null 2>&1
    type
    0
    label
    yes
    quit
eof
done

.
Regards,
-Sunny.

Hi,

that was quite quick, thanks to Tim Evans [tkevans at tkevans.com] for his quick
& reliable response:

> just a quick question: Does anyone know if Solaris 10 supports SMBFS,

No.  Google for "sharity," or get/install Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX
and install NFS.

I think I will use Tim's suggesstion and use SFU...

Hi gurus,

just a quick question: Does anyone know if Solaris 10 supports SMBFS, i. e.,
can I mount a Win32-share on my Solaris box?
I know that it was an open issue for a long time, but I cannot find any
definite answers if it IS incorporated in the kernel, or not...

Thanks, and have a nice hackin',

Harald

 All
	Apologies for not replying earlier, but I've been sunning myself
in Cornwall.
Anyway, the thing that I had forgotten was that I was building the
Jumpstart server on an x86 laptop (money's tight, but this solution is
portable across several Data Centres and IP subnets).
s1 exists, but only by default when mounted on a Sparc system. A bit of
additional jiggery pokery is needed to get the s1 slice to mount on the
laptop.
The Solaris 10 DVD (x86 & Sparc) mounts everything under the one slice,
so that's why I had no problemos there.
Google for 'solaris lofiadm jumpstart iso'
Many thanks to Darren Dunham who pointed the way, Kim de Smaele for
those pertinent questions, and to Ketan Patel - this one's for you.


Thanks - Ian

Gurus
    We are trying to install a jumpstart version of Solaris 9 from the
original distro pack and also the downloaded .iso file.
We are having an issue with the setup_install_server script as it tries
to find the boot image at /cdrom/sol_9_904_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot.
This is a link which points to ../../../s1.
s1 doesn't exist, and on the Solaris 10 distro, Boot is a directory
under /cdrom/sol_9_904_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools/.
Is this a known bug, and if so, is there a workaround

1. fill all entries in /etc/gateways and remove /etc/defaultrouter
side effects:
possible flood of routing table with junk

2. route -p network gateway - no need of rc.script (S10 update 3)

3. make a rc. script

I chose 3.

Subject: [SUMMARY] Solstice DiskSuite question
Message-ID: <20070828100030.GE730@mcs.le.ac.uk>

On 21st August I asked

--
I have 5 disks in a RAID 0 (stripe/concat) configuration under Solstice
DiskSuite.  One is going bad (1 hard error, soft errors clocking up 2 or 3
a day)  As you can see the system isn't mirrored, so if I'm not careful
I'll have to do a full restore of all the data, tedious.

The system is under contract, so a replacement disk is arriving tomorrow.
If I format the new disk the same as the old one, don't newfs it, and dd
the data partition from failing to new, what is the chance of it working?
--

Thanks to 

Andrew Toon
James W. Abendschan
Darren Dunham
John Stoffel
Jeff Woolsey
Brad Morrison

for their replies and messages of support, especially those who mentioned
about SLVM keeping track of the disk ids.

In short it worked.

The technique is as follows

remove any state database replicas on the failing disk using metadb -d
comment out S35svm.init in /etc/rcS.d to stop volume manager initialising
comment out entry in /etc/vfstab for the metadrive
touch /reconfigure to force a configuration reboot
halt the system
connect the new disk
boot single user
format and label the new disk identically to the failing one.  (Here I was
probably very fortunate as the disk supplied was same make and model as
the failing one)
dd the data partition from the old to new disk.  I used a block size of
248b i.e. one track per transfer  This stage must be error free.
touch /reconfigure
halt the system
replace the failing drive with the new one, making sure the SCSI address
stays the same i.e. if the failing drive was c1t2d0 the new one must be
c1t2d0
boot single user
update the disk id using metadevadm
uncomment S35svm.init in /etc/rcS.d
halt the system
boot single user
fsck the metadrive

If this goes cleanly then uncomment the metadrive in vfstab and reboot.
You can add state database replicas if you wish

This took me 90 minutes to rebuild the system as opposed to approximately
18 hours if I'd had to restore all the data from backup.

Dear managers,

thanks a lot to

Casper.Dik at Sun.COM
Deborah Crocker <crock at bama.ua.edu>
... and others

that pointed me into the right direction. It turned out that the system
was infected by a telnet worm. I don't know yet when and exactly how it
got infected but the bottom line is

	 Never shutdown your firewall, not even for a of couple of seconds!
	 If possible don't use telnet even behind a firewall
	 Install security patches

I have learnt this lesson the hard way. The case demonstrates that Suns
new "secure by-default" approach makes sense. Here are a few links that
describe the worm and also contain a script to get rid of this thing.

Subject: SUMMARY: SDS , both sides of the mirror desync ? best way of fix it
Message-ID: <1188499049.334.6.camel@ipixelmac.tic.com.mx>

I received few responses, suggesting me to do some things before the
metareplace.

1.- use format analyse on  both disks
	which I didnt do it, since no time to do so and the only partition on
both disks was the same

2.- dont boot from the cdrom, you only have to do it if its the /
partition

so I follow the following procedure


1.- go to single user 

2.- fsck .y each side of the mirrors

3.- metareplace -e d26 and each side of the mirrors using the cXtYdZsN
naming schema.

4.-once all the sync is done, reboot to verify no problems.

Thanks to gave me advice:

Geoff lane, Lawrence Sorillo,Tom payerle, and brad morrison.

Subject: SUMMARY: Cannot login to service processor after password
  change
Message-ID: <46D7D640.1000507@imk.fzk.de>

Hello again,

thanks to Lawrence Sorrillo, who noted that a password change
to IPMI also changes the password of the SP and vice versa.
But since you need a valid password to use ipmitool (and a
working OS), I couldn't follow that path.
Checking the extended online documentation of the Blade
8000P again revealed a much simpler solution: The CMM
has a small hole with a hidden switch that resets the
SP password to factory default. Having access to the
CMM will let me reset the lost passwords of the blades.

Still I have no clue why the password change procedure
does not work, so there may be a firmware bug lurking
around, since that problem is reproducible. So be warned.
===================
Original question:
after changing the password on a Blade 8000P service-processor,
I cannot login with the new password (Authentication failure)
anymore, neither via web page nor via ssh. The default password
is not working anymore, of course. The password has 7 letters
(Upper and lower case) and a % (percent) sign, the description
says that all letters except blank and colon are allowed.
It was typed in via an english keyboard (% over 5), with
UTF-8 as browser character encoding.
I tried also with 2 of the blade 8420 service processors,
the same problem. I'm absolutely sure the password is typed correctly,
no caps lock, no case problem. I changed the password via the ILOM web
management page. The CMM firmware is 1.1.5, Blade SP 1.1.12,
build 19265.
There has been no firmware update, all was started right out of
the delivered box and worked well until that point.

Now the big question: How do I ever get access to the CMM or the locked
blade service processors again ??? I've still 3 Blade SP processors
which I didn't change, is there a way to get to the CMM from there
(single signon was enabled on all components) ? We've not installed
any OS yet, and there's no factory OS installed, so no way to get
there via IPMI from Solaris.

Some people replied suggesting using 'lsof', but as mentioned I didn't
want to do this. The other suggestion was to use the 'pfiles' command.
This will indeed show the executable name that is using a port, but the
man page for pfiles does contain a warning:

=====================================================
     The following proc tools stop their target  processes  while
     inspecting them and reporting the results: pfiles, pldd, and
     pstack.

     A process can do nothing while it  is  stopped.  Stopping  a
     heavily used process in a production environment, even for a
     short amount of time, can cause severe bottlenecks and  even
     hangs  of these processes, causing them to be unavailable to
     users. Some databases could also terminate abnormally. Thus,
     for  example,  a database server under heavy load could hang
     when one of the database processes is traced using the above
     mentioned  proc tools. Because of this, stopping a UNIX pro-
     cess in a production environment should be avoided.
=====================================================

In this instance I would need to loop through all the processes in /proc
(perhaps using 'ptree -a'), and then use pfiles on each PID to see if it
has the relevant port open. If it does, then extract the executable
pathname. It does work, but my concern, given the above warning, is that
many processes may need to be stopped before the relevant executable is
found. Probably not a problem if the server is not under load.

As usual thanks for the fast response. Too many folks to list but you know who
you are.

If no other zfs filesystems are needed I can use the zpool as my only
filesystem. However, I can also mount local/local1 to /any_mount_point using
the following command.

zfs set mountpoint=/any_mount_point local/local1

Thanks again crew!

Hello all,

thanks to

"Brad Morrison" <brad.morrison at gmail.com>

and others who pointed into the right direction.

I moved the old file - which was still growing - away and did

	touch /var/adm/wtmpx

This last step is important. The system will not create the file if it 
does not exist. Now "last -a" gives me current logins again. Obviously 
the old kfile got corrupt somehow, so that last was not able to read it 
completely.

Thanks,

    Andreas
