Anthony Florendo
Thanks for the reply. I did the change but this did not fix it.

Alan Pae,
Thanks for the hint. What i did was copying a /usr/local/etc/moduli from
another machine which is operational. That error went off the logs. But te
other still remails

Thanks for all your help, esp. George.

This problem looks to be a sun bug.


If you have Sunsolve access please have a look for the following;
Document ID:    6245274
Title:    SVM: Adding new host to an existing diskset fails with
"metaset: <host>: No such file or directory"

There is a patch (apparently) to fix the problem, but is our case, this
will have to be done at the weekend so I don't know if it works.

Thanks to to everyone who replied. It seems like the path of least  
resistence is to up the start up script in either /etc/rc2.d or /etc/ 
rc3.d which seems reasonable to me. Several others said I need to  
creaete an svcs profile and then have it started by svcadm.

I was also referred to http://www.sunfreeware.com/sshsol10.html and  http://www.sunfreeware.com/sshsol10.html 
  for info about SMF and how to set this up vis svcs and svcadm. The  
advantage over just putting a startup script in /etc/rc2.d or /etc/ 
rc3.d is that it gives you more control over the ssh service; however,  
this is control that I do not need at this time.

One person asked why I don't use the bult-in ssh that comes with  
Solaris 10? The primary reason is, after spending a good solid day on  
setting it up, neither me nor my manager were able to get it to work  
properly, so we decided to go with Open SSH which is more current  
anyway. Other than the start up question, Open SSH 4.7 works great on  
our T2000.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question. Your answers were all  
very helpful.

Subject: Summary:  NFS speedup
Message-ID: <OFD8571BAA.2EF6B983-ON882573A9.00530A4A-882573A9.00548741@reviewjournal.com>

Last week I'd asked for help on speeding up NFS over gigabit for large 
file transfers (several sybase databases over 100-500GB each)
dumped via NFS to v240s.

Thanks to Joe Fletcher and Vitaly Porotikov for useful information.
Joe suggested that I just dump my v880's and go to x64.
Vitaly suggested jumbo frames.
I can't do either at the moment but I can look at their other suggestions:

Joe suggested tweaking maxphys

set maxphys=1048576
set md:md_maxphys=1048576

which I already had set and he has the following tweaks in a startup 
script:

#!/bin/sh
#
#
# Setup for Giga Bit Ethernet
#

case "$1" in
'start')
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_xmit_hiwat 65535
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 65535
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/udp udp_xmit_hiwat 65535
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/udp udp_recv_hiwat 65535
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_max_buf 262144
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_deferred_ack_interval 100
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_dupack_fast_retransmit 2
        /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_slow_start_initial 4
                echo gbit_ndd done
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/gbit_ndd { start | stop }"
        ;;
esac
exit 0

In his testing (he sent me the results) he get's full speed gig-e 
(100MB/sec) over the wire.
------
Vitaly sent the following tips addressing NFS tuning and TCP tuning:

2. adjust nfs kernel:

   - nfs3_nra -> 16~32
   - nfs3_bsize -> 65536 and hence you can increase rsize (nfs mount 
option) -> 65536 
   - nfs3_max_transfer_size -> 65536 
   - clnt_max_conns -> 16~32
   - sq_max_size -> 25~100

 use 'mdb -kw' to change on the fly

 3. adjust tcp parameters:

   tcp_max_buf -> 1~4MB
   tcp_cwnd_max->1~4M
   tcp_xmit_hiwat -> 131072~1M
   tcp_recv_hiwat -> 131072~1M
   tcp_wscale_always -> 1

 use ndd to change
 
 4. use 'nocto', 'noac' option for nfs mount

Subject: SUMMARY - V880 CPU temp seems high - sparc US3+
Message-ID: <s7592750.058@GWIADom>

HI, Got answer fom a very helpful list member Adrian Cole.

#prtpicl -v -c temperature-sensor

This will allow you to see the operating range of the CPU's

This will look at the fru info on the CPU and display it to the screen.
The temps are different from system to system, and CPU to CPU.
The info in the fru id is set at manufacturing, and can varie from CPU speed
to CPU type. It should not be assumed that there is a default temp for all
CPUs.

.....
My output for that CPU show's

  :HighShutdownThreshold         100
  :HighWarningThreshold  95
  :LowShutdownThreshold  -15
  :LowWarningThreshold   -10
  :Temperature   75
  :FaultInformation      NO_FAULT
  :State         OK
  :_class        temperature-sensor
  :name  CPU7_DIE_TEMPERATURE_SENSOR


So its well within stated range.

Thanks

Laurence

Subject: SUMMARY: metadb output question
Message-ID: <46cd475b0712090707n1bf3414bqf0a13263f9204228@mail.gmail.com>

Thank you to everyone who replied. The overall consensus is that a reboot
will get the extra flags on the metadb output showing up as expected. But
the system is not performing in a degraded state until you reboot. So in
other words, don't reboot because of this, wait until you were going to do a
reboot for some other reason.

Original question:

Hello Sunmanagers, I recently added another mirrored slice d4, with
submirrors d14 and d24 to one of our systems with SVM. I created this slice
and another slice for meta-database replicas on untouched drives in the
server. At the end of the process I added the metadb replicas to there
slices like so:

metadb -a -c 3 c0t2d0s7 c4t2d0s7

This worked fine but when I do a metadb -i they show up without some of the
flags. Specifically these:

p - replica's location was patched in kernel
l - locator for this replica was read successfully
o - replica active prior to last mddb configuration change

Though they have the 'a' and 'u' flags. See output below. My question is
why? Is this something I need to worry about? How do I get the replica's
location patched in the kernel, etc..

Thank you for any help.

Fixed it. It turned out to be a confusion with the network card specification
in one of the config files, which meant that the boot was looking for a bge
card instead of a bnx. In essence I had an invalid sysidcfg file.

The two most useful links I used in the process were thus:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5506/epucy?a=view

ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/software/solaris/455522-001.pdf

The compaq doc is good for miniroot prep and additional driver installs (bnx
and cpqary3 being the most important).

Cheers

Joe

Hi,

In typical fashion, 5 mins after I sent this I had a breakthrough and found
an
obscure typo in menu.1st.XXXXXX for the client. Now however, I seem to be

Anyone got a sample bootenv.rc?

Cheers

Has anyone got a crib sheet for building a jumpstart for Proliants running

I've been working at this for a week and I can't get past the thing ending up

I'm probably missing something trivial but I can't see what.

Any and all assistance accepted.

Message-ID: <dc0f55190712120710m7b2cedc9q34f1978fec5056fc@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Guys,
Replies below. Basically, cables were ok, and it was a combination of two
problems:

1) As Brad said, the controller... one of the 3 controllers on the machine
was broken, and after checking everything we manage to find the issues
there, isolate it, and voila! no more errors.

2) condensation on the back of the server... really odd, but it looks like
at the back of the server there was some tiny little drops of water, we
checked everything and nothing was leaking, nor dripping liquid... then we
saw that the server is installed on a communcation rack with a solid door at
the front (air-flow on the V240 is from the front to the back). We
dismounted the front door, and magic! no more condensation...

It seems to be working now... but this is one I won't forget easily...

Cheers and thanks to everyone!

Pablo.-.

Hi Gurus,
I need some confirmation... I'm troubleshooting a remote server:

SunFire V240 + D2 JB.

We have 2 RAID 5 configured on the server.

Everything was working fine until we moved the box to the server room into a
controlled environment... now 2-3 times a week, we get the following set of
errors:

WARNING: /pci at 1d,700000/pci at 1/scsi at 4 (qus0):
        SCSI Bus Transition
WARNING: /pci at 1d,700000/pci at 1/scsi at 4 (qus0):
        Received unexpected SCSI Reset

Then a few hours after we get the warnings, we loose the disks, the RAIDs,
everything on the external array....

My guesses here:
1- Problem with the termination of the SCSI chain - the D2 have automatic
terminators, but I'm guessing some problem with them can be causing this.
2- Problems with the SCSI cables, some of the pins, or something is wrong,
and they might be a bit loose, with the vibration from the storoage array
the pop out, and we start getting the issues.
3- SCSI controller issues... but I don't understand how this could be the
cause as the errors should be more frequent, or they should be there all the
time.
4- a couple fo the disks on one of the pictures I got of the array look
that they don't have the "cover" on (the tray to slot them into the
array)... so they might be moving... but why all the other ones go off?

The server is in a very humid environment, but we moved it into the data
centre because we thought that the A/C will help to reduce the problem...
but it just made it worse.

Any comments, ideas, suggestions are very welcome

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pablo.-.

Another common problem with the copper cables is bent pins.  Check
each cable end carefully for any of the small pins that might not be
straight.

Hi

 Same thing happened to me also 2 months before. Ours too in a humid environ
ment.What I did was i just opened the whole Server and reseated every thing
including HDDs, RAMs and even the scsi connectors, Try, this will surely
solve the poblem. Dont do it in a hurry. take ur own time and do this .

Moving the server to an A/C room was most definitely the right thing.
A/C both cools and dehumidifies.

I do not believe there is any issue with not having the cover on the
case.  It is purely decorational.

I would suspect the cables first, since they are easily replaced.  Do
you have someone who can support the machines in this remote site?  I
would have him or her replace all of the SCSI cables.  If after a
couple of weeks the problem recurs, then its time to suspect the (much
harder to fix) internal bus termination.

I'm getting the cables replaced this week, if that fails, I will connect the
whole array to only one dual-controller, and if that fails, then I will put
the server on fire and ask for a new one ;)

It's almost certainly the controller, if you've checked all of the other
physical elements you listed.

Bad SCSI controllers are 100% unpredictable. Unfortunately, they're on the
mainboard for a v240.

Thank you to all who responded. Your contributions  were very insightful and helpful.

I cannot even explain the weekly reboot and have even indicated to my boss that it is not really necessary to do the weekly reboot but they are used to the weekly reboot (this is a new environment before-operations wise) and seem to want to stick to it. I am however looking into other people's opinions, experiences in similar environments so that I can make recommendations with practical experience (yours) backing rather than on what I know only.

This is a  very helpful forum for sharing experiences,  knowledge and getting  help. 
 
 Hike, there is no need to be mean.
My email was asking for your own personal experiences not the sun recommendations. That is why i asked what kind of environment you are in.

Sun Managers,

I received 3 e-mails asking for a summary because they had similar 
issues. One e-mail from Bryan Allen with a perl daemon that checks the 
fault manager periodically for errors.

I was hoping Sun had some sort of Diagnostic Reporter similar to the 
3000 arrays. After the lack of responses from Sunmanagers mailing list I 
opened up a case with Sun and was told no such tool exists.

Hopefully Sun will provide something in the future but at the moment it 
looks like you have to write your own / use a 3rd party script to 
periodically check the fault manager or zfs status.

Thank you,

Hi all,

Thanks to all who replied.  Special thanks to Casper from Sun who was really 
fast, plus some others hit the problem on the head (Paul Piraino, Rafael 
Angarita, Brett Lymn, Ketan Patel).  When running fsck across the system, the 
result was that there were 0 blocks free, despite there being 181Mb free.  
This caused the file system full condition that I saw.

The only solution was to move the data to another partition, newfs the 
existing partition, and move the data back.  Even with that, I still have 
disk full problems when there is 58Mb free.

fsck output before a newfs:
devel:/home# umount Build
devel:/home# fsck /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** Last Mounted on /home/Build
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
163436 files, 3267222 used, 283984 free (283984 frags, 0 blocks, 8.0% 
fragmentation)

fsck output after a newfs, moving the data back, and continuing (disk full 
again):
devel:/home# umount Build/
devel:/home# fsck /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** /dev/md/rdsk/d60
** Last Mounted on /home/Build
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
170998 files, 3509262 used, 95704 free (79608 frags, 2012 blocks, 2.2% 
fragmentation)

devel:/home/Build# df -g .
/home/Build        (/dev/md/dsk/d60   ):         8192 block size          1024 
frag size
 7217116 total blocks     191408 free blocks   119238 available         430080 
total files
  259080 free files     22282300 filesys id
     ufs fstype       0x00000004 flag             255 filename length


At this point, I will leave it as I have other things to worry about (a v440 
with load average spikes of 60-110!).  The only remaining options are to 
either delete old data or grow the partition as the blocks appear to be 
exhausted.

Thanks and regards to everybody who responded!
Markus

Message-ID: <21868AF0-5C95-4DDF-B5FD-585E7DF972C2@transcomus.com>

This summary deals more with the hanging system we were experiencing  
both trying to get to single user mode and in multi-user mode.   The  
symptoms were that in multiuser boot, the machine would hang after  
stating:

NIS domain name is:

We were able to determine that svc:/network/initial:default was the  
service that was hanging by booting with  -m verbose.  Once we  
determined that was the service that was hanging up, we were able to  
boot by issuing a -m milestone=none and then issued a svcadm disable  
svc:/network/initial:default after which time the box started booting  
normally.

We'll still not sure why the machine was insisting on displaying:

nis hostname is

at boot  because we used svcadm to disable all NIS related services  
with the following commands:

svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/server:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/passwd:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/update:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/xfr:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/nis/client:default
svcadm disable svc:/network/rpc/nisplus:default

Sorry for wasting your time. If I would have read this link

COMPLETELY!
I would have noticed it said this.

"For SCSI-attached StorEdge arrays (A1000/A3000/A3500), the array is 
reset when the attached host reboots. Therefore, rebooting the attached 
host before 828 days of continuous uptime will prevent this issue from 
occurring."


Sorry for wasting cpu cycles.

Message-ID: <dd4da0390712200801w1d990fdatde8ed93a6d110a56@mail.gmail.com>

Thanks for the responses I received on this question/suggestion.

First of all, I want to shoot down the concept of using expect
with ssh - I had used this as a quick and dirty way to check
the date command over multiple systems after the DST changes
earlier in the year, and started doing metastat checks
from my desktop with a similar method.  We normally
never do that.  ssh public keys are the way to go for
any scripted commands from the ssh family.

Someone emailed me a copy of metacheck - a script
name I find both on open source and from Sun, although
the one I was emailed was from Sun.  It seems the best.

The solution I was looking for is documented
at Sun.  Here one can find information on using mdmonitord
for Solaris 10.  The Sun resource also lists a copy of the
Sun metacheck script which can be set up nicely to
email from each host doing the check if Solaris is 9 and under.

Some people suggested SNMP for monitoring, and that is
mentioned at this Sun Volume Manager Admin Guide as well:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4520/tasks-snmp-1?a=view

I will ditch the ssh + remote command concept and implement
Sun's metacheck on older Solaris boxes as this is the most thorough solution.

Sun Managers,

After exchanging a few e-mails with Doug Hughes who replied to my 
summary. I was inspired to try snmp traps despite being told by a Sun 
engineer that the X4500 ILOM did not produce traps for disk events. This 
isn't quite what I was looking for but it will "do the trick" (tm).

Using NET-SNMP's snmptrapd I was able to setup snmp traps and the X4500 
sent traps which were converted to e-mails on drive disconnections and 
unconfigurations. I am by no means a snmptrapd expert but the following 
info should help others get started if they run into the same issue I did.

- NET-SNMP comes with snmptrapd and a script called traptoemail which 
produces e-mails from traps. The following config file sets up a default 
trap handler to send e-mails

demo:~> cat snmptrapd.conf
###########################################################################
#
# snmptrapd.conf
#
#   - created by the snmpconf configuration program
#
###########################################################################
# SECTION: Trap Handlers
#
#   Here we define what programs are run when a trap is
#   received by the trap receiver.

# traphandle: When traps are received, a program can be run.
#   When traps are received, the list of configured trap
#   handles is consulted and any configured program is run.
#   If no handler is found, any handler with "default" as the
#   traphandle type is run instead.  The information contained
#   in trap is passed to the program via standard input (see
#   the snmptrapd.conf manual page for details).
#
#   arguments: oid|"default" program args

traphandle  default /usr/bin/traptoemail -f foo at bar.com -s 
mailhost.bar.com foo at bar.com

- Download the X4500 MIBs from the Sun 
(http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4500/downloads.jsp)
- Copy the SUN-ILOM-PET-EVENTS to the mib directory for NET-SNMP.

demo:~/common/snmp> cp SUN-ILOM-PET-EVENTS.mib 
/usr/share/snmp/mibs/SUN-ILOM-PET-EVENTS.txt

- Start snmptrapd have it load the above config file and 
SUN-ILOM-PET-EVENTS mib.

demo:~> snmptrapd -m SUN-ILOM-PET-MIB -c ./snmptrapd.conf

- Configure the X4500 (Thumper) ILOM to send snmp traps.
    - Configuration -> Alert Management
    - Point the alerts to your snmptrapd host (the alert type will read 
impipet)


- The following is an example mail when a drive was removed from the X4500.

I forgot to mention that I also installed 2GB additional RAM. After 
removing the SCSI card the problem still occured. I removed the 
additional RAM, the problem was gone. I reinstalled the additional RAM, 
the problem still did not occur again. I reinstalled the SCSI-card and 
all seems fine now. May be one of the memory cards did not have enough 
electrical contact to the motherboard.

The installation is running now. The weird and a bit annoying part 
(though no problem in my special case) is that after installing the 
SCSI-Adaptor the device paths have changed. Normally the two firewire 
disks in a SF 280R are

	c1t0d0
	c1t1d0

Now the installation routines shows these disks at

	c4t0d0
	c4t1d0

As mentioned that's no problem in my case since I am reinstalling the 
os anyway, but doesn't that mean that installing a SCSI-card in a 
system breaks an existing os installation? I assume disksuite prefers 
cXt0d0 for the mirrored disks not to change!?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

   Andreas

Dear managers,

thanks for your responses again:

The built-in SCSI-adaptor is for connecting tapes only (upto 4). For 
connecting a D1000 one needs a High-Voltage-Differential-HBA like 
X6541A and corresponding cables.

Thanks,

   Andreas

Message-ID: <BLU102-W28156C91259D7F739ACB3EDC540@phx.gbl>

Hello SunManagers:

After I spent a long time to look at almost all  possible things on
Solaris-side, it turned out to be a Network Firewall issue. The Firewall was
blocking port 6000. Once it was opened, dtlogin is now working properly!

Thanks to all of those fellow admins to took time from their busy schedules to
extend the helping hand to resolve the issue.

Subject: SUMMARY: Need (preferably) open-source DHCP implementation for
	Solaris 7
Message-ID: <20071231232458.GA26136@gsp.org>

[ This is actually a re-summary; apparently the first one didn't make it out
to the list, as I discovered when doing my usual end-of-the-year check. ]

First, thanks to Peter Kunst, Dan Lowe, Tom Zurita, Renny Koshy, Rick Kelly,
"JV", Andrew Hall and Mike Adams for responding.

Second, and this is why I've rearranged the contents of the disk to make
room for the man pages, Solaris 7 does include DHCP functionality, as in

	ifconfig le0 dhcp up
or
	ifconfig hme0 dhcp up

or whatever the appropriate network interface happens to be.  Provided
there's a functional DHCP server available, that should work (and it
certainly appears to for me).

Third, the ISC (http://www.isc.org/) maintains a reference DHCP
implementation that's available in source code form from their site.
As I've discovered, this is useful not only if you need to use DHCP,
but if you need to understand some of the fine points about how it
works.

Fourth, there's a useful page of notes/tips here:

	http://www.rite-group.com/rich/solaris_dhcp.html

that explains some of the nuances of using DHCP with Solaris.

Fifth, there's a package on Sun Freeware for this as well:

	ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/7/dhcp-3.0.5-sol7-sparc-local.gz
