Subject: SUMMARY: interface nxge question
Message-ID: <8d07e9af0902011519v7f4f43bfx450f122df8521555@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Managers,

Thanks to all who replied.  It depends on which Sun platform you have, the
file is in /platform/sun4x/kernel/drv directory.

I found nxge sample in /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/ on my Sun box in question.

Most managers suggested the followings:

1. Look in /kernel/drv/
2. Create a startup script to set params with ndd, with adv-autoneg-cap = 1

Original question:

Dear Managers,

Which file should I modify to make the interface nxge to stay at 1000
full duplex permanently.
I only know bge.conf file.

Thanks for your help.

                    SunManagers Frequently Asked Questions

   This is collection of common questions posted to the sunmanagers
   mailing list twice a month. It is intended to benefit Sun System
   Managers and reduce traffic to the list by providing quick answers to
   common problems. Keeping with the style of a similar FAQ for
   comp.windows.x, questions marked with a '+' indicate questions new to
   this issue; those with significant changes of content since the last
   issue are marked by '*'

   The Information Files maintainer is John DiMarco <jdd at cs.toronto.edu>.
   All corrections, submissions and FAQ administration-related messages
   should go to <sunmanagers-faq at sunmanagers.org>. Do not send questions,
   subscription or unsubscription requests, or sunmanagers postings to
   this address; they will be quietly ignored.

   The List Server maintainer is Bill Bradford <mrbill at mrbill dot

   1. The Sun-Manager's Mailing list
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.1) How do I read, join, post to, or remove myself from the
   sunmanagers mailing list?

   Point your web browser to http://www.sunmanagers.org

   Persons without web access should send a mail message to
   "sunmanagers-request at sunmanagers.org" containing the single word
   "help".

   Messages can be posted to the list by mailing them to the address
   "sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org". Do not do this until you have read the
   charter/policy (question 1.2) and the "how to post" document at
   http://www.sunmanagers.org.

   The policy and the "how to post" document is sent to the entire list
   twice a month. It is also sent out to every new subscriber and is
   available at http://www.sunmanagers.org.

   The latest version of the FAQ (this file) is available at
   http://www.sunmanagers.org
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.2) What is the Sun-Manager's Charter? What are the rules?

   1: This list is NOT moderated! Every message that is sent to the list
   will be passed on to every member of the list.

   2: Requests to have addresses added or removed from the list should
   NOT be sent to the entire list. Instead, addresses should be added or
   removed via the web page at http://www.sunmanagers.org Similarly, test
   messages of any sort should not be sent to the list.

   3: This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround trouble shooting aid
   for those who administer and manage Sun systems. Its primary purpose
   is to provide the Sun manager with a quick source of information for
   system management problems that are of a time-critical nature.

   4: All responses are to be mailed back to the questioner and are NOT
   to be sent to the entire list. Any response to a list message sent to
   the list, rather than to the person asking the question, will be
   deleted without notice. The person who originally asked the question
   has the responsibility of summarizing the answers and sending the
   entire summary back to the list. When a summary is sent back to the
   list, the word "SUMMARY" should be the first word of the "Subject"
   line.

   5: Discussions on ANY topic are not allowed and will not be tolerated.
   If you want to discuss something, take it to the appropriate Sun
   newsgroup.

   6: If it is not specifically related to Sun system management, then it
   does NOT belong on this list. Requests for vendor recommendations are
   tolerated, provided that the hardware in question is something that
   system managers normally purchase.

   7: Commercial Advertising of any sort on the list is strictly
   prohibited.

   8: Postings about employment, either employment sought or offered, are
   not permitted on this list. Please use a more appropriate forum, e.g.
   one of the newsgroups in the misc.jobs USENET hierarchy.

   9: Requests for software (free or otherwise) should be limited to
   software that is directly related to Sun SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ONLY.

   10: Read the appropriate manuals BEFORE posting, including the "Read
   This First" documents. Oftentimes the manuals contain answers for
   common problems.

   11: When including a traceback from a system panic, make sure that it
   is a symbolic traceback. Numeric tracebacks (the ones included as part
   of the panic message) are not helpful; don't bother sending them to
   the list.

   12: A posting to sunmanagers is not a general invitation to email the
   poster -- if you wish to send email to a sunmanagers poster, the email
   you send should be related to the posting, else it will be unsolicited
   email and may be treated like any other unsolicited email (e.g. spam).
   Sunmanagers is not to be used to collect email addresses of people who
   manage Sun systems. Those who do this not only violate the list's
   policy, but risk seriously offending the very people they are
   attempting to reach.

   13: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...Think before you send a message! Ask
   yourself "is this really appropriate?" There are enough other
   newsgroups and mailing lists around to cover the marginal topics.
   Perhaps there is another forum that is more appropriate? Check the
   list of Sun specific newsgroups included in the FAQ. Perhaps your
   message would be more appropriate there? Remember that Sunmanagers is
   very public: we have thousands of subscribers, all postings are
   archived for posterity on various archive sites, and these sites are
   in turn searchable via various web engines. Submitting a posting is
   irreversible -- once it goes out, it cannot be taken back!

   Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in severe
   chastisement by the list participants. Not only will you succeed in
   looking like a careless fool, and in making Sun Systems Managers all
   over the world annoyed at your incompetence, you may end up damaging
   your professional reputation.
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.3) Are there any public archives for the sunmanagers list?

   Sunmanagers' official archive is accessible at
   http://www.sunmanagers.org All postings are automatically archived. It
   is our policy not to accommodate requests to modify the archives, so
   if you are uncomfortable with your submissions in their entirety being
   public, do not submit them.

   Also, various members also keep their own archives on their own
   initiative. Some of these are public. Here are some we know about:

   http://aa11.cjb.net/sun_managers/index.htm

   Hank Leininger <hlein at progressive-comp dot com> maintains a
   searchable archive site of messages (both questions and summaries) in
   Florida. It can be accessed at:
   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=sun-managers

   Dataman Benelux in the Netherlands hosts a "fuzzy" full-text index of
   the Sun Managers mailing list at:
   http://www.dataman.nl/cgi-bin/sunmanagers

   Manfred Liebchen <liebchen at rrz dot Uni-Koeln dot DE> maintains an
   archive site in Germany. It can be accessed at:
   http://www.uni-koeln.de/RRZK/Abt-Systeme/sun/infos/SUN-MANAGERS/sunman
   .html

   Older summaries (up to mid-1999) are available at
   http://www.latech.edu/sunman.html
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.4) What should I keep in mind when posting to sunmanagers?

     * VERY IMPORTANT! Before you post, read the sunmanager's list
       policy, which is available at http://www.sunmanagers.org
     * Sun Managers is a huge unmoderated mailing list. Every message you
       send will be passed on to every member of the list. This means you
       have access to a much larger audience when you need help, but it
       also means you can embarrass yourself in front of a huge number of
       people, most of them professionals in your field, including
       colleagues, peers, and possible future employers. Further, your
       posting will be archived in various places, some public, some
       private -- we have no way of knowing all the archive locations.
       Some of these archives, including the official one at
       http://www.sunmanagers.org, are web-searchable. It is our policy
       not to accommodate requests to remove or modify postings as
       archived on http://www.sunmanagers.org. Once you submit your
       message, it will be irretrievably accessible to a large number of
       people. There is no "taking it back".
     * Sun Managers is completely voluntary. Nobody is required to help
       you. We are all cooperating by sharing our knowledge. Accept with
       grace whatever responses you get, and don't hound people if they
       are helpful or they won't be the next time.
     * Sun Managers is not the list to use when you run out of other
       places to post. Job postings, PC questions, X questions all have
       their own lists and newsgroups. Use only the appropriate list or
       newsgroup for such things, not Sun Managers. Inappropriate
       postings will only make people annoyed at you.
     * The more information you give about a problem, the easier it is
       for others to help you. This doesn't mean you should uuencode the
       kernel and post it, but you should include your OS version, your
       hardware, and all relevant symptoms of your problem. Unless the
       request is of a general nature, the output of "uname -a" is almost
       certainly helpful.
     * When making a summary, please summarize as much as possible all
       the answers you received, even the ones you didn't decide to
       follow: if you receive several different suggestions, and decided
       on one, remember that somebody else reading the summary may not
       find the suggestion you followed to be the best one in his or her
       situation, and may benefit from one of the suggestions you didn't
       choose.
     * Be generous. If you have the information requested (especially if
       it is obscure) then please respond. You may be the person
       requesting help next time.
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.5) What other forums are there for Suns?

   Other forums that relate to Suns: USENET Newsgroups (accessible via
   "rn", "readnews", "nn", netscape, etc.): There is an entire USENET
   hierarchy devoted to Sun equipment. Some of these groups include:

     * comp.sys.sun.announce - Announcements pertaining to Sun equipment
     * comp.sys.sun.apps - Applications that run on Suns
     * comp.sys.sun.hardware - Sun hardware (and clones too, I think)
     * comp.sys.sun.misc - Miscellaneous
     * comp.sys.sun.wanted - Sun stuff to buy or sell

   Other newsgroups that may also be of interest:
     * comp.unix.solaris - Solaris on all platforms
     * alt.sys.sun - may not be available everywhere
     * comp.sys.sun - newsgroup equivalent of sun-spots

     _________________________________________________________________

   1.6) Where are the answers to questions about old Suns and old
   versions of Solaris?

   Those questions and answers used to be in this FAQ, but since they're
   no longer frequently asked, they've been moved elsewhere.

   The FAQ as of late 2005 contained information about pre-UltraSPARC
   suns and versions of Solaris before Solaris 8, and is available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/faq-2005.

   The FAQ as of late 2000 contained information about pre-SPARC suns,
   early SPARCstations, and SunOS 4.x, and is available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/faq-2000.
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.7) What fields can I use to filter Sun Managers email?

   The following headers will exist in any mail to the list:
  To: sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org
  List-Help: <mailto:sunmanagers-request at sunmanagers.org?subject=help>
  List-Post: <mailto:sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org>

     _________________________________________________________________

   2. Getting Help Over the Net
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.1) How do I find out what patches are available from Sun?

   If you have a software service agreement with Sun, you can use Sun's
   "SunSolve ONLINE" service to obtain patches. Check your service
   agreement for details.

   Many anonymous ftp sites have partial collections of patches.

   WARNING: if you ftp patches from an ftp site, you are trusting
   whomever put them there. To be absolutely safe, get your patches from
   a trusted source.

   Rik Harris <rik.harris at vifp dot monash dot edu dot au> maintains a
   WAIS archive (sun-fixes.src) of most available patch READMEs.

   The Sun User Group (SUG) CD ROM also has a collection of Sun patches.
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.2) * How do I get help migrating to Solaris?

   Start by reading the Solaris FAQ, maintained and posted periodically
   to comp.unix.solaris by Casper Dik <Casper dot Dik at Holland dot Sun
   dot COM>. It can be obtained at
   http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2 Then go to the Solaris
   Security FAQ, maintained by John Pancharian and hosted by IT World at
   http://www.itworld.com/Comp/2377/security-faq/

   Sun has a programme for developers/companies to migrate to Solaris.
   It's documented at http://advantage.sun.com/partners/10moves/.
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.3) How do I access Sun's documentation over the net?

   Sun has a web site devoted to documentation, at http://docs.sun.com
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.4) To which web sites can I go for help?

   This is not a complete list, but:

   First, see the answer to question 2.2.

   Sun's documentation is available at http://docs.sun.com You can search
   the Sun newsgroups at http://www.dejanews.com Sun-Managers Archives
   are described in the answer to question 1.3 above.

   Some sites suggested by Jeffrey Meltzer <meltzer at villagenet dot
   com> are:
     * SolarisGuide - http://www.solarisguide.com
     * SunHelp - http://www.sunhelp.org
     * SolarisCentral - http://www.solariscentral.org
     * SunGuru - http://www.sunguru.com
     * SunFreeware - http://www.sunfreeware.com

   TechTarget has a search engine at
   http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com that also covers Solaris.

   Eric De Mund <ead at ixian dot com> suggests the BigAdmin site run by
   Sun, at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin

   Alan Pae <alanpae at ilkda dot com> suggests Sun Country, at
   http://www.ilkda.com
     _________________________________________________________________

   3. Network Directory and Files Services
     _________________________________________________________________

   3.1) How do I use DNS for hostname resolution?

   In Solaris 2.x, this is easy: simply edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and put
   "dns" before (or instead of) nis or nisplus on the line that begins
   with "hosts:". For example, to look up hostnames first in the host
   file and then in the DNS, use "hosts: files dns"
     _________________________________________________________________

   3.2) How do I change NIS+ credentials for the root master server?

   If an NIS+ system is functioning correctly and only the root password
   and root private keys for the system need to be changed, follow these
   steps:

   1) Login as root for the system and change the root password in the
   /etc/shadow file:
        {root}3% passwd
        passwd:  Changing password for root
        New password:
        Re-enter new password:
        {root}4%

   2) Change the system's private key in the cred table:
        {root}4% chkey -p
        Updating nisplus publickey database.
        Reencrypting key for 'unix.ramayan at bharat.i n'.
        Please enter the Secure-RPC password for root:  <enter old passwd>
        Please enter the login password for root:       <enter new passwd>
        {root}5%

   3) If running replica server(s) then wait until the changes to the
   credential object table has been propagated to its replicas. This
   could be up to 2 minutes.

   4) Change the system's /etc/.rootkey:
        {root}5% keylogin -r
        Password:                               <enter new passwd>
        Wrote secret key into /etc/.rootkey
        {root}6%

   The procedure above will work for any system -- root server, root
   replica, non-root servers, and all clients. The steps above change
   only the system's root password and private keys, not the public keys
   for the system.

   Thanks to Ronald W. Henderson <rwh at atmos dot albany dot edu>.

   However, if you want to change all the root credentials, including the
   public key, follow these steps:

   Use the passwd command on the root master server to change the root
   password. But DO NOT follow this with a chkey -p to update the
   credentials for the root master server, because this will disable the
   entire NIS+ domain. The only way to recover from this is to rebuild
   the domain from scratch!

   It is possible to change the credentials of the root master server,
   but it is not easy. The procedure follows:

   To change the keys for the root master server do as follows:
  1. use these commands in this order:

         nisupdkeys -CH master.server.name. groups_dir.domain.name.
         nisupdkeys -CH master.server.name. org_dir.domain.name.
         nisupdkeys -CH master.server.name. domain.name.

         (This CLEARS the public key for the HOST "master.server.name" in this
  directory.)

  2. Kill rpc.nisd and restart it at security level O then run this command:

         nistbladm -R cname=master.server.name. cred.org_dir.domain.name.
         nisaddcred des

         <This deletes the old credential and creates a new one.>

  3. Shutdown and restart any replicas of org_dir.domain.name. at run level O

         nisping org_dir.domain.name.

  <This propogates the new key pair to the replicas.>

         nisdupdkeys domain.name.
         nisupddkeys org_dir.domain.name.
         nisupdkeys groups_dir.domain.name.

         <This puts the new credential in the effected directory objects.>

  4. Kill and restart all rpc.nisd servers at level O to security level 2.

   Note that changing a server's key affects all directory objects
   containing the key.

   3.3) When I compile something, errors occur saying _dlopen and other
   _dl routines can't be found. Why?

   You are probably trying to compile something statically. You must
   either include stub routines for the _dl routines, or you must link
   the C library (or -ldl) dynamically. The source code below provides
   do-nothing stubs for the routines in question.

        /* libdl stubs -- John DiMarco <jdd at cs.toronto.edu> */
        char *dgettext(domainname, msgid)
        char *domainname;
        char *msgid;
        { return(msgid); }

        void *dlopen(pathname, mode)
        char *pathname;
        int mode;
        { return((void *)NULL); }

        void *dlsym(handle, name)
        void *handle;
        char *name;
        { return((void *)NULL); }

        char *dlerror()
        { return(NULL); }

        int dlclose(handle)
        void *handle;
        { return(0); }

   4. Window Systems
     _________________________________________________________________

   4.1) + What Window system GUIs are supported by Sun?

   Sun's default window system for Solaris is CDE; Gnome is also
   supported. Sun's Java Desktop System and the Sunray software for Linux
   uses Gnome.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5. Disks, Tapes and SCSI
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.1) * What sector/head/cylinders parameters should be used for a hard
   disk?

   The format program can almost always figure this out on its own by
   querying the drive, but if you wish, you can specify your own in
   /etc/format.dat.

   A format.dat file containing entries submitted by various people is
   available for anonymous ftp at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/format.dat It is
   currently maintained by John DiMarco (jdd at cs.toronto.edu). New entries
   are welcome; mail them to sunmanagers-format at sunmanagers.org

   For SCSI disks on modern suns, a format.dat entry can be
   auto-generated using John DiMarco's scsiinfo program, available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/scsiinfo/. It will query the disk
   directly, and has an option to generate an appropriate format.dat
   entry.

   Finally, you can compute your own entry. For SCSI disks, any
   combination of cylinders, heads, and sectors that does not add up to
   more than the rated formatted capacity of the drive will normally
   work. A grossly different geometry may result in some slight
   performance degradation, but it should still work. The SCSI protocol
   hides most of the drive details from the host, and hence the host need
   not know much about the drive to format or use it.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.2) * Can I replace an internal drive in a Sun with a higher capacity
   model?

   Yes, usually. If you purchase it from someone other than Sun, it is
   wisest to make sure that it is either a model of drive that is
   supported by Sun for that machine, or that it at least does not
   dissipate more heat than the hottest of the drives supported by Sun.
   The Sun Systems Handbook lists various drives supported on various
   models; you can query it on the web for modern Suns at
   http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems. For systems which are
   not maximally configured (e.g. there are empty internal drive bays),
   it might be safe to exceed this limit a bit, but caveat emptor.

   Disk drive heat dissipation/power figures are available on the drive's
   datasheet, available on the drive vendor's web site. The most relevant
   figure is the wattage indicated for "Read/Write" or "Seek".
   Unfortunately, different vendors report this in different ways; read
   the vendor's documentation to see what this figure indicates. This
   figure is sometimes indicated in amps at 5V and 12V; convert to watts
   by multiplying the voltage by the amperage in each case, and adding
   the two together.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.3) Is it okay to disconnect or connect SCSI devices while powered
   on?

   On older machines (without onboard SCSI controllers), it is never a
   good idea to do this. You risk blowing a fuse on the CPU board, or
   part of the SCSI hardware. On newer machines (sparcstations and
   later), many people have done this regularly without problems. Halt
   the machine (sync;L1-A), remove or add the device, then continue.
   However, it is possible to blow the SCSI termination power fuse on the
   motherboard. If your machine hangs immediately on powerup unless the
   SCSI bus is externally terminated, this fuse may need to be replaced.
   Caveat Emptor.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.4) How do I configure my sun to use Exabyte 4mm DAT tape drives?

   Add the following to /kernel/drv/st.conf:
    tape-config-list =
      "EXABYTE EXB-4200", "Exabyte 4mm EXB-4200", "EXBT-4200",
      "EXABYTE EXB-4200c", "Exabyte 4mm EXB-4200c", "EXBT-4200c"

    EXBT-4200 = 1,0x34,1024,0x0029,4,0x63,0,0,0,3;
    EXBT-4200c = 1,0x34,1024,0x0029,4,0x63,0,0x13,0,3;

   Exabyte also recommends that their 4mm tape drives have firmware
   revision levels of at least the following when used on suns:
     * EXB-4200 No restriction, but revision 148 or higher is recommended
     * EXB-4200c Level 149 minimum (mode select for compression)

   Thanks to Dave Hightower <hightowr at afwc dot af dot mil>.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.5) Why is tagged queueing a problem on my third-party disk?

   Tagged Command Queueing (TCQ) is an optional part of the SCSI-2
   specification. It permits a drive to accept multiple I/O requests for
   execution later. These requests are "tagged" by a reusable id so that
   the drive and the OS can keep track of them. The drive can reorder
   these requests to optimize seeks. For more details, see the SCSI-2
   specifications. A draft version is available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/scsi-doc/scsi2.10b.gz

   SunOS 4.x and earlier never uses tagged queueing. However, Solaris 2.x
   will make use of tagged queuing if the drive claims to support it.
   Unfortunately, some drive manufacturers have found it hard to design
   their drives to do tagged queueing properly, and this particular area
   has been a common source of bugs in drive firmware.

   If it is not possible to turn off tagged queueing in the drive that is
   causing the problem, Solaris 2.x can be told not to use tagged
   queueing at all, by putting the following line in /etc/system:

   set scsi_options & ~0x80

   The "scsi_options" kernel variable contains a number of bit flags
   which are defined in /usr/include/sys/scsi/conf/autoconf.h. 0x80
   corresponds to tagged queueing.

   However, this turns off tagged queueing for the entire machine, not
   just the problematic drive. Because tagged queueing can provide a
   significant performance enhancement for busy drives, this may not
   always be desirable. In Solaris 2.4 and later, it is possible to
   disable tagged queueing and set or clear other scsi options on a
   per-controller or per-drive basis. The appropriate technique is
   described in the esp(7) and isp(7) man pages.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.6) Why don't third-party CD-ROMS work on my sun?

   When Sun first decided to add CD-ROM support, there were already a
   great number of systems in the field, all of which contained boot
   proms that expected to boot from disks with 512 byte sectors. Sun had
   to decide between replacing a whole lot of boot proms or finding a way
   to make a CDROM act like a disk with 512 byte sectors in order to
   support it as a boot device. They chose the latter approach.

   Many third party CD-ROM drives use 1024 or 2048-byte sectors, which
   causes the SCSI driver to see a "data overrun". When the driver asks
   for N "blocks" (which it thinks are 512 bytes each ) it gets more data
   back than it expected.

   Some CD-ROM drives can be told to use 512 byte sectors by setting a
   jumper, cutting a trace, or using a software command (mode select).
   Details vary widely, but if you are seeing a data overrun on a third
   party CD-ROM, then it is most likely doing 1K or 2K transfers and will
   need some work to be a boot device for a Sun.

   Thanks to Kevin Sheehan <Kevin dot Sheehan at uniq dot com dot au>

   For more information about third-party CD-ROMS on Suns, consult the
   CD-ROM FAQ, maintained by Mike Frisch <mfrisch at saturn dot tlug dot
   org> and Martin Hargreaves <martin at datamodl dot demon dot co dot
   uk>. It can be found on the World Wide Web at
   ""http://saturn.tlug.org/suncdfaq". A UK mirror is available at
   ""http://www.datamodl.demon.co.uk/suncd/".
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.7) What size and density parameters should I use for ufsdump with a
   high-capacity tape drive?

   The only purpose of the ufsdump size and density parameters is to let
   dump calculate the capacity of each tape and then decide for itself
   when it needs a new tape. If the filesystem you are dumping is larger
   than the tape, you will need to use more than one tape. But ufsdump
   can detect the end of media for all modern tape drives, and will
   automatically prompt for new tapes when needed, so as long as the size
   and density parameters indicate a tape as long as or longer than the
   one you're using, ufsdump will behave properly.

   Thanks to Niall O Broin <nobroin at esoc dot esa dot de>
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.8) My floppy/cdrom device says "device busy". What do I do?

   The Volume Manager (vold) is probably holding the device open. You can
   access a floppy through the volume manager by typing "volcheck" and
   looking in /floppy/*. CD-ROMs don't require volcheck; just insert one
   and the volume manager should automatically notice, and mount it under
   /cdrom/*. Unmount by typing "eject floppy" or "eject cdrom",
   respectively. The Volume Manager can be configured by editing
   /etc/vold.conf.

   If you need to access a floppy or CD-ROM special device, however, you
   may need to turn off the volume manager. As root, type
   "/etc/init.d/volmgt stop". To turn it back on, type
   "/etc/init.d/volmgt start".
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.9) What software is available for CD-R/CD-RW?

   Commercial Software:

   GEAR by Elektoson - http://www.elektroson.com/ Young Minds -
   http://www.ymi.com/ - High-end integrated hardware/software solution
   Creative Digital Research - http://www.cdr1.com/

   Joerg Schilling has developed an excellent cd recording package called
   cdrecord. This package should meet most needs. See
   http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone
   /employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html for much more
   information, including supported hardware.

   5.10) Where is my disk space? The "du" and "df" commands disagree.

   If a process is holding open a file, and that file is removed, the
   space belonging to the file is not freed until the process either
   exits or closes the file. This space is counted by "df" but not by
   "du". This often happens in /var/log or /var/adm when a long-running
   process (e.g. syslog) is holding open a file. In the case of syslog,
   send it a HUP (e.g. kill -HUP <syslog's process ID>).

   You can use LSOF
   (ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/sysutils/lsof) to find
   which processes are holding open a particular file. Thanks to Stefan
   Voss <s dot voss at terradata.de> and Michael R. Zika <zika at oconto
   dot tamu dot edu>

   Under Solaris 2.6 and later, files which have been unlinked can still
   be accessed through the /proc interface. If a process is holding open
   such a file for writing, but it's inconvenient or impractical to kill
   the process or get it to close the file, you can free up the disk
   space by truncating (not removing) the file from under /proc; e.g.,

        # cd /proc/1234/fd
        # ls -l
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 0
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 1
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 2
        --w-------   1 root    314159265 Jan  1 11:37 3
        # : > 3
        # ls -l
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 0
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 1
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 2
        --w-------   1 root            0 Jan  1 11:38 3

   Thanks to Dan Astoorian <djast at cs dot toronto dot edu>

   Brian Poole <raj at cerias dot purdue dot edu> writes:
           Another possible cause of df & du disagreeing is if the files are
           being 'hidden' under a mount.  I ran into this recently where I
           had a large number of files in /tmp (from adding patches in single
           user mode) that were on the root partition.  Thus when I was
           looking for them in multiuser mode, I couldn't find them because
           of the tmpfs overlay. I exported the root partition via NFS and
           upon mounting it found the hidden files and deleted them.

   6. Resource Management and Performance Tuning
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.1) How do I tell what caused my machine to crash?

   The crash messages will usually be displayed on the console, and are
   usually logged to /var/adm/messages via syslog as well after a warm
   reboot. In older versions of Solaris, the "dmesg" command may also
   show crash messages. If your system repeatedly crashes with similar
   looking errors, try searching through the patch list on the Sun patch
   database for a description that matches your machine.

   In versions of Solaris 2 up to and including Solaris 2.6, uncomment
   the "savecore" line in the file /etc/init.d/sysetup to enable crash
   dumps. As of Solaris 7 and later, crash dumps are enabled by default;
   see the manual page for dumpadm(1M) for information on how to
   customize system dump configuration.

   To report a crash dump, you need a symbolic traceback for it to be
   useful to the person looking at it. Type the following: cd
   /var/crash/`hostname` echo '$c' | adb -k unix.0 vmcore.0

   The "crash" utility can be useful for analyzing crash dumps for
   Solaris up to and including Solaris 8. "Crash" has been superseded by
   "mdb" (modular debugger) as of Solaris 8.

   Thanks to Dan Astoorian <djast at cs dot toronto dot edu>
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.2) What can I do if my machine slows to a crawl or just hangs?

   Try running "ps" to look for large numbers of the duplicate programs
   or processes with a huge size field. Some system daemons occasionally
   can get into a state where they fork repeatedly and eventually swamp
   the system. Killing off the child processes doesn't do any good, so
   you have to find the "master" process. It will usually have the lowest
   pid.

   Another useful approach is to run vmstat to pin down what resource(s)
   your machine is running out of. You can tell vmstat to give ongoing
   reports by specifying a report interval as its first argument.

   The programs "top" and "sps" are good for finding processes that are
   loading your system. "Top" will give you the processes that are
   consuming the most cpu time. "Sps" is a better version of "ps" that
   runs much faster and displays processes in an intuitive manner. Top is
   available at ftp://ftp.groupsys.com/pub/top/. Sps is available at
   ftp://ftp.csv.warwick.ac.uk/pub/solaris2/sps-sol2.tar.gz.

   Doug Hughes <Doug dot Hughes at Eng dot Auburn dot EDU> has written a
   small, quick PS workalike called "qps", available from his web page at
   http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/doug/second.html

   Sometimes you run out of memory and you won't be able to run enough
   commands to even find out what is wrong. You will get messages of the
   type "out of memory" or "no more processes". Note that "out of memory"
   refers to virtual memory, not physical memory. On a Solaris system,
   virtual memory is generally equal to the sum of the swap space and the
   amount of physical memory (less a roughly constant amount for the
   kernel) on the machine. The command "swap -s" will tell you how much
   virtual memory is available.

   You can sync the disks to minimize filesystem corruption if you have
   to crash the system:

   Use the L1-A sequence to crash the system. If you are on an older
   system, type "g0" and you will get the message "panic: ... syncing
   file systems". When you see the word "done", hit L1-A again and
   reboot. On systems with the "new" prom, type "n" to get into the new
   command mode and type "sync".
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.3) How do I find out how much physical memory a machine has?

   Use /usr/sbin/prtconf if the machine is running Solaris. If it's a
   sun4u running Solaris 8 or previous, /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag
   is very helpful. It's /usr/sbin/prtdiag in Solaris 9 and later.

   On high-end machines, /usr/sbin/cfgadm -al can also provide memory
   information.

   The banner message on reboot (or type "banner" in the monitor on
   machines with Openboot proms) will usually report the amount of
   physical memory.

   Alternatively, you can open up the case and count SIMMS and/or memory
   boards.

   A perl script "memconf" is also available that identifies the sizes
   and locations of SIMM/DIMM memory modules installed in a Sun system.
   It also works on several SPARC clones and with Sun Explorer data. It
   is maintained by Tom Schmidt <tschmidt at micron dot com>. Download
   memconf from http://www.4schmidts.com/unix.html
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.4) How do I find out what my machine's memory is being used for? How
   can I tell if I need more memory?

   To discover how much virtual memory (i.e. swap) is free, run "swap -s"
   or "vmstat". If you're using tmpfs for /tmp, "df /tmp" will also work.

   Discovering how physical memory is being used can be more difficult,
   however. Memory pages that are not being used by processes are used as
   a sort of extended cache, storing pages of memory-mapped files for
   possible later use. The kernel keeps only a small set of pages free
   for short-term use, and frees up more on demand. Hence the free memory
   reported by vmstat is not an accurate reflection, for example, of the
   amount of memory available for user processes.

   An easy way to determine whether or not your machine needs more memory
   is to run vmstat and examine the po (page out) column and the sr (scan
   rate) column. If these columns consistently show large numbers, this
   suggests that your machine does not have enough memory to support its
   current workload, and frequently needs to write pages belonging to
   active processes to disk in order to free up enough memory to run the
   current job.
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.5) Why do some files take up more disk space after being copied? Why
   are the sizes reported by ls -l and du different?

   Some files -- core files being one common example -- contain "holes",
   areas which were seeked over without being written. These files are
   called "sparse". When read back, these areas appear to contain zeros;
   however they do not occupy disk space. The "length" of such a file (as
   reported by "ls -l") will exceed its "size" (as reported by "ls -s"
   and reflected in the results of du or df).

   cp, cpio, and tar do not detect holes; they read and copy the zeros,
   and the resulting files will contain all-zero blocks (which occupy
   space) where the input files contained holes (which do not).

   dump will detect holes in the dumped files, and restore will reproduce
   them.

   Thanks to Perry Hutchison <perryh at pluto dot rain dot com>

   GNU tar has an "-S" option which preserves holes, and Joerg
   Schilling's "star" has "-sparse" and "-force_hole" options which can
   be used to preserve and re-insert holes, respectively. star is
   available for download at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star
     _________________________________________________________________

   7. HTTP and Anonymous FTP
     _________________________________________________________________

   7.1) * How do I set up anonymous ftp on my machine?

   See the ftpd man page, and follow its instructions. You will also need
   to set up nsswitch.conf in etc. However, you should consider using a
   different ftpd, such as http://www.wu-ftpd.org.
   Solaris "pkg" versions of proftpd and wuftpd are available at:
   http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/
   ftp://ftp.adelaide.edu.au/pub/4.3/ftpd-sirius.tar.Z

   The stock Sun ftpd will log some information if you add the "-l" flag
   in /etc/inetd.conf:
       ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.ftpd in.ftpd -l

   Warning: it will log passwords of ordinary users.
   Also enable syslogd by adding:
       daemon.info      /var/adm/syslog

   to "/etc/syslog.conf".
     _________________________________________________________________

   7.2) + Where can I get a Web server for Solaris?

   The open-source Apache web server and related tools are available on
   the Solaris Software Companion CD, which is part of the media kit for
   the Solaris distribution. The contents of this CD are also available
   for free download at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware.
   Apache binaries can also be retrieved from the following sites and
   many others:
     * http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware
     * ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/
     * http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
     * http://sunfreeware.com

   The Sun Java System Web server is available for download from Sun at
   http://www.sun.com/software/products/web_srvr/home_web_srvr.xml; the
   Sun Java System Application Server is available for purchase from Sun
   at http://www.sun.com/software/products/appsrvr.

   8. Consoles, Keyboards and Key Remapping
     _________________________________________________________________

   8.1) How do I make the numeric keypad on a sun keyboard work with
   xterm?

   You need to patch the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm and
   $OPENWINHOME/lib/app-defaults/XTerm files as described in sun patch
   100713-01 or later.

   Thanks to Margarita Suarez <marg at manila dot cc dot columbia dot
   edu>
     _________________________________________________________________

   8.2) How do I swap the CAPS LOCK and CONTROL keys on a sun keyboard?

   There are two ways to do it, one with xmodmap (for X11 only), and the
   other using keytables.

   Margarita Suarez <marg at manila dot cc dot columbia dot edu> suggests
   editing $OPENWINHOME/etc/keytables/US5.kt. There are two places where
   keys 119 (CapsLock) and 76 (Control) should be swapped: the MODMAP
   section and the KEYSYMMAP section. The latter is most important,
   because that's where the "Pseudo-Lock" function (which controls the
   locking behaviour of the key) is defined.

   Doug Hughes <Doug dot Hughes at Eng dot Auburn dot EDU> suggests using
   xmodmap with the following:

        remove Lock = Caps_Lock
        remove Control = Control_L
        keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock

   8.3) How do I use a Windows PC for a Sun serial console?

   Wire up a serial cable from the Sun's serial cable to one of the PC
   serial ports. PC serial ports are usually (but not always) DB9
   (9-pin), while Sun serial console ports are usually (but not always)
   25-pin (DB25). You generally need to connect them through a "null
   modem adapter". For more information on serial ports, see Sunhelp's
   UNIX serial port resources page, at
   http://www.sunhelp.org/unix-serial-port-resources

   The next problem is that the version of Hyperterminal which comes with
   some versions of Windows cannot generate a BREAK signal. You can
   obtain a new version of Hyperterminal from
   http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/index.html There are many free
   alternative terminal programs. Special mention should be made of
   TeraTerm: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html which
   has been updated with SSH support as Teraterm Pro, which is available
   from http://www.ayera.com/teraterm

   For newer suns which support ALOM, a serial or telnet connection to
   the ALOM is generally preferable. A pinout of the serial RJ-45 ALOM
   connector can be found in Sun's "Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager
   (ALOM) 1.6 Administration Guide".

   9. Sun models and OS Versions
     _________________________________________________________________

   9.1) * Which Sun models run which versions of SunOS?

   SunOS 5.x = Solaris 2.x
   Sun dropped the "2." when Solaris (2.)7 came out. i.e. Solaris 7 =
   "Solaris 2.7" = SunOS 5.7, Solaris 8 = "Solaris 2.8" = SunOS 5.8 and
   so on.
   In the following list, the specified OS is the earliest supported on
   the specified hardware. Some CPU modules may require later OS versions
   than listed.
     * Ultra 1 model 140, 170: Solaris 2.5
     * Ultra 1 model 140E, 170E, 200E: Solaris 2.5.1
     * Ultra 2: Solaris 2.5.1
     * Ultra 5,10,30,60,250,450: Solaris 2.5.1HW1297 or Solaris 2.6HW0398
     * Ultra Enterprise: Solaris 2.5.1
     * SunBlade 100, SunBlade 1000: Solaris 8HW1000
     * SunBlade 150: Solaris 8 5/03; Solaris 9 4/03
     * 3800, 4800, 4810, 6800: Solaris 8HW0401
     * B100s: Solaris 8 12/02, Solaris 9 4/03
     * V100: Solaris 8 2/02
     * V120: Solaris 8 10/01
     * V210, V240: Solaris 8 12/02, Solaris 9 4/04
     * V250: Solaris 8 7/03, Solaris 9 8/03
     * 280R: Solaris 8 2/02, Solaris 9 12/02
     * V440: Solaris 8 7/03, Solaris 9 12/03
     * V490,V890: Solaris 8 2/04, Solaris 9 4/04, Solaris 10 3/05
     * V880: Solaris 8 10/01, Solaris 9 4/03
     * E2900,E4900,E6900: Solaris 8 2/04, Solaris 9 4/04, Solaris 10 3/05
     * B200x, v20z, v40z: Solaris 9 x86 4/04
     * v20z,v40z single-core: Solaris 10 x86, Solaris 9 HW 4/05 x86
     * v20z,v40z dual-core: Solaris 10 x86, Solaris 9 HW 9/05 x86
     * X2100: Solaris 10 x86
     * X4100,4200: Solaris 10 x86 3/05HW1
     * T1000: Solaris 10 1/06
     * T2000: Solaris 10 3/05HW2

   9.2) How can my program tell what model Sun it is running on?

   On older suns, the model type is encoded in the hostid, and
   /usr/sbin/prtconf will reveal the model type.

   "Suntype", written by John DiMarco (jdd at cs.toronto.edu) is a shell
   script which does the appropriate thing on all suns. It is available
   for anonymous ftp at ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/suntype

   Alternatively, grab Michael Cooper's <mcooper at magnicomp dot com>
   "sysinfo" program, which provides all sorts of information about a
   given system, including the machine type. sysinfo is available on the
   web at http://www.magnicomp.com/, although it is now a commercial
   product that is free only for educational and non-profit
   organizations.
     _________________________________________________________________

   9.3) How do I find out a Sun's boot prom revision?

   Type "banner" at the prom, or type "/usr/sbin/prtconf -V" to determine
   the prom revision of a particular machine.

   Alternatively, grab Michael Cooper's <mcooper at magnicomp dot com>
   "sysinfo" program, which provides all sorts of information about a
   given system, including the prom revision. sysinfo is available on the
   web at http://www.magnicomp.com, although it is now a commercial
   product that is free only for educational and non-profit
   organizations.
     _________________________________________________________________

   9.4) * Which hardware/software is capable of 64-bit? Which is only
   64-bit? How can I tell which is running?

   All UltraSPARC and SPARC64 (Primepower) hardware is capable of running
   in 64-bit mode; earlier SPARCs (HyperSPARC, SuperSPARC, etc.) are
   32-bit only. Only some UltraSPARC-I, UltraSPARC-II, and
   UltraSPARC-II-i systems are capable of both 32-bit and 64-bit
   operation; later UltraSPARC systems are 64-bit only.

   Early UltraSPARC-I hardware (up to 200MHz) suffers from a bug where,
   in 64-bit mode, a certain code sequence can cause the processor to
   stall, and thus UltraSPARC-I machines run in 32-bit mode by default.
   To allow a 64-bit kernel on such a machine, edit/create
   /platform/<platform-name>/boot.conf and add the line:
   ALLOW_64BIT_KERNEL_ON_UltraSPARC_1_CPU=true

   All Sun Opteron hardware is capable of both 64-bit and 32-bit
   operation, but Solaris x86 on some Opteron models (X2100, X4100,
   X4200) runs in 64-bit mode only. Sun Xeon and Pentium-III hardware are
   capable only of 32-bit operation.

   "isainfo -kv" or "isainfo -b" will indicate whether a system is
   running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.
     _________________________________________________________________

   10. Miscellaneous Software
     _________________________________________________________________

   10.1) My remote ufsdump is failing with a "Protocol botched" message.
   What do I do?

   The problem produces output like the following:

        ...
       DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd0a (/) to /dev/nrst8 on host foo
       DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
       DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
       DUMP: estimated 8232 blocks (4.02MB) on 0.00 tape(s).
       DUMP: Protocol to remote tape server botched (in rmtgets).
      rdump: Lost connection to remote host.
       DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 1

   This occurs when something in .cshrc (or .profile) on the remote
   machine prints something to stdout or stderr (eg. stty, echo). The
   remote ufsdump command doesn't expect this, and chokes. Other commands
   which use the rsh protocol (eg. rdist, rtar) may also be affected.

   The way to get around this is to add the following line near the
   beginning of .cshrc, before any command that might send something to
   stdout or stderr:

   if ( ! $?prompt ) exit

   This causes .cshrc to exit when prompt isn't set, which distinguishes
   between remote commands (eg. rdump, rsh) where these variables are not
   set, and interactive sessions (eg. rlogin) where they are.
     _________________________________________________________________

   10.2) * Where can I get a C compiler for Solaris?

   Sun's "Studio" compiler suite can be obtained at
   http://www.sun.com/software/products/studio. Various third-party
   commercial SPARC compilers are also available, including:
     * http://www.ghs.com
     * http://www.apogee.com
     * http://www.windriver.com
     * http://www.pgroup.com
     * http://www.intel.com (Solaris x86 only)

   The open-source GCC compiler and related tools are available on the
   Solaris Software Companion CD, which is part of the media kit for the
   Solaris distribution. The contents of this CD are also available for
   free download at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware Thanks
   to Eric Boutilier <Eric dot Boutilier at Sun dot COM>

   GCC binaries can be retrieved from the following sites and many
   others:

     _________________________________________________________________

   10.3) How do I read Microsoft Word documents on my Sun?

   You can obtain some of the raw content of the document by using the
   "strings" command. Note that Word documents (and documents produced by
   other Microsoft Office programs, like Excel) can sometimes contain
   hidden information that is not normally accessible from Word, but is
   visible using "strings" (this can be a good reason not to distribute
   documents in MS Office formats).

   It is possible to run some versions of Microsoft Word on your Sun,
   using Bochs, WABI, SoftWindows, WinCenter, WinDD, SunPC, or some other
   Windows integration product.

   You can use a word-processor that can import the various MS Word
   formats. For example, Word Perfect from Corel Corporation is capable
   of reading and saving in various MS Word formats. Word Perfect is
   available for several versions of UNIX, including SPARC/Solaris 2.x.
   Sun's StarOffice is available for various operating systems, including
   Solaris/SPARC, from http://www.sun.com/staroffice. OpenOffice is also
   freely available for Solaris x86 and SPARC from
   http://www.openoffice.org.

   From a PC/Mac, you can print postscript output to a file, and view the
   postscript on the Sun using docviewer or ghostscript/ghostview.

   Thomas Anders <anders at hmi dot de> points out that LAOLA (a Perl4
   package that can read Word6 and Word7 format is available on the web
   at http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~schwartz/pmh/.

   Another option (suggested by Thomas <tunixlists at gmail dot com>) is
   a GPL-licensed command-line utility called "antiword". His mutt
   mailcap file is setup as follows:
application/msword; antiword %s; copiousoutput; description="Microsoft Word Tex
t"; nametemplate=%s.doc

   Antiword is available from http://www.winfield.demon.nl.
     _________________________________________________________________

   10.4) How do I restore to a different location the contents of a
   tarfile created with absolute pathnames?

   Tarfiles should not normally be created with absolute pathnames, only
   with relative pathnames. Do not type "tar c /path/name" to create a
   tar archive, type "(cd /path; tar c name)" instead.

   Note: if you do "(cd /path/name; tar c .)", you will indeed avoid
   absolute pathnames, but beware that the tarfile created may silently
   overwrite the permissions of the current directory when unpacked.
   That's OK if you unpack it via:
        "mkdir name; cd name; tar xf /my/tarfile.tar

   That's not OK if you unpack it via:
        "cd /tmp; tar xf /my/tarfile.tar"

   It's not OK because you will change the permissions of /tmp.

   If you do have an archive created with absolute pathnames, you can
   unpack it in a different location by using GNU's version of tar, which
   will strip off the leading /.

   Alternatively, you can use pax to strip off the leading /, as follows:
         pax -r -s '/^\///' <abspath.tar

   Or you can use chroot and a statically linked version of tar, as
   follows:
        cp /usr/sbin/static/tar /tmp/restore
        # cd /tmp/restore
        # cat abspath.tar | chroot /tmp/restore /tar xf -

   11. Miscellaneous Hardware
     _________________________________________________________________

   11.1) * How come my mouse occasionally doesn't work?

   If it is a mechanical mouse, it may need cleaning. Open up the bottom
   panel by rotating it, and remove the mouse ball. Clean the mouse ball.
   With a Q-tip, clean off any grime on the rotors inside the mouse.
     _________________________________________________________________

   11.2) How can I turn my old sun into an X-Terminal?

   You can simply replace the ttymon entry for the console in
   /etc/inittab with a command that starts up an X server.
     _________________________________________________________________

   11.3) * How can I use an SVGA monitor on my Sun?

   Some older suns use a 13W3 video connector, which looks something like
   this:
     -----------------
     \ O O ::::: O /
      -------------

   A simple adapter will connect a Sun to a SVGA multi-sync monitor,
   providing the monitor (like most better monitors these days) will
   accept composite sync and operate in 1152x900 66 Hz (or whatever
   output your sun produces) mode. (Check the manufacturer's data sheets,
   usually on the Web.) Similarly, adapters are available to connect Sun
   13W3 monitors to PCs or newer Suns with SVGA connectors.

   Adapters are available from many vendors: search for 13W3 on Google.

   This and many other interesting facts about Sun video are answered in
   the Framebuffer FAQ, at one of:
     * http://www.uark.edu/sunfaq/FrameBuffer.html
     * http://bul.eecs.umich.edu/~crowej/sunfaq/FrameBuffer.html

   A related FAQ by the same person is the Colormap FAQ at one of:

     _________________________________________________________________

   11.4) Where can I find alternate pointing devices for my Sun?

   Bert N. Sure <bert at virtual dot com> claims that Mousetrak makes an
   excellent line of pointing devices. The url is
   "">http://www.mousetrak.com". SunExpress
   (http://sunexpress.usec.sun.com) and Qualix (http://www.qualix.com)
   distribute them. Bert uses the top-of-the-line "Evolution" trackball,
   which has six user-definable buttons and a large ball which is
   manufactured by a billiard ball company in Belgium.

   For 3-D input, SunExpress (http://sunexpress.usec.sun.com) sells the
   SpaceBall 3003, in addition to the standard Sun "SunDials" product.

   Dan Pritts <danno at ans dot net> indicates that one can buy a box
   from sun called the sun interface converter for $75 that allows you to
   use a ps/2-style keyboard or pointing device, or both, and still use
   your sun keyboard or mouse. In particular, the sun interface converter
   supports the Microsoft "natural keyboard".
     _________________________________________________________________

   12. Networking
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.1) Why do both my net interfaces have the same ethernet address?

   The Ethernet version 2.0 specification (November 1982) states:

          The physical address of each station is set by network
          management to a unique value associated with the station,
          and distinct from the address of any other station on any
          Ethernet.  The setting of the station's physical address
          by network management allows multiple multiple data link
          controllers connected to a single station to respond to
          the same physical address.

   This doesn't normally constitute a problem because each interface will
   typically be on a different subnet. If, for some reason, different
   ethernet addresses are required on different interfaces (for example,
   to attach two interfaces to the same subnet), a new one may be
   assigned using the ifconfig command. Alternatively, for all modern Sun
   hardware, you can set the "local-mac-address?" eeprom variable to
   "true", which will cause each NIC to use a unique MAC address. This is
   needed for many failover and trunking configurations.
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.2) How can I know the hardware vendor from an ethernet address?

   The first three octets of a six-octet ethernet address typically
   uniquely identifies the hardware vendor of the particular network
   interface card. This is called the "Organizationally Unique
   Identifier" (OUI). OUI information, including the most recent list of
   public OUIs can be found at http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui

   Note that it is possible that an unidentified OUI could be used, since
   vendors are not required to make their OUIs public, and many network
   interfaces, including Suns, can be configured to use a custom ethernet
   address, so there is no guarantee that the OUI will correctly identify
   the vendor.
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.3) * How do I set my ethernet interface to e.g. 100Mb full duplex?

   The answer to this question assumes you have an hme ethernet
   interface; similar techniques should work for other ethernet
   interfaces; consult the man page for the ethernet driver (e.g. if you
   have an eri driver, "man eri") for more details. If you are not sure
   which ethernet driver is in use, "ifconfig -a" will tell you. For
   example, if ifconfig -a shows e.g. "hme0", you have an hme ethernet
   interface.

   All of Sun's ethernet network interfaces faster than 10Mbits are
   capable of negotiating with a network switch; if this is working, the
   ethernet interface will automatically choose the fastest supported
   setting. However, this may not necessarily work with some networking
   gear, or there may be some other reason to choose a slower setting,
   e.g. cat3 wiring.

   If the two ends have different ideas about what mode the link is, you
   may see "late collision" messages, dropped packets, or complete
   failure.

   To force a particular mode, e.g. 100Mb FD, you can use ndd as follows:

        # turn off autonegotiation
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap  0
        # turn on 100Mb full-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap   1
        # turn off 100Mb half-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap   0
        # turn off 10Mb full-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap    0
        # turn off 10Mb half-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap    0


   You may have to force the other end (e.g. switch) to use the same
   mode. Consult the manual for your switch. NB: Fast ethernet hubs are
   always 100Mb half-duplex, and ethernet hubs are always 10Mb
   half-duplex.

   If you have more than one hme card in your system, before issuing the
   above ndd commands, you need to first select the specific hme card you
   want to set. For example, to select hme2, type: ndd -set /dev/hme
   instance 2 Subsequent ndd commands to /dev/hme will only apply to
   hme2.

   If you want to force all the hme cards on your system to a specific
   mode at machine boot, you can set hme driver variables in /etc/system.
   For example, to force all hme cards on the system to use 100Mbit FD,
   put the following in /etc/system:

        set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
        set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
        set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
        set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
        set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.4) How do I find out what process is using a particular port?

   Ports are held open in the same way as files are, by file handles
   within the process. In most states, a port will also have a handle
   into another process on the other side of that connection. If you need
   to find out which process is holding open a particular port, run lsof
   (ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/sysutils/lsof) and grep
   for the port number.

   Thanks to Stuart Whitby <swhitby at legato dot com>
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.5) I have a lot of ports in WAIT states. Why?

   The state of sockets can be seen with the "netstat -a" command. When a
   process attempts to close an ESTABLISHED connection, the transition
   will show a number of WAIT states, depending on which stage of the
   shutdown the port is at.

   When the initial FIN is sent from side a) of the connection, side a)
   will change to FIN_WAIT_1, side b) will change to CLOSE_WAIT, and
   acknowledge the FIN packet. The acknowledgement causes side a) to
   change to FIN_WAIT_2. A socket will rarely be in FIN_WAIT_1 for more
   than a couple of seconds unless there is a problem with
   communications. In this state, data may still be sent from side b) to
   side a), but not vice versa. When side b) receives a close from the
   associated application, or the FIN_WAIT_2_FLUSH_INTERVAL is reached
   without data being sent, it will send a FIN and change to LAST_ACK.
   Side a) moves to TIME_WAIT upon receiving this FIN and acknowledges
   the packet, causing any references to this connection on side b) to
   disappear. The socket in TIME_WAIT will remain for twice the maximum
   segment lifetime (normally a total of four minutes) before dropping,
   in case dropped data packets are resent and misinterpreted by a new
   application on this port.

   13. Electronic Mail
     _________________________________________________________________

   13.1) * Where can I get a POP or IMAP server for my sun?

   The PINE email package comes with both a POP and an IMAP server. PINE
   can be found at http://www.washington.edu/imap. An old, unmaintained
   Berkeley popd can be found at ftp://ftp.cc.berkeley.edu/pub/pop (not
   recommended), and Casper Dik's enhanced version of this for Solaris is
   found at ftp://ftp.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/. A POP server can also be
   found as part of the Eudora ftp repository, at
   ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/unix/servers. A faster alternative is the
   CMU Cyrus IMAP server, which changes the mailbox format to something
   that is more efficient. It can be found at
   ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail. The Courier IMAP daemon also
   takes a similar approach; it's available at
   http://www.courier-mta.org/imap. Finally, Dovecot takes an
   intermediate approach by using the standard mailbox format but adding
   some autogenerated index files; Dovecot is available at
   http://dovecot.org.

   If a commercial package is desired, there are many, including Sun's
   Internet Mail Server. See http://www.sun.com

   14. Printing
     _________________________________________________________________

   14.1) + How do I get started with LP-style printing in Solaris?

   Printing is configured using the "lpadmin" interface, which is
   extensively documented. For a general overview, however, start with
   the basic principles of Solaris printing, documented at
   http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/basicprinting.html, and the
   Solaris printing FAQ, at
   http://www.freelab.net/unix/sun/solarisfaq/printfaq.html. More
   information about printing in Solaris is available at
   http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/printing/history.
     _________________________________________________________________

   14.2) How do I configure a non-postscript printer for postscript?

   Use the Printer Compatibility Database at http://www.linuxprinting.org
   (http://www.linuxprinting.org/database.html) to find out if a
   ghostscript driver is available for your non-PS printer. Then you can
   use ghostscript to translate postscript to something the printer can
   understand. There are various "any2ps" scripts and packages around
   (apsfilter, cups, foomatic, magicfilter). Ghostscript and foomatic are
   bundled in Solaris 10.

   Apsfilter in particular is one of the most flexible filters available:
   the most recent version can be found at http://www.apsfilter.org. For
   Solaris 2.x or later, you will need to add a BSD-style printing
   package such as LPRng (http://www.lprng/org): the system-V-style "lp"
   printing package that comes with Solaris will not easily work with
   apsfilter. Thanks to Andreas Klemm <andreas at apsfilter dot org> for
   this information.

   A much older version of APSfilter was posted to comp.sources.misc as

   15.1) I've forgotten the root password; how can I recover?

   You need to have access to the machine's console.

    1. Note the root partition (e.g. /dev/sd0a or /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0)
    2. Hit STOP-A or L1-A (or, on an ASCII terminal or emulator, send a
       <BREAK>) to halt the operating system, if it's running.
    3. Boot single-user from CD-ROM (boot cdrom -s) or network
       install/jumpstart server (boot net -s) (NB: if it asks you for a
       prom password, see below.)
    4. Mount the root partition (e.g. /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0) on "/a". "/a" is
       an empty mount point that exists at this stage of the installation
       procedure. (mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /a)
    5. Set your terminal type so you can use a full-screen editor, e.g.
       vi. (you can skip this step if you know how to use "ex" or "vi"
       from open mode). If you're on a sun console, type "TERM=sun;
       export TERM"; if you're using an ascii terminal (or terminal
       emulator on a PC) for your console, set TERM to the terminal type
       (e.g. TERM=vt100; export TERM).
    6. Edit the passwd file (/a/etc/passwd for SunOS 4.x,
       /a/etc/passwd.adjunct for SunOS 4.x with shadow passwords/C2
       security), /a/etc/shadow for Solaris 2.x and remove the encrypted
       password entry for root
    7. cd to /; Type "umount /a"
    8. reboot as normal in single-user mode ("boot -s"). The root account
       will not have a password. Give it a new one using the passwd
       command.

   PROM passwords:

   Naturally, you may not want anyone with physical access to the machine
   to be able to do the above to erase the root password. Suns have a
   security password mechanism in the PROM which can be set (this is
   turned off by default). The man page for the eeprom command describes
   this feature.

   If security-mode is set to "command", the machine only be booted
   without the prom password from the default device (i.e. booting from
   CD-ROM or install server will require the prom password). Changing the
   root password in this case requires moving the default device (e.g.
   the boot disk) to a different SCSI target (or equivalent), and
   replacing it with a similarly bootable device for which the root
   password is known. If security-mode is set to full, the machine cannot
   be booted without the prom password, even from the default device;
   defeating this requires replacing the NVRAM on the motherboard. "Full"
   security has its drawbacks -- if, during normal operations, the
   machine is power-cycled (e.g. by a power outage) or halted (e.g. by
   STOP-A), it cannot reboot without the intervention of someone who
   knows the prom password.
     _________________________________________________________________

   15.2) How do I disable/remap STOP-A/L1-A?

   First, be sure you want to do this. If the problem is that users are
   halting and rebooting the machine, note that disabling STOP-A will
   merely prompt them to powercycle the machine (or remove and re-insert
   the keyboard plug) instead. This is actually worse.

   But if you're sure you want to do this, compile and run this little
   program.

    /* Enable or disable abort sequence.  John DiMarco <jdd at cs.toronto.edu> */

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/ioctl.h>
    #include <sys/fcntl.h>
    #ifdef FILENAME_MAX
    #include <sys/kbd.h>
    #include <sys/kbio.h>
    #else /* !FILENAME_MAX */
    #include <sundev/kbd.h>
    #include <sundev/kbio.h>
    #endif /* !FILENAME_MAX */

    #define ERR -1
    #define DISABLE 0
    #define ENABLE 1
    #define KEYBOARD "/dev/kbd"

    main(argc,argv)
    int argc;
    char *argv[];
    {
            static struct kiockey k;
            int fd, mode=ERR;

            if(2==argc){
                    switch(*(argv[1])){
                    case 'e':
                            mode=ENABLE;
                            break;
                    case 'd':
                            mode=DISABLE;
                            break;
                    }
            }
            if(ERR==mode){
                     printf("Usage: %s [enable|disable]\n", argv[0]); exit(1);
            }
            if(0>(fd=open(KEYBOARD, O_RDWR))){ perror(KEYBOARD); exit(1); }

            k.kio_tablemask = KIOCABORT1;
            k.kio_station=mode;
            (void)ioctl(fd, KIOCSETKEY, &k);
            printf("Abort sequence is now %s.\n", mode?"enabled":"disabled");
    }

   Stefan Voss <s dot voss at terradata dot de> points out that in
   Solaris 2.6 or later, you can type "kbd -a enable|disable" or put
   "KEYBOARD_ABORT=enable|disable" in /etc/default/kbd.

   As of Solaris 2.6 with patch 105924-10 installed, Solaris 7 with patch
   107589-02 installed, or Solaris 8, you can also set the abort sequence
   to the Alternate Break character sequence ("<Return> ~ <CTRL-B>", with
   at least half a second between characters, and at most 5 seconds for
   the whole string) with the command "kbd -a alternate", or by putting
   "KEYBOARD_ABORT=alternate" into /etc/default/kbd.

   Alternatively, you can disable all break signals by putting the line:

   set abort_enable=0

   into /etc/system, and rebooting.

     _________________________________________________________________

   15.3) How do I manage services in Solaris 10 and later? Do I still
   make links in /etc/rc*.d?

   In Solaris 10 build s10_64 and later, Sun introduced the service
   management facility (smf) which makes /etc/init.d and /etc/rc?.d
   scripts "legacy". Management of the services is now done through svc*
   commands.

   The legacy init.d scripts are now specified as running in run-level
   "milestone". From the man pages:
     * /etc/rcS.d (milestone/single-user:default)
     * /etc/rc2.d (milestone/multi-user:default)
     * /etc/rc3.d (milestone/multi-user-server:default)

   Each service name is now named with a Fault Management Resource
   Identifier (FMRI) with the scheme "svc:". For example, the sendmail
   service would have be "svc:/network/smtp:sendmail".

   You can also abbreviate the FMRI by using the instance name (e.g.
   sendmail) or using the last parts of the service name like:
     * sendmail
     * :sendmail
     * smtp:sendmail

   To check all services in the machine, run "svcs -a". From the list,
   you can enable and disable services through "svcadm".

   To disable, use "svcadm disable [options] <FMRI>". For example: svcadm
   disable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail or svcadm disable sendmail

   One useful option is "-t", to temporarily disable the service until
   reboot.

   To enable, use "svcadm enable [options] <FMRI>". For example: svcadm
   enable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

   Useful options are "-r" to enable the service including all
   dependencies, and "-t" to temporarily disable the service until
   reboot.

   Dependencies and other information on the service can be invoked via
   "svcs -l <FMRI>"

   As an alternative to using "ps" to check service processes, you can
   now use "svcs -p <FMRI>" to list the processes associated with the
   service.

   For further information, check the man pages on smf, svcs, svcadm and
   svcfg.

Subject: SUMMARY: devfsadm problem
Message-ID: <278F8FC019504D61B32B0D235902D30A@in.forthnet.gr>

It seems to be something with the card or the fiber switch.
I tried resetting the emulex card, using lputil.
When I had reseted both lpfc devices, all the attached disks where found. I 
did a reset of both emulex cards and only then did the system detect all the 
paths.

It's not perfect, but for now it works.
The same thing happend when disabling/enabling the fiber switch port.

Message-ID: <B691FF7FC495BD43B96A759DB94653571BFBA3BF@emss09m06.us.lmco.com>

My first attempt at responding to an issue...
Not sure I'm doing this right, but this is my best guess...


If your nfs mounts are not mounting at boot, but mount just 
fine when you try it 'manually' after it boots up, try this.

I just had this problem and a Sun guru figured out *my* problem.
I thought I'd 'share the wealth' a little...


Make sure your nfs client service is enabled:

To see if it is/isn't:
# svcs -l network/nfs/client

If it is 'disabled', enable it:
# svcadm enable network/nfs/client

Hi,

I have a machine running an Oracle database, and a 3rd party

Subject: Net install using tagged vlans
Message-ID: <935NBDRM67926S01.1233769197@cmsweb01.cms.usa.net>

One of my cohorts whilst b
testingb
 on a T5220 had the network group set
up
the primary interface for vlan tagging (also called trunking in Cisco terms),
with e1000103000. Now that the b
testingb
 is complete Ibm trying to
reload the system via the network.  The mac for the primary (e1000g0) is in
the boot serverbs /etc/ethers. When I run b
boot net - installb
 or
b
boot net bsb
 the system keeps trying to request the net address.
Snooping (IP, host name, and MAC) on the boot server shows that the request
is
not being received. Before my buddy made the network changes I had previously
loaded the system via the net with no problems. Is there something special
about booting in a b
taggedb
 (trunked) network?

sendmail still fails to route mails


Problem is not with the PCs because when these PCs point to another
Solaris 9 server, the emails get through.

On the Solaris 10 server, this is the script I used to send email out :

Message-ID: <aa39a5fb0902050659r29aa3649xc120cb31c1e94a8b@mail.gmail.com>

I noticed yesterday that explorer was still running from the weekend on a
T5220 running Solaris 10 8/07, kernel 127127-11.

ptree showed that it stopped at prtpicl and running that on its own as
"prtpicl -v" hangs at the point where it is trying to define the "physical
platform".

Any ideas anyone?



Ciao!

Aha!!  Yes, "ps -ef | grep prtdiag" provided a list of 20+ prtdiag
processes.

Killed them all and guess what, prtpicl ran through and explorer is now
running.

This list still rocks!!

Thanks to all who responded!!

Subject: Apache 2.2.11 from sunfreeware
Message-ID: <529949.97281.qm@web81802.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi Managers,

I have a Fujitsu PrimePower 450 with Solaris 10, that I just fully patched yesterday.  I downloaded from sunfreeware the latest apache, 2.2.11.  I installed all the package prerequisites.  I installed apache with no hitches, but when I try to start it with apachectl, I get this message:

httpd: Syntax error on line 233 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_access.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_access.so: open failed: No such file or directory

Where do I get mod_access.so?  I've googled and searched sunmanagers archive, to no avail.  Any thoughts?

Subject: FQDN for DHCP Solaris 10 and Java Enterprise System install
Message-ID: <37ed01ff0902050917g67e399ack7d8beb9af1a5335e@mail.gmail.com>

I'm having trouble setting the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for Solaris
10 <javascript:void(0)> with DHCP.  I was able to set the hostname but I
can't seem to set the domain name <javascript:void(0)>.  I need the FQDN to
appear when I run the "getent hosts" command, which is a requirement to
install the Java Enterprise System Application Server.

Solaris 10 is using DHCP <javascript:void(0)>.  I'm using the default VMWare
virtual appliance <javascript:void(0)> configuration, while running on
a Windows
XP <javascript:void(0)> host.  I'd like the Solaris hostname and domainname
to work whether I'm at home with a wireless router
<javascript:void(0)>(includes DHCP server) or at work.  The domainname
is one I made up that is
not really registered with DNS.  I just want to be able to install and run
Sun's Application Server on my laptop for testing, so it doesn't have to
have a "real" domain name or a static IP address <javascript:void(0)>.

What I did to set the hostname:
- Edited /etc/default/dhcpagent and set REQUEST_HOSTNAME=yes
- Edited /etc/hostname/vmxnet0 with FQDN, e.g., mylaptopname.example.com
- Ran the command ifconfig vmxnet0 dhcp release
- Ran the command reboot

I verified the hostname by running the command "hostname" and it returned
the simple hostname.

As for the domainname, I tried setting the /etc/resolv.conf file, but it got
rewritten after a reboot and returned to "localdomain" as the domain name.

Can someone tell me how to set the domain name so that the FQDN is returned
when I run "getent hosts"?  My final goal is to install the Java Enterprise
System Application Server which requires the hostname and domain name to be
configured.

Subject: How will Solaris 9 handle a SAN WWPN/WWNN change
Message-ID: <46cd475b0902050956t13733dbdle310f7c180556073@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I have taken over 4 "Solaris 9 9/05 SPARC" boxes that connect to our Netapp
SAN via Fiber Channel. All of the boxes use Sun's built-in driver (ssd), no
emulex drivers are installed. The boxes also use Veritas VxVM 4.1 for SAN
disks and vxdmp for their multipathing.

I will be having to make some config changes on the Netapp SAN that will
change the Netapps WWNN's and WWPN's. I am not sure how Solaris 9 will
handle this. Will a reconfiguration reboot be enough for Solaris to detect
the new WWPN's and veritas to be able to find the disks again?

Currently when I create a new lun on the filers and map it to a Solaris box
it shows up automagically and I just have to initialize the drive with
veritas, etc... I've been trying to find some good docs on how Solaris will
deal with this WWPN/WWNN change and all the docs assume that you are using
the (sd) driver, which from what I've gathered requires you to edit the sd
file everytime you assign a new lun, which I don't have to do at all.

If anyone has any links to docs or could explain to me the process that will
need to happen on the Solaris hosts for this type of reconfiguration to
successfully take place it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

not being received. Before my buddy made the network changes I had previously
loaded the system via the net with no problems. Is there something special
about booting in a b
taggedb
 (trunked) network?

Hi at all!, especial thanks to: Alex Galea, David Lowenstein, Vikas Sharma,
Chris Ruhnke, Paul Goins, Jeff Marble, Muhammad Imran, Zhigulin Vladimir,
and all  Adminis that response me,

the options are:
* to remove rsc and turn on the server.
* to do a diagnostic mode.
* I used both opctions to  get access to eeprompt.

Subject: Resource Capping in Sol10 10/08
Message-ID: <d82b2fa90902051545q5fcb8debn4f8b2843913c54af@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Gurus,
I've a question regarding resource capping.
I have global zone setup with Solaris 10 10/08 and planning to do resource
apping in local zones.

1) CPU
I went through docs.sun.com to understand CPU resouerce capping -
dedicated-cpu and capped-cpu.
I am not sure which one is suitable or more efficient.
Also, if using capped-cpu with ncpus=1 or 1.25 does that mean its using cpu
thread or a physical cpu?
Do we need to use rctl cpu-shares and FSS as well?

If using dedicated-cpu with ncpu=1-3 (range) does that too mean physical CPU
or cpu thread? and when we use importance which gets more preference? lower
number or higher one?

2) Memory
What is locked memory parameter?

If anyone has done CPU an MEM resource capping please share the expericence.
I would also love to have a sequence of commands in each of the above case
if possible.

Will summarize.

Thanks and Regards

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Subject: lx zone daemon process.max-file-size is 4GB
Message-ID: <d9e270fb0902051556i26bae858tf1364a423548087d@mail.gmail.com>

Hell,

I'm running into a problem running a database system inside of a
Solaris 10u6 lx linux branded zone where by daemon processes are
imposed a max-file-size limit of 4.00 GB.  I need the cache processes
to inherit the 8.00EB limit of most other processes in the zone.

Consider "otto", the global zone of "dolph", the non-global lx zone.

When the zone is running and I login with sudo zlogin wsrczone I have
a shell without a 4GB limit:

[root at otto ~]# zlogin wsrczone
[Connected to zone 'wsrczone' pts/5]
[root at dolph root]# echo $$
13582

[root at otto ~]# prctl -n process.max-file-size 13582
process: 13582: -bash
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT

        system          8.00EB    max   deny                                 -

When I start my database, however, the process has a 4GB limit:

[root at otto ~]# ps -ef -o pid,ppid,zone,projid,args | grep cache | sort -n
12520     1 wsrczone     0 cache -s . -c c -C

Looking at all running processes, only sendmail processes in the lx
zone appear to have this 4GB limit.  No other processes are limited to
4.00 GB, they all have the 8.00EB limit...

Subject: Non-SUN memory on M5000
Message-ID: <dfa465890902060331r28745f44k66213bc9647b4c75@mail.gmail.com>

We're getting ready to add another 128GB of memory to a few of our M5000's
but
are bewildered by the price difference by buying the memory direct from Sun
vs. other memory distributors.  Basically we can buy the Sun Memory Board
and
the 8x4GB DIMMS for just over $5,000.00 or the Sun Kit for $36,000.00?  Just
not sure if anyone has done this or has an insight possibly?  These servers
are not under contract with Sun so I'm not concerned about warranty issues
etc...

Sun Memory Kit SELX2C1Z - $36,000.00
32GB (8x4GB) Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000
(3 year warranty)

Purchasing through Memory Distributor:
Sun SPARC Enterprise Memory Board, RoHS:YL (p/n 541-0545)  = $3,998.98
32GB (8x4GB) Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 Server memory (p/n MT-SELX2C1Z) =
Price: $1,199.84
(Lifetime Warranty on Memory)

My question is did of the veterans on the listgroup have any experiencing of
using non-SUN memory on Sparc servers ?? Your advise is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Message-ID: <b6131fdc0902060837o4ee94304pf00ada3dbd5a56f4@mail.gmail.com>

Thanks to all who replied.  The consensus was that it seemed likely
that someone or something had written excessively to /tmp, and eaten
up all the swap space.  However, something else fishy is going on, as
the machine was entirely unresponsive and I couldn't get on to add
swap at the time.

I will have a look at the core dump, and set up some monitoring of the
system to try to catch it again.  Also will modify vfstab to set a
limit to the amount of swap space /tmp can use.

Thanks again.

Message-ID: <22A61FBF576E424B9B79672258105F2F02160797@ETA-CL01-EVS.eta.dir.labor.gov>

Hello All



Thanks in advance for your assistance.  I've look through tons and tons
of sites and I have to be overlooking something.  My users will
authenticate via SSH to the LDAP server. New to LDAP setup and I'm
running into issues  attempting to SSH to a Solaris 10 client that
authenticates to my Solaris 10 LDAP Server.    I apologize for the long
output.  Just wanted to provide ALL details that I believe may be
applicable.



I currently have two instances of LDAP (OpenLDAP version from
sunfreeware and iPlanet Directory Services from Sol 10/08 DVD).  Both
are returning the same issue.  The client machine was configured with
Sun's Native ldapclient tool.  When I attempt to SSH to a client machine
(ldapclient.domain) which points to my main LDAP Server, I receive the
following output and  I get the same results if I SSH from a system with
SSH (Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f):

The consensus was to comment that part of the httpd.conf file.  Well, unfortunately that didn't work.

Turns out that this module, and a number of others, are gone from the recent apache servers.  They've been renamed.  I found this by doing some digging through the sendmail.org site:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/new_features_2_2.html#module

So I just have to do some editing of my current httpd.conf file to get all my customizations.  Sigh.

Subject: Summary: Server could email to external addresses but could not
	act  as mail router
Message-ID: <60f08e700902070315w39707952g7eeaa0622ded5281@mail.gmail.com>

I've found out the reason :

In the Solaris 9 server, it could route mails because /etc/resolv.conf
is there (ie it has DNS function and the Windows domain PC hostname
could be resolved) while resolv.conf is missing in the Solaris 10 box.


Donald Kinney's reply is worth mentioning as it may apply to other
people's case :

You should take a look at srv10's sendmail.cf file.  Should be under
/etc/mail
check to see if you are using acess entries.  From the error messages on
srv10, it looks like
you might be.  Edit the access file to add in the subnets of systems you
want to allow
relaying for.  For example
10.51.6     RELAY
Would allow any host system with an IP between 10.51.6.1 and 10.51.6.254 to
relay through
the srv10 sendmail system.
Once you've added in the required entries, rebuild the access_db files, and
you should be good.


Thanks

Subject: v240 and fibre
Message-ID: <OFB86A0D81.7615BB23-ON88257557.0063654B-88257557.006427AE@reviewjournal.com>

Hi managers.

We have a v240 running solaris 9 12/03. We've recently added a generic 
fibre array and configured it to run a few luns under SVM.  It's been in 
production for a couple of weeks.
All was good until we rebooted itthis morning.  At that point the box 
kernel panics.

I've read various messages about
WARNING: add_spec: No major number for XXXXX
but nothing seems to relate to our particular panic when XXXXX=scsi.

Here's the output from the boot and panic.

Hello:
I make change on file /lib/svc/method/xntp, add "-B" to $ARGS. According to ntpdate man page, the -B option would force the time to be slewed using the adjtime system call.
I disabled ntp, change system time ahead of 3 minutes. Enable ntpd service. nptdate -b -u shows the value of offset is gradually closing. It is what i am looking for. I hope it is the correct method to do. Any recommendation is welcomed.

Thanks to:

=============================================================================

Tom's notes:


accessing rootpool via single user network boot

You may have need to access a zfs pool by booting into single user off the
network. you can do the standard 'zfs import' to just look to see what pools
are available for import. One problem is that the / file system is read-only
when you boot off the net. So, you can do something like this:

mkdir /tmp/z

zfs import -R /tmp/z rootpool

Not all of the zfs file systems may mount. I had the problem where it mounted
/a1 and /private (zfs file systems), but failed to mount

rootpool/ROOT/solaris10_6 (/), which is what I really wanted. I had to unmount
the zfs file systems that were mounted, empty out /tmp/z (of the mount points
it created), then specifically mount the file systems I wanted.

zfs unmount /tmp/z/private

zfs unmount /tmp/z/a1

rmdir /tmp/z/a1 /tmp/z/private

zfs mount rootpool/ROOT/solaris10_6

zfs mount rootpool/ROOT/solaris10_6/var

(Yes, it did help, thanks.)

=============================================================================
======

And a friend sent this:


#zpool import -f rpool (or your pool name)

#zfs get mountpoint

in my case this shows:

# zfs get mountpoint

NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE

rpool mountpoint /rpool default

rpool/ROOT mountpoint /rpool/ROOT default

rpool/ROOT/s10u6zfs mountpoint / local

rpool/dump mountpoint - -

rpool/swap mountpoint -

then

#zfs set mountpoint=legacy rpool/ROOT/s10u6zfs

then

#mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/s10u6zfs /mnt

<do stuff>

#umount /mnt

#zpool export rpool

(Just another view of the same terrain, more or less...)

Antony Pavlenko provided a very clear and concise answer to my question (see
below) that gave me the information that I needed.

Answer:

 Hello.
> If you use ssd it means you have either Solaris 9 or Solaris 10.
> In both cases you don't need to reboot host at all.
> If you will change wwn's for all paths at one moment you must umount
> file systems and deport veritas DG.
> After this ou can change wwn's of storage. If you also have SAN you
> ought to change zone's at SAN switches. After this you can do luxadm -e
> forclip /path_to_controller for all controllers and cfgadm -o
> show_FCP_dev will show all your disks. If not than try
> cfgadm -c configure <your_controller>
> After this you can import veritas DG and mount FS back.
> That's all.

Subject: Solaris 10: cron service isn't running
Message-ID: <4a0b40e70902090948g2b1f0d5fm8d0e9cee99626e63@mail.gmail.com>

Hello guys,

On my Solaris 10 server, the crontab isn`t working.

As I can see on the logs of the scripts that cron executes, it stopped
0:00 of 08/02 ( from 07 to 08/02 ).

Everything is correct whith the system time, which shows the correct local time.

There is no errors on the systems logs.

I've tried to restart the service using the svcadm command whithout success.

Any suggestion of what I can do ?

Thanks and sorry my english,

J. Paulo

Subject: LDAP Authentication via SSH

Hello All



Thanks in advance for your assistance.  I've look through tons and tons
of sites and I have to be overlooking something.  My users will
authenticate via SSH to the LDAP server. New to LDAP setup and I'm
running into issues  attempting to SSH to a Solaris 10 client that
authenticates to my Solaris 10 LDAP Server.    I apologize for the long
output.  Just wanted to provide ALL details that I believe may be
applicable.



I currently have two instances of LDAP (OpenLDAP version from
sunfreeware and iPlanet Directory Services from Sol 10/08 DVD).  Both
are returning the same issue.  The client machine was configured with
Sun's Native ldapclient tool.  When I attempt to SSH to a client machine
(ldapclient.domain) which points to my main LDAP Server, I receive the
following output and  I get the same results if I SSH from a system with
SSH (Sun_SSH_1.1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f):

NOTE:	This message is posted periodically to sunmanagers on behalf of all

Dear prospective sunmanagers poster,

Before posting, please stop for a minute and consider whether or not your
posting is suitable for Sunmanagers.  The list is not intended for just any
possible question related to managing Sun equipment or software.  The only
appropriate questions for Sun Managers are time-critical questions about Sun
system management problems that are not answered in the manuals or system
documentation, or in the Sunmanager's FAQ.

In particular, the following kinds of postings are not appropriate:

	- Subscribe and unsubscribe messages.  Point your web browser to
	  http://www.sunmanagers.org instead.
	- Test messages of any sort.
	- Discussions about anything, including discussions about the list
	  itself, or followups to any posting, with the exception of a single
	  summary to one's own question summarizing the email responses.  Use
	  instead one of the Sun newsgroups, eg.  comp.sys.sun.admin,
	  comp.sys.sun.hardware or comp.unix.solaris.
	- Replies to any SunManagers posting, even if the reply is a
	  separate question.  Please send a separate message instead.
	- Postings not related to Sun equipment or software.  Use the 
	  appropriate newsgroup or mailing list instead.  For example,
	  if your question concerns "sendmail", please consult the
	  comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup or the www.sendmail.org website.
	- General UNIX or network questions.  Use the appropriate newsgroup,
	  eg. comp.unix.questions instead.
	- Postings that are not time-critical.  Use one of the Sun newsgroups,
	  eg. comp.sys.sun.admin, comp.sys.sun.hardware or comp.unix.solaris.
	- Questions answered in the FAQ.  Read the FAQ instead.  If you're
	  not sure if the question is in the FAQ, please check before asking. 
	  You can find the FAQ at:
		ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/faq.html
		ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/faq
	- Questions that are answered in the manuals, http://docs.sun.com or 
	  system documentation.  Read the manuals instead.  If you're not sure 
	  if the question is answered in the manuals, please check first!
	- Job postings, requests for jobs, sales pitches, etc.  Use the
	  appropriate newsgroup instead.
	- Please, no postings in HTML, rich-text-format, Microsoft Word,
	  Word Perfect, or any format that some people on the list would not 
	  easily be able to read.  Also, please post in English only; most
	  of our readers are not able to read other languages.
	- Please do not BCC (blind carbon copy) the list.  Many of our
	  list members depend on the list address appearing on incoming
	  mail messages, so that they can automatically distinguish list
	  traffic from other traffic.  

Please note that we are not saying these postings are necessarily "bad" or
"stupid".  They are not.  They are merely inappropriate for this list.  There
are many other lists and newsgroups for which the question may be completely
appropriate, and we encourage you to submit the posting there.

Note also that your question may have been already answered in the past.
Please spend a minute or two checking one of the Sunmanager's archives, 
for example, at http://www.sunmanagers.org, or one of the archive sites
mentioned in the FAQ.

Here's an example of an appropriate question:

	I have a SPARCserver 99 running Solaris 9.8.7 with the fizbozz patch
	and the jumbo kernel patch version 158.  After I installed
	Futzbarworks version 3.2, the machine locks up every couple of
	hours.  When it locks up, the following message appears on the
	console:  
		zz0: out of futzbufs.  Barworks table is full.  
	I need to get this machine working as soon as possible.  Please
	help!  Send email and I will summarize to the list.

To submit a question, email it to sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org.  When you do
this, please indicate all relevant information, including machine type, OS
version and patches.  Collect email replies, and then summarize them to the
list.  If your question was posted with a subject of "foobar", for example,
then please post your summary with a subject of "SUMMARY: foobar".

Why are we asking that only certain types of postings be submitted to the
list?  Very simply, the reason is this:  we want the list to have a very
short turnaround time, and the only reasonable way to do this is to keep it
unmoderated.  But this means that every message sent to the list ends up in
the mailboxes of all the list members.  To keep all the members of the list
from being deluged by inappropriate messages, we need everyone's co-operation
in ensuring that only appropriate messages are sent to the list.

Please remember, Sunmanagers is a public forum: we have thousands of
subscribers, all posts are archived on numerous archive sites, and these are
searchable via various web engines.  A great number of people will read your
message.  Keep in mind that the person reading your message may be your boss,
your future boss, your customer, your seminar instructor, your colleague, or
someone else that you work with today or may find yourself working with
tomorrow.  We do not want you to embarrass yourself by sending an
inappropriate or poorly thought-out posting.

John

Subject: DISPLAY issue
Message-ID: <1234288818.6497.4.camel@zathura.cshl.edu>

Hi all-

Strange thing happening that I can't figure out.  Running 5.10 on
Ultra-45 patched to the latest.

Whether using 'ssh -X' or 'xterm -display hostname:0' I can't get a
window from a remote machine to display on my local desktop.  Removed
~/.ICEauthority, .TTauthority, and ~/.Xauthority.  Looged out, logged in
again and it's not working.  Removed files again and rebooted local
workstation, but it's still not working.  NEED to display remote process
window on my workstation.

I think it's something with the local Xserver because it's not tied to
ssh and I can get the remote X clients to display on a [very
inconvenient] alternate workstation.

TIA,
-Sal

Message-ID: <1234302803.1345.14.camel@zathura.cshl.edu>

Thanks to Peter Kunst, Hong Duong, Sean Walmsley, Crist Clark, Matt
Clausen, Mr. D R Hughes, Francisco Roque , John Hallman, and Rodney
Rodgers for responding.  Almost all said to 'xhost +' or 'ssh -X', but
that wasn't the problem (as stated in my original post).  

And the Grammy goes to....    

Sean Walmsley pointed out that Xsun was starting with "-nolisten"
because of options in the service configuration.  He says:

    svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen = true
    svcadm refresh x11-server

I set "options/tcp_listen=true" but couldn't refresh x11-server (no such
service).  Instead, it worked fine once I logged out and then logged
back in.

Don't know what could have changed this in any recent patches.  Can't
remember the last time I *NEEDED* to export DISPLAY, but it used to work
just fine and then it stopped.

Hi All,

I am looking to give permission to samba shares from Unix servers to
windows users. Currently, the users log in via AD and are not created at
Unix end. The access mode of the Samba shares is not based on AD users and
rather based on the permission at the Unix end.

I googled in to find the right documentation to setup this configuration
but nothing sounded to work for me.

It would be of gr8 help if anyone can provide the process or point me to
the documentation.

Thank you

 Ajay Gupta

Hello!

After I installed UTF-8 I've got this language switcher attached to 
every window. Which is very annoying. How do I get rid of that. This is 
Solaris 10 with JDS.
No, switching to locale C oder anything else is not an option...

Message-ID: <8B6A9EC265011E4CB70F99C64426E8C20351B82980@rrc-dte-exmb2.dte.telcordia.com>

We recently obtained a Sun T5440 with four internal SAS 146GB disks.

The system will house a large number of zones, not certain at this point if
we'll be creating multiple LDOM's.
The only additional external storage will be NAS devices, no SAN.

My initial thought is to use the built-in hardware raid controller for the
boot drive mirror (disks 0 & 1) and use ZFS for a storage pool comprising
disks 2 & 3 as we prefer the flexibility ZFS provides.

That said, would there be any advantage to creating a second hardware raid
volume using disks 2 & 3 and then allocate space via ZFS, or bypass a second
hw raid mirror and just create a zfs mirror pool.

We're not yet prepared to us zfs as our boot device.

Thanks.

We don't usually think of Solaris & virus issues. However is there such a
thing as a virus scanner for Solaris 9 (SPARC).

If so any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all who replied (Dennis, Phillip).

Official answer from both Emulex and Qlogic is:

Only targets (Arrays/VTLs/Filers) follow the "same Node WWN on all public FC
ports", initiators (HBA cards) don't follow this convention/rule.

So having different Node WWNs on the physically same HBA is "ok".

Hi colleagues,

Let's assume I've got a single HBA card with 2 fibre ports on it (in
this case Emulex card). From what I've understood World Wide Port
Names on such a card should be different and World Wide Node Name
shold be the same according to the theoretical rules.

# luxadm -e dump_map /devices/pci at 15d,600000/SUNW,emlxs at 1/fp at 0,0:devctl
Pos Port_ID Hard_Addr Port WWN Node WWN Type
.....
3 1f0027 0 10000000c95d21eb 20000000c95d21eb 0x1f (Unknown Type,Host
Bus Adapter)

# luxadm -e dump_map /devices/pci at 15d,600000/SUNW,emlxs at 1,1/fp at 0,0:devctl
Pos Port_ID Hard_Addr Port WWN Node WWN Type
.....
3 b0055 0 10000000c95d21ec 20000000c95d21ec 0x1f (Unknown Type,Host Bus
Adapter)

Does anyone know why the WWN Node numbers are different on the
physically same card?
Is this a Solaris driver issue or the manufacturer has not followed
the theoretical standard of WWN Node being the same on each port of
the same physical card?

Silly question, but I can't seem to find the serial number on a sun 5120.
Sneep says "unknown"

Do you know where it is on the chassis? I can't pull it from the rack right
now to look on the top of it, but it doesn't seem to be on the back or
front.

Thanks to all who wrote.

It's on the left front bezel as per the manual (rtfm I suppose is the
lesson learned here)

here's tfm:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/SE_T5120/SE_T5120

What I have on my left front bezel looks more like a part number than a
serial number so it made me second guess whether it was really what I was
looking for.

One of our Windows admins tried to 'fix' what he thought was a perms problem
on one of our NetApp mixed qtrees. I've spent most of the day working on it
and it looks to be solved, apart from an error we get while using a
particular CAD application - Ideas from Siemens running on Solaris 10. We
can save files, etc, but we get an error whenever it runs a file that has
the SUID bit set. I did a truss -f on the script that starts the process and
i get the following output. I appreciate any help anyone can give;

Subject: SUMMARY: Solaris cannot see all drives on Areca RAID controller
In-Reply-To: <D954169D-956E-413D-890E-4D7F9C551049@Schoolloop.com>

The problem is two-fold -- the RAID controller firmware needs to be  
updated, and sd.conf needs to be configured properly.  Here are the  
instructions for the Areca ARC-1280 RAID controller to expose all  
drives to Solaris:

NOTE: This was done with Solaris 10 u6 (10/08) and the 2/2/09 patch  
cluster, though I'm not sure either are required as long as you have  
the arcmsr driver installed.


+ Upgrade arcmsr Solaris driver  to version 1.20.00.16, dated  
2008-07-31:

    ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Solaris/DRIVER/1.20.00.16-80731.zip

+ Upgrade RAID controller firmware to version 1.46, dated 2009-01-06:

    ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/BIOS_Firmware/ARC1280/146-90106.zip

    Instructions are available at ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/BIOS_Firmware/FirmwareUpdateProcess.pdf

+ Configure the RAID controller as JBOD in controller BIOS or via the  
HTTP proxy:

    System Config | JBOD/RAID Config: JBOD

    Note: this also works with each drive configured as pass-thru, but  
that takes more work and is left as an exercise for the reader.

+ Edit /kernel/drv/sd.conf and change it to read:

    # Areca controller Ch01 - Ch08
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=1;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=2;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=3;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=4;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=5;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=6;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=0 lun=7;

    # Areca controller Ch09 - Ch16
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=0;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=1;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=2;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=3;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=4;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=5;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=6;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=1 lun=7;

    # Areca controller Ch17 - Ch24
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=0;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=1;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=2;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=3;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=4;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=5;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=6;
    name="sd" class="scsi" target=2 lun=7;

+ Perform a reconfigure reboot in Solaris:

    reboot -- -rv

When Solaris reboots, all installed drives will be visible to the  
kernel.

Subject: Routing problem Solaris 10
Message-ID: <49993FF8.9060709@manrolandbenelux.nl>

Hello,


I have a router problem and can't find what it is, however I went 
through the doc but that is referencing to so many things that it's 
unclear to me.

What I got is as follows:

Sun T5120 with 4 nics
nic e1000g1, e1000g2 and e1000g3 are aggregated to: aggr1 with IP: 
192.9.200.1 netmask is 255.255.255.0.
nic e1000g0 got IP: 192.168.1.210 netmask is 255.255.255.0.

Network 192.9.200.x is for users whom have the T5120 as server.
Network 192.168.1.x is the connection to the internet via router with IP 
192.168.1.215.

On the Sun T5120 email as well as internet works fine.

What doesn't work is that the users within network 192.9.200.x can't get 
to IP 192.168.1.215 which is for the internet.

Is there a simple document that I can use that can help me out?

I have put some configuration files below for your convenience.

Message-ID: <60f08e700902160750x32623e9ctd2e944fd13eb1d12@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,


Saw this :

Sun has had a solution available for some time that can patch Solaris,
SuSE and Red Hat systems:
 http://www.sun.com/service/sunconnection/index.jsp
Has anyone used the above Sun's product?

Would like to know :

a) if it's free of charge or what's the initial cost (excluding the
hardware)
    and the annual subscription like?

b) Is this limited to Recommended / jumbo patches only or any little
    vulnerability that's just released will be addressed by this patch
    management product

c)suppose I have multiple versions of Solaris and several versions of Redhat
   Linux in our environment, can it patch them all?

d) I know Redhat Satellite requires annual subscription to Redhat, so
supposedly
   this Sun product needs subscription to Redhat as well?

e)appreciate any comparison between Redhat Satellite vs this Sun product


Thanks

   1. The Sun-Manager's Mailing list
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.1) How do I read, join, post to, or remove myself from the
   sunmanagers mailing list?

   Point your web browser to http://www.sunmanagers.org

   Persons without web access should send a mail message to
   "sunmanagers-request at sunmanagers.org" containing the single word
   "help".

   Messages can be posted to the list by mailing them to the address
   "sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org". Do not do this until you have read the
   charter/policy (question 1.2) and the "how to post" document at
   http://www.sunmanagers.org.

   The policy and the "how to post" document is sent to the entire list
   twice a month. It is also sent out to every new subscriber and is
   available at http://www.sunmanagers.org.

   The latest version of the FAQ (this file) is available at
   http://www.sunmanagers.org
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.2) What is the Sun-Manager's Charter? What are the rules?

   1: This list is NOT moderated! Every message that is sent to the list
   will be passed on to every member of the list.

   2: Requests to have addresses added or removed from the list should
   NOT be sent to the entire list. Instead, addresses should be added or
   removed via the web page at http://www.sunmanagers.org Similarly, test
   messages of any sort should not be sent to the list.

   3: This list is intended to be a quick-turnaround trouble shooting aid
   for those who administer and manage Sun systems. Its primary purpose
   is to provide the Sun manager with a quick source of information for
   system management problems that are of a time-critical nature.

   4: All responses are to be mailed back to the questioner and are NOT
   to be sent to the entire list. Any response to a list message sent to
   the list, rather than to the person asking the question, will be
   deleted without notice. The person who originally asked the question
   has the responsibility of summarizing the answers and sending the
   entire summary back to the list. When a summary is sent back to the
   list, the word "SUMMARY" should be the first word of the "Subject"
   line.

   5: Discussions on ANY topic are not allowed and will not be tolerated.
   If you want to discuss something, take it to the appropriate Sun
   newsgroup.

   6: If it is not specifically related to Sun system management, then it
   does NOT belong on this list. Requests for vendor recommendations are
   tolerated, provided that the hardware in question is something that
   system managers normally purchase.

   7: Commercial Advertising of any sort on the list is strictly
   prohibited.

   8: Postings about employment, either employment sought or offered, are
   not permitted on this list. Please use a more appropriate forum, e.g.
   one of the newsgroups in the misc.jobs USENET hierarchy.

   9: Requests for software (free or otherwise) should be limited to
   software that is directly related to Sun SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ONLY.

   10: Read the appropriate manuals BEFORE posting, including the "Read
   This First" documents. Oftentimes the manuals contain answers for
   common problems.

   11: When including a traceback from a system panic, make sure that it
   is a symbolic traceback. Numeric tracebacks (the ones included as part
   of the panic message) are not helpful; don't bother sending them to
   the list.

   12: A posting to sunmanagers is not a general invitation to email the
   poster -- if you wish to send email to a sunmanagers poster, the email
   you send should be related to the posting, else it will be unsolicited
   email and may be treated like any other unsolicited email (e.g. spam).
   Sunmanagers is not to be used to collect email addresses of people who
   manage Sun systems. Those who do this not only violate the list's
   policy, but risk seriously offending the very people they are
   attempting to reach.

   13: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...Think before you send a message! Ask
   yourself "is this really appropriate?" There are enough other
   newsgroups and mailing lists around to cover the marginal topics.
   Perhaps there is another forum that is more appropriate? Check the
   list of Sun specific newsgroups included in the FAQ. Perhaps your
   message would be more appropriate there? Remember that Sunmanagers is
   very public: we have thousands of subscribers, all postings are
   archived for posterity on various archive sites, and these sites are
   in turn searchable via various web engines. Submitting a posting is
   irreversible -- once it goes out, it cannot be taken back!

   Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in severe
   chastisement by the list participants. Not only will you succeed in
   looking like a careless fool, and in making Sun Systems Managers all
   over the world annoyed at your incompetence, you may end up damaging
   your professional reputation.
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.3) Are there any public archives for the sunmanagers list?

   Sunmanagers' official archive is accessible at
   http://www.sunmanagers.org All postings are automatically archived. It
   is our policy not to accommodate requests to modify the archives, so
   if you are uncomfortable with your submissions in their entirety being
   public, do not submit them.

   Also, various members also keep their own archives on their own
   initiative. Some of these are public. Here are some we know about:

   http://aa11.cjb.net/sun_managers/index.htm

   Hank Leininger <hlein at progressive-comp dot com> maintains a
   searchable archive site of messages (both questions and summaries) in
   Florida. It can be accessed at:
   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=sun-managers

   Dataman Benelux in the Netherlands hosts a "fuzzy" full-text index of
   the Sun Managers mailing list at:
   http://www.dataman.nl/cgi-bin/sunmanagers

   Manfred Liebchen <liebchen at rrz dot Uni-Koeln dot DE> maintains an
   archive site in Germany. It can be accessed at:
   http://www.uni-koeln.de/RRZK/Abt-Systeme/sun/infos/SUN-MANAGERS/sunman
   .html

   Older summaries (up to mid-1999) are available at
   http://www.latech.edu/sunman.html
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.4) What should I keep in mind when posting to sunmanagers?

     * VERY IMPORTANT! Before you post, read the sunmanager's list
       policy, which is available at http://www.sunmanagers.org
     * Sun Managers is a huge unmoderated mailing list. Every message you
       send will be passed on to every member of the list. This means you
       have access to a much larger audience when you need help, but it
       also means you can embarrass yourself in front of a huge number of
       people, most of them professionals in your field, including
       colleagues, peers, and possible future employers. Further, your
       posting will be archived in various places, some public, some
       private -- we have no way of knowing all the archive locations.
       Some of these archives, including the official one at
       http://www.sunmanagers.org, are web-searchable. It is our policy
       not to accommodate requests to remove or modify postings as
       archived on http://www.sunmanagers.org. Once you submit your
       message, it will be irretrievably accessible to a large number of
       people. There is no "taking it back".
     * Sun Managers is completely voluntary. Nobody is required to help
       you. We are all cooperating by sharing our knowledge. Accept with
       grace whatever responses you get, and don't hound people if they
       are helpful or they won't be the next time.
     * Sun Managers is not the list to use when you run out of other
       places to post. Job postings, PC questions, X questions all have
       their own lists and newsgroups. Use only the appropriate list or
       newsgroup for such things, not Sun Managers. Inappropriate
       postings will only make people annoyed at you.
     * The more information you give about a problem, the easier it is
       for others to help you. This doesn't mean you should uuencode the
       kernel and post it, but you should include your OS version, your
       hardware, and all relevant symptoms of your problem. Unless the
       request is of a general nature, the output of "uname -a" is almost
       certainly helpful.
     * When making a summary, please summarize as much as possible all
       the answers you received, even the ones you didn't decide to
       follow: if you receive several different suggestions, and decided
       on one, remember that somebody else reading the summary may not
       find the suggestion you followed to be the best one in his or her
       situation, and may benefit from one of the suggestions you didn't
       choose.
     * Be generous. If you have the information requested (especially if
       it is obscure) then please respond. You may be the person
       requesting help next time.
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.5) What other forums are there for Suns?

   Other forums that relate to Suns: USENET Newsgroups (accessible via
   "rn", "readnews", "nn", netscape, etc.): There is an entire USENET

     _________________________________________________________________

   1.6) Where are the answers to questions about old Suns and old
   versions of Solaris?

   Those questions and answers used to be in this FAQ, but since they're
   no longer frequently asked, they've been moved elsewhere.

   The FAQ as of late 2005 contained information about pre-UltraSPARC
   suns and versions of Solaris before Solaris 8, and is available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/faq-2005.

   The FAQ as of late 2000 contained information about pre-SPARC suns,
   early SPARCstations, and SunOS 4.x, and is available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/faq-2000.
     _________________________________________________________________

   1.7) What fields can I use to filter Sun Managers email?

   The following headers will exist in any mail to the list:

   2. Getting Help Over the Net
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.1) How do I find out what patches are available from Sun?

   If you have a software service agreement with Sun, you can use Sun's
   "SunSolve ONLINE" service to obtain patches. Check your service
   agreement for details.

   Many anonymous ftp sites have partial collections of patches.

   WARNING: if you ftp patches from an ftp site, you are trusting
   whomever put them there. To be absolutely safe, get your patches from
   a trusted source.

   Rik Harris <rik.harris at vifp dot monash dot edu dot au> maintains a
   WAIS archive (sun-fixes.src) of most available patch READMEs.

   The Sun User Group (SUG) CD ROM also has a collection of Sun patches.
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.2) * How do I get help migrating to Solaris?

   Start by reading the Solaris FAQ, maintained and posted periodically
   to comp.unix.solaris by Casper Dik <Casper dot Dik at Holland dot Sun
   dot COM>. It can be obtained at
   http://www.science.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2 Then go to the Solaris
   Security FAQ, maintained by John Pancharian and hosted by IT World at
   http://www.itworld.com/Comp/2377/security-faq/

   Sun has a programme for developers/companies to migrate to Solaris.
   It's documented at http://advantage.sun.com/partners/10moves/.
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.3) How do I access Sun's documentation over the net?

   Sun has a web site devoted to documentation, at http://docs.sun.com
     _________________________________________________________________

   2.4) To which web sites can I go for help?

   This is not a complete list, but:

   First, see the answer to question 2.2.

   Sun's documentation is available at http://docs.sun.com You can search
   the Sun newsgroups at http://www.dejanews.com Sun-Managers Archives
   are described in the answer to question 1.3 above.

   Some sites suggested by Jeffrey Meltzer <meltzer at villagenet dot
   com> are:
     * SolarisGuide - http://www.solarisguide.com
     * SunHelp - http://www.sunhelp.org
     * SolarisCentral - http://www.solariscentral.org
     * SunGuru - http://www.sunguru.com
     * SunFreeware - http://www.sunfreeware.com

   TechTarget has a search engine at
   http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com that also covers Solaris.

   Eric De Mund <ead at ixian dot com> suggests the BigAdmin site run by
   Sun, at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin

   Alan Pae <alanpae at ilkda dot com> suggests Sun Country, at
   http://www.ilkda.com
     _________________________________________________________________

   3. Network Directory and Files Services
     _________________________________________________________________

   3.1) How do I use DNS for hostname resolution?

   In Solaris 2.x, this is easy: simply edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and put
   "dns" before (or instead of) nis or nisplus on the line that begins
   with "hosts:". For example, to look up hostnames first in the host
   file and then in the DNS, use "hosts: files dns"
     _________________________________________________________________

   3.2) How do I change NIS+ credentials for the root master server?

   If an NIS+ system is functioning correctly and only the root password
   and root private keys for the system need to be changed, follow these
   steps:

   1) Login as root for the system and change the root password in the
   /etc/shadow file:
        {root}3% passwd
        passwd:  Changing password for root
        New password:
        Re-enter new password:
        {root}4%

   2) Change the system's private key in the cred table:
        {root}4% chkey -p
        Updating nisplus publickey database.
        Reencrypting key for 'unix.ramayan at bharat.i n'.
        Please enter the Secure-RPC password for root:  <enter old passwd>
        Please enter the login password for root:       <enter new passwd>
        {root}5%

   3) If running replica server(s) then wait until the changes to the
   credential object table has been propagated to its replicas. This
   could be up to 2 minutes.

   4) Change the system's /etc/.rootkey:
        {root}5% keylogin -r
        Password:                               <enter new passwd>
        Wrote secret key into /etc/.rootkey
        {root}6%

   The procedure above will work for any system -- root server, root
   replica, non-root servers, and all clients. The steps above change
   only the system's root password and private keys, not the public keys
   for the system.

   Thanks to Ronald W. Henderson <rwh at atmos dot albany dot edu>.

   However, if you want to change all the root credentials, including the
   public key, follow these steps:

   Use the passwd command on the root master server to change the root
   password. But DO NOT follow this with a chkey -p to update the
   credentials for the root master server, because this will disable the
   entire NIS+ domain. The only way to recover from this is to rebuild
   the domain from scratch!

   It is possible to change the credentials of the root master server,
   but it is not easy. The procedure follows:

   To change the keys for the root master server do as follows:
  1. use these commands in this order:

         nisupdkeys -CH master.server.name. groups_dir.domain.name.
         nisupdkeys -CH master.server.name. org_dir.domain.name.
         nisupdkeys -CH master.server.name. domain.name.

         (This CLEARS the public key for the HOST "master.server.name" in this
  directory.)

  2. Kill rpc.nisd and restart it at security level O then run this command:

         nistbladm -R cname=master.server.name. cred.org_dir.domain.name.
         nisaddcred des

         <This deletes the old credential and creates a new one.>

  3. Shutdown and restart any replicas of org_dir.domain.name. at run level O

         nisping org_dir.domain.name.

  <This propogates the new key pair to the replicas.>

         nisdupdkeys domain.name.
         nisupddkeys org_dir.domain.name.
         nisupdkeys groups_dir.domain.name.

         <This puts the new credential in the effected directory objects.>

  4. Kill and restart all rpc.nisd servers at level O to security level 2.

   Note that changing a server's key affects all directory objects
   containing the key.

   Thanks to Rogerio Rocha <rogerio at bvl dot pt> and Sun INFODOC ID
   2213 for this information.
     _________________________________________________________________

   3.3) When I compile something, errors occur saying _dlopen and other
   _dl routines can't be found. Why?

   You are probably trying to compile something statically. You must
   either include stub routines for the _dl routines, or you must link
   the C library (or -ldl) dynamically. The source code below provides
   do-nothing stubs for the routines in question.

        /* libdl stubs -- John DiMarco <jdd at cs.toronto.edu> */
        char *dgettext(domainname, msgid)
        char *domainname;
        char *msgid;
        { return(msgid); }

        void *dlopen(pathname, mode)
        char *pathname;
        int mode;
        { return((void *)NULL); }

        void *dlsym(handle, name)
        void *handle;
        char *name;
        { return((void *)NULL); }

        char *dlerror()
        { return(NULL); }

        int dlclose(handle)
        void *handle;
        { return(0); }
     _________________________________________________________________

   4. Window Systems
     _________________________________________________________________

   4.1) + What Window system GUIs are supported by Sun?

   Sun's default window system for Solaris is CDE; Gnome is also
   supported. Sun's Java Desktop System and the Sunray software for Linux
   uses Gnome.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5. Disks, Tapes and SCSI
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.1) * What sector/head/cylinders parameters should be used for a hard
   disk?

   The format program can almost always figure this out on its own by
   querying the drive, but if you wish, you can specify your own in
   /etc/format.dat.

   A format.dat file containing entries submitted by various people is
   available for anonymous ftp at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/sunmanagers/format.dat It is
   currently maintained by John DiMarco (jdd at cs.toronto.edu). New entries
   are welcome; mail them to sunmanagers-format at sunmanagers.org

   For SCSI disks on modern suns, a format.dat entry can be
   auto-generated using John DiMarco's scsiinfo program, available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/scsiinfo/. It will query the disk
   directly, and has an option to generate an appropriate format.dat
   entry.

   Finally, you can compute your own entry. For SCSI disks, any
   combination of cylinders, heads, and sectors that does not add up to
   more than the rated formatted capacity of the drive will normally
   work. A grossly different geometry may result in some slight
   performance degradation, but it should still work. The SCSI protocol
   hides most of the drive details from the host, and hence the host need
   not know much about the drive to format or use it.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.2) * Can I replace an internal drive in a Sun with a higher capacity
   model?

   Yes, usually. If you purchase it from someone other than Sun, it is
   wisest to make sure that it is either a model of drive that is
   supported by Sun for that machine, or that it at least does not
   dissipate more heat than the hottest of the drives supported by Sun.
   The Sun Systems Handbook lists various drives supported on various
   models; you can query it on the web for modern Suns at
   http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Systems. For systems which are
   not maximally configured (e.g. there are empty internal drive bays),
   it might be safe to exceed this limit a bit, but caveat emptor.

   Disk drive heat dissipation/power figures are available on the drive's
   datasheet, available on the drive vendor's web site. The most relevant
   figure is the wattage indicated for "Read/Write" or "Seek".
   Unfortunately, different vendors report this in different ways; read
   the vendor's documentation to see what this figure indicates. This
   figure is sometimes indicated in amps at 5V and 12V; convert to watts
   by multiplying the voltage by the amperage in each case, and adding
   the two together.

   5.3) Is it okay to disconnect or connect SCSI devices while powered
   on?

   On older machines (without onboard SCSI controllers), it is never a
   good idea to do this. You risk blowing a fuse on the CPU board, or
   part of the SCSI hardware. On newer machines (sparcstations and
   later), many people have done this regularly without problems. Halt
   the machine (sync;L1-A), remove or add the device, then continue.
   However, it is possible to blow the SCSI termination power fuse on the
   motherboard. If your machine hangs immediately on powerup unless the
   SCSI bus is externally terminated, this fuse may need to be replaced.
   Caveat Emptor.

   5.4) How do I configure my sun to use Exabyte 4mm DAT tape drives?

   Add the following to /kernel/drv/st.conf:
    tape-config-list =
      "EXABYTE EXB-4200", "Exabyte 4mm EXB-4200", "EXBT-4200",
      "EXABYTE EXB-4200c", "Exabyte 4mm EXB-4200c", "EXBT-4200c"

    EXBT-4200 = 1,0x34,1024,0x0029,4,0x63,0,0,0,3;
    EXBT-4200c = 1,0x34,1024,0x0029,4,0x63,0,0x13,0,3;

   Exabyte also recommends that their 4mm tape drives have firmware
   revision levels of at least the following when used on suns:
     * EXB-4200 No restriction, but revision 148 or higher is recommended
     * EXB-4200c Level 149 minimum (mode select for compression)

   5.5) Why is tagged queueing a problem on my third-party disk?

   Tagged Command Queueing (TCQ) is an optional part of the SCSI-2
   specification. It permits a drive to accept multiple I/O requests for
   execution later. These requests are "tagged" by a reusable id so that
   the drive and the OS can keep track of them. The drive can reorder
   these requests to optimize seeks. For more details, see the SCSI-2
   specifications. A draft version is available at
   ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/scsi-doc/scsi2.10b.gz

   SunOS 4.x and earlier never uses tagged queueing. However, Solaris 2.x
   will make use of tagged queuing if the drive claims to support it.
   Unfortunately, some drive manufacturers have found it hard to design
   their drives to do tagged queueing properly, and this particular area
   has been a common source of bugs in drive firmware.

   If it is not possible to turn off tagged queueing in the drive that is
   causing the problem, Solaris 2.x can be told not to use tagged
   queueing at all, by putting the following line in /etc/system:

   set scsi_options & ~0x80

   The "scsi_options" kernel variable contains a number of bit flags
   which are defined in /usr/include/sys/scsi/conf/autoconf.h. 0x80
   corresponds to tagged queueing.

   However, this turns off tagged queueing for the entire machine, not
   just the problematic drive. Because tagged queueing can provide a
   significant performance enhancement for busy drives, this may not
   always be desirable. In Solaris 2.4 and later, it is possible to
   disable tagged queueing and set or clear other scsi options on a
   per-controller or per-drive basis. The appropriate technique is
   described in the esp(7) and isp(7) man pages.
     _________________________________________________________________

   5.6) Why don't third-party CD-ROMS work on my sun?

   When Sun first decided to add CD-ROM support, there were already a
   great number of systems in the field, all of which contained boot
   proms that expected to boot from disks with 512 byte sectors. Sun had
   to decide between replacing a whole lot of boot proms or finding a way
   to make a CDROM act like a disk with 512 byte sectors in order to
   support it as a boot device. They chose the latter approach.

   Many third party CD-ROM drives use 1024 or 2048-byte sectors, which
   causes the SCSI driver to see a "data overrun". When the driver asks
   for N "blocks" (which it thinks are 512 bytes each ) it gets more data
   back than it expected.

   Some CD-ROM drives can be told to use 512 byte sectors by setting a
   jumper, cutting a trace, or using a software command (mode select).
   Details vary widely, but if you are seeing a data overrun on a third
   party CD-ROM, then it is most likely doing 1K or 2K transfers and will
   need some work to be a boot device for a Sun.

   Thanks to Kevin Sheehan <Kevin dot Sheehan at uniq dot com dot au>

   For more information about third-party CD-ROMS on Suns, consult the
   CD-ROM FAQ, maintained by Mike Frisch <mfrisch at saturn dot tlug dot
   org> and Martin Hargreaves <martin at datamodl dot demon dot co dot

   5.7) What size and density parameters should I use for ufsdump with a
   high-capacity tape drive?

   The only purpose of the ufsdump size and density parameters is to let
   dump calculate the capacity of each tape and then decide for itself
   when it needs a new tape. If the filesystem you are dumping is larger
   than the tape, you will need to use more than one tape. But ufsdump
   can detect the end of media for all modern tape drives, and will
   automatically prompt for new tapes when needed, so as long as the size
   and density parameters indicate a tape as long as or longer than the
   one you're using, ufsdump will behave properly.

   5.8) My floppy/cdrom device says "device busy". What do I do?

   The Volume Manager (vold) is probably holding the device open. You can
   access a floppy through the volume manager by typing "volcheck" and
   looking in /floppy/*. CD-ROMs don't require volcheck; just insert one
   and the volume manager should automatically notice, and mount it under
   /cdrom/*. Unmount by typing "eject floppy" or "eject cdrom",
   respectively. The Volume Manager can be configured by editing
   /etc/vold.conf.

   If you need to access a floppy or CD-ROM special device, however, you
   may need to turn off the volume manager. As root, type
   "/etc/init.d/volmgt stop". To turn it back on, type
   "/etc/init.d/volmgt start".

   5.10) Where is my disk space? The "du" and "df" commands disagree.

   If a process is holding open a file, and that file is removed, the
   space belonging to the file is not freed until the process either
   exits or closes the file. This space is counted by "df" but not by
   "du". This often happens in /var/log or /var/adm when a long-running
   process (e.g. syslog) is holding open a file. In the case of syslog,
   send it a HUP (e.g. kill -HUP <syslog's process ID>).

   You can use LSOF
   (ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/sysutils/lsof) to find
   which processes are holding open a particular file. Thanks to Stefan
   Voss <s dot voss at terradata.de> and Michael R. Zika <zika at oconto
   dot tamu dot edu>

   Under Solaris 2.6 and later, files which have been unlinked can still
   be accessed through the /proc interface. If a process is holding open
   such a file for writing, but it's inconvenient or impractical to kill
   the process or get it to close the file, you can free up the disk
   space by truncating (not removing) the file from under /proc; e.g.,

        # cd /proc/1234/fd
        # ls -l
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 0
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 1
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 2
        --w-------   1 root    314159265 Jan  1 11:37 3
        # : > 3
        # ls -l
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 0
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 1
        c---------   1 root      24,  12 Jan  1 11:33 2
        --w-------   1 root            0 Jan  1 11:38 3

   Thanks to Dan Astoorian <djast at cs dot toronto dot edu>

   Brian Poole <raj at cerias dot purdue dot edu> writes:
           Another possible cause of df & du disagreeing is if the files are
           being 'hidden' under a mount.  I ran into this recently where I
           had a large number of files in /tmp (from adding patches in single
           user mode) that were on the root partition.  Thus when I was
           looking for them in multiuser mode, I couldn't find them because
           of the tmpfs overlay. I exported the root partition via NFS and
           upon mounting it found the hidden files and deleted them.

   6. Resource Management and Performance Tuning
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.1) How do I tell what caused my machine to crash?

   The crash messages will usually be displayed on the console, and are
   usually logged to /var/adm/messages via syslog as well after a warm
   reboot. In older versions of Solaris, the "dmesg" command may also
   show crash messages. If your system repeatedly crashes with similar
   looking errors, try searching through the patch list on the Sun patch
   database for a description that matches your machine.

   In versions of Solaris 2 up to and including Solaris 2.6, uncomment
   the "savecore" line in the file /etc/init.d/sysetup to enable crash
   dumps. As of Solaris 7 and later, crash dumps are enabled by default;
   see the manual page for dumpadm(1M) for information on how to
   customize system dump configuration.

   To report a crash dump, you need a symbolic traceback for it to be
   useful to the person looking at it. Type the following: cd
   /var/crash/`hostname` echo '$c' | adb -k unix.0 vmcore.0

   The "crash" utility can be useful for analyzing crash dumps for
   Solaris up to and including Solaris 8. "Crash" has been superseded by
   "mdb" (modular debugger) as of Solaris 8.

   Thanks to Dan Astoorian <djast at cs dot toronto dot edu>
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.2) What can I do if my machine slows to a crawl or just hangs?

   Try running "ps" to look for large numbers of the duplicate programs
   or processes with a huge size field. Some system daemons occasionally
   can get into a state where they fork repeatedly and eventually swamp
   the system. Killing off the child processes doesn't do any good, so
   you have to find the "master" process. It will usually have the lowest
   pid.

   Another useful approach is to run vmstat to pin down what resource(s)
   your machine is running out of. You can tell vmstat to give ongoing
   reports by specifying a report interval as its first argument.

   The programs "top" and "sps" are good for finding processes that are
   loading your system. "Top" will give you the processes that are
   consuming the most cpu time. "Sps" is a better version of "ps" that
   runs much faster and displays processes in an intuitive manner. Top is
   available at ftp://ftp.groupsys.com/pub/top/. Sps is available at
   ftp://ftp.csv.warwick.ac.uk/pub/solaris2/sps-sol2.tar.gz.

   Doug Hughes <Doug dot Hughes at Eng dot Auburn dot EDU> has written a
   small, quick PS workalike called "qps", available from his web page at
   http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/doug/second.html

   Sometimes you run out of memory and you won't be able to run enough
   commands to even find out what is wrong. You will get messages of the
   type "out of memory" or "no more processes". Note that "out of memory"
   refers to virtual memory, not physical memory. On a Solaris system,
   virtual memory is generally equal to the sum of the swap space and the
   amount of physical memory (less a roughly constant amount for the
   kernel) on the machine. The command "swap -s" will tell you how much
   virtual memory is available.

   You can sync the disks to minimize filesystem corruption if you have
   to crash the system:

   Use the L1-A sequence to crash the system. If you are on an older
   system, type "g0" and you will get the message "panic: ... syncing
   file systems". When you see the word "done", hit L1-A again and
   reboot. On systems with the "new" prom, type "n" to get into the new
   command mode and type "sync".
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.3) How do I find out how much physical memory a machine has?

   Use /usr/sbin/prtconf if the machine is running Solaris. If it's a
   sun4u running Solaris 8 or previous, /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag
   is very helpful. It's /usr/sbin/prtdiag in Solaris 9 and later.

   On high-end machines, /usr/sbin/cfgadm -al can also provide memory
   information.

   The banner message on reboot (or type "banner" in the monitor on
   machines with Openboot proms) will usually report the amount of
   physical memory.

   Alternatively, you can open up the case and count SIMMS and/or memory
   boards.

   A perl script "memconf" is also available that identifies the sizes
   and locations of SIMM/DIMM memory modules installed in a Sun system.
   It also works on several SPARC clones and with Sun Explorer data. It
   is maintained by Tom Schmidt <tschmidt at micron dot com>. Download
   memconf from http://www.4schmidts.com/unix.html
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.4) How do I find out what my machine's memory is being used for? How
   can I tell if I need more memory?

   To discover how much virtual memory (i.e. swap) is free, run "swap -s"
   or "vmstat". If you're using tmpfs for /tmp, "df /tmp" will also work.

   Discovering how physical memory is being used can be more difficult,
   however. Memory pages that are not being used by processes are used as
   a sort of extended cache, storing pages of memory-mapped files for
   possible later use. The kernel keeps only a small set of pages free
   for short-term use, and frees up more on demand. Hence the free memory
   reported by vmstat is not an accurate reflection, for example, of the
   amount of memory available for user processes.

   An easy way to determine whether or not your machine needs more memory
   is to run vmstat and examine the po (page out) column and the sr (scan
   rate) column. If these columns consistently show large numbers, this
   suggests that your machine does not have enough memory to support its
   current workload, and frequently needs to write pages belonging to
   active processes to disk in order to free up enough memory to run the
   current job.
     _________________________________________________________________

   6.5) Why do some files take up more disk space after being copied? Why
   are the sizes reported by ls -l and du different?

   Some files -- core files being one common example -- contain "holes",
   areas which were seeked over without being written. These files are
   called "sparse". When read back, these areas appear to contain zeros;
   however they do not occupy disk space. The "length" of such a file (as
   reported by "ls -l") will exceed its "size" (as reported by "ls -s"
   and reflected in the results of du or df).

   cp, cpio, and tar do not detect holes; they read and copy the zeros,
   and the resulting files will contain all-zero blocks (which occupy
   space) where the input files contained holes (which do not).

   dump will detect holes in the dumped files, and restore will reproduce
   them.

   Thanks to Perry Hutchison <perryh at pluto dot rain dot com>

   GNU tar has an "-S" option which preserves holes, and Joerg
   Schilling's "star" has "-sparse" and "-force_hole" options which can
   be used to preserve and re-insert holes, respectively. star is
   available for download at ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/star

   7. HTTP and Anonymous FTP
     _________________________________________________________________

   7.1) * How do I set up anonymous ftp on my machine?

   See the ftpd man page, and follow its instructions. You will also need
   to set up nsswitch.conf in etc. However, you should consider using a
   different ftpd, such as http://www.wu-ftpd.org.
   Solaris "pkg" versions of proftpd and wuftpd are available at:
   http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/
   ftp://ftp.adelaide.edu.au/pub/4.3/ftpd-sirius.tar.Z

   The stock Sun ftpd will log some information if you add the "-l" flag
   in /etc/inetd.conf:
       ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/in.ftpd in.ftpd -l

   Warning: it will log passwords of ordinary users.
   Also enable syslogd by adding:
       daemon.info      /var/adm/syslog

   to "/etc/syslog.conf".
     _________________________________________________________________

   7.2) + Where can I get a Web server for Solaris?

   The open-source Apache web server and related tools are available on
   the Solaris Software Companion CD, which is part of the media kit for
   the Solaris distribution. The contents of this CD are also available
   for free download at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware.
   Apache binaries can also be retrieved from the following sites and
   many others:
     * http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware
     * ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/
     * http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
     * http://sunfreeware.com

   The Sun Java System Web server is available for download from Sun at
   http://www.sun.com/software/products/web_srvr/home_web_srvr.xml; the
   Sun Java System Application Server is available for purchase from Sun
   at http://www.sun.com/software/products/appsrvr.

   8. Consoles, Keyboards and Key Remapping
     _________________________________________________________________

   8.1) How do I make the numeric keypad on a sun keyboard work with
   xterm?

   You need to patch the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm and
   $OPENWINHOME/lib/app-defaults/XTerm files as described in sun patch
   100713-01 or later.

   Thanks to Margarita Suarez <marg at manila dot cc dot columbia dot
   edu>
     _________________________________________________________________

   8.2) How do I swap the CAPS LOCK and CONTROL keys on a sun keyboard?

   There are two ways to do it, one with xmodmap (for X11 only), and the
   other using keytables.

   Margarita Suarez <marg at manila dot cc dot columbia dot edu> suggests
   editing $OPENWINHOME/etc/keytables/US5.kt. There are two places where
   keys 119 (CapsLock) and 76 (Control) should be swapped: the MODMAP
   section and the KEYSYMMAP section. The latter is most important,
   because that's where the "Pseudo-Lock" function (which controls the
   locking behaviour of the key) is defined.

   Doug Hughes <Doug dot Hughes at Eng dot Auburn dot EDU> suggests using
   xmodmap with the following:

        remove Lock = Caps_Lock
        remove Control = Control_L
        keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
        keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
        add Lock = Caps_Lock
        add Control = Control_L

   In X11, you can change your keyboard layout as you please using the
   xkeycaps application, which allows you to edit and remap your keyboard
   on the fly, as well as save configurations to be sourced by xmodmap.

   xkeycaps is available from http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/ and in the
   contrib section of your friendly X11 source archive.

   Thanks to Dan Pritts <danno at ans dot net> for the info on xkeycaps.
     _________________________________________________________________

   8.3) How do I use a Windows PC for a Sun serial console?

   Wire up a serial cable from the Sun's serial cable to one of the PC
   serial ports. PC serial ports are usually (but not always) DB9
   (9-pin), while Sun serial console ports are usually (but not always)
   25-pin (DB25). You generally need to connect them through a "null
   modem adapter". For more information on serial ports, see Sunhelp's
   UNIX serial port resources page, at
   http://www.sunhelp.org/unix-serial-port-resources

   The next problem is that the version of Hyperterminal which comes with
   some versions of Windows cannot generate a BREAK signal. You can
   obtain a new version of Hyperterminal from
   http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/index.html There are many free
   alternative terminal programs. Special mention should be made of
   TeraTerm: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html which
   has been updated with SSH support as Teraterm Pro, which is available
   from http://www.ayera.com/teraterm

   For newer suns which support ALOM, a serial or telnet connection to
   the ALOM is generally preferable. A pinout of the serial RJ-45 ALOM
   connector can be found in Sun's "Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager
   (ALOM) 1.6 Administration Guide".

   9. Sun models and OS Versions
     _________________________________________________________________

   9.1) * Which Sun models run which versions of SunOS?

   SunOS 5.x = Solaris 2.x
   Sun dropped the "2." when Solaris (2.)7 came out. i.e. Solaris 7 =
   "Solaris 2.7" = SunOS 5.7, Solaris 8 = "Solaris 2.8" = SunOS 5.8 and
   so on.
   In the following list, the specified OS is the earliest supported on
   the specified hardware. Some CPU modules may require later OS versions
   than listed.
     * Ultra 1 model 140, 170: Solaris 2.5
     * Ultra 1 model 140E, 170E, 200E: Solaris 2.5.1
     * Ultra 2: Solaris 2.5.1
     * Ultra 5,10,30,60,250,450: Solaris 2.5.1HW1297 or Solaris 2.6HW0398
     * Ultra Enterprise: Solaris 2.5.1
     * SunBlade 100, SunBlade 1000: Solaris 8HW1000
     * SunBlade 150: Solaris 8 5/03; Solaris 9 4/03
     * 3800, 4800, 4810, 6800: Solaris 8HW0401
     * B100s: Solaris 8 12/02, Solaris 9 4/03
     * V100: Solaris 8 2/02
     * V120: Solaris 8 10/01
     * V210, V240: Solaris 8 12/02, Solaris 9 4/04
     * V250: Solaris 8 7/03, Solaris 9 8/03
     * 280R: Solaris 8 2/02, Solaris 9 12/02
     * V440: Solaris 8 7/03, Solaris 9 12/03
     * V490,V890: Solaris 8 2/04, Solaris 9 4/04, Solaris 10 3/05
     * V880: Solaris 8 10/01, Solaris 9 4/03
     * E2900,E4900,E6900: Solaris 8 2/04, Solaris 9 4/04, Solaris 10 3/05
     * B200x, v20z, v40z: Solaris 9 x86 4/04
     * v20z,v40z single-core: Solaris 10 x86, Solaris 9 HW 4/05 x86
     * v20z,v40z dual-core: Solaris 10 x86, Solaris 9 HW 9/05 x86
     * X2100: Solaris 10 x86
     * X4100,4200: Solaris 10 x86 3/05HW1
     * T1000: Solaris 10 1/06
     * T2000: Solaris 10 3/05HW2

   9.2) How can my program tell what model Sun it is running on?

   On older suns, the model type is encoded in the hostid, and
   /usr/sbin/prtconf will reveal the model type.

   "Suntype", written by John DiMarco (jdd at cs.toronto.edu) is a shell
   script which does the appropriate thing on all suns. It is available
   for anonymous ftp at ftp://ftp.cs.toronto.edu/pub/jdd/suntype

   Alternatively, grab Michael Cooper's <mcooper at magnicomp dot com>
   "sysinfo" program, which provides all sorts of information about a
   given system, including the machine type. sysinfo is available on the
   web at http://www.magnicomp.com/, although it is now a commercial
   product that is free only for educational and non-profit
   organizations.

   9.3) How do I find out a Sun's boot prom revision?

   Type "banner" at the prom, or type "/usr/sbin/prtconf -V" to determine
   the prom revision of a particular machine.

   Alternatively, grab Michael Cooper's <mcooper at magnicomp dot com>
   "sysinfo" program, which provides all sorts of information about a
   given system, including the prom revision. sysinfo is available on the
   web at http://www.magnicomp.com, although it is now a commercial
   product that is free only for educational and non-profit
   organizations.
     _________________________________________________________________

   9.4) * Which hardware/software is capable of 64-bit? Which is only
   64-bit? How can I tell which is running?

   All UltraSPARC and SPARC64 (Primepower) hardware is capable of running
   in 64-bit mode; earlier SPARCs (HyperSPARC, SuperSPARC, etc.) are
   32-bit only. Only some UltraSPARC-I, UltraSPARC-II, and
   UltraSPARC-II-i systems are capable of both 32-bit and 64-bit
   operation; later UltraSPARC systems are 64-bit only.

   Early UltraSPARC-I hardware (up to 200MHz) suffers from a bug where,
   in 64-bit mode, a certain code sequence can cause the processor to
   stall, and thus UltraSPARC-I machines run in 32-bit mode by default.
   To allow a 64-bit kernel on such a machine, edit/create
   /platform/<platform-name>/boot.conf and add the line:
   ALLOW_64BIT_KERNEL_ON_UltraSPARC_1_CPU=true

   All Sun Opteron hardware is capable of both 64-bit and 32-bit
   operation, but Solaris x86 on some Opteron models (X2100, X4100,
   X4200) runs in 64-bit mode only. Sun Xeon and Pentium-III hardware are
   capable only of 32-bit operation.

   "isainfo -kv" or "isainfo -b" will indicate whether a system is
   running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode.

   10. Miscellaneous Software
     _________________________________________________________________

   10.1) My remote ufsdump is failing with a "Protocol botched" message.
   What do I do?

   The problem produces output like the following:

        ...
       DUMP: Dumping /dev/rsd0a (/) to /dev/nrst8 on host foo
       DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
       DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
       DUMP: estimated 8232 blocks (4.02MB) on 0.00 tape(s).
       DUMP: Protocol to remote tape server botched (in rmtgets).
      rdump: Lost connection to remote host.
       DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 1

   This occurs when something in .cshrc (or .profile) on the remote
   machine prints something to stdout or stderr (eg. stty, echo). The
   remote ufsdump command doesn't expect this, and chokes. Other commands
   which use the rsh protocol (eg. rdist, rtar) may also be affected.

   The way to get around this is to add the following line near the
   beginning of .cshrc, before any command that might send something to
   stdout or stderr:

   if ( ! $?prompt ) exit

   This causes .cshrc to exit when prompt isn't set, which distinguishes
   between remote commands (eg. rdump, rsh) where these variables are not
   set, and interactive sessions (eg. rlogin) where they are.
     _________________________________________________________________

   10.2) * Where can I get a C compiler for Solaris?

   Sun's "Studio" compiler suite can be obtained at
   http://www.sun.com/software/products/studio. Various third-party
   commercial SPARC compilers are also available, including:
     * http://www.ghs.com
     * http://www.apogee.com
     * http://www.windriver.com
     * http://www.pgroup.com
     * http://www.intel.com (Solaris x86 only)

   The open-source GCC compiler and related tools are available on the
   Solaris Software Companion CD, which is part of the media kit for the
   Solaris distribution. The contents of this CD are also available for
   free download at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware Thanks
   to Eric Boutilier <Eric dot Boutilier at Sun dot COM>

   GCC binaries can be retrieved from the following sites and many
   others:

   10.3) How do I read Microsoft Word documents on my Sun?

   You can obtain some of the raw content of the document by using the
   "strings" command. Note that Word documents (and documents produced by
   other Microsoft Office programs, like Excel) can sometimes contain
   hidden information that is not normally accessible from Word, but is
   visible using "strings" (this can be a good reason not to distribute
   documents in MS Office formats).

   It is possible to run some versions of Microsoft Word on your Sun,
   using Bochs, WABI, SoftWindows, WinCenter, WinDD, SunPC, or some other
   Windows integration product.

   You can use a word-processor that can import the various MS Word
   formats. For example, Word Perfect from Corel Corporation is capable
   of reading and saving in various MS Word formats. Word Perfect is
   available for several versions of UNIX, including SPARC/Solaris 2.x.
   Sun's StarOffice is available for various operating systems, including
   Solaris/SPARC, from http://www.sun.com/staroffice. OpenOffice is also
   freely available for Solaris x86 and SPARC from
   http://www.openoffice.org.

   From a PC/Mac, you can print postscript output to a file, and view the
   postscript on the Sun using docviewer or ghostscript/ghostview.

   Thomas Anders <anders at hmi dot de> points out that LAOLA (a Perl4
   package that can read Word6 and Word7 format is available on the web
   at http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~schwartz/pmh/.

   Another option (suggested by Thomas <tunixlists at gmail dot com>) is
   a GPL-licensed command-line utility called "antiword". His mutt
   mailcap file is setup as follows:
application/msword; antiword %s; copiousoutput; description="Microsoft Word Tex
t"; nametemplate=%s.doc

   Antiword is available from http://www.winfield.demon.nl.

   10.4) How do I restore to a different location the contents of a
   tarfile created with absolute pathnames?

   Tarfiles should not normally be created with absolute pathnames, only
   with relative pathnames. Do not type "tar c /path/name" to create a
   tar archive, type "(cd /path; tar c name)" instead.

   Note: if you do "(cd /path/name; tar c .)", you will indeed avoid
   absolute pathnames, but beware that the tarfile created may silently
   overwrite the permissions of the current directory when unpacked.
   That's OK if you unpack it via:
        "mkdir name; cd name; tar xf /my/tarfile.tar

   That's not OK if you unpack it via:
        "cd /tmp; tar xf /my/tarfile.tar"

   It's not OK because you will change the permissions of /tmp.

   If you do have an archive created with absolute pathnames, you can
   unpack it in a different location by using GNU's version of tar, which
   will strip off the leading /.

   Alternatively, you can use pax to strip off the leading /, as follows:
         pax -r -s '/^\///' <abspath.tar

   Or you can use chroot and a statically linked version of tar, as
   follows:
        cp /usr/sbin/static/tar /tmp/restore
        # cd /tmp/restore
        # cat abspath.tar | chroot /tmp/restore /tar xf -

     _________________________________________________________________

   11.1) * How come my mouse occasionally doesn't work?

   If it is a mechanical mouse, it may need cleaning. Open up the bottom
   panel by rotating it, and remove the mouse ball. Clean the mouse ball.
   With a Q-tip, clean off any grime on the rotors inside the mouse.
     _________________________________________________________________

   11.2) How can I turn my old sun into an X-Terminal?

   You can simply replace the ttymon entry for the console in
   /etc/inittab with a command that starts up an X server.
     _________________________________________________________________

   11.3) * How can I use an SVGA monitor on my Sun?

   Some older suns use a 13W3 video connector, which looks something like
   this:
     -----------------
     \ O O ::::: O /
      -------------

   A simple adapter will connect a Sun to a SVGA multi-sync monitor,
   providing the monitor (like most better monitors these days) will
   accept composite sync and operate in 1152x900 66 Hz (or whatever
   output your sun produces) mode. (Check the manufacturer's data sheets,
   usually on the Web.) Similarly, adapters are available to connect Sun
   13W3 monitors to PCs or newer Suns with SVGA connectors.

   Adapters are available from many vendors: search for 13W3 on Google.

   This and many other interesting facts about Sun video are answered in
   the Framebuffer FAQ, at one of:
     * http://www.uark.edu/sunfaq/FrameBuffer.html
     * http://bul.eecs.umich.edu/~crowej/sunfaq/FrameBuffer.html

   A related FAQ by the same person is the Colormap FAQ at one of:

   11.4) Where can I find alternate pointing devices for my Sun?

   Bert N. Sure <bert at virtual dot com> claims that Mousetrak makes an
   excellent line of pointing devices. The url is
   "">http://www.mousetrak.com". SunExpress
   (http://sunexpress.usec.sun.com) and Qualix (http://www.qualix.com)
   distribute them. Bert uses the top-of-the-line "Evolution" trackball,
   which has six user-definable buttons and a large ball which is
   manufactured by a billiard ball company in Belgium.

   For 3-D input, SunExpress (http://sunexpress.usec.sun.com) sells the
   SpaceBall 3003, in addition to the standard Sun "SunDials" product.

   Dan Pritts <danno at ans dot net> indicates that one can buy a box
   from sun called the sun interface converter for $75 that allows you to
   use a ps/2-style keyboard or pointing device, or both, and still use
   your sun keyboard or mouse. In particular, the sun interface converter
   supports the Microsoft "natural keyboard".
     _________________________________________________________________

   12. Networking
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.1) Why do both my net interfaces have the same ethernet address?

   The Ethernet version 2.0 specification (November 1982) states:

          The physical address of each station is set by network
          management to a unique value associated with the station,
          and distinct from the address of any other station on any
          Ethernet.  The setting of the station's physical address
          by network management allows multiple multiple data link
          controllers connected to a single station to respond to
          the same physical address.

   This doesn't normally constitute a problem because each interface will
   typically be on a different subnet. If, for some reason, different
   ethernet addresses are required on different interfaces (for example,
   to attach two interfaces to the same subnet), a new one may be
   assigned using the ifconfig command. Alternatively, for all modern Sun
   hardware, you can set the "local-mac-address?" eeprom variable to
   "true", which will cause each NIC to use a unique MAC address. This is
   needed for many failover and trunking configurations.
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.2) How can I know the hardware vendor from an ethernet address?

   The first three octets of a six-octet ethernet address typically
   uniquely identifies the hardware vendor of the particular network
   interface card. This is called the "Organizationally Unique
   Identifier" (OUI). OUI information, including the most recent list of
   public OUIs can be found at http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui

   Note that it is possible that an unidentified OUI could be used, since
   vendors are not required to make their OUIs public, and many network
   interfaces, including Suns, can be configured to use a custom ethernet
   address, so there is no guarantee that the OUI will correctly identify
   the vendor.
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.3) * How do I set my ethernet interface to e.g. 100Mb full duplex?

   The answer to this question assumes you have an hme ethernet
   interface; similar techniques should work for other ethernet
   interfaces; consult the man page for the ethernet driver (e.g. if you
   have an eri driver, "man eri") for more details. If you are not sure
   which ethernet driver is in use, "ifconfig -a" will tell you. For
   example, if ifconfig -a shows e.g. "hme0", you have an hme ethernet
   interface.

   All of Sun's ethernet network interfaces faster than 10Mbits are
   capable of negotiating with a network switch; if this is working, the
   ethernet interface will automatically choose the fastest supported
   setting. However, this may not necessarily work with some networking
   gear, or there may be some other reason to choose a slower setting,
   e.g. cat3 wiring.

   If the two ends have different ideas about what mode the link is, you
   may see "late collision" messages, dropped packets, or complete
   failure.

   To force a particular mode, e.g. 100Mb FD, you can use ndd as follows:

        # turn off autonegotiation
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_autoneg_cap  0
        # turn on 100Mb full-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100fdx_cap   1
        # turn off 100Mb half-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_100hdx_cap   0
        # turn off 10Mb full-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10fdx_cap    0
        # turn off 10Mb half-duplex capability
        ndd -set /dev/hme adv_10hdx_cap    0


   You may have to force the other end (e.g. switch) to use the same
   mode. Consult the manual for your switch. NB: Fast ethernet hubs are
   always 100Mb half-duplex, and ethernet hubs are always 10Mb
   half-duplex.

   If you have more than one hme card in your system, before issuing the
   above ndd commands, you need to first select the specific hme card you
   want to set. For example, to select hme2, type: ndd -set /dev/hme
   instance 2 Subsequent ndd commands to /dev/hme will only apply to
   hme2.

   If you want to force all the hme cards on your system to a specific
   mode at machine boot, you can set hme driver variables in /etc/system.
   For example, to force all hme cards on the system to use 100Mbit FD,
   put the following in /etc/system:

        set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
        set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
        set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
        set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0
        set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.4) How do I find out what process is using a particular port?

   Ports are held open in the same way as files are, by file handles
   within the process. In most states, a port will also have a handle
   into another process on the other side of that connection. If you need
   to find out which process is holding open a particular port, run lsof
   (ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/sysutils/lsof) and grep
   for the port number.

   Thanks to Stuart Whitby <swhitby at legato dot com>
     _________________________________________________________________

   12.5) I have a lot of ports in WAIT states. Why?

   The state of sockets can be seen with the "netstat -a" command. When a
   process attempts to close an ESTABLISHED connection, the transition
   will show a number of WAIT states, depending on which stage of the
   shutdown the port is at.

   When the initial FIN is sent from side a) of the connection, side a)
   will change to FIN_WAIT_1, side b) will change to CLOSE_WAIT, and
   acknowledge the FIN packet. The acknowledgement causes side a) to
   change to FIN_WAIT_2. A socket will rarely be in FIN_WAIT_1 for more
   than a couple of seconds unless there is a problem with
   communications. In this state, data may still be sent from side b) to
   side a), but not vice versa. When side b) receives a close from the
   associated application, or the FIN_WAIT_2_FLUSH_INTERVAL is reached
   without data being sent, it will send a FIN and change to LAST_ACK.
   Side a) moves to TIME_WAIT upon receiving this FIN and acknowledges
   the packet, causing any references to this connection on side b) to
   disappear. The socket in TIME_WAIT will remain for twice the maximum
   segment lifetime (normally a total of four minutes) before dropping,
   in case dropped data packets are resent and misinterpreted by a new
   application on this port.

   13. Electronic Mail
     _________________________________________________________________

   13.1) * Where can I get a POP or IMAP server for my sun?

   The PINE email package comes with both a POP and an IMAP server. PINE
   can be found at http://www.washington.edu/imap. An old, unmaintained
   Berkeley popd can be found at ftp://ftp.cc.berkeley.edu/pub/pop (not
   recommended), and Casper Dik's enhanced version of this for Solaris is
   found at ftp://ftp.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/. A POP server can also be
   found as part of the Eudora ftp repository, at
   ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/unix/servers. A faster alternative is the
   CMU Cyrus IMAP server, which changes the mailbox format to something
   that is more efficient. It can be found at
   ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail. The Courier IMAP daemon also
   takes a similar approach; it's available at
   http://www.courier-mta.org/imap. Finally, Dovecot takes an
   intermediate approach by using the standard mailbox format but adding
   some autogenerated index files; Dovecot is available at
   http://dovecot.org.

   If a commercial package is desired, there are many, including Sun's
   Internet Mail Server. See http://www.sun.com

   14. Printing
     _________________________________________________________________

   14.1) + How do I get started with LP-style printing in Solaris?

   Printing is configured using the "lpadmin" interface, which is
   extensively documented. For a general overview, however, start with
   the basic principles of Solaris printing, documented at
   http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/basicprinting.html, and the
   Solaris printing FAQ, at
   http://www.freelab.net/unix/sun/solarisfaq/printfaq.html. More
   information about printing in Solaris is available at
   http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/printing/history.
     _________________________________________________________________

   14.2) How do I configure a non-postscript printer for postscript?

   Use the Printer Compatibility Database at http://www.linuxprinting.org
   (http://www.linuxprinting.org/database.html) to find out if a
   ghostscript driver is available for your non-PS printer. Then you can
   use ghostscript to translate postscript to something the printer can
   understand. There are various "any2ps" scripts and packages around
   (apsfilter, cups, foomatic, magicfilter). Ghostscript and foomatic are
   bundled in Solaris 10.

   Apsfilter in particular is one of the most flexible filters available:
   the most recent version can be found at http://www.apsfilter.org. For
   Solaris 2.x or later, you will need to add a BSD-style printing
   package such as LPRng (http://www.lprng/org): the system-V-style "lp"
   printing package that comes with Solaris will not easily work with
   apsfilter. Thanks to Andreas Klemm <andreas at apsfilter dot org> for
   this information.

   A much older version of APSfilter was posted to comp.sources.misc as
   part of volume 42, and is available from a comp.sources.misc archive
   site (eg.
   ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume42/apsfilter). If you
   are using Solaris, follow Alexander V. Panasyuk's instructions in
   http://cfauvcs5.harvard.edu/SetGSprinter4Solaris.html
     _________________________________________________________________

   15. Misc System Administration
     _________________________________________________________________

   15.1) I've forgotten the root password; how can I recover?

   You need to have access to the machine's console.

    1. Note the root partition (e.g. /dev/sd0a or /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0)
    2. Hit STOP-A or L1-A (or, on an ASCII terminal or emulator, send a
       <BREAK>) to halt the operating system, if it's running.
    3. Boot single-user from CD-ROM (boot cdrom -s) or network
       install/jumpstart server (boot net -s) (NB: if it asks you for a
       prom password, see below.)
    4. Mount the root partition (e.g. /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0) on "/a". "/a" is
       an empty mount point that exists at this stage of the installation
       procedure. (mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /a)
    5. Set your terminal type so you can use a full-screen editor, e.g.
       vi. (you can skip this step if you know how to use "ex" or "vi"
       from open mode). If you're on a sun console, type "TERM=sun;
       export TERM"; if you're using an ascii terminal (or terminal
       emulator on a PC) for your console, set TERM to the terminal type
       (e.g. TERM=vt100; export TERM).
    6. Edit the passwd file (/a/etc/passwd for SunOS 4.x,
       /a/etc/passwd.adjunct for SunOS 4.x with shadow passwords/C2
       security), /a/etc/shadow for Solaris 2.x and remove the encrypted
       password entry for root
    7. cd to /; Type "umount /a"
    8. reboot as normal in single-user mode ("boot -s"). The root account
       will not have a password. Give it a new one using the passwd
       command.

   Thanks to Stefan Voss <s dot voss at terradata dot de>

   PROM passwords:

   Naturally, you may not want anyone with physical access to the machine
   to be able to do the above to erase the root password. Suns have a
   security password mechanism in the PROM which can be set (this is
   turned off by default). The man page for the eeprom command describes
   this feature.

   If security-mode is set to "command", the machine only be booted
   without the prom password from the default device (i.e. booting from
   CD-ROM or install server will require the prom password). Changing the
   root password in this case requires moving the default device (e.g.
   the boot disk) to a different SCSI target (or equivalent), and
   replacing it with a similarly bootable device for which the root
   password is known. If security-mode is set to full, the machine cannot
   be booted without the prom password, even from the default device;
   defeating this requires replacing the NVRAM on the motherboard. "Full"
   security has its drawbacks -- if, during normal operations, the
   machine is power-cycled (e.g. by a power outage) or halted (e.g. by
   STOP-A), it cannot reboot without the intervention of someone who
   knows the prom password.
     _________________________________________________________________

   15.2) How do I disable/remap STOP-A/L1-A?

   First, be sure you want to do this. If the problem is that users are
   halting and rebooting the machine, note that disabling STOP-A will
   merely prompt them to powercycle the machine (or remove and re-insert
   the keyboard plug) instead. This is actually worse.

   But if you're sure you want to do this, compile and run this little
   program.

            printf("Abort sequence is now %s.\n", mode?"enabled":"disabled");
    }

   Stefan Voss <s dot voss at terradata dot de> points out that in
   Solaris 2.6 or later, you can type "kbd -a enable|disable" or put
   "KEYBOARD_ABORT=enable|disable" in /etc/default/kbd.

   As of Solaris 2.6 with patch 105924-10 installed, Solaris 7 with patch
   107589-02 installed, or Solaris 8, you can also set the abort sequence
   to the Alternate Break character sequence ("<Return> ~ <CTRL-B>", with
   at least half a second between characters, and at most 5 seconds for
   the whole string) with the command "kbd -a alternate", or by putting
   "KEYBOARD_ABORT=alternate" into /etc/default/kbd.

   Alternatively, you can disable all break signals by putting the line:

   set abort_enable=0

   into /etc/system, and rebooting.

   15.3) How do I manage services in Solaris 10 and later? Do I still
   make links in /etc/rc*.d?

   In Solaris 10 build s10_64 and later, Sun introduced the service
   management facility (smf) which makes /etc/init.d and /etc/rc?.d
   scripts "legacy". Management of the services is now done through svc*
   commands.

   The legacy init.d scripts are now specified as running in run-level
   "milestone". From the man pages:
     * /etc/rcS.d (milestone/single-user:default)
     * /etc/rc2.d (milestone/multi-user:default)
     * /etc/rc3.d (milestone/multi-user-server:default)

   Each service name is now named with a Fault Management Resource
   Identifier (FMRI) with the scheme "svc:". For example, the sendmail
   service would have be "svc:/network/smtp:sendmail".

   You can also abbreviate the FMRI by using the instance name (e.g.
   sendmail) or using the last parts of the service name like:
     * sendmail
     * :sendmail
     * smtp:sendmail

   To check all services in the machine, run "svcs -a". From the list,
   you can enable and disable services through "svcadm".

   To disable, use "svcadm disable [options] <FMRI>". For example: svcadm
   disable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail or svcadm disable sendmail

   One useful option is "-t", to temporarily disable the service until
   reboot.

   To enable, use "svcadm enable [options] <FMRI>". For example: svcadm
   enable svc:/network/smtp:sendmail

   Useful options are "-r" to enable the service including all
   dependencies, and "-t" to temporarily disable the service until
   reboot.

   Dependencies and other information on the service can be invoked via
   "svcs -l <FMRI>"

   As an alternative to using "ps" to check service processes, you can
   now use "svcs -p <FMRI>" to list the processes associated with the
   service.

   For further information, check the man pages on smf, svcs, svcadm and
   svcfg.

Message-ID: <20090218210428.GA19168@teddy.fas.com>

Yes, I know it's old :-). But we have control systems that are locked at
this version. I am trying to update my Amanda backup system, and Amanda has
broken compatibility between new and old versions, so if I upgrade the
server, I have to drag all the ancient clients along for the rid. Right at
the moment, I think I am close to getting the current version (2.6.10 built
on this old version of Solaris, but it has been a long time since I did
porting on a daily basis, and this is probably a rookie question, but I
cannot remember. My compile is failing with unresolved symbols. The
functions I need are in libiberty. But the only version of this that gets
installed by the GCC and friends from SunFreeware is a .a version, not a
.so version. I added -liberty to our linker command line in the Makefiles
by hand, but the symbols are still not getting resolved. here is the command
the Makefile is generating:

gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wparentheses -Wdeclaration-after-statement
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wformat
-Wformat-security -Wsign-compare -Wfloat-equal -Wold-style-definition
-Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unknown-pragmas -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -o
genversion genversion.o .libs/versuff.o  -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib

/usr/local/lib/libiconv.so -lresolv -lcrypto -lsocket -lnsl -liberty
-R/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib

What do I need to do to request the linker to try to obtain the functions
from the archive library?

Has anyone successfully found a netbackup client for Solaris 2.6 and

supported by Symantec, but figured someone here would have a solution.

Hi all-

Strange thing happening that I can't figure out.  Running 5.10 on
Ultra-45 patched to the latest.

Whether using 'ssh -X' or 'xterm -display hostname:0' I
can't get a
window from a remote machine to display on my local desktop.  Removed
~/.ICEauthority, .TTauthority, and ~/.Xauthority.  Looged out, logged in
again and it's not working.  Removed files again and rebooted local
workstation, but it's still not working.  NEED to display remote process
window on my workstation.

I think it's something with the local Xserver because it's not tied to
ssh and I can get the remote X clients to display on a [very
inconvenient] alternate workstation.

TIA,
-Sal

Thanks to Peter Kunst, Hong Duong, Sean Walmsley, Crist Clark, Matt
Clausen, Mr. D R Hughes, Francisco Roque , John Hallman, and Rodney
Rodgers for responding.  Almost all said to 'xhost +' or 'ssh
-X', but
that wasn't the problem (as stated in my original post).

And the Grammy goes to....

Sean Walmsley pointed out that Xsun was starting with "-nolisten"
because of options in the service configuration.  He says:

    svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen = true
    svcadm refresh x11-server

I set "options/tcp_listen=true" but couldn't refresh x11-server
(no such
service).  Instead, it worked fine once I logged out and then logged
back in.

Don't know what could have changed this in any recent patches.  Can't
remember the last time I *NEEDED* to export DISPLAY, but it used to work
just fine and then it stopped.

Hi All,

I am looking to give permission to samba shares from Unix servers to
windows users. Currently, the users log in via AD and are not created at
Unix end. The access mode of the Samba shares is not based on AD users and
rather based on the permission at the Unix end.

I googled in to find the right documentation to setup this configuration
but nothing sounded to work for me.

It would be of gr8 help if anyone can provide the process or point me to
the documentation.

Thank you

 Ajay Gupta

We recently obtained a Sun T5440 with four internal SAS 146GB disks.

The system will house a large number of zones, not certain at this point if
we'll be creating multiple LDOM's.
The only additional external storage will be NAS devices, no SAN.

My initial thought is to use the built-in hardware raid controller for the
boot drive mirror (disks 0 & 1) and use ZFS for a storage pool comprising
disks 2 & 3 as we prefer the flexibility ZFS provides.

That said, would there be any advantage to creating a second hardware raid
volume using disks 2 & 3 and then allocate space via ZFS, or bypass a
second
hw raid mirror and just create a zfs mirror pool.

We're not yet prepared to us zfs as our boot device.

Thanks.

Thanks to all who replied (Dennis, Phillip).

Official answer from both Emulex and Qlogic is:

Only targets (Arrays/VTLs/Filers) follow the "same Node WWN on all public
FC
ports", initiators (HBA cards) don't follow this convention/rule.

So having different Node WWNs on the physically same HBA is "ok".

Hi colleagues,

Let's assume I've got a single HBA card with 2 fibre ports on it (in
this case Emulex card). From what I've understood World Wide Port
Names on such a card should be different and World Wide Node Name
shold be the same according to the theoretical rules.

# luxadm -e dump_map /devices/pci at 15d,600000/SUNW,emlxs at 1/fp at 0,0:devctl
Pos Port_ID Hard_Addr Port WWN Node WWN Type
......
3 1f0027 0 10000000c95d21eb 20000000c95d21eb 0x1f (Unknown Type,Host
Bus Adapter)

# luxadm -e dump_map /devices/pci at 15d,600000/SUNW,emlxs at 1,1/fp at 0,0:devctl
Pos Port_ID Hard_Addr Port WWN Node WWN Type
......
3 b0055 0 10000000c95d21ec 20000000c95d21ec 0x1f (Unknown Type,Host Bus
Adapter)

Does anyone know why the WWN Node numbers are different on the
physically same card?
Is this a Solaris driver issue or the manufacturer has not followed
the theoretical standard of WWN Node being the same on each port of
the same physical card?

Do you know where it is on the chassis? I can't pull it from the rack right

It's on the left front bezel as per the manual (rtfm I suppose is the

here's tfm:

What I have on my left front bezel looks more like a part number than a

Subject: 280R jumpstart problem.
Message-ID: <B244A45956926C40B7D31D68F0DF9B262B951A993A@MBX72.ad2.softcom.biz>

Hi,

I'm having problems trying to jumpstart an old 280R that I've inherited. I
want Solaris 8 on it for some testing, but I've tried 9 too and that gives
similar problems.
Jumpstart configuration is fine, I think, it gets an IP then snoop reveals
load of NFS activity as expected, then it hangs.

Solaris 8 hangs at:

Subject: Planning for Solaris 10 Upgrade
Message-ID: <61d255bb0902191001v4f76d152w669c23a151686403@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Managers,

We have an upcoming project to Upgrade our production Server from Solaris 9
to Solaris 10.

Part of the objective is to ensure that applications and databases will run
fine after the upgrade.  We have customized applications that needed to be
checked.

I've come up with a high level plan but have some questions which I hope you
can help me clear out.  Please comment also on the plan, if you have some
experience doing the upgrade.

Thanks in advance!

==


I.       First, is to create clone machine to perform "dry run" of the
upgrade

-         use flar to create archive and restore.

-         use SUNFIRE V240 with 2x72G as the clone machine



Questions:

1.can we restore flash archive created on SUNFIRE V400, SUNFIRE V40z, SUNFIRE
V1280 to a SUNFIRE V240

2.Solaris Volume Manager is set-up on the production servers, do we need to
do something before the flar archive?

3.There are some servers which are using SAN and cluster, how will this
affect the flar archive? Do  I need to do something before the flar archive
and restore?

II.     Then, perform the upgrade on test machine and test the applications

Questions:

   1. I've been reading and Live Upgrade (
   http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/live_upgrade.jsp)  seems to
   be the way to do the upgrade? Are there other method?
   2. What are the patches required on 5.9 to do live upgrade to Solaris 10?

   3. How do upgrade for system using SAN?  The same server mentioned above
   4. What are the considerations for LiveUpgrade with cluster environment?
   5. What are the fallback methods that we can use?

 III. Perform the upgrade on the actual server

Subject: NFS issue on Sun 7410 storage
Message-ID: <499DA15C.5040903@last.fm>

Hi Managers,

We have a Sun 7410 storage system, and have been setting it up recently
to store a Postgres database backup. The setup works exporting a
directory to a Linux client with NFSv3, but we're trying to setup NFSv4
to increase performance.

So, I've configured the idmap domain to be the same at both ends, and
mounted the export on the Linux client. The mount options are sec=sys,
rw, noatime, and all looks happy. Root squashing is disabled for this
client (I've set up an exception on the 7410).

As root on the client, I can create, chmod and chown files, and the
ownership all looks fine. For the database to work, the files in
question must be writable for the postgres user, and this is where I'm
having trouble. When I "su - postgres", this is what I get:-

$ id
uid=106(postgres) gid=500(postgres) groups=500(postgres)
$ ls -ld /db/data
drwx------ 10 postgres postgres 24 2009-02-19 15:28 /db/data
$ cd /db/data
-su: cd: /db/data: Permission denied


Any pointers appreciated. I'm sure this is some subtlety of the NFSv4
access controls we're missing, but I'm not sure what it is....

Thanks,

Mike

Subject: Sunfire 880 config problem with HP Autoloader - no dev files created
Message-ID: <549149.49231.qm@web52510.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

 
Hi Guys,
We have a Sun server (Sun fire 880) , it was originally connected to
StoredgeL9 library for backups and was using Solstice backup/Networker. We
want to connect it to a HP Autoloader 1/8 G1 and configure Data Protector tool
for backups (to replace Solstice backup/networker).
After the HP Autoloader was connected, we executed steps provided by Data
Protector in order to configure the tool. Part of that procedure is to get the
scsi device information to put in the sst.conf file. The server doesn't seem
to generate the appropriate device files which should be something like
/dev/rsst*. Although the server does seem to recognize the device after
devfsadm but no device files created.

Here are the steps provided by DataProtector:
1. Template file "/opt/omni/spt/sst.conf" to be copied to
"/usr/kernel/drv/sst.conf "
2. probe-sci-all command run to output the configuration of the robotic
controller
3. Information added to the sst.conf file in the corresponding /usr/kernel
directory as in sample: "name="sst" class="scsi" target=4 lun=0;"
4. Add the driver to the Solaris kernel and/or a reboot of system if
necessary: add_drv sst
 
After the last step, even though it returns the prompt, the device files are
not there. I've heard that Solaris sometimes has issues with not being able to
generate the symlinks from /devices to /dev and those symlinks then need to be
manually created..?? I did execute a probe-scsi-all thru a local admin.
 
 
Update:
 
We had to connect the StoredgeL9 again to get backups, and we now have
reconnected the Autoloader, but this time I dont even see the device
recognized in the messages file.
I just tried a fresh devfsadm -C and a reconfig reboot, but now add_drv sst
gives this error..
Does it again need a probe-scsi-all even after a reconfig reboot??
 
LOCALHOST :/>add_drv sst
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: sst
Warning: Driver (sst) successfully added to system but failed to attach
 
Currently the server is attached to the HP Autoloader, however Networker
processes are still running.
Now I don't see the device in iostat or messages file.
 
Sorry for the length of the email but I'm trying to provide most of the
information that someone would want to look at to better understand.
 
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Message-ID: <60f08e700902200407k64973e60t85cf5c0cb1f2177a@mail.gmail.com>

We have 2 units of T5120s connected up to a common IBM DS4700 SAN.
Have loaded them with identical Java applications on both boxes.
Need some urgent help on Sun HA clustering :

a)What else do I need to do to ensure that at any one time, one of
   the above two servers has write access to a file on the SAN?
   Would Sun HA cluster help with this?

b) Is Sun HA free of charge?

c) I've never tried setting up SUN HA cluster, so appreciate step by step
    instructions or a link that I can read this up

Or any simple DIY solution (say using Shell scripts with NFS) would be
most appreciated

Thanks

The sun product can use your Redhat support subscription to fetch the

I cannot give you one but we have been very happy with the Sun
product.  It allows us to manage our patching, baseline and report on
machines in a simple and consistent manner.  If you have a reasonable
number of Sun machines then it is worth your while getting UCE to
manage the patches though you may want to hold off trying to buy UCE
because the functionality is apparently being rolling into the xVM
Opscenter product.
========================================================
Hello U,
Sun's current product based on  now named 'xVM Ops Center'[1].
- I don't know what's the cost, I only know that it's not free
- It's still under development
- It can install any patchset you want (not only 10_Recommended)
- It can manage configuration files, packages and patches
- I can manage RedHat as well as Solaris, but I haven't managed any
Linux systems with it
The above features look nice, but my team decided not to use it after
all. The main reason was lack of possibilities of integrating Ops
Center with other bits of infrastructure. Sun seem to concentrate
heavily on the GUI. The first version of Ops Center has a desktop
application written in Java, which has a pretty cumbersome GUI. There
is a command-line tool, but it's so slow, it's not actually usable.
The second version of Ops Center (2.0?) has a better, web-based GUI,
but it still lacks any API. There was some API for other bits of xVM,
but I couldn't find anything relevant to the Ops Center (xVM seems to
be suite of products, Ops Center is one of them). Link [2] shows
something promising (com.sun.xvm.services.opscenter) but my company
was asking Sun about Ops Center API for over half a year, and Sun
haven't come up with anything concrete. The Ops Center API still seems
to be only a promise.
One more problem with Ops Center is that it doesn't support Live
Upgrade. It brings the system to single user mode when patching. It
wasn't acceptable in my infrastructure, and in effect I couldn't use
Ops Center for patching.
My team ended up not using Ops Center. Patching is done with a custom
set of scripts (supporting only Solaris), configuration management is
done with Puppet (supporting both Linux and Solaris). We haven't
solved package management yet, the plan is to build a package

===================================================
We tried to use sun
connection/patch pro with Opsware. We didn't have much success but there
were other factors not sun connection/patch pro. But you have to remember
Sun connection/patch pro does not do recommended patch clusters. It checks
each individual box and then checks the patchdiag.xref file and then
applies the patches that are applicable to that box. So on V240 it might
apply 200 patches but on T2000 it might only apply 100 patches. Sun
connection/patch pro is all good but it depends heavily on Java. Each
version of Sun connection/patch pro requires some basic Java version. If
you applications on the server does not relies on specific version of Java
then you can go ahead but if not then you have to look for workaround. The
basic Sun connection/patch pro will connect directly to Sunsolve server,
you will have to reconfigure it to point to your in house patching repo
server.

==================================================

There is a product called XvM OpsCenter, which is not free.  You can get
more information from
http://www.sun.com/software/products/xvmopscenter/podcasts.jsp
Another product, though not Sun based (nor supported by Sun) but is free is
CFEngine:  http://www.cfengine.org/about.php
We had a demo of OpsCenter, which failed miserably in our environment (due
to our improper utilization/installation of updates) but cfengine works fine
And "yes", if you plan to implement OpsCenter, you will need a Redhat
subscription in order to use the updates.

Hi all,
I am needing some direction if anyone has some on where to dig up MII transceivers these days?  I need ones that are for copper & cant seem to find any.  Long story short I now need two of them for one of our sun servers.  If you happen to have one or two kicking around that you'd sell I'd defiantly be interested.
Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Still no solution to jumpstarting Solaris 8, though.
Solaris 10 jumpstarts fine, hence I don't think there's any problem with the
jumpstart server setup.

I have managed to install it, however, by booting Solaris 10 from the
jumpstart server and installing 8. This gets a bit messy and I had to
re-create /dev/ and /devices/ while booted from 10, and I then patched with
the most recent Recommended set I could get, then I could boot into Solaris
8.

This has enabled us to do the testing we need for now, but I'd still like to
get it jumpstarting properly. Vikas pointed out that the hang seems to occur
during the Qlogics probing which is the one on the motherboard, can't be
removed. From what I've read the firmware for this is included in the OBP
firmware, so I'm wondering if this is too new for the Solaris release.

When I get a chance I might try patching the Solaris 8 mini-root on the
jumpstart server with the newer Recommended set.

Thanks,
Chris.

Subject: Distributed print queues
Message-ID: <20090223104935.GA24936@dev.scms.fi>

Hi Managers,

I came that close now with my duties to touch a topic I am not very familiar
with.
I have been assigned a goal to research availability methods for Solaris
printing. Namely, I thought about distributed queue, a class of printers.
Goal is to have some kind of load balancing between queues pointing to remote
printers so that if one printer fails, jobs will be submitted to available
one. When faulty printer is recovered, jobs must start using it, e.g. perform
a kind of failback.

I wonder if anybody have already done something similar. P.S. I am bound to
using either Solaris or BSD print services.

TIA,

I wont recognize my GCC under /usr/sfw or the SFWspro package under opt.

single bus mode (all 12 disks visible) on one bus. When I connect both

I am having problems with Solaris 10, Netbackup 6.5.3 and SL-48 ( 2xFC).

Certain media ( 3 of 50 brand new) is getting:

I wonder if this is related to unmodified st.conf to meet SL-48

Solaris or SL-48 side.

	not anymmore work
Message-ID: <BBBEF2AD73C747DC82B9C1B5B0CA4E3D@comcept.ch>

Hi Sunmanagers

I used the latest Recommended Cluster from Feb 2009 to patch my System with
Solaris 10 Sparc (SunOS atos 5.10 Generic_138888-03 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-4) with Zones. Within the Global Zone I created a link which
points /usr/local to -> /opt/local/ . The reason for this was to be able to
install within none Global Zones sunfreeware package. In the past this
worked fine and I was able to install within a none Global Zone with pkgadd
-d [package name] a package from sunfreeware. 

Since I patched the system with the latest Recommended Cluster this is not
anymore working and if pkgadd command is launched following happens:

# pkgadd -d libintl-3.4.0-sol10-sparc-local

The following packages are available:
  1  SMClintl     libintl
                  (sparc) 3.4.0

all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all

Installation of <SMClintl> partially failed.


Now even I looked arround I could not find any hints regarding changes
within pkgadd etc. which probably explains the behaviour.

PS: By the way within the Global Zone as within a whole root Zone the
installation of a sunfreeware package works perfect only within a spare root
Zone it does not work.

Could anybody point me to the correct direction/solution?

We have a couple of E250/450 that's going to be end of hardware
maintenance (Dec 2009) and we can't buy further maintenance
support from Sun.

As our legacy applications run on Solaris 8 and Oracle 8, we plan
to get newer hardware models and just port over Solaris/Oracle 8
to the newer hardware.

Any idea which models can still support Solaris 8?

Can Oracle 8 run on Solaris 10?

Dear prospective sunmanagers poster,

Before posting, please stop for a minute and consider whether or not your

possible question related to managing Sun equipment or software.  The only
appropriate questions for Sun Managers are time-critical questions about Sun
system management problems that are not answered in the manuals or system

In particular, the following kinds of postings are not appropriate:

	- Subscribe and unsubscribe messages.  Point your web browser to
	  http://www.sunmanagers.org instead.
	- Test messages of any sort.
	- Discussions about anything, including discussions about the list
	  itself, or followups to any posting, with the exception of a single
	  summary to one's own question summarizing the email responses.  Use
	  instead one of the Sun newsgroups, eg.  comp.sys.sun.admin,
	  comp.sys.sun.hardware or comp.unix.solaris.
	- Replies to any SunManagers posting, even if the reply is a
	  separate question.  Please send a separate message instead.
	- Postings not related to Sun equipment or software.  Use the 
	  appropriate newsgroup or mailing list instead.  For example,
	  if your question concerns "sendmail", please consult the
	  comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup or the www.sendmail.org website.
	- General UNIX or network questions.  Use the appropriate newsgroup,
	  eg. comp.unix.questions instead.

	- Please, no postings in HTML, rich-text-format, Microsoft Word,
	  Word Perfect, or any format that some people on the list would not 
	  easily be able to read.  Also, please post in English only; most
	  of our readers are not able to read other languages.
	- Please do not BCC (blind carbon copy) the list.  Many of our
	  list members depend on the list address appearing on incoming
	  mail messages, so that they can automatically distinguish list
	  traffic from other traffic.  

Please note that we are not saying these postings are necessarily "bad" or
"stupid".  They are not.  They are merely inappropriate for this list.  There
are many other lists and newsgroups for which the question may be completely
appropriate, and we encourage you to submit the posting there.

Note also that your question may have been already answered in the past.
Please spend a minute or two checking one of the Sunmanager's archives, 
for example, at http://www.sunmanagers.org, or one of the archive sites
mentioned in the FAQ.

Here's an example of an appropriate question:

	I have a SPARCserver 99 running Solaris 9.8.7 with the fizbozz patch
	and the jumbo kernel patch version 158.  After I installed
	Futzbarworks version 3.2, the machine locks up every couple of
	hours.  When it locks up, the following message appears on the
	console:  
		zz0: out of futzbufs.  Barworks table is full.  
	I need to get this machine working as soon as possible.  Please
	help!  Send email and I will summarize to the list.

To submit a question, email it to sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org.  When you do
this, please indicate all relevant information, including machine type, OS
version and patches.  Collect email replies, and then summarize them to the
list.  If your question was posted with a subject of "foobar", for example,
then please post your summary with a subject of "SUMMARY: foobar".

Why are we asking that only certain types of postings be submitted to the
list?  Very simply, the reason is this:  we want the list to have a very
short turnaround time, and the only reasonable way to do this is to keep it
unmoderated.  But this means that every message sent to the list ends up in
the mailboxes of all the list members.  To keep all the members of the list
from being deluged by inappropriate messages, we need everyone's co-operation
in ensuring that only appropriate messages are sent to the list.

Please remember, Sunmanagers is a public forum: we have thousands of
subscribers, all posts are archived on numerous archive sites, and these are
searchable via various web engines.  A great number of people will read your
message.  Keep in mind that the person reading your message may be your boss,
your future boss, your customer, your seminar instructor, your colleague, or
someone else that you work with today or may find yourself working with
tomorrow.  We do not want you to embarrass yourself by sending an
inappropriate or poorly thought-out posting.

Subject: "svcadm enable" for Next Reboot
Message-ID: <49A3EA6D.33E4.0097.0@globalstar.com>

I hope this is an easy one. How do I enable a service to start
at the next reboot, but I don't want to actually start it now
in the Solaris 10 SMF?

I don't see an option for "svcadm enable" for this. I tried
to go in and just set the "general/enabled" property of the
service to "true" using the "svccfg" command, but to my
surprise, that actually tried to start the service just like
"svcadm enable" would.

Is there a way within SMF to do this gracefully?

During normal operations, they respond/connect with a remote application
and local telnet localhost 11061 or 11062.  During the time of issues,
all the above is the  same however I can no longer telnet to localhost
11061 or 11062 successfully but netstat -an states "listen"



Running a truss -fp pid shows the process is active.



Normally within a hour the application starts to respond again and no
application restart is required.  Any ideas?

Hi,

Firstly, apologies if this isn't strictly within the remit of the
list, but I figure it's better to ask for forgiveness than
permission....

A client of ours doesn't have a Solaris subscription, but requires a
core dump to be analysed.  I don't have the skills to do this myself,
and it doesn't make sense to spend hours / days learning to.

If there's anyone on the list who could do this for me, I would be
happy to subcontract the work.

Please let me know if this is possible, and what would be involved.

Thanks,

Subject: How to check HBA speed on solaris9
Message-ID: <49A580B6.70800@fjserv.net>

Guys i've been trying to search on sunsolve, google  plus looked through 
the docs for the HBA, but i can't find anywhere how to check its 
installed correctly and getting the right speeds.

We have an oldish E220R and have just installed a PCI Ultra320 Dual SCSI 
card and attached an SL24 with 2 x LTO3 drives.

In order to do this we put Solaris 9 09/05 release on the box so the mpt 
driver is used.

I can see the mpt driver loaded but there is no /kernel/drv/mpt.conf file.

I have added the tape drives with cfgadm  and can see the correct 
channels and /dev/rmt entries as i'd expect.

I just want some confidence and to find out where to check :-

a) that the HBA is installed correctly and using the correct drivers etc
b) that there are no speed issues with the HBA through configuration.

Doing a ufsdump to the drives through the /dev/rmt/0cbn device i'm 
getting about 20mb/s on a 1gb file. Just seems rather slow to me, but is 
that the bus of the E220r ?

I got quite a few responses. Several suggested using
legacy rc*.d scripts. Yes, that is an option, but I was
asking about doing it all within SMF. A Darren Dunham
helped me with the piece I was missing.

The following works,

	# svcadm disable -t <FMRI>
	# svccfg -s <FMRI> setprop general/enabled=true

Running that first "disable -t" command, even though the
service is already disabled, tells the running SMF daemons
not to start it up when you change the "general/enabled"
property to "true." Precisely what voodoo does that, I am
not sure.

Also in my particular case, I could work around the problem.
The service in question, NTP, will fail to start and fall
into the "maintenance" state when started without the
/etc/inet/ntp.conf file. So, I could enable the service
without the configuration file, let it fall into maintenance,
and then put the configuration file in place. The system
will not clear the maintenance state without intervention
or a reboot, so I could get away without the explicit
temporary disable.

Thanks for all of the responses.

Message-ID: <D751E6500ECA284380F03CED520237EB01274564@BLACKJACK.cryptologic.com>

Hello,



We have a SunFire x4200 M2 server with four single-port fibre channel
HBAs (Sun part# SG-XPCIE1FC-QF4) and Solaris 10 x86 update 5 installed
along with the December 2008 Solaris 10 x86 recommended patch set.



The fibre channel cards are connected to two Brocade 200e fibre channel
switches, which provide a point-to-point connection between the SunFire
server and two Storedge 3510 fibre channel disk arrays:



  SunFire x4200 M2 server w/ 4x single-port fibre channel HBAs > 2x
Brocade 200e fibre channel switches > 2x Sun Storedge 3510 fibre channel
disk

arrays with hardware mirroring



Mpxio is managing the multiple logical device paths to the luns defined
on each disk array.



It's all working very nicely with zero modifications to the base Solaris
10 installation.



However, I have a question regarding the contents of the default fibre
channel port driver configuration file (/kernel/drv/fp.conf).



The top of the file contains the following entries:



name="fp" class="fibre-channel" port=0;

name="fp" class="fibre-channel" port=1;



Do these entries represent the first two (of four) fibre channel cards?



Do I have to add two additional entries for fibre channel cards two and
three?:



name="fp" class="fibre-channel" port=0;

name="fp" class="fibre-channel" port=1;

name="fp" class="fibre-channel" port=2;

name="fp" class="fibre-channel" port=3;



Thanks

Hi,

We're planning to upgrade our production Server Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 with
Cluster environment - veritas volume manager. The most obvious path is to
use Live Upgrade but I'm not sure if there are special procedures for the
Cluster environment.

The bad thing is we do not have a development cluster environment. We only
have the production so I'm taking as much information as I can.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You should just try the app on solaris 10.
It will probably just work.

> Can Oracle 8 run on Solaris 10?

While not supported by Oracle (not that Oracle 8 is still supportable
outside of extended contract) you can run Oralce 8 on Solaris 10.  I have
a few T2000 servers running in that setup.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You can use Solaris 10 zones to encompass Solaris 8 and 9 installs, provided
you don't need any extremely special hardware access.  So you could buy any
newer hardware running Solaris 10, install a Solaris 8 zone inside, and
migrate your app to that zone: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2914


Otherwise you can look through the Sun System Handbook and see if anything
is listed as supporting Solaris 8, but i don't think you will find anything:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/validateUser.do?target=Systems/index


If you really need real hardware for the OS, you could try buying something
off of ebay.  Last i checked, fully loaded v880's go for around $4k.  You
can again check the Sun System Handbook for more recent hardware models that
support Solaris 8 and might still get Sun support for, such as a v890.


You might also try a third party support provider and see if they will
support the older hardware for you.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We faced the same issue where I work and I ended up getting new Sun
Sparc hardware (Sunfire T2000's) and running solaris 10 on them. With
solaris 10 you can use containers to run solaris8 and 9 virtual machines
through something called a "branded zone". I use solaris 8 branded zones
to run legacy seismic applications and they seem to work fine.  You can
download solaris 10 and the solaris 8 and 9 branded zone software for
free from sun.com so you could try it out on some older sun hardware to
make sure it's going to work for you. Let me know if you have any questions.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Yes, Oracle 8 runs on Solaris 10 :)

You can consolidate serveral 'old' servers into Solaris zones, either 8/9/10
with Solaris 10.

Solaris binary compatible even backwards.

Francisco Puente

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You can run Solaris 8 in a Zone on a Solaris 10 machine, or Oracle 8 and any
other Solaris 8 binary should run on Solaris  10.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Firstly, I believe the latest boxes running Solaris 8 are the Sun V440s;

Secondly, if Oracle 8 can run on Solaris 9, you may be able to get V445s;

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi,

only SF490 with 1.35Ghz boards are able to run Solaris 8. There is no
other system that you can currently buy.
Maybe you could migrate your databases to Solaris 10. And use your Solaris
8 applications with Solaris 8 containers running on Solaris 10;-)



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you've got E450s then a likely option would be a 2nd user v480. You can
pick them up for about $1500.
Otherwise a v490/v880/v890 would fit the bill.

Oracle 8 (must be EOL by now surely?) probably would run on Sol10 but I'm
guessing it's not supported.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


You might want to look at the Solaris 8 compatibility stuff that's included
with Solaris 10's zones.
You're not going to be able to image a disk and boot on new hardware
though...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I checked with out DBA and he says that Oracle 8 will run on Solaris 10
(albeit unsupported) so I would go for that.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

try creating a flar archive of the old machines with oracle stuff included.
Then create a branded zone for Solaris 8 on a Solaris 10 box with big
enough capacity
to hold the flar.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Wikipedia tells me Solaris 8 will be supported until March 2012:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#Versions
