s and S run levels

Hi Managers,

Please find the below run level in solaris.
*S, s--run level*
*
Single user mode. Doesn't require properly formated /etc/inittab.
Filesystems required for basic system operation are mounted.
*
I have a doubt here what is the difference between s and S in this run
level.

Could any one tell me about this doubt please.

Cheers
Hanumanth

thanks for your answeres:

first, it is possible to see it in the OBP like i wrote in my first mail.

2nd:
to see it in a running system, you could use:
# prtpicl -v -c network | grep version
--snip--
:version Sun PCI Gigaswift 1000Base-X FCode 2.12 04/04/22
--snip--
#

thanks to

or 3rd:
# prtconf -pv | grep version
--snip--
version: 'Sun PCI Gigaswift 1000Base-X FCode 2.12 04/04/22'
--snip--

thanks to Cesare and Pascal for the quick answere

regards
-martin/pressy



--question--
hi mates,
is there a command or way to see which firmware my network card(s) has?
i could imaging that i would see it in the OBP (show-nets; cd
/...@../...; .properties) but is there a way to see it in solaris?

Solaris9 (09/05) on a V440 with GigaSwift Ethernet MMF (X4151A) adapters
(using ce drivers)

thanks in advance,
best regards

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hi All,
I have a couple questions on mirroring the root and other slices, all
explain my current layout first.

I have two 73gb drives, and currently one has Solaris 10 sparc
configured on it. On slice 6 and 7 on the active disk I've created
space for the State Databases. On slice 0 of course is "/", slice 1
"/var", slice 3 "/opt", and slice 5 "/home".

Below is the commands I will use to create the mirror on the root file
system.

prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 |fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2

metadb -a -f -c2 c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7
metainit d1 -f 1 1 c1t0d0s0
metainit d1 -f 1 1 c1t1d0s0
metaroot d0
metattach d0 d2

Please let me know if there is a problem here.

Now my second question if I wanted to mirror the rest of the disk/slices
how would I do that, and would I need to create more State Databases?

Maybe the better question is how would I mirror all the slices.

Hello,
I see that there is recommended patches for Solaris 10. However the only
Sol
10 boxes we have are x4100 & x4200 x86 boxes. So the typical way of
bringing
the box to single user mode doesnt work here.

What is the procedure for bringing a X4100 & X4200 x86 Solaris 10 box to
single user mode to apply recommended patch clusters ?


Thank you

Dear managers,

thanks a lot for the many responses. Richard recommmended to give the

Sun StorEdge DAT 72 Tape Drive

a try. It was also recommended to check out www.amenda.org and possibly
sync to a SATA-array.

I will evaluate both approaches!

Thanks a lot!

Dear managers,

I am facing problem while upgrading OS from Solaris 8 to
Solaris 9 using liveupgrade method. The problem is as below:

While activating
and further rebooting the server with init 6 command, the boot process get
stucks at S40standardmounts.sh script. Even after 20 minutes wait also, it
does not comeup and stay in hang mode. Ultimately, I need to go back to
previous boot environment :(

I faced similar problem in my one of the
previous upgrade, but that time I temporarily replaced the mentioned
script
with Solaris 8 one and I was able to boot. Later I changed it with solaris
9
original script. I think that it is a work around only .... not a
solution.
Has anyone faced such type of problem before? Please share your valuable
experiences in this regard. I will consolidate the replies.

Best regards,
Sun

It is a SunFire V440 with 4x1593 Mhz CPU and 8 GB of

I reported this problem to Sun. After reviewing the
core dumps, they said they can't find any problem with
the server (we have a Sun platinum support contract).
They said the server just had a "hiccup" for no
determined reason; and suggested that we bring down
the server and run extended POST a couple of times to
test for any hardware problem, which is a no-no,
because this is one of our critical production Oracle
servers.

Has anybody seen this error message before? What is my
next course of actions? (with Sun).

Thanks,

Hi mates.

One of our clients have an older aplication that only runs in Solaris
2.5.1 one of their boxes an ultra enterprise 1 box has crashed last
Saturday night.

I have tried to install the APP in a solaris 6, and 7 environment but it
always crash.

So I need to install a working copy of Solaris 2.5.1 HW 11/97 in an
ultra
60 box that we have in our laboratory. But when I'm tryng to boot that
box I can't. After a few research in the net I have found I need the
Operating Environment Installation CD February 2000 (OECD), which is SUN
Part No. 704-7076-10.

Can any kind member of this list tell me were I can get one copy of this
CD. I've asked my local Sun provider but it's an obsolete software not
longer provided by sun. I also have checked on EBAY and some SUN
refurbished resellers but seems nobody has this CD.

Thanks a lot from Spain.

Worthy group

I have a question regarding this matter:

Assuming that these boxes where not tampered with, ie: no replace of
cpu's after the boxes were purchased:

The problem here is the 900Mhz cpu's. If it's <900 Mhz it must be a
SB1000, if it's >900 Mhz it must be a SB2000.

I ran a prtpicl -v on the 900 Mhzs (there's probably other ways of
getting this info too) at my site, and this showed me that the SB1000
reported the cpu as UltraSPARC-III and the SB2000 reported the cpu as
UltraSPARC-III+. Could this be a secure way of identyfing SB1000 and
SB2000 ?

Erling

Uname -a gives me the same output, prtdiag -v does the same. Does anyone

Hello everyone,

I'm new to configuring hardware on sparc and have a question:

In order to configure a FC HBA adapter on Sparc is it like in IA-32,
that
you go into the card's BIOS/Firmware to configure the arrays? (I
couldn4t
see any prompt on my server)

Hi all,

and thanks to Jason Grove [jgrove@xxxxxxx] for his response, the only
one I
received so far.
It seems that SUN has discontinued the support for the qfe-card since
it has
reached EOL, it's not supported in Sol 10 x86.
Hm, I think I will have to buy some Gigaswifts...

Have a nice hackin',

Harald

Betreff: SUN QFE-Card in Sol. 10/x86 on V20z?

Hi all,

I need some more interfaces on a V20z running with Solaris 10 1/06. I
have
some ol' QFE-cards lying around, and thought it would be a good
choice for
the problem to use one of them.
Hm... Unfortunately, it's not recognized, so I searched the web to
get the
appr. driver. I figured out that I need a package called SUNWqfed,
but it
seems this package is not available for Sol. 10/x86?! I can't find it
on the
jumpstart, and at SUN's download center, I've only found packages for
the
new GigaSwift cards.
Or, will the GigaSwift driver support the old QFE-card also? Would be
nice
to get it working, I don't need Ggabit, so it does not make sense to
buy new
cards...

Anyone did this before? Any suggestions where to get driver?

Thanks, will summarize,

Harald

Hi agn,

and thanks to Darren Dunham for correcting a little mistake I made in
my
last post (Darren's mail is attached below):

Of course, the qfe-cards are still supported on SPARC-based systems
(I
have one running fine in a E420 with Solaris 10). But, SUN has
decided
not to support them on x86-based systems.
Btw.: The quad gigaswift is working just fine under Solaris 10 x86,
the
appr. driver is part of the OS. I have two systems with QGE-cards
running here as a SUN cluster.

Thanks agn to the list,

Harald

Hi all,

only one I

It seems that SUN has discontinued the support for the qfe-card
since it has
reached EOL, it's not supported in Sol 10 x86.

Those are two separate statements that don't really have anything
do do
with each other.

"EOL" is when sun discontinues the product. That does not mean
that
they've discontinued support. The QFE drivers are still available
for
Solaris 10/SPARC.

However it's not supported on x86 and apparently never has
been. That's
unreleated to the EOL announcement.

Casper *** has posted about porting this driver in the past, but
the qfe
driver is not yet part of the OpenSolaris code, so it can't be
released
yet. I don't know if the situation has changed since his post last
year.

http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=1921

Hm, I think I will have to buy some Gigaswifts...

I don't immediately see any quads on the community NIC driver page.

Dear Managers!
I installed a new DVD rom in my SUN E450 server. I have not been able
to bring it to life after this installation.
Can anybody guide me through the diagnostics process so that i can
what exactly is keeping my server from booting.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

On solaris 9 9/05 (most recent 9_Recommended installed) inetd does
not
seem to honor the -t flag. I have modified /etc/init.d/inetsvc and
added the '-t' flag to the startup line for inetd, also I have
verified
the correct logging settings necessary (daemon.notice) is set
correctly
to log to /var/adm/messages in /etc/syslog.conf.

No inetd connection attempts are logged. Thinking perhaps the -t
flag
was in some way linked to the "ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING" setting in
/etc/default/inetd I set the value in /etc/default/inetd to
"YES". This
did work, connection attempts were logged (following a restart of
inetd)
to /var/adm/messages. This led me to think that the flag in
/etc/default/inetd had to be "YES" for the -t flag to even work so I
now
removed the "-t" flag from the inetd startup and rebooted. The
system
still logged connection attempts (as it should per the man page)
because
of the setting in /etc/default/inetd.

This shows the system seems to completely ignore the "-t" flag to
inetd
in Solaris 9.

Has anyone else had success using -t with inetd in Solaris 9? The
main
reason I ask is we have a large mix of 8 & 9 systems and I would like
to
limit the checks / controls to a single item where possible. It
would
be nice to have this control state that "inetd must run with the -t
flag" instead of having to document separate controls for 8 & 9.

TIA,

Chad Johnson

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3937/6mjgeafpj?a=view#indexterm-199

The /etc/default/inetd file contains the following default parameter
settings. See FILES
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3937/6mjgeafpj?a=view#inetd-1m-fil

ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING

Specifies whether incoming TCP connections are traced. The value
ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING=YES is equivalent to the -t command-line
option. The default value for ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING is NO.

.....

-t

Instructs inetd to trace the incoming connections for all of its TCP
services. It does this by logging the client's IP address and TCP
port
number, along with the name of the service, using the syslog(3C)
<http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3939/6mjgg7haf?a=view> facility.
"Wait" wait-status services cannot be traced. When tracing is
enabled,
inetd uses the syslog facility code daemon and notice priority level.
This logging is separate from the logging done by the TCP wrappers
facility. See FILES

Ok, so some more searching and I found this
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-25-72911-1
which
states:

As of Solaris[TM] 9, using the "-t" flag with the inetd daemon is
superseded by the /etc/default/inetd file.

And then goes on to say:

For further information, refer to the Solaris[TM] 9 inetd man page.

And of course the man page says that -t works. Ahh, the joy of out
of
date / inaccurate documentation.

On solaris 9 9/05 (most recent 9_Recommended installed) inetd does
not
seem to honor the -t flag. I have modified /etc/init.d/inetsvc and

I was troubleshooting this for another admin when the problem
occured. I have since found out that they have installed SFU 3.5 from
Microsoft which is a product that verifies the unix passwd with a
policy on a windows box. The new password didn't meet the criteria so
a permission denied was returned. Thanks for the input from multiple
folks.

Original question:

Update:

I do get a permission denied after the "passwd changed " statement. I
have ran pwconv and checked permissions on /etc/passwd and
/etc/shadow. I have tried taking the nis out of nsswitch.conf for the
passwd word line and still no luck.

Original question:

I have a Solaris 9 box running NIS. When I enter the command passwd
<username> the prompt hangs for about 2 minutes and finally returns
and accepts the new password. After the re-enter passwd section, I
will eventually see the message about passwd successfully changed but
then will be asked to please try again. I have stop and restarted
NIS.

Uname -a gives me the same output, prtdiag -v does the same. Does

Greeting Managers,

We are trying to redeployed our solaris 8 machine with Sun
Storage A5200 disk array when we found out that we lost the
vxvm and vxfs installation media. Thank god the server has not
been formatted yet and we still have the license codes in the
system.

Is there anyway for me to get the installation files for these
2 products? Anybody has them in their archive? We were using vxvm 3.1
along with vxfs (not sure what version).
I'm not sure if the license can be used for higher versions?

Thanks & regards,
-Fadzly
