After the system banner, it still hangs without a message - just sits there. I also upgraded the firmware (OBP). I haven't seen this particular case covered in other Netra jumpstart messages. Any clues? I am stumped.

I've got some problems with nfs tar and chown. I am running Solaris 2.6 as nfs and nis+ server. I use nis+ in nis compatibility mode for some sunos 4.1.3 machines. On these machines, on the nfs shares, no users can do a chown. They get the error "Not owner". Another problem is with tar. When using tar -xof, the files keep the UID that is stored on the tape. Not the one of the user restoring the files. When the tar -xof is done on a local filesystem, this problem doesn't appear.

Anyway, 2nd attempt....... The problem was: Hopefully someone will have come across these issues before and can help. We have a Sparc 20 that has died and we have a Sparc 5 that we could use to get us up and running, however on inserting the boot disk and attempting a boot it is unable to find le0 and/or motherboard SCSI controllers. Is there anyway that /dev and /devices an be rebuilt so that we can use the Sparc 5 disks to boot from. The solution: Many thanks to the following for their contributions. Casper Dik, Michael Auria, Steve Maher, Charles Homan, Marc Sheldon, Steven Hogarth, Pablo Jejcic, Matthew Darcy, Pascal Grostabussiat, Peter Stokes, Roman Pestka, Adam Kirby, Ian Pease. It would appear that the Sun website has a slightly different solution to the one that Casper supplied - but, Casper, that's the one that worked - thanks. The solution appeared to be: =========================================================== echo '#path_to_inst_bootstrap1' > /etc/path_to_inst reboot -- -r =========================================================== For your infomation: Sun list it as "echo '#path_to_inst_bootstrap_1' > /etc/path_to_inst" (Note the extra underscore between bootstrap and 1) Again many thanks as you all were telling me roughly the same things.

Does anyone know what might be going on to cause these symptoms and how to fix it? System is an E6500, 14x400Mhzx14G with two Exabyte 8900 (Mammoth) 8mm tape drives. Solaris 8. The problem is that a ufsrestore of files from backup tapes can take a HUGE amount of time. Case in point - last nite, tried to restore a directory containing approximately 125 Megabytes in approximately 1200 files. Restoring into the /tmp directory ('swap' in the df listing). This is a multi-file tape, the filesystem that we needed to recover the directory from was the second file on the tape so an mt command with fsf 1 was used on the no-rewind device and then an interactive ufsrestore (blocking of 480) to select the directory. The ufsdump (with a block specified as 480) of this file system (approximately 10G) took about 50 minutes. The restore of just the direcory took over 4.5 HOURS! Now I could see it taking 50 minutes but this was ridiculous. And not the first time we've seen this kind of thing altho this was definitely the worst. One other point I might mention: I happened to be in the room where the tape is situated and it sounded like the tape was in high-speed search/motion at least twice during the restore. For whatever THAT might mean.... Thanks and I'll summarize.

I've also rebooted the box in an effort to possibly clear out some rogue process or whatever to no avail.

In PC's the disk will "lie to" the BIOS by multiplying the heads up to a factor that yields 80 GB, since there is a limit on the number of cylinders that will be recognized. Maxtor says the actual number of cylinders is 158,816 but "max cylinders" is 16,383. My Ultra recognizes more than 16,383 but I'm along way away from getting 80 GB. Is there a way?

Been banging my head on this one for a while.... perhaps someone out there can offer some advice. In the past, I've set up ssh key-based authentication using RSA keys with empty passwords for restricted accounts and scriptable scp file copies. Last time I had to set this up, it was between a Solaris 8 box with OpenSSH and an OpenBSD box. The whole process took about 10 minutes to get working. I have a situation here with Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 servers where I'm trying to set up the same sort of thing. I know that the stock ssh on Sol 9 doesn't support key-based auth, so I replaced it with OpenSSH 3.5p1 - same version that is installed on my Solaris 8 box. I generate rsa keys: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa Copy the id_rsa.pub file to the target box and add the contents of the file to the .ssh/authorized_hosts file. That *should* be sufficient, and yet, it doesn't work: debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: userauth_pubkey_agent: testing agent key /export/home/catrep/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: try privkey: /export/home/catrep/.ssh/identity debug1: try privkey: /export/home/catrep/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: try privkey: /export/home/catrep/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: next auth method to try is keyboard-interactive debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: next auth method to try is password The same behavior is evident when using ssh-agent first: $ eval `/usr/local/bin/ssh-agent` $ /usr/local/bin/ssh-add My sshd_config file contains: RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys Any ideas?

At the moment we observe Wait %, Usr %, Sys % as well as the CPU hog factor obtainable from process accounting. Do you think that these are valid metrics to observe for the duration of a process? If so what specific things would you look for? Is it worth creating processor sets on MP boxes? We are basically interested in knowing if a particular application is hindering the performance of other systems on the box. Alternatively, if you have any other suggestions please let me know. Thanks, Matt. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Their reasoning is that this will give some sort of middle-of-the-road timestamp on their documents since these servers will be accessed by users throughout the US. I'm hesistant to give in to this request because it's not my normal procedure and the only thing I could think of is rescheduling and maintaining the backup schedule. Little background: no NFS mounts and user access is done through Citrix servers located with the production servers. Any experiences out there regarding the pros and cons of having your server set to another timezone?

All agreed that root's shell should not be change, ie. if the system reboot and needs fsck or single user mode, you'll have to boot into cdrom --too much of a hassle. Casper and Crist both mentioned that and changing root's shell will not prevent the exploit because it's executable w/in sendmail, dns, etc. and not user's shell. One mentioned that passwd -l might be safer than changing root's shell. One mentioned using qmail and dnscache, of course there's also postfix, but it's a major overhaul moving to a different mail software... Leaving root's shell alone for now and just keeps patching away. - Mike ---------- original message ---------- Maybe I'm not thinking right today or overlook something simple, but... Anyone implementing root's shell to be /bin/false? Since most of us here at work do sudo, and with so many bugs/patches required for sendmail, DNS, and the likes, I can't keep up in a timely manner. I was just wondering if anyone decided to have root shell as /bin/false --ie. easy enough to boot the system via cdrom and recover, edit root's entry should it be necessary. ...or maybe another shell not sure if anything will be broken/requires for root's shell to be /sbin/sh or not. Note, shell changes only, I'm not suggesting passwd -l the account; but then no one needs to login as root in the first place.

Message-ID: <200304012027.h31KRiI20040@shalmaneser.tsg.cbot.com> We have a jumpstart server available to do flash-updates on other servers. When a client does a "boot /net install" everything works fine and we have a built and configured server. The problem is that when this is done every other system on that network that filters rpcbind reports a failed rpc connection. This sends our monitoring applications and the people watching them into a tizzy. When I asked Sun about this problem, they said I just have to live with it ... the /net part of the boot is a broadcast and there is nothing I can do about it. I do not like the phrase "there is nothing you can do about it". So, has anyone figured out a way to do a jumpstart without doing an initial broadcast boot from the client machine? If I could somehow tell the client to boot from a specific IP, all would be good with the world. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Christopher L.

I have tried using the Install Disk, as well as Disk 1 or 2 of software. I've also downloaded and burned the Disk1 of 2 twice to make sure it wasn't the image/disk/etc. I get through the identification stage of the install with no issue. The system then starts running the software scripts (detailed below) and proceeds to panic on a BAD TRAP. Can anyone give me a little direction on where to go with this, and describe a bit what is failing. Here is the actual error. I see similar errors on the list, but most are when the system is already installed, and the key here is that it seems to be the "md" module, whereas it seems the BAD TRAP happens generically for many different modules.

Setup: 2 E420R's - 1 set up as NIS Master and 1 as NIS slave/client OS - both running Solaris8 Oracle 8i - installed on NIS Master Both systems are on the same subnet Problem: Although NIS appears to be running properly and successfully, /var/adm/messages is growing extremely large with the following error message that repeats every 5 seconds: Apr 1 14:03:42 NISmaster ypbind[28563]: [ID 379826 daemon.error] service not installed, use /usr/sbin/ypinit -c The code inside the [] directly behind ypbind changes, but the ID number remains the same, as does the rest of the message. As I mentioned before, NIS appears to be running properly and all yp processes are running. I can execute a "ypcat hosts" on either system and get the map. I can run "/usr/ccs/bin/make" on the master and it pushes the maps out successfully. Things I have modified/checked include: - stopping & restarting yp (/usr/lib/netsvcyp/ypstop & ypstart) When I do this, the error message stops for approximately 10 minutes, then starts up again - editting /var/yp/Makefile and removing all references to maps that we aren't using in the NIS environment (we are only pushing out passwd, hosts, & group in this instance) - checked /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure the proper entries were "files nis" - they are - recreating both the master & slave - cd /var/yp - ypinit -m (for master) - ypinit -s NISmaster (for the slave) - made both systems client using ypinit -c - found the following article concerning Oracle and asked one of our DBA's to check it out (he said that the recommended solution is already in place on the master): - http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=finfodoc%2F18622&zone_32=ypb ind - this article addresses the following: If something (client or server side) formulates a query which that leads to it attempting to contact a non existent database, the setup is likely to send a query off to NIS/YP. It is at this stage, that the NIS/YP domainname in ypbind gets corrupt. We have another sub-net running NIS successfully and the only difference I can see between the two is that the "problem" NIS master has Oracle installed on it while the "good" NIS master doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas that I haven't mentioned above?

Dispite digging around the net via google, and the Microsoft support site, the documentation is spotty and largely unhelpful. I've since then convinced my manager that by using Samba (smbclient) we can easily script file copies across the network to SMB/CIFS shares without the need for a persistant connection of any kind, and he's come around to letting me procceed that way. One note, for anyone interested in trying the Microsoft Slaughterhouse for UNIX kit, NFS serving ONLY works for NTFS file systems, if you use FAT the server won't even install.

In-Reply-To: <1049231469.3e8a006d7e6cf@webmail.smithconcepts.com> References: <1049231469.3e8a006d7e6cf@webmail.smithconcepts.com> Message-ID: <1049234131.3e8a0ad371a3c@webmail.smithconcepts.com> Quoting "Bryan J. Smith" : > [ My apologizes in advance if this is answered in a FAQ somewhere. ] > Limitation (Assumed for Solaris 8): > - /etc/inet/netmasks only supports non-CIDR netmasks (/8, /16, /24) > Problem: > - My subnet is a CIDR (/26). First off, I used CIDR when I meant as shorthand for VLSM (I use the two terms far too interchangably). So when I wrote "/26" I meant it as shorthand for "255.255.255.192" (which is in my /etc/inet/netmask). Secondly, an endless number of people (wow!) have E-mailed off-list and stated that Solaris 8 does, in fact, support VLSM netmasks in /etc/inet/netmask. Okay, that's good to now confirm. Which brings me to why I made that incorrect assumption. Because 1) my /etc/inet/netmasks already has: XX.YYY.ZZ.64 255.255.255.192 [ Where IP = XX.YYY.ZZ.71 and ZZ = class A ] And 2) after a Google search that came back with several pages that said SunOS 5 doesn't support CIDR/VLSM in /etc/inet/netmasks (I'll now assume those are dated / for older SunOS 5.x versions). So I incorrectly assumed the previous administrator** overlooked this and that was the root cause. I'm going to have to check to see where and why the above /etc/inet/netmask is not working on my system. I'll further summarize why it didn't work. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanx. -- Bryan **NOTE: I just changed employers and caught this nagging issue off-the-bat where select clients could not connect to this one Solaris system's web services (because they were all using the same major carrier as I quickly discovered ;-). netstat -r was reporting XX.0.0.0 as the subnet and ifconfig was reporting ff000000 as the mask with XX.255.255.255 as the broadcast address. Sure enough, a quick "ifconfig set XX.YYY.ZZ.71 netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast XX.YY.ZZ.127" took care of the problem completely (can't belive my new employer had been putting up with this little issue for that long -- the previous admin blamed it on Solaris!). -- Bryan J.

Answers ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The Sun-Manager's Mailing list ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 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 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 1.4) * What should I keep in mind when posting to sunmanagers? o VERY IMPORTANT! Before you post, read the sunmanager's list policy, which is available at http://www.sunmanagers.org o 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". o 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. o 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.

Getting Help Over the Net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. Sun recommended patches can be obtained from sun via anonymous ftp to sunsolve1.sun.com. Many anonymous ftp sites have partial collections of patches. The archie service can be consulted. 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 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. There is a special patch tape (U1) available from sun for Sun3's running SunOS 4.1.1 which fixes many of the bugs that were fixed for Sparcs in later releases. Note that sun3's don't run anything later than 4.1.1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 2.2) How do I get help upgrading to Solaris 2.x? Start by reading the Solaris FAQ, maintained and posted periodically to comp.unix.solaris by Casper Dik . It can be obtained by anonymous ftp to ftp.fwi.uva.nl, in /pub/solaris. An HTML version can be obtained at ftp://ftp.fwi.uva.nl/pub/solaris/solaris2.html. 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/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 2.3) How do I access Sun's documentation over the net?

NIS, NIS+, DNS, and NFS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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: Please enter the login password for root: {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: 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 . 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 3. Shutdown and restart any replicas of org_dir.domain.name. at run level O nisping org_dir.domain.name. nisdupdkeys domain.name. nisupddkeys org_dir.domain.name. nisupdkeys groups_dir.domain.name. 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 and Sun INFODOC ID 2213 for this information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 */ 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 4.1) Why does my OpenWindows File Manager abort with a "mknod: permission denied"? Under Solaris 2.3, the first time filemgr is launched, it created a /tmp/.removable directory owned by the user who launched it. If a different user later starts up filemgr, it will try to create /tmp/.removable, but that directory will already exist from the last time, owned by the previous user, so the attempt will fail. Fix by installing patch 101514-02. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Disks, Tapes and SCSI ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 5.1) What is the format.dat entry for drive X? The answer can vary according to what OS you are running, the architecture of your machine or the type of SCSI/SMD/IPI controller you are using. Opinions also vary on how to format once you have all the information you need. If you are buying a Sun supported drive, you will likely find an entry for it in "/etc/format.dat". On third party drives, you should inquire with the vendor you bought it from. If you are on your own, contact the manufacturer, or try to get hold of the manufacturer's OEM manual for your drive model. You might be able to derive enough information from the manual to make up your own entry. Most drive manufacturers provide drive specifications from their web sites. Try these: http://www.seagate.com (Seagate, Connor, Imprimis, CDC) http://www.fujitsu.com/products/support.html (Fujitsu) http://www.maxtor.com (Maxtor, Quantum, Micropolis) http://www.samsungelectronics.com (Samsung) http://www.storage.ibm.com (IBM) http://www.westerndigital.com (Western Digital) It is also possible to contact drive manufacturers by telephone. Some relevant numbers: Fujitsu USA 800-626-4686 408-432-1300 Fujitsu FAXLINE 408-428-0456 Fujitsu Canada 416-602-5454 800-263-7091 Maxtor USA 800-2MA-XTOR Maxtor FAXBACK 303-678-2618 Seagate USA 800-468-3472 405-936-1200 Seagate FAX 408-438-8137 Seagate FAXBACK 408-438-2620 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 Note: do not post a format.dat request to the list or to the comp.sys.sun.admin newsgroup unless you have exhausted all these avenues. 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 generate an appropriate format.dat entry Tips for rolling your own format.dat: - 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 5.2) Can I replace the internal drive in a desktop Sun with a higher capacity model? Yes, so long as the drive does not pull more power and/or require more heat than the drive for which the machine was designed. For a SPARCstation 1, 1+, or 2, do not use a disk dissipating more than 10W. For a later SPARCstation, do not use a disk dissipating more than 11W. Most 5400rpm drives should be alright; 7200rpm drives or faster, particularly early 7200rpm drives, are likely to be too hot. For systems which support two drives, if only one drive is installed, it should be possible to relax this constraint somewhat. For desktop suns with EIDE drives running Solaris 2.6 or earlier, the operating system supports only the first 8GB of an EIDE drive; see question 5.11 for more details. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 For more information about third-party CD-ROMS on Suns, consult the CD-ROM FAQ, maintained by Mike Frisch and Martin Hargreaves . 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/". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. Andy McFadden has an excellent CD-Recordable FAQ at: http://www.cdrfaq.org Thanks to Mark Belanger ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 ). 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 and Michael R. Zika 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 Brian Poole 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 5.11) How do I use an EIDE/ATA disk larger than 8GB? Versions of Solaris earlier than Solaris 7 don't support EIDE drives larger than 8GB -- if you try to use one, only the first 8GB will be accessible. If you are using a larger EIDE drive in this way (with only the first 8GB accessible), are upgrading to Solaris 7 or later, and want to use the full disk, first, back up any data that's on it (this procedure will effectively erase the disk), then zero the disk label: e.g. if your disk is c0t1d0, zero the disk label by: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=1b count=16 and reboot. Solaris 7 or later will then recognize the full disk. Thanks to Michael DeSimone for this suggestion. There are some third-party patches to Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6 to add support for disks larger than 8GB, at ftp://ftp.tadpolecycle.com/pub/bigdisks/ Thanks to Christian Iseli for the pointer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Resource Management and Performance Tuning ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 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". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 6.3) How do I find out how much physical memory a machine has? Use /usr/sbin/prtconf if the machine is running Solaris. 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 . Download memconf from http://www.4schmidts.com/unix.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 6.6) How do I add more PTYs? For Solaris 7 and earlier, add a line in /etc/system that says set pt_cnt = where is the number of PTYs you want. Halt the system, and do a "boot -r". Solaris 2.x supports more than 3000 ptys. The default is 48. Solaris 8 and later create new PTY's as they are needed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Anonymous FTP Service ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 7.1) How do I set up anonymous ftp on my machine? For Solaris 2.x, see the ftpd(1m) 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 7.2) Where can I get a version of ftp that does logging? These are many versions that have enhanced logging or can be modified to enable logging: 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". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Consoles, Keyboards and Key Remapping ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 8.1) How do I make the numeric keypad on a type 5 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 8.2) How do I swap the CAPS LOCK and CONTROL keys on a type 5 keyboard under Openwindows 3.x? There are two ways to do it, one with xmodmap (for X11 only), and the other using keytables. Margarita Suarez 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 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 for the info on xkeycaps. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 Celeste Stokeley's UNIX serial port resources page, at http://www.stokely.com/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 is also available (as TTSSH) with SSH support, at: http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html Thanks to Harvey Wamboldt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Sun models and OS Versions ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. Sun2: SunOS 4.0.3 or earlier. Sun386i: SunOS 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2 only. Sun3: SunOS 4.1.1 or earlier. 4/100, 4/200 series: SunOS 3.2, SunOS 4.0 through 5.4 4/300 series: SunOS 4.0.3 through 5.4 4/400 series: SunOS 4.1PSR_A through 5.4 600 models 120, 140: SunOS 4.1.2 through 5.5.1 600 model 41, 51: SunOS 4.1.3 through 5.5.1 SPARCstation 1, 1+, SLC, IPC: SunOS 4.0.3 through 5.7 SPARCstation 2, ELC, IPX: SunOS 4.1.1 through 5.7 SPARCstation 4: SunOS 4.1.4 or later. SPARCstation 5: SunOS 4.1.3_U1B or later. SPARCstation 10 models 20, 30, 40, 41, 51, 61, 71: SunOS 4.1.3 or later. SPARCstation 20 models 50, 51, 61, 71: SunOS 4.1.3_U1B or later. SPARCstation 20 model HS11, HS21, 151: SunOS 4.1.4 or later. SPARCclassic, SPARCstation LX: SunOS 4.1.3C or later. SPARCstation Voyager: Solaris 2.3 edition II or later. Ultra 1 model 140, 170: Solaris 2.5 or later. Ultra 1 model 140E, 170E, 200E: Solaris 2.5.1 or later. Ultra 2: Solaris 2.5.1 or later. Ultra 5,10,30,60,250,450: Solaris 2.5.1HW1297 or Solaris 2.6HW0398 or later. Ultra Enterprise: Solaris 2.5.1 or later. SunBlade 100, SunBlade 1000, SunFire 280R: Solaris 8HW1000 or later. SunFire 3800, 4800, 4810, 6800: Solaris 8HW0401 or later. The SX framebuffer on the SS10 and 20 is only supported under Solaris 2.x. SunOS 4.1.3 and later versions of SunOS 4.x have been reported to run on multiprocessor SuperSPARC configurations of the SS10, SS20, and 600, but this configuration is not supported by Sun. Anyone who tries this is on their own. The (unofficial) word from inside Sun about whether or not it actually works is as follows: Little testing of the SuperSPARC MP configurations under 4.1.3 have been done by Sun. What little was done showed that under heavy loads the system was prone to crash (What it really did was hang, so badly that even an L1-A would not work). ... We suspect, but do not know, that as the SuperSPARC chips get faster that the problems will manifest themselves more quickly. Caveat Emptor. However, multiprocessor HyperSPARC systems are supported by Ross under both SunOS 4.1.4 and Solaris 2.x. SunOS 5.0 runs only on SS1,1+,2,SLC,IPC,ELC,IPX. While SunOS 5.x does run on the 4/100 and 4/200 systems, the FPU (if present) is disabled, and floating point is emulated in software. The latest version of SunOS 5.x (Solaris 2.x) that runs on the 4/100, 4/200, 4/300, and 4/400 systems is 5.4 (Solaris 2.4). SunOS 5.3 (aka Solaris 2.3) is said to run on the SS5, but without support for the audio device. Solaris 2.3 Edition II, Solaris 2.3 Hardware 5/94, and later versions include audio support. Not all peripherals supported under SunOS 4.x are supported under SunOS 5.x and vice versa. Check with Sun or the peripheral manufacturer. Explanatory note: In general, Solaris = SunOS + Open Windows. Solaris 1.0 = SunOS 4.1.1 + Open Windows 2.0 Solaris 1.0.1 = SunOS 4.1.2 + Open Windows 2.0 Solaris 1.1 = SunOS 4.1.3 + Open Windows 3.0 Solaris 1.1C = SunOS 4.1.3C + Open Windows 3.0 (Classic/LX only) Solaris 1.1.1 = SunOS 4.1.3_U1 + Open Windows 3.0_U1 Solaris 1.1.1revB = SunOS 4.1.3_U1revB + Open Windows 3.0_U1revB Solaris 1.1.2 = SunOS 4.1.4 + Open Windows 3.0_414 Solaris 2.0 = SunOS 5.0 + Open Windows 3.0.1 Solaris 2.1 = SunOS 5.1 + Open Windows 3.1 Solaris 2.2 = SunOS 5.2 + Open Windows 3.2 Solaris 2.3 = SunOS 5.3 + Open Windows 3.3 Solaris 2.4 = SunOS 5.4 + Open Windows 3.4 Solaris 2.5 = SunOS 5.5 + Open Windows 3.5 Solaris 2.5.1 = SunOS 5.5.1 + Open Windows 3.5.1 Solaris 2.6 = SunOS 5.6 + Open Windows 3.6 Solaris 7 = SunOS 5.7 + Open Windows 3.6.1 Solaris 8 = SunOS 5.8 + Open Windows 3.6.2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. For suns with the "Openboot" prom (All sparcstations and the 600 series), /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 "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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 9.3) What MBUS CPU modules are available? How can I tell what module(s) is/are in what model of SS10/SS20/SS600? Three sun models, the SS10, SS20 and the SparcServer 600 series, support Sun's MBUS. All these machines have two MBUS slots. Both modules must be of the same type. SuperSPARC/w cache modules of different speeds are said to work, as are three-processor systems (by combining a single and a dual module of the same type), but such configurations are not supported by Sun. Modules without external cache are not separately clocked, and run at the clock rate of the MBUS. Modules with external cache are separately clocked, and must run at a clock rate higher than that of the MBUS. The SS20 has a switchable 40/50MHz MBUS, the SS600 has a 40MHz mbus, and the SS10 has a switchable 33/36/40MHz MBUS. Ross sells an SS20 derivitive called the Hyperstation 30, which has a 66Mhz MBUS. Warning: different module revisions may or may not work in different systems. Check the Sun part number. Further, newer modules may require that the machine have a sufficiently recent PROM revision to work.

Are there patches for older versions of SunOS/Solaris? Sun's Y2000 efforts are documented on their web page, at http://www.sun.com/y2000 Solaris 2.6 with the recommended patch cluster is Y2000 compliant (no separate Y2000 patch kit is required). Solaris 2.3 through 2.5.1, SunOS 4.1.3U1B, and SunOS 4.1.4 are all Y2000 compliant after the appropriate Y2000 patch kit is installed. The Y2000 patch kit for Solaris 2.5.1 is available for anonymous ftp download from ftp://sunsolve1.sun.com/pub/patches/2.5.1_y2000.tar.Z and ftp://sunsolve1.sun.com/pub/patches/2.5.1_x86_y2000.tar.Z. Y2000 patch kits for Solaris 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5, and for SunOS 4.1.3U1B and 4.1.4 are available to support contract customers only, from http://sunsolve.sun.com/sunsolve ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 9.5) What is the Y2000 compliance status of Sun hardware? Sun's Y2000 efforts are documented on their web page, at http://www.sun.com/y2000 For all Sun hardware that runs a Y2000-compliant version of SunOS/Solaris, the following also need PROM upgrades and/or special patches to be Y2000 compliant: SPARCserver 1000, 1000E, SPARCcenter 2000, 2000E: - requires Prom revision 2.31 or later All Ultra Enterprise X000 machines: - patch ID 103346-08 or later required for systems with Prom revision 3.2.9 or earlier. Enterprise Tape Library 4/1000,1800,3500, StorEdge L1800,L1000,L3500: - Requires LibMON 2.0, available September 1998. Newsprint Printers: - requires Newsprint 2.5b and patch 101941-03 or later. Sun does not test older hardware for Y2000 compliance if it does not run one of the versions of Solaris/SunOS listed in question 9.4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 9.6) How do I find out a Sun's boot prom revision? Type "banner" at the prom, or type "/usr/sbin/prtconf -V" (Solaris 2.5.1 or later) to determine the prom revision of a particular machine. Alternatively, grab Michael Cooper's "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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 9.7) Which hardware/software is capable of 64-bit? Which is only 64-bit? How can I tell which is running? Only UltraSPARC hardware (and Fujitsu SPARC64) can run in 64-bit mode. All UltraSPARC hardware is capable of it, but UltraSPARC-I (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//boot.conf and add the line: ALLOW_64BIT_KERNEL_ON_UltraSPARC_1_CPU=true Solaris 2.6 and earlier are 32-bit only. Solaris 7 and later support both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. Only some UltraSPARC-I, UltraSPARC-II, and UltraSPARC-IIi (e.g. Ultra 5/10) systems support both 64-bit and 32-bit operation. UltraSPARC-IIe (e.g. Sunblade 100) and ULtraSPARC-III (e.g. Sunblade 1000) are 64-bit mode only. "isainfo -kv" or "isainfo -b" will indicate whether a system is running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Miscellaneous Software ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 10.1) My remote ufsdump is failing with a "Protocol botched" message. What do I do? The problem produces output like the following: DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jan 6 08:50:01 1993 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch 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 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 10.2) Where can I get a C compiler for Solaris 2.x? Sun's Forte compilers can be bought at http://www.sun.com/forte/buy.html 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 GCC compiler and related tools are available on the Solaris Software Companion CD, which is part of the media kit for the Solaris 8 distribution. The contents of this CD are also available for free download at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware Thanks to Eric Boutilier GCC binaries (for SPARC and, in some cases, i386) can be retrieved from the following sites and many others: o http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware o ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/ o http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html o http://sunfreeware.com More information on this topic is available at http://inscoe.org/load.cgi?compilesun Thanks to Kevin Inscoe ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 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 Personal Edition is freely available for various operating systems, including Solaris/SPARC, from http://www.sun.com/staroffice From a PC/Mac, you can print postscript output to a file, and view the postscript on the Sun using docviewer or ghostscript/ghostview. Rachel Polanskis suggests word2x by Duncan Simpson , which translates a Word 6.x document into text or LaTeX. She ported it to Solaris; it's available at ftp://ftp.zeta.org.au/home/grove/stuff/word2x-sol.2.5.1.tar.gz Sun produces the PC File Viewer software, which is free to Solaris 2.6 SPARC customers. It allows MS Word files and other common PC application files (e.g. Word Perfect) to be viewed on the Solaris desktop. It's at: http://www.sun.com/desktop/products/software/pcviewer.html Thomas Anders 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/. Other suitable packages include wvWare, which is available at http:/www.wvWare.com, and "wordview", which is available at http://www.fe.msk.ru/~vitus/catdoc/. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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/name; tar c .)" instead. 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 '/^\///' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Miscellaneous Hardware ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. However, if it is an optical mouse, read on: Eugene Kramer points out that type 3 and type 4 optical mouse pads only work in one orientation (long side in the width); if the pad has been rotated, the mouse will only move in one axis, and will appear to be broken. It may not be; just rotate the pad 90 degrees. Alternatively, you may have an old mouse. martin at gea.hsr.it (Martin Achilli) writes: Sun optical mice P/N 370-1170-01 have two LEDs on the underside. One is a normal red LED, the other is an infrared LED. Old mice (4+ years) can have trouble tracking horizontal motion. Cleaning the mouse pad with a solvent may improve things slightly but not completely. I have replaced the red LED on the mouse PCB for eight of my twelve optical mice and the problem has gone. All you need to do is purchase a red LED of the type than focus the beam, NOT the unfocused type that are normally found as indicator lights on equipment. Open the mouse and remove the PCB by unplugging the small black connector. Be careful with the two small spherical lenses which can fall out and easily be lost. Mark the PCB and one of the LED's leads to note the orientation, then desolder the LED marked L1. Pull out the leads from above and pull the LED out of the black plastic mounting. Be careful since the mounting is only glued to the PCB. Check for polarity before inserting the new LED, I noticed that for all the LEDs that I installed, the longer lead must go into the PCB hole close to the letters L1. First fold the LED leads like the ones of the one you are replacing, and then insert it into the mounting, solder the leads and close the mouse. After this, horizontal motion should be much smoother. Disclaimer: I will not take any responsibility for any failure or damage arising from the above procedure Thanks to Martin Achilli . Finally, the wire inside the mouse cable may be suffering from fatigue, usually where the cable is attached to the mouse. If you turn the mouse over, and wiggle the cable where it is attached to the mouse, and if you see the visibly lit LED flickering while you do this, this is your problem. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 11.3) How can I use a VGA monitor on my Sun? A simple adapter will connect a Sun to a VGA 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.) Adapters are available from: Ultraspec Cables, Inc., Lakewood, NJ, USA (voice) (NA) 1-800-622-2537 (int'l) 1-908-901-0200 (fax) (NA) 1-800-222-5337 (int'l) 1-908-901-0240 (e-mail) sales at ultraspec.com The Sun -> VGA adapter is part number 1395 Nudata (908-842-1161, fax 908-905-5708) part number DA1152 Thanks to Randolph Fritz for the above. Bert N. Shure points out that Integrix sells a VGA SBUS framebuffer, the HD15, which permits ordinary VGA monitors to be used on Suns. Integrix also sells various SVGA framebuffers. For more information, consult http://www.integrix.com This and many other interesting facts about Sun Framebuffers 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: http://www.uark.edu/sunfaq/ColormapFAQ.html http://bul.eecs.umich.edu/~crowej/sunfaq/ColormapFAQ.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 11.4) Where can I find alternate pointing devices for my Sun? Bert N. Sure 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 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". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 11.5) What should I do about my Ultra-1's CPU cooling fan? The small five or seven-blade fan that sits on the Ultra-1 CPU heat sink fails over time. Only the Ultra-1 is affected. This known problem is fixed by Field Change Order FCO #A0089-1, which replaces the CPU cooling fan with a better one. Call Sun (in the US, 800-872-4786, and in Canada, 800-722-4786) with the Ultra-1's serial number and Sun will ship a fan free. If you have more than one Ultra-1, ask for several fans. The CPU cooling fan part number is 540-2761. Note that some Sun Spares Reference Guides indicate that it is the fan for the front of the cabinet, which is incorrect. Replacement Technique: 1. Move Power Supply. (a) loosen 2 screws near power connection (b) slide power supply forward and lift out of way. 2 Loosen 4 screws around fan and slide fan out into space that was occupied by power supply. Be sure to open the connector latch. If you pull too hard, the socket comes off the motherboard too.

Networking ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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/db/oui/index.html" 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 12.3) How do I set my hme interface to e.g. 100Mb full duplex? This applies only to Solaris 2.5 or later; hme interfaces are not supported under SunOS 4.x or earlier versions of Solaris. Sun's 10/100 network interface on the Ultra systems and on the SunSWIFT network cards are capable of negotiating with a network switch; if this is working, and if the other end is capable of 100Mb full duplex (FD) operation, the hme card will automatically set itself properly. However, this may not necessarily work with some networking gear. 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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. Thanks to Stuart Whitby ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. Electronic Mail ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/. An old, unmaintained Berkeley popd can be found at ftp://ftp.cc.berkeley.edu/pub/pop (not recommended), and Casper Dik's enhanced version 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/ Finally, the CMU Cyrus IMAP server can be used. It can be found at ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail. If a commercial package is desired, Sun's new SIMS (Solstice Internet Mail Server) supports POP3 and IMAP4. See http://www.sun.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14. Printing ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 14.1) Is there a third-party source for SPARCprinter consumables? Yes, there is. The SPARCprinter is OEM'ed by Xerox, and uses the same consumables as the Xerox 4030 laserprinter. The appropriate part numbers are: Toner-cartridge: 365-1124-01 Sun 6R281 Xerox Drum-cartridge: 365-1125-01 Sun 13R32 Xerox Fuser Lubricant/oil: 370-1371-01 Sun 94E95090 Xerox Fuser wick: 811-1687 Sun (Sun Express) These parts are available from various resellers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 14.2) How do I configure a non-postscript printer for postscript? If a ghostscript driver is available for that printer, you can use ghostscript to translate the postscript to something the printer can understand. To do this for SunOS, use the APSfilter package. APSfilter was posted to comp.sources.misc as part of volume 42, and is available from your favourite 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 ) 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 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 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 */ #include #include #include #include #ifdef FILENAME_MAX #include #include #else /* !FILENAME_MAX */ #include #include #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 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 (" ~ ", 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.

There seems to be no consensus on this issue, I got an equal amount of replies saying "it's not possible" and "yes, this is the way to do it". Since as of writing this I have not had the time to actually try and follow the suggested procedures and see the result, I quote here both types of replies. Here follows the original posting and the replies that I got (in order of appearance :-)).

Although the instructions are intended for a different final goal - creating a small rootdg - they should allow you do do what you need as well. http://www.carumba.com/talk/veritas/singleslicerootdg.shtml It looks as though you will need to take one disk completely out of Veritas, partition it, and then return just a piece of it to Veritas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paulo Fessel: It's possible to do this - here we set up rootdg in one slice of each disk we have under Solstice DiskSuite control. However, if I understood you allright, you'll have to vxevac one of the disks to take it off the DG and make it available again to Solaris. After this has been done, use one of the slices to do your memory dump (1 GB partition as you're using 1 GB RAM, right?). Then, use the remaining space of the disk as a single slice and make it available again to Veritas. In short: 1. /etc/vx/bin/vxevac -g dgname diskname 2. format 3. select 4. create slices - 1 for dump, 1 for Veritas 5. add the Veritas slice back to the DG: # vxdctl add disk type=simple (ignore WARNING - the disk is added to /etc/vx/volboot) # vxdisk -f init type=simple (initializes disk) # vxdg -g dgname adddisk (adds to dgname) # vxdctl enable (activates all modifications) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gary Chambers: VxVM requires exclusive use of any devices under its control. Have you considered using Solstice DiskSuite for mirroring the root filesystem? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pascal Grostabussiat: As far as I know this is not possible. When Veritas take over a disk it overwrites the label of the disk (eventually moves the boot-block if necessary to not loose it in case of encapsulation). There is no better granularity than disk-wise. Another point, the only reason for encapsulating the boot-disks is to mirror them. But encapsulating the boot-disks increases complexity. From my own experience, encapsulating the boot-disks with Veritas is some kind of "religion", you feel you have to do it or not. Here in Sweden the religion seems to be "encapsulate" (maybe because Veritas tells people to do it). In other european contries the religion is "no encapsulation" because not necessary and provides higher complexity. If you want to mirror the boot-disks, you could still use Solstice DiskSuite and mirror partitions/slices but not whole disks so that you could still have one or a few partitions on their own. But whatever you use the partitions/slices for, think about possible performance issues.

I also have a D1000 with 5-36GB drives and 7-9GB drives. The last 9GB drive is the only one in 'rootdg' (the rest are in '/export/home/xyz' user data disk groups). Is the following feasable (see my reasons why I want to do it this way at the end): 1. Initialize the new disk into Veritas control under rootdg with 1 (root) partition 2. Boot from CD-ROM and ufsdump each of the original disk's slices. 3. Boot into single user mode (so I have the Veritas drivers loaded) and ufsrestore each of the partitions into the newly initialized internal disk which is now under Veritas control. 4. I assume I have to do something else to make this new disk bootable? 5. Reboot into OpenBoot and boot off new disk. 6. If everything looks good, continue with the mirroring setup (initialize old disk, etc.) The reason I would like to do it this way is so that I don't have to mess around with encapsulating my root disk (so if something goes wrong, it's no big deal). Only once everything is working, will I go ahead and initialize my original disk and make it the mirror. Perhaps someone can tell me if this is possible to do? Also, on a quick sidenote: If your disk and your data are all under Veritas control, and some disaster happenes and you want to boot from a CD-ROM -- you wouldn't be able to access any of your data because there are no Veritas drivers on the CD-ROM, correct? Is there any way to get around this? (I've heard/read about custom Jumpstart -- but how about from a CD-ROM?)

In looking for a way to convert from Unix epoch time (i.e., '1048997466') to human time, I came upon the ctime() function: # man ctime ... The ctime() function converts the time pointed to by clock, representing the time in seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970), to local time in the form of a 26- character string as shown below. ... However, I obviously can't run ctime() from the command line because it's not a physical binary anywhere in my PATH: # ctime 1048997466 ctime: not found # which ctime no ctime in ...[truncated path]...

Most pointed out that print server resource requirements are pretty minimal. It is not CPU-intensive, but one needs to be rather generous on disk space and RAM. Network capacity/bandwidth may also play an important role. In some cases, people uses Ultra 1 as a print server to serve 30+ printer spools. In another case, a sparc 5 was used as print server and no major issues. As far as redundancy goes, getting two system so that the primary one has a secondary to fail over to. But if you are stuck with one system, disk mirroring should definitely be used to prevent against disk failure.

I received a few detailed responses one from Tim Chipman AFAIK, there are relatively few, informal resources that compare sparc to intel as you are seeking. typically, the "water is muddy" because it depends heavily on what the intended use of the systems are. For example, -> Database server: Lots of I/O and memory access will render CPU speed less critical ... -> Computation server (bioinformatics, etc) - less IO, tons of CPU requirements render memory/bandwidth less critical. We've got a few dual-athlon systems here "in production", one is the "head node" of a "beowulf cluster" that we use for computationally intensive (not! IO/intensive) work. The dual athlon by itself (2x1600mhz) is ~2x faster in raw CPU power than our 4x400mhz e3500, suggesting that for *this type of CPU intensive work*, 1600mhz of athlon power is approximately equal to 1600mhz of sunUltraSparcII power. The beowulf cluster operating on appropriate CPU intensive problems that are split across the cluster has ~20 ghz of CPU power and clearly outguns the e3500 by a large margin. Additionally, IMHO, if you have nice SCSI (FCAL?) subsystems for disk on your X86 hardware, you can get very reasonable disk IO performance and overall end up with very reasonable performing systems. Ultimately, I think few people would argue that you can get "more bang for your buck" with X86 hardware (as compared to Sun, HP, IBM) "big iron / single dedicated vendor" Unix implementations. The difference tends to be, - concerns over support, integration of tools onto platform? - concerns over maintenance, troubleshooting, hardware failure ? - concerns over budget (or lack thereof ? :-) So. It will all depend on what kind of use you have in mind for the gear, and how $$ influences the decision, since there are many factors in the equation. Hope this helps a bit, --Tim And another on from Jay Lessert Well, the storage is irrelevant, right? If you've got 1TB, it's SCSI or FC, probably FC, and a SPARC/Solaris box will talk to it the same as an X86/Linux box. The 2GB RAM is irrelevant, too, right? Not very much RAM, hard to find a SPARC box with a max capacity *less* than that. If you're running a single CPU-bound application with graceful memory access patterns (good locality), you should lose the second processor, and a 2.8GHz Xeon is somewhere between 1.5X and 2.0X faster than a 1.05GHz US-III. But don't waste money on the Xeon, then. Get a 3GHz P4. Cheaper and faster. And another from Ben Green It greatly depends on what application(s) you will be running. Vendors, such as Oracle, can shed some light with benchmarks. In my experience with Oracle and well laid out Hitachi/EMC SANs, a Compaq or Dell with two P4 Xeons running at 2.8 GHz will crucify Sun servers up to a V880, with Oracle tuned well in both cases. Hyperthreading is a huge gain with those processors, too. It really depends what you are going to do, but as a general rule of thumb -- the Linux box will win and will cost one half or one third of the SUN's price.

Message-ID: I think I've discovered a pretty big hole in Solaris 9 (sparc). It involves the su command and getting root access. I've duplicated the problem on three different Solaris installations, all with the most current patch clusters. Who would I contact to verify this at Sun?

Message-ID: <000201c2f9aa$4d5dbaa0$96b89a89@JULIEXUlaptop> I want setup a Redhad as jumpstart install server for solaris 9. I have a document about using redhead as jumpstart install server for solaris 8. I followed the documentation said. However, I can not do anymore at the step to copy a boot image into /tftpboot directory? Because the solaris 9 cd structure is different: There is no /Solaris_9/Tools/Boot/usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/nfs/inetboot. So, what is solaris 9 boot image which should copy into /tftpboot directory to let jumpstart client can do first network boot? The document I followed is: http://smokeping.planetmirror.com/pub/sysadm-misc/jumpstart/doc/linux.html Any comments will be appreciated Thanks in advance Julie Xu Data Communication Team Information Technology Directorate University of Western Sydney Locked Bag 1797 Penrith South DC NSW 1797 From UAdmnSUN at netscape.net Thu Apr 3 01:47:14 2003 From: UAdmnSUN at netscape.net (UAdmnSUN at netscape.net) Date: Thu Apr 3 01:47:14 2003 Subject: OT: Spaces in SSH traffic Message-ID: <20036F8E.0FD5F097.007AE1D3@netscape.net> Hi All, My appologies for asking this question here. We have a host which can send pager messages. Other hosts connect to this host via SSH to send any pager messages. We use perl-snpp to page. When we send page from the pager host no messages are sent ok (spaces between the words do not disappear). But when sent from the remote servers messages are truncated. Ex: /usr/local/bin/ssh /usr/local/bin/snpp -m "Call Me" ( user is set to go with no password) Message received is: Call (only) I believe this is happening in SSH tunnel. Any SSH gurus out there who can give me a clue.

The Hosts file was rebuilt removing the 'duff' entries and then distributed accordingly. The next step was to clear out the old emails as they could be hold out-of-date information and then stop and start the sendmail daemon to refresh it with the new data. This appears to have solved the problems. Thanks Paul Procter ============================================================================ ============= The Question was: This is probably something simple and I am probably overlooking something fundamental but here goes: We are running sendmail on Solaris 8. NIS is configured. When a message is sent the following errors are seen: SYSERR:(root):mail loops back to me (MX Problem?) sendmail [4038] hdkmsmskjakk losing ./ asdfakdjlkjhqlwe sendmail panic SYSERR:(root):sendmail:cannot save rejected mail anywhere. Has anyone seen these types of errors and can possibly give me a clus on how to fix them? Many thanks.

From yakov.lerner at kavado.com Thu Apr 3 06:04:11 2003 From: yakov.lerner at kavado.com (Yakov Lerner) Date: Thu Apr 3 06:04:11 2003 Subject: SUMMARY: mouse (and color) support for vim in xterm References: <20021203201918.21873.64302.Mailman@sunmgrs.cs> Message-ID: <3E8C13A7.7000600@kavado.com> Thanks to all those who replied, and especially to Walter Heukles: Justin Stringfellow, Joe Fletcher, Michael Auria , I figured it out with your help. The editor in question is vim in xterm box. I wanted color xterm + mouse support. /bin/vi is not capable of mouse-in-xterm support. dtterm does not seem to support mouse-in-vim. But xterm does have both color and 'mouse reporting' with proper TERM setting. The solution was to insert 'set mouse=vn' in .vimrc To get color+mouse, the solution was to copy the 'xterm-xfree86' file (or 'xterm-vt220') from /usr/local/share/terminfo/x/. to /usr/share/lib/terminfo/x/. and to set TERM to 'xterm-xfree86' (or 'xterm-vt220') (Terminfo as shipped with solaris8 does not seem to have entry with both color and mouse support).

It appears it was actually a bad DIMM. However there's a bug in the firmware such that it reports the wrong module as being faulty. Patches will follow naturally. I'm still curious as to why it was the disk traffic that provoked the error but presumably the copy operations exercised the specific location which had the fault. ------------ originally ------------------- Anyone got any ideas on this? System is a V880 fully packed patched upto 108528-18, OBP 4.7.0. It's almost certainly not an error in physical memory and we've had the DIMMs swapped out. Errors get clocked as soon as we start loading the disks. Looks to me like it might be a PCI issue but I'm open to suggestions.

As per my understanding we need to have Client (make connection) Server (accept connection) Keys and Certificates at both ends (Though the server and client certificates and keys can be same) that can be generated using software packages like openssl. Now my queries are: 1) In order for working of the same do we need to exchange the publick keys i.e our Certs if yes how these certificates are exchanged and used. 2) Do these Certificates and Keys at both the ends need to be certified by a Common-Trusted CA of both parties, so as the Verfication result is OK, i.e. the certificates are verified. 3) How is the verification of the keys/certificates done by STARTTLS. How STARTTLS and hence sendmail uses the keys and certificates to encrypt mails ? 4) Do we need to explicitly specify whether with who all we need to communicate using TLS i.e. by making entries into the access database of the form: TLS_Srv:customer.mailserver.domain TLS_Clt:customer.mailserver.domain or else the sendmail server would try to use TLS with every mail server that it communicates with and if any of the server supports TLS it will start communicating using TLS and sending encrypted mails.

In that file there is the line :0 Local local_uid at console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner +kb I checked on other Solaris 9 systems and found that I didn't have this file and infact the /usr/dt/config/Xservers file has the line: :0 Local local_uid at console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner which I assume is the default? I don't really know too much about X. However, I decided to rename /etc/dt/config/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers.old and reboot. Hey presto, keyboard is now o.k. I cannot be sure whether the Gnome installation created this or whether I did by clicking a button, but it was around the time I installed Gnome 2.

I had a couple of responses and suggestions from the following: - Casper Dik who asked if I had run the ypinit -c as the error message stated (I had and the problem persisted) - Cathy Bodenstedt who suggested taking a look at the Oracle kernel parameters Here's the action I finally took with a final suggestion from Sun Tech Support (Jose Martinez) that has apparently resolved this issue: 1) asked one of our Oracle DBA's to check the file identified in the Sunsolve article below - which he did and the entry is correct 2) stopped NIS/yp on both the master and slave 3) "destroyed" NIS on the master (after backing up - I didn't just fall of the turnip truck *S* - I deleted the /var/yp directory) 4) recreated the NIS master "ypinit -m" 5) took the same action on the slave, except used "ypinit -s " 6) the problem came back after about 8 minutes - which is when I contacted Sun 7) Jose had me redo the steps above with the same result 8) the one thing that he had me do that had not previously been done, and apparently resolved the issue was to rename the following file: /var/yp/binding/`domainname`/ypservers 9) stopped and restarted NIS (/var/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstop & /var/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart) Once I renamed the file in step 8 above and restarted NIS, the error messages stopped. A new issue was introduced that may be related to the renaming of the file when a late-night reboot of the Master showed that NIS successfully failed over to the slave, but the master also bound itself to the slave during the reboot phase. This was easily resolved by stopping the yp processes on both the master and the slave, starting them on the master - which bound itself back to itself as it should - and the restarted them on the slave - which also bound itself back to the master. A 2 minute "fix".

Setup: 2 E420R's - 1 set up as NIS Master and 1 as NIS slave/client OS - both running Solaris8 Oracle 8i - installed on NIS Master Both systems are on the same subnet Problem: Although NIS appears to be running properly and successfully, /var/adm/messages is growing extremely large with the following error message that repeats every 5 seconds: Apr 1 14:03:42 NISmaster ypbind[28563]: [ID 379826 daemon.error] service not installed, use /usr/sbin/ypinit -c The code inside the [] directly behind ypbind changes, but the ID number remains the same, as does the rest of the message. As I mentioned before, NIS appears to be running properly and all yp processes are running. I can execute a "ypcat hosts" on either system and get the map. I can run "/usr/ccs/bin/make" on the master and it pushes the maps out successfully. Things I have modified/checked include: - stopping & restarting yp (/usr/lib/netsvcyp/ypstop & ypstart) When I do this, the error message stops for approximately 10 minutes, then starts up again - editting /var/yp/Makefile and removing all references to maps that we aren't using in the NIS environment (we are only pushing out passwd, hosts, & group in this instance) - checked /etc/nsswitch.conf to ensure the proper entries were "files nis" - they are - recreating both the master & slave - cd /var/yp - ypinit -m (for master) - ypinit -s NISmaster (for the slave) - made both systems client using ypinit -c - found the following article concerning Oracle and asked one of our DBA's to check it out (he said that the recommended solution is already in place on the master): - http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?doc=finfodoc%2F18622&zone_32=ypb ind - this article addresses the following: If something (client or server side) formulates a query which that leads to it attempting to contact a non existent database, the setup is likely to send a query off to NIS/YP. It is at this stage, that the NIS/YP domainname in ypbind gets corrupt. We have another sub-net running NIS successfully and the only difference I can see between the two is that the "problem" NIS master has Oracle installed on it while the "good" NIS master doesn't. Does anyone have any ideas that I haven't mentioned above?

Message-ID: I have a sun BLADE using the smartcard for authentication.. The smartcard contains username and password information. dtlogin reads "Please insert smartcard" or something to that effect. When the smarcard is inserted it asks for a PIN, and the session is established. I also have a sunRAY 1. It is behaving differntly. I have it set to only allow registered users. I've registered one card and that portion seems to work. When i insert a card, the screen unlocks and i am presented with a "Please enter username" dtlogin screen. My question is this: ==================== Is it possible to have the sunray use card authentication the same way the blade does? I've tried adding smartcard.so.whatever_the_library_is to /etc/pam.conf for dtlogin-SunRay and dtsession-SunRay the same way it appears for the regular dtlogin and dtsession. I've loaded my sunray smartcard with the sunAUTH applet and keyed my username and password. I've done some other things that resulted in the need for a card to be present in the blade and the ray to login to either.. lol.. not sure how i did that. Anywhoo I cant seem to find any documentation on how to do this or if it is even possible but i swear i've seen it in a live demo. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you much!

Initially I want to share the contents of the 280R, utilizing cachefs as there should not be writes to the filesystem, to approximately 350 Solaris 6/8/9 machines. I can successfully mount the /local filesystem to all the machines manually. I want the remote mount points to be /usr/local/$OSREL - where OSREL is either 5.6 5.8 5.9. The following is the contents of one of the /etc/init.d/autofs scripts: #!/sbin/sh # # Copyright (c) 1993-1998 by Sun Microsystems, Inc. # All rights reserved. # #ident "@(#)autofs 1.8 01/11/27 SMI" case "$1" in 'start') /usr/lib/autofs/automountd -D OSREL=5.9 \ /dev/msglog 2>&1 /usr/sbin/automount & ;; 'stop') /sbin/umountall -F autofs /usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 automountd ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }" ;; esac exit 0 Note that 5.9 is replaced with 5.8/5.6 on the perspective machines as necessary. Here are the contents of the /etc/dfs/dfstab on the 280R: bash-2.05# cat /etc/dfs/dfstab # Place share(1M) commands here for automatic execution # on entering init state 3. # # Issue the command '/etc/init.d/nfs.server start' to run the NFS # daemon processes and the share commands, after adding the very # first entry to this file. # # share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d ""] [resource] # .e.g, # share -F nfs -o rw=engineering -d "home dirs" /export/home2 # share -F nfs -o ro -d "Local Directory" /local The machines are all running on NIS, will be migrated to LDAP later this year, and in the /var/ypsrc/auto_local file here is what I have: # cat auto_local /usr/local -fstype=cachefs,cachedir=/local-cache,backfstype=nfs newfs:/local/$OSREL The original contents of the /var/ypsrc/auto_local file were: # cat auto_local /usr/local -intr fs1:/local/$OS With /etc/init.d/autofs originally being: # Copyright (c) 1993, by Sun Microsystems, Inc. # #ident "@(#)autofs 1.4 96/08/20 SMI" killproc() { # kill the named process(es) pid=`/usr/bin/ps -e | /usr/bin/grep $1 | /usr/bin/sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ .*//'` [ "$pid" != "" ] && kill $pid } # # Start/stop automounter # case "$1" in 'start') /usr/lib/autofs/automountd -D OS=sun5\ < /dev/null > /dev/console 2>&1 # start daemon /usr/sbin/automount & # do mounts ;; 'stop') /sbin/umountall -F autofs # undo mounts killproc automoun # kill daemon ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/autofs { start | stop }" ;; esac Now the problem is that in the original configuration when users would access /usr/local they were automatically dropped into /usr/local/sun5.

"boot net" does a broadcast, and that is built into the OBP. I have to live with the rpcbind failure messages. Several people mentioned doing this on an isolated network, which is what we do when it is feasible. But when doing a live upgrade to an existing server, we can't move the server to a lab or string another network cable to the box temporarily. This is done over the network dedicated for backups, so it doesn't interfere with anything on the production networks. But since every server is on the backup network they all see and report the violation.

All our users usually make shell connections to our Solaris box. I'm wondering if there are any perl/shell scripts to: 1) check when a users passwd was last changed. I'm not sure how to query this in ldap or if it's possible. 2) force the user to change their passwd is older the x days. Something simple would be via /etc/profile. If /export/home/username/.passwd-changed is older than x days, force the user the passwd prompt or else continue with the login script. Any thoughts?

I am running Oracle Applications and it came to a point that I had to do a xhost + in order to accommodate all the different incoming connections. The real problem is that for some reason X access will go back to being enabled. Usually this would occur after a reboot, but the box has been up for several days. What I ultimately want to do is open X access wide open and have it remain that way (preferably across a reboot). What I've tried: /etc/X0.hosts root root at host /etc/init.d/runme #! /bin/sh XAUTHORITY=`ps -aef | grep '[X]sun' | sed 's/.* //'` export XAUTHORITY DISPLAY=host:0.0 export DISPLAY /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + 2>&1 | tee /runfinal.out after reboot; runfinal shows that connection refused and I think that's because of dtlogin... ~Ultimately~ if I can disable access control for the X server for *GOOD* then I am willing to take this route and I work around the implications in another manner.

Hirsch, Jay Lessert, Ken Zachmann, Darren Dunham, Bryan Moore, Ben Rockwood, and Preiszl Matthias. There were several different answers I received (see my question at the bottom of this email): 1. About half of the answers I got were to just use DiskSuite and use Veritas for the data only. 2. Use a manual cloning/mirroring script. 3. Make a copy of the original disk (to be paranoid about a problem), encapsulate, and mirror, as mentioned in the Sun Blueprints. Most people said I should not worry about encapsulation of the root disk failing since it is very reliable and it updates all the vfstab and boot stuff automatically (and its faster than my idea). This page's suggestion also seemed interesting: http://unixway.com/vm/veritasvm/rootdg.html Also, if it's set up correctly, you should be able to see your disks without the Veritas drivers. See this page: http://www.sunhelpdesk.com/users/john/Mirror-boot-disk-with-VxVM.htm What a pain in the #@! all this stuff can be...but that's why we're all Sun Managers, right? I don't know about you, but I would just like technology to work as easy and painlessly as advertised...OK OK, that's enough of my philosophical input. ORIGINAL QUESTION: -------------------------------------------------- I posted to the list a while back and I am now at the point where I have the hardware to mirror my root disk; I was just wondering what everyone's feedback is on this particular "case study" and whether my "plan" will work: I have a SunFire 280R (one primary disk NOT under Veritas control with /, /usr, /usr/local, and /var slices) and one new internal, untouched 36GB disk. I also have a D1000 with 5-36GB drives and 7-9GB drives. The last 9GB drive is the only one in 'rootdg' (the rest are in '/export/home/xyz' user data disk groups). Is the following feasable (see my reasons why I want to do it this way at the end): 1. Initialize the new disk into Veritas control under rootdg with 1 (root) partition 2. Boot from CD-ROM and ufsdump each of the original disk's slices. 3. Boot into single user mode (so I have the Veritas drivers loaded) and ufsrestore each of the partitions into the newly initialized internal disk which is now under Veritas control. 4. I assume I have to do something else to make this new disk bootable? 5. Reboot into OpenBoot and boot off new disk. 6. If everything looks good, continue with the mirroring setup (initialize old disk, etc.) The reason I would like to do it this way is so that I don't have to mess around with encapsulating my root disk (so if something goes wrong, it's no big deal). Only once everything is working, will I go ahead and initialize my original disk and make it the mirror. Perhaps someone can tell me if this is possible to do? Also, on a quick sidenote: If your disk and your data are all under Veritas control, and some disaster happenes and you want to boot from a CD-ROM -- you wouldn't be able to access any of your data because there are no Veritas drivers on the CD-ROM, correct? Is there any way to get around this? (I've heard/read about custom Jumpstart -- but how about from a CD-ROM?) -------------------------------------------------- --END TRANSMISSION-- ;-) From sun_consultant at hotmail.com Thu Apr 3 18:09:14 2003 From: sun_consultant at hotmail.com (Sun Consultant) Date: Thu Apr 3 18:09:14 2003 Subject: SUMMARY: Scanning Software for Solaris References: Message-ID: SANE seems to be the scanning software of choice: http://www.mostang.com/sane/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sun Consultant" To: "Sun Managers" Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 10:52 AM Subject: Scanning Software for Solaris > Hi-- > > Are there any good scanning software packages for Solaris? > (For use with Epson SCSI scanner) > > Thanks > _______________________________________________ > sunmanagers mailing list > sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org > http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers From UAdmnSUN at netscape.net Thu Apr 3 18:30:07 2003 From: UAdmnSUN at netscape.net (UAdmnSUN at netscape.net) Date: Thu Apr 3 18:30:07 2003 Subject: Summary:Spaces in SSH traffic Message-ID: <4EE1442A.191D9F03.007AE1D3@netscape.net> Hi, First thanks to the following: Crist Clark" Tim Chipman William Yodlowsky "Walt Sullivan" Haywood, Steven" Martynas Buozis and special thanks to "Crispin Harris" for the detailed description ( attched below). I have ended up rounding the double quotes with single quotes ('), escapeing the double quotes with \ did not help as my calling script didn't like it. Thanks UnixAdmin Crispin Harris reply: The quotes are being stripped in the multiple shells. /usr/local/bin/ssh /usr/local/bin/snpp -m '"Call Me"' or /usr/local/bin/ssh /usr/local/bin/snpp -m \"Call Me\" This is because the local shell (in which this command is executed) sees the command line and does this: (single quotes (') are used to denote the start and end of the string contained by the variables named) ARGV[0] = '/usr/local/bin/ssh' ARGV[1] = '' ARGV[2] = '' ARGV[3] = '/usr/local/bin/snpp' ARGV[4] = 'Call Me' ARGV[5] = '' The way that ssh works is that it looks for all arguments _UP_TO_ and _INCLUDING_ a hostname to define it's behaviour. It then passes all the remaining arguments to the shell on the remote end for execution. This means that on '' the a shell is executed with '' privilege with the command: /usr/local/bin/snpp Call Me The command probably needs to be: /usr/local/bin/snpp "Call Me" Somehow you need to the the double quotes through to the far end. There are two ways to do this: 1: enclose the double quotes in single quotes: '"Call Me"' this makes ARGV[4] = '"Call Me"' which thus makes the remote command: /usr/local/bin/snpp "Call Me" 2: escape the double quotes with a backslash (\). This prevents the first shell from interpreting the quotes. The arguments thus become: ARGV[0] = '/usr/local/bin/ssh' ARGV[1] = '' ARGV[2] = '' ARGV[3] = '/usr/local/bin/snpp' ARGV[4] = '"Call' ARGV[5] = 'Me"' ARGV[6] = '' The remote command is thus assembled like this: /usr/local/bin/snpp "Call Me" and the remote shell (and thus the perl script) do what you expect. You want ARGV[4] to equal '"Call Me" "Call Me" and passes it as the single variable Crispin Harris Systems Manager Thin Technologies Limited Vox: +(61) 8 9488 3000 Fax: +(61) 8 9488 3030 Mob: +(61) 413 629 298 E-mail: charris at thintechnologies.com Web: www.thintechnologies.com > -----Original Message----- > From: sunmanagers-admin at sunmanagers.org > [mailto:sunmanagers-admin at sunmanagers.org]On Behalf Of > UAdmnSUN at netscape.net > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 2:46 PM > To: sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org > Subject: OT: Spaces in SSH traffic > > > Hi All, > > My appologies for asking this question here. > We have a host which can send pager messages.

One deals with email for the domain "a.co.uk", the other for "b.co.uk." If I want to send an email from "a.co.uk" to "b.co.uk", the email goes out to our ISP and then comes back in again. But as both of these servers can see each other on our LAN it seems a bit pointless doing it this way. So, I'm looking for a way to setup the "a.co.uk" server so that when it wants to send an email to a "b.co.uk" address it sends it directly to the "b.co.uk." server. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to Sendmail so just need someone to suggest which part of the Sendmail configuration I should be looking at.

I have got a dns server , SUN E450 with two 400MHz CPU, 4G mem, no other application, dedicated for dns service, Runing bind 8.3.3 Now, it handles almost 1300 queries per second, and have used up 80% of process power of one cpu , since bind8 is single-processed and single-threaded , it can't use the two cpu at the same time, that means the server has almost used up all cpu power this machine can provide for dns service. So I had to face two choice: upgrade to bind9 or upgrade the hardware, most probably the CPU . But I recall a lot of people said that dns service needs very few cpu power , so Why a 400MHz cpu in my server can only support up to 1300 queries per second? Does anyone has got any idea, in generally , how much load could be supported with a workstation like this, or with what kind of cpu power can you handle how many load ?

The summary is also a copy of the same, but I will copy it here for completeness. First, thanks to the 56 people who responded. By far the most frequent response was to check md56 fingerprints at http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub-cgi/fileFingerprints.pl . I downloaded the md5 from http://sunsolve.sun.com/md5/md5.tar.Z . One suggestion for http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0501/Fingerprint.pdf . Another suggestion was to get and run chkrootkit from http://www.chkrootkit.org which I did first. That suggested the t0rn trojan, but that is know to atack DNS servers that this server is not running. The other suggestion that was often repeated is to reload or some conbination of remove the server from the network _now_ and boot from CDROM or remove the drive to another Solarib server and run diagnostics while the compromised drive is mounted in /a . My solution thus far is to run the chkrootkit first then check the md5 fingerprints of everything in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. If it didn't check and I didn't know what it was it got mv-ed and if it were a solaris binary, copied it from the CD. I also wrote all the md5's to a log file and cron a job that creates a file nightly and diff the two for all files in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin . And just for fun a added three lines to my .profile that do a last for root, bin and adm for my inspectin each and every time I login. I have disabled root logins except for the console adn verified that users bin and adm have the NP no password set. I have not seen any further suspicious logins. I plan to impliment the noshell script below. For anyone interested the Solaris binaries compromised were /usr/bin/du /usr/bin/ls /usr/bin/passwd /usr/bin/find /usr/bin/netstat /usr/bin/su and the replacements were exactly the same size and date as the origional.

It nowhere tells you to add the argument '%s' behind that file path, as it uses to be in all other Netscape versions so far (see .mailcap, e.g.) Well done of myself, and this on a Friday afternoon.

By far the most frequent response was to check md56 fingerprints at http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub-cgi/fileFingerprints.pl . I downloaded the md5 from http://sunsolve.sun.com/md5/md5.tar.Z . One suggestion for http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0501/Fingerprint.pdf . Another suggestion was to get and run chkrootkit from http://www.chkrootkit.org which I did first. That suggested the t0rn trojan, but that is know to atack DNS servers that this server is not running. The other suggestion that was often repeated is to reload or some conbination of remove the server from the network _now_ and boot from CDROM or remove the drive to another Solarib server and run diagnostics while the compromised drive is mounted in /a . My solution thus far is to run the chkrootkit first then check the md5 fingerprints of everything in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. If it didn't check and I didn't know what it was it got mv-ed and if it were a solaris binary, copied it from the CD. I also wrote all the md5's to a log file and cron a job that creates a file nightly and diff the two for all files in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin . And just for fun a added three lines to my .profile that do a last for root, bin and adm for my inspectin each and every time I login. I have disabled root logins except for the console adn verified that users bin and adm have the NP no password set. I have not seen any further suspicious logins. I plan to impliment the noshell script below. For anyone interested the Solaris binaries compromised were /usr/bin/du /usr/bin/ls /usr/bin/passwd /usr/bin/find /usr/bin/netstat /usr/bin/su and the replacements were exactly the same size and date as the origional.

So far it's working perfectly! Xvfb uses shared memory to create a virtual frame buffer to (for example) DISPLAY=:1.0 Because of this I wonder if at some point I'll have to increase shared memory segments, I guess we'll see. Sincere thanks to the following who suggested Xvfb: David Foster Jonathan Burelbach Robert N Wood Matthew Stier Other suggestions: VNC Server www.realvnc.com: "Vandevegt, James Matthew (Jim)" "Roetman, Paul" dtautologin: "Heilke, Rainer" ORIGINAL QUESTION: SunGods, I have a requirement to automate a process upon startup (probably a script in rc3.d) that will do: xhost + su - appluser -c "export DISPLAY=satori:0.0;xhost +;/usr/dt/dtterm" (I know, I know...X security...) Or perhaps I need to do something else....the goal is to allow an application that runs via cron can open a dtterm session which it needs & uses without manual intervention. If this workstation gets rebooted, etc. the job always fails unless someone manually logs in as the application user and opens a dtterm & does the export DISPLAY, xhost, etc. I can't seem to get this set via startup scripts...it complains with: Xlib: connection to "satori:0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key xhost: unable to open display "satori:0.0" Is the problem because the workstation goes to CDE login screen & cannot be 'sent' a dtterm until it's actually logged in?

However problem persists. I have been with this problem for over three weeks now. I roamed the Internet, SUN solve web site, news groups, in vain. I have sent to your group as a last resort. p.s.This is my first experience ever with SUN, I am migrating from Linux on X86 and PPC. In summery; The E250 starts, and freezes on the OK prompt, whether normal or testing, or locked. The keyboard does not respond. It does not respond also from the hyper terminal via PC. No key strokes can do anything. I hoped that reading the long analysis can give a hint on something defective in the hardware. That is why I included it in the previous message. I am sorry I did not clear that at first. This is what I did: 1. From the PC, I used two different laptops, and upgraded hyper terminal to private edition, after removing the GFX card. Then connected to serial A using null modem, still keyboard strokes do not work. 2. From E250, I used three different functioning keyboards, after adding the Raptor GFX. still keyboard strokes do not work. 3. Shut down, removed HDD's, CPU's, RAM chips and put them back again. still keyboard strokes do not work. 4. Removed the RCS card /disconnected it. then used hyper term. still keyboard strokes do not work. 5. Used a SUN monitor. 6. Because there is no OS installed, the 4 HDD's are useless when it comes to key strokes. However, I removed them, and tried without them, and with them. still keyboard strokes do not work. 7. I downloaded the SUN E250 white paper from SUN Solve, and in details followed the hardware map, made sure jumpers are setup right. No results. 8. I purchased an official copy of Solaris 8 , 10/2000. tried to boot from any of the CD's with the start up, whether CD 1 of 2, or Installation, or flash PROM. CD blinks 7 times, but no boot. and still keyboard strokes do not work. 9. I purchased a DVD SCSI, and an official copy of Solaris 9 on DVD. I added it to the E250, start up, also DVD blinks 7 times, but no installation picks up. Still, keyboards from hyper term on PC or SUN cannot work at all. As if they are not there. Any ideas? what am I doing wrong?

But a minor (...) side-effect is that the menu labels do not display anymore. So I simply edited the startup script "/opt/staroffice6.0/program/soffice" and modified the setting of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the "case" statement (around line 144). Just before the line(s) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH I included the following line to remove the directory /usr/sfw/lib (containing the nasty libXrender library) from the variable contents: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH|sed -e 's/\/usr\/sfw\/lib//g'` export LD_LIBRARY_PATH That's all. Everything is working fine from then on. We have NOT applied the patch from SunSolve yet, waiting to see if I get other problems with the native version. By the way, this patch 112885-03 is listed to apply on Sol-7 and Sol-8, nothing said about Sol-9. So cross our fingers and wait&see. Regards to this spectacular group of gurus!

Is that a problem for Veritas!? We have a SUN call open but have not gotten a reasonable response about the cause; rather a "please reboot to get machine in a consistent state" sort of advice. If you can help or need more info please contact me!

The best answer I found was to modify the ~/.gnomerc which was not present in the account to add the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and $PATH to it. That should convince Gnome to see what I want it to see. The other good ideas were to use my $LDFLAGS variable to set the -L and -R directorys for linking and runtime libraries, and then recompile the software I want to add to the menu. Another was to copy or link the .bash_profile I was using to ~/.bashrc to be sure that bash was correctly reading my environment.

I ended up placing a service call with SUN. There will be two options in the future that fix this problem. Both options require SUN ONE Directory server 5.1 1) Sun is testing patch. The patch number is T108993-16 and it's a backport of the Solaris 9 LDAP client. Which will support passwd aging. 2) Sun is testing and might be releasing a windows password sync program for DS 5.1. This might work for me.

Once again I try to find someone having a solution for my problem. It's a Java related problem, but on the OS-site, I guess. We are running let's say a Solaris7 workgroup server and some SuSE Linux clients. Both sites have a German keyboard layout and locale. If you login directly into the server all keymappings work fine, especially those with the AltGr-key. If you login via OpenSSH_3.4p1 from one of the Linux clients the AltGr-key doesn't work in Java-Swing. Since you need it to produce charakters like "@", "[", "]", "{" or "}" it's quite an anoying problem. Alt-Gr works in the shell, with X-Apps and with Java-AWT, but not with Java-Swing. And it doesn't matter if you use java1.2 or java1.4.0 or java1.4.1 - that's what I tried. OpenSSH_3.4p1 runs on boths sides - at one as server, at the other as client. I suppose it has something todo with the "pseudo X-Server" ssh creates when using x-forwarding and that there is no OpenWindows environment. I nobody knows anything it would be at least satisfying, if someone else is experiencing the same problem. Martin.

The system has two 450 MHz cpu modules, two 256M memory modules, and two 9G drives. When I first powered up the system, it offered many "Red State Exceptions" to me. No problem, I've seen this before on a Netra 1125 which had a CPU problem. So I yank out one of the two CPU modules and power her back up. I get the same error. Ok, I think, it must be the other CPU. So I yank out CPU 2, replacing CPU 1. No go, I get the same error. At this point I've come to the end of my experience with "red state exceptions." I google the problem, searching for help. There is not much out there, and the majority of it is related to CPU. Not wanting to believe I have two bad CPU modules, I hunt down and locate a third 450MHz module and drop it in the box. Unfortunately, as you may have guessed, this did not work either. Now I'm frustrated because the problem is not readily apparent. Luckily, I have another u60 box that is down due to power problems. I borrow the motherboard from the machine, installing it into the broken u60. I populate it with working CPUs from the powerless u60 and power it up and I get the same error. Ok, I think to myself, it is either the power unit or the SCSI backplane. I unplug the SCSI backplane and all of the miscellaneous front end wiring from the motherboard except power switch and related functions. Upon powering it up, I get the same exact error. Here is the error itself: RED State Exception TL=0000.0000.0000.0005 TT=0000.0000.0000.0064 TPC=0000.0000.efff.f9e4 TnPC=0000.0000.efff.f9e8 TSTATE=0000.0044.5604.1400 TL=0000.0000.0000.0004 TT=0000.0000.0000.0064 TPC=0000.0000.efff.f9e4 TnPC=0000.0000.efff.f9e8 TSTATE=0000.0044.5604.1400 TL=0000.0000.0000.0003 TT=0000.0000.0000.0064 TPC=0000.0000.efff.f9e4 TnPC=0000.0000.efff.f9e8 TSTATE=0000.0044.5604.1400 TL=0000.0000.0000.0002 TT=0000.0000.0000.0064 TPC=0000.0000.efff.e334 TnPC=0000.0000.efff.e338 TSTATE=0000.0044.5604.1400 TL=0000.0000.0000.0001 TT=0000.0000.0000.0064 TPC=0000.0000.efff.e764 TnPC=0000.0000.efff.e768 TSTATE=0000.0044.5600.0400 [rinse .. repeat] By this point, I am convinced the problem is the power unit, but I an interested in hearing your opinions about this as well.

Our primary application is dealing with large images (100-300 Mbyte) which are read/written sequentially. We were initially quoted a box with 2 Raid controllers -- which seems like major overkill (higher availability isn't some we want to pay for, space is). Any opinions about the performance issues for RAID versus JBOD? Also opinions about getting an ultra-160 controller versus the ultra scsi in the 220R now. In suns documentation, they discuss (briefly) having 2 hosts connected to it. Any experience in how well this works? Can the same disks be mounted on two hosts and some intermediary (I guess the raid controller) maintains consistency? marty mleisner at eng.mc.xerox.com Don't confuse education with schooling.

Message-ID: <200304072124.PAA05343@goose.ast.lmco.com> I'm using the "gettemp" program to monitor/notify - this is available at: http://www.komar.org/ -> Misc. Tech Stuff -> gettemp (disclaimer: I wrote it! ;-) which basically uses the "prtdiag" command to get temperature info. This is available on a number of machines, and is VERY handy to keep an eye not only on the ambient (or close to ambient) temperatures, but also CPU/etc. temperatures and auto-notify on overheats. We've used this for years and it works pretty darn well; even though the code is kinda ugly. I have some spanking new V120's (nice boxes) that I have loaded Solaris2.9 on and also added the LOM package.. The "prtdiag" command does NOT appear to return any temperature info (even with the -v option), but if one does a "lom -t", you get some data. So obviousely it *IS* available from a hardware point of view; but it would sure be nice if the prtdiag command returned it. I have done some misc. searching, but have not come across a patch or option for "prtdiag" ... has anyone else and/or if someone from Sun is lurking, this would be a REALLY NICE PATCH! ;-) Thanx, alek From msg_2222 at yahoo.com Mon Apr 7 17:47:07 2003 From: msg_2222 at yahoo.com (Rick Y) Date: Mon Apr 7 17:47:07 2003 Subject: libgcc_s.so.1 question Message-ID: <20030407214652.63772.qmail@web20701.mail.yahoo.com> solaris 5.8: My5.8% which gcc /usr/local/bin/gcc # find / -name libgcc_s.so.1 -print # Got this error: ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory Yahoo!

If you had say 4 disks, two active w/2 mirrors. /weblogs is mounted from active disk 2 and for some reason it is offline. what you have now is just the /weblogs mount point, w/ no disk mounted under it. The app is stupid, it just writes to where it is told, which is /weblogs, which in this scenario is just the mount point w/ no underlying disk. if /weblogs was full, then effectively / is full. just as if /home was not a separate file system and a user was to fill it up, then again, w/o quotas enabled, they have filled /. i have not seen this scenario w/ a fs created on rootdg, but have seen it when a datadg mount that we had lost the disk, the app just kept writting to /mountpoint till it ran us out of space. /tmp eventually runs out of space because it is effectively part of / and you have a down system, reboot clears /tmp - you login and clean space. an unusual scenario for sure, but as you know in this business the unusual is the norm. one other item to chk is that if / is still unusually full, then you may have /weblogs mounted over the data still written under /weblogs the mount point.

Basically I need a ntp.conf for the clusters and the apps servers that... uses onsite timserver as primary, falls back to one of the apps servers should this fail. It has to be one of the apps servers, because cluster nodes cannot be configured as NTP servers.

Message-ID: Thanks goes to the following for suggestions, help, and answers/ Rich Kulawiec Crist Clark Frank Velazquez Mike Myers Dave Plummer Thanks for all the quick replies. The ufsdump/restore is working for me now... no errors yet! The general consensus was was that my backup line was good. Though two recommendations seemed like a good idea. 1. Mount the bad disk as read only, which saves me from going around to everyone(all 4 of us now days) "Don't use this partition! 2. I can just use the symbolic names, instead of the /dev/dsk/c1t9d0s0 name. This was helpful as I seemed to get a number of replies saying I SHOULD use rdsk(raw device), and others that said I should NOT use rdsk. I figure if the symbolic name works fine, it will be smart enough to use the correct one. So the following commands will work 1. locally ufsdump 0f - /baddisk | (cd /newdisk; ufsrestore rf - ) 2. Or remotely ufsdump 0f - /baddisk | rsh remote-machine 'cd /newdisk; ufsrestore -rf -' Thanks for the speedy replies -grant -----Original Message----- From: Schoep, Grant @ STORM Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 10:20 AM To: 'sunmanagers at sunmanagers.org' Subject: tape failed, disk failed. how to ufsdump/restore via pipes?

But almost everytime I do a boot -r (reconfigure), on the box, the OS sometimes decideds to increment the device in /dev/rmt. Meaning. Just yestereday it was /dev/rmt/5, now after a boot -r, it is /dev/rmt/6. Its done this before which is why I was up to 5 to begine with. So. Other than the drive going bad, is there away I can make it NOT do this? Or at least make it reset back down to 1? I was thinking I could probably boot to single user mode, remove the contents of /dev/rmt, and then do a touch reconfigure, or boot -r from Openboot to rebuild the tree from scratch. Will that work?

He was the ONLY person to comment. I opened a case with Sun since what was actually happening was that the mouse problem would only occur after openwindows had been running for some amount of time. So things might LOOK fixed but... Sun tried a couple of things including a patch (113616-01) which changed the problem. Now, it acts like it is missing mouse-ups. I.e. click on a close (x) box and until you move the mouse, even a tiny bit, it just stays 'pushed' but nothing happens. Sun tried some other stuff on that including changing the SunPCI card. Nothing seems to help. Interestingly, it DOESN'T happen when running under CDE. So we're going to leave it at that - the problem is pretty much innocuous and I can live with it until I convert to CDE eventually. Thanks. Bob Original message was: ----------------------------- I've installed a SUNpci II pro card in my Sunblade 1000 running Solaris 8, installed Windows XP and SP1 on it, upgraded the Sunpci software to 2.3.2 and run the update drivers script. I'm running it to a window on the SunBlade. The problem is the mouse. Clicks seem to act in ways that are non- obvious. For example, a single click (not click and hold, just a simple click) on the background acts like I'm clicking and holding. I.e. if I click once and then move the mouse it starts making rectangles. Similarly if I click on something (single) and move the mouse it starts to move the object around. Various other bizarre behavior in trying to get single clicks on some buttons to do anything and double clicks seem to require furious clicking to get to work. I've checked various places in the Windows control panels that might actually CAUSE this - there's an option that actually does that - sticky clicks or something - but it's turned off. I even tried turning it on and it oddly made NO difference.... Also, once the pc is booted up to windows the 'attach mouse' key/menu option seems to have no effect. As in nothing happens or changes when you select it or hit the meta-M. Ideas anyone?

Thanks go to Hendrik Visage, Wolf Schaefer and Roger Leonard for pointing me in the correct direction on this one. The Linux NFS server seems to be falsely advertising the NFS protocols it supports: # rpcinfo -p madmax | grep nfs 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs 100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs 100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs I think the automounter tries using NFSv3 tcp and I guess the manual mount command is smart enough to fall back on (or it defaults to) one of the udp versions. I found that if I tried to manually mount the filesystem with either version of NFS with `-o proto=tcp', the Linux server was unable to handle the request. I added a `proto=udp' option to the relevant entry in my auto.map file, and now it works. In hindsight, I should've realized it was something like this. I used to have a very similar problem with using Linux as an NFS server for diskless NetBSD/vax clients a number of years ago. It hadn't occurred to me that Linux would /still/ be broken in this way. Thanks for all the quick replies. -brian.

I have install the jumbo patch 101508-15 and 101592-09 and replaced the memory SIMMS number of times in various machines but I am still getting the fault. Initially I use to get Watchdog error and I installed the patch 101508-15 and 101592-09 for that and since than I never had a watchdog reset. But async memory fault is still a big problem. Can some one get me out this jigsaw.

(scsi bus resets ?). all help will be greatly appreciated. i have also checked the "Independent controller module to two hosts" configuration but in this way i loose the redundacy of the A3500 controllers and this is not very good for my situation. thank you for your time!

Problem Solution Problem is due to the fact that the symbol "max_ce_err" was deleted from the kernel with the 108528-16 patch. Workaround: Install patch 113689 from http://sunsolve.sun.com Run with kernel patch 108528-15 Do not run pmemtest with 108528-16 or later." I solved the problem by 1) updating to SUNWvts 5.1 and its associated packages 2) Installing patch 1113689-10 This summary was a little delayed while I registered with sunsolve to get this non-public patch. I suppose if you don't have a support contract you would be obliged either not to run pmemtest (still leaves another memory test available) or backout to a a kernel patchlevel < 108528-16 Thanks also to Joe Fletcher for reminding me that you need to do cat /etc/release in order to get the version number, e.g: $ cat /etc/release Solaris 8 10/01 s28s_u6wos_08a SPARC Copyright 2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Assembled 12 September 2001 and to David M. Dennis for helpful input about RAM. Please forgive me if I've missed anyone out, I've been collecting emails on a succession of different machines. My original query: In the spirit of hope triumphing over experience, I just wanted to ask if anyone can see a reason not to call the Sun Doctor (the machine is on Silver Service) after a stop a few seconds into a run of SunVtS with this error: 04/03/03 15:36:05 server SunVTS4.5: VTSID 8004 pmemtest. FATAL mem: "Unable to read pointer to memlist structure." uname -a# SunOS server 5.8 Generic_108528-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 SunVTS version 4.5. Sun's own docs do seem to tell you to call them out, but I was just hoping someone knows a reason why the error might be in ... er ... error. Machine has up-to-date OBP, and is giving no signs of trouble, logs are void of doom-laden messages. However, since it's done very little work recently except fit its own recommended patch set, am I inviting trouble by doing nothing if I should need it soon?

The things that will help me is using PATH variable inside .profile, and a good idea is using a script to select which log to view.

I have a Solaris machine (running 5.8 and the latest x86 Recommended from sunsite). In it I have my /etc/resolv.conf looking like this. domain domain.com search domain.com search my.domain.com nameserver 10.10.10.2 nameserver 43.62.x.4 nameserver 10.10.10.3 nameserver 43.62.x.5 What's weird is that I can only resolve my private side stuff. I have two private side DNS servers that only host the internal domain. They do NOT cache root servers. So I also have some public side DNS servers to resolve internet address. I can swap the private and public ip positions in the file and then I CAN get to the public side (i.e. I can resolve internet address all day long), but I CAN'T resolve private side then. I have been under the impression that when a query fails on a server it will move to query the next server in line. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and if so have ever found a fix. I've not attempted a real extensive search on the web for such a problem. So I might come up with it yet, but I thought I'd check with the community here. Idunno maybe a patch in the cluster did something? Thanks in advance for any help.
