[osol-discuss] Can not use my own Solaris Express repository

[Willi Burmeister]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the Solaris 11 express repository in my local
network without success. Here what I have done:

Depot server

- Updated to Solaris 11 express by hand

  % head -1 /etc/release
  Oracle Solaris 11 Express snv_151a X86

- created a new filesystem and made a copy of the iso image

  # zfs create -o mountpoint=/export/pkg zpool1/pkg
  # zfs set atime=off zpool1/pkg
  # rsync -aP /mnt/repo /export/pkg

- created a new depot server

  # svccfg -s svc:/application/pkg/server add mirror
  # svccfg -s pkg/server:mirror addpg pkg application
  # svccfg -s pkg/server:mirror addpg start method
  # svccfg -s pkg/server:mirror setprop pkg/inst_root=/export/pkg/repo
  # svccfg -s pkg/server:mirror setprop pkg/port = 1
  # svccfg -s pkg/server:mirror setprop pkg/readonly=true

  # svcadm refresh application/pkg/server:mirror
  # svcadm enable  application/pkg/server:mirror

I'm able to connect my browser to the repository and it tells me

  This repository serves a copy of the Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11 
  Package repository. Information about packages is not available when the.
  server is operating in mirror mode.

So this part of the installation seems to be ok

Client system

- Updated to OpenSolaris 134b by hand

  % head -1 /etc/release
 OpenSolaris 2010.05 snv_134b X86

- tried to change the publisher

  # pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org
  # pkg set-publisher --non-sticky extra

  this worked ok, but

  # pkg set-publisher -P -g http://myserver:1/  solaris

  just gives me

pkg set-publisher: Could not refresh the catalog for solaris

  The repo README tells us to use:

  # pkg set-publisher -O http://myserver:1/  solaris

  but this gives the same error message

  # pkg publisher
  PUBLISHERTYPE STATUS   URI
  opensolaris.org (non-sticky, preferred) origin  online   
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
  extra   (non-sticky) origin   online   
https://pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra/


Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Willi

Yes, I'm seeing the same. At the point it has lost its mojo (:-) what's in the 
/var/ldap/ldap_client_file and is your nsswitch.conf what it should be or has 
something changed them?

FWIW just re-running the ldapclient command (with flags) fixes things. I have a 
shell script that calls it with all our local values in, which makes things a 
little easier.

[osol-discuss] Solaris 11 Express release cycle and beyond?

[Ivan Wang]

Ok, S11 Express finally got out.

Is there any information on how the Express train will be going forward? like 
planned release cycle and whether it will be continued after official S11 
launches?

I still would like to stay with S11 express since I am not use it in any 
business or production. I didn't see release schedule from openinidiana.org 
either :(

Of course Oracle is tight lipped, just hoping these questions not fall into 
"classified" category..

Thanks

[osol-discuss] Amnesiac LDAP Configuration

[Patrick O'Sullivan]

I've gotten a config working where I have Kerberos auth to AD and
passwd lookups via LDAP to AD. I enable it, and it works fine, but on
a reboot, it stops working. Please let me know if you have any
thoughts as to why this happens. (This behavior is common to both
oi147 and Solaris 11 Express.)

Configuring ldapclient:

$ sudo ldapclient -v manual -a credentialLevel=self -a
authenticationMethod=sasl/gssapi -a defaultSearchBase=dc=osulvn,dc=net
-a domainName=osulvn.net -a defaultServerList=ad1.osulvn.net -a
attributeMap=passwd:gecos=cn -a
attributeMap=passwd:homedirectory=unixHomeDirectory -a
objectClassMap=group:posixGroup=group -a
objectClassMap=passwd:posixAccount=user -a
objectClassMap=shadow:shadowAccount=user -a
serviceSearchDescriptor=passwd:cn=users,dc=osulvn,dc=net?one -a
serviceSearchDescriptor=group:cn=users,dc=osulvn,dc=net?one
...
System successfully configured
$ getent passwd userfoo
userfoo:x:20002:3:User Foo:/home/userfoo:/bin/bash

At this point I can login as userfoo with GSSAPI auth over ssh or with
a password on the console.

After I reboot, I can no longer login as userfoo and 'getent' returns nothing.

I have the following log:

Nov 17 21:29:29 oitest1 svc.startd[51]: [ID 293258 daemon.warning]
libsldap: Status: 2  Mesg: Unable to load configuration
'/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' ('').
Nov 17 21:29:47 oitest1 svc.startd[9]: [ID 293258 daemon.warning]
libsldap: Status: 2  Mesg: Unable to load configuration
'/var/ldap/ldap_client_file' ('').

ldapclient isn't running:

$ svcs -xv ldap/client:default
svc:/network/ldap/client:default (LDAP client)
 State: disabled since November 17, 2010 09:29:49 PM EST
Reason: Temporarily disabled by an administrator.
   See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-1S
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ldap_cachemgr
Impact: This service is not running.

Manually enabling it doesn't help matters:

$ sudo svcadm enable ldap/client:default
$ svcs -xv ldap/client:default
svc:/network/ldap/client:default (LDAP client)
 State: online since November 17, 2010 09:35:40 PM EST
   See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M ldap_cachemgr
   See: /var/svc/log/network-ldap-client:default.log
Impact: None.
$ getent passwd userfoo
$

Why does it work before reboot but then loses its mojo when I reboot?

And from Dave, you can take that as gospel! (Couldn't help myself there ...
)
On a serious note though, if you're using ^Solaris (or any OS for that
matter); become close friends with auto-installs (AI, jumpstart, kickstart,
et al). That and configuration management are the foundation of good
sysadmins.

That is the recommendation, whether you're using GUI or text installer. 
 Make the target available in the booted environment and it should be 
seen by the installer.

If you mean remove the packages providing that software:
pkg uninstall 

If you mean just stop the services from running:
svcadm disable

svcadm disable gdm
inittab is pretty much obsolete now.

pkg image-update, though there are no more updates being published

Re: [osol-discuss] Old Versions

[Miguel Garcia]

Thanks,
Dont seem very intuitive... because looking to snv_ we don't have a clue 
of which release we are talking. If you look to a NVD entry I notice 
that ( http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2008-5010 ), 
and it is possible that Oracle/Sun made the submissions as a vendor of 
the products.


There is anyway to see the releases affected in some Oracle security 
advisory ?

All bugs fixed in snv_01...snv_86 are fixed in 2008.05.
Bugs that were reported in snv_85 or earlier may or may not affect 2008.05,
since they might have been fixed in snv_86 or might be fixed later than that
(or not yet fixed at all).

There were other releases prior to 2008.05, like Solaris Express Developer

2008.11 snv_101 ( 86<   snv<=101 )
2009.06 snv_111 (101<   snv<=111)
2010.11 snv_151 =>   Solaris 11 Express, as Ken Mays said, so 2009.06 was
Oracle Solaris 10? At least should be because what you said.

No, Oracle Solaris 10 is a different product line.   "snv" is short for
"Solaris Nevada", the code name for the OS product line based on the 5.11
kernel.   Solaris 10 is the product line based on the 5.10 kernel.

Re: [osol-discuss] solaris 11 express and xvm

[Joe Bonasera]

Bruno,

I run windows as a VirtualBox guest on a Solaris 11 Express server.

VirtualBox is pretty flexible about what it can use for virtual
disk drives, so you can even configure it to directly use a
zvol or just create a new zfs file system to hold the disk images.
There aren't Solaris specific examples of that in the
VirtualBox documentation, but it's not too hard to figure out.

Lastest stuff available at www.virtualbox.org

I think I tried that, but gdm still treated my "\" key as a "<".

I suspect you will find that restarting your X session (either by 
logging out manually or by restarting gdm to force a logout) would also 
work without rebooting.


I logged

this issue.

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/  (One of the FAQs points there.)

Note that the way to set the keyboard mappings changed a bit:

Hi,

 I assume they would much prefer a bug report:
  http://bugs.opensolaris.org/

Since they really don't want issues and questions that pertains to sol 11 ex to 
be posted at these forums. 

Article:
"I hesitate writing this entry, because no good can come of it. But I want you 
to grasp the new reality.

This is mail that just came across the OpenSolaris Security list:

Oracle's plans for features in future releases of Solaris are unlikely to be 
communicated here.

Please contact Oracle via your normal support/sales channels.

WOW! Talk about slamming the door on the fingers. Not even the courtesy of a BS 
response like "Good idea" or "Unlikely due to its current state" or 
something just slams the door. I'm amazed and saddened."

[osol-discuss] Where do I post a problem/bug report on Solaris 11 express?

[Pablo León]

Hi

Just upgraded from b134 to Sol11xp.

And my Spanish keyboard mapping is a mess. It was OK on b134 and is a mess on 
OpenIndiana (oi_147) too.

No support contract (pretty obvious).

Where a I can tell Solaris developers what is wrong?

I'm not paying, but they wanna know what's wrong in the product for sure.

Re: [osol-discuss] solaris 11 express and xvm

[Bruno Damour]

Yes, hence my surprise to find dom0 x64 support in Solaris 11 Express.

Anyway, even w/ issues, that is the only solution for me to upgrade, and that 
is a good surprise.

I use a couple of HVM (windows) guests on my home server (ow a windows 2008r2 
test AD controller) installed on zvols and it has been very satisfactory with 
snv_134 so far.
I can't see any other solution who would let me use full zfs power and still 
have my windows guests running on the same machine. 
ESXi wouldn't allow passthrough to a (open)solaris guest afaik.

Any comments welcome.

Yes, the xVM packages are still present in 2010.11 although there are
known issues with them.  And though the packages are there and I can't
speak to the dom0 roadmap, I should point out the following approved
ARC case from earlier this year

PSARC/2010/250  EOF of Solaris xVM dom0
closed approved fast-track 07/07/2010

(from http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2010/)

domU support is available in 2010.11, both in PV and in HVM mode.
