Re: [osol-help] Need help with virtualbox 3D Acceleration on OSOL B132
Well , after reading the documentation again I realised that this 3D experimental feature probably only works with 32bit winXP and 32bit Vista. I triead a 32bit xp guest but the vbox additions caused it to crash. On 32 bit vista business version i did get the 3D Acceleration to work. However the Vista performance assement tool does not work with the vbox guest additions installed. the 3D screensavers work though. //Lars -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
[osol-help] Need help with virtualbox 3D Acceleration on OSOL B132
Hi, I am trying to get VirtualBOx 3D acceleration to work on OSOL B132 with VBox 3.1.4 Beta2 . The PC is the Shuttle SN78SH7 barebone with the AMD Phenom II 965 with 4 GB RAM and the PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 graphics card. I tried VBox 3.1.2 first but did not get it to work so I swithed to 3.1.4 Beta2 First, I have fixed an Issue with OSOL B132. this one: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa ... &tstart=15 there is a problem with the symlink to an OPENGL library. This error has been corrected. with virtualbox I have tried the following: 1) Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. with IO-APIC 2 vCPU with AMD-v and Nested paging. Installed guest additions in windos safe Mode. The Windows performance assesment gives just the value 1.0 for graphics performance. ( i.e. the lowest possible rating ) 2) installed Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. with IO-APIC 1 vCPU with AMD-v and Nested paging. Installed guest additions in windos safe Mode. The Windows performance assesment run crashes, and the whole virtual machine chrashes and Aborts. What do you reccomend that I do Now ? //Lars -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

[osol-help] 10k rpm WD sata disk is not visible after B122
Hi, I have a Shuttle SN27P2 chassie with the Nvidia MCP 55 chipset and the Athlon 64 X2 CPU, see the Path_to_inst file from B122 below. When I try to install B123 or B124 using either SXCE or OpenSolaris the kernel does'nt see the boot disk which happens to be a 10Krpm WD raptor SATA disk. Did something happen to the nv_sata driver in B123 ? When I try to boot a B123 install CD the SATA disk is not visible from the kernel a boot to single user shell on the SXCE install DVD and fireing up "format" proves that the system disk is not enumerated.

Re: [osol-help] Boot Disk question
> > Why would Solaris look for the device in the old > location? Is this configured > somewhere? Yes , its configured in/etc/vfstaband in /etc/path_to_inst and its depentent on you having a USB soultion thats usable. Its is possible to boot from USB as I have booted the the older Indiana Preview from USB thanks to instrunctions in Dave Miners blog. This is probably not a bug. Solaris is not designed to be able to move a system configured for SATA to boot via USB. it would be a request for enhancment in that case. One possibility that might work is to do an upgrade install on the disk once its moved , hovewer I have not tried to do that. //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

The way the libraries usually are structured is that libxxx-yy.so is a a symbolic link to libxxx-yy.so.version when you compile a package you should make sure that the library names it is runtime linked to is the libxxx-yy.so without the final version specifier. The binary will then be able to work even if the final version number changes with a patch or upgrade of Solaris. if your present solaris installation have a "libldap-2.3.so.1" or "libldap-2.3.so.2" you can just symlink libldap-2.3.so.0 to the present version. If your present ldap library is not libldap-2.3 but libldap-2.4 or something else you probably need to recompile Apache /php to make sure that the subroutine calls are all inplace. //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

The cheap home-ADSL-routers do not have enough configurability for a complete DCHP-DNS integrated setup. two possibilities exists for DNS-DHCP integration . 1 ) Microsoft active directory DHCP and DNS ( this is probably not what we want to build as Solaris hackers ) 2 ) ISC BIND ( DNS ) + ISC DCHP ISC BIND is already included in Solaris , However SUN is shipping their own DHCP server so the integration between DNS and DCHP is probably not that good. http://www.isc.org/index.pl So the ADSL Router can possible be configured to Always offer the same IP adress to specific MAC addresses from a Specific NIC, and therefore ensure that a PC always recives the same IP Adress. But the ADSL Router cant ship this info off to a DNS server so that the IPadress gets associated with a name. You can ofcourse build a DNS service with Static content. which will work with the ADSL-ROuters Static list of preconfigured MAC_to _IP DHCP service. However only the two case above will work with dynamically distributed IP adresses. //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] ZFS problem mirror
ZFS does turn on the ON-DISK write Cache when you give the whole drive to the ZPOOL ( c5d0 & c7d0 are whole drives ) This ofcourse means that writes to the pool is faster , Do you believe that the on-disk caches have any issues on your hardware ? If You give ZFS a Partition on the disk it wont turn on the write cache. say you restore the the partition table with fdisk(1m) and then format(1m) and finally give ZFS partition c5d0s0 and c7d0s0 you will have a slower ZFS without write cache. if thats stable you have found the problem :-( This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Yes , Veritas and Solaris Volume manager and ZFSis software RAID 0/1/5 whatever . LSI and Mylex is not software Raid. Nvidia and ATI is someplace in between.

From a security viewpoint you are quadrupling the Attack area on the system . Routing will be a nightmare.

Re: [osol-help] OpenSolaris install loses Solaris 10
Hi If you have managed to install OpenSolaris in another BIOS partition of your PC You need to select the correct BIOS partition where Solaris 10 lives as the Active partition when booting. This is usually achived by editing the GRUB menu in /boot/grub/menu.lst and supplying the correct parameters , instructiions in the file , to boot the alternative partition. the /dev/rdsk/cXdXsXsyntax only gives access to disk SLICES within the Active BIOS partition. Another way of doing this is to install the FreeBSD bootloader onto the MBR of the disk which lets you select at boot time which Partition too set Active and boot. //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] network priviledge
Hi, Solaris has the "Role Based Access Control " ( RBAC ) system for allowing users access to admin functions , base on the role the user is assigned. there is four (4) shell-level commands that can be used to run commands with the elevated access permission. pfexec pfsh pfcshpfksh The standard shell's does not act upon the RBAC profile in /etc/user_attr You can also make additional Role-accountssimilar to the root- role in OpenSolaris. Create a role-account "netadm" give this account the "network-management" profile and assign the role to the intended useraccounts so that they can "su" to the "netadm" role.

Seagate have http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools/ which is a "live CD " that boots to DOS and runs tests on the diskdrives. the P5KR seems to have SATA ports directly on the southbridge, and on an additional JMicron device.

Re: [osol-help] how to connect to internet ?
Hi, The number of usable NIC's is higer on OpenSolaris than on Solaris 10. Solaris 10 comes with supportcontracts and problems are solved with patches you apply which is great in production environments. OpenSolaris is always ( as yet )development snapshots of the codebase at a given point in time. There is no patches. Solving a problem is done by Upgrading or Reinstalling a later Development snapshot , which is called a Build level . Will this solve you present problem with the NIC ? Maybe but probably not. The NUmber of interesting combination's of networking chips on motherboards out of Taiwan is a marvel to behold. Its probably less frustrating to get hold of a few of these and move them to the PC one uses for the time being. http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000gt_desktop_adapter.htm http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000pt_desktop_adapter.htm This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] how to connect to internet ?
Well unfortunately the implementataion of ethernet Hardware varies too widely. And even if Solaris 10 5/08 is supposed to support 8168 chipset GiGaByte may have done some thing to it like using a different PHY chip that the driver cant initialise. how did you edit the driver_ aliases file ? did you use the correct PCI bus identifier ? PCI10ec is for the old sstyle PCI bus ( 10ec is the RealTek identifier ) PCIex10ec is for the new style PCI-Express BUS. which type NIC is it ? PCI or PCI Express ? Maybe you should try Murayama San'sGANI driver instead item 15 on the driver list below. http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Install Solaris 10 languages CDs
Hm, I dont think you should ever select a TYPICAL install . Always select CUSTOM when given a Choise. The Solaris typical install senario hides several of the choises you need to make in the install process. From this Manual close to the end of the page: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4039/webstart-91?l=en&a=view 15. Select the type of installation you want to perform. Click Next. Select Default Install to install the Entire Solaris Software Group. Select Custom Install if you want to perform the following tasks. Install a specific software group Install additional software Install specific software packages Install a specific locale Customize the disk layout -- So You need to perform a CUSTOM installation to be able to select Which LOCALE'sor languages that ends up in your system .

Re: [osol-help] Install Solaris 10 languages CDs
Hi, When you Install S10 you select language twice . First you select which language the installer is supposed to use. then later on you are able to select from a long list/menu which languages you want supported in your installation. ( us-english is always installed ) . If you dont select any further languages, the language CD is never called for during the install process. When I select "swedish" as an additional language the Language CD is requested later on after the 4 main CD's are installed and only the "swedish" extensions are installed from the Language CD. //Lars This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] The problem of checking the whole hard drive
Hi If the df -h list is complete it looks as if you have allocated some 6.5 GB in total to solaris. The rest of the Disk drives capacity is probably in another PC BIOS Hardware partition. To list the hardware partitions you can use the command " fdisk" your physical disk device is probably /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0, look in /dev/rdsk to find out ! fdisk output should look similar to : # fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0 Total disk size is 18241 cylinders Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks Cylinders Partition StatusType Start End Length% = == = === == === 1 ActiveSolaris2 1 1822818228100 SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: 1. Create a partition 2. Specify the active partition 3. Delete a partition 4. Change between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs 5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit) 6. Cancel (exit without updating disk configuration) Enter Selection: -- You probably have more than one partition here which prevents solaris from allocating the diskspace in the installtion phase. So basically i belive you need to delete ALL the partitions , with option 3 . and then choose option 5 to exit . As you are Not useing OpenSolaris 2008.05 the installer in SXCE och Solaris 10 is capable of creating a new Solaris partitoin covering the whole disk the next time you install , which you will have to do.

editing/creating the file /etc/defaultrouter
and writing the router IP address on a single , and only, line in this file
should also work
after a reboot.
Then you need to fix the DNS setup.
/etc/nsswitch.conf needs the entires
-
hostsfiledns
ipnodes file dns
--
the file /etc/resolv.conf needs to contain the Resolver
configuration
including IP numbers for the DNS servers.
/etc/resolv.conf
