    Help Creating Magic Script

    You need to escape the @'s. If you're expecting the user to actually type in the @ character, your script is checking for an array named @ (because @ is the array identifier). If you want to check for if the user actually typed in "@@", you need to check for \@\@, and escape both of them with...

    Solaris 10 NIS Compatibility

    Since this is an older thread I'm assuming you've already figured this out, but just in case you didn't, we had many Sol 10 clients running off of a Solaris 8 NIS master, with Solaris 8 NIS slaves. We eventually upgraded the master, and all still went well.

    SSH Help - ssh-keygen problem

    Just to add a comment here, 'cannot execute' is a classic 'wrong architecture' message that Ken mentioned above. When I see that, 9/10 times that's the issue.

    how to install software without the video card

    If you can get a Windows-based xterm/xwindows emulator, you can export your display from the Sun server to whatever computer you connect from. Read the man pages on 'xhost' and 'ssh' using the -x (or -X, I forget) argument.. You might also have to export your DISPLAY variable too. Usually its...

    Solairs newbee - New install keeps rebooting

    The system log is /var/adm/messages. It's been years since I used x86 failsafe... but if that is where it mounts the root filesystem under /a, try looking in /a/var/adm/messages. You might have to manually mount /var, if so, look in /etc/vfstab (or /a/etc/vfstab) and see what your block device...

    swap space and dump space configuration

    An article I read on sunsolve.sun.com said that they recommend that swap be 30% of physical memory. Having too much swap can reduce performance by causing too many memory pages to get swapped... not sure exactly how that works, it's been too many years since my CS classes, I just know that's...

    HBA/Controller problem in Solaris 8

    Qlogics with the Leadville driver don't use sd.conf... at least that's what I've been told. The file exists but doesn't have hardly any lines it at all. We have hundreds of them in production already. The issue here is that something caused one of the controllers to disappear from the system...

    How can I know solaris volume manager is running

    metastat -i gives very detailed information about how the RAID is configured, and also verifies that SVM is running.

    HBA/Controller problem in Solaris 8

    The two servers have QLogic cards, which don't use the sd.conf file. Some of our older boxes have emulex cards that use lpfc.conf and sd.conf, but these were replaced some time ago with the qlc/leadville drivers, that don't require those. I agree completely that it is unlikely that both had a...

    HBA/Controller problem in Solaris 8

    We have a couple servers running Solaris 8, connected to an EMC SAN frame. There are two connections (two HBA ports) to allow DMP for redundancy. Sun has suggested some patches, but none of them have worked. The SAN team sees that both HBAs are logging into the EMC frame, but format still only...

    SVM/Disksuite question

    Thanks for the instructions... from what I recall, I think that's basically what I did. I took the vtoc from the first disk (which had cylinder 0-1 (the first two cylinders) and created the s3 partition to store the metadb info, then used s0 (I think) for cylinders 2-24619 or whatever) The...

    SVM/Disksuite question

    Yes, however I did create a very small (~2 cylinder) slice to hold the metadb information, aside from that I used the entire disk. Does it matter which slice is used for the large slice?

    SVM/Disksuite question

    I have an external disk array (with 12 disks) and I'm trying to create a RAID device using SVM. I basically want a single "volume" of 6 disks, mirrored with the other 6 disks, to create one very large filesystem. I tried creating the metadevice (with metainit) and just put all the devices in the...

    Teaching Troubleshooting

    I don't consider someone an admin who can only function because of well-laid out instructions. Anyone who can read and think can do that. Part of being an admin is being able to get a feel for what might be causing your problem, or even where to start looking. As a few others have said before...

    Exporting display through multiple servers

    I am trying to export a display for a Volume Manager GUI from a Solaris server to my Solaris workstation. The only problem is that the target server is behind a firewall, and requires that we ssh to a third system (a jumpbox) to connect. I've heard its possible to set up a display export through...

    Problem opening a (remote) file

    I am working on a web-based (cgi) script that will allow easy searching through hundreds of "logs" that are mounted on an NFS share. I already have the search part working, which basically does a grep out of the log directory. It returns an array which I display to the webpage. I then want the...

    Spreadsheet::WriteExcel Formula #DIV/0 Bad message

    Every time I've ever gotten a division by zero error its because of an unwanted/unescaped slash (/) in my code somewhere. Are you dividing the first part (SUMIF) by the second part (COUNTIF)? If so, then you need to make sure that the denominator is not zero, and if not, what is the purpose of...

    Install / libxml2 problem on Solaris 10 x86

    I am trying to run configure on my Solaris 10/x86 workstation for PHP5. I keep running into the same error: configure: error: libxml2 version 2.6.11 or greater required. I downloaded, configured, compiled, and installed 2.6.27 of libxml2, and it said it used the basedir of /usr/local. Here...

    Problem with Ultra 20 after installing nge drivers

    I have an Ultra20 x86 running Solaris 10 6/06, and I tried to use my sound device and was basically given a message that my sound driver wasn't installed. I went to my Supplemental CD that came with my workstation and ran the install script under the drivers/sx86/ directory, and when it was...

    Problem with apache2 on Solaris 10

    Taken from the site: apache-2.2.0-sol10-x86-local.gz Apache 2 - the popular web server - installs in /usr/local/apache2. This apache package was configured with openssl support. The apr-1.2.2, aprutil-1.2.2, expat, libiconv, gdbm, db-4.4.20.NC, openssl-0.9.8e, and either the libgcc or gcc must...
