Re: Zones in Solaris 10: part three – sparse root and whole root

Window 7 themes — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:13:57 -0000

in whole root zone every zone installs it's own copy of OS like solaris 10
That is not space efficient
So it's good to use sparse root method

Hi, your tutorial is excellent, just that I have one last question, since you have all the tools azap installed, how you execute the command with the package you want installed? it's like ubuntu: apt-get install? Thanks for your reply, greetings from Mexico

Hi can you use ifs in a non global zone by configuring vfstab to connect to a nfs share. For our oracle install we have two zones configured for ifs access to nas.

Thanks for this! very clear. If I am not a Linux admin, is there another way to get SSH tunneling and forwarding set up, maybe just for my ID?

To set the hostname and make it stick and register during dhcp, add the wanted hostname to /etc/hostname. as below:

inet hostname

Then it'll do the right thing under Solaris 10

Re: SMF: offline or disabled services

Hi Susan,

It's usually a sign of one of the basic initialization routines not completing successfully. Try svcs -a and grep for anything that's in maintenance mode.

Re: HOW-TO: X11 forwarding using ssh, putty and Xming

Hello.

I was wondering if anybody has succeeded with running "ssh -X" command from the windows command prompt instead of using etc Putty.? I can't get it to work. The session complains on the display not being correct.

Jeroen — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 04:25:48 -0000

Works perfectly with Putty on Win7 and Ubuntu Server. Didn't even have to edit sshd_config.

Loren Osborn — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 17:04:09 -0000

Or the more modern accepted practice (running as a normal user with sudo access):

sudo /sbin/service sshd restart

it really does exactly the same thing as above:
sudo elevates your privileges to root for one command only.
"service" is simply a script to manage all the scripts in /etc/rd.d/init.d, but as it's not in the path of normal users (and, as root, it's safer to be explicit) you use /sbin/service
All the scripts in /etc/rd.d/init.d generally respond to the four possible commands: start stop restart status. These scripts are each responsible for knowing how to safely shutdown and startup their respective daemons.

Solaris not only platform for Oracle RDBMS. This is, firstly, common operating environment. Note that. And performance/other optimization is not only around one - but really monopoly - database. Sadly that best common OS will be transform to yet another little database startup program. I'm not believe to Larry. He is already crap most common Solaris users with his costs.

This is great stuff. I have it working nicely from my windows machine. Do you have a solution where if I put my startup icon for xming {xlaunch.config} on a citrix server and allow 3 people access to the same Icon that hardcodes Display 0; does xming have a feature where it will increment Display value from 0 to the next available port so the next person executing it on citrix will get the xwindows display to their client. I've been racking my brain on this one.

Re: Using Solaris 10 as DHCP client

Steven Gelsie — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:35:46 -0000

Here is the process of setting up a Solaris 10 DHCP client

1) Find you what network interface you are using

ifconifg -a

2) Create a /etc/dhcp.[network interface_name] file

ex:touch /etc/dhcp.e1000g0

3) Edit the /etc/hostname.[network_interface]

This should be one line either just host name if your NOT using
dynamic DNS update or "inet host name" if you are using dynamic DNS.

[host name]

or

inet [host name]

4) Create of edit the /etc/nodename file

This should have your host name

5) Edit the /etc/host file

This should NOT for your host name. DHCP will put an
entry in for you host.

6) If you are using dynamic DNS to with DHCP you have to edit the
/etc/default/dhcpagent file. Set

REQUEST_HOSTNAME=yes

7) Configure your network interface to use DHCP

ifconfig [network interface] dhcp start
