Hello Managers,
I have installed the /dev/random patch 112438-01 on to an ultra5
with 128Mb of memory.
When I use Andrew.J.Caines script download from:
http://halplant.com:88/software/Solaris/scripts/setup_random
I get the following output:
# ./setup_random
Patch 112438 is installed.
Making device nodes.
Making device links.
Loading driver.
can't load module: Out of memory or no room in system tables
Priming entropy pool.
./setup_random[54]: /dev/random: cannot create
./setup_random[55]: /dev/random: cannot create
Finished. You now have the following random devices:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 33 May 15 17:33 /dev/random -> ../devices/pseudo/random@0:random
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 34 May 15 17:33 /dev/urandom -> ../devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom
crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 198, 0 May 15 17:33 /devices/pseudo/random@0:random
crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 198, 1 May 15 17:33 /devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom
Do you want to test the new device? (y/n) y
Running: dd if=/dev/random of=/tmp/.11175.14217 bs=512 count=1
dd: /dev/random: open: No such device or address
Running: strings /tmp/.11175.14217
You should see a few lines of random garbage:
#
I believe this fails because of the "can't load module: Out of
memory or no room in system tables" line.
If I use modload -p drv/random I get the same message:
# modload -p drv/random
can't load module: Out of memory or no room in system tables
I have checked /etc/name_to_major and there is an entry for random:
# cat /etc/name_to_major | grep random
random 198
Does this require a reboot, or is there away of freeing up memory or
system table space with out rebooting?
Thanks for your time
Darren
