Re: sunmanagers Digest, Vol 8, Issue 7 ... Slow Boot Up

I am just wondering, if you disable some services in /etc/rc2.d/
directory. Is one of them sendmail ??? If the sendmail was disabled,
would you try to boot again with sendmail enabled. Realy have no idea
coz I had the same problem before with Sunfire V880 on Solaris 8.
Then probably just kill thesendmail service after bootup is completed.
Just checking if we have the same cause for slow boot up ?

I have a SunFire 480R, Solaris 9. Every time I reboot the system just
hangs at the point below, for about 5 min and then continues booting. Is
there a log file to look at after the system boots to see why it hangs
for 5 min

thanks

I'm thinking of picking up a Motorola T720 today.
I'm wondering if there a Solaris friendly cell phone exists.
I'm going to stop running windows at home. I'm hoping to run gnome, 
Solaris 8 or 9 and ximian.
I'd love to transfer address book info between Solaris and the T720.
What are your thoughts?

Thanks to WC Jones and the others that replied to my original e-mail which is
below.
After trying a few things, I simply did a patchrm on three of the patches that
were installed. The patches causing me the problem were: 109148-26 and
108994-29, 109327-11. I'm not sure which one or all of them that were causing
the problem. But, because of the fact that the problem corrupted the root
file system every time I tried to shutdown the system, I didn't really have
the time to find out which patch was causing the problem.
Thanks again for the help!
John
On Friday, I installed the Recommended and Security patches to a x86 Solaris 8
system. After the patches were installed, I did a reconfigure boot. This
morning, when I try to shutdown the system, I get this error message:
# Shutdown -y -g0 -i6
ld.so.1: /sbin/init: fatal: relocation error: file /etc/lib/nss_files.so.1:
symbol__nsl_fopen: referenced symbol not found
I couldn't find the exact message with a google search, but one close to this
suggested to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib. Before setting the env
variable, this variable was set to nothing. After setting it, I was able to
get a little further in the shut down process, but then the system complained
giving almost the exact same message expect it was looking for "/sbin/uadmin"
instead of "/sbin/init".

Hi I am trying to run Veritas Cluster Server Quickstart for Oracle, and am
encountering a problem.
The command in question is vcsqs-oracle-wizard.
The cluster is up and running successfully, the shared disk group is setup
and Oracle is installed and runing on a virtual IP. So all the prereq's
are met.
When I run 'vcsqs-oracle-wizard' the database is discovered by quickstart,
but I keep getting an error dialiog box "Listener vis is listening on the
base IP address of the system. Please update listener IP and click retry."
But the Oracle is already configured to listen on a virtual IP (hme0:2)..
Any Ideas? -- Solaris 9, VCS 3.5
Thanks

Hello gurus.
Since we are under contract with Dell, I recently bought 3 UltraSharp 
LCD(isplays) from them. They work fine on a PC and on a Blade 150 but they 
won't wake up when attached to a U5 or U10. If there is a solution, great. 
Otherwise, what LCD do YOU know that will work on U5s and U10s? We have big 
magnets here and LCD vs. CRT solves a lot of space problems.

Subject: Using PuTTY to send Control-? instead of "ESC [3~" when the
delete key is pressed
To: 
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
I'm sending this to sunmanagers in case someone knows of a way to solve
my problem without enhancing PuTTY. If not, then I'll submit a PuTTY
enhancement request.
Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:
I want use stty to make the delete key send the interrupt signal
(something like stty intr '^?') using PuTTY (TERM=xterm) to connect to a
Solaris 7 system. I'm not an expert on stty, but as far as I can tell,
there's no way to map a multi-character key sequence like "ESC [3~" to a
signal like intr. If I try something like stty intr '^[[3~' (which
probably doesn't make sense anyway), then what ends up happening is the
ESC key (^[) becomes the "interrupt key", and a whole slew of keys that
send "ESC something" no longer work as expected.
I wish PuTTY would let me configure the keyboard to send Control-? when
the delete key is pressed instead of "ESC [3~". I browsed the PuTTY
wishlist and didn't see this particular request. Perhaps its a special
case of the request for a general key-mapping feature, but it would be a
lot easier to implement and is very similar to an existing feature
whereby you can configure PuTTY to send either Control-H or Control-?
when the backspace key is pressed.

John Spurgeon

Thanks to all who responded. Many pages and links of documentation were sent,
but the clearest answer was to pick up a copy of "LDAP System Administation",
by Gerald Carter (O'Reilly and Associates). The book contains a complete HOWTO
for getting UNIX systems to work with Active Directory. Another suggested
title was "Kerberos: The Definitive Guide", by Jason Garman (also an ORA
book). Between the two of them, I should be able to get this working properly.
For those who requested to be kept in the loop on the progress of this
project, I'll try to keep an accurate journal of the implementation and
promise to share with the class.

What would cause metatool to report different results than metastat and 
metadb. For example, metatool will show each device as in either 
maintenance or critical mode whereas the status is OK in metastat.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi There,
Thank you very to all who responded to my query of installing a new
hard-disk. I have managed to get it going now but have run into another
problem.
I am trying to start openwindows by using "/usr/openwin/bin/openwin" and
get the following response:
"Giving up..
/usr/openwin/bin/Xinit Connection refused (errno 146): unable to
connect to Xserver
/usr/openwin/bin/Xinit: no such process (errno 3) Server error."
After installation of Solaris 8 on E250 I had to install Raptor GFX Open
Windows for Solaris. Midway through the installation I get the following
warning:
" ## Verifying package dependencies
Warning:
The packages " OpenWindows required core package" is
a prerequisite package and should be installed."
I tried to look for this package on the Solaris 8 CD but could not find
it.
I will be glad if someone can help me out here and get openwindows
going.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Anand.

Hello,
I have at least one bad memory module in an E420R, but I don't
seem to be able to run test-memory or test/memory from this
machine. Is there a memory test for this hardware?
I downloaded SunVTS, as I read that it has a software memory tester,
but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go or not. I will
probably not get a chance to get into the docs and test it out 
until Thursday anyhow.
I like to test in my dev 420 before putting components into my 
production machines, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Just running apps that use alot of memory seems like a suboptimal
way to test.. 
Thanks,
Rob Helmer
