Hi all

On solaris 8 I have a busy mail server logging messages to /var/log/maillog.
I need to rotate the files daily. Ive been searching the web for the best
log rotation utilities. Ive just tried one of them but discovered that
about 10 seconds of logs when missing as the log file was rotated.

What's the lists opinion on the best log rotation scripts available? Do I
need to change to a better syslog daemon?

Hi Gurus,
I have setup a Jumpstart Server to use Flash Archive Soalris 9. In my
old Jumpstart i used to use add_install_client from
/jumpstart/OS/Solaris_9_09-05/Solaris_9/Tools to add client. Now with
Flash Archive (archive_location   nfs
128.137.27.160:/export/install/flash/s10_0305_SUNWCXall_EIS.flar) in
profile from which location to run add_install_client? Do i have to run
set_install_server for Solaris 9 or copy add_install_client from Soalris
CD and run from any location?
Pelase help.
Regards
shahb

Hi Gurus,
Thanks to Darren Dunham for his Quick Response.
The answer is:
"You always run add_install_client on the boot server for the jumpstart.
The flash should work, but I would recommend always using a jumpstart
client image more recent than the flash image.  In other words, I would
want a Solaris 10 jumpstart image to install a Solaris 10 flash."

Subject: Encapsulation problems on Solaris 8 VxVM 4.1
To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org
Message-ID: <554e8561cd.561cd554e8@sorint.it>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
 Hi all,
I'm having a lot of problem encapsulating the boot disk on a Solaris
environment
with VxVM 4.1 installed. My partition table is like that:
slice 0 -> /
slice 1 -> swap
slice 6 -> /var
slice 7 -> /app
After vxinstall completed and vxconfigd deamons started succesfully (after
vxinstall I've rebooted to system too) I try to encapsulate the boot disk,
c7t10d0, using vxdiskadm, but I immediately see something of strange. VxVM is
telling me to assign the format type of the disk (cds or sliced? ... that's
really strange):
Select disk devices to encapsulate:
[<pattern-list>,all,list,q,?] c7t10d0
Here is the disk selected. Output format: [Device_Name]
c7t10d0
Continue operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
You can choose to add this disk to an existing disk group or to
a new disk group. To create a new disk group, select a disk group name that
does
not yet exist.
Which disk group [<group>,list,q,?] (default: rootdg)
There is no active disk group named rootdg.
Create a new group named rootdg? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
Use a default disk name for the disk? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
A new disk group will be created named rootdg and the selected disks will be
encapsulated and added to this disk group with default disk names.
c7t10d0
Continue with operation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
The following disk has been selected for encapsulation.
Output format: [Device_Name]
c7t10d0
Continue with encapsulation? [y,n,q,?] (default: y)
A new disk group rootdg will be created and the disk device c7t10d0 will be
encapsulated and added to the disk group with the disk name rootdg01.
Enter the desired format [cdsdisk,sliced,q,?] (default: cdsdisk) sliced
The operation seems to finish correctly, infact a reboot is now requested
from
VxVM, but when the system tries to come up it stops saying me:
Rebooting with command: boot

/etc/rcS.d/S86vxvm-reconfig: /etc/vx/reconfig.d/disks-cap: cannot create
At this point the only way to have my system up is a break of the system,
boot
net -sw, restore system partition table from
/etc/vx/reconfig.d/disk.d/c7t10d0/vtoc file and reboot in multi user mode.
Another attempt of encapsulation has the same result!
Have you got any suggestions / idea about it? My /var/adm/meesages hasn't
nothing that can help me to understand what is wrong!
I've already verified what explained in the document id
seer.support.veritas.com/docs/234895.htm but my vfstab is correct!

  We have a 280R SUN server which is down. This was running Solaris 6,
unsupported by SUN.
  Im trying to find out which version of Solaris 6 will work on this 280R.
  I have Solaris 2.6 5/98, but this will not work on the 280.
  Can you tell me which version of Solaris 6 I require for the 280R, even
though
SUN no longer supports solaris 6?#

Hello All;
Thanks to all who replied!!!!
My original question was if a dump or a tar was written to tape with the
"c" compression factor in the device name, like so;
#tar cvf /dev/rmt/0cn <some directory>
Would it be necessary for the reading of the same tape to also use the
"c" compression option?
Like so
#tar tvf /dev/rmt/0n <some directory>
The unanimous answer is no, it would not be necessary as the compression
is implemented in hardware and the h/w would be smart enough to
recognize it's own compression and decompress accordingly.
Thus a read operation on /dev/rmt/0n would still be successfull if the
original write operation used a compression facility e.g.  /dev/rmt/0c
THANKS FOR ALL WHO REPLIED!!!
Warmest Regards
