Folks,

I ran into the issue where I normally run the folllowing command to get
or find out the speed but for newly build solaris box following is the
output --

any idea ?

# ndd -set /dev/ce instance 0
# ndd -get /dev/ce link_speed
operation failed: Invalid argument
#

Hi all,

  and thanks to Jason Grove [jgrove@wvu.edu] for his response, the only
  one I
  received so far.
  It seems that SUN has discontinued the support for the qfe-card since
  it has
  reached EOL, it's not supported in Sol 10 x86.
  Hm, I think I will have to buy some Gigaswifts...

Have a nice hackin',

Harald

  Betreff: SUN QFE-Card in Sol. 10/x86 on V20z?

Hi all,

  I need some more interfaces on a V20z running with Solaris 10 1/06. I
  have
  some ol' QFE-cards lying around, and thought it would be a good
  choice for
  the problem to use one of them.
  Hm... Unfortunately, it's not recognized, so I searched the web to
  get the
  appr. driver. I figured out that I need a package called SUNWqfed,
  but it
  seems this package is not available for Sol. 10/x86?! I can't find it
  on the
  jumpstart, and at SUN's download center, I've only found packages for
  the
  new GigaSwift cards.
  Or, will the GigaSwift driver support the old QFE-card also? Would be
  nice
  to get it working, I don't need Ggabit, so it does not make sense to
  buy new
  cards...

Anyone did this before? Any suggestions where to get driver?

Thanks, will summarize,

  Harald

Hi agn,

  and thanks to Darren Dunham for correcting a little mistake I made in
  my
  last post (Darren's mail is attached below):

  Of course, the qfe-cards are still supported on SPARC-based systems
  (I
  have one running fine in a E420 with Solaris 10). But, SUN has
  decided
  not to support them on x86-based systems.
  Btw.: The quad gigaswift is working just fine under Solaris 10 x86,
  the
  appr. driver is part of the OS. I have two systems with QGE-cards
  running here as a SUN cluster.

Thanks agn to the list,

Harald

  Dear Managers!
  I installed a new DVD rom in my SUN E450 server. I have not been able
  to bring it to life after this installation.
  Can anybody guide me through the diagnostics process so that i can
  what exactly is keeping my server from booting.
  Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

  Subject: Solaris inetd not honoring the "-t" flag
  To: <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org>
  Message-ID:
  <50BFA7C0BA27F345BE28A21B7BE7D33401DC6DFA@CHAPDMSXMB04.ad.tiaa-cref.org>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

  On solaris 9 9/05 (most recent 9_Recommended installed) inetd does
  not
  seem to honor the -t flag. I have modified /etc/init.d/inetsvc and
  added the '-t' flag to the startup line for inetd, also I have
  verified
  the correct logging settings necessary (daemon.notice) is set
  correctly
  to log to /var/adm/messages in /etc/syslog.conf.

  No inetd connection attempts are logged. Thinking perhaps the -t
  flag
  was in some way linked to the "ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING" setting in
  /etc/default/inetd I set the value in /etc/default/inetd to
  "YES". This
  did work, connection attempts were logged (following a restart of
  inetd)
  to /var/adm/messages. This led me to think that the flag in
  /etc/default/inetd had to be "YES" for the -t flag to even work so I
  now
  removed the "-t" flag from the inetd startup and rebooted. The
  system
  still logged connection attempts (as it should per the man page)
  because
  of the setting in /etc/default/inetd.

  This shows the system seems to completely ignore the "-t" flag to
  inetd
  in Solaris 9.

  Has anyone else had success using -t with inetd in Solaris 9? The
  main
  reason I ask is we have a large mix of 8 & 9 systems and I would like
  to
  limit the checks / controls to a single item where possible. It
  would
  be nice to have this control state that "inetd must run with the -t
  flag" instead of having to document separate controls for 8 & 9.

TIA,

Chad Johnson

  inetd(1M) From
  http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3937/6mjgeafpj?a=view#indexterm-199
  :

  The /etc/default/inetd file contains the following default parameter
  settings. See FILES
  <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3937/6mjgeafpj?a=view#inetd-1m-fil
  e> .

ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING

  Specifies whether incoming TCP connections are traced. The value
  ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING=YES is equivalent to the -t command-line
  option. The default value for ENABLE_CONNECTION_LOGGING is NO.

.....

-t

  Instructs inetd to trace the incoming connections for all of its TCP
  services. It does this by logging the client's IP address and TCP
  port
  number, along with the name of the service, using the syslog(3C)
  <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3939/6mjgg7haf?a=view> facility.
  "Wait" wait-status services cannot be traced. When tracing is
  enabled,
  inetd uses the syslog facility code daemon and notice priority level.
  This logging is separate from the logging done by the TCP wrappers
  facility. See FILES
  <http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-3937/6mjgeafpj?a=view#inetd-1m-fil
  e> .

  Ok, so some more searching and I found this
  http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-25-72911-1
  which
  states:

As of Solaris[TM] 9, using the "-t" flag with the inetd daemon is
superseded by the /etc/default/inetd file.

And then goes on to say:

For further information, refer to the Solaris[TM] 9 inetd man page.

  And of course the man page says that -t works. Ahh, the joy of out
  of
  date / inaccurate documentation.

  This shows the system seems to completely ignore the "-t" flag to
  inetd
  in Solaris 9.

  I was troubleshooting this for another admin when the problem
  occured. I have since found out that they have installed SFU 3.5 from
  Microsoft which is a product that verifies the unix passwd with a
  policy on a windows box. The new password didn't meet the criteria so
  a permission denied was returned. Thanks for the input from multiple
  folks.

Original question:

Update:

  I do get a permission denied after the "passwd changed " statement. I
  have ran pwconv and checked permissions on /etc/passwd and
  /etc/shadow. I have tried taking the nis out of nsswitch.conf for the
  passwd word line and still no luck.

Original question:

  I have a Solaris 9 box running NIS. When I enter the command passwd
  <username> the prompt hangs for about 2 minutes and finally returns
  and accepts the new password. After the re-enter passwd section, I
  will eventually see the message about passwd successfully changed but
  then will be asked to please try again. I have stop and restarted
  NIS.

  I have a server which the users report memory/performance

  be a
  single command..but a series of steps looking into different
  parameters on
  the box OR may be a DOC. This is a sunfire v 240 server running 2.9.
  Thanks in advance and i will summarise.

  Uname -a gives me the same output, prtdiag -v does the same. Does

Greeting Managers,

  We are trying to redeployed our solaris 8 machine with Sun
  Storage A5200 disk array when we found out that we lost the
  vxvm and vxfs installation media. Thank god the server has not
  been formatted yet and we still have the license codes in the
  system.

  Is there anyway for me to get the installation files for these
  2 products? Anybody has them in their archive? We were using vxvm 3.1
  along with vxfs (not sure what version).
  I'm not sure if the license can be used for higher versions?

Thanks & regards,
-Fadzly
