Hi all,
In /var/adm/messages of a Sun fire 4800 I'm receiving the following messages:
At 05:31:47 daemon.error SIGHUP caught - reloading moduels
at 05:32:18 auth.error no dump device configured
Might you help me to understand which problem has the machine?
Thanks

Currently, Cisco does not provide a VPN client for Solaris x86, although there
is one for Solaris Sparc.
Does any one have a usable 3rd party functional VPN client that they use to
connect to a Cisco VPN concentrator. It could be 3rd party commercial,
shareware, freeware, open source, etc?
A Yahoo search turns up many others asking the same question, but no answers.
Thanks for any comments, I will post a summary.

Hi:
Im running SunCluster 3.2 on Solaris 10 (06/06).
I have a one-node cluster up and running. The resource group I defined has, as
part of it, a LogicalHost defined as shown:
==================================================================
root# clrs show -g mq1-RG -p NetIfList,HostnameList mq1-lh-RES
=== Resources
===
Resource: mq1-lh-RES
--- Standard and extension
properties ---
NetIfList:
ipmp_grp0@1
Class: extension
Description: List of IPMP groups on each
node
Per-node: False
Type: stringarray
==================================================================
I can bring the resource group online and offline with each resource
correspondingly going on and offline as well, including the LogicalHost
resource.
My questions is this...
With the resource group brought online, ce0:2 gets configured successfully
(LogicalHost).
Fine. But when I, on purpose, do an "ifconfig ce0:2 down" or unplumb it, to
hopefully see the cluster bring it back up, an scstat shows the LogicalHost as
online even though ce0:2 remains down or unplumbed:

Service is online.
Anyone know why it doesn't bring it back up? I followed the docs to the
letter.

Dear prospective sunmanagers poster,
Before posting, please stop for a minute and consider whether or not your
posting is suitable for Sunmanagers. The list is not intended for just any
possible question related to managing Sun equipment or software. The only
appropriate questions for Sun Managers are time-critical questions about Sun
system management problems that are not answered in the manuals or system
documentation, or in the Sunmanager's FAQ.
In particular, the following kinds of postings are not appropriate:
- Subscribe and unsubscribe messages. Point your web browser to
http://www.sunmanagers.org instead.
- Test messages of any sort.
- Discussions about anything, including discussions about the list
itself, or followups to any posting, with the exception of a single
summary to one's own question summarizing the email responses. Use
instead one of the Sun newsgroups, eg. comp.sys.sun.admin,
comp.sys.sun.hardware or comp.unix.solaris.
- Replies to any SunManagers posting, even if the reply is a
separate question. Please send a separate message instead.
- Postings not related to Sun equipment or software. Use the
appropriate newsgroup or mailing list instead. For example,
if your question concerns "sendmail", please consult the
comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup or the www.sendmail.org website.
- General UNIX or network questions. Use the appropriate newsgroup,
eg. comp.unix.questions instead.
- Postings that are not time-critical. Use one of the Sun newsgroups,
eg. comp.sys.sun.admin, comp.sys.sun.hardware or comp.unix.solaris.
- Questions answered in the FAQ. Read the FAQ instead. If you're

appropriate newsgroup instead.
- Please, no postings in HTML, rich-text-format, Microsoft Word,
Word Perfect, or any format that some people on the list would not
easily be able to read. Also, please post in English only; most
of our readers are not able to read other languages.
- Please do not BCC (blind carbon copy) the list. Many of our
list members depend on the list address appearing on incoming
mail messages, so that they can automatically distinguish list
traffic from other traffic.
Please note that we are not saying these postings are necessarily "bad" or
"stupid". They are not. They are merely inappropriate for this list. There
are many other lists and newsgroups for which the question may be completely
appropriate, and we encourage you to submit the posting there.
Note also that your question may have been already answered in the past.
Please spend a minute or two checking one of the Sunmanager's archives, for
example, at http://www.sunmanagers.org, or one of the archive sites mentioned
in the FAQ.
Here's an example of an appropriate question:
I have a SPARCserver 99 running Solaris 9.8.7 with the fizbozz patch
and the jumbo kernel patch version 158. After I installed
Futzbarworks version 3.2, the machine locks up every couple of
hours. When it locks up, the following message appears on the
console:
zz0: out of futzbufs. Barworks table is full.
I need to get this machine working as soon as possible. Please
help! Send email and I will summarize to the list.
To submit a question, email it to sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org. When you do
this, please indicate all relevant information, including machine type, OS
version and patches. Collect email replies, and then summarize them to the
list. If your question was posted with a subject of "foobar", for example,
then please post your summary with a subject of "SUMMARY: foobar".
Why are we asking that only certain types of postings be submitted to the
list? Very simply, the reason is this: we want the list to have a very short
turnaround time, and the only reasonable way to do this is to keep it
unmoderated. But this means that every message sent to the list ends up in
the mailboxes of all the list members. To keep all the members of the list
from being deluged by inappropriate messages, we need everyone's co-operation
in ensuring that only appropriate messages are sent to the list.
Please remember, Sunmanagers is a public forum: we have thousands of
subscribers, all posts are archived on numerous archive sites, and these are
searchable via various web engines. A great number of people will read your
message. Keep in mind that the person reading your message may be your boss,
your future boss, your customer, your seminar instructor, your colleague, or
someone else that you work with today or may find yourself working with
tomorrow. We do not want you to embarrass yourself by sending an
inappropriate or poorly thought-out posting.

Subject: Serial port problem with USB-Serial driver of Solaris 10
SPARC

Dear managers,
we use an EdgePort USB-Serial Adaptor to add four additional serial interfaces
to a SF 240 running Solaris 10. This adaptor is natively supported by Solaris.
When plugging the device into one of the USB ports of the server, we get the
devices
/dev/term/0
/dev/term/1
/dev/term/2
/dev/term/3
However, while I can open the native serial port /dev/term/a with the
following command.
fdes = open("/dev/term/a", O_RDWR)
this does not work for the edgeport ports. The command
fdes = open("/dev/term/0", O_RDWR)
blocks. I have to do
fdes = open("/dev/term/a", O_RDWR | O_NDELAY);
to get it opened. Any idea why? I read the open manpage but not really figured
out what the O_NDELAY option is meant for. From time to time the edgeport
driver or the device itself seems to go into the woods.
Doing an open of the above form returns an invalid file descriptor then. I
have to unplug the edgeport, wait a few seconds and plug it in again to get
the whole scenario working again. No solution for a production system.
Can I manually trigger the reinitialization of the edgeport interfaces (the
Solalris USB- Serial driver), e.g. by killing a process or calling whatever
script? I looked through "ps-Af" but found nothing that seemed related. Hints
are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Andreas

I only got one response on this -- quickly I may add! Aaron Lineberger
suggested that I manually register my machine with sconadm. It didn't work,
and I received the same error about the security validator. A little research
showed that there were some problems with the patch manager in various Solaris
releases. In fact, I remember some trouble with smpatch/updatemanager on my
x86 laptop a few months ago, but the fix I used then (change the source URL to
"https:" and exclude the trailing "/solaris") didn't work, either.
I downloaded and installed the latest cluster. Word to the wise: You must
run /install_cluster, reboot, and rerun ./install_cluster a second time!
After that, it seems to be working just fine now (at least on one box!).
Thanks to all,
-Sal

Hi All-
I recently installed Solaris-10 06/06 on two new T2000's. Both are running
the Developer Cluster with slight modifications (add Freeware Shells, remove
Apache, remove WBEM, etc.)
After getting basic settings done, I ran updatemanager to install the latest
patch sets. My first run installed 119254-27 and 121118-08 which are updates
to the smpatch suite. I know there are more than two patches, so I rechecked
for updates. There are 128 new patches, but I can't get them to install on
either machine in either GUI or CLI mode.
Errors on one machine:
Failure: Cannot connect to retrieve Database/current.zip:
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path validation failed:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: signature check failed
The other machine runs 'smpatch analyze' without problems, but if I try to do
'smpatch download' or 'smpatch update' I get this error:
<patch#>: This patch could not be found
Two questions: Why are the error messages so different? Anybody know how to
fix this and get patches working again?
TIA,
-Sal

Hi:
For the problem I explained, its actually not (as told to me by Sun). IPMP
handles underlying problems with SC logicalHost VIPs within an IPMP group
(moving them as necessary from one interface to another - normal IPMP
behavior).
But IPMP does not concern itself with the VIP's themselves as it does with
link level loss and with reachability to well known IP's on the local subnet
(e.g. default router; multicast address; etc.).
So the behavior I experienced below, is not incorrect.
Btw... Thank you Andreas for pointing out that SC3.2 support starts at the H/W
11/06 version of Solaris 10.

Noel Milton
