Starting PPP on S10u3..?

I think I asked this a year ago and didnt get any reply I can think 
of...so if I did (sorry!)...

I was wondering if anyone incorporated starting PPP(PPPoE) on solaris 
under SMF and could provide a method/manifest to look at.

OTOH, this cant be that difficult...I just need to know what 
dependancies I need to NOT ignore. I am running IPFilter and know all 
of the tricks to get -that- to work with PPPoE...but starting out 
of /etc/rc2.d seems so lame now that SMF is here...

Anyone?

I don't know if it was the version, or the whether it was because I used
the JDS launcher, but the build 62 version run from the command line
does not show this problem.

Currently running thunderbird (and firefox) on b62/Turion X2 with c96% 
idle on both cores.  Started from JDS launcher.

it would be nice to figure out what the defect is, just so others who
might run into this might be helped by google... (since yahoo search
blows serious chunks).  Since it is supposed to print debug statements
when getting a release and a config and you are seeing nothing, could
it possibly be that you installed solaris in "secure" mode and that
ipfilter may be stripping out the bootp packets somehow?

I do run in secure mode, but from what I had gathered that basically 
shuts off un-needed services an what not.

Talking with a few people from Sun, they can't seem to duplicate this 
while I can and rather consistently.

It really doesn't matter anymore as my solution is actually better (I 
think) and can be cron'd if needed.

I suspect this is the problem.  Since menu.lst is under /boot, which is
not part of your root mirror, LU, SVM and GRUB are unable to handle
this situation.  Perhaps it's a bug, or a configuration that is not
addressed in the code.  Or, it could be that your sequence of
operations is the cause.  

The metaroot command tells the system that / is mirrored.  It modifies
/etc/vfstab and sets up boot parameters as appropriate, including the
locations of your metadb's.  These things change over time.  For
instance, the mddb information used to be in /etc/system.  Then it
moved to /kernel/drv/md.conf (or maybe the other way around).   Now I
don't know where it is, since I only seem to find out when something
goes wrong :-/

I don't have any experience with a separate /boot.  However, I believe
that if you had /boot in the normal place your problem would disappear.

Because in the beginning, I installed an old SX build (current at the 
time). It went on the first slice.
Then later I installed S10 on the s4 slice, and started to use that, 
then mirrored it. But the /boot stayed always on s0.

What I really need is a way to move /boot. Does installgrub do that? Can 
you move /boot specifically to an md device that's not s0?
I'll have to check tomorrow, when the weekend ends, but it's not a box 
that I can shutdown at any time.

Ok, I see, I've got some exploration to do there to understand how it 
all works. I do believe it's a case that wasn't expected, and there's no 
check nor warning for that.

er, looks gree^h^h^h^hfrench to me....   :)   I'd first try using tip
by editing /etc/remote (create a new entry, or modify hardwire).

getting started with Xen on Solaris X86

Hello,

I have just purchased an Ultra 20 config 3 system, for among other 
things, coming up to speed with Xen.

I have archived a lot of good notes and URL's from the list, and I see 
that there are many HOWTO's, both from the opensolaris.org web site, and 
many write ups by individuals.

To get to the point, I am not intent on asking any RTFM questions, but I 
would comment that the bulk of online documentation discuss older 
versions of software.

Do I really need to use Build 44 to play with Xen.  Do I still need to 
use those special Python packages, or are they now integrated?

TIA for any comments,

Jerry K
