Re: Sun Storedge D1000 runs with UltraSCSI (x6540a) ?

original post follows... below

The D1000 has a (High-Voltage) Differential SCSI interface, so you will 
have to use an HVD SCSI card.  IIRC, the X6540 is an Ultra-SCSI SE 
dual-interface card, so it will not work with the D1000.

HTH.

Solaris 9 to Solaris 10 "upgrade"

I'm looking for tips on migrating from 9 to 10.  Yesterday, I tried to
upgrade an Ultra-60, but it would not allow it.  The system had 
developed some problem and we had been planning to migrate to 10 
anyways.  So, I did an initial install instead.  But, I was happily 
surprised that it somehow managed to remember my settings for the NIS 
server.  Of course, there were alot of things that
it did not remember.  Here are 2 things that I needed to change:

1. NFS mounts
  a. the remote mounts in /etc/vfstab had to be re-added
  b. the NFS client had to be started at boot
   i. could not find nfs.client so I took it from Solaris 9 
/etc/init.d/nfs.client
   ii. copy it to /etc/rc0.d/K41nfs.client (same as Solaris 9)
   iii. and also to /etc/rc2.d/S73nfs.client (same as Solaris 9)
2. remote X11 display always refused
  a. use command svccfg
  b. select application/x11/x11-server
  c. setprop options/tcp_listen=true

Unfortunately, it took me all day today to "discover" these.  And, for
#1, I cheated; I just grabbed the files that I needed from Solaris 9, 
but I doubt this would work all of the time; it certainly would not
for #2.  Is there
a list of tips somewhere?  I tried 2 book stores, but all they had
was Solaris 10 Internals.  While I'm sure that would be a very
interesting read, I doubt it would help me set up my system.

Thanks,

Remote printers

We need to set up some printers on a remote network and I'm having a bit
of trouble figuring out how to make it work.  I hope someone can give me
some advice.

We have a Solaris 7 system with our ERP software.  Most of the printers
are HP LJ's that I set up using JetDirect Printer Installer for UNIX
Version E.10.34.  Now I need to set up some more HP printers that are
not in the local domain.  Example we're 10.96.xx.xx and the domain I
need to use is 10.236.xx.xx all within the corporate firewall.  I can
ping the remote printers in question and when I set them up with
Admintool the printers will print the contents of the first packet they
receive but there's no spooling.  When I try to set them up with the
JetDirect software I get the message:

     !! 10.236.32.2 is NOT an acceptable name!!
     Either it is NOT a network printer or this host is denied access to
it!

Can anyone give me some advice?

Thanks, Dave

You might like to try without using JetDirect. Most JetDirect-capable HP
printers can also support lpd printing. This normally needs enabling via
the printer admin interface (telnet or web depending on age of printer).

Once this is enabled on the printer you can print to the lpd interface
using queue AUTO, which automatically detects plain text and PostScript.
Some more modern printers even seem to accept PDFs on the lpd interface.

You can set this up on a host by executing:

	lpset [-n ...] -absdaddr=<host>,AUTO <name>

I have been using this successfully for some time. The JetDirect drivers
for Solaris don't seem to be supported any more, and aren't available for
Solaris x86, so I had to find an alternative.

Sun Blade 6000 systems

Please understand this is merely a "curiosity" type question...

At present we have a V490 (2 x 1.35GHz, 8Gb RAM, 2 x 146Gb HDD) connected to our EMC Clariion SAN.  I've been
asked to
get the price for a second V490 (same spec.) to act as a "failover" (heartbeat/failover software as yet undecided).

I've just been looking at the prices for the new Sun Blade 6000 systems and a blade chassis with two 8-core UltraSPARC
CPUs, 4Gb RAM and 1 x 73Gb HDD) costs about 3K (UK list price, sterling) less.

My question is this:

What sort of power consumption/environmental differences would there be between, for instance,  2 x V490s
and one blade
chassis with two T6300 blades?

I rather like the look of the 6000s (although pricing of individual blades needs "tweaking" when compared
to IBM blades)
and would like to make a case for getting at least one, possibly 2 chassis on the grounds of a) environmental
impact and

(b) server consolidation

Any advice/suggestions/input gratefully received

PS. I've already emailed our Sun VAR with similar questions

Re: Sun Blade 6000 systems

Blade servers are nice in concept - but from a data
center perspective - thay are a nightmare as far as
btu output is concerned.  Yes they are "smaller", take
up less rack space etc - but for the compactness in
size - you are squeezing more ram (heat generation)
into a smaller foot print.  Processors are getting so
much better in power comsumption - but ram is not! 
And all newer boxes are requiring more ram.

I've recently been in a large center where they are
collapsing into a large number of blade servers - both
wintel & sun - yes the room is now half empty - but
they have exceeded the electrical capacity of the room
as they are now eating it all in extra cooling for the
larger btu output of the blade racks versus the sun &
wintel servers in standalone racks that they replaced.

Just my random .02 thought - measure the btu output.

Allow direct console login when root is an RBAC role.

Hi all,

I'm trawling through docs to see if what I'm trying here is feasible
but I thought I'd pick the brains available here in case it's already
been done by someone.

I'm looking in to switching the root user to an RBAC role on a couple
of systems. Switching root to a role and enabling select users access
to this role is easy enough. What I'm wondering though is is there a
way to bypass the RBAC auth checks for console logins?

I've encountered times where systems are running low on resources and
the only way to get on a box and troubleshoot has been as root on the
console, obviously if root's a role then I'd need to login as a normal
user and su which may not be feasible in extreme cases.

Is there some incantation can be added to /etc/security/auth_attr or
/etc/user_attr to bypass RBAC? This is Solaris 10 BTW.

Thanks,

Will.
