Thanks for you reply. I am not talking about a planned architecture; I am talking about an installed and working one that I inherited. Changing the cluster type in the time being is not an option....

Hi everybody
We have a Sun Cluster with two nodes, connected to a number of SAN disks over fiber cables. We made SVM disk sets on those disks for our application needs.
Now we constructed another...

Hi all
I am running the following hardware:
2 SUN Solaris 10 machines
They are connected to EMC clarion LUNs
We are running a Sun Cluster 3.2 managing both nodes
We are using Solaris Volume...

Thanks guys for your help. I downloaded and installed the patchset and the system is running properly.
Thanks again

Hello
I recently downloaded and installed the latest patchset for Solaris 10 (update 5) running on SPARC.
Actually I am new to Solaris (I come from Red Hat) and the security department asked me to...

Ok guys i figured it out... the system had SVM mirroring and I was booting from the wrong disk.

Dear all

I have a SPARC solaris 5.10 system. I did something very silly while editing the vfstab file I modified the root (/) filesystem mount point setting to be /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 ...

Ok guys i finally got the machine up and running. I had to have some personnel from Oracle to assist me. For anyone in the same situation, the problem was that the root filesystem was using SVM...

It's a rather old system.
How about if i connect in failsafe mode and disabled the service that checks for the kernel files consistency (causing the errors) ?

bootadm: failed to unpack stat data: /a/boot/solaris/filestat.ramdisk: Bad address
Creating boot_archive for /a
updating /a/platform/sun4u/boot_archive

Then when i reboot the same error message...

Ok i did exactly as you stated (except that the root device is c0t0d0s0) and here is the output after the reboot:
Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device:...

installboot /usr/platform/$(uname -i)/lib/fs/ufs/ufsboot/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
no changes in s/w or h/w
now when i did a reset via xcsf the machine is stuck at "boot device xxx" with no...

Ok here is an update... I managed to restore the superblock by issuing the installboot command from the single user mode of the CD.
But now there is another problem: the system says Error: Unable to...

I did that just boot but still no luck. Is updating the firmware mandatory or just a recommended practice? because the most important thing now is to get the machine up.

local-mac-address? true true
silent-mode? false false...

I logged into the server via cdrom in single user mode and i found that the unix fie is there and it is executable. Yet the same message appears when trying the normal boot. Any suggestions?

ok what about The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
Is this also related to the fact the the kernel is lost? or is that a different issue??

Dear all

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have Solaris 10 installed on an M5000 SPARC machine. While rebooting it, we are faced with the following message then the OK prompt:

Hello admins and gurus

I have a controversial topic: now we are investing in a new Linux OS that will hold our Sybase database. The server will virtualized on a VMware server hosted on SAN...

Could you please shed some light on that "shared memory" thing because i don't fully understand this term. Does it mean that memory is allocated to whatever process is needing it and when when other...

Hello
We have a SPARC box running Solaris 10. We have 32 GB of physical memory, 32 GB of swap. Now i want to monitor memory usage for performance tuning. The box is running Sybase database. When I...

Thanks all for your help
To close this thread, yes i didn't know that the admrole had a separate password than the user who belongs to that role (i'm a solaris newbie) so i called the admin and got...

Hello
I am a new (and only) administrator of a Solaris 10 environment. The previous admin gave me a use (say user123) that is supposed to have administrative privileges.
Now the problem is, the...

Thanks hergp
Yes we do have a shared storage among both nodes containing the data files. Did this "maintenance window" implies that we break and rebuild the whole cluster?

Hello everyone
I've inherited an Oracle Solaris system holding ASE Sybase databases. The system consists of two nodes inside a Sun Cluster. Each of the nodes is hosting 2 Sybase database instances,...
