Here are some notes that I made when I setup an orca server.
I done it a while ago, But it might still be of use to you.
I tried to make it a bit easier for you to read by using the code and quote tags....
I hope you find this info usefull.

Set paths:
======= Create link:
======== Create the base directories:
==================== Add the following pkg:
================
RICHPse
Configure Apache:
=============
copy the /etc/apache/httpd.conf-example to /etc/apache/httpd.conf
Change the following lines in this file:
# /etc/init.d/apache start
set up your NFS stuff. A sample:
========================
These must be writable, so make sure you have space for N clients to store their data.
The first mount point is where the actual user-viewable stuff goes.
The second is where the orcallator output goes for rrd to work with.
Unroll the orca tarball (orca-0.27.tar.gz):
==============================
Assuming you've read all the docs that come with orca and laid everything out correctly,
copy and paste should work.
Edit the Makefiles:
=============
Changes in /var/orca/orca-0.27/packages/rrdtool-1.0.40/perl-shared/Makefile
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in /var/orca/orca-0.27/packages/rrdtool-1.0.40/perl-piped/Makefile
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run make:
=======
make test_modules install_modules install orcallator_run_at_boot
Edit /opt/orca/lib/orcallator.cfg:
=======================
Set the right path for find_files variable.
/var/orca/orcallator # was /opt/orca/var/orca/orcallator
Start orca:
========
Double-check your installation, looking over orcallator.cfg and start_orcallator.
If all looks well, ./start_orcallator in your $bindir.
This will get data written out to the NFS mount point you set up. Repeat this as
necessary across all the systems you want to orcallate.
On the hub machine, your orcabox in the vfstab entries above, you should now be
able to run orca:
I update all dependencies. Still we are getting same problem.
Am not understanding where it is error showing.
After complition of all dependencies above error has come.
For that what should i do?
I installed orcaware (including orcallator) onto a sun solaris system
(uname -a : SunOS xua0s058 5.9 Generic_118558-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000 ) using the following packages:
1: unpack the orca-0.2.7.tar in a directory (/opt is a good option)
2: unpack the Pod-Simple-3.0.7.tar
3: unpack the podlators-2.2.2.tar
4: compile Pod-Simple-3.0.7 ( this will create the Simple module in perl)
5: compile podlators-2.2.2 (this wil create the pod2man, pod2html, pod2text etc.)
6: compile orca-0.2.7 using the following syntax: ./configure --prefix=/opt/ --with-html-dir=/opt/html/
This worked for me
Note: if you have problems with the make of orca using CC instead of gcc just create a soft link named cc to gcc.
Sys admin has provided me username and password and advised that solaris uses nis (and then I've been given hostnames).
I've downloaded putty but it gives me authentication failure. Nothing special I have to do if its NIS authentication? (1 Reply)
Hi,
I've two Solaris 10 installed with jumpstart about 3 month ago.
Now, I need to compare the both servers to see if all the configurations, installed software and so on are identical.
How to proceed? Should I check each file with diff or is it a quicker solution?
Best regards,

Hi all.
Im working in a telco Environment and recently setup a new server. The other servers are a combination of Solaris + Linux machines.

Got 5-6 Solaris 10 servers in remote location - power work being done.
At the moment, we just back up the application database that these servers run with the idea that if it all goes wrong we can rebuild and then restore the application.
However, requirement is to provide a complete backup... (3 Replies)
I am the new jr admin on a solaris team (2 people). We have over 40 solaris servers (v8 and v9) yet no LDAP to manage it all. Is this unusual?
So, if we need to add a new user, we have to add him 40x.
Thanks in advance

Hi Friends
I am a Solaries newbie and I am looking out for a software or command or config that can capture all commands run by all users on a server on a daily basis. I believe that this Audit is being done in almost all enterprises and would like to know how the same is done there.

Hi All
I have a few sun servers(5.9) on xyz.com domain.
I have to integrate these servers with the Windows AD of another domain,say abc.com. My sun servers should use the AD of abc.com for user authentication.
I am thinking of implementing NIS. But not too sure whether it will work. Can... (3 Replies)

hello
I want to compare settings on 2 servers.
1] what is the command to ssh on servers and execute commands such as
prtconf | grep Memory

Does anyone have any advice on what print servers to use with Solaris I used to use intel but they dicontinued the model we used. I would just use lpadmin to set them up . Any advice on this would be very helpful. (2 Replies)
