Even with the relatively fast internal IDE drive (7200RPM) swapping seems to hurt performance more than with SCSI disks. An inexpensive Symbios 53c875 SCSI card would be the first thing I would recommend if you think you will expand your storage or get faster disks.

Workstation. There isn't a difference in the base OS, the server kit just gives you a different license and some add-on software. > I was told that if I allow users to access web or database services, I need > the server license. This is kind of a touchy area. The old definition of a server was a machine that exports more filesystems than it imports, but the new one is more complicated. On the other hand, certain exemptions are given for hobby or nonprofit use. IANAL so I suggest you read the fine print of the license agreements, but see below. > do you know if the Solaris 7 server licensed software offers more > functionality? Yes. The server kit comes bundled with add-ons including Disksuite (manages RAID arrays, does fs journaling, etc). If you can wait a month you'll be able to get Solaris 8 bundled with that machine. Sun is finally returning to their earlier licensing style, the OS will be free for all use on machines under 8 CPU's. This could save you quite a bit if you can wait. -James From gangren at scripps.edu Tue Feb 29 19:50:32 2000 From: gangren at scripps.edu (Gang Ren) Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 17:50:32 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Sunhelp] /etc/hosts.le0 lost Message-ID: Hello, Will and friends, Thanks alot for reply my email about my question.

We also have two E3500's that are running Netview 6000 and Solaris 2.6. About once or twice a week the AIX machines lock up. When they do, our Solaris machines IP go belly up. We can't even ping a IP address. We have 3 Ultra 5's running both Solaris 2.6 and 7 and they go belly up also. They don't lock up, but when you try and ping, telnet or ftp to a IP address (not a DNS name), they just sit there. The minute the AIX machine is rebooted and back up, the Solaris machines come back to us. What causes us to loose ICMP? DNS should have nothing to do with us pinging a direct IP address, only a DNS entry... why does it stall like this? Any ideas would be helpful, we use these E3500 to manage our network with approx. 12,500 devices on it and it really hurts when we loose the servers. BTW - We have two new Suns that will replace the AIX machines... but we are in the middle of a project that does not allow us to take the time to fix the problem. Hopefully over the next two or three weeks we can get them replaced.

The faster bus and bigger cache help a lot. The Creator3D on the Ultra 1 will be much faster for regular 2D bitblitting and tremendously faster for anything involving shaded 3D. The hard drive on the Ultra 5 is larger, but slow. The Ultra 5 has a faster expansion bus for "typical" use (PCI). SCSI cards and the like for the U5 are cheap and faster than the onboard SCSI in the Ultra 1E. Other modern peripherals (like the SunPCi) are only available in PCI form factor. The build quality on the Ultra 1 is far, far better than the Ultra 5. The Ultra 1 does have a history of CPU fan (early revs) and powersupply failures, though. I'd probably lean towards the Ultra 1 myself. Even for "typical" non-graphics use (compiling etc) they will probably run neck and neck as the disk on the Ultra 1 is almost certainly faster. If you want really fast graphics then go with the Ultra 1 for sure. If you take the U1, could you post the part number of the Creator3D card that's installed?

I've used many sbus DAS FDDI boards...every one I've seen has been a dual-width board. Several manufacturers are using the smaller FDDI connectors to fit two on the plate of a PCI board (anyone know what those connectors are called?) but I haven't seen anyone using those connectors to fit two on a single sbus board. I'd suggest using a SAS FDDI board (they're all over the place) and get a small concentrator (with DAS A & B connectors) to put on the ring...then use an M connector (SAS) to go to the SAS FDDI board. It's another box, and it's more expensive, but it'll save you that slot. -Dave McGuire From mcguire at neurotica.com Tue Feb 1 13:11:46 2000 From: mcguire at neurotica.com (Dave McGuire) Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2000 14:11:46 -0500 Subject: [Sunhelp] Re: [SunRescue] SBus FDDI card question Message-ID: On Tue, 01 Feb 2000, James Lockwood wrote: >You want the FDDI/S DAS 5.0 card.

Not many but they do show up. I'll keep my eyes open. Another thing that the original poster could do just occurred to me. The double-wide dual attach cards only use the second sbus slot for power.

The problem is that it won't work, there's no space in the backpanel for the second connector to go.

The patch readme notes a few security fixes, but I dont know if they're for this particular exploit... ftp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub/patches/104490.readme /dale From mrbill at mrbill.net Wed Feb 2 02:39:16 2000 From: mrbill at mrbill.net (Bill Bradford) Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 02:39:16 -0600 Subject: [Sunhelp] quick reminder Message-ID: Can someone remind me how to force 24-bit visuals (not pseudocolor, 24bit) under X using a Creator3D?

Generally you don't have to force a default depth of 24. I've never had to, apps that want 24bpp get it and apps that don't ask get 8bpp and are faster. -James From daleg at elemental.org Wed Feb 2 02:55:33 2000 From: daleg at elemental.org (Dale Ghent) Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 00:55:33 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Sunhelp] about swap Message-ID: On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Tan Jian wrote: | $vmstat 1 3 | procs memory page disk faults cpu | r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr s0 s1 -- -- in sy cs us sy id | | then what swap exactly means and what free means ?

I am trying to forward syslog messages to another machine. This machine (sysA) is receiveing mail errors from sysB, however, when I try to configure other messages to go they don't. Here is the line I added to syslog.conf *.emerg;*.crit;*.alert;*.err @sysa Where sysa is a valid hostname in the host table. did a kill -HUP on the sylog pid. Then to test I tried 'logger -p kern.emerg "test" and see the test messages in the local /var/adm/messages, but not on sysa. Both sysa has a line to put *.emerg messages into /var/adm/test Any help or links to some good refernces would be appreciated.

I got the following infodoc from sun INFODOC ID: 18313 SYNOPSIS: Enabling Solaris 7 64 bit O/S DETAIL DESCRIPTION: Solaris 7 is loaded and has been running in 32-bit mode. The flashprom banner has been turned off; therefore, there is no script assistance for flashprom update. We wish to enable 64-bit OS at boot time. Here's how: The write-disable jumper must be moved on the system board to enable the flashprom update. See the approprate documents to locate the jumper and make it writable. Boot the OS in single user mode: boot -sw The flashprom update is architechure specific. The update file is located in /usr/platform/`uname -i`/prom/`uname -i` in the form of an executable shell script. (This can be derived from the /etc/init.d/flashprom script.) Execute this script to flash the prom: /sbin/sh /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/prom/`uname -i` This updates the prom, however, the boot-file must be set to kernel/sparcv9/unix to complete the 64-bit boot mode. Set the OBP environment variable using the eeprom command, viz eeprom boot-file=kernel/sparcv9/unix and reboot. I had already done the flashprom update thing but we have since wiped and reloaded the system. Do I need to redo the flashprom update to enable this???

See the Sun Hardware Platform Guide for details. If the 64-bit kernel packages are installed and boot detects that the platform needs a firmware upgrade to run 64-bit, boot displays a message on the console and chooses the 32-bit kernel as the default file instead. On systems containing 200MHz or lower UltraSPARC-1 proces- sors, it is possible for a user to run a 64-bit program designed to exploit a problem that could cause a processor to stall. Since 64-bit progams cannot run on the 32-bit ker- nel, the 32-bit kernel is chosen as the default file on these systems. The code sequence that exploits the problem is very unusual and is not likely to be generated by a compiler. Assembler code had to be specifically written to demonstrate the prob- lem. It is highly unlikely that a legitimate handwritten assembler routine would use this code sequence. Users willing to assume the risk that a user might acciden- tally or deliberately run a program that was designed to cause a processor to stall may choose to run the 64-bit ker- nel by modifying the boot policy file. Edit /platform/platform-name/boot.conf so that it contains an uncommented line with the variable named ALLOW_64BIT_KERNEL_ON_UltraSPARC_1_CPU set to the value true as shown in the example that follows: ALLOW_64BIT_KERNEL_ON_UltraSPARC_1_CPU=true For more information, see the Sun Hardware Platform Guide. I just did this yesterday on an Ultra1. Works fine.

I saw very few replies, so this may be useful information. I purchased 2 packs of Dataram 512Meg memory for testing. The Ultra 5/333 system booted quite happily with one or both packs installed. In each case it recognised all the memory I had installed. The only problem was that the memory is considerably taller then the original boards. So with the 512s in Place you can't reload the floppy drive. So you can have extra memory, but have to dispense with a floppy drive. A good exchange in my opinion.

MemoryX sells low profile 512MB kits that allow you to keep the floppy drive, if you wish. I don't care personally as I pull the floppy on any machines that will be used as servers, makes it that much easier to get to the memory in the future. -James From srikanta.nayak at cablecom.ch Thu Feb 3 11:46:48 2000 From: srikanta.nayak at cablecom.ch (Srikanta Nayak) Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 18:46:48 +0100 Subject: [Sunhelp] help on tcp-wrapper 7.6 Message-ID: --------------9249C0778757A2F3DB29A1F5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Friends.

Nope, and you should be booted into 64-bit mode, by default, I think. :) (watch your boot messages...)

However, something I've noticed thats a bit strange - the system seems to chew up a LOT of CPU when its sitting "idle", when I'm not here (this is my desktop at home). Check out http://www.sunhelp.org/images/cpumeter.jpg This is "wmmon" - a WindowMaker doc app that monitors CPU usage, I/O, etc. I had it set to the CPU usage graph (similar to "xload") all day. The "valley" in the graph, noting CPU usage going DOWN, was when I *got home for the day*. The little "hill" afterwards is me reading some mail and firing up GIMP for the screenshot. My wonders - what is happening during the day that is causing the high CPU load at idle? Nothing is running in the background, no seti or rc5 clients, just netscape and a couple of RXVTs open (no animations on the netscape web page open either). Could the DPMS portion of the X server be using this much CPU while just polling for keyboard/mouse activity to know when to turn the monitor back on?

It would have to be more than just a simple transceiver since you would be talking two very different protocols. You would probably need something more like a bridge which would provide buffering of packets and translation in each direction. If all you want to do is extend the range of RS232, we have a media converter which when used in pairs will extend RS232 signaling up to 2,000 meters using fiber.

Different log files across the partitions. 5. Different control files across the partitions. 6. Indexes on separate partition. 7. If possible split the temp table space's into 2 files and keep across the partitions. that's all from me. Hope this information is sufficient.

It doesn't have much to do with the server, but the integration with the mail client. The palm software works REALLY well with Outlook 98 and 2000. The reason that it works so well is because of the mapping between applications on the palm pilot and the folders in outlook work well. The only reason that Exchange matters is that it's designed with Outlook as a client, and thus keeps all of it's information on the server. I would think that you could achieve similar things with the Netscape solution, with a little bit of research. This isn't totally clear, sorry, the boss is trying to talk to me... Let me know if I can provide more details or clarify this.

I'll second this proposal, as long as it covers terminal/modem/network/user security. Maybe this would also be a good area to cover with a FAQ, simple things you can do, gotchas, etc. IMHO, the Solaris documentation is pretty sparse on security, c.f. the Red Hat Linux 6.1 Reference Guide.

Even permissions changes require you to restart the Exchange Directory Service.

Message-ID: It depends on what your typical use of the machine will be. As an all-around work-horse, I think both are a bit slow nowadays, compared to newer machines. Well, I had a 2-CPU Sparc 20 (75Mhz) as my primary work machine, which I just loved. And, in fact, I was going to buy a used Sparc for my home. But then I saw the deals Sun was offering on the Ultra 5s on Ebay. For $2k (!), you get a brand new Ultra 5 AND a 19 inch monitor AND they pay for shipping. Well, I just got mine, it's a great machine, and you just can't beat that price. I'm planning to spend maybe another $1,500 on it in the near future to upgrade to a SCSI disk system and to add more RAM (it came with 64MB). I figured I would have spent about that much to get and fix up a second-hand Sparc 20 (not the 10, though), i.e., with extra VRAM to enable the SX buffer, get some better disks in it, etc. So I would say going for the Ultras (at this price) might be a better choice.

You just said, 'really depends on what your're doing..' But I'm thinking "Faster with what?" I'd think my SS5 110 would be faster than your SS10 for web browsing (I think) and places where low memory latency is key. So, what are you doing that the SS10 is faster? Also: What, if anything, does the SS5 do faster? -Jonathan From trims at netdemons.com Fri Feb 11 00:54:18 2000 From: trims at netdemons.com (Erik Trimble) Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 06:54:18 +0000 Subject: [Sunhelp] Adding a New drive to a Sparc 4?? Message-ID: Hi folks. I just got an old sparc 4, and needed to install a drive for it. I managed to get a Seagate ST32550WC (SCSI-2, SCA, 7200RPM) drive, and installed it. However, when I try to install an OS (either OpenBSD, or Solaris 7), I get what looks like SCSI timeouts. Under OpenBSD, the error is: sd0: sd0(esp0:3:0): esp0: timed out [ecb 0xf898f88c (flags 0x1, dleft 0, stat 0)], And the OS shuts off access to that drive, and can't install to it. :-( I don't have any jumpers set on the drive, and it reports normally under a "probe-scsi" at the PROM level (ie, it's identified as "Target 3 Unit 0 Disk Seagate ST32550W SUN2.1G041600000000" ) I was under the assumption that this should be terminated by the Sparc itself, as the there are no termination settings on SCA drives. Can someone give me a hint? Is the drive bad (it's just bought from a reseller, but it could be bad...)? Am I doing something wrong? Is this drive incompatible with a Sparc 4?

I know it is *possible* to boot from tape, but I haven't met anyone who actually does it with Solaris 2.x, 7, 8, .... As far as I know, what you need to do is use 'ufsdump' to dump each file system in sequence to tape, (no-rewind device). When you need to recover you then: o Boot from your Solaris CD. o Remake the partitions on your disks, and build filesystems on them. o Restore the ufsdumps to the disk. o Use installboot to install a boot block on your root disk. o Reboot with your newly restored system. Compare this (simple but lengthy) process with the equivalent in AIX: o Boot the box, (AIX boxes take a very long time to boot in my experience) o From the boot prompt select the maintenance option to restore the mksysb image. o Reboot your newly restored system.

The NFS bootblock worked as a tape bootblock last time I checked. The Solaris installation program isn't set up to restore files off of tape, but there's no reason why you couldn't write a small program to do an autorestore ala AIX. > Maybe we can get something better than ufsdump/ufsrestore in Solaris 9, (or is > it in Sol-8?) > ufsdump and ufsrestore serve exactly the purpose that they are intended for, the dumping and restoration of file systems. One really nice thing about Suns is how easy it is to set up net booting. I make my backup server a netboot server as well and give it enough scratch space to restore all of the files on a client system drive. A short script is run on netboot instead of the suninstall program, this script partitions the internal drive, restores all system partitions, writes the bootblock, then reboots. System restore is as simple as selecting the filesets to restore off of tape, which also enables the netboot for the specified machine. Do a boot net on the client machine and everything is done in 20 minutes. There is no reason whatsoever not to automate this. -James From bobkey at weedcon1.cropsci.ncsu.edu Fri Feb 11 12:31:00 2000 From: bobkey at weedcon1.cropsci.ncsu.edu (BSD Bob) Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 13:31:00 -0500 (EST) Subject: [Sunhelp] boot tape ( re :) Message-ID: > One really nice thing about Suns is how easy it is to set up net booting. > I make my backup server a netboot server as well and give it enough > scratch space to restore all of the files on a client system drive.

There's no way to increase the inode density on a created UFS fs without newfs'ing it with the desired density... in other words, it's not some parameter that can be changed with "tunefs" and in a non-destructable manner. If you need to increase inode density, then I suggest backing the data on that partition off to tape or another partition that has space, then newfs'ing with the new density, then moving the data back into place. I think that the max bytes per inode is 16k (lowest inode denisty) and the lowest is 1k (each inode consumes about 512bytes of space) /dale From avilensk1966 at yahoo.com Fri Feb 11 21:23:51 2000 From: avilensk1966 at yahoo.com (Alex Vilensky) Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2000 19:23:51 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Sunhelp] Linker errors Message-ID: Hi.

Pros/cons/advice? Cachefs can be a significant win in read-only applications, as long as each page is accessed enough to compensate for the write hit on first access. For your application, however, I'd recommend going with a proxy web cache solution for the front end. Modern proxy caches are still significantly faster than full featured webservers for serving static or near-static data, and your data will be stored in a more optimized form on the front end. For the best results, you might want to use a cache hierarchy 2 levels deep with a single proxy cache/webserver sitting in front of the E450 and the rest of the caches feeding off of that. Many people have used this to great effect. Both free and commercial offerings are quite functional at this point.

The command: /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d Will disable the startup of X. I also recommend going through inetd.conf and disabling the services you know you have no use for, and going through /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc3.d and disabling those services you dont need as well (rename the files so that they have a small "s" instead of a uppercased one to prevent them from being ran on bootup.) MU2 (Maintenence Update 2) is rather old, and the latest is MU4, which brings things up to a pretty current state (11/99 equivalency.) MU4 can be had at access1.sun.com. There is also the Recommended patchset, that is freely available from sunsolve: ftp://sunsolve.sun.com/pub/patches/7_Recommended.zip Install MU4 first, then the Recommended cluster. /dale From jeisch at boku.net Sun Feb 13 18:53:39 2000 From: jeisch at boku.net (Jonathan Eisch) Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 18:53:39 -0600 Subject: [Sunhelp] Solaris 7 pointers Message-ID: Dale Ghent wrote: {clip} > MU2 (Maintenence Update 2) is rather old, and the latest is MU4, which > brings things up to a pretty current state (11/99 equivalency.)

Constant mirroring will be slow and will require either special software or a good deal of coding. Mirroring at periodic intervals is easy to accomplish. Run a short script out of cron that iterates through the partitions you want to copy and either does a dd or a ufsdump/ufsrestore. If you wanted to use ufsdump as your dump format and ssh as a network transport, you would do something like: ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/whatever |ssh mirrorhost (cd /wherever; ufsrestore xf -) By playing with dump levels you can minimize the amount of data sent over the network as well as making sure that you don't have "dead time" where the mirror partition is erased before the next restore. -James From info at digital-concepts.net Sat Feb 12 23:45:49 2000 From: info at digital-concepts.net (Chris Ihlenfeld) Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2000 00:45:49 -0500 Subject: [Sunhelp] Telnet problem -- please help Message-ID: All of a sudden, last week, telnet and console login stopped working.

It's a deskside Sun SPARCServer. Weighs about, erk, 150lbs(if memory serves me correctly). Has a drive cabinet(four 5.25" drive slots; two on each side of the front; and a four spaces for hard drives in the back). The drive cabinet is composed of two drive trays, if I haven't been able to paint the picture too well. The VME chassis in the back has 16 slots, if you don't include the power supply(12 open, if you do). The motherboard has 32 SIMM slots onboard(30-pin parity RAM, if I recall correctly). It also has onboard SCSI-2, 4 SBus slots, 2 MBus slots, audio, a partridge in a pear-tree, and a couple of 25-pin EIA-232. It only requires 120V power, unlike it's big brother the 4/690MP which requires 240V. If memory serves me correctly, you can load the system with up to four processors(via two SMxx2 processor modules) and 640MB of RAM.

What do you mean that you still couldn't get in? Booting from the CD shouldn't use any files from the hard disk. The 3 or 4 times that I've done the same thing (except with tcsh), I've been able to ok boot cdrom -s and change the entry in /etc/passwd back to /bin/sh and reboot.

The Netra 150 is a perversion of an Ultra 1/170 in a tower chassis that looks like it was hit by a rampaging foam blow-packer. Other than the difficulty of opening the case it's straightforward. It has 8 DIMM slots and memory is installed in pairs. You probably have 256MB "kits" (2 128MB DIMMs) and a pair of 128MB DIMMs already installed. If so open up the box, look for where the existing modules are installed, and install the next pair in the next available slots. That should be sufficient. This procedure is also covered in more depth in the Netra 150 maintenance manual, which can be downloaded or viewed at docs.sun.com. I recommend printing a hardcopy for reference if you have lost the original manual. -James From mahal at get-outdoors.com Tue Feb 15 13:32:39 2000 From: mahal at get-outdoors.com (jeet) Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 11:32:39 -0800 Subject: [Sunhelp] netra memory upgrade Message-ID: James, thanks for your help on the board install. we got the boards in without too much problem, our problem is with the OS mapping the additional mem. do we need to reconfigure open boot?

All I can do is trust what he has told me.

Your only real choices are Solaris 2.x and Linux. Net/OpenBSD is working on support but it is not mature. There are also several operating systems designed for embedded applications that will run, but they would not be useful for a typical desktop or server machine. Linux runs but support for hardware is hit and miss. Unless you have a real reason to avoid it I would go with Solaris, the recent versions are quite mature and fast. An Ultra 1 would be very quick as long as it had a reasonable amount of memory (64MB and up). -James From sunhelp at orn.net Wed Feb 16 14:37:32 2000 From: sunhelp at orn.net (sunhelp at orn.net) Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2000 15:37:32 -0500 (EST) Subject: [Sunhelp] hosed up root login...

Is this guy by any chance a Windows NT turned Solaris admin? The old - "blow it all away to fix one little thing" sounds awfully familiar. If he had been more careful and persistant the cdrom boot WOULD have worked just fine. It pays to have patience, sometimes. Now the next time that this happens to him, he *still* won't know how to properly fix it. For people who cannot resist the urge to edit the passwd file directly, Sun made admintool -> you cannot ruin the root shell using admintool. Food for his thought.

My only point was that if that is the admin's inclination(to blow things away instead of fixing them) he had better learn to use admintool instead. That way there won't be anything to fix.

If he No, he has been a VAX Admin for 8 years and then moved over to System V about 4 years ago, but the dept. he was in never upgraded it, so he has been using the version they first installed 4 years ago.

Well.. this is where I fall in. I have never had this situation come up because I am VERY paranoid with the root account anyway. Yet, I seamed to remember something from the Sun class I went to where the instructor had said that there was some way to get back in through single user... ... thus I asked the question to the group... and the learning continues.

Cristian: Man, nothing happened to "make"... It's only bec. you don't seem to have any C compiler (properly) installed on your machine... (have you tried ./configure first??)

And what would you expect? Sun has a better intimate knowledge of the SPARC architecture than the EGCS/GCC group, and much more expierence writing compilers for it. GCC is a really nice compiler, but I expect that most comertial Solaris applications are compiled using Sun's workshop, with some relatively agressive optimization options. I don't want you to take this as a knock on GCC, since I use it all the time (sun workshop for SPARC was an 800MB download!!!!), but I'd expect Sun's compiler to be better, especially for the Ultras. People don't write free code for anything other than GNU make, and GCC, which poses problems. As for the problems that the original poster was commenting on, write the authors and tell them that their programs are broken, and if you can, send fixes.

You'll have to read some man pages like pkgadd(1M), pgkinfo(1)... For example the following command will tell you more about the package gzip-1.2.4-sol26-sparc-local: $ cd WHERE_YOU_HAVE_SAVED_YOUR_DOWNLOADS $ pkginfo -d gzip-1.2.4-sol26-sparc-local -l After installing gzip/gunzip you'll be able to un(g)zip the make-3.76.1-sol26-sparc-local.gz, gcc-2.8.1-sol26-sparc-local.gz packages and install them too...

Are you using suEXEC? If so, read the documentation for this very carefully indeed. In fact, I couldn't find a way to get the darned thing working without setting up virtual hosts for it to use. If not try: 1. The documentation area of the apache web site. (RTFM???) 2. One of the internet newsgroups, (if you ain't got a news feed, you can always use Deja or one of the other HTML news-feeders. 3. This list? If you want, I'd be willing to TRY and help. I'm running a small Apache install with suEXEC and mod_perl installed on AIX (IBM's Unix). But, I guess the concepts would be the same. Bob Cross.

I'm not certain whether or not the monitors support composite sync. I have tried a 17" Relisys (fairly generic/unknown monitor) and a 15" Magnavox without success. I figured I would need to use ffbconfig to tell the framebuffer to use the same settings as the convertor, but that avenue has turned up dead as well. This system I bought is not new, though I would say that it is in relatively good condition. The boot PROM is 3.11.1. I will try to check on the manufacturer's websites to see if either of these monitors supports composite sync. I would really like to avoid having to purchase another monitor (beyond money it's a question of room!), but if I have to, which do you recommend and how much should it cost me on average?

Solution --------- SRDB 14006 ========== Review the 3000/4000/5000/6000 SMCC Platform Notes regarding the OpenBoot PROM "copy-clock-tod-to-io-boards" command. This command will resolve the problem if the cause is that the redundant NVRAM on an IO does not have a valid copy of the TOD. The message was first noticed when the system was power cycled. To fix this problem, install the FlashPROM update (OBP 3.2.3 version) via patch 103346-02( the latest is rev -24) (which will update the code in ALL FlashPROMs on the cpu/memory and IO Boards (if not already at 3.2.3). The first byte of the OBP checksum is kept in the TODC/NVRAM. Because of a bug in the hardware, the first byte was getting zeroed out This happens during the power cycle. FYI, Workaround ---------- A little on clock-board command at the ok prompt ================================================ TODC Management --------------- TODC is the acronym for Time Of Day Clock (this includes the NVRAM). copy-clock-tod-to-io-boards Usage: copy-clock-tod-to-io-boards Purpose: To copy the contents of the clock board NVRAM and the contents of the TOD clock to all good I/O boards in the system. Note: This is automatic if all the conditions below are true: 1. There is a functioning clock board in the system. 2. Its contents match that of at least one I/O board in the system. copy-io-board-tod-to-clock-tod Usage: x copy-io-board-tod-to-clock-tod Where x = slot number of I/O board NOTE: this i/o board number must be a hexadecimal value. Purpose: To update the contents of a clock board (probably new) with the contents from one of the backup I/O board copies. Note - This may have to be done if the clock board was replaced and the user wants to restore its original NVRAM. Try this out and remmeber to take precaution in installing ANY such patches!

There's a bit of a trick to force the box to display separate sync though, using certain video resolutions on the Sun (VESA standards?) 640x480x60 800x600x75 .. and a bunch of others.

Change your display using ffbconfig/m64config/GFXconfig/whatever in a console prompt .. and then see if your Window manager pops up okay or not. You may have to throw a vt100 console on just to fix it up.. but this worked fine for me with a video projector. My only issue was artifacting at 800x600 @ 8bpp .. but changing it to 24bpp fixed it (at any resolution).

For the SS1+ any flavor of Linux (i.e. Mandrake, RedHat, Debian) should do just fine. Just yesterday, I installed OpenBSD 2.6 on a SPARCstation2 at work (better than having that old hardware just sit around and do nothing). It's a much smaller footprint than Solaris or Linux (the entire OS installed a 150 MB root partition and I've got ~1.8GB still to go on the disks! Anyway, so far as I know, the Sun4c architecture is still considered some- what "secondary support" as far as RedHat is concerned; from what I understand, that means that it may crash unexpectedly (though not often from what I've heard) for unknown reasons. I don't know why they would say that, but they did a while back when I was looking to install it on an older SPARC myself. RedHat seemed to consider the sun4m architecture as the first "primary" support platform.

If you still can't find it, make sure you have the following packages installed on your system: for tools (sccs, lex, yacc, make, nm, truss, ld, as): SUNWbtool, SUNWsprot, SUNWtoo for libraries & headers: SUNWhea, SUNWarc, SUNWlibm, SUNWlibms, SUNWdfbh, SUNWcg6h, SUNWxwinc, SUNWolinc, SUNWxglh for 64 bit development: SUNWarcx, SUNWbtoox, SUNWdplx, SUNWscpux, SUNWsprox, SUNWtoox for ucb compat: SUNWsra, SUNWsrh These packages are all on the Solaris 2.x CDs, except that some packages may only exist in some releases and not in others.

I wholeheartedly concur with Ido who suggested OpenBSD. I have run them all on my machines, and if you want serious unix on a sparc, run OpenBSD, amongst the freebies, period. NetBSD is good, but not quite where OpenBSD is in ease of install and general functionality..... I say that and I am a NetBSD VAX freak! On my sparcs I run OpenBSD and be happy. I do that for a reason. It works. Use the 2.6 release or the 2.6+ current snapshot. Linux is so-so. It crashes too often for me to be comfy with it. I have to depend upon my sparcs (sun4 and sun4c) to be up when I may have monkeywrenches going sideways through everything else. OpenBSD just plain works, on sparcs. I like that comfy feeling. Them be my thoughts and experiences.... That dern' suthern mint julep' a'sippin' Bob as opposed ta dat danged Yankee feller bob.....(:+}}...

Even though this isn't going to power a nuclear power plant, that mission critical durability would still be a nice feature.

The two parallel lines are (ta da!) a parallel port. The other label represents an ethernet port, you can plug a breakout cable into there to get an AUI connector. > Also, is there a way to hook a pc printer to a sparc..parallel printer? You'll need a cable to go from the funky SS20 parallel connector to a C36. These are usually fairly expensive ($50+) but Pi Manufacturing has the best deal I've seen ($25.80). Check out www.pimfg.com, you want p/n 530-1857. The same cable is used for the Sparc 10 and 20. -James From alschult at vt.edu Mon Feb 28 12:28:56 2000 From: alschult at vt.edu (A.

Ah, but which one? The dual slot ZX, or the onboard VSIMM? :) I haven't been able to find any good prices on fast MBUS modules. Even with someone manufacturing them new prices on the used ones haven't dropped. I was hoping that the supply would increase enough that I could get a decent price (~$200) on some SM81s or similar.

Note that the lpvi sbus card also includes a parallel port with a funky connector, but it's a _different_ funky connector (2 more pins). Argh! > The other one is AAUI ethernet.

Even using cat-v, we have some HUGE bundles of cables for our wiring plant, in excess of 6-inches in diameter. It made sense for our VAX, since it had ethernet to other computers, and everybody was expected to be working from one of the 50+ serial ports on it, but for anything else???

Remember that with UTP you have cables going from every machine to your switch/hub, but with 10base5 or 10base2 you only have one cable per segment. With a few dozen machines per segment the amount of cable is much less than with 10baseT. That was one of the big issues with 10baseT rollouts a few years back. The star topology is more maintainable but requires more cable for the same performance when connected to a hub. 10baseT switches were fantastically expensive in the early days so most of the performance advantages to a star topology were unrealized. Back in "the old days" you would have anywhere from 1 to 10 sections of 10base2 per floor, each of which would plug into a repeater in a wiring closet and then connect to the central computer room (first using copper, eventually fiber became commonplace). Some smaller installations ran coax all the way and didn't bother with repeaters. High end setups would use a FDDI or similar backbone and ethernet bridges to feed each floor. -James From gangren at scripps.edu Mon Feb 28 20:03:26 2000 From: gangren at scripps.edu (Gang Ren) Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2000 18:03:26 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Sunhelp] /etc/hosts.le0 lost Message-ID: Dear Sir/Madam, I renamed my /etc/hosts.le0 to another name by mistake, so I cann't boot my SUN SPAC/IPX.

I've got an odd problem: I've got a Sparc 5 with a X1056 Sun Fast Ethernet SBus card (be interface), running Solaris 2.6. That's not the odd bit. Wait for it. :) Anyway, I know this card isn't supported under 2.6, and you have to grab the 2.3 patch to get the be_speed util to change the speed on the card. For about 1.5 years, I've never had a problem with it. Until, that is, the past few weeks. Up until a few weeks ago, this thing was in a Cycle 5. I finally got around to copying the root disk over to the Sparc 5, moving the cards over, and getting everything back up and running. The only oddness I had, besides some serious difficulty getting the system to boot at all without doing some wacky debugging in /dev and /devices, was that instead of having le0 and be0, I how have le1 and be2. I could also never get the be interface to connect at 100Mbps until the changeover, even though it's been connected to a 10/100 autosensing switch. Now, every so often, the be interface will seem to lock up -- no traffic in or out. Established sessions will die. A quick ping to the inside and outside interface IPs will usually get things going again, although occasionally I have to log in and restart NAT (I'm using Darren Reed's excellent ip_filter package for both firewalling and NAT. Again, the only thing that's changed here in 1.5 years has been the motherboard and the physical hard drive the data's been stored on). It is always the be interface; there's never any lockup, freeze, or hesitation with the le interface. So, I'm at a loss; there are no errors being logged at all, and the behavior's indicative of a software problem, though the only thing that's changed has been the hardware. I'm planning on upgrading to the newest version of ip_filter this weekend, so maybe that'll fix the problem, though I never thought it was that hardware dependent. Has anyone ever seen anything similar to this? Does anyone know if there's a plain second 10^T Ethernet SBus card for a Sparc 5? (I don't want a qfe, and the 501-1881 isn't for the 5.) -- Mark C.

When you move devices around Solaris will attempt to assign them different device numbers. It can't tell the difference between a card removal/installation and a card move, so it does the safe thing and assumes that someday the card in the old slot will come back to claim its inheritance. This should not be a problem. Reinstall the OS if it is at all possible. Moving boot disks between different machines in the same karch is possible but you get strange things cropping up like this. I'm not sure if it is ipfilters fault or not, but I'd do a reinstall in any event. Running a be in 2.6 or above is strange enough that you don't want to add any more complications. > Has anyone ever seen anything similar to this?

Sure it is: Ethernet Controller Sun-4/15/30/40/50/60/65/75 SS4 / SS5 Options 450 / 453 501-1881 Bottom line, almost any sbus card will work in any sbus based machine. The exceptions are few and are generally confined to cards that do not have driver software for sun4c or those that require specific PROM revisions.
