Hello Saim,
Solaris and AIX - both are different flavours - but still UNIX.
ls -l|wc -l (calculate the no. of files in the current dir)
ls -la|wc -l (calculate the no. of files in the current dir including hidden
ones)
ls -lR|wc -l (calculate the no. of files in the current dir and beneath -
with subdirectories)
ls -laR|wc -l (calculate the no. of files in the current dir and beneath
including the hidden ones)
find . -type f |wc -l (find all files and calculate the number including
whatever files in the subdirectoris beneath)
find . -type d|wc -l (find all dirs and calculate the number including
whatever subdirectoris beneath)
Just check the prune option with the find (man find) for more info.
Regards,
Rasheed Tamton.

Definately worth using the RSM tray.
There's some F/W differential sbus cards on ebay now for under $10.

Also the reliability of the ones I have used in production in the past & at
home now has been excellent. As I previously mentioned (I think), it is
also nice to be able to locate the rather noisy array tray a fair distance
away from your workstation. The 2 big fans in the back of the tray keep the
drives nice and cool.
Also be sure that your SCSI cable is compatible.

Hello Gurus,
Greetings !!
My question is :
In my environment, i have 700 sun blade 150/100, all are binded to NIS.
One of my user wants to have the root access of the machine but also want
the machine to be on the network. My all the clients machines are binded to
the NIS slave servers and in my NIS master server i have also configure the
securenets which has the entry of only NIS slave servers.
Is there any way out, if i can make sure that client machine will be on the
n/w but not binded to any of the NIS servers.
thanks in advance for your response.

I know a bit about NIS, but I don't really understand your question, maybe
you can rephrase in simpler sentence.
What's a securenets?
Do you want to remove one of the machine from NIS?
If you want to give a user root access, what's the problem of just giving
the root passwd of that particular machine to him?
How's the machine being in the network relates to the NIS? I think you can
just remove the machine from NIS, and configure everything using local files
and still able to access the network, or you can also combine the use of of
local files and NIS.

Hello Marek,
df -k /dumpfiles
or to be sure
cd /dumpfiles
df -k . (dot)
It should show what file system yor are in; it must be c0t9d0s0; if it is
correctly mounted.

After saving the files, I mounted /dumpfiles, changed 'mount at boot' to
'yes' in /etc/vfstab, and copied the files back.
Thank you for your reply.

I would agree with Yazid. On 2 counts - I also know a Little about NIS.
Used it a lot in past
years but have not implemented it in at least 5 years.
However, UNLESS you have set the root password on ALL the machines to be the
same (big no-no), but in that case you need to change the root password of
JUST the machine on which this user needs root.
Above all don't pass out the NIS root password.
Alternatively install sudo - that user can blow up his/her own machine but
cannot do anything to any other box on which they do not have sudo
privileges.
I'd need more info before I could really help you much. I am sure that you
know NIS enough to know that when you look at the password file on the
client machine the user probably has no account there. No account - no
password unless you are using a combination of local accounts & passwords
AND nis accounts and passwords (shudder).
but that each client box does have a root, sys, and so forth that are local
only to that box.
Are you using NIS or NIS+. (NIS being kind of a security no-no)

Hello Amit,
By using a different setup than your standard one, I assume the said server
is not a production one.
Also, it is almost five years since I administered a NIS domain. So, can't
remember all the issues. But this might work:
Just stop all the yp services on the client.
/usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstop (man ypstop/ypstart for more info)
You can test whether it is stopped by using ps -ef|grep yp domainame or
ypcat hosts
Modify the /etc/nsswitch.conf ; update/remove nis with files and add all the
hostnames you want to access in the /etc/hosts.
Change the root pw and give to that privileged person to play with your
out-of-NIS system.
Regards,
Rasheed Tamton.

If you want to give a user root access, what's the problem of just giving
the root passwd of that particular machine to him?
How's the machine being in the network relates to the NIS? I think you can
just remove the machine from NIS, and configure everything using local files
and still able to access the network, or you can also combine the use of of
local files and NIS.

Subject: [SunHELP] Sun Fire X2100 IPMI
To: sunhelp at sunhelp.org
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.10.10604252226490.8297-100000 at azathoth>
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
I have a Sun Fire X2100 with the IPMI option card, which I fitted myself.
The machine is installed with Solaris 10 1/06 from a downloaded DVD ISO.
I have downloaded the supplemental CD v1.3 and flashed the BIOS up to
1.09
and the IPMI firmware up to 4.12. I have configured the IPMI IP address,
netmask, and passwords using the util.exe tool.
Using ipmitool 1.8.7 compiled from source on a nearby Solaris 8 box (with
--enable-solaris-opt --disable-shared) the IPMI seems to be working fine on
the second (bge) ethernet port as expected:
$ ./src/ipmitool -H 192.168.1.11 -U Admin -P xxx sensor list
DDR 2.6V | 2.600 | Volts | ok | na | 2.496
| na | na | 2.704 | na
CPU core Voltage | 1.416 | Volts | ok | na | 0.796
| na | na | 1.556 | na
[...snip...]
Apart from this I am having problems.
Firstly, I can't get the "bmc" driver to load on Solaris. I've tried
"devfsadm -i bmc" and a reconfiguration boot. The devfsadm command just
gives me the error "devfsadm: driver failed to attach: bmc". I found one
other person having this same problem using Google but no-one had suggested
a solution. Solaris 10 1/06 includes the 120081-02 bmc driver patch, so it's
not that.
Without the "bmc" driver I cannot use IPMI locally to monitor the machine
status. This is less important than the remote network connection to IPMI,
but I still want it to work, and it may be indicative of some underlying
problem.
Secondly, I can't get the IPMI to share the network port with the OS.
Currently I have the IPMI on 192.168.1.11 on bge0 (second port) and the OS
on 192.168.1.10 on bge0 (first port), but I'm going to send this machine to
the colo soon and they charge an extra monthly fee for extra switch ports
and IP addresses, so I'd like to avoid this if at all possible.
I'm pretty sure that it's possible to share both the network port and even
the IP address. As far as I know the X2100 is based on the Tyan 2865
motherboard. A friend uses these motherboards and IPMI cards under Linux at
work and says that it shares the port fine. I also found this blog
entry:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/shepler?entry=port_623_or_the_mount
suggesting that the V65x Sun Xeon servers could share the port and even the
IP address for IPMI.
If I plumb the bge0 interface, assign it an IP address (either a different
IP address, or the same one as the IPMI card) and bring it up then the IPMI
seems to stop responding and will not respond in the future even if the
interface is unplumbed.
Additionally, I have at least once had the IPMI simply stop responding
remotely on its own IP address, even in the absence of any interface
plumbing provocation.
Can anyone shed light? Does this sound like faulty hardware, or do I need to
update some firmware or driver?
The IPMI card is a Tyan M3290, and the util.exe tool is identical to that
supplied by Tyan. The IPMI card ("SMDC") manual is at:
ftp://ftp.tyan.com/software/tso/m3290/manuals/M3289M3290%20v1.0_0915.pdf
but this doesn't mention Solaris.
Tyan's support site also mentions flashing the Broadcom Ethernet ASIC
firmware, and provides the files in:
ftp://ftp.tyan.com/software/tso/m3290/firmware/s2865/BCM5721/6.09/
Is this appropriate on an X2100? Sun supply the SMDC firmware but not the
Broadcom ASIC firmware.
I'd be grateful for any help anyone can offer.
Thanks!
Martin
