Any suggestions on the best driver to use? I assume download one from
the Nvida site?

I'm a newbie to the OpenSolaris world and had pretty much the same exact
experience.

I've not been using OpenSolaris - I had tried Solaris Express, but are having

problems installing that. I think it might be a DVD creation problem now, as

I can get it to boot from a CD properly, but only half-boot from a DVD.

During the install the VESA mode was usable but, alas, there
was no permanent configuration for X installed and the subsequent reboot
after successful install meant no X.

It seems this is a problem, which might be easily fixed. One assumes if a

driver works once, it should work again. But perhaps the issue is during

install the driver is 32-bit, but then needs to be 64-bit - for my Opteron at

least. I'm not sure what CPU you have.

I found that the xorgconfig text based
script produced very close to a functional xorg.conf if the same VESA mode
was used. This at least made X usable but unable to get out of VESA mode as
the nv driver simply wouldn't work.

I'm currently using JDS and found that after installing the new drivers from

the Nvidia site, and and following instructions from here:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=406&num=1

I got it working. Briefly, that needed.

# /usr/X11/bin/scanpci

where it produced an output similar to this for me.

pci bus 0x0004 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10de device 0x0141
nVidia Corporation GeForce 6600 GT

Then I needed to run

# update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,0141"' nvidia.

and do a reconfigure boot.

Should probably mention my card is a PNY 6800GT AGP card on an old KD7A
KT400A chipset mobo. The AGP port driver in FreeBSD did not support this
AGP port

I'm not using AGP, but PCI Express

I realise it must be hard with all the different hardware around, but this

really need to be sorted out whereby failures like this occur. Two things

happened that I think should be avoided.

1) The install picks the wrong driver. There should at that point be a stage

where it tests the driver, tells the user it is testing, and asks them to

report if it works or not. Currently the default is to use it without doing a

test. Sure you can test, but most will not.

2) After selectomg a driver that allows the install to go ahead, and spent

some time answering all the questions about networking etc, it is annoying to

find you can't see anything sensible. If the driver has worked during the

install, I'm not sure why it should not work once the isntall is complete.

Perhaps though, a dirrferent driver must be used, sicne one is 32-bit and the

other 64-bit. I guess that is harder to check, unless the installer can be

forced to work in 64-bit too, so at least one is testing the same driver.

Hi all,

Hi there

I am trying to configure the network interface in a Solaris 10
workstation (I had skipped this step during installation). This is the
first time I'm doing this. I did read up some articles, man page and
older posts in this newsgroup, but still a little confused about the
exact steps to follow.

I understand that I have to configure the interface by the following
command line:
# ifconfig e1000g0 xx.yy.zz.ww broadcast xx.yy.zz.255 netmask
255.255.255.0 plumb up

1. To run the above command, I need the IP address xx.yy.zz.ww of the
host. I'm trying to get it through DHCP. I followed the instructions at
this webpage: http://www.rite-group.com/consulting/solaris_dhcp.html
(create the files /etc/hostname.e1000g0 and /etc/dhcp.e1000g0 manually
and reboot). After reboot, I was expecting that the IP address for this
interface will be shown. But this is what I got:
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu
8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0: flags=1004802<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 0:3:ba:f1:3f:fe

It looks like the interface hasn't come up - try # ifconfig e1000g0 up

At this point I figured that I could have done the same as above using
ifconfig command itself, so wanted to see if it makes any difference
(that is, if it can assign the IP address). So my next command was:
# ifconfig e1000g0 auto-dhcp primary wait 120
ifconfig: e1000g0: interface currently has a pending command (try
later)

Confused, I wanted to see if the following command would work.
# ifconfig e1000g0 plumb
ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: e1000g0: already exists

The interface is already plumbed in, you can't plumb it in twice. To remove

it and start afresh, try # ifconfig e1000g0 unplumb

So how do I get the IP address?

The easiest way to start this process again would be to run "sys-unconfig"

and follow the prompts.

2. How do I know the name of the network interface? It took me some
time (reading older posts and checking /etc/drivers_aliases) to figure
out that it is e1000g0 in my case. Is there an easier way?

Try a prtconf - you should get the driver name and instance from this. In the

case below, we can see 4 interfaces, ipge0, ipge1, ipge2, ipge3.

# prtconf -D |grep network
network, instance #0 (driver name: ipge)
network, instance #1 (driver name: ipge)
network, instance #2 (driver name: ipge)
network, instance #3 (driver name: ipge)

Thanks for your help.

No worries.

There are two varieties of each card, qlogic and emulex.
I would choose the qlogic, since it is more proven.

Can the 3510 array support 4 GB speeds in direct connect configurations
or are the 4GB cards for SAN implementations?

You could use the 4GB card directly with the 3510, it will use the 2GB speed.
Since the 4GB is the same price as the 2GB, take the 4GB, IF YOU HAVE SERVERS
WITH SPARE 3.3VOLT PCI SLOTS. The V240 only has one, the V490 only two,
V1280 only one etc.

If you use pci-express, take the fastest available. (T1000, T2000, X2100)

Hi all,

quick question - working on a automated solaris 10 build for our
customers, and they support a number of different HBA's and Storage
arrays - I wonder if anyone has come across a good reference point for
suggested Kernel Tunables for storage within solaris

for some of detail - HBA's are a mix of the usual suspects from Emulex
and Qlogic
Storage arrays are (again) usual suspects from EMC / HDS etc.

any words of wisdom would be greatfully recieved.

Many thanks,

Stuart

In the past I had to touch the following when dealing with Gigabit

maxphys
sd:max_throttle
vol_maxio
bufhwm/vx_bufhwm (to avoid buffer caching)

Emulex, I think, had a good write up on Solaris kernel settings for

volume manager, you have to follow their best pratices so that your
configuration is optimal to your workload.

Hello,

You should find some usefull PDF's according Qlogic on:

http://support.qlogic.com/support/drivers_software.asp

You must find model of HBA - there will be some info about tunable
parameters according kind of storage

and for Emulex:

http://www.emulex.com/ts/index.html

or if You have access to powerlink.emc.com - try to look on their
knowledge base.

But generaly will be very hard to compare one value for various HBA's
and storage. I think, that You should check proposals for all and
compare if they are not totally different :-)

Blazej Antczak

I believe that there is
a convention that "normal" UIDs start at 100 but AFAIK it is not required.

You should really skip the first 100 UIDs. Although not all of them are
used currently you may run into trouble in the future when more and more
"system users" are introduced:

With sendmail 8.12ff you got user smmsp (uid 25)
With JDS you got user gdm (uid 50)
With Solaris 10 you got user webservd (uid 80)
etc.

The useradd program manpage explicitly warn against using UIDs < 100:

(UIDs from 0-99 are reserved for possible use in future
applications.)

Some systems allocate user accounts starting at UID 500. Linux
typically does this, although the "useradd" man page doesn't mention
this; it does say that "Values between 0 and 99 are typically reserved
for system accounts." I think what's going on here is that the system
installation routine, which prompts you for the name of the first user
account, explicitly sets its UID to 500; thereafter, other accounts
will start at 501.

If you want users to have consistent UIDs across different types of
systems (useful if you use NFS), you might consider assigning UIDs for
user accounts starting at 500. On the other hand, if you explicitly
assign UIDs, starting at 100 seems to work, at least across Solaris,
Linux, and a few other Unix-like OSs.
