How to Move /var/adm/messages and syslog messages to differnt location

Take the backup of /etc/syslog.conf  and be carefully will editing syslog.conf becoz only tab space should be there man syslog.conf

Create a link file while moving to different location.

.T2000 Battery replacement

T2000 Battery replacement

Steps:  Follow these steps for this activity:

1)       Notify the app team before beginning system shutdown.

2)       Shutdown server to OBP using ‘init 0’; once server is down to ‘ok’, toggle to the system controller prompt.

3)       Power off server on system controller prompt : at ‘sc’ prompt, ‘poweroff’ (wait for system to state system is down)

4)       Turn servers over to Oracle FE for hardware replacement.

5)       Once FE has completed replacements, please verify the date/time on the system controller:  ‘showdate’.  Run ‘setdate –h’to get the syntax to input the GMT date/time.  The UDT time would be PDT +7 hours or EST +4 hours.

NOTE:  This must be performed while system is in shutdown state.  This has to be done before Step 6.  Run ‘showdate’ to validate the change has been made.

6)       Once date is showing correctly on the battery replacement servers, run the 'poweron' command at the ‘sc’ prompt.

7)       Boot server up to multiuser level. 

8)       Once you login, run the command ‘uptime’.  Make sure it is current.  This has been seen recently:

10:40am  up 4093 day(s), 13:32,  1 user,  load average: 0.58, 0.60, 0.27

Shut the server down a 2^nd time using ‘init 0’ if the uptime is incorrect as above.

Run boot –r  for a clean startup. 

9)       Verify OS is stable and is ready for app validation.

10)    Run ‘svcs –xv’ to verify all Solaris 10 services are running. Verify they are currently no errors.

11)    Notify Oracle FE that things are okay and notify app team to restart their app and validate access. .  If the systems look fine, NOTIFY FE to let him/her know their portion is complete.

12)    App team to respond back with acceptance before work is complete.

13)    Send email to all parties stating work has been successfully completed.  Include FE and RCI-02 team.

How to configure RSC IP and SC IP

How to configure  RSC IP and SC IP:



we to need to add rsc package

pkgadd -d .

after adding pak in /usr/platform/`uname -i`

u will get rsc

cd rsc

rsc-config      rsc-initscript  rscadm

RSC Console Settings
Well, most of us have done sc and alom and ilom settings. Ever heard of setting up an RSC for console with cyclades?

Follow up ...


Introduction:


The purpose of this document is to broadly define the RSC Configuration activities carried out during the server built up and the roadblocks faced herein.






1. RSC Software Download:

In the first phase of RSC configuration the RSC software was been taken from the SUN Download Centre (http://sunsolve.sun.com ) and then the individual packages within the RSC software were installed on the supported platform . The RSC software download for Solaris contains the following packages:


SUNWrsc
SUNWrscj
SUNWrscd



2. RSC Software Installation:


The below mentioned steps were followed to install the RSC software on Solaris 10 :


2.1 Login as superuser ( root )

2.2 Place the compressed file (for example, rsc_packages*.zip) in a temporary directory (for example, /tmp).

2.3 Use unzip (/usr/bin/unzip) to extract the Sun packages from the zip file. From your temporary directory, type the following command at the superuser prompt and press Return




/usr/bin/unzip rsc_packages*.zip

Root & Swap Mirroring

                                                

      Root & Swap Mirroring

Disks:   c1t0d0 & c1t1d0

Steps :( root Mirroring)

1. Create the   /root (30GB) & /Swap (64GB) partitions during the OS installation on c1t0d0.

2. i.e., c1t0d0s0 --- root       c1t0d0s1 --- swap

3. Create partition for State Database (Metadb) on c1t0d0s7 (125MB)

4. Copy the VTOC of c1t0d0 (1^st Disk) to c1t1d0 (2^nd Disk).

5. i.e., #prtvtoc    /dev/rdsk/ c1t0d0s2 |fmthard  –s  -  /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2

6. Create three copies of metadb on c1t0d0s7 & c1t1d0s7

7. i.e., #metadb -f -a -c3 c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7 (In c 3 … 3 is the no of db copy)

8. Create the Meta volume for /root

9. i.e., #metainit  -f  d11  1  1  c0t0d0s0  &   # metainit  d12  1  1  c0t1d0s0

10. Create the mirror volume

11. i.e., # metainit  d10 –m   d11

12. Update the /etc/Vfstab & /etc/system file entries by using metaroot command.

13. i.e., #metaroot   d10

14. Reboot the system (init 6)

15. Attach the d12 volume with the mirror.

16. i.e., # metattach d10 d12

17. Add the entry in /etc/system file.

18. i.e., set md: mirrored_root_flag=1

19. Edit the EEPROM Values.

20. i.e., #eeprom local-mac  address?true

21. eeprom AUTO BOOT=?true

22.

23. Boot Block installation on the second disk.

24. i.e., #/usr/platform/`uname – i`

              #cd lib

             #cd ufs

             #installboot    bootblk  /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0

25. To check the physical path of the second disk

      #ls –lrt /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0

26. To add the entry in the EEPROM for root disk & root mirror  label on the second disk.

      #eeprom "nvramrc=devalias rootdisk /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@1,0 \ > devalias rootmirror /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@0,0"

27. To boot from root disk& root mirror for checking purpose.

       OK  boot  -v  rootdisk 

       OK  boot  –v  rootmirror

Steps:  Swap Mirroring

1.  Create the Meta volume for /Swap

2.  i.e., #metainit  -f  d21  1  1  c0t0d0s1      &           # metainit  d22  1  1  c0t1d0s1 

3. Create the mirror volume

4. . i.e., # metainit d20 –m   d21 

5. # metattach d20 d22

6. dumpadm   -d  /dev/md/dsk/d20 (To add the crash dump device)

7. #dumpadm (To list the dump device)

8. #swap   -a  /dev/md/dsk/c1t0d0s1 (To add the Swap space )

9. #swap –l  (To list the swap space allocated)

Kernel Jumbo patching which is under SVM & OBP upgradation

Kernel Jumbo patching which is under SVM & OBP upgradation:

1.     Take the output of the server before starting the activity.

# ./output.sh(  Take  RSC IP Details as it is not in the script)-----take output and copy to rcp kjp2011

2.     Check with RSC IP is able to connect the server.

# telnet<RSC IP>

3.     Check the Fmadm Faulty Error

# fmadm faulty(If it is there inform Sun Team take the necessary actions)

4.       Check the out-put of "dladm show-dev" command, if  "e1000g#" interface is used on the system like following o/p :

bash-3.00# dladm show-dev

e1000g0         link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full

e1000g1         link: up        speed: 1000  Mbps       duplex: full

Then, add the entry " lso_enable=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0; " (Without inverted comma and space)  in the /kernel/drv/e1000g.conffile.

5.     Check the Available space of Root File system and Any Hard Errors on the Hard Disks (Root Disk & Root Mirror).

# df –kh |grep .

#iostat –En |grep  -i errors

6.     Stop application & Database

7.     Check the umask value , it should be 022.(If it is 077 , change it to 022 as per the KJP Upgradation Procedure)

That is we need to change the Umask value in/etc/.login, /etc/profile,/etc/skel/local.cshrc,/etc/skel/local.login,/etc/skel/local.profile,/etc/default/login

                Then take another session of the server and check Umask again.

8.     Check in /etc/vfstab file whether for swap tmpfs size is "-" and not 512M(It should be -)

swap    -       /tmptmpfs   -       yes     -

9.     Umount FS, Deport DG’s

10.            Check the output of EEPROM for for "boot-device;use-nvramrc?;nvramrc"

#eeprom

boot-device=rootdiskrootmirror

local-mac-address?=true

auto-boot=?=false

use-nvramrc?=true

nvramrc=devaliasrootmirror /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@1,0

devaliasrootdisk /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@0,0

11.            If everything is fine. Take a reboot of server.

#reboot

12.             Once the server rebooted successfully , Detach the Root Mirror & Swap Mirror

#metadettach d10 d12( d10& d12 are examples )

#metadettach  d20 d22 ( d20 & d22 are examples )

13.             Mount  rootmirror in "C#T#D#" format on to "/mnt" :--->>

#  mount /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s0 /mnt(c#t#d#s0 is the root mirror disk)

14.              Edit the "etc/vfstab" and "etc/system" files of  rootmirror :--->>

# cd /mnt/etc

# vi vfstab(convert all meta devices of root mirror to c#t#d# form);

# vi system(Hash the entry "rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,10,blk" by preceeding it with a star "*" ).

Note: Before going to edit the above vfstab& system files, check the PWD command. It should be /mnt/etc/vfstab&  /mnt/etc/system

15.            Unmount the /mnt

#umount /mnt

16.             Then go to OK prompt by using init 0 command

#init 0

17.             From OK prompt ,boot the system with Root Mirror

OK  devalias( This command will display  the details of Root Disk & Root Mirror)

OK boot rootmirror –v

18.             After the system booted , check the df –kh command.

The root file system should be in c#t#d# format.

19.             Then again go to OK prompt and boot the server from Root Disk.

OK boot rootdisk –v

20.             After the successful boot from Root Disk , check the current Kernel Patch

 # uname –a(If KJP installed on the server is 142909-17 , then need to install only PATCH "144488-06. Otherwise need to install the Jumpopatch(142909-17 ) and the single patch(144488-06))

21.            Start the KJP installation 

22.            Once it is completed , take reboot of the server.

23.            Then install the single patch and again reboot.

24.            After the completion of all installation , check the server output with the output before taken KJP.

25.            If everything is fine ,  Start the DB & application ,then release the server.

26.            Start the KJP installation

unzip –d /tmp<10_Recommended.zip>

./installcluster - -s10cluster

Once process completes restart server
