Re: md5 and corrupted downloaded files

How are you burning the CD? Are you using the website's Java applet
(Sun Download Manager) to download the DVD image? It will check the
integrity of the file.
No. You'd just be pasting five CD images together. Mashing five CD
images together does not make a DVD.
You can, however, download the CD images and burn them off as five

I download that file : sol-10-u5-ga-x86-dvd.iso twice and each time I
burn it on DVD I had the error :
That CD/DVD is not Solaris media after going on steps of
installation .
Is that file corrupted and how can I use md5 to check it and where can
I get it and use it ?
can I download the 5 CDs files and do that concatenation :

Thanks a lot, That solved my problems. My next step is to install a

Re: how to find out what processes are taking up CPU resources?

2008-08-29T20:44:55Z

ps -ef will show you what's running on the system and the CPU time used.
It's pretty crude but will give you a general idea what's going on.
See man sar!
Also consider what hardware you are running! You didn't mention it.
There are some real antiques around that will not impress anyone with
their performance. (Sometimes those ten year old boxes run their ten

how to find out what processes are taking up CPU resources?

I have a SUN OS version 5.8 system. The computer is running extremely
slow,
while other systems on the network are behaving normally.
What command on Solaris will allow me to see what process is taking up
what
percentage of my CPU?
I am familiar with the "ps -e" command, but it doesn't tell me what

I replaced the disk uneventfully as described in the preceding post.
One modification to note for future reference, this:
had a very slow transfer rate (monitored with: iostat sd53 sd32 1)
After some experimentation, it was found that the maximum transfer speed

how about
/dev/md/dsk/d2 /dev/md/rdsk/d2 /storage/data1 ufs 2 yes
The top of /etc/vfstab in solaris even explains the columns and what they
represent.
man mount for more info on this.
If you want all the details on how your mounts are really setup cat

In article

That's simple enough: just add an item to the startup scripts and have
it run before sshd gets launched. In other words, stuff the following
inside a file that you can call /etc/init.d/sshd_tunnelling:

Adding a line for an array to vfstab

2008-08-29T01:23:49Z

The last time I added a line for an array to vfstab I had to
reinstall the system. This is the mount line "mount /dev/md/dsk/d2
/storage/data1" I don't necessarily want to scan the mirrored array.
The line mounts the array fine. this is my first time adding a
mirrored array to the vfstab, Can any one give me some pointers.

The answer to your question by Andrew Gabriel 5 days ago in
alt.solaris.x86 was clear (copy'n'pasted from there):
A bug with S10U5 on Pentium III systems.
You need to invoke kmdb at boot and patch the system...
Select the appropriate grub entry and type 'e' to edit it.
Select the kernel line and type 'e' to edit it.

kmdb problem

kmdb is working fine with the DVD solaris x86 installation file but
when I tried to download the 5 files for Installing u5 of solaris 10
on PIII. I tried the GRUB command kmdb instead of cdrom with the first
CD but with installing from CDs the PC totally hang up after issuing
the GRUB kmdb though it worked fine with the DVD file .

Best way to replace a disk in an LVM?

2008-08-28T18:13:13Z

Our Solaris 9 server has a disk c3t9d0 which reports via SMART that it
is failing. However, it has no uncorrected errors yet, so it should be
ok to just copy the data off of it (rather than restoring the whole
volume from tape). It is part of this lvm, from /etc/lvm/md.tab
