1) First find the right controller.  You can use the built in device alias.   Tip:  Use ‘devalias’ to show the devices to find the scsi controllers:

{0} ok> devalias
  disk7                    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p3
  disk6                    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p2
  disk5                    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p1
  disk4                    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p0
  cdrom                    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p6
  scsi1                    /pci@400/pci@2/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0
  disk3                    /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p3
  disk2                    /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p2
  disk1                    /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p1
  disk0                    /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p0
  disk                     /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0/disk@p0
  scsi0                    /pci@400/pci@1/pci@0/pci@4/scsi@0

2) Note if the drives are not in HDD0 and HDD1 slot you may have to choose the other scsi1 controller.   Physically check your drive configuration.  Recommendation:  Ensure HDD’s placed in slot 0 and 1 before setting up RAID.  Click here for T3-1 HDD drive configuration schematic.

You must first use the ‘select’ command to tag the controller to be worked.  Example below uses the shortcut alias named ‘scsi0’ to reference the device path shown in (1) above.

{0} ok> select scsi0

3) Once selected, then following command will show the controller’s child devices:

{0} ok> show-children

  FCode Version 1.00.54, MPT Version 2.00, Firmware Version 5.00.17.00

  Target 9
    Unit 0   Disk   HITACHI  H103030SCSUN300G A2A8    585937500 Blocks, 300 GB
    SASDeviceName 5000cca015215698  SASAddress 5000cca015215699  PhyNum 0
  Target a
    Unit 0   Disk   HITACHI  H103030SCSUN300G A2A8    585937500 Blocks, 300 GB
    SASDeviceName 5000cca015216608  SASAddress 5000cca015216609  PhyNum 1

4) If the disk devices appear like above then ok to create the raid volume.  To make mirror boot drive, create as raid 1 device.  Note if both disks do not show like in (3) above then go back to (2) above and try select scsi1.  If still trouble then HDD’s may be in incompatible slot.

To create raid 1 volume:

{0} ok> 9 a create-raid1-volume
  Target 9 size is 583983104 Blocks, 298 GB
   Target a size is 583983104 Blocks, 298 GB
   The volume can be any size from 1 MB to 285148 MB

What size do you want?  [285148]
   Volume size will be 583983104 Blocks, 298 GB
   Enter a volume name:  [0 to 15 characters] raidvol0
   Volume has been created

5) Re-show the children.  Should see a single raid volume:

{0} ok> show-children

FCode Version 1.00.54, MPT Version 2.00, Firmware Version 5.00.17.00

Target 389 Volume 0
Unit 0   Disk   LSI      Logical Volume   3000    583983104 Blocks, 298 GB
VolumeDeviceName 30c25ab5985d6551  VolumeWWID 00c25ab5985d6551

Reset machine prior to jumping:

ok> reset-all

Tip: Send a break to get back to ok> prompt
o From digi console, can send a break via CTRL-p and select ‘b’.
o From ILOM console, can send a break via:   set /HOST send_break_action=break

6) Now it’s ok to boot install the O/S as normal:

{0} ok boot net:dhcp - install

First you have to have created a zone with memory capping enabled. This would be done during the zonecfg setup:

zonecfg:s8-zone-solar97> add capped-memory
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> set physical=50m
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> set swap=100m
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> set locked=30m
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> end

Once you zone is configured installed and running, you can view the resources of a zone:

# /bin/prctl -n zone.max-swap `pgrep -z <zone> init`

process: 999: /sbin/init
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
zone.max-swap
        privileged      100.0MB      -   deny                                -
        system          16.0EB     max   deny                                -

# /bin/prctl -n zone.max-locked-memory `pgrep -z <zone> init`

process: 999: /sbin/init
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
zone.max-locked-memory
        privileged      30.0MB      -   deny                                 -
        system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -

# rcapstat -z 1 1

id zone            nproc    vm   rss   cap    at avgat    pg avgpg
2 <zone>            -      48M   36M   50M    0K    0K    0K    0K

To change the max-swap resource do the following:

# prctl -n zone.max-swap -r -v 200M `pgrep -z  <zone> init`

To change the max-locked-memory resource do the following:

# prctl -n zone.max-locked-memory -r -v 100M `pgrep -z  <zone> init`

Changing the physical memory capping is a little different, you’ll need to use the rcapadm command:

# rcapadm -z <zone> -m 100M

Then to view all the resources again, you should see the changes:

# /bin/prctl -n zone.max-swap `pgrep -z <zone> init`

process: 999: /sbin/init
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
zone.max-swap
       privileged      200.0MB      -   deny                                 -
       system          16.0EB     max   deny                                 -

# /bin/prctl -n zone.max-locked-memory `pgrep -z <zone> init`

process: 999: /sbin/init
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION                       RECIPIENT
zone.max-locked-memory
        privileged      100.0MB     -   deny                                 -
        system          16.0EB    max   deny                                 -

# rcapstat -z 1 1

id zone            nproc    vm   rss   cap    at avgat    pg avgpg
2 <zone>            -      48M   36M   100M   0K    0K    0K    0K

That’s it. To make the changes permanent, you’ll need to go into zonecfg and adjust the resources that way.

# zonecfg -z <zone>

zonecfg:s8-zone-solar97> select capped-memory
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> set physical=100m
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> set swap=200m
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> set locked=100m
zonecfg:zone:capped-memory> end
zonecfg:zone:> commit

This will save the zone configuration file so the next time the zone boots the memory limit will be set, otherwise the changes are only temporary.

If you have ever tried to mount a Linux NFS share on a Solaris workstation you may have seen the below error.

solaris1# mount t3-61.abc.com:/exports/homes /mnt
nfs mount: mount: /mnt: Not owner

This may be caused by the Solaris system attempting to mount the exported file system running NFS version 4 instead of version 3. The problem can easily be corrected by passing the vers=3 option when mounting the file system.

mount -o vers=3 t3-61.abc.com:/exports/homes /mnt

Additionally you could add the option into the auto_master map if the problem is coming from automount operations.

/mount_point	map_name 	-rw,vers=3

If you want the change to be system wide you could edit the /etc/default/nfs file and set the max version:

NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=3

number of physical cpu: "psrinfo -p"
number of cores: "kstat cpu_info|grep core_id|sort -u|wc -l"
number of threads: "psrinfo -pv"

# echo "`psrinfo -p` socket(s)"
2 socket(s)

# echo "`kstat -m cpu_info|grep -w core_id|uniq|wc -l` core(s) "
8 core(s)

# echo "`psrinfo|wc -l` logical (virtual) processor(s)"
64 logical (virtual) processor(s)

so (core(s) with 8 thread)

eg.

root@t31 # echo “`psrinfo -p` socket(s)”
1 socket(s)
root@t31 #  echo “`kstat -m cpu_info|grep -w core_id|uniq|wc -l` core(s) “
16 core(s)
root@t31 # echo “`psrinfo|wc -l` logical (virtual) processor(s)”
128 logical (virtual) processor(s)
root@t31 #
