Subject: /usr/kvm/machine on 4.1.2 machines
Organization: University of Waterloo
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 21:48:38 GMT
X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL11]

In 4.1.1, /usr/kvm/machine did not point into ./sys (which
will not exist unless the optional "Sys" software subset is
installed).  Instead it referred to ../include/<kernel-arch> like so:
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 root           16 Feb 25 14:24 machine -> ../include/sun4c
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 root           15 Apr 23  1991 machine -> ../include/sun3

On our 4.1.2/Sun4m machines, /usr/include/sun4m exists and has several
identical header files as /usr/kvm/sys/sun4m, where the latter exists.
But /usr/kvm/machine is thus:
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 root           11 Jan 10  1992 machine -> ./sys/sun4m

which is a dangling symlink where /usr/kvm/sys doesn't exist.

Is this how Sun delivers 4.1.2?  Why was this changed?
Is there any harm in changing /usr/kvm/machine to point
to ../include/sun4m instead (at least on those systems
that do not have the "Sys" software subset loaded?

Much thanks.

Date: 30 Jul 92 18:02:59 GMT
Followup-To: comp.sys.sun.admin
Organization: CERFnet;  La Jolla, CA

our SUN IPC under OS 4.1.2, and it is _not_ working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The details:
	The slip version we are working with is
4.1.Beta.  This was reccomended to us by the kind folks
at cerf.net, but they did not have any problems installing, 
and so can't help out with ours.
	Symptons: no error messages building new kernel.
The remote machine does not respond to the command
"slip-attach" invoked on our local machine.
The connection is initially made with tip to a dial-in
line through Telebit T3000s.  After all of the initial
login gibberish, we invoke slip on cerf.net, then espcae
to the local machine with ~C slip-attach /dev/tty?? 9600 123.45.6.7
132.432.54.65 255.255.255.0

The two IP numbers are ours and thiers; we use the real ones...
There is no explanation for the mask number, could this be it?

The terminal we use corresponds to the one for the window in which
our open look virtual terminal is running.  The speed is
9600 bps, to our telebit over a serial line, so there is no
network to slow it down.

Any ideas?  Please respond to orca@cerf.net

Distribution: comp.sys.sun.admin
Organization: The University of Calgary, Alberta

We are looking for assistance with SCSI errors we've been having.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CONFIGURATION:

Sparc 1, 32M ram, 24 bit video, internal 424M seagate drive (sd0), 
external 1.4G seagate drive (sd1), exabyte tape drive (st1).
SunOS Release 4.1.2 (GENERIC) #2: Wed Oct 23 10:52:58 PDT 1991
Version 1.0 roms.

PROBLEMS:

2 problems with the SCSI bus.

First problem occurs on power up (all other devices already on),
about 25% of the time the first message that appears is
'SCSI hung - perhaps an external device is off', then it does its
testing then we get the > prompt (typing 'n' then 'reset' always
enables the maching to boot up).

The second problem occurs when trying to use the exabyte drive.  We
continuously get 'write error' at random places into the tape.

HISTORY:

We started with a diskless ss1 and upgraded it to become our server
(to 3 other diskless clients some macs and some pcs).  We added the
two drives and the exabyte, installed 4.1.2.  Then everything worked
fine for two months.  We were doing daily backups (weekend level 0) for
the last one of the two months without any problems.  Then without
changing anything (except copying over a very large - 400M - directory)
we started getting write errors and the following SCSI transport error.

Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: esp0: Current command timeout for Target 1 Lun 0
Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: esp0:        State=DATA_DONE (0xa), Last State=DATA (0x9)
Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: esp0:        Cmd dump for Target 1 Lun 0:
Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: esp0:        cdb=[ 0x8 0xb 0x8 0x10 0x10 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 ]
Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: sd1:    SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command
Jul 19 03:16:59 evds-sparc vmunix: sd0:    SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command

ATTEMPED SOLUTIONS:

* All the external devices work on a Sparc 2 (several tests) running 4.1.2.

* Tried many different tapes (Exabyte and Sony) - same errors

* Got a replacement for the Exabyte - same errors

* Tried replacing the 424M internal drive - same errors (then returned drive)

* Swapped the mother board with another from a ss1 - same errors

Then we were told a ssp wasn't rated to power a 424M drive so we bought
an external shoebox.  That still did not fix the problem. We've had several
people look at it (including two authorized sun technicians) without success.

The system runs fine - all software works - but we can't do backups or tars
and we get the SCSI transport errors.

Thanks in advance for any help.

We are trying to hook an HP LaserJet IIID to our Sparcstation.

In trying to do this I have encountered a strange problem: I cannot seem to set
the terminal line characteristics with stty.  As far as I can tell, the stty
call is either having no effect, or something is changing the characteristics
back as soon as my stty request is complete.

I am using the UCB version of stty as follows (for example):
	stty > /dev/ttya

and the speed indicated is 9600.  When I execute the following:
	stty 19200 > /dev/ttya

I expect the speed to change to 19200 and it does not, likewise for any other
terminal characteristic.  Executing the command as superuser or regular user does not change the outcome.  The terminal line is turned off in ttytab, that is
the entry in /etc/tty (produced at startup) is "02ttya".

I have perused the stty(1v) and tty(4) manual pages but have no clue as to what
I am doing wrong.  This command seqence works fine under ULTRIX.

Can anyone help?

Similarly, if anyone has connected an LJ3D to a Sparc and has a printcap entry they would be willing to share, I would also appreciate that.

Thanks,
Greg

I was going to say to RTFM, but it looks like the man page is wrong.
The newer and more improved version of named that Sun is shipping
with 4.1.1 wants the name of a file to store the secondary zone file
in (so if the secondary is restarted while the primary is down or
unreachable, it can immediately start acting like a secondary server
again).  At least the "System & Network Administration" manual is
correct.  You should have something like:

secondary   microunity.com  [primary server address here]  microunity.bak

in your boot file.

I'm sorry if this is a FAQ but I haven't been keeping up with the news 
recently.

I am trying to save disk space on some of my sparcs so I have been using NFS 
mounts to reach the /usr/openwin on a file server sparc. I think however that 
I must need to do something else for olwm to run smoothly. It seems to spin 
up nicely enough, but it will only allow one x client with a remote computer. 
The second time I try to spin up the x client, I get a message saying unable 
to find display "a.b.c.d:0" where a.b.c.d is in fact the correct ip address 
for my sparc. In other cases I get a broken pipe message, e.g.:

Process: 0x262ef0 (X Listener %socketl6000)   Error: stackunderflow
Stack:
      Executing: 'pop'
                      At: {packedarray{4} 'stopped' 'pop' *'pop' 'closefile' 
'du

In: {... 4 'index' append 'put' packedarray{8} *'loop'}
XIO:  fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server ""
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
      The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.

 Any subsequent attempt to bring up a x client like xset, etc. also fail. 

Have I overlooked something fundamental, or should I be able to have olwm run 
correctly with just a NFS mount to remote /usr/openwin?

Thanks in advance

Had an interesting situation today.  I'd postponed doing the system accounting
for a while and the files got rather large.  Today there was only about 280K left
on / so I decided to clean things up.

After I ran sa and pac, df reported disk free space of 360K.  However, when I
started running "du -s" and added everyting up, it looked like I had 1700K (which
is what I expected it to be).

So, all you filesystem gurus out there, under what conditions will DU and DF 
return inconsistent results AND can you tell me why they (sometimes) don't agree
with one another?

that would mean, that anyone who has ever read c header files

I'm attempting to connect a PostScript printer to a serial port on a
3/80 running 4.1.1.  Being PostScript, I need to be able to get the ^D
back from it once the print job is done.  This means the serial port
must be in -icanon mode, otherwise the ^D gets turned into EOF.

However, when I set -icanon in the printcap "ms=..." entry, I get the
port set up with VMIN=4 and VTIME=0.  This means the read will never
return until 4 characters are available, and the spooler program hangs
indefinitely as there is only 1 ^D available.  Manually setting VMIN
to 1 with stty unhangs the daemon and jobs start printing normally
(until the daemon runs out of work, closes the port and resets VMIN.) 

And there appears to be no way to have lpd reset VMIN itself because
the ms= printcap entry doesn't accept the "min n" arguments that stty
does.  According to the termio(4), the initial value of MIN is 1, so
who is setting it to 4 (which is ^D; no surprise as VMIN = VEOF)?

Surely I'm not the first person to discover this one?  Anything I can
do other than make the input filter change VMIN itself?

[All our other printers are connected via terminal servers.  No such
problems there.  Terminal control used to be so easy in V7!]

Yup, works fine with 4.1.1.  I believe it even tells you that in the

Chapter 6 of the Nutshell book on the Perl programming language has

The mouse does not send ethernet packets.  By itself, it doesn't cause

Did you look at the export permissions of the root and swap? The lines

Worse, HP-UX can only export partitions. And for mounting root and swap
the client needs root-access. The antique NFS implementation that HP-UX
uses doesn't support this, so you can't give a Sun a root and swap over
NFS from a HP-UX machine.

rh>
rh>How does the Sun client really do it? 

NFS with root-access. And they use a neat trick on the swap file. They
set up the sticky bit of the swap file on your server. Under these
conditions it has the effect of passing the cache on the server. So
swapping over NFS won't effect the cache on your server.

rh>

No, not in the kernel. I think you can adjust it in the fstab. Otherwise you'll
have to look into the /etc/bootparams file (or your NIS map).

I believe the "bug" here is that the misses are cached.  There is no
publically documented way to flush the cache without killing and
restarting ypbind (yuk!)  Also, the cache timeout is unknown.  My
experience has been that the timeout is about 30 minutes.  So I find
something else to do in the interim... like read news :-)

Hello, like the subject line says.  Does anyone have a sparc
dis-assembler?  It does not have to be pretty, but should generate
`correct` assembly code.  As in if I dis-assemble some *.o, and then
use some assembler, it should get back to the same/equiv *.o.

You ask why?

I like this sort of stuff. ;-}
