    Solaris run Netbackup drecrease /opt disk space

    Perhaps I'm missing something. The / (root) partition is full, but there is no /opt partition. Your / (root) partition is 20GB and full. Usually the Solaris 10 OS (even with all options 'ticked') only uses about 5GB, so there should be plenty of scope for deleting or moving files. Do all...

    Last time Logged into CMS

    I assume that is all the people who have never logged in. No. It is all the people who don't have a password (or are using a password of 'zero length'). You can login every day for a month, have no (or NUL) password and still be part of the list produced by logins -p. I hope that helps...

    Last time Logged into CMS

    The logins command (see the man pages, via man logins) can help answer some of your enquiries. logins -p # display users without a password logins -x # display extended info - see man pages I hope that helps. Mike

    running Sun OS 10 & Applications copy to another SCSI

    There is still very little information about your configuration. Perhaps by getting the answers to specific questions will help us. There are too many variables to give a definitive answer as to whether it can be done, let alone the 'how' it could be done. How many slots for disks does your...

    running Sun OS 10 & Applications copy to another SCSI

    You haven't gone into too many details about your configuration. But I would expect that a 'filesystem' copy rather than a 'disk' or 'bitmap' copy is what you require. Perhaps a 'ufsdump' command 'piped' to a 'ufsrestore'. I hope that helps. Mike

    create files on specified directory with right access 775

    I am still not sure what you are asking (and what you are trying to achieve). The 'umask' can be changed during a 'login session'. It may be the time to stop ignoring ACLs. Have a look at the man pages for 'setfacl' (and 'getfacl') and then experiment to see if ACLs help. You may even find...

    create files on specified directory with right access 775

    I think there are some words missing from your enquiry, and to try to guess what they are (and where they should go) might drastically change the meaning. However, here is some insight into files. Ignoring ACLs for the moment, when a file is created, its access permissions are more dependent...

    patches required from jan

    I would be very surprised if there was a legitimate alternative link or download site. For the last couple of years, Sun have only allowed the Recommended Patch Cluster Kits for Solaris 8, 9 & 10 to be downloaded from their sunsolve.sun.com to people who have a valid Maintenance Contract with...

    install 2nd hd ( non-Sun ) on Ultra 10

    Hi nmrjh, A quick Google search for: "Western Digital WD5000AAKB-00H8A0 cylinders", reveals it is indeed a 500GB disk and with 16383 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors and 255 tracks. Please check this information for yourself before changing the geometry of the disk. I hope that helps. Mike

    install 2nd hd ( non-Sun ) on Ultra 10

    I wouldn't recommend trying to reformat the disk (ie change the hardware characteristics), but changing the partition table can be done many times on a disk (ie adjust the slice sizes). Please note 'Slice or Partition 2' = "The whole disk", so don't try to change that. So we can confirm the...

    Compiling C program in Sun OS 5.9

    It would be helpful to see what the error messages are. From what you say, my guess is that it is a 'PATH' issue. Somewhere a file cannot be 'found' because the path to it is either not in the PATH variable or not part of the filename specification. I hope that helps. Mike

    Disk Transfers, Write Time % and Read Time % of a Cacti graph

    The term "Disk Transfers" is a short-hand way of saying 'the data written to a disk and the data read from a disk'. It refers to the amount of data read or written. Useful 'disk statistics' would include the transfer rates (reads per second and writes per second) and the amount transfered...

    setenv error

    Although long-winded and involving unnecessary typing, it is possible to use a construct like the following, to build up the PATH variable 'bit by bit': setenv PATH .:/opt/vendor/software/bin:$PATH setenv PATH /usr/ccs/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:$PATH setenv PATH /tmp:/opt/perl/bin:$PATH...

    Filesystems creation on Solaris 10 x86

    The messages/warnings about SVM (Solaris Volume Manager) are saying that the disk (or LUN from the SAN) is (or has been) part of a mirror called d7. It is suggesting you clear this with the metaclear command. Before progressing I would carefully check out the configuration in case the 'zoning'...

    V880 DDS3 Tape Drive installation

    Assuming the DDS3 is 'hardware compatible' with the V880, ensure the V880 can 'see' the tape drive at the "Ok " prompt. (If the hardware can't 'see' the drive then the OS definitely won't be able to 'see' it) Try: ok show-devs ok probe-scsi-all I hope that helps. Mike

    root passwd expired

    Sadly there are 'typos' or words missing from your post that would so change the meaning of your enquiry that it is almost impossible to give you a precise answer to what you are asking. To find out if an account is expired, check the file /etc/shadow and use the command man shadow. Also see...

    cp large amount of files w/o overwritting

    It may be worth looking at: set -o noclobber (in ksh to prevent existing files being overwritten. I've not really used it apart from a quick test. If the file exists, the copy command (or whatever is trying overwrite the file) errors with something like: /bin/ksh: <the-filename>...

    How to set up a cron job

    There are several threads on this forum (and others) for setting up cron jobs. Have you tried searching for 'cron' and/or 'crontab' and/or 'cronjob' ? Personally, I don't advise using crontab -e as I have seen large crontab entries 'blanked out'. Try: crontab -l > /tmp/mycron.txt vi...

    add -t to syslog init, restart syslog cause reboot, port still visible

    Are there any clues in /var/adm/messages from just before the reboot? I hope that helps. Mike

    Find the new partition

    ...am i gonna 'search' for it? Before you can use newfs, etc, Solaris must be able to 'see' the slice/partition (ie via format or by ls -al /dev/dsk/c*s0, etc). Your second partition (250gb) must be 'presented' to Solaris (at the 'hardware' level). I am not familiar with Solaris on x86. You...
