Hi,

Since you are running Sol 8 try the command devfsadm (new to Sol8) which
will load all the possible drivers and attach device
instances. It should detect your DLT. Also what was the response when you
ran probe-scsi-all at ok prompt?

Subject:  SUMMARY: restoring NT files on a Solaris machine

Hi All,

Here are the suggestions that I received in response to my
question:

- several people suggested that I try GNU tar, or a tar compatible
  program for windows.  A couple people specifically suggested the Cygwin
  version of GNU tar.

- a few people suggested that I use Samba.  Then I could nfs mount
  the filesystem and copy the data.

  Someone suggested that if I have NT boxes at both sites I could install 
  samba on the solaris machine; use ntbackup/networker on the nt machine 
  in the remote site to backup the files; use ntbackup/networker on an 
  nt machine on the local site to restore files and then copy the files 
  to the solaris box afterwards .

- Someone suggested using Winzip, or something similar, to create
  .zip files.  Then, you could put this on tape, restore on the
  Solaris box, and extract it with unzip.

- try the "dd" that comes from http://virtunix.itribe.net/mystuff.html.   

- A couple of people said that using Solstice Backup/Networker
  won't let you restore PC based backups to a Unix system.

- One person told me not to do this because I'll lose the 
  NT ACL's if you restore to a non-NTFS filesystem.  They said
  that I could probably reset the permissions by hand if it's just
  a few files.


Many of you wanted to know why I don't want to use ftp.  My
customer said the file sizes are very large, like 100gig.  That'll
take forever with ftp.

Thank you all so much for your input!!

Nicole

--- Original Post ----

Hi,
I know this may be somewhat offtopic, but I've been searching
newsgroups all afternoon with very little success.

We have to transfer large amounts of data from a remote NT
machine to a Solaris machine.  Since the files are large,
ftp isn't an option.  We're thinking about backing up
the data from the NT machine to a DLT tape drive on the NT box, then
restoring to the Solaris machine from a DLT on the Solaris machine.

Has anyone done this successfully before?  What software do you
use? 

We were thinking about using Solstice Backup (and Networker on NT), but
we don't want to have to scan the tape in before restoring the
data.

Thanks!

Subject: Automating the movment of log files across the network
Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 11:56:35 -0700

I have a large number of servers scattered around the US in multiple
datacenters. There are a number of log files, web & app servers mostly, that
I want to move back to a central location to perform analysis on. I am
currently using a set of scripts to roll the logs and then move the via ftp
and using a .netrc file, all being via cron jobs. The ftp user I use has no
shell and can essentially only transfer files to and from his directories.

I want a more secure way to do this preferably encrypting the entire
transfer and not having any plain text passwords anywhere. I have thought
about using ssh's (1.2.27 from ssh.fi is what I have everywhere) scp with an
empty (no password) RSA authentication but that doesn't sit well either.

I have also been playing with netcat (Conner McCleod's SUMMARY kind of
sparc'd this) but I can't find a way to encrypt the channel or authenticate
without having passwords laying around.

All boxes are either 220's or Netra T1s running 2.7.

So my question is:
Is there a way to automate the transfer of files from multiple servers back
to a single point. Not having any clear text passwords laying around over a
preferably encrypted channel.
Has anybody ever set something like this up? Or looked into it any way? Any
pointers to anything?
I haven't been able to find anything on the net regarding this.

Thanks,

On an E250 with solaris 2.6, can I build a filesystem of 1k blocks, or is 8k
the smallest I can do (with ufs)?  I know the man page says the sun4u can
only do 8k, but I just wanted to make certain I didn't miss another way of
setting this news server up.

I create a lot of logical interfaces on my network cards via the ifconfig

I then go in and add the hostname.hme0:1 (or whatever the logical interface

Subject: SUMMARY: JumpStart Installation: not found
Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 15:59:36 -0400

Original Message:

I am attempting to install a Netra 200 with Solaris 8 (10/00). The
installation technique is a completely automated network jumpstart install.
This is not the first time I have installed this client, and it has always
worked in the past. I have confirmed that the /jumpstart share is shared,
etc...

I am using the "Building a Jumpstart Infrastructure" guide
(http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0401/BuildInf.pdf) as an outline.

Here is the error message:
Searching for JumpStart directory...
not found
Warning: Could not find matching rule in rules.ok
Press the return key for an interactive Solaris install program...
(...)

Solution:

I got some responses, which advised me to verify that the /jumpstart
directory was shared, that the rules.ok was properly generated by check,
etc...

The actual cause of the problem was a mismatch between the two machines
netmasks.

The jumpstart server was at ip 10.1.13.39 netmask ff000000
The client was at ip 10.1.13.243 netmask ffffff00

The only thing I don't understand is how the nfs traffic did not make it
through, and the tftp, RARP did.

Subject: SUMMARY: How to auto-setup DISPLAY, TERM, and key codes for vi, v
	im, and g vim.
Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 15:03:44 -0500

SYNOPSIS:
Auto setting setenvs DISPLAY, TERM, and key codes can be done with some
limited successes.  Problems occur if you do not return to your original
terminal before jumping off to another server.  Auto-setting is done in
.login for csh or .profile for sh.

OS: 
Solaris 2.6, SunOS 4.1.4, MS-WinNT 

HARDWARE: 
Sparc, Intel

SOFTWARE:
Reflection-X, vi, vim, gvim.

ORIGINAL QUESTION: 
How do I setup my unix environment so that keyboard input is correct for vi
and command-line as I ssh, ftp or telnet from machine to machine? 

ORIGINAL PROBLEM:
As I move around from system to system, my key code setup for my keyboard
and environment vars DISPLAY and TERM are not self-setting like they once
were.  I get strange results from "vi" even after manual setting DISPLAY,
TERM, and "stty erase ^H".  Delete and arrow keys still do not work
correctly in vi.
 
ORIGINAL SUPPORTING DETAILS: 
This is probably a basic unix thing, but I have forgotten the answer.  The
company has moved all admins to a new work environment and I am encountering
some frustrations with keyboard entry not being correct.

Admins had been logging in via real NCD X-terminals to their main SunOS
4.1.4 servers and then ssh, ftp, or telnet their way around to different
boxes as needed.  With this, things worked great, environment vars such as
DISPLAY and TERM were always self-setting and correct (DISPLAY was always
"$xterminal:0.0" and TERM was either "xterm" or "vt125" depending on what
was needed) as you jumped from machine to machine, you never had to set
these or do any thing like "stty erase ^H" and everything worked.

Now all the X-terminals have been replaced with MS-WinNT PC using
Reflection-X software and a central Solaris 2.6 login-server has been
installed.  All logins goto this login-server and then from there you can
login (jump) to "your boxes" (SunOS 4.1.4 types).

As I jump from machine to machine, typically with ssh but sometimes with
telnet and ftp, I am having to manually set my DISPLAY, TERM and enter "stty
erase ^H" all over the place and still the interface between my keyboard and
vi (vim and gvim too) does not work correctly (delete key does not delete
and arrow keys work but move you to a line different from that displayed to
you).

I want to setup my personal environment so that I can return to the good old
days when the settings for DISPLAY, TERM, and key codes were always
correctly self-setting.  How do I do this? 

=================================================
SOLUTION:
I found a setting in my Reflection-X under Settings, Keyboard, Options,
UNCHECK Backspace key sends delete.

Sometimes I still get strange results in vi, vim, and gvim.  I have not
figured this out.  Also, the display no longer returns to previous view when
exiting vi like it did in SunOS 4.1.4, I guess that is a Solaris thing. 

I use csh and to have DISPLAY and TERM set I did the following in my .login
file.......

###
### Try to set DISPLAY to IP address.
###
setenv USER `/usr/ucb/whoami`
setenv RLOGIN `/bin/who am i | /bin/awk '{if (NF > 5 ) {print
(substr($6,2,length($6)-2))}}'`
if ( "${RLOGIN}" != "" ) then
        if ( `echo "${RLOGIN}" | grep :` == "" ) then
                setenv DISPLAY ${RLOGIN}:0.0
        else
                setenv DISPLAY ${RLOGIN}
        endif
endif

###
### Try to set TERM to correct setting.
###
setenv OSV `uname -r | awk -F. '{print $1}'`
switch ( $OSV )
        case 4:
                #SunOS
                setenv TERM xterm
                breaksw
        case 5:
                # Solaris
                setenv TERM dtterm
                breaksw
        defualt:
                # Unknown
                setenv TERM vt100
                breaksw
endsw

stty erase ^H rows 25
echo "DISPLAY= $DISPLAY"
echo "TERM= $TERM"

Add the following to the bottom of your .cshrc.....
###
### Set-up a mutli-line prompt with hostname, login, path, and history
number displayed.
###
set USER=`whoami`
set HOSTNAME=`uname -n`
alias setprompt 'set prompt="\\
${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${cwd}\\
\! % "'
alias cd 'chdir \!* && setprompt'
setprompt           # to set the initial prompt

Hello folks,

We are trying to build a robust FTP solution, and
with that

what
folks are using to provide access to the shared

On a second note, is there a reference chart to
find out
which Sun devices use which SCSI protocol? In
looking
at the D1000 specification page, it shows Ultra
Differential
SCSI but this doesn't line up with the SCSI charts
on the
internet. SHould this be wide differential? I am
curious
what type of HBA I need to purchase on a 250. The
250 has a wide differntial connection if I am not
mistaken.

Thanks for any info,
