TABLE 2–1 Solaris 2.6 Features at a Glance (continued) Feature Description Raw I/O Improvements were made to low-level I/O support routines that dramatically improved throughput for I/O to disk devices without a file system (raw devices). (Raw devices are often used for database files.) The driver for the SPARCstorageTM Array was rewritten to improve its throughput. Network/Web Performance Kernel Sockets The kernel sockets implementation provides improved compatibility with SunOSTM 4.
TABLE 2–1 Solaris 2.6 Features at a Glance (continued) Feature Description Upgrade with Disk Space Reallocation The upgrade option provides an auto-layout feature to reallocate disk space if the current file systems don’t have enough space for the upgrade. Testing Upgrade Profiles The pfinstall command is now available to test profiles that use the upgrade option. Changing a System’s Boot Device A system’s boot device is now changeable during installation.
TABLE 2–1 Solaris 2.6 Features at a Glance (continued) Feature Description Unicode 2.0 Support Two locales which are Unicode 2.0 and ISO 10646 compliant have been added. These locales enable multiscript input and output and are the first locales provided in the Solaris environment with this capability. These locales support the CDE environment only, including the Motif and CDE libraries Font Administration - Font Admin enables easy installation and usage of fonts for the X Window System.
TABLE 2–1 Solaris 2.6 Features at a Glance (continued) Feature Description Versioning/ Scoped Libraries Developers of shared libraries can now have better control over the public interfaces that they offer. This helps to control the dependencies that applications have on these shared libraries. This means the applications are more portable and less affected by changes in the shared libraries, thus leading to higher quality products for both. In the Solaris 2.
TABLE 2–1 Solaris 2.6 Features at a Glance (continued) Feature Description XILTM The XIL foundation imaging library is suitable for libraries or applications requiring imaging or digital video, such as document imaging, color prepress, or digital video generation and playback.

CHAPTER 3 What’s New: A Closer Look This chapter describes new features of the Solaris 2.6 release in detail. For a table listing features with brief descriptions, see Chapter 2. The Solaris 2.6 operating environment includes advanced technologies for multithreading, symmetric multiprocessing, integrated TCP/IP-based networking, and centralized network administration tools. This Solaris release provides many new and exciting features that improve an already powerful, stable, operating environment.
Java Features The Solaris 2.6 operating environment lays the foundation for Java computing by bundling the Java Virtual Machine, the interpreter for the Java language, with the Solaris software. The HotJava browser is also conveniently bundled with Solaris. It is an easy-to-use Internet browser for exploring the World Wide Web and is recommended for viewing AnswerBook2 online documentation and installing by browser. Java Virtual Machine The Java Virtual Machine 1.
The HotJava browser provides a secure environment for running applets. It supports signed applets, which enables you to fine-tune the desired level of security. 4 Full HTML support HTML is the language used to create web pages. The HotJava browser supports the latest HTML standard, which is currently HTML 3.2. 4 HTML verification Whenever you display a page with HTML errors, the HotJava HTML Errors button is activated. Click on this button for a list of the errors.
WebNFS Software WebNFS software enables file systems to be accessible through the Web using the NFS protocol. This protocol is very reliable and provides greater throughput under a heavy load. Also, files can be made publicly accessible without the overhead associated with an anonymous ftp site. Additional information may be found in NFS Administration Guide. Performance Improvements Solaris 2.
TPC-C is a benchmark conducted under the auspices of the Transaction Performance Processing Council (TPC). It simulates a warehouse distribution system. Data is contained in nine tables and five transactions are executed against this data in prespecified mixes. The figure of merit is tpmC, which is shorthand for transactions per minute” in the TPC-C benchmark. UFS Direct I/O Many customers are interested in placing data directly on disk without buffering it in memory. The Solaris 2.
connections and sockets. Finally, the STREAMS framework has been restructured to allow more efficient opening and closing of TCP/IP sockets. The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) has released SPECweb96, a standardized benchmark for comparing web server performance. The benchmark is designed to provide comparable measures of how well systems can handle HTTP GET requests.
Ease-of-Use and Management Improvements The Solaris operating environment is large and complex; its structure gives customers the flexibility to meet their needs.
Configuration Assistant and Booting Software for x86 Platforms The Configuration Assistant interface is part of the new booting system for the Solaris (Intel Platform Edition) software. It determines which hardware devices are in the machine, accounts for the resources each device uses, and enables you to choose which device to boot from. The booting software, including the Configuration Assistant, is installed on the system’s hard disk along with the Solaris operating environment.
To test an upgrade profile, you must run the pfinstall −D command on the system that you’re going to upgrade (against the system’s disk configuration). You cannot test an upgrade profile using a disk configuration file. For more information, see Solaris Advanced Installation Guide. Changing a System’s Boot Device The Solaris 2.6 release now enables you to change a system’s boot device during the installation.
x86 Configuring Peripherals The kdmconfig program is used to configure the mouse, graphics adapter, and monitor on an x86 system. If an OWconfig file already exists, kdmconfig will extract any usable information from it. In addition, this updated version of kdmconfig will also retrieve information left in the devinfo tree by the devconf program, and use that information to automatically identify devices.

TABLE 3–2 New User Locales Included in Solaris 2.6 (continued) Country Locale-Name ISO Code Set Russia ru 8859-5 Greece el 8859-7 Turkey tr 8859-9 These locales are supported through the SUNWploc1, SUNWplow1, and SUNWpldte packages, which are part of the Entire cluster. Two locales, Greek and Russian, are based on non-Latin scripts and require an optional SMCC keyboard for text input. Unicode 2.0 Support Two locals, which are Unicode 2.0 and ISO 10646 compliant, have been added.
Korea are also provided. These locales support the CDE environment only, including the Motif and CDE libraries. Solaris User Registration Solaris User Registration is a registration mechanism invoked when the user first brings up the Solaris 2.6 desktop environment. By registering, customers can take advantage of Sun’s commitment to providing superior service and support.
4 Networking services 4 New X/Open standardized socket and IP address resolution interfaces are available. 4 The X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) is an evolution and standardization of the set of interfaces that were supported by the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) in SVR4. TLI continues to be available for compatibility, but new development should use XTI. For more information, see Transport Interfaces Programming Guide.
4 Synchronized I/O 4 Timers Support for many of these features has been available in the Solaris operating environment for several releases in a non-standards-conformant way. ISO 10646 The ISO 10646 standard defines Unicode 2.0, including UCS-2 and UTF-8 (the standard UNIX implementation). All implementations specified in this standard are Unicode 2.0 compliant.
4 For your application to work with large files (for example, “large-file aware”), you must examine and modify your source code. Examples for areas to modify include: 4 Output and in-memory formatting strings such as %ld to %ll Any variable for temporary storage of sizes or offset information must be correctly sized to avoid truncation 4 Function parameters and return values should be checked and corrected if necessary. 4 For more information, see NFS Administration Guide and System Administration Guide.
Pre-emption Control Pre-emption control allows applications to give scheduling hints to the kernel to prevent preemption for short periods of time. This can improve the performance of some classes of applications such as database servers. /proc File System and Watchpoints The previous flat /proc file system has been restructured into a directory hierarchy that contains additional subdirectories for state information and control functions.
Graphics The Solaris VISUALTM software includes several graphics and multimedia software foundation libraries. Foundation libraries are the lowest-level device-independent layer of the Solaris software. This level of interface is designed to support a wide variety of common functions. You can build higher-level libraries on top of the foundation libraries, or the foundation libraries can be used directly by a software application.
XGL 3.3 Runtime Environment The XGL library is a 2-D and 3-D immediate-mode API that provides application portability across hardware platforms and enables graphics applications to get optimal performance from graphics accelerators. The XGL version 3.3 library enables applications to determine transparency support level and includes a new attribute to enable user control over edge offset. The XGL 3.3 runtime environment (RTE) is included with the Solaris 2.
Tiled Storage The XIL 1.3 library stores very large images in buffers of memory called tiles. If a region of an image within a tile boundary is needed, only that tile is loaded into memory, thereby increasing performance. The library also includes a new storage object, which supports conventional contiguous storage as well as tiled or stripped storage for XIL images. The storage object serves as a container for the image’s attributes, such as its scanline and pixel stride, and its data pointer.
KCMS Multithreaded Programming The Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) software product is a color management solution that ensures color consistency from input devices to output devices. It is technology licensed from Eastman Kodak that was developed in conjunction with SunSoft. KCMS now supports multithreaded programs: it is multithread safe (MT-safe). If your KCMS application uses multithread capabilities, you do not need to put locks around KCMS library calls.
4 The limit of the NFS server for NFS and CacheFS mounted file systems. Existing file I/O interfaces have been modified to detect an error when they are used with a large file. New data types (most with suffixes of 64 or 64_t) and new interfaces (most with suffixes of 64) are provided to operate on large files. New mount Option A new mount option is available to disable the large-file support on UFS file systems.
64-Bit AIO The Solaris operating environment provides a new set of interfaces for developers who want to do asynchronous I/O to large files. The following interfaces accept 64-bit AIO: 4 aio_read64 4 aio_write64 4 lio_listio64 4 aio_suspend64 4 aio_error64 4 aio_return64 The following interfaces exist, but are not supported: 4 aio_fsync64 4 aio_cancel64 These interfaces also work with KAIO. KAIO is the optimized path for doing I/O to raw files.
to add support for a new RPC authentication flavor that is based on the Generalized Security Services API (GSS-API). This support contains the hooks to add stronger security to the NFS environment. The share and mount commands have been altered to provide NFS support for Kerberos. Also, the share command now allows for multiple authentication flavors from different clients. For more information, refer to NFS Administration Guide.
BIND 4.9.4-P1 provides new security over the Internet. The older version of BIND did little to prevent DNS spoofing. Intruders could cause BIND to provide incorrect name data. Services that use this (some of which do not verify data) could be tricked into allowing remote access to unauthorized users. The 4.9.4 version fixes many holes in security. For more information, see Solaris Naming Administration Guide.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enables a host to get an Internet protocol (IP) address and other system configuration parameters preconfigured by the administrator on the DHCP sever. DHCP also enables the host to give up this address when it is no longer required, or when the designated period for its use ends. This protocol improves on the traditional IP address allocation where the system administrator must assign or change each IP address individually.
For more information, see TCP/IP and Data Communications Administration Guide. Routing Sockets The Solaris operating environment now conforms to the de facto routing socket interface as implemented by 4.4 BSD. This interface enables netmask information to be shared between routing protocol implementations and the kernel. It can also be used by implementations of CIDR-aware routing protocols.
NIS+ backup and Fast restore NIS+ backup and restore provide a quick and efficient method of backing up and restoring NIS+ namespaces. For more information, see Solaris Naming Administration Guide. NIS+ Over a Wide Area Network (WAN) NIS+ administrators can now specify NIS+ server search order for clients that need naming services. Server use can be balanced among various clients by designating different servers for different clients as “preferred” (primary).
4 There is less wasted space on user systems. (Tools are installed once instead of with each patch.) 4 Multiple patch handling is easier. New Patch Commands The patchadd and patchrm commands are used to add and remove patches from a Solaris 2.x system. They cannot be used to manage patches on a Solaris 1.x system. You can add one or more patches to a system, client, service, or a net install image.
Currently there are many variations of the SPARC processor, some of which can be treated as separate instruction sets. An application binary that is compiled for one variation may not run, or may run with performance degradation, or may run normally on a machine implementing a different variation. The Isalist utilities provide a standard interface so users can choose their application binary correctly to obtain maximum performance.

Print Protocol Adapter The Solaris 2.
The SunSoft Print Client software is 4 Substantially smaller (183 Kbytes total) than the previous Solaris release. 4 Interoperable with BSD protocol as described in RFC-1179. This includes SunOS 4.x, Solaris 2.x, HP-UX, and other operating environments. The SunSoft Print Client software uses a NIS map, NIS+ table, or a single file to provide centralized client administration in the Solaris 2.6 release.
Hardware Support The Solaris operating environment continues to provide the software needed to support new hardware. PCMCIA PC Card The PC Card Standard defines a 68-pin interface between a credit-card sized peripheral and the PC Card socket in the computer. It also defines a software architecture that enables the computer’s operating system to configure and control the PC Card peripheral dynamically, upon insertion. The Solaris 2.
CHAPTER 4 Using Solaris Web Start This module of the Information Library explains how to use the SolarisTM Web Start installation utility, including advanced techniques. For instructions on what to do, turn to “How to Run Solaris Web Start” on page 4-5.
Use Solaris Web Start to select exactly the software combination to suit your needs, or just click the Default Installation... button to install the default software selections immediately. How Does Solaris Web Start Work? Solaris Web Start lets you choose the product box software you want to install on your machine and creates a profile that reflects your software selections (or the default selections).
4 Which product box you purchased 4 Whether you’re installing a server or a desktop system 4 What Solaris language you’re installing 4 How large your computer’s boot disk is The Solaris Web Start interface always reflects the appropriate defaults for your situation. These defaults are summarized in tabular form when you select the Default Installation... option. Product-Specific Defaults Some default decisions are made by Solaris Web Start on a per-product basis. For Solaris 2.
The details of setting up an install server and performing network-based installations are beyond the scope of this document (see Solaris Advanced Installation Guide). However, having set up an install server with a Solaris 2.6 image, you can use Solaris Web Start in conjunction with it. Getting Started When you boot a system to start the installation, choose to boot from an install server on the network (NET) instead of the system’s CD-ROM (CD). This will bring up Solaris Web Start.
4 Create, rename, move, delete, expand, or shrink file systems 4 View a summary of your choices and confirm them Note - Editing file systems requires advanced system administrator’s knowledge. You should not alter file system layouts unless you are experienced in this area. How to Run Solaris Web Start You can use Solaris Web Start to install the Solaris software on a new system or over a previously installed system.
(Continuation) Target: 0; Port 1F0-1F7, 3F6-3F7; IRQ: 14 If you choose to boot from an install server on the network, you must have an install server set up.

Select the type of installation you want to perform: 1 Solaris Interactive 2 Custom JumpStart 3 Solaris Web Start Enter the number of your choice followed by the ENTER key.
CHAPTER 5 Preserving Existing Operating Systems and User Data Many Intel based systems are preinstalled with other operating systems such as MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows NT, OS/2, or some other vendor’s UNIX® implementation. It’s common that the preinstalled operating system uses the entire disk on the system (on one fdisk partition) and contains data that you don’t want to lose.
TABLE 5–1 Operating Systems That Have Problems Co-Existing With Solaris Operating System Problem Linux Solaris fdisk partition is the same as Linux swap partition; you must delete the Linux swap partition(s) before you install Solaris software. See Linux documentation for instructions. 2. Make sure you have media (CD-ROM or diskettes) containing the existing operating system. Some preloaded systems do not automatically come with media for reinstalling the operating system.
11. Reinstall the operating system on the non-Solaris fdisk partition using the operating system’s installing software. Note - MS-DOS Users Only: The MS-DOS setup program will recognize that the MS-DOS partition is unformatted and prompt you for permission to format it. The setup message suggests that the setup program will format the entire disk (and overwrite the Solaris fdisk partition). However, the setup program only formats the MS-DOS fdisk partition and leaves the Solaris fdisk partition intact.

CHAPTER 6 Upgrading a System This module describes how to upgrade an existing Solaris system.
Frequently Asked Questions About Using the Upgrade Option Q: Will I be able to use the upgrade option on my system? You can use the upgrade option if you are running Solaris 2.4 or later. To see what version of the Solaris operating environment the system is running, type: $ uname -a Q: Do I have to back out patches before I use the upgrade option? No.
Q: Can I automatically upgrade to another software group? No. For example, if you previously installed the end user software group on your system, you cannot use the upgrade option to upgrade to the developer software group. However, you can always add software to the system during the upgrade that is not part of the currently installed software group.
Caution - The following table lists known limitations or changes that need to be made to avoid loss of data during upgrade. This list is not complete. Always check co-packaged and third-party software documentation for upgrading instructions.

CHAPTER 7 Troubleshooting This module provides a list of specific error messages and generic problems that you may encounter when installing the Solaris software. Start by using the following list to identify where in the installation process the problem is occurring.
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable Problem How to Fix the Problem The system cannot find the proper media for booting. Verify that the system has been set up properly to install over the network from an install server. For example, make sure you specified the right platform group for the system when you set it up. Also, if you did not copy the Solaris CD, make sure the Solaris CD on the install server is mounted and accessible.
General Problems Problem How to Fix the Problem x86 based systems only. If the first fdisk partition is primary DOS (PRI DOS), use the fdisk program to delete space from it. Try booting again. If the first fdisk partition is extended DOS (EXT DOS) or another operating system, use the fdisk program to delete it. Try booting again. The Solaris root slice must reside within the first 1024 cylinders of the disk. If it does not, the installation fails after booting.

Problem How to Fix the Problem Bug ID: 1170953 The upgrade option is not presented even though there is a version of Solaris software that’s upgradable on the system. Reason 1: The /var/sadm directory is a symlink or it is mounted from another file system. Solution for Reason 1: Move the /var/sadm directory into the root (/) or /var file system. Reason 2: The /var/sadm/softinfo/ INST_RELEASE file is missing.
Problem How to Fix the Problem There is not enough space on the system for the upgrade. Check the following reasons for the space problem and see if you can fix it without using auto-layout to rearrange space: Reason 1: Since the automounter is not active during an upgrade, the Solaris installation program installs any package’s files or directories that are symbolic links to automounted file systems. If a symbolic link is overwritten, the upgrade may fail because of insufficient disk space.
CHAPTER 8 Adding and Removing Packages This module describes how to add software packages to a system from the Solaris CD or another product CD, and how to remove software packages from a system. There are two methods for performing these tasks, from the command line and from a graphical user interface, Admintool. For more information on adding and removing software packages on client systems in a variety of computing environments, see the Solaris 2.6 System Administration Guide.
At the shell prompt, type: $ su 2. Load the CD that contains the packages to be added into the CD-ROM drive. Volume Manager will automatically mount the CD. 3. Add one or more packages to the system using the pkgadd command. # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d device_name pkgid In this command, device_name Is the path to the CD with the software to be added to the installed system. pkgid Is the name of the software package to be added to the installed system. For example, SUNWaudio.
Example—Installing Software From a Mounted CD The following example shows a command to install the SUNWaudio package from a mounted Solaris 2.6 CD. The example also shows the use of the pkgchk command to verify that the package files were installed properly. # /usr/sbin/pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_2.6 SUNWaudio. . . Installation of was successful.
If the pkgchk command determines that the package is not installed, it will print a warning message. Example—Removing Software From a System The following example shows a command to remove the SUNWaudio package from a system. The example also shows the use of the pkgchk command to verify that the package files were removed. # /usr/sbin/pkgrm SUNWaudio The following package is currently installed: SUNWaudio Audio applications^M (sparc) 3.0,REV=1.2.13^M Do you want to remove this package? y . . .
Volume Manager will automatically mount the CD. 3. Start Admintool. # admintool & The Users window is displayed. 4. Choose Software from the Browse menu. The Software window is displayed. 5. Choose Add from the Edit menu. The Set Source Media window may appear. If so, specify the path to the installation media and click on OK. The default path is a mounted SPARC Solaris CD. The Add Software window is displayed. 6. Select the software you want to install on the local system.
A Command Tool window appears for each package being installed, displaying the installation output. The Software window refreshes to display the packages just added. How to Remove Packages With Admintool 1. Log in to the installed system and become root. At the shell prompt, type: $ su Unless you are a member of the UNIX sysadmin group (group 14), you must become root on your system to add or remove software packages with Admintool. 2. Start Admintool. # admintool & 3.
4. Select the software you want to remove from the local system. 5. Choose Delete from the Edit menu. A warning pop-up window is displayed to confirm whether you really want to delete the software. 6. Click Delete to confirm that you want to remove the software. For each package that is being deleted, a Command Tool window is displayed that asks for confirmation, again, on deleting the software. Type y, n, or q. If you choose to delete the software, the output from the removal process is displayed.

For example, the user could have the following line in the .cshrc file: setenv AB2_DEFAULTSERVER http://imayoyo.eng.sun.com:8888 If the user has not defined an environment variable, when the user launches AnswerBook2 from the desktop, the system performs an fnlookup thisorgunit/service/answerbook2 command to find out what document servers are available. It then chooses one of those servers and launches the AnswerBook2 browser using that server name for the URL.
CHAPTER 10 Configuring Devices This module of Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) describes how to use the SolarisTM 2.6 Intel Platform Edition Device Configuration Assistant software, manufacturers’ device configuration media and documentation, and Device Reference Pages to configure your x86 based system to run in the Solaris operating environment and to solve configuration problems. Identifying and Correcting Problems Use the Solaris 2.
Identifying a Problem With an Existing Device 1. Consult the manufacturer’s documentation and Device Reference Page, if there is one. Ensure the device is properly configured and does not conflict with other devices in the system. 2. Reboot the system with the Solaris 2.6 (Intel Platform Edition) Device Configuration Assistant Boot Diskette. 3. Select Partial Scan to identify the devices that are automatically detected. 4.
4. Go back to the Device Tasks menu, select Review/Edit Devices, and examine the list of devices provided to determine if the problem device conflicts with another device. Note - This method may not work if a hardware conflict interferes with the ability of the device scan to correctly determine the configuration of a device.
The program should warn you if there is a conflict. 3. When the scan is successful, go to the Boot Solaris menu and select a device to boot from. 4 If you plan to boot or install from a CD-ROM, select CD. 4 If you plan to boot or install using the network and your machine is registered as a netinstall client, select NET. 4 If you plan to boot from the machine’s installed hard disk, select DISK.
4. Boot the Solaris software. Unrecognized Devices Issue What to Do How a known ISA or EISA device can be recognized by the Configuration Assistant software. The address chosen for the unrecognized device may have been allocated to some other system device. Manually provide nonconflicting address information for the unrecognized device using the EISA configuration utility (ECU). The Configuration Assistant uses that information to identify that device for the Solaris environment.
Autobooting Issue What to Do How to recover if your machine fails to autoboot. If you have a loopback serial cable between COM1 and COM2 with autobooting enabled, use the eprom command to set one of the following properties: epromcom1-noprobe true or epromcom2-noprobe true. Using Manufacturers’ Configuration Programs ISA Cards in EISA Machines Issue What to Do How to add an ISA device to an EISA machine.
PCI Devices Issue What to Do How to control the assignments of IRQs to PCI devices. In the chipset configuration of the system, verify that an IRQ is enabled for PCI bus use. After checking IRQs used by ISA devices, assign as many available IRQs to PCI devices as possible so that the PCI bus can resolve device conflicts. System BIOS Issue What to Do How to use the system BIOS to change device settings.
Graphics Devices Issue What to Do How to configure an unrecognized graphics device manually. If hardware limitations or inadequate information from the BIOS prevent proper configuration of a graphics device, manually configure the devices by providing information to the kdmconfig software interface. How to verify the configuration of graphics devices. Check the sample display provided after configuration and click to accept the configuration.
Note - Any time you add, remove, or replace hardware, run the Configuration Assistant utility. For example, to replace a 3Com EtherLink III card with an SMC EtherEZ card, run the following command as root: # mv /etc/hostname.elx0 /etc/hostname.
Third-party drivers are provided for the convenience of Solaris customers and are tested to ensure that they meet acceptable standards of operability.

4 When the AHA-274x host bus adapter runs under heavy load, the tape device loses arbitration contests to faster devices with higher priorities and produces “Media Error” messages. To avoid this problem, change the SCSI ID of the adapter so that it is lower than the tape device setting. 4 For example, set the tape drive’s SCSI ID to 7 using jumpers or an external switch. Then set the AHA-274x SCSI ID to 6 using the ECU.
slot has an AHA-274x controller, the address is 0x1C00, and if the adjacent slot also has an AHA-274x controller, the address is 0x2C00. Motherboard manufacturers usually map the controller chip on the motherboard at the highest EISA slot plus 1. Thus in an EISA motherboard with three EISA slots, the motherboard AIC-7770 address is 0x4C00. The BIOS base address is selected from a range of choices on the manufacturer-supplied configuration utility.

Audio Cards Analog Devices AD1848 and Compatible Devices Solaris Device Driver: sbpro Device Type: Audio Chips: Analog Devices AD1848, Compatible Devices (on computer motherboard or add-in card) Bus Types: ISA, EISA Note - The features and interfaces that are supported by the Solaris sbpro driver are described in the audio(7D) and sbpro(7D) man pages. Compatible Device Information Selected AD1848-based devices are supported by the sbpro device driver.
4 Compaq Deskpro XL Business Audio with built-in AD1847 chip 4 Turtle Beach Tropez card with CS4231 chip Some other 100 percent hardware-compatible devices may also function using the sbpro driver; however, they have not been tested or certified with the Solaris operating environment. The Turtle Beach Tropez card may interfere with the operation of other ISA devices in the system, such as the 3COM 3C509 and SMC ELITE-16 Ethernet adapters.
Compaq Deskpro XL Business Audio With Built-in AD1847 Chip • I/O Address: 0x530, 0x604, 0xE80, 0xF40 The sbpro driver automatically chooses an unused DMA channel and IRQ line for the device. Note - The sbpro support for the AD1848 and compatibles uses one DMA channel for both play and record; simultaneous play/record is not supported. Turtle Beach Tropez Card With CS4231 Chip • I/O Address: 0x530 The sbpro driver automatically chooses an unused DMA channel and IRQ line for the device.
Some devices are not able to detect such a conflict. The driver will try to use the card, but that will likely result in the system hanging when the card is first used. Thus, it is important to choose an IRQ that does not conflict with another device. 4 Although the sbpro driver supports A-law encoding on AD1848 and compatible devices, audiotool(1) does not and produces an error message if you select A-law encoding.

3Com EtherLink III (3C562, 3C589) PC Cards Solaris Device Driver: pcelx Device Type: Network (Ethernet) Adapter:: 3Com EtherLink III 3C562 (network, modem), EtherLink III 3C589 (network) Bus Type: PC Card Preconfiguration Information 4 IBM ThinkPad 760E series systems and systems using the TI PCI1130 PCI-to-CardBus chip only: Before bringing the system onto the network, put the PC Card into 8-bit mode by creating a file called /kernel/drv/pcelx.conf containing force-8bit=1; .
2. Boot the system. 3. Insert the 3Com EtherLink III PC Card device. Identifying an Unrecognized Card If you insert a 3C562 or 3C589 card and it isn’t recognized (no special files created), use the prtconf command to try to identify the problem. 1. Become root. 2. Run the prtconf -D command to see if your 3C562 or 3C589 card is recognized. A recognized device will appear in the prtconf output. For example: # prtconf -D . . . pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic) . . .
Note - This process is described in TCP/IP and Data Communications Administration Guide. Special Files Device naming in /dev follows standard LAN device naming except that the PPA (Physical Point of Attachment) unit number is the socket where the card resides, not the instance. That is, for the pcelx driver, /dev/pcelx0 (or PPA 0 of /dev/pcelx) is the card in socket 0, while a card in socket 1 is /dev/pcelx1 (or PPA 1 of /dev/pcelx). See the pcelx(7D) man page.
Modem and Serial PC Card Devices Solaris Device Driver: pcser Device Type: Modem and serial PC Card devices based on the 8250, 16550, or compatible UART at speeds up to 115 Kbps Bus Type: PC Card Preconfiguration Information If a PC Card modem or serial device is recognized, the pcser device driver is automatically loaded, ports and IRQs allocated, and special files created (if they don’t already exist). Configuration Procedure Initial Installation and Configuration 1.
# prtconf -D . . . pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic) . . . pccard111.222 (driver not attached) 3. If your device is not recognized “(driver not attached)”, use the add_drv command to add the name of your device as another known alias for pcser devices. For example, type the following at the command line: # add_drv -i‘"pccard111.222"’ pcser Note - Include the double quotes in single quotes to keep the shell from stripping out the double quotes.
3. To work properly with the Solaris operating environment, all devices must be accounted for, even those the Solaris environment does not support. The Configuration Assistant software accounts for all devices in your system. Additional Configuration When adding a new serial port or modem to the system, you often need to edit configuration files so that applications can use the new communications port. For example, the /etc/uucp/devices file needs to be updated to use UUCP and PPP.
SRAM and DRAM PC Card Devices Solaris Device Driver: pcram Device Types: Static RAM (SRAM), Dynamic RAM (DRAM) Bus Type: PC Card Note - Flash RAM devices are not supported. Preconfiguration Information If a PC Card memory device is recognized, the pcram device driver is automatically loaded, the physical address allocated, and special files created (if they don’t already exist).
Identifying an Unrecognized Device If you insert a memory device and it isn’t recognized (no special files created), use the prtconf command. 1. Become root. 2. Run the prtconf -D command to display the configuration recognized by the system. A recognized device will appear in the prtconf output. For example: # prtconf -D . . . pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic) . . . memory, instance #0 (driver name: pcmem) pcram, instance #0 (driver name: pcram) 3.
Note - A device name can be specified either by a partition name (p#) or a slice name (s#), but not both. Using PC Card Memory Devices Since the Solaris Volume Management software recognizes PC Card memory devices, no special vold configuration is required. ♦ If you don’t want to use vold to manage your PC Card memory devices, comment out the "use pcmem" line in the /etc/vold.conf file. To comment out a line, insert a # character at the beginning of the line.
Viper 8260pA and SanDisk Flash PC Card ATA Devices Solaris Device Driver: pcata Device Type: ATA PC Card Adapters: Viper 8260pA, SanDisk Flash, or any PC Card ATA device Bus Type: PC Card Preconfiguration Information If a PC Card ATA device is recognized, the pcata device driver is automatically loaded, IRQs allocated, devices nodes created, and special files created (if they don’t already exist). Known Problems and Limitations 4 vold does not support pcata.
2. Boot the system. 3. Insert the PC Card ATA device. Identifying an Unrecognized Card If you insert a PC Card ATA device and it isn’t recognized (no special files are created), use the prtconf command to try to identify the problem. 1. Run the prtconf -D command to see if your pcata card is recognized. A recognized device will appear at the end of the prtconf -D output. For example: # prtconf -D . . . pcic, instance #0 (driver name: pcic) . . . disk, instance #0 2.
