Symptoms: When a user logs in
to the web interface, the login page clocks and it takes a long time to display
the published applications. This problem is observed when the same web interface
site is used to access multiple farms or retired servers.
Cause: All the servers listed to
contact one of the specified farms are not responding. This causes the web
interface server to continue attempting to contact that farm during a
confgurable time before it fails and display the published resources for the available farms. Possible causes for the servers not responding: Servers are
down, the Citrix XML service is not running.
Resolution: Change the servers used
to contact the non responding farm for working servers or remove the farm from
the web interface site if it's not longer required. Remove retired servers from the web interface farm web sites and Services site.

Set PATH variable in UNIX
The PATH environment variable is a colon-delimited list of directories that your shell searches through when you enter a command.
Program files (executables) are kept in many different places on the Unix system. Your path tells the Unix shell where to look on the system when you request a particular program. Having more directories in your path will reduce the number of times you get "Command not found" errors, but might put you at greater risk of activating a Trojan horse.
To find out what your path is, at the Unix shell prompt, enter:
echo $PATH
Your path will look something like the following.
/usr2/username/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:.
You will see your username in place of username. Using the above example path, if you enter the ls command, your shell will look for the appropriate executable file in the following order: first, it would look through the directory /usr2/username/bin, then /usr/local/bin, then /usr/bin, and finally the local directory, indicated by the . (a period).
To modify your path
If you are using csh or tcsh, at the shell prompt, enter:
setenv PATH $PATH\:/dir/path
If you are using sh, ksh, or bash, at the shell prompt, enter:
PATH=$PATH\:/dir/path ; export PATH
In all cases, replace /dir/path with the directory you want the shell to search.
Note: The earlier entries in the path take precedence over the later ones. If you want the directories you add to your path to take precedence, in the examples above, replace $PATH\:/dir/path with /dir/path:$PATH .
To make these changes permanent, add the commands described above to the end of your .cshrc file (for csh and tcsh), .profile file (for sh and ksh), or .bash_profile file (for bash).

Solaris "sys-unconfig" to modify basic settings
Sometimes, we run into chnaging hostname, ipaddress and network settings on Sun Solaris servers. We can do it by modifying /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname."nic", netmasks, nodename and etc. But modyfying these files won't change network settings or hostname in some situations. In these situations our best tool is "sys-unconfig".

Moving /usr, /var & /opt to a different partition in Solaris
1. Add new hard drive to make new partitions
2. Boot server with cdrom in single user mode # boot cdrom –s
3. Mount the partition where we are copying from # mount –o rw /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /mnt
4. Mount the partition where we are copying to # mount –o rw /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 /mnt/test
5. Go to /mnt/test folder – # cd /mnt/test
6. Run this command to copy stuff # ufsdump 0f - /mnt/usr | ufsrestore rf –
7. Go to # cd /mnt/test/usr and run “mv * ..”
8. The above step copy all files form usr sub folder to root folder
9. Go to # cd /mnt/test
10. Make a dir local # mkdir /mnt/test/local
11. Type cd /
12. # umount /mnt/test
13. DO above steps from 4 to 9 for moving var folder
14. Creat a subfolder “run” under /var folder on new partition /mnt/test # mkdir /mnt/test/run . This is very critical for coming root in multiuser mode.
15. Type cd /
16. #umount /mnt/test
17. Do above steps for moving “opt” folder for steps 4 to 12 except step 10
18. Type cd / ; #umount /mnt/test
19. Now go to the /mnt folder (Which is the main root file system)
20. Move directories to # mv usr usr.bak ; # mv var var.bak ; # mv opt opt.bak to roll back all changes if needed
21. Create usr, var and opt folders # mkdir usr, #mkdir var; #mkdir opt
22. Some time the newly created usr folder needs these parameters to set # chown root /mnt/usr; #chgrp sys /mnt/sys; #chmod 755 /mnt/usr
23. Modify the vfstab file # EDITOR=vi; # export vi; # TERM=vt100; # export TERM; # vi /mnt/etc/vfstab and do respect changes
24. Do not forget “-“ mount option at the end and it looks like
25. “ /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0 /usr ufs 1 no - “
26. Reboot or STOP +a boot -ar
2. Boot server with cdrom in single user mode # boot cdrom –s
3. Mount the partition where we are copying from # mount –o rw /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /mnt
4. Mount the partition where we are copying to # mount –o rw /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s0 /mnt/test
5. Go to /mnt/test folder – # cd /mnt/test
6. Run this command to copy stuff # ufsdump 0f - /mnt/usr | ufsrestore rf –
7. Go to # cd /mnt/test/usr and run “mv * ..”
8. The above step copy all files form usr sub folder to root folder
9. Go to # cd /mnt/test
10. Make a dir local # mkdir /mnt/test/local
11. Type cd /
12. # umount /mnt/test
13. DO above steps from 4 to 9 for moving var folder
14. Creat a subfolder “run” under /var folder on new partition /mnt/test # mkdir /mnt/test/run . This is very critical for coming root in multiuser mode.

16. #umount /mnt/test
17. Do above steps for moving “opt” folder for steps 4 to 12 except step 10

19. Now go to the /mnt folder (Which is the main root file system)
20. Move directories to # mv usr usr.bak ; # mv var var.bak ; # mv opt opt.bak to roll back all changes if needed
21. Create usr, var and opt folders # mkdir usr, #mkdir var; #mkdir opt

pcieb: cannot load driver in Solaris
If you get thsi following error:
Rebooting with command: boot
Use is subject to license terms.
pcieb: cannot load driver
pcieb: cannot load driver
Cannot load drivers for /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@0,0:d
Can't load the root filesystem
Type 'go' to resume
{0} ok
SPARC Enterprise
Recommended Action:
If the messages showed in
/etc/name_to_major file and the /etc/driver_aliases file by the
following procedure before rebooting the system.
1) Change the driver names in the /etc/name_to_major file as shown
below by using vi editor.
Before Changing - - After Changing
-------------------------------------
pcieb - - px_pci
pcieb_bcm - - pxb_bcm
nulldriver - - pxb_plx
-------------------------------------
# TERM=vt100
# export TERM
# cd /etc
# vi name_to_major
pcieb 242
^^^^^ Change to "px_pci"
pcieb_bcm 264
^^^^^^^^^ Change to "pxb_bcm"
nulldriver 265
^^^^^^^^^^ Change to "pxb_plx"
2) Change the driver names in the /etc/driver_aliases file as shown
below by using vi editor.
Before Changing - - After Changing
-------------------------------------
pcieb - - px_pci
pcieb_bcm - - pxb_bcm
-------------------------------------
# cd /etc
# vi driver_aliases
pcieb "pciexclass,060400"
^^^^^ Change to "px_pci"
pcieb_bcm "pciex1166,103"
^^^^^^^^^ Change to "pxb_bcm"
3) Reboot system
# shutdown -y -i6 -g0
If are unable to do on a server, try rebooting the server with CD. Mount the root file system and do the above actions.
Have a nice day!
