Anyone here know offhand if it's possible to share the same directory tree (e.g. zfs/files) twice, once with nfs and once with smb ? Solaris 10.
Since it gets lumped in under my solaris ten-foot-pole rule, I've never used zfs. So take the following with an appropriately sized grain of salt (especially if you've already btdt with this reference).

The "Troubleshooting ZFS Share Problems" (located under the "legacy zfs sharing syntax") section of the Oracle Solaris Administration Guide to ZFS File Systems seems to indicate you can, and gives specifics for legacy versions of zfs (I'm guessing solaris 10 would constitute legacy).

Oracle wrote:
You can create a file system share with both NFS and SMB protocols by using the zfs set share command.
Code:
# zfs set share=name=ds,path=/ds,prot=nfs,prot=smb rpool/ds
name=ds,path=/ds,prot=nfs,prot=smb
If you want to create a file system share with both NFS and SMB protocols by using the legacy share command, you must specify the command twice. For example:
Code:
# share -F nfs /rpool/ds
# share -F smb /rpool/ds
# zfs get share rpool/df
name=rpool_ds,path=/rpool/ds,prot=nfs,prot=smb
A share path or description that includes a comma (,) must be quoted with double quotes.
If they're right, the original reference can be found here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/htm ... html#glixo

I want to install a DG5-8. Does anyone have the screen resolution options with this configuration?
There are a number of predefined combination files included with a reasonably complete IRIX/IR installation - take a look in /usr/gfx/ucode/KONA/dg4/cmb . The predefined combinations can give you a rough idea of what might be possible. Those will only touch on the possibilities, IR graphics are very customizable, so SGI probably anticipated most customers would create their own display formats. To get a better idea open a few of the supplied combination files with ircombine and try tweaking them to see if you can find a combination that suits your needs. Once you understand how it works, the ircombine gui will indicate if you've exceeded the capabilities of your IR graphics set.

I suspect it's not exactly what you had in mind, but the InfiniteReality Video Format Combiner User's Guide should provide enough background on the basics of IR display capabilities to get you started: http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi ... /ch01.html

Another LTO tape drive tested and confirmed working with IRIX. This one is a Certance (Quantum) LTO 2HH (half-height) drive, model CL1001. I couldn't find a Quantum supplied kernel configuration file, so I modified the IBM LTO-2 / Ultrium-TD2 config file so it would work with the Quantum/Certance drive (see the Identifing Non-Standard Tape Drives under IRIX 6.5 article in the neko-wiki for more on modifying tape drive kernel config files).

After the modified config file was added (and the kernel rebuilt) the drive was recognized by IRIX:

Code: Select all

Integral SCSI controller 6: Version LS1030, low voltage differential
Tape drive: unit 6 on SCSI controller 6: DAT

# mt status
Controller: SCSI
Device: CERTANCE: ULTRIUM 2       19145405
Status: 0x20262
Drive type: DAT
Media : READY, writable, at BOT

and here's the modified configuration file:

Code: Select all

/* Certance LTO-2 / Ultrium 2 */
{ DATTAPE, TPDAT, 8, 9, "CERTANCE", "ULTRIUM 2", 0, 0, {0},

tpsc_default_dens_count, tpsc_default_hwg_dens_names,
tpsc_default_alias_dens_names,
{0}, 0, 0, 0,
0, (u_char *)0 },
Using the IRIX GUI for cpio, the half-height Certance/Quantum LTO 2 drive completed a 12.4GB full system backup in 9 minutes 43 seconds.

EDIT: Managed to find an original Quantum/Certance kernel config file for this drive in the Certance On-Line User's Guide for LTO-1/LTO-2 Tape Drives (see page 63). There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two, but here it is for posterities sake:

There was a set of rails on the very first O350 I had. I ran the numbers off of that set of rails and turned up some that were used on a similarly sized Sun box from the same era. At the time I looked at a few of the Sun rails and they did appear to be very close in appearance, as well as readily available (or at least they were at the time).

That's all been long enough I don't recall the rail part number, or even which Sun box they were used on. If you're interested I'll did around and see if I can turn up my notes.

Dug up those notes on the similar *appearing* Sun rack rails. The set of SGI rails I have were made by General Devices (and these were on an O350 - my O300 came without rack or rails).

Anyway, the rails appeared very similar to those sold for use with the Sun v20z and v40z - Sun part numbers 370-6767 / S01854.

Let me stress I only made a visual comparison, but if somebody has access to a set (or is willing to take a chance on an inexpensive set), it might be another source for O300/O350 rack rails - which are something that seem to almost never get left (complete) on a system.

I just picked up an Onyx 300 and I can pull off the rails to get a part number or a measurement for you if that would help.
Here's the measurements for the O350 set - if you'd like to include on from an Origin/Onyx 300 that'd probably show if they use different length rails (the O350 chassis is longer than an O300).

The O350 set:
Inner Rail (that attaches to the O350) 22.5".
Outer Rail (attaches to the rack) 26" closed, 41" extended
Inner and outer rails assembled and extended to the locks - 53".

If any one does decide to try a set from a Sun, probably wouldn't hurt to ask for some measurements.


@mopar5150 - measure the rails later - tell us more about this Onyx300 :D

That had to hurt ;)

Looks like two full graphics pipes with six raster/texture boards. So basically you have two complete InfiniteReality Graphics systems shared by the same O300 processor complex. You're gonna need a couple of 220V outlets.

On the very slim chance you haven't already found it, the SGI Onyx 300 Graphics System User's Guide makes a handy bookmark.
mopar5150 wrote: I will post a hinv as soon as they let me touch it.
If they'll let you take another reasonably close look, you can get an idea of which InfiniteReality board sets are in it. Each of the boards in the graphics brick will have a descriptive label (along the bottom edge of the board).

There's been a couple of discussions on loading, moving and unloading assembled rack systems in pickup trucks (without the use of a loading dock) . Fairly easy if you have a helper, doable solo if you're reasonably strong and carefully think things out.

Unless there's something that got left out of the photos of your Onyx 300 rack, it looks like the Power Bay is there solely to provide 48VDC power to your .5A max L2 Controller. That's a little on the overkill side if you consider SGI recommended a Power Bay config with a minimum of two power modules, which are rated at 1000w each at 220V.

The L2 Controller uses 48VDC connected via a 50-pin D-shell connector. If you prefer you can power the L2 with a palm-sized wall-wart style external power brick. SGI supplied some systems with their own version, but those are almost impossible to come by. The alternative is to splice the 48-pin connector onto a suitable 48VDC power brick. If that ends up under consideration, jan-jaap might still have the necessary 50-pin connector bits available - his post also has a link to how the connector is wired: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16724207&p=7344195&#p7344195

Hello malol, welcome to nekochan.

You didn't mention how you changed the login window, but you might check the configuration state for "noiconlogin". If it's set to on, try changing it to "off""

Code: Select all

chkconfig noiconlogin off

I have a Dell LTO-1 that uses standard HP LTO-1 firmware. If you connect the drive you should be able to get the details on what the tape drive firmware reports to IRIX. My Dell LTO-1 isn't an autoloader, but if the mechanism is the same there's a copy of the kernel configuration file I used a few posts back . If your LTO Autoloader uses a different mechanism, there are several elsewhere in this topic (and more in/var/sysgen/master.d/scsi), or we can try tweaking one to fit.

If you've previously run MAKEDEV tape on a different tape drive you'll probably want to clear the old configuration before you run MAKEDEV on this one. Running "ls -l /dev/tape " and "ls -l /dev/nrtape" will tell if there's an existing tape configuration (/dev/tape and /dev/nrtape are symbolic links to /hw/tape - by way of /dev/rmt/tape and /dev/rmt/nrtape). If either invocation of ls -l returned a link to a device, you'll probably want to remove /dev/tape and /dev/nrtape before running MAKEDEV on the new drive.

bjornl wrote: The drives will probably work with one of the configuration settings here, but how about the changer.
Jan-jaap mentioned using a script (under linux) to cycle the loader in this post - perhaps he'll catch this and offer his opinion on doing the feasibility of doing the same under IRIX. If all else fails you could manually cycle the loader - if you can get anywhere near the LTO-1 max theoretical capacity of 200GB you shouldn't have to manually load too often. The IRIX man page for xfsdump actually looks very similar to the linux version I looked at, both make mention of spanning tapes, provide for an option that will notify you when the tape needs changed, and mentions you can preform a multi-stream dump to both of the drives in your changer:
the xfsdump man page wrote: To perform a level 0, multi-stream dump to two locally mounted tape drives:

Code: Select all

# xfsdump -L session_2 -f /dev/rmt/tps4d6v -M tape_1 \
-f /dev/rmt/tps5d6v -M tape_2 /

BTW - if you do want to use compression you'll have to update /dev/tape (and /dev/nrtape) so the sym links point at the correct device. While it did create a device that can provide for compression, IRIX didn't set up any of the drives I've tried to use that device configuration. All of the initially created device links pointed at the variable block size device (without compression), "tps6d6 v " and tps6d6nr v ("man tps" will give you the info needed to decipher those device strings). After looking at the contents of /hw/tape ("ls -l /hw/tape), I relinked to the devices that provided both varible block size *and* compression - "tps6d6 vc " and "tps6d6nr vc ". Both of those examples are for the SDLT I currently have connected, they may be somewhat different in the case of your LTO-1.
bjornl wrote: Any software recommendation? Amanda? I don't think cpio or tar will can handle the automatic changer.
So far I've only used the backup choices provided by IRIX. I was able to restore a system with a "full system backup" tape created using the IRIX GUI for cpio - booted to an IRIX install CD and used the PROM "system recovery" tool.

Any links to mirrors still providing access to Solaris 7 binary packages would be most welcome

I think this might be what you're looking for.... Freeware List for Solaris 7 - SPARC The link is pointed at gcc, but if I got the wrong Solaris version there's a list of sunfreeware mirrors for other Processors/OSs on this page.

editres ?

The less elegant method would be to manually change .Sgiresources or .Xresources. You'll probably want to double check my googled up syntax in the man pages before you pull the trigger, but something like:
Code:
*.XmScrollBar.width: <your desired width in pixels>

Got the SGI-propriatary VW320-specific drivers? Been a while, but the last time I looked there were some VW320 downloads available on SGI's Supportfolio site.

If you haven't already been there, SGI also has some VW320 info archived on their ftp.
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/320-540/ntvidindex.shtml
There still is some info out there regarding video capture:
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/320-540/uncompressed.shtml
and a clue as to which SGI-specific digital media modules (sgidmedia.dll, sgidv.dll, sgijpeg.dll, sgilivfw.dll, sgiqt.qtr, sgiqt.qtx, sgival.dll, sgiyuv.dll) and drivers (sgijack.sys, sgilivid.sys) were used by the VW320:
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/320-540/QTdates.htm and ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/320-540/premfaq.shtml
Some of the VW320 drivers look to still be available on what's left of reality.sgi:
http://reality.sgiweb.org/grossen/vw320/
And there's also a few "win2k" ssk patches on SGI's public ftp:
ftp://patches.sgi.com/pub/win2k/
Looks like a number of the links are MIA, but there is a quicktime capture utility over in the programming examples folder:
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/320-540/examples/index.htm

There's also a few additional mentions of the VW here:
http://www.frontlinemedia.de/sgi320/

Does anybody have a simple recipe for converting a physical Windows install to a VirtualBox install? I'm trying to wean a certain family member off Windows co-dependence and I have a better idea what I want to do with that box anyway!


Why not approach the issue from the opposite direction and install the FOS operating system into a virtual machine on the existing, already running and licensed, copy of Windows?

Should eliminate most of the installation and licensing headaches - not to mention another page and a half of philosophical differences of opinion.

What kind of rack is that underneath? I've been in the market for a nicer way to store my O300.
It's a 17U SGI short-rack . Very heavily built with double wall construction and front and rear doors, which helps lower the sound level of installed hardware.

A couple of years ago kshcsuf created an alternative O2 video capture app called pjcap.

No specific mentions 175Mhz O2s, but pjcap seems to have been reasonably well-received at the time. At the time it was offered was I no longer using an O2 (so I can't offer personal experience).

The original d/l links look dead - but neko attached a copy to a post (on the second page): viewtopic.php?f=16&t=16722588

I think it might have been a very early example of marketing jargon - they'd automatically mail you an updated support pricing structure for every press of that button.

I'm currently away from my gear, so I'm not able to look, but clicking the drop arrow next to the product name in Software Manager should give you additional detail as to which subsystems were (or weren't) installed and where installed files should be located in your directory structure.

The product release notes are another good source of the how, what, where and why of a particular installation package. If the product name appears as underscored blue text in Software Manager (like the example in your screen capture), you can open the release notes by clicking the highlighted product name. If you're working from the command line, release notes can typically be called with some variation of the following command
Code:
relnotes /usr/relnotes/insert_name_of_product_here
.

Not sure if you still want the info, but since I'm now back home with the gear......

My DMediaPro DM2/DM3 ML Development Environment looks to be pretty much the same as yours (btw, that's 8 kilo bytes):

If you've got your V12/DCD/DM2 hardware setup as illustrated in one of the Discreet manuals , my *guess* is a completely configured Discreet software environment (along with any other required-by-discreet hardware) might be the fly in the ointment. If the Discreet end doesn't have the at least the minimum configuration needed to be functional, I don't think he underlying ml_xtdigvid installation will offer much in the way of end-user functionality.

I've gotten into the habit of always doing a custom install rather than use the default selections - which is probably how I ended up with the diagnostic subsystems installed.

You already have the same distribution I used.

Have you tried using the drop arrow next to expand the selection DMediaPro DM2/DM3 ML Execution Environment 1.1.3ml for IRIX 6.5 so that the subsystem choices (like Diagnostics) are exposed for selection?

As far as I know there was only one 1.1.3 revision released. If the sub-selection for Diagnostics doesn't appear, you could double check make sure Software Manager isn't set up to allow viewing of only top level product selections .

For Sale (or possibly trade): 600Mhz Fuel 1GB, V10 graphics, 3GB of memory (two 1GB and two 512MB DIMMs), has both a 36GB and 300GB hard drive, an internal DVD-ROM drive, EMU audio, and an internal DDS4 tape drive. If desired, I also have an SGI F180 18" LCD monitor that could be purchased separately (though you should be able use just about any standard monitor with a DVI port - because of its DVI graphics port, the Fuel does not require a sync-on-green monitor).

I'm located in central North Carolina USA.

This one has a later revision motherboard (that isn't prone to the faulty environmental monitoring chip), and a late revision 460 watt power supply (not know to be as failure prone as the earlier revision 430w NMB units).

The Fuel includes a clean install of a hardware appropriate operating system (PM me for details). If desired I can do initial configuration for the buyer (networking, user account, etc.)

The skins look pretty good, but they aren't perfect - it's the one on the left in the attached photo:

I'm asking $350 for the Fuel (plus shipping), or I'd consider some sort of trade for a free-standing home NAS/network storage system or an Intel based Mac, preferably one with an mini-display port.

If you're on a tight budget I'll also accept offers for the Fuel without some of the add-ons.

Anything slightly more enlightening appear in the log file(s?) mentioned in your xtdigvid_confidence screenshot?

I'd suggest posting a copy of the log (/usr/tmp/XTDIGVID_logs/xtdigvid_confidence.log.12-11-11_23.07) and the test summary (/usr/tmp/XTDIGVID_logs/test.sum) to see if anyone can offer additional advice after looking at the contents of those log files.

I noticed the FAIL message visible in your screen capture refers to a loopback test and wondered if the fail might have occurred because the test might have required some specific loopback cabling configuration that might not have been in place.

Since there were five errors during testing that a look at the logs might show if any of the other four sounded more (or less) ominous than a loopback failure.

Volvo... I remember hauling a VAX11/750 in a Volvo, back in the days.
No Alphas or other silicon involved, but I once helped a buddy shoehorn a Chevy V8 into one of them early '60s Volvos that looks kinda like a '39 Ford (if you squint just right). Tight fit, but it really upped the processing power. :D

Yes, both Rage Pro Accelerator and generic ATI accelerator enabled. Also, I have finally received two "flashed" AGP cards, an FX5200 and Radeon 9200. Will see if that helps.

I've got a Quicksiver G4 that neko setup with nVidia GeForce 7800 GS graphics (along with Sonnet dual 1.8GHz G4 processors and a SATA boot drive). Very snappy for a G4 power Mac, but I don't have time to give it the use it deserves.

...and (as I'm fond of pointing out) no white LVDS cable.
Anecdotal wisdom (put that one on your list of tech-related oxymorons) is the ends of the VBoB LVDS cables were color-coded white and black primarily to prevent inadvertent cross-connection and are functionally identical.

The only we'll know for sure is if someone who has two black ones steps in with a comment. I got the impression that more than a few nekochan members picked up a set of two of the black cables from Richtom1, so maybe at least one of them would be kind enough to weigh in on no-white-cable functionality. If someone would also be kind enough to post the pin out of both cables we could resolve the color-difference issue for posterity's sake .

Since you've got two of the black ones you could get us fifty percent of the way to resolving the issue - not to mention helping to discover if there might be pin-compatible alternatives to the nearly nonexistent SGI LDVS cables

What kind of setup did the "quake cave" use? Google is not being helpful...


Posted this back in 2007 , so not all of the links are still alive, but the Paul Rajlich's Cave Quake info site still works via a redirect. There's some Linux/IRIX cave performance comparisons discussed in this 2009 nekochan thread .


For those leery of blind web links, here's a linked preview of one of the images on the site (Cave Quake runs on an Onyx2):

If you happen to have a Cave at your disposal, there's a pre-complied IRIX binary of the cave version of Quake in the Download section, as well as an (IRIX) binary for those without cave hardware.

And if you don't happen to have the necessary IRIX hardware, there's always Cave Quake III.
