nslookup(1M) results on Solaris 10 differ from those of Solaris 9 or older versions.

 

 

e.g.)

 

 

z

Solaris 9

 

 

 

# nslookup

 

 

 

> aaa213.sample.test.com.

 

 

 

Server: aaat11.sample.test.com

 

 

 

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn

 

 

 

Name: aaa13.sample.test.com

 

 

 

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.mmm

 

 

 

Aliases: aaa213.sample.test.com, aaa113.sample.test.com

 

 

z

Solaris 10

 

 

 

# nslookup

 

 

 

> aaa213.sample.test.com.

 

 

 

Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn

 

 

 

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.nnn#xx

 

 

 

aaa213.sample.test.com canonical name = aaa113.sample.test.com.

 

 

 

aaa113.sample.test.com canonical name = aaa13.sample.test.com.

 

 

 

Name: aaa13.sample.test.com

 

 

 

Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.mmm

 

 

 

* aaa113.sample.test.com is an alias of aaa13.sample.test.com

 

 

 

* aaa213.sample.test.com is an alias of aaa113.sample.test.com.

1)

Physical device (/devices) entries for hard disk drive are removed at system

 

 

 

reboot if the hard disk driver is removed from the system before system reboot.

 

 

e.g.)

 

 

 

# cd /dev/rdsk

 

 

 

# ls -l c1t6d0*

 

 

 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 May 28 11:19 c1t6d0s0 ->../../devices/pci@1f,0

 

 

 

/pci@5/scsi@2/sd@6,0:a,raw

 

 

 

# ls -lL c1t6d0*

 

 

 

c1t6d0s0: No such file or directory

 

 

2)

“iostat –E” and “drcstat –device” may not show all connected physical devices

 

 

 

right after system boot.

 

 

This behavior of devfs on Solaris 10, is to be expected. /devices entries are updated

 

 

dynamically when each device is actually attached. As a result, device entries that have

 

 

not been attached after system boot, are not displayed by those commands.

 

6

If non-global zones are not booted, patchadd(1M) and patchrm(1M) will make all

 

 

non-global zones boot up temporarily during patch installation and removal. As a result

 

 

the total time for patch installation and removal will take much longer than booting up in

 

 

single user mode.

 

 

Boot all non-global zones in single user mode before installing and removing patches.

 

 

Example)

 

 

 

global# zoneadm –z myzone boot -s
