Solaris Nevada DomUs internet working at Xen 3.3 CentOS 5.2 Dom0 (64 bit)

First install Xen 3.3 from mercurial repository on xen-disabled CentOS 5.2 instance,previously installed the most recent version of "git" on the system (git-1.6.0.tar.gz), otherwise "make world" would fail.

# cd /usr/src/
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.3-testing.hg
# cd xen-3.3-testing.hg
# make world
# make install
  

Determine the name of the Xen Linux kernel version that was installed.

# ls /lib/modules
  

There should be a directory for the Xen Linux kernel (e.g., 2.6.18.8-xen)
Generate the module dependency list and map files

# /sbin/depmod 2.6.18.8-xen
  

Create the Xen initial ramdisk image

# /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img   2.6.18.8-xen 
  

Disable tls

 
# mv /lib64/tls /lib64/tls.disabled
  

Set xend service to start

# /sbin/chkconfig --add xend
# /sbin/chkconfig xend on
   
 

Install bridge-utils:-

# yum install bridge-utils
 

Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and copy one of the existing boot entries to make the required changes for Xen and reboot into new kernel.

title Xen-3.3 CentOS 5.2 x86_64  (2.6.18.8-xen) 
root (hd1,4) 
kernel /xen-3.3.gz 
module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 rhgb quiet 
module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
  

Open following 3 ports on firewall:-


67/UDP Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) Server; also used by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
68/UDP Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) Client; also used by Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
53/TCP,UDP Domain Name System (DNS)


Allow SSH,HTTPS,HTTP services and proceed with SNV94 DomU install in DHCP mode with pygrub profile:-

name = 'Solaris94PV'
memory = '2048'
disk = [ 'file:/usr/lib/xen-solaris/snv94.iso,6:cdrom,r','phy:/dev/sda10,0,w']
vif = [ 'bridge = eth0' ]
bootloader = '/usr/bin/pygrub'
kernel = '/boot/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix'
ramdisk = '/boot/amd64/x86.miniroot'
extra = '/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix - nowin -B install_media=cdrom'
  

Load SNV94 DomU with profile:-

name = 'Solaris94PV'
memory = '2048'
disk = ['phy:/dev/sda10,0,w']
vif = [ 'bridge = eth0' ]
 

Bfu DomU to build 96 and reboot:-

Setup Sun Xvnc on DomU and verify Internet access:-

Notice also,that Solaris 10 (05/08) and Free BSD 7 HVM DomUs (32-bit on Intel,64-bit on AMD X2) may be easily installed at Xen 3.3 Linux Dom0(64 bit)

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
For the Oracle JDBC driver with JDK 1.4 and 1.5, use the ojdbc14.jar file.
Copy the JDBC driver to the JBoss environment by entering the following:
# cp ojdbc14.jar $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib
Create a file named $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/oracle-ds.xml and add the following contents:

<datasources>
  <local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>oracleDS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP_OR_HOSTNAME_OF _ORACLE_DB_ SERVER:1521:ORACLE_SID
    </connection-url>
    <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
    <user-name>USERNAME</user-name>
    <password>PASSWORD</password>
    <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleExceptionSorter
    </exception-sorter-class-name>
    <metadata>
   <type-mapping>Oracle9i</type-mapping>
    </metadata>
  </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>
 

Testing the Oracle Database Connectivity
Test the connectivity between JBoss and Oracle by performing the following steps on the JBoss Application Server:
Create a JSP file named $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jmx-console.war/oracleTest.jsp and add the following contents:

<%@page contentType="text/html" import="java.net.*,java.util.*,org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.model.*,
java.io.*,java.sql.*,javax.sql.*,javax.naming.*"%>
<html>
 <head>
  <title>JBoss->Oracle Test </title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style_master.css" type="text/css">
  <meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache">
 </head>
 <body>
  <%
  InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
  DatabaseMetaData dm = null;
  DataSource ds = (DataSource)
  ctx.lookup("java:/oracleDS");
  Connection conn = null;
  Statement stmt = null;
  try {
  conn = ds.getConnection();
  dm =conn.getMetaData();
  out.println("Connected to-> database version "+dm.getDatabaseProductVersion());
  }catch (Exception sqlex) {
  out.println(sqlex.getMessage());
  }finally{
  conn.close();
  }
  %>
 </body>
</html>
  

Start JBoss by entering the following:
# $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh
Verify that the Oracle test page is displayed by opening a browser and navigating to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/oracleTest.jsp

Follow [1],[2] in new environment.
Add corresponding jars to ejb and web modules ([2]) and
proceed with persistence.xml , keeping Hibernate as persistence provider and selecting datasource as


java:/OracleDS


previously defined for Jboss 4.2.3 Server.

Proceed with tuning web.xml,ejb-jar.xml,faces-config.xml per [1].

Modify code of entity bean User.java and RegistrationActionBean.java ([1])
to instantiate Seam instances at runtime and delete JSF managed bean
as no longer needed.Right click in text area to run "Fix imports" and
select appropriate ones. Embedding seam annotations will require this
fixes to be done.

Annotation @Interceptors({org.jboss.seam.ejb.SeamInterceptor.class})
is required only if ejb-jar.xml has not been modified.
Otherwise , it is not needed

Deploy "Registration Application" to Jboss and run.

Connect to Oracle database from NetBeans 6.1 and perform query against table "users" cumulating inserted records.

Jboss status via NetBeans 6.1 may be viewed here.

Regarding "Seam Plugin for NetBeans 6.1" , please , view [3],[4].
Viewing comments in [3] requires login, otherwise feedbacks stay hidden.

Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 (64-bit) on SNV93 DomU at SNV93 Dom0

This instruction closely follows the one for 32-bit install
Oracle 10.2.0.2 on Solaris 10 at oracle-base.com ([1]). I have to
notice that attempt to reproduce it on 32-bit SNV93 DomU crashes
as usual. View discuss forum@opensolaris.org ([2]).
However, it's a bit different from [1] and allows to perform everything
quite smoothly. It is also supposed to be used only in development environment.


As the root user, issue the following command.

# projadd oracle

Append the following line to the "/etc/user_attr" file.

oracle::::project=oracle

If you've performed a default installation, it is likely that the only kernel parameter you need to alter is "max-shm-memory".
To check the current value issue the following command.

# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
    project: 100: oracle
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION  RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
        privileged       254MB      -   deny        -
        system          16.0EB    max   deny        -
 

To reset this value, make sure at least one session is logged in as the oracle user, then from the root user issue the following commands.

# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
# projmod -s -K "project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4gb,deny)" oracle
 

The first dynamically resets the value, while the second makes changes to the "/etc/project" file so the value is persistent between reboots.

# cat /etc/project
    system:0::::
    user.root:1::::
    noproject:2::::
    default:3::::
    group.staff:10::::
    oracle:100::::project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4294967296,deny)
  

#  prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME    PRIVILEGE       VALUE    FLAG   ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
        privileged      4.00GB      -   deny     -
        system          16.0EB    max   deny     -
  

Create the new groups and users:

    groupadd oinstall
    groupadd dba
    groupadd oper
    useradd -g oinstall -G dba -d -m /export/home/oracle \
    -s /bin/bash oracle
    chown oracle:oinstall /export/home/oracle
    passwd -r files oracle
  

Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:

# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01


Login as the oracle user and add the following lines at the end of the .bash_profile file:

    # Oracle Settings
    TMP=/tmp; export TMP
    TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
    # Select the appropriate ORACLE_BASE
    #ORACLE_BASE=/export/home/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
    ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
    ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1; export ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_SID=SNV93; export ORACLE_SID
    PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH
    TERM=vt100; export TERM
 

Set up Sun Xvnc at DomU and login as oracle via
# vncviewer IP-DomU:1
from another terminal session.

Install CentOS 5.X DomU at SNV93 Dom0 on boards with integrated NIC RTL8110SC/RTL8111B

ASUS P5K Premium/WIFI, P5K3 Deluxe,P5K Deluxe P5E3 Deluxe,Abit IP35 Pro,Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6,MSI P35 Platinum have integrated on the board Realtek's NICs RTL8110SC/RTL8111B .RTL8110SC/RTL8111B (vs Marvell 88E8056 first NIC integrated on ASUS boards) are GLDv3 NICs and may be used for Solaris xVM PV and HVM DomUs creation at Solaris (Nevada) Dom0.
However, disabling checksum offloading on Linux DomU netfront driver (eth0) is required to get network on DomU.
Install CentOS 5.X DomU via virt-install as usual:-

# dladm show-dev
LINK            STATE  SPEED    DUPLEX
rtls0           unknown 0Mb     unknown
rge0            up     100Mb    full

# svccfg -s xvm/xend setprop config/default-nic="rge0"
# svcadm refresh xvm/xend
# svcadm restart xvm/xend

# lofiadm -a /export/home/isos/rhel.iso
# mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1   /mnt
# share -F nfs  /mnt
# virt-install -n RHEL5PV -p -r 1024 --nographics   \
  -f  /dev/zvol/dsk/nevada/disk1 -l nfs:192.168.1.35:/mnt
  

Successfully installed in dhcp mode CentOS 5.X DomU appears to be unable to communicate with other boxes on the LAN and internet, except SNV93 Dom0, due to failure checksum offloading on Realtek 8110SC/RTL8111B.
Attempts of ssh connection from CentOS 5.1 DomU 192.168.1.37 at SNV93 Dom0 (NIC RTL8110SC)
# ssh user1@192.168.1.54
hangs ..
TCPDUMP running on remote box (192.168.1.54)
# tcpdump -s 1600 -vv

One entry generates for each ssh connection attempt.
First:-
17:12:43.058821 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 19771, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 72) 192.168.1.37.52189
> 192.168.1.54.ssh: P, cksum 0x83e6 (incorrect (-> 0x9a09), 1169627751:1169627771(20) ack 423312198 win 46
Second:-
17:16:27.515427 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 19773, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 72) 192.168.1.37.52189
> 192.168.1.54.ssh: P, cksum 0x83e6 (incorrect (-> 0xbed7), 1169627751:1169627771(20) ack 423312198 win 46
  

The solution is to disable checksum offloading on eth0 at Linux DomU.
Package ethtools has to be installed at DomU.
Following string has been added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:-

/usr/local/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 tx off
 

Setup VNC on DomU:-

# mkdir .vnc
# cd .vnc
# vncserver :1
Vnc password will be requested by the last command.
Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup and uncomment first two lines.
Make this file as follows bellow:
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
Make following changes to /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file:-
VNCSERVERS="1:root"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768"
Then run:-
# chkconfig vncserver on
# reboot
  

Setup F8 DomU at SNV93 Dom0


1.Login as root to DomU
2.Disable checksum offloading:-
# /usr/local/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 tx off
3.Install vnserver:-
# yum install vnc-server
4.Disable firewall:-
# /etc/init.d/iptables stop
5.Setup VNC as suggested above.
6.Connect to F8 DomU:-
# vncviwer IP-DomU:1
7. Tune firewall to enable port 5901/tcp
and apply settings.
