Solaris 11.4 NTP /var/inet/ntp.drift.TEMP:Permission denied


Solaris 11.4 ntpd[860]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] frequency file /var/inet/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied


APPLIES TO :  Solaris Operating System - Version 11.4 to 11.4 [Release 11.0]

SYMPTOMS : After upgrade to Solaris 11.4 customers may see error messages similar to below:
ntpd[860]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] frequency file /var/inet/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied
It will depend on the drift file entry in /etc/inet/ntp.conf

CHANGES :  The ntpd daemon in Solaris releases previous to Solaris 11.4 ran as user root - in Solaris 11.4 the ntpd daemon runs as user daemon

CAUSE :  The cause of the issue is having the drift file location in the /etc/inet/ntp.conf file pointing to a directory path that user daemon cannot write to

SOLUTION :  Use the default driftfile location (/var/ntp/ntp.drift) as it is owned by user daemon to ntpd can then successfully write the drift file

                         JUDI-DEV-01# ls -rlt /var/ntp/ntp.drift
                        -rw-r--r--   1 root root         7 May  4 14:26 /var/ntp/ntp.drift
                        JUDI-DEV-01#
                        JUDI-DEV-01# chown daemon:daemon /var/ntp/ntp.drift
                        JUDI-DEV-01#
                        JUDI-DEV-01# ls -rlt /var/ntp/ntp.drift
                        -rw-r--r--   1 daemon   daemon         7 May  4 14:26 /var/ntp/ntp.drift
                        JUDI-DEV-01#
 To make this change active, the ntp service must be stopped and started (Note this will step the time when ntp starts)

                         JUDI-DEV-01# svcadm restart ntp
                        JUDI-DEV-01#

Oracle Auto Service Request - ASR


Oracle Auto Service Request - ASR


APPLIES TO :  Oracle SPARC Hardware

ISSUE : Install and configure Oracle ASR Manager,Register ASR Manager to My Oracle Support, Add ASR assets to ASR Manager.

GOAL :  Install and configure Oracle ASR Manager,Register ASR Manager to My Oracle Support, Add ASR assets to ASR Manager.

 SOLUTION :  Install and configure Oracle ASR Manager,Register ASR Manager to My Oracle Support, Add ASR assets to ASR Manager.

What is Oracle ASR :  
Oracle Auto Service Request—included with Oracle Premier Support—is the fastest route to restoring system availability if a hardware fault occurs. Take advantage of a secure, expedited diagnostic process with automatic service request generation, priority service request handling, and automatic parts dispatch—at no extra cost.

  • Enhanced support provided by Oracle at no additional cost—Oracle Auto Service Request is secure and customer-installable, and the software and documentation are available online.
  • Expedite the diagnostic process with automatic service request generation—When a hardware fault is detected, Oracle Auto Service Request opens a service request with Oracle automatically and transports electronic fault telemetry to help expedite the diagnostic process.
  • Identify and resolve problems faster with priority service request handling—Rapid service request processing further improves speed to resolution with proven diagnostic capabilities that automatically analyze telemetry data for known issues and deliver immediate corrective actions—up to 25 percent faster resolution than specific hardware faults on non-connected systems.
  • Get replacement parts without delay with automated parts dispatch—Parts are dispatched upon diagnosis of issues within a service request, and, in many cases, Oracle engineers are working to resolve the issue before you are even aware the problem exists.
  • Keep information and systems secure with outbound telemetry data—Oracle Auto Service Request requires only an outbound, secure internet connection to Oracle (based on SSL and https). Oracle’s hardware products send fault telemetry locally to the Oracle Auto Service Request client and do not require Internet access. The software does not use any incoming internet connections, nor does it include any remote access mechanisms. The electronic diagnostic data sent to Oracle includes only what is needed to solve the problem.

1.      Download the latest ASR Manager Software from My Oracle Support.
                Download - Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) (Doc ID 1185493.1)
               
2.      Copy the file to the server one which going to act as ASR Manager
                scp p28597773_1831_SOLARIS64.zip root@JUDI-DEV-01:/root/

 3.      Extract the file.
