Question

The output of the "df" command in Linux may show long volume names that cause the remainder of the line to wrap to a second line.

How can I correctly process wrapped output in Monitor Solution for Linux?

[root]# df -h

What Monitor Solution needs, is to have the "df" command return the results in this format:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00                      4.8G  572M  4.0G  13% /

Answer
We recommend using one of the following commands to get the unwrapped output from the "df" command:

df –hP

df –hP | column –t

[root]# df -hP

Change sender ID on Solaris 10.

cat test.out | mailx -s "WeeklyReport" -r noreply@thamurali.com test123@thamurali.com

use -r option along with new sender id.

Vxrootadm on VxVM.

On Vxvm 6.0, Vxrootadm command has been Enhanced. So, we  can do the root mirror/split thru vxrootadm without manual task so far we followed in earlier versions.

Please find the below steps :

Title:  
Upgrade of SMCgcc in Solaris fails
Description
Date: 17/Feb/2014
OS Version: Solaris 10

Symptoms:
When upgrading on Solaris, you get the message:
"Current administration requires that a unique instance of the package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the same system has already been met. No changes were made to the system.


Resolution:  
In the file /var/sadm/install/admin/default
there is a line that affects pkgadd upgrade

If "instance=unique"
You cannot upgrade , you have to remove and then re-add a package

if "instance=overwrite"
You can upgrade , you don't have to remove and then re-add a package
(so just use vi, or similar, to edit the file and you will be able to upgrade SMCgcc)
