[Orca-users] SE Toolkit solaris 10 i386

[Cockcroft, Adrian]

The direct kernel access stuff doesn't work, but most of the tools don't need it.

The virtual_adrian.se script that you are running is designed to be used in non-root mode where it can't access the kernel anyway, so its tolerant to this error and will continue to monitor the system. Part of the startup tuning check functionality is disabled, but it isn't relevant to Solaris 10 anyway.
orcallator.se doesn't need direct kernel access either.

Hi,
I am moving away from Sparc Solaris 8 to i386 Solaris 10. I am using Sunfire V20Z with twin AMD processors.
As part of my upgrade I want to continue with Orca reporting, but I am unable to get SE Tollkit to start.
Initially se complains of unknown machine type, this I attempted to resolve by putting in an extra case option to set amd64 to Pentium. SE started but then complained with 
Warning: Cannot init kvm: Illegal seek
Warning: Kvm not initialized: Variables will have invalid values
Adrian is monitoring your system starting at: Fri Oct 28 14:50:25 2005

Your advice on this issue would be much appreciated.

regards

Phil Woolway
