Hi adminsFor a project I am working on, I am trying to figure out if <subj.> is possible.The question really falls in two parts: (1) Are there any PCMCIA support whatsoever in SPARC Solaris? If so, on what kind of hardware, and is this hardware current or obsoleted? (2) Given that we ...

All:Sorry about the confusion in my last summary on this topic. This one is better. :-)Overall the consensus has been to add the route either through a standalone script in /etc/rc2.d or append to an existing script such as /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc or /etc/rc2.d/S69inet. I chose the S72inetsvc ...

Hello, Thanks for all for the quick replies. I got a lot of feedback, but themost common solution was to find out which directories use most data (forexample , /var, /usr, etc), then move those directories to /opt . After thiscreate symbolic links from /opt/var to /var. Thanks again ...

Hello,We are looking at getting several V440 servers, and I am looking for somefeedback on them. The main concern I have is the US-IIIi CPU with 1mb cache.I remember with the US-IIi, the limited cache made a large performance hit,and I am wondering if the same is true for the US-IIIi line of ...

Thanks for all the responses, I got very good feedback regarding the V440server, and it looks like the problem of the evil US-IIi L2 cache has goneaway with the redesign of the US-IIIi CPU. Where the 256kb cache on theUS-IIi CPU did make a large impact, the 1mb cache on the US-IIIi cpu vs ...

As it turned out RM6.22.1 doesn't like Solaris 2.6 when /usr and / are onseparate slices. There are several work arounds available, and since I wasin a recovery situation, I combined the / and /usr slices. I am now back upand running to before the pre-requisite patches. If something goes ...
