Here's an excerpt from the email from Sun support:
| Quote: | System Fails to power up (Port 80 displays FF and shuts down) with 4GB
memory config
Intermittent loading issue with 4GB of memory and rapid power on of
system causing Under Voltage protection.
Workaround:
Turn off the power switch on the PSU and re-apply power.
Workaround:
Physically remove 2 DIMMs from the system.
|
It also won't work w/ just the two 3rd party DIMMS installed, so I'm
still trying to find out if there's an issue w/ the DIMMS (Patriot
brand) or if that's also related to the power issue. |

Well the tortoise is slow, a Polar Bear sounds better, lives up there in
the cold weather with Penguins, is strong and can't be stopped once going.
|
Actually lives about as far away from penguins as it is possible to get,
which sounds quite appropriate.
But polar bears are also notorious for their highly poisonous livers,
are they not? What part of Solaris does this correspond to?

There is no 'best layout'. Unless you have something special in mind.
live upgrades zones software RAID etc. theres lots of examples where
a single root partition and swap would be limiting. BUT you can always
add disks later and create mount points to suit. In your case one
root and a swap partition should be sufficient. |

Well, looking at their home page I see a Solaris x86 pre-built
package...
I pulled down the source as there is no SPARC port,
but its missing some key bits that perhaps
I may not have (typical GNU latest and greatest version of something
missing probably). I could build the configure script but it fails part
way
through...
"configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash
builds/make.new/config/config.sub"
Perhaps a CVS download might work..

I agree - whats "Firebird sourceforge version alpha beta 000.1" got
over PostgreSQL 8.1 .. |

You know the process has been automated on SCSI drives
since the early 1980s, right? So there's no need whatsoever
to do so.
Just checking to see if your next question is about defrag,
which is the exact same type of comment.
Use format and explore the menus a bit. You'll discover that
you can display the known bad sectors on a drive. Even
though the data is automated, displaying it is not without
merit. The bad spots that are not full sectors are spots
found at the factory. The bad spots that are full sectors are
the ones discovered since purchase. The rate spots go bad
does tell about the aging of the drive. If the rate goes up
enough the automated bad sector redirection eventually
fails. You'll occasionally want to look at the table to see if
that's happening. Every 2-3 years will be fine. |

Let say for Oracle application ?
And what is your hardware?
When you say "Oracle Application," do you mean a database-backed application,
or Oracle itself (which would make this a database box)?
There's no way I would put a database on an OS disk in anything other than
a playground for myself. Also, Oracle makes some very strict demands on what
is required for swap space, so my thought would be:
/ s0 20GB
swap> s1 Whatever Oracle recommends
overlap s2 (whole disk)
/var s3 10GB
metadb s7 >24MB (massive overkill)
...and if home directories are going to be on the local disk,
/export/home s4 (remaining disk less 20GB)
Then put Oracle on an external disk.
Shouldn't the Oracle executables be put in /opt?
|
Depends on the particulars of the site. Our Oracle binaries are in their
own directory, but on local disk at any rate.
| Quote: | The database itself should normally be spread over five or more
spindles. Don't put both a table and its indices on the same drive and
put redo logs on a disk by themselves.
Oracle makes some very specific recommendations for allocating disk
space. If you need to ask, find those recommendations and obey them as
if they were holy writ! You can break the rules if the data base is
small, simple, and performance is not terribly important but, if that is
the case, why are you using Oracle?
|
Agreed. There are certain situations where breaking the rules makes clear
sense, but you REALLY need to know what you're doing, if you don't want to
mess things up. |

Re: Solaris 10 on PIII .9 MH
|
|
|
Hi,
I have recently installed Solaris 10 on the following hardware:
Intel Pentium II 350 MHZ, 458 MB (during solaris10 install only 192 MB),
56xCDROM, 8Gb harddisk.
Boot time from boot-prompt to dt-login 2 minutes
Login time another minute. I am using Java Desktop running Mozilla and
Staroffice and e-mail and it is working ok.
First time applications start, it may take a litle while, but overall the
system is ok responsive.
It is an ok typewriter
My installation experience includes:
1) I installed using Solaris CDROM. Problem with mount of CDROM 2-4 because
by default the smservice is not started by svcadm .Fix: Root# svcadm -v
enable smserver
2) Network configuration. For some reasons Solaris installer was unable to
see my ISP's DNS servers.
Fix: Install with networking=None. After added two "nameserver
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" entries to resolv.conf and moved nsswitch.dns to
nsswitch.conf
