Hi, I haven't work as a Field Support Technician, but i am very comfortable working and troubleshooting PCs. There are many different books available and I would like to purchase one. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Alex

One more interesting thing. When I click on the link in email, it opens up IE, but its empty and can't even get to internet options, very strange. Plus, I don't have an AOL toolbar. Thanks, Alex

Well, I had a couple of IE open. I closed all of them. Then opened one up and checked the pop-up blocker )Clicked on tools>selected Pop-Up blocker and it was turned off). Now I am puzzled and if you have some additional ideas, that would be awesome. Thanks, Alex

I have an Ultra 10 with Solaris 2.5.1 that I would like to use only as a test environment to play with #ufsdump and then #ufsrestore for /, /var and /usr partitions only and then later install Veritas Netbackup 5.0 for the same purposre and when I get comfortable with ufsdump; ufsrestore and...

Hi Franz, I have a question regarding '#ufsdump'. In order to properly use #ufsdump, I have to boot the server (SUNFIRE V880) from CDROM (boot cdrom -sw). Question, do I have to use #init 0 command first to bring it to an 'OK' prompt and then insert CD and issue command 'boot cdrom -sw'. Fine...

Comtec17, Sorry, I made a mistake. It's not RAID0. Mirroring was done using RAID1. I have two disks. In case of RAID1, could you please let me know how to boot the system from the miirrored disk? Thanks, Alex

I beleive mirroring was done using DiskSuite 4.1 RAID0, because the system was installed at the end of 1999. I don't think RAID1 was used otherwise I was able to boot from the mirror drive, right? Thank you, Alex

Hi, I am tryingh to boot up the server (Ultra 10) and getting the message: 'Can't open the boot device'. This server has 2 mirrored drives and no external drives. How difficult is to boot this server from the mirror drive (9.1GB IDE drive), then install the new 9.1GB drive and then remirror it...
