Thanks guys. I was asked the question but couldn't find anything on the net.

Hi all, I have heard that Sun Disks (like the one's in my T3 arrays) have a life cycle. Whereby they go for so long and then after a certain amount of time need to be replaced. Even if the disk is fine. It's like a sort of pre-emptive disk swap before the disk really does fail. Anyway, my...

Thanks Ken. This still leaves me wandering what's going on?! We know that pre-requisites have to be fulfilled before you apply a patch - this is why we don't understand how a patch is present and installed when one of the patches it requires is not installed. Bizarre. An interesting...

This is about where my knowledge ends on the subject. Anyone else out there care to enlighten us? Thanks Ken. Strange one, isn't it?!

No. If we look at the screen dump above, you can see that patch 108528-19 is installed. Patch 108528-19 requires 108987-09, 111111-03, 111293-01, 111310-01. BUT! Some or all of these required patches aren't installed. So, how is it possible that the patch 108528-19 is installed when it's...

Hi, When doing a showrev -p | grep 108987-09 (for example) I get this. Patch: 108528-19 Obsoletes: 108874-01, 108966-06, 108979-10, 109153-01, 109236-01, 109291-06, 109296-05, 109309-02, 109313-02, 109345-02, 109348-05, 109350-06, 109571-02, 109656-01, 109663-01, 109801-02, 109880-01...

Hi, I've recently changed the TCP Send receive buffers on a couple of our Oracle servers in the hope it will improve performance. I've increased the send and receive settings from 16384 and 24576 to 279600 and 279600 respectively. To test the new/old settings I started five file transfers...

Thanks for the response. I thought this may be the case but thought I should check it out.

Hi all, I'm currently editing one of our syslog.conf files to send messages of a certain nature to another machine on our network. I have done this but I'm not entirely sure what to do next. The logs entered into /var/adm/messages are also sent to another machine and placed into the same...

Tried using that DNS and it still doesn't work. I've also tried using the router address as the DNS address and that doesn't work either. I can't think what it could be. From a network prospective everything is fine. I must have missed something in the config of solaris.

Ok. I've done that and rebooted the box but still no DNS. IP addresses still work fine. I can ping all the boxes on my network. I'm clueless as to what may be wrong now.

Yes. My PC is 192.168.0.2, my router is 192.168.0.1, and my Solaris box is 192.168.0.3 ipconfig /all gives the DNS address of 193.38.113.3 I have put this into the resolve.conf file and it still doesn't work. I made a mistake earlier when I said the DNS address shown on my PC was...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm stil having trouble though. I have created the resolve.conf and defaultrouter files. The files look like this: #cat defaultrouter 192.168.0.1 # and.. #cat resolve.conf search blueyonder.co.uk nameserver 192.168.0.1 # I've got the name server as that because...

I don't think it's a permissions problem as I am running the unzip command as root. I know what DNS information I need and I know the default router details. The problem I have is that these files do not exist for me to edit them! Any ideas?

I do not have the file /etc/resolv.conf nor do I have /etc/defaultrouter I don't understand?!
