uname -a will tell a lot. prtconf| grep Memory will also give memory. -r -- robb

Hi, I'm in a situation that requires me to share data between a MySQL database on one machine and Postgres on a second. The data in the first (MySQL) is the authoritative and currently I'm just dumping the data out of MySQL and importing it into a fresh Postgres db nightly to use Postgres...

can you reboot? That should bring you back to your pervious state and then you can use: # ifconfig hme0 removeif <ip_address> ie: # ifconfig hme0 removeif 66.111.222.123 to remove the virtual interface. -r -- robb

I don't have any drives yet (I'm going to buy 7 -- 6 + 1 spare) and don't want to over spend. -r -- robb

Hi, I have a Sun Multipack Model 711 (6 drive unit) that uses SCSI SCA 80 pin drives. It's an UltraSCSI version (as label on the door and on the internal parts of the unit.) I know that there are several different kinds of SCA drives (LVD/Hot Swap/etc) out there. I'm assuming that any SCA...

After spending about 3 hours on the phone with Sun support testing *everything* on the system, I found that, (starting with Solaris 9?) you have the line in /etc/inetd.conf that starts 100155/1 uncommented (it comes that way, but if you're like me, you might have commented a lot of stuff out)...

Hi All, I'm looking for some encouragement *and* advice/guidance. I've conceived this great configuration that I want to deploy in the next few months, but I'm having a hard time getting my head around some of the networking details. Here's what I want to do: 1. Set up a Sun Fire V100 with...

Hi, I know that Solaris 9 is officially a beta right now, but has anyone used it and found it stable? I'm thinking about installing it on a home box to play with, but I don't want to spend hours installing/setting up/configuring before I find out that it's really not ready... Thoughts...

>> I've heard of the NAM being networked succesfully This is great news... Do you have any idea what was done, who did it, or if it's a work-around/hack unsupported by Nortel... I really want to do this, but have no idea where to start... Networking these switches seems so far out of my...

Thanks! -- robb

First, take them out of any line pools, and make sure that they're not in any phone company hunt groups. Then just add the line to the DN that you want it to appear on, and select Ring & Appear, Ring Only or Appear only. Note: If someone calls in on a dedicated line, it won't roll over to...

Well, you coudl use a system call wrapped in sudo... but I'm not a sudo expert, so maybe someone and add that part... :) -- robb
