Is there any easy possibility to find out on a solaris OS instance wether it is installed on a "domain"? For example, it is easy to find out if it is a container, check with "zoneadm list" or for AIX-Lpar look for a Lpar-ID in "lsattr"-output. Anything like that on a Solaris-Domain?

Sorry dont understand the last post, but i feel that it will not help with our matter. Just to explain: the start point of this problem is not technical, its a matter of contracts made by controllers and managers who dont care about technical problems or performance, they just write down: 99,98%...

Most of its time" ? for such a simple check beside lots and lots and lots of other selfchecks and loggings? What machines do you operate on? Type 250 pizza-boxes?

Shure, we dont talk about availability of network (most important cause of outages i think) or external filespace. We only care about availability of server hardware and OS. I asked myself, why isnt this availability feature part of OS, because everybody wants to know about time of service. Like...

This will not help, because its pure uptime but related to what absolute timebase? This uptime must be related to time of service (normally 7x24h). And furthermore, planned downtimes via shutdown must be seperated from unplanned crashes. All in all, a combination of "uptime", shutdown/reboot...

We need to report our customer the time-based availability of their servers. Until now, we try to check it out in a complicate manner by analysing monitoring data. But isnt there an easy way to ask the server for its availability, kind of hidden log the in which the running keeps score of his...

What is the meaning of "[ ]" instead of process name (e.g. /bin/ksh/sript.exe]? It occurs together with a starting date of "Jan 01", what is also a miracle...

Yes, thanks a lot! Meanwhile I wrote my Perl script and it works even with the t and s-bits, but I didnt know the stat or any octal commands so I build a rather lengthy workaround for it...The last idea by ogniemi is extremely nice, now I found the same idea in the Camel book of Perl. Thx to you...

Yes certainly I started to do some perl ;-).. but I was looking in parallel for one of those famous undocumented commands, you wont find in the manuals...

How can I automatically (!) deternine the numerical permission value of a file? With a single command (I dont know any, didnt find it anywhere) or with a small script. command "file" -> output "755" or so....

After a detach of an interface all routes are lost. I have to restore them, but cant use /cfginet on hacmp cluster. Probably they must be set directly by "route add" after extracting the route information from odm by lsattr -El inet0 or odmget. Or is there an easier way? Or is there a...

In HACMP-Clusters /home (or better: the content of /home) must sometimes be moved outside the rootvg into shared volumes on shared filesystems. Just build a symbolic link /home -> /home_in_shared_volume_group, when the link /home remains in rootvg while the content is placed on a different...

The kproc is the process the system executes when it is doing nothing, so it is also called the wait-process. You will always find at least on such process per processor, and all these kprocs have unique defined pids. Certainly you cant kill. 98% wait simply means your system is mostly getting...

Why do YOU waste your own time with posting unhelpful answers to questions, which you regard yourself as silly? Thats funny...

Hi there! I am looking for an easy benchmark tool for AIX. It should test cpu, mem and i/o. It should be easy to use, i prefer a single binary without compilation or complex configuration. I just need to compare several servers, the benchmark result can be relative without absolut meaning. Any idea?
