I would like to store my catalog tapes, along with my backup tapes, offsite after each monthly backup. Also, since I recently replaced the Sys Admin, I am trying to compile a list of all tapes that were used for the catalog tape for the last 13 months, as well as the contents of each tape. 1...

To change the default route use: route add default xxx.xx.xxx 1 See the manpage for route. I don't have access to it right now. Also, you might need to stop & start the inetd process. Hope this helps, Yowza

Thanks for the responses Chris and mikeclark. When the system hangs I cannot access it via the console or serial port using a laptop. The keyboard does not work either so I can't do the Stop A. There are no messages in the messages file and no core dumps. I took it off the KVM switch last night...

I have a Sun 280R running Solaris 5.8 that has just started to crash or freeze about every other day or so. I can't find anything in the /var/adm/messages file. I ran the prtdiag and everything is fine. I have not added any patches or touched this system in several months. I suspect it is...

Might be something as simple as a bad cable, interface, or port. Try pinging local host and switching cables. Good Luck, Yowza

What kind of error are you getting? Can the Sparc 5 ping the default route? Can the Sparc 1 ping the Sparc 5? Need a little more info. You might want to consider doing a sys-unconfig. This normally catches all the things we tend to forget:)) Good Luck Yowza

We are thinking about upgrading to Solaris 9 (from 8) and was wondering if it was really worth it. From what I have been able to pick up, basically 9 is more secure and gives you a few extras like ssh. If anyone can point me to an article or documentation describing the differences etc. I would...

Thanks PGPhantom. I finally figured out how to configure it via the GUI. Yowza

If you remove the catalog tape, and replace it with a new tape, does Veritas automatically recognize the new tape and use it for the catalog? The sysadmin I replaced always put the catalog tape in slot 6 in the Sun Storedge L9. I would like to continue doing this but don't have a clue of how to...

I use the Citrix Client at home to connect to my network at work. It gives me a desktop with Explorer etc. and I can access out network drives. I can open files, but cannot copy them to my home PC. Is this supposed to be like this? How can I copy a file I created on the network drive to my home...

Wow PHV, nobody could ask for more than that! Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate it. I have been looking on the internet for about an hour trying to find something that would help me decipher it. Thanks again!! Yowza

PHV Many thanks for the response. I don't understand exactly what #1 id doing (I mean step by step, not functional) but I have to use the Bourne Shell now so I will have to rewrite it, if I can. I didn't realize there was that much of a difference between the shells:)) My linux box doesn't have...

Stefanwagner, Thanks for the response! If you do a ps ax | grep -v grep | grep -c syslogd you get rid of the other grep, and it will return 1. I tried the URL and can't get to it. I'll poke around and see if I can find it. yowza

Thanks to this forum and scripting Gurus, I have written my first script. The script basically runs as a cronjob every 15 minutes, checks to see if syslogd is running and logging messages to the message file. If the file size doesn't change, it assumes syslogd is not running and stops and starts...

I have a wierd problem. We have one Domain Admin that can make changes during the day. When he comes in the next day, the changes are gone. Is this a configurable option in Exchange 5.5 or is it possible that someone has written some type of script that goes and backs out changes for this...
