Endlich gibt es sie - die Uebersicht ueber alle Powercalulatoren fuer Sun Systeme. Von der kleinen T5120 bis zur grossen M9000-64 sind sie alle dabei - ebenso Speichersysteme und Tapelibraries. Sehr zu empfehlen! (An dieser Stelle meinen Dank an den Kollegen Joachim Krebs fuer den Hinweis :-) )

In Solaris 10 5/09 (aka Update 7) ist ja bekanntlich der Support der ssh fuer hardwarebeschleunigte Verschlusselung enthalten. Diesen erhaelt man auch, wenn man den entsprechenden Kernel-Patch 139555-08 einspielt - allerdings nur, wenn der dazu gehoerende Treiber-Patch ebenfalls eingespielt wird. Fuer UltraSPARC T2/T2+ ist das Patch 140386-02, fuer die SCA 6000 Beschleunigerkarte ist der entsprechende Patch im Softwarebundle 1.1 update 2 enthalten. Spielt man diese Patches...

In my previous entry I wrote about creating a portable version of the repositoryusing a USB stick. That option is great for taking the repository onthe road and even sharing it with folks at conferences where theInternet connection usually sucks. However, a more practicaluse of this repository image to many of you may be setting up a localmirror. In this situation, you get the best of both words - fast accessto the repository with continued access to updates as they...

A snapshot of the OpenSolaris release repository has been made available for download as an ISO image, where it can be mounted directly or transfered to a USB stick. This will certainly come in handy if you plan to travel somewhere with limited network access but would like access to the repository. In this entry I'll review setting up a USB stick, which gives you a portable repository. In a follow-up entry I'll look at creating a mirror on local file system, which would...

Chime has a nifty little feature where you can run it in server mode and then monitor the system remotely using the Chime GUI. On the server simply run: bleonard@opensolaris:~$ chime serverListening for remote DTrace consumers on port 5088Press the Enter key to stop the server. Then on the client point chime to the server: chime 10.0.1.10 At least it's supposed to be that easy, however, there's a small issue with Java RMI that prevents this from working correctly. I did some...

If you're planning to use OpenSolaris as an RMI server, this little tip could save you some time. As a simple test I was following the Getting Started Using Java RMI tutorial. However, when I attempted to connect to the OpenSolaris server from the client, I was getting the following exception: Client exception: java.rmi.ConnectException: Connection refused to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect Why was RMI trying to...

Chime is a tool that all users of OpenSolaris should take the time to install. Chime is a graphical user interface for DTrace that makes viewing DTrace output enjoyable. It has traces that can provide valuable feedback on your system (and you don't even have to know DTrace to use it). For example, take this simple script that aggregates the system calls over the period of time the script is run: bleonard@os200906:~$ cat syscalls_overtime.d syscall:::entry{@a[execname] =...

Installing a zone in OpenSolaris requires a network connection and some patience as a little over 70MB of data is downloaded. Fortunately, after you've got the first zone installed, future zones can be cloned. This is not only quicker than an IPS install but it's also a much more efficient use of disk space. In addition, if you've customized a zone with additional software (or less software), that will also come along with your clone. The 4 step creation process is almost...

If you're like me and working with zones on your laptop and/or desktop, you probably only have one network interface card to work with. Therefore, the zones I've created share the single network interface with the global zone (ip-type=shared). Behind the scenes, Solaris creates a logical interface for the zone to use. The logical interface appears in ifconfig as your physical interface with an instance number. For example: bleonard@solaris:~$...
