devfsadm, /reconfigure , boot -r
Just restored a Solaris 8 distribution to a machine while it is running Solaris 10. The restore is from slightly different hardware so the /devices and /etc/path_to_inst need to be redone. I do not think I can run the Solaris 10 devfsadm for a Solaris 8 distribution. If I merely do the touch /reconfigure ... 28 Feb 2006 14:32

Jumpstart Solaris 8 vs. Solaris 10 (sparc)
Hello Solaris Community. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour. With Solaris 8, we've had a process in place for a while now which has worked well. We've simply been creating compressed configuration tarfiles, parking them on an nfs share, then booting the Sun client from cd/dvd rom drive, usin... 24 Feb 2006 20:08

rsync help
Have an embarrassing problem with rsync (not at all familiar with it, yet...) I've enabled it on machine backup as shown below, but can't figure out how to move data as root user...

Roles in Solaris10
Hi, I am fairly new to Solaris (5 months) and am trying to assign roles to certain users. For example enabling helpdesk users to change passwords and for another group to add and remove users. I have created a role to add/modify and remove users successfully by assigning the role "User Management and User Securi... 2 Mar 2006 10:51

T1000 vs. T2000
Hi. It looks like T1000 has different motherboard than T2000. Should there be any differences in performance of those two servers with the same amount of RAM (ie. 4GB) exlcuding disk of course. I'm thinking web servers. We did production tests with T2000 and numbers are really amazing, and it makes much mo... 22 Feb 2006 04:44

My friend is a computer Wiz and he couldn't figure out how to get my computer on the internet. In... 27 Feb 2006 11:18
