My personal view is to avoid NFS for data. It can be useful for sharing installed software/scripts/application code etc for ease of change control, but the issue there is that you create a...

We do it all the time. In fact we have even gone so far as to host the VM OS on the netapp from an NFS mount. Then have NFS mounts to the VM for the application storage. AS long as you have good...

I don't think there is a right answer here. It depends on other factors in the environment. Is the appliance strictly network based so even though it's an allocated virtual disk, it still relies on...

I'd suggest going with option (2). NFS can be problematic at times. Not something you want for "mission critical" apps.

So, the 10. interface that can route is not pingable, and the 172. interface that cannot arp its gateway is pingable? Maybe we should get some traceroute's or something. The 10. might not ping...

Well, it is just the local net, bridging, switching, hubbing, broutering but not routing. Life there is just arp and go. See if the arp cache knows the mac of the gateway. Address Resolution Protocol...

you could try the following:

ping -R ipaddress

which should show something like this as part of the summary heading output:

NOP
RR: xx.xx.xx.14
yy.yy.yy.2
zz.zz.zz.82...

Did you bring the interface up.

Also if issue remains try different port. If using eth0, try eth1.

Printing PostScript files
Printing PostScript files on a printer that has a PostScript interpreter is simple; just use lpr, and the printer will take care of all of the details for you. For those...

You have to try with full path name, one of these:

createrepo `pwd`
createrepo /var/var_rpm

it should be in .bashrc, and it should be alias ls='ls --color=auto', which should avoid printing out color codes to non-terminals.

I don't think BASH had anything to do with it incidentally, except in that it would load a different profile than ksh does. Perhaps something in that profile forced color always-on.

Better to just not make them in the first place. ls --color=never

ls ought to be intelligent enough to tell when it's not writing to a terminal and avoid escape sequences, unless someone forced...

Even better -- it's a free third-party application, of less than a hundred lines, which actually works and works very well, for any application at all.

Linux is a third-party kernel, by the way.

Far too many programs have broken keepalive settings since that's something extremely difficult to test. :) libkeepalive is something I know works. Good luck.

In the 1st case, you might have copied only the .rpm files from the installation media and not the repomd.xml file that actually contains information about the repository and dependencies etc. To...

It doesn't support it, but it will work. The reason they don't support it outright is because it competes with their RHN satellite server. There are lots of ways to make it work.

Using...

That would be a question for IBM.

You could also look at RHN Satellite (costs money) or Spacewalk, the more "bleeding edge" but free implementation of RHN Satellite. You will still need...

It all depends. Some people patch nightly, but that can cause issues when the programs break due to bugs introduced in code. It is going to depend on your ability to regress or fix an issue in case...

How long is a piece of string?

This is determined by how easily you can update the machines, what sort of outage windows you can manage, as well as how well your applications can be regression...

Not quite, since you can have more than one IP on a network card or vice versa(bridging arrangements). how to configure squid to listen on an IP is easy. See the http_port setting.

squid doesn't...

You can't tell squid which network card to use. You tell it what IP addresses to listen on.

Configure your squid proxy to listen on one IP address, and configure the interface you want squid to...

Hi,
It seems that your boot device is not set correctly, it is trying to boot from the external device
(/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@w5000cca0043b59fd,0).

Get the server down to OBP...

in this configuration, half of the cpu and memory boards are in domain 1 (if 4 cpu and 8 memory modules are inside the server).
domain 0 will have the other half... ;)
