Thank you for the thoughts. You bring up some great points.

If it's something I want to play with on a test server at some point, I'm guessing it's "possible" then, putting EVERYTHING on the SAN?

Hello,
I'm posting this in the "Unix for Dummies" forum, since it is more of a theoretical question than an exact problem/fix I'm inquiring about.

I have a SunFire T2000 server with 4 internal...

I received a new error that I have not seen before on my Solaris 10 server last night:

From /var/adm/messages
Jan 8 04:59:26 nediaccomp005j scsi:[ID 365881 kern.info] /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/scsi@0...

Does the new location have to actually be a slice called /usr, or can it be moved to /whereever with a symbolic link to /whereever called /usr?

thanks.

The server I inherited has a root partition at 98% capacity. I am curious about moving /usr to another partition to free up some space (1.1GB).
Is it possible to just mv /usr to another slice and...

I am reading a Sunsolve document covering moving /var and am confused by one step. What does this command do (in English):


Move into the existing /var directory and transfer all the data to...

No luck, same results. That's the weird thing, how is the underlying setup of mail different between what the mail gui (in the common desktop environment) and a command like like mailx??

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm just using a simple test mailx command:

server1{root}:$PWD=> mailx <E-mail address>
Subject: tester
tester body
EOT
server1{root}:$PWD=>


If I use the mail gui on the CDE on the...

I can send mail from my Sun Solaris 9 box via the mail gui no problem. If I try it from mailx command line, the mail doesn't send. What might be causing this?

thanks.

What can I *safely* move from / to another filesystem in slice #7?

Can /var be moved?

I can drop the size of partition #7, it's empty. Woudl that allow me to increase root? (Without losing data in root?)

Thanks!

I have a Sun box running Solaris 9.

My root disk was slices too small when it was installed and I am now at 99% capacity for my root partition.

Is it possible, and if so how?, to increase the...

I have a Sun9 server. When I put a CD into it, I keep getting:

Server1{root}:$PWD=> mount: Permission denied
mount: cannot mount /vol/dev/dsk/c0t6d0/roxio1

It mounts fine in my Sun8 boxes....

I am receiving a repeating error in my /var/adm/messages, and I did a full Google search and search on this site. This site had 1 hit, but didn't really explain why it's occurring, Google didn't...

Figured it out, I had to enable telnet and restart the inet process. It works now.

Disabled on the source or remote host?

How do you start the deamon? (I was under the impression that it is always running).

I need to establish rlogin between 2 of my servers (and I know, it's not secure, smart, etc. ... it's a temporary requirement that I have to do)

I tried all the standards.

I'm trying to rlogin...

I have Solaris 9 on my server.
From SunSolve site, I see:

Solaris9 Sun Alert Patch Cluster (184.9 M)
&
Solaris9 (204.3 M)

What is the difference between the Sun Alert Patch Cluster and the...

I have a Sun server with 4 CPUs.

How can I verify if all 4 are being used?

When I use top, it doesn't seem to break it down into 4 cpus, should it?


example:
load averages: 1.14, 1.06, ...

I'm on SunOS 5.9 if it matters.
Thanks!

I connected an external SCSI drive, I see it when I do 'format', I went ahead and formatted it.

How do I mount it now though so I can use it?

Unfortunately that did not have any effect. Should I expect to see the new drive when I: df -k??

Someone gave me a small external SCSI hard drive for my SunOS 5.8 test system. How do I make Unix see the hard drive?

I have a Sun server with a broken CD drive. I have a 2nd Sun server next to it.

How can I make ServerA "mount" ServerB's CDrom?

In my /etc/hosts I have:

# more /etc/hosts
#
# Sun Host Database
#
# If the NIS is running, this file is only consulted when booting
#
10.113.15.248 hp8-123
10.113.15.248 hp8
