Hi,
What is the difference between Solaris 9 x86 and Sparc besides the hardware. Is all the command the same or there are a difference? Plus where can go to get more information on the differences.
Many thanks,

I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

Can I use a Jumpstart enviroment on x86 to install a sparc64 client?
The idea is to install Solaris in an virtual environment (Sun Virtual Box) running on a pc (AMD), configure a Jumpstart server, and have a SUN Ultra 60 (sparc64) installed via the Jumpstart server.
The SUN has no cdrom... (4 Replies)
Hi folks
Doing practice certification questions but the answers to this question appear different everywhere I look? Is it also seems to be dependent on the S10 update version using at the moment in the market place? If the book was written over year back, then I suppose the hardware... (4 Replies)
Hi all,
Now Sun provides a large range of x86 servers and Solaris is running fine on both x86/sparc.
For new projects mainly running Oracle DB on SAN, I am wondering which architecture is best for our new projets.
As we won't go for high end servers (using around 4 or 8 Cpu's par host is... (6 Replies)
Hello,
is it somehow possible to run a x86 Linux OS in a virtual machine in Solaris running on Sparc ? Virtualbox ? Containers ?
I know it would be easier just get a Intel hardware and run the Linux but I might be in a scenario where only Sparc hardware is allowed by corporate policy and still... (6 Replies)
Hello Gurus,
Im trying to migrate some SAN disks from sparc server to X86 one, and having issues with disks not getting mounted on the X86 server with " not this fstyp error" due to the different partitions lay out between the two OS. I have tried it from sparc to sparc server and it worked,... (10 Replies)

ibtl - Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer
DESCRIPTION
InfiniBand (IB) is an I/O technology based on switched fabrics. The Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer (IBTL) is a Solaris kernel misc mod-
ule and adheres to the IB Architecture Version 1.1 specification and provides a transport layer abstraction to IB client drivers.
IBTL implements the programming interfaces for the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework (IBTF), consisting of the IB Channel Interface
(CI) and the IB Transport Interface (TI).
The CI consists of Host Channel Adapters (HCAs) and HCA drivers. A host is attached to the IB fabric through the CI layer. The Solaris
InfiniBand CI is Sun's API rendering of the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA) "verbs" specification.
The Solaris InfiniBand TI is the kernel service driver interface into the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework. It provides transport and
communications setup programming interfaces for Unreliable Datagram (UD) and Reliable Connected (RC) transport types only.
