Well well well... Solaris is back
It looks like Sun is finally back with the x86 crowd with Solaris. Solaris 9 is now on their Download / Order page:
http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html
but $20 to download and $95 for media... I don't think I'll be rushing out to pay that.
Here is a link to their press release:
http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflas...0030206.1.html
I wonder if the few large companies that use x86 Solaris (such as Verizon) finally got them to continue the distribution.
I also wonder how long it'll be before they yank it off their site
again. Any bets?

Hi every body,
Is it possible to connect two servers Back-to-Back (Point-to-Point) using HBA adapters & using Fiber.
Note it is direct connection & there is no switches between the servers.
I'm concern about using HBA adapters, it is possible or not.
Thanks in advance. :) (3 Replies)
