After installing the latest Oracle CPU patch(October), my V440 system will not boot. I've attempted serveral fixes, including one that say the ufsboot file(we don't use ZFS) may be corrupt so it...

I waited, the question was more for a "next time this happens..." situation.

In my infinite lack of wisdom, I brought a Solaris 10(Sparc, 64 bit ) system down to init 1, detached a metadrive so that I could run format->analyze->refresh on it, and then reinit'd and reattached...

We want to disable graphical logins on our Solaris 10(64bit sparc )boxes, but I haven't found any information on how to do it via google. Most likely I am using the wrong search terms (i've been...

from there, "iostat ...

I am doing a practice restore using a test UNIX(Solaris) system, and a SCSI Hard Drive whose slice 5 contains the Flash Archive file that I need to restore from.
