Solaris

Hi guys

I need idea ti play with Solaris

I have some free time and I want to learn something new, so far I learned how to install Solaris using Jumpstart and flash archives.

I'm intereted in programming and networks however my programming skills are very weak so I only can learn something from network or system administration filled.

What do you prepose ?

I want to build home datacentar from scretch, I don't have experience with datacentar design so I need some advices.

What are basics which datacentar must run ?

'datacenter' doesn't describe what actually happens in it except that data's moving around for some reason or other..

For starters you could get ssh going if you haven't already. That way you won't have to sit in front of it all the time to operate it.

What would you like it to do? Perhaps a home media server?

build a virtual machine diskless client using ossadm to expand on your booting from flash archives knowledge?

configure ssh like Corona suggested

configure dns?

play around with svcadm, svcs, svccfg?

purposely mess up your path_to_inst file (make a copy of course) and make yourself figure it out with a boot -r or a reboot -- -r?

there are some ideas for you

Thanks guys for ideas but I will try to implement my idea

I will try to make database on Solaris server, and then try to make some application in C which will then connect to my database end will be user end application to search database.

I will try to incorporate Solaris cluster in hole story.

Some idea for summer 2011
