top package not working sometimes
Hello Guys,

I downloaded the top package for solaris from sunfreeware.com and installed them on 8 blades. It works fine on some but on some it fails. Says that "Invalid argument". Can anyone give me some ideas on this?Smilie?

top package not working sometimes
Apologies, am using an X86 architecture machine and not sparc. This is the package that I used "top-3.6.1-sol10-sparc-local" . Altough it is named as sparc, it worked but on some it did not. Smilie

then why can't you download the one for X86 and try? Maybe your other systems are running sparc procssors..? Anyway, its not advisable to do so.. Did you check the installation procedures or requirements before you installed?And what is the patch level and OS versions of your other systems compared to he one you're complaining abt? I guess you need to analyse these first.

@incredible

I didnot notice the sparc in the name when I downloaded this. I was pretty new to solaris then. The version is solaris 10 05/08. All servers are similar X86 quad core. And version is 127128-11, 64 bit. All 8 of them are the same. I searched many times but I didnt not find one for the x86 architecture...So i went ahead and tried...if it works...
