From: CraftyTech on 8 Jul 2010 10:54 Hello All, Are there any options for legacy systems running Solaris 6? If whatever is running on a Solaris 6 box can't be migrated, what are my options? Can I move it to a Solaris 10 container or xVM? Thanks,

If the application in question used only published interfaces, it should run just fine without any mods on Solaris 10. Find a scratch machine or container and give it a go! -- Rich Teer, Publisher Vinylphile Magazine www.vinylphilemag.com

Suppose you mean Solaris 2.6. This might be of interest for you. http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/guarantee.jsp

Let me see how open minded the developers are once they read this info :-) Cheers,

Let me see how > open minded the developers are once they read this info :-) Cheers, You haven't given any details of what the app is, but I would suggest you try running it on Solaris 10 and see what happens. A couple of years ago, I helped a customer move their call center software running on Solaris 2.5, which had been developed in-house but the development team long since gone and the source lost. Actually, it was very easy, as we just lifted up the binaries and dropped them onto a T-series system (in a Zone actually), and it all just worked. There was one slight hiccup where the customer had misconfigured the Zone's resources (misunderstood what the swap limit did), but having fixed that, it ran without any problems, and faster than it had on the sparccenter it was running on before. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |
