Weird problem in booting Solaris 8
Hi All, I have faced a weird problem on one of my servers running solaris 8. The root disks are mirrored using VxVM. The server got hanged. I do not why. We have to get the server hard booted.

spud brackets for SATA drives.
I'll probably be buying an Ultra 27 http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra27/ in the next week or so, but Sun's disks prices are rather steep. 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA Disk Drive with Bracket is � 540.00 here in the UK ($902). I currently use a couple of external 1 TB mirrored drives, but would not make... 18 Sep 2009 15:38

Solaris 10 (SPARC) to Postscript USB printer ???
I've got a HP laserjet Postscript printer which has been hit by lightning, making it impossible to print via a network. However, the printer also has USB on it, and it appears the USB still works. Is there a way I can get a Solaris 10 update 7 (SPARC) system to use a USB printer? I know it's not an ideal situa... 15 Sep 2009 10:07

"screen not found" - sun monitor, sun framebuffer
I've got a Sun Ultra 80 (4 x 450 MHz, 4 GB RAM). I'm not sure what frambuffer it has in it, but I know it has one. I installed Solaris 10 03/2005 via a serial line. So far I've only ever wanted to use it via a serial line or ssh over ethernet. Now I plugging in a Sun 17" (or so) CRT monitor, with the 13W3 connec... 14 Sep 2009 08:32

Auditreduce problems
I am running Solaris 8 on a sun box and having an audit problem. Per NISPOM standards I have to do auditing on events, and as you know BSM turned on creates tons of events so I have a filter_audit script I run to filter these events based on keywords. This process normally take a few hours for a 1-2 GB weekly audit... 26 Sep 2009 12:28

Anyone using ZFS on a Dell 1850 w/ LSI Megaraid?
I've got a server on a Dell Poweredge 1850, using the onboard MegaRAID LSI driver to mirror a pair of internal disks (I didn't build it this way, it was the standard setup for the Linux admins). I've got Solaris 10 U6, fully patched as of this morning, with ZFS root. Overall, the machine works great... it has lot... 9 Sep 2009 09:41

Corrupt /var
We have a Solaris 8 SPARC Sun-Fire-V440 system (I know, very old). But it is very critical to us. Filesystem /var seems to have become corrupt - "df -k" reports it 100% full in terms of diskspace (inodes at 3%) but the size of the files is not enough to account for this (5GB) of space usage. Hence deleting files... 14 Sep 2009 07:26
