<flame on> Why is there no decent MIB viewer for Linux? Somebody suggested tkmib. But impossible to run it… If you know one, please post some info! </flame off> [Updated 11/07/2006] I just posted this article and found one: mbrowse!

I’m playing (is it the right word? 😉 ) with ZFS on a Solaris box where I just created a pool of 4.5TB in 15″! # df /media Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on media 4825057152 9 4825057117 1% /media # df -h /media Filesystem size used avail capacity
Sunray @ home
At work, we use Sunray Thin Clients (see a previous post). Based on a client-server schema, the clients uses lot of protocols such as BOOTP, DHCP, TFTP and more. For a few weeks, my goal was to use a Sunray at home: Just plug my smartcard and work on my
Local zone as NFS server?
I’m busy to deploy a new virtualized infrastructure based on Solaris zones. A pool of physical servers will run multiple zones dedicated per applications. Each one being load-balanced or for failover. It seams that running a NFS server on a non-global zone is not supported!? :-[ From /lib/svc/method/nfs-server: # The
Dynamic default printer
In my company, the huge part of team members are using the SUN thin client solution called Sunray. (Sun Ray Software is a secure, cost effective solution that delivers a rich, virtual Windows, Linux or Solaris OS desktop to Sun Ray clients.) Why choose thin clients? This reduces the management
Solaris & yesterday date?
The GNU version of date(1) has a nice flag –date. It’s very easy to format dates in the past or future: $ date +%d-%m-%Y 04-05-2006 $ date –date yesterday +%d-%m-%Y 03-05-2006 $ date –date “-6 months” +%d-%m-%Y 04-11-2005 The Solaris version of date(1) has no such nice flags. So, how
Wine installation on Solaris 5.11
The goal of this installation is to run a native Solaris 10 on my notebook, using BrandZ (See my previous post) to run Linux applications in a zone and Wine to run Windows tools. Why do I need Windows binaries support? I’m using tools which run only on a Wintel
32 or 64 bits Solaris?
Want to know how many bits handles your Solaris kernel? # isainfo -kv 64-bit amd64 kernel modules I always forget this command! Grrr…. So I wrote it here 🙂
ZFS
ZFS will be finally publicy available in 06/2006 with Solaris 10 update 2. I’m just back from a Sun technical presentation about this new toy. Really impressed! I already played with a Beta release during my Solaris 10 training but some nasty bugs prevented a massive deployment. Now, it will
BrandZ and audio devices
Ok, now that my lx-zone is running, I faced my first issue: Unable to reboot the zone!? # zoneadm -z delta-lx halt zoneadm: zone ‘delta-lx’: ‘/usr/lib/brand/lx/lx_halt delta-lx’ failed unexpectedly zoneadm: zone ‘delta-lx’: unable to destroy zone bash-3.00# zoneadm -z delta-lx boot zoneadm: zone ‘delta-lx’: zone is already booted # zoneadm
