I love reading stuff that I know feck all about :lol:

Yup 1 should be fine IIRC? Haven't touched that malarkey for a bit now...

yip.... RAID 1 or 5 seems more logical, 0 is just pointless!!

Think i'll just do a sys-unconfig (init state 1 aye? ) for the IP/hostname

They want you to setup raid0 across 4 disks? Why? theres no redundancy there?
You want raid 5 or 2 mirrored raid arrays? but theres not much point in that either.

Don't know anything about solaris....

I'd say RAID5 TBH, not an awful lot of point in just setting up 0?

IP changes on Solaris - from my limited experience, I'd say change the /etc/inet/hosts file, and make sure the appropriate /etc/defaultrouter and /etc/netmasks file are right.

cool tutorial on raid...

basically..... I'm off out to Bergen on Friday to re-configure a Solaris machine, install a Linux machine and setup RAID (4 disks) on the linux box, for the solaris machine....

They say the want RAID level0 (fookin pointless)..... but i'd reccommed RAID5 ?!?!

yes/no

Solaris, i havnet used in anger for ages....
Linux - im ok with

RAID...... as in Redundant Array of Inexpensive(?) Disks.....

:o:o:o

Do you mean RADIUS? Or RAID as is multiple hard drive config, mirroring etc?

Anyone clued up on RAID systems here?

and changing IP, hostname on Solaris (SPARC) boxes???

basically..... is

sys-unconfig

OR


editing the following files:

/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname.hme0

changes in the three files that are in /etc/net directory

IP address can just be changed by editing /etc/hosts


yes???
