The storagescope data are zipped xml files and could be copied directly from old server to new servers without any problem. Our old server is 5.2SP3 and the new on eis 5.2SP4. There is no version imcompatibility.
Sendmail is used in all my servers to relay local email to the real recipients. As the corporate is using new SMTP servers, the changes are made to my servers. Generally, it is to reset the “SMART_HOST” in sendmail.mc file.
For Volume manager try: pkginfo -l SUNWvxvm or pkginfo -l VRTSvxvm
If you have Veritas file system: pkginfo -l VRTSvxfs
Well, during each system maintenance, there is always something unexpected happen. This time we are patching the SAN storage. There was some miscommunications.

Life after coffee
Here is a quick way to find out what hardware is installed in your
Solaris system, including RAM, CPUs, PCI cards, and external
devices. The output will usually include the size of each memory
chip in the system.
We use NIS to manage our password file. I just noticed that we can no longer change passwords in Solaris 9 systems.
User once ran thousands of “agrep” jobs on our 20 CPU Solaris machine and took all the CPUs. I am leading the process to introduce cluster computing to the bioinformatics group, so this is a good chance to convert this scripts to run in a SGE cluster environment.
affxparser is the Affymetrix File Parsing SDK for R. There is no problem installing this package on Linux, but we encounter errors when installing it on Solaris because of the data type definitiion.
Prozilla is a UNIX download accelerator. It is supposed to work with proxy on all UNIX platforms seamlessly, but the latest version (2.0.5) get a few errors.
Well, things become complicated in this environment. Rmatlab enables inter-programming between Matlab and R, it uses mex (the matabl compiler) during installation to be installed within R as shared library, so that it can be used in matlab as well. Howerver, mex in Solaris hardcoded to use Solaris’s its own CC compiler, which we do not have. So I have to hack mex (the matlab compiler wrapper) to compile Rmatlab for R, using GCC on Solaris where there is no Solaris CC (Damn complicated).
