I want to setup a web server to host site and am trying to decide between Solaris 10 Express using their AMP software or FreeBSD 7.0. I may or may not use jails/containers but that option is still a possibility. There are advantages and disadvantages of both operating systems. Once setup I...

I am thinking of setting up a website for my own personal use and don't want to have multiple servers and prefer to use just one. My thinking is to run the http server (apache), the app server (tomcat) and database (mysql) each in their own jail. 1) Would I also need to run ipfw inside a...

There are currently seven individual servers that have 10%-20% max CPU utilization on H50’s that are all 332MHz. The breakdown of processors are for the individual servers: 4 servers – 1 CPU (max cpu utilization 20%) ; 512MB memory 2 servers – 2 CPUs (max cpu utilization 20%) ; 1GB & 2 GB...

I have worked with difficult coworkers before, but presently I am working with one that is completely impossible to work with. Here are some true examples: Another coworker needed some help from the difficult coworker, which was around the time for difficult to leave - Other coworker: Is it...

I run an rpm -qa and get output of all packages installed on a Linux server. Then on another server I have a list of all RPM packages available. I need to compare the rpm list to the 'all' list and get just that one match even though there are similar names. Example (rpm -qa list)...

I have a file that contains ~850 packages that are listed like below. The packages are grouped together like the first one with php4 being a php4 bundle with a certain version and release and later in the file another php4 bundle might have a certain php4 package with another version and...

I have a file that contains 7000+ lines with the first column being a European date format (though I would prefer American, ie, 06-08-2006) and the second column being a file name. Part of file: 2006-06-08 hwinfo-8.99-0.3.x86_64.rpm 2006-05-10 samba-3.0.9-2.1.5.i586.patch.rpm 2006-02-14...

Unix has been around for over 30 years and runs more mission-critical and high-availability servers than any other OS (though some will argue Mainframes). There are many Unix variants, but the most successful commercial are: AIX (IBM), Solaris (Sun), and HP-UX (HP). There are also open source...

Say I need to scale some web servers that currently are running on two 480s (don't ask) and need to replace them with eight new web servers. Would eight v210s, which are SPARC, and dual-CPUs, with 8 GB of memory be a good choice? OR Would eight X4100s, which are x64 (Opteron), with a...

Does anyone know what type of hardware companies that take hundreds of thousands of hits per day use for application servers like WebSphere? I am wondering about companies like Best Buy, Amazon, eBay, and other retailers. For web servers you can go with smaller model servers like V210s or...

Has anyone had the opportunity to use this server (or T2000)? Is it as fast as claimed by Sun? I would like to consolidate 7 servers to 3 using the T1000 and Solaris 10, but just wanted discussion from someone who has used it and thoughts on speed, reliability, and so on as a consolidated web...

Has anyone had the opportunity to use zfs? I installed OpenSolaris which has zfs included as in the base os and have had just an hour of trying it. It is so easy to create filesystems now. 'zfs create test/fs' and you are done. That is after you create the pool. But no more 'newfs'...

There are multiple sources for finding average pay for system administrators, security, programming, etc., such as SANS, annual surveys from the Journal for Unix Administrators, US BLS, and even salarywizard.com (which allows metro searches). However, how does one know where salarywizard.com...

I have users who use ftp to trasnfer files from their mac workstations to a Solaris 8 server. The users home directories are automounted from a Solaris 9 server. Their umask is set to 002, which is what they want, so each can modify the others files, if needed. The system environment umask is...

In AIX we use VRMF (Version, Release, Maintenance, Fix) for OS releases. This would correspond to the following examples: ML (Mainenance Level): AIX 4.3.1.0 AIX 4.3.2.0 AIX 4.3.3.0 There were 3 MLs released for AIX 4.3 Where the version for them is 4, the release for all is 3, the...

When trying to create a snapshot using a raw metadevice I get an error: # fssnap -F ufs -o raw,bs=/snapshot1,unlink /dev/md/rdsk/d7 fssnap: ioctl: error 25: Inappropriate ioctl for device But you can create a snapshot of a raw slice: /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 Anyone know how to create a snapshot...

I am running AIX 5.1 ML9 and have tried compiling php 4.3.8, and 5.1.2 and I always get the same error. I have seen it on a bug list for php but it was supposedly fixed. Has anyone been able to compile PHP using 'configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' successfully? # make install...

There is an RS/6000 B50 that is unused at my company that I want to use for certain applications. However, there isn't a 3151 Terminal around that I can connect, and there isn't a video port on the B50. Is there a way I can connect with my laptop (FreeBSD) using the serial port on the laptop...

With AIX and PSSP I can boot into maintenance mode if needed: # spbootins -r maintenace -l <node number> or diagnostic mode: # spbootins -r diag -l <node number> I would assume this can be done with Jumpstart, but I have never used Jumpstart for these. I use Jumpstart for upgrades or...
