Solaris 2.5 OS server of Solaris 2.6??

Post by J.L.Garci » Wed, 25 Feb 1998 04:00:00



Hello!

It might be a silly question, but,  can a Solaris 2.5 OS server workstation
serve Solaris 2.6 or I need to upgrade also the OS server?

Thanks

I am going out on a limb and assuming you mean NFS.  If so, the answer is yes.

In most other cases, the answer is yes too (NIS+, YP, DNS, HTTP, SMTP,
etc.).

Should work just fine.

Let me add TFTP, RARP and BOOTPARAMS.
Actually, even SunOS4 serves 2.6 clients just fine
(maybe, except for NIS+ ;-)

1. Sparc10 solaris 2.5 to Sparc20 solaris 2.6 migration question

subject says it all. I got into this game late. I have a customer running a
Sparc10 with Solaris 2.5 (patch levels woefully behind) who decided the
performance of the Oracle 7x database on it would be increased by moving it
over to a Sparc20 running dual SM71s and Solaris 2.6. They bought all the
H/W then engaged me to do the work. Yikes.

Anyway, my question is: can anyone suggest the audit I might make of the
sparc10 to ensure I can replicate user accounts, host name, etc.. on the new
Sparc20 so i can snapshot the database, copy it over, then go testing? I
realize this is a wide-open question, but I'm not a Solaris guru. My *nix
experience is mostly with SCO and HP-UX...

Any help GREATLY appreciated and email replies preferred as I don't get to
to USENET as much as I'd like...
