We have a sun 3800 Solaris 8, running sybase 12.5. T3 disk arrays.
I am seeing no errors in /var/adm/messages or /var/log/syslog.
Where can I look?

You mean DB requests take significantly longer.

Probably your DB disks are slow, check with iostat.
After some time most of the freqently used data will be in memory again.

Check your hardware.  Do you have the same number of cpus? RAM?
The hardware will automatically unconfig broken bits out of the way
and boot w/ the remainder.  Can be confusing if you're missing something
and you don't notice...

After computer room power failure 3800 running sybase running appreciable slower.

We also use Sybase with T3 partner pairs for the databases. Whenever
we see major performance issues we take a closer look at the T3s. If
any component in the T3 partner pair, other than a failed disk, has a
problem the cache mode switches from write-behind to write-through.
This results in a least a ten fold increase in write times.

Command "vol mode" will return cahce settings.

If T3 FRUs are all good, check to see if the batteries have expired. I
thought we had an issue a while back that when the batteries expired
the cache mode switched to write-through mode. Also when the batterys
are replaced the system remains in write-through mode until the
batteries are fully charges (12 hours).

T3s used to ship with the batteries expiration set for two years. When
we recently requested replacement batteries we were informed that the
batteries were now good for three years and that we should reset the
date so the batteries would not exppire for another year.

Do not remember commands to check or reset battery date. Will be
office Monday and could review my notes if it would help.

1. telnet logins running slower and slower...

I have a linux server running Redhat 6.1 and it has been up for about a year
now.  I'm having a problem with telnet.  When someone telnets to the server,
it connects right away, but takes 20 seconds or so for the login prompt to
be displayed.  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem or where to
start?

2. Proxy server on aliased IP

3. aix 3.2 - see sed run, run sed run

4. changing a user's NIS passwd as root. How?

5. Installation/Running GeForce2 Linux EMERGENCY, FAILURE AFTER FAILURE
