Ok,
Time to apologize yet again, but due to the aggressive time schedule
I am currently under to complete a ridiculous number of tasks before
Feb. 25th, plus the fact that I can only work on some of my servers
now
before 9am and after 5pm I am going to have to postpone again. Good
news
is.. Feb. 25th was a date set back in December, and after that I am
back
to regular working hours (like I believe that)
So…. as for topics
Seems that I have been involved in some of the more convoluted network
infrastructure designs for the past couple of years, so I will
probably
talk about the different methods of network redundancy on Solaris
servers. Network redundancy the cheap hard way or the easy, more
costly
way :) If your interested in any other aspects of putting a light out
data center together, let me know and I will try and put together a
bit
more.
So .. my tips for tonight
-
If you are running Solaris Servers with the UltraSparc IIe processor
(64bit only cpu) make sure you have applied the latest patch bundle.
There is a nasty bug that was not addressed in the Solaris 10/01 release
of Solaris 8 (guess what Im doing tonight) -
If you have enabled SNMP on any of your network devices that is
accessible from the internet… You may be at risk.
