Ok, (Cut-n-Paste time since egroups *will not* send me a verification
email for my address)
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.
