[osol-discuss] OpenSolaris compatible tool that monitors servers uptime, etc?
Hi All Most of my machines are running OpenSolaris. Is there a tool/application out there that will install on OpenSolaris (or Solaris 10 even) that will monitor all of my Solaris boxes (uptime, disk drive usage, etc?) thank you for the help Anne ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] NIC failover problem - can't find problem
Hi All, My two nics are setup for Standby in a group. They keep failover over to each other, causing us massive down time.

[osol-discuss] sendmail proxy issue
Hi All I inherited a system running OpenSolaris 2008.04, and I'm having a problem with the sendmail configuration. The email configuration is set to send all email through a proxy server. However, I need to change the proxy server IP address in the configuration. My problem: I can't find that proxy server configuration parameter in the sendmail configuration anywhere. Does anyone know where this would reside and how to change it? Thank you very much Anne ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] [zones-discuss] Lost network connectivity and NIC recognition
I fixed the problem by running sysidconfig. (Thanks to Brandon H.) Anne ~ HI All I'm running OpenSolaris 10. I ran sys-unconfig so that I could change the IP addresses on the box. However, after boot up, it went straight to logon and allowed me to type root and hit enter and get right into the OS without giving a password. The WORST part is that it's now lost all of it's network recognition. It says that there are NO NIC's installed! I ran #touch /reconfigure and still, nothing. I booted of OBP with boot -r and still nothing. I'm running a SUN T1000. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this on this OpenSolaris box? Thank you for your help Anne ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] can zones see less memory than global?
Thanks, James. I fixed it already (yesterday) by doing exactly that (changing SGA).

[osol-discuss] ipfilter and tcp timeouts - painful
HI All, I'm running 25 Opensolaris boxes in my business and since we put in a new firewall all of our connections (remotely) to the OpenSolaris boxes disconnection after 1 minute of inactivity. If there is activity, it does not disconnect. We can't change firewall, unfortunately. But I was hoping there was some way to send keep-alives via the IPfilter (or something) else to keep my inactive sessions alive. It's causing us a major problem, so I'm stuck. Is there anyway on OpenSolaris you know of to keep connections to the server alive? Thank you for the help. Anne ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] ipfilter and tcp timeouts - painful
Hello David Thanks for the code. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as it is. It just continually pings forever, and it interferes with the command line by always showing 64 bytes from ip.domain.com: icmp forever. Thus, the user can't type anything. Any others ideas I've love to hear about them. Thank you!

Re: [osol-discuss] ipfilter and tcp timeouts - painful
Yes, I have that SSH setting already in place. However, all the other connections (SQL, ORACLE, LDAP, etc.), all close after 1 minutes of inactivity. That's why I'm trying to get this script working for all those other programs and connections to the server... Thank you anyway though. If you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them!

[osol-discuss] How to wipe SPARC system disks?
