This
surely does sound the Wiz of Oz, Solaris unstable ? Tru64, get real. -----Original
Message----- According to
a technical representative at Oracle in Rochester, NY, Oracle no longer
develops on Solaris. He stated that they have changed to HP-UX for
development. He said the reason was instability with Solaris. "Koivu, Lisa" wrote: Kevin,
sure I will. I just didn't want to muck up the list. Here's
what I found. If anyone has any comments to add, please do. My
question was about the utilities across different flavors of Unix and if they
mean the same thing. vmstat, iostat are the same, however the switches
may be a bit different. sar is system V only. truss you must
purchase a license for. top is freeware. There is a utility called
'collect' that does something similar to top. The
response regarding tru64 has been overwhelmingly positive. Some of the
positive comments I received: 1.
C compiler (Kernighan and Richie) is not ANSI compliant and may affect any 3rd party apps. 4.
Security - Since tru64 is not 'mainstream', e.g. marketed everywhere extremely
popular, intimate knowledge for hacking the os is not widely known. So obscurity
works in your favor. 5.
Clustering technology is mature, solid and proven. Caveats/
Other comments: 1.
Sun, relying on their own proprietary hardware, may be hurting themselves in
the long run. 5.
Oracle does develop on Sun hardware. Calling OWWS for a Solaris system
may net an answer quicker than running tru64. 6.
Avoid the ultra sparc-2 chips from Sun. They have a problem with bad
caches causing random reboots. I saw this at a previous employer. 7.
If it's possible, consider IBM/AIX. IBM's sales force is highly trained
in administration so you can talk real system architecture with them (not that
I'm an admin or architect, I am neither). IBM's support is also top
notch. Special
