Re: [Veritas-bu] v6.0 NOM on Solaris 10 x86
It's not on the supported list but Sun says Solaris 10 x86 is binary = compatible with Solaris 10 Sparc. Where does it say that they're binary compatible? No version of Solaris x86 offers SPARC binary compatibility. Both are binary compatible with older releases on the same architecture, but not with each other. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?

For v6.0's NOM, we'd rather run x86 (really, we'd rather Linux but that's right off the list). NOM on Linux is on the road map.

Compatibility is the word from the bossman - no independant verification on my part. Maybe I better... Start simple.

RE: [Veritas-bu] v6.0 NOM on Solaris 10 x86
OK - here's the scoop - and the boss was wrong. Solaris x86 Sparc are Source compatible not binary compatible. Here's an InfoWorld verification: === When it comes to app compatibility, Solaris isn't Java -- the binaries aren't portable between architectures (though they remain portable from earlier versions of Solaris on the same chip family, so you don't have to recompile a Solaris 2.6 app). However, on the small apps I tested, the source code was portable between 64-bit Sparc, 32-bit x86, and 64-bit x86. (InfoWorld, 4/2006) === Sorry for the confusion. -M -Original Message- From: Donaldson, Mark - Broomfield, CO Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 12:16 PM Compatibility is the word from the bossman - no independant verification on my part.
