Re: [U2] Has anyone played with/tested UniVerse 10+ under Solaris 10
Thank you, that's excellent information; did you ever try to find out whether IBM will be releasing binaries comipled against more recent OS versions? In our case, high performance clock speed is likely not a make or break issue, we have a relatively small pool of concurrent users (40-50 at most) and a fairly simple billing and nascent medical records system that doesn't tax the current system tremendously, it's mostly in terms of networking to external applications servers that has caused our desire to upgrade -- that and the last time we had to get a spare part we found what may be the last one in the US on eBay. Has anyone else got any performance on Solaris issues that might be relevant? I plan on testing out the Linux version on Solaris 10 unless/until we get Solaris binaries, in which case I'll try to do some comparison load lifting, that's a good point. Thanks very much for the input, greatly appreciate the assist.

Problem is that Universe is compiled against Solaris 7 so you get absolutely no benefit of later versions. Also as far as I know Universe does not run on Opteron. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Ivanick Sent: 10 February 2005 21:04 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Has anyone played with/tested UniVerse 10+ under Solaris 10 Hola all - We've suddenly had some resources freed up from another project and are looking to rapidly replace the 12-14 year old SGI Challenge Ls (which, truly, are still performing magnificently in most respects) we have our UniVerse 9.6 installation on. We've so far primarily tested on U2 10.1.x running on redHat AS 3.2 and we're starting to get quotes for hardware, and we've concentrated on x86 so far; the Sun guys came by today pitched a very nice price for 4 way Opteron based 40Zs, but they also made a fairly strong case for the virtualization/compartmentalization features of Solaris 10. I know it's kind of early yet, but has anyone tried running U2 in these containers? I'm fascinated by the idea (as we could dual-purpose the box and not have to worry so much about our high-availability needs), but it will take a while before I can actually get to trying it out on the SunBlade 100 here, so I'm interested if anyone's tried this, perhaps from the Solaris 10 betas. Thanks very much for any input. -- Peter Ivanick Sr. Programmer/Analyst School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 215.573.2306Fax: 215.573.8777 http://www.vet.upenn.edu/ --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ The information contained in this email is strictly confidential and for the use of the addressee only, unless otherwise indicated.
