I sent the following email to the admin-sustain-help alias. They suggested trying this one.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ? multi-minute delay for network milestone Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:20:31 -0600 From: Greg Bickel <greg.bic...@sun.com> Reply-To: Greg.Bickel at Sun.COM To: admin-sustain-help at sun.com I have a customer who did a live upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 08/07. Since doing this their boot times seem to have increased quite a bit. With some searching and use of dtrace I found that there is a delay that ranges from about 5 to 9 minutes between the time the physical network method is finished and when the network milestone is reached. Using svcs shows that the only enabled dependencies for the network milestone are loopback and physical. Loopback finishes earlier. I verified that there are no processes that start or finish between the finish of the physical network method and the finish of network milestone. I checked some other systems and can't find a delay at all. The milestone-network:default.log shows: [ Sep 15 14:52:13 Enabled. [ Sep 15 14:57:17 Executing start method (null) ] Any ideas as to what I can look at or try to get more information as to why this is happening? thanks Greg Bickel gb at sun.com
