We have been running Uv 10.1.0 for just about 2 years now on RH 8.0 uptime on our production machine is 261 days, and last downtime was only to insert another scsi controller to external backup.
We came from a Digital Alpha running Thru64 4.0e so no fnuxi was needed on the files.. We have attached about 15 printers, some of them cant have different logical units, so i had stair stepping problems on them, but was able to solve it by modifying the jobs on the spooler. No real problems have been experienced, even our cron file ran unmodified... I did spend some time to setup ssh, and to change a few perl scripts to support the new environment but with CPAN it's a matter of minutes to get your perl inst. up to speed :-) I have tried the same setup on fedora 4, gentoo, debian 3.1 testing, centos (rhes 3 without the redhat). if you check required glibc/libc on IBM's website against the linux you plan to run on and you have same or higher version then you should have no problems... Universe does not require a certain distro, all that is needed is a minimum version of glibc/libc There is a small difference between the way redhat/suse systems handle the uv.rc script suse does everything according to the unix way, whereas the redhat dudes had no clues about unix when they started, so they adopted their own standard, but if you choose redhat, then the inst. script is made for redhat best regards from a happy linux user Claus Derlien -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vegne af Rob Thometz Sendt: 13. oktober 2005 19:49 Til: [email protected] Emne: [U2] Universe running on Linux/SuSE We have a finance system with around 200 users running Universe 9.6 on Sun Solaris OS 8. For various reasons, we are considering moving to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Enterprise Linux environment. The Universe/Linux OS release combinations we are initially considering are as follows: Universe 10.1.1 with RHEL V3 Universe 10.1.12 with SuSE EL Just wondering how many of you have gone through similar Unix to Linux OS changes? What issues should we be aware of prior to this change? More specifically: - Are there issues when converting Universe data files from Unix/Solaris OS to Linux? - Is there difficulty getting printers to function properly on Linux? - Are changes required to any scripts and/or cron daemons running scripts on Linux? - Has Linux proven to be more or less stable than Unix? - Has anyone had success running the Universe/Linux combinations listed above or had success running other combinations? - Any major issues with Universe 10.1.1/10.1.12? I apologize in advance if my questions are a bit too broad. I am simply interested in gaining basic knowledge on the feasibility of running Universe on Linux, and any pitfalls to be aware of. Any information provided will prove valuable as we continue our discussions on a possible move from Unix to Linux. Thank you in advance for your comments!
