I have done a few 7 to 8 upgrades, they were pretty straightfoward. As far as oracle is concerned, I suggest that you check whether or not your version of Oracle has been certified to run on Solaris 8. Check out the oracle web site for this info.

Try the following command: from / du -dk | sort -nr This will provide you with a list of directories and their sizes.

Check out the site www.sunfreeware.com, you should be able to download the top command from there.

Have u tried to ping that machine? Also if u are running DHCP on the unix server you may want to check the IP address ( ifconfig -a)

The message below was forwarded to me by a colleague. Does anyone have a fix for this? I was just running through my machines checking to make sure they had all been changed so that direct root login isn't allowed except on the console. I noticed an interesting thing with Solaris 2.5 & Sol 8...

Hi, Your training user should belong to the dba group. If dba is not the default group for the traing user you can use the newgrp command to make that user a member of the dba group. Also, check the permissions of "oracle" in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. It should have set uid...

Hi, You could try using the foll: ufsrestore xfs /dev/rmt/0hn 5, this will skip to the 5th file on the dump. Check the man pages for more info. I have also used the foll: ufsrestore tvf /dev/rmt/0n to move the tape forward. Hope this helps

Hi, Have you tried a different tape cartridge? If the error is repeated despite using new media, you can check /var/adm/messages, perhaps there is a notice about periodic head cleaning required. I have also found that retensioning your tape cartridges helps (mt -f /dev/rmt/0 retension). Hope...

Hi, You can start by checking for core dumps and you may want to remove these. find / -name core -print -exec rm {}\; Also check the firewall logs directory, this is usually on the var filesystem. You may also want to check the mail spool directory. Hope this helps

Hi, Try the following, assuming you used the "tar" command to backup. dd if=tape_device_name conv=swab| tar -tvf - (to read tape) dd if=tape_device_name conv=swab| tar -xvf - (to extract tape) I used this a long time ago to read tapes between a unisys unix machine and a SCO...

Hi, Have u checked that the printer is enabled? If this is a network printer, are u able to ping the device? Hope this helps

Hi Danny, I don't know of a way in SCO. The foll will work in Solaris. Assuming your tape device is /dev/rmt/0. To eject the tape type: mt -f /dev/rmt/0 offline. Check the SCO man pages for the "tape" command.

Hi Danny, There are no real major differences. Most tasks like backing up and scheduled reboots and cleaning up of temporary files etc can be done by scheduling through cron and/or at jobs. Solaris uses admintool , SCO uses scosh(I think). Kernel settings are done by editing the /etc/Systems...
