What version of Solaris are you running

[djr111]

Just curious what most people are running on their boxes.

We are running all Solaris 9 with an exception to two Solaris 10 boxes, all on sparc platform. I would like to upgrade them all to Solaris 10, but it is the developers call. I'm also wondering if we still have alot of OLD versions of Solaris in use, such as Solaris 6. (wow, now that brings back memories)

just curious

We run Solaris 8 mainly, on the new boxes we are running 10 around 5 or so at present.

I've got 5.9, 5.10 and some Trusted Solaris machines around. One of our machines was 6 a while back but it would have been a nightmare to do anything to it so we swapped out data to a new machine and threw NetBSD on the Sparc

perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(40*2),sqrt(7600),(unpack(c,Q)-3+1+3+3-7),oct(104),10,oct(101));'

A couple of 2.6, mostly 8, one 9.

Annihilannic: Are you using Oracle on any of the 2.6? If so is it an older version running legacy stuff? I had thought Oracle wouldn't have been good to go on 2.x-2.8 anymore... In my lab I just bought myself a SunFire 280R to play with (VoIP stuff) and I'm now looking for older Sparc's to tinker with... I'd love to get a 1994-1996'ish Sparc running 2.6...

Yes, we have Oracle 8.1.7 and 8.0.6 running on a couple of them, some with Oracle Applications 11.0.3, and a couple with bespoke apps.

most of our oracle boxes are running on Solaris 9, but on some of the app servers they use are running Solaris 10. Everything is on the oracle 10g platform.

Can you even get Solaris 6 anymore, other then finding someone who has the disks collecting dust or on a jumpstart server somewhere.

We're running 15 or so servers on Solaris 2.6. These'll be going away in just under a year. Otherwise we have a couple servers running Solaris 8. The rest, about 15, are Solaris 9.

I haven't played with Solaris 10 much. I've got it working in a couple of VMWare sessions running it, but I'm only using it as potential patch servers and LDAP clients against Active Directory (still trying to get this to work).

Hijacking topic slightly, but do you know what is the latest JRE that works on Solaris 2.6? I know 1.1.8 does; just tried installing 1.5.0_06 but it doesn't:

[tt]$ jre1.5.0_06/bin/java -version
dl failure on line 717Error: failed /db/oradata/db06/jre1.5.0_06/lib/sparc/server/libjvm.so, because ld.so.1: jre1.5.0_06/bin/java: fatal: relocation error: file /db/oradata/db06/jre1.5.0_06/lib/sparc/server/libjvm.so: symbol getloadavg: referenced symbol not found

This is what I'm running on many of my Solaris 2.6 servers.

$ java -version
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)

Thanks!

at my last job we ran Solaris 9 on most machines, some one on 5.7 (since nobody knew how to reinstyall some special applications, we did not run an upgrade) and a testmachine with 5.10

at my new job they are running hpux 11.11 and 11.23 and RedHat 9 ;-) no Solaris :-(
but I work on this ;-)
