On another note, unsure if Oracle fixed any S7-2 related issues with the latest CBE yet.
I will download and attempt to install the latest CBE again. I did so several months ago.
They have not made any new CBE release since 11.4.81, so it's naturally not fixed.
I only cared about this because it was a good way to test the machine.
It boots and runs something. For one day. Not even that long. However
that single little SAS disk will be pulled out, labeled, stuck into an
envelope and then tossed into the back of a cardboard box somewhere.
Maybe a written word or two on the envelope that says "open in case of
busted S7-2". That is the end of that.
**Since this appears to be Solaris (not Debian) and custom software related, we should
probably discuss privately via email.
No, please don't. A lot of people use Solaris as their hypervisor and there
is not point in keeping this discussion private.
Well, my years and decades with Solaris are long behind me. I ran out
and bought this machine exclusively to get Linux running on it. So did
a friend of mine. He has the 512G memory machine! So there are at least
two more people who are happy to toss money at this problem as well as
plenty of time. I am not just going to "rage quit" ha ha.
Mostly I am too stubborn for thatand I want a top of the line modern
sparc machine running Linux because Adrian says it is possible and also
Tony claims he has it running. So lets do that. :)
