Network card aggregation with Linux RHEL 5.x, (also called port bounding). It mean the merging of two network card into one single virtual (bond0) card. This is non exhaustive information, a mini how-to. for more detail see this link.
Let’s review how to configure network interface on Solaris 10 (x86 version or sparc). Specifically here I want to do on my network interfaces.
- First, I would like to aggregate two network interfaces so it will become one. More bandwidth will be available and a fail-over will be in place.
- Second, I want to add virtual interfaces so I would have IP address dedicated to some services (examples: several web servers, a NFS server, a Samba server, DNS, Sendmail, …).
I was recently involved in a discussion related to open source technologies for electronic embedded systems. Apparently not as “open” at it may seem and people suddenly got frantic about that.
Here is a start-up script for a flexlm license based software.
Using the start option the script will call itself only to start the daemon as a limited right user called flexlm, it will (switch users) with su. While the startsu will simply start it as the actual current user.
Have you seen this error: ” libc.so.1: version SUNW_1.22 not found ” ? Yes, then I may have a better solution then a migration…
I will use this tribune to invite you to join the “Montreal & Quebec – Embedded Systems Jobs Association”. This group’s mandate is basically there to share your experience, successes and woes in trying to find a job in the field of embedded systems in QC. Should this group become more and more popular, job posting shall arise as well.
Hi everyone !
My name is Luc Filion, I am a member of the Microelectronic Research Group since 2000 first as a student myself, then research associate for starting up the Space Codesign project and as lecturer as well. Nowadays I work in the consulting field, aiming my interests in the fields of embedded systems design, embedded software, electronic system level and virtual prototyping.
This post discusses how to duplicate Solaris 10 boot environment (BE) and how it is possible to Apply the recommended patches (10_Recommended.zip) on that duplicated inactive boot environment. So called “Applying Solaris 10 recommended patches to inactive boot environment”.
Here is how to compile or, compiling Samba on Solaris 10. This was tested done on SUN SPARC architecture.
“Samba 3.5.1 or 3.5.2 does not compile on Solaris 10…”, yes it does! Read this on how I did it. If are trying to compile 3.5 or 3.5.1 or 3.5.2 or 3.5.3 on Solaris 10 and it stops on “Linking shared library bin/libtalloc.so.2″ this is why…
Compiling Samba on Solaris 10 is sometime not that easy but yes it is possible. You could either try it with gnu gcc or with sun studio C compiler. I prefer to do it with gnu gcc since it should be more compatible with autoconf, autogen, and it’s what everyone uses. In several cases I have seen the problem often occurs with ld. Which ld do we use? Is it gnu ld or Solaris provided ld?
Following my previous blog about “Creating Raid5 under Linux RHEL5.4 using md, lvm and ext4 filesystem.”
I will add some information on how to test if the raid actually does work well. Here is how I did it.
