sysadmin Solaris

Applicable to multiple versions

SVM - Sun Volume Manager

This is Oracles version of software RAID (kinda like "mdadmin" in linux). Solaris devides a disk in so called slices. You can now build a submirror out of those slices and combine multiple of that to a mirror.

Solaris 9

MIB-parser bug in netsnmpd

The latest version of "netsnmpd" available for Solaris 9 (v. 5.7.0) introduced a bug in the MIB-parser leading to this ugly error messages on snmpd startup:

This bug was fixed in the next release of netsnmpd but there are no binaries available for Solaris 9, so your best option is to downgrade to the previous version of the package which is 5.6.1.
