Oracle Sends a Strong Message about Sun Microsystems
Really glad to see the address Larry Ellison gave to all the Sun customers on the Oracle website:
- more money to develop SPARC
- more money to develop Solaris

I’ve seen many comments from existing Sun employees and the message above is seen as both strong and very positive. Hope this brings Sun Microsystems better days, it’s a great company with amazing people.

So here’s a very simple procedure for updating the hostname of your Solaris 10 server.
Solaris 10 patch return codes
Now that some of the systems I have to regularly patch are Solaris 10 ones, I have to get used to the new patch return codes which one can see when applying one of the Sun’s recommended patchsets. It’s similar to the Solaris 8/9 patchset installation codes, but there are more codes added to the list.
