| I have found, during my work with massively complex system environments, that there are a few top issues that can affect configuration management. Here are some of them: -
Set the explicit disk to use when installing via JumpStart server. -
Check for all patches! -
Read all of the release notes. -
May need to access to a 10.0.0 network for the Sun StorEdge network FC switch's initial configuration. -
When using Fibre channel: be aware of hard address vs. boxid vs. target id. -
When using the Sun StorEdge network FC switch, do not forget to "apply" the changes that were made, as necessary. -
Set port types on SAN switches before making zones. -
Use ports 1, 4, 8 .. to connect to Servers, if possible, for better performance under some conditions. -
Be sure to check the /etc/system file. Do not blindly roll things forward, e.g. priority paging. |
