D240 Disk’s story
Here is a story I’d like to share with your, my dear, reader. Couple days ago we finally found a remedy for a support case opened in Sun, which even a support engineer christened as “strange”. The problem was initially discovered whilst the root disk mirroring process was on-going. I noticed that it took flagrant […]
OpenSolaris, licensing, rumors and more
Right on the heels from the MOSUG meeting we had tonight I have something interesting to share with you. Mostly it relates to the most hot topics regarding the future of OpenSolaris, Solaris licensing and support. And so… As you’ve already heard or read in the mailing lists the latest OpenSolaris build has been frozen […]

Anther MOSUG meeting
Hi folks. There is going to b anther meeting of MOSUG next Tuesday (27th of April). More details about the agenda could be found here.

Four days in Irkutsk
I will be away for the next four days due to a trip to Irkutsk where I’m going to work with Sun 9990 and SF6900.
A bigger four and a smaller one
Yeah, it sounds awkward an at very least unusual but I don’t know how to express in other words that today is my son’s birthday – he has just turned four years young. Not old but young – it’s we who are getting old. What a day! But at the same time just two days […]
