Just a reminder that the next meeting of MSOSUG, the Melbourne Solaris / OpenSolaris User Group is coming up,  Wednesday, March 19th.

Usual time and place – 6pm,  Level 7, 476 St Kilda Road, Melbourne.

This time Richard Smith will be talking about Solaris Performance Counter Observation – Richard is one clued in guy about performance tuning, so this alone makes it well worth the visit. In addition,  Richard Spindler will be discussing troubleshooting Jump Start – should be a lively and interactive session there.

During last night’s MSOSUG, the fact that Cassini (ce) is now working with IP Instances on Solaris 10 popped up. Since there hasn’t been a whole lot of publicity surrounding this I thought I’d drop a quick post here. The patches are 137042-01 and 118777-12, so head over to sunsolve.sun.com and grab it. I know this will be a popular patch for those performing consolidation operations on existing UltraSPARC infrastructure.

Don’t forget the next meeting of the Melbourne Solaris / OpenSolaris User Group, 20th February at 7/476 St Kilda Rd (Sun’s offices).

Program for the night is:

• Richard Spindler
  • Jumpstart Troubleshooting.
  • What you need to know to make it work when it don’t!

• Richard Smith (Unconfirmed)
  • Performance observation
  • A start down the road of understanding performance.

• David Visser
  • Advanced JET and Application Provisioning using N1SPS

• Dan Cook
  • Extended Attributes
  • Do you know what they are? Why should you care?
  • Dan will tell you all about them and why you care. :)
