Re: porstfs bug t2000 and 2.2
Look at Sun Alert 102485: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102485-1 The bug should have been fixed with 118833-12 several months ago. Most early evaluaters of Niagara with Apache 2.2 ran into kernel panics because of the bug. The most recent kernel update patch is 118833-20 (SPARC versions, X86 should be analogous).

(Paul reported the bug early on, I think.) We have also heard reports that the SSL crypto engine on the T2000's is horked. We've been told that upcoming firmware should resolve that issue. FWIW, we're going to be deploying httpd on one of the ASF's T2000 soon (it's going to eventually take over for our Itanium box). So, if it's unstable, we'll be finding out real soon now. -- justin
Re: porstfs bug t2000 and 2.2
Yes - there are issues with Apache on Solaris 10 when using SSL (nothing to do with the T2000). We currently have two bugs outstanding : http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6375348 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6374503 In our testing, this causes about a 10-12% performance degradation, but is not specific to Apache 2.2.If you run apache as root, there is no degradation at all and should see improved performance with the T2000 crypto hardware. As you correctly point out, the event port bug has been fixed so make sure that your T2000 box has this patch. We have just released 'Cool Stack' - optimized versions of apache and other common OSS apps for SPARC (x86 coming soon). Please see http://cooltools.sunsource.net/coolstack to download.
