No-one seems to question this number...

Let's assume Opera would have to pay premier support for HW  SW.  The 
502018 Euros support costs would then correspond to 12% of the net 
purchase price of their existing Sun hardware.


I doubt that they use M9000 systems for development :-)

We should not forget that Apple welcomes users with a BSD userland. Many

Instead of offering switchers by default a GNU userland, we should point 
them immediately to a Rosetta Stone -like page where we explain _why_

If people are getting used to GNU tools and rely on them, it is much 
harder to teach them the (Open)Solaris way later. Not to forget, porting 
apps/scripts to Solaris from a GNU based OpenSolaris will be much more 
difficult for us administrators. Solaris 10 with many non-GNU

I always try to teach people why they should e.g. use prstat instead of

At least the ttc client works, you just need to copy some motif libraries over 
form Solaris 10.

For the server component, haven't tried myself yet. Might work if you copy the 
libraries over.

As motif is not opensourced it's therefore not included in OpenSolaris 05.2008.

[osol-discuss] Oracle 11g Performace

2006-10-24 Thread Mika Borner
Here's an interesting read about forthcoming Oracle 11g file system 
performance. Sadly, there is now information about how this works.

It will be interesting to compare it with ZFS Performance, as soon as ZFS is 
tuned for Databases.


Speed and performance will be the hallmark of the 11g, said Chuck Rozwat, 
executive vice president for server technologies. 

The new database will run fast enough so that for the first time it will beat 
specialized filed systems for transferring large blocks of data. 

Rozwat displayed test results that showed that the 11g beta is capable of 
transferring 1GB in just under 9 seconds compared to 12 seconds for a file 
system. 

This level of performance is important to customers who are demanding instant 
access to data, Rozwat said. 

If systems can't perform fast enough and deliver information in real time, we 
are in real trouble, Rozwat said.

I'm by no means a database expert. But haven't the full table scans

[osol-discuss] Re: Oracle on ZFS

2006-09-12 Thread Mika Borner
While ZFS is an excellent general purpose filesystem/volume manager. I
think you will find as the number of disks you have at your disposal
increases and as you perform more real world test (I'm thinking
performing lots of single row updates and deletes) oracle performance
will become erratic :(  , I think you will be happier with ASM or an
extent based filesystem for oracle. 

For my understanding, the ZIL should be able to handle the
update/delete part. Are there any simulated real world tests? I would
really like to deploy ZFS in a couple of month for Oracle Databases.

I haven't had the time to do any DB on ZFS testing,  but I don't like
ASM. IMHO, Oracle should do things in their domain (database stuff) and
keep their fingers out of functionality that is the domain of Unix
(namely storage). Maybe there are some environments where ASM is ok
(small machines, development machines etc.), but I don't see any use for
it in bigger in environments, where we have a segregation of duty.

If Oracle wants to play with Unix, they can start converting their
services to Solaris' SMF :-)

[osol-discuss] Interesting comments about OpenSolaris from IBM

2006-08-04 Thread Mika Borner
IBM just doesn't get it... I have worked with both AIX and Solaris. But
having access to the source code, has saved my a** many times. Not to
forget, that with following what's happening in OpenSolaris, I know what
happens in Solaris in the next months/years. Based on this information,
I can already plan my IT's near future... and that is what I call the
most interesting thing to do as a system engineer.

When was the last time IBM did something interesting with AIX? When was
their last AIX product anouncement, where is their roadmap and what is
their vision?

http://news.com.com/Firing+up+IBMs+Unix+business/2008-1010_3-6101559.html

Do you ever consider open-sourcing AIX the way Sun is open-sourcing
Solaris? 
Mauri: No, we're not. I think that OpenSolaris is a little bit of a
game Sun is playing to try to get good PR. But I don't think it's in the
spirit of true open source. 

We have been very happy to get directly involved and contribute to
Linux and Apache and the Eclipse Foundation. We're not going to
open-source AIX. It's best run on the current model, where we have the
expertise. We enhance it. We work closely with our customers to listen
to their requirements. But in the end, it's best that we control that
source code.

Also interesting what they say about the Niagara Chip:

Sun managed to turn things around a little bit recently and gain some
market share at IBM's expense, and I noted also during their second
quarter of 2006, Sun sold $100 million worth of their UltraSparc T1
Niagara-based servers. Do you see Sun as a resurgent threat? 
Mauri: After 10 straight quarters of decline, I guess their compare
(comparison with year-earlier results) has got easy enough that they
were going to bounce back a little bit. I have seen what they have done
with their Niagara Servers and their Galaxy Servers, but I think they
are still struggling. They did make some of those Niagara sales in their
installed base.

 Let hope I am not taking you out of context on this quote, go talk to

any Linux desktop guys and asked them to dump the X Window System, you

will get some funny looks :). The whole of Linux desktop such as GNOME

or KDE are built on top of X. X is the basis of all the GUI system for

all variant of Linux that I know about :). So Solaris is not the odd
one 
out as you may have pointed.

Maybe I was a little bit harsh with my comments about X. But my opinion
is still, that X is in need of a major overhaul (someday...).

I'm not using X that much anymore in the sense of opening remote
applications. And if I do, then over an ssh tunnel, which is, accessed
over e.g. an VPN Tunnel is really slow.

There are better ways to open GUI applications remotly (SunRay
Protocol? Tarantella? Web-Interface?). Also, I find Apple's Quartz is
technically much more elegant, and you can run X on it, for legacy
apps. Of course, writing a replacement for X would require a huge
effort. 

I hope I haven't offended anyone. I still use X alot, but I also use
Quartz, and this allows me to compare.

PS: Sorry for the disclaimer, but I am not able to remove it...

I also think that Apple does provide sufficient control over system 
config these days.  No longer is it a don't touch but instead they 
have sufficient legacy in doing stuff through the GUI because there
was 
no CLI that they understand how to arrange a GUI so it doesn't feel
slow 
and clunky to experience people.  The critical think I think though is

AppleScript - being able to interact with the GUI progamatically like

you would with the UNIX shell is great.

To make Solaris more attractive compared to Linux (et al.) we should
dump the whole X-Window System.

Sun should, as they did e.g. with replacing the init scripts with smf,
make a paradigm shift. The X-Window system was ok years ago, when there
were no web browser based applications, and administration tools had to
be opened remotly. When was the last time you opened xclock remotly?
:-)

IMHO Apple did the right thing with dumping X for Aqua with the
possibility of runnin X on top of it, for legacy apps. Let's face it, X
should die. We need something new.
