Here I am back again. 😉 The last weeks I had lot’s of work, so there was only little time for my blog and private activities. But this was a big chance to turn off lot’s systems in my home lab and run only the necessary servers for my home network. I watched 2 months […]
Time for my first blog in 2011 ! And it’s about Sun… hoouuw hooouw… 😀 Last year a good friend gave me a Sun Fire V490. The system was new and never used but had no system board. After several months searching for an affordable system board with no success I forgot the system and […]

The next reminder… 😉 Fast introduction into installing an Ignite-UX install server for HP-UX. Remember ILO2 Virtual Media is terrible slow! Put all HP-UX ISO on a NFS server, extract the contents into folders and export the file system. Mount the NFS share on your HP-UX server, for example: # mount -F nfs ius025:/export/iso-images/hpux /mnt […]
Again a reminder for me. Copy from HP-UX VM Host following file to the guest machine and install the HPVM-Guest bundle. vmhost# scp /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd root@vmguest:/tmp vmguest# swinstall -s /tmp/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd Mark HPVM-Guest Go to Actions -> Install… Reboot !
I’m sure many people thinking about HP-UX as an old and complicated UNIX operating system. But is that right? No! Below I will show you how easy you can drive HP-UX… 😉 I’m running the latest release of HP-UX 11.31 on a HP Integrity BL860c blade server. Between the well know 11.11 release of HP-UX […]
Again a little reminder for me. 😉 Install CentOS/RHEL 5.x Update the system with yum update Reboot # yum install expect # yum install libnl # yum install net-snmp Download HP System Health Application and Command Line Utilities for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (AMD64/EM64T). You get a file like hp-health-8.6.0.24-25.rhel5.x86_64.rpm. Install this package: # […]
Do you know all that science fiction movies about cyber war and control over people with computer systems and networks. What about the movie “Enemy of the State” with Will Smith, a complete life was killed by one mouse click. Or the movie “The Net” with Sandra Bullock, a similar situation. It’s scary how real […]
Time to say good bye… My HP StorageWorks EVA 5000 was a big challenge. A few years ago I started this project with one HSV110 controller. Step by step I created my own EVA 5000 with parts that I bought everywhere in the world. 😉 Since two years this system is running in my home […]
