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 payed others more attention. But a few weeks ago I got an unbelievable offer. A fully populated Sun Fire V490 with two system boards, four 1,5 Ghz UltraSPARC 4+ CPUs and 32 Gigs of RAM for only little money! Yeaaahhh…Last friday I visited the company who sold the Sun. They used the machine as a SAP test and pre-live system but changed everything to IBM Power servers. After admire their amazing new data center I put the Sun Fire V490 into my car and went home. 🙂
Because I don’t need 8 cores and 32 Gigs RAM in a single system, I installed one system board into my other new V490. 🙂 Now I have two fast and nice Sun Fire V490 servers. The UltraSPARC 4+ CPUs are amazing fast. Not comparable with US3 or US3+… I enjoy working with these two SPARC systems. Next week I will install an Oracle Database Grid (11g R2)… The first grid will use classic fibre channel SAN and my second test will use 4 Gbits ports per machine and Oracle dNFS !
Thanks to Otmanix for this incredible machine ! 🙂
And now it’s time for some pictures and console outputs. 😉
