How to create self-contained Solaris 10 x86 Jumpstart kit
Byetzion 27/12/2008

I was required to create a self-contained, single DVD to automate the installation of Solaris 10 on x86_64. I could not find any up-to-date straight forward guide which can explain how to do it, so I do it here. This is not an explanation for dummies, so you must know (to some degree, of course)…

Xen VMs performance collection
Byetzion 18/10/200816/01/2022

Unlike VMware Server, Xen’s HyperVisor does not allow an easy collection of performance information. The management machine, called “Domain-0” is actually a privileged virtual machine, and thus – get its own small share of CPUs and RAM.

Quick provisioning of virtual machines
Byetzion 01/02/2008

This can happen, of course, only if the host running VMware-Server is Linux.

LVM snapshots have one vast disadvantage

Old Dell iDrac – work around Java failures
Byetzion 05/06/201919/01/2022

I have an old Dell server (R610, if it’s important) and I seem to fail to connect to its iDrac console via Java. No other options exist, and the browser calling Java flow fails somehow. I have found an explanation here, and I will copy it for eternity 🙂 First – Download the latest JRE…

  With pleasure 🙂
