What if it all happens in millisecond or less... Hard to capture that. Even with dtrace

Theres many a release of "Solaris" for many HW platforms. All of them must be patched regularly especially if 'something funny is going on". One of my clients utterly refuses to patch the OS claiming that would introduce a "change" yet they patch everything else Oracle without question.. As I said I have serious doubts that zoning or ZFS would cause this, but a missing kernel/driver patch or a simple tweak in /etc/system might make the ghost go away. For near instant rollback I suggest enabling live upgrade - just in case a "change" is problematic Received on Tue Jun 17 2008 - 10:41:58 CDT
