What types of reboot's have you had to do?
Working in a mixed shop, the main difference I see between Solaris and AIX
is configuring devices [mainly luns/disk devices]. What I mean by this
configuring a jni or emmulex HBA card and then having to do a configuration
reboot to build the devices. Also Solaris devfsadm command doesn't
clean-up devices as well as advertised, so we end up rebooting to clear out
devices [mainly SAN storage] after we removed them from the system.

Hi All;
My company is an AIX shop; however, SUN has a Solaris 9 lab setup in an
attempt to [try to] sell us some hardware...the one thing I've noticed is
that there is an awful lot of reboots required for Solaris (in comparison
to AIX)...does anyone know off the top of their head what all requires
reboots on SUN?
It also appears (as an outsider looking in) that the amount of
sys_admin_time on Solaris would be greatly increased. Is this an accurate
presumption or is my *bias* overpowering my vision! :)
Thanks for your info!
Theresa
