I appreciate Sun's contributions to the Unix world at large, but while I read your article I:
Created a JFS system
Created a volume group for my users data that is locked down only for them
Extended the filesystem for their VG by about 2GB on the fly
Mirrored their VG on the fly by typing the command:
mirrorvg uservg hdisk1 hdisk3
(Note the complete lack of slice designations or plex designations)
Issued another command to sync up those mirrors
Loaded a dynamic driver into the OS to operate my Digiboard concentrator card without a reboot.
OOPS, I screwed up the configuration of the device...I just de-allocated it and reconfigured the driver automatically.
Crap...I need to add another disk to that volume group. Just did that dynamically. Allocated the space for it also.
Ehhh...why not? I just created another mirror of the disk onto the newly imported disk.
Funny how I can do all this through either the command line or from a completely comprehensive & modular user interface.
How much of this can you do with just a base OS? No disksuite, no additional packages, just out of the box, without a single reboot of the machine?
Sun hardware is outstanding, I will grant you that. But I can see no reason on God's green earth that every Admin alive shouldn't be chucking Solaris in favor of AIX.
