one of the opensolaris conferences you can just untar your current setup in

pick up a niagra or something from ebay -- less power more juice low cost.
Thanks for the suggestions, and they are looking at it. For a few years
now. The problem is with Informix databases - its chunks are stored in
raw devices (over SVM) which would probably translate to zvols, but they
couldn't figure out what to change where for a verbatim copy. Or how to
reinstall the thing with proper import of data which is still regularly
being backed up :\
I guess it is time to learn some of that...

FWIW If it is the NVRAM, it's probably not a big problem if you can get the replacement
part. I went through this mid 90's w/o any problems. Don't actually recall what the
system was as I had several then, but the 4/110 seems a likely candidate. I'm pretty
sure I was at the "won't boot" stage when I discovered the problem.
On the other hand, I think the cost of electricity is a pretty compelling
argument for system replacement.
It is a university. Power is free or fixed-price. Little incentive to
upgrade :\
Thanks for all the suggestions so far :)
If we do manage to replace the NVRAM chip, I guess the eeprom settings
(boot-devices and so on) would also need to be recovered?
Thanks again,
