Hi,

I already posted this on CM Crossroads - so my apologies to readers of that for seeing the same question twice; however I am anxious to get as many opinions as possible.

We are currently running CM Synergy 6.3 on Solaris 8.

As standard support for 6.3 is scheduled to cease at the end of 2006 I am scoping the work required to upgrade to 6.4.

The documentation says 6.4 requires Solaris 9 or 10; however rollout of Solaris 10 at my site is still in the planning phase and we are unlikely to have something to test against until much later this year. A proper rollout is probably going to happen next year.

Hence I need to put the options before my management.

Question: Has anyone tried CM Synergy 6.4 on Solaris 8?

I have had one response from somone CM Crossroads saying that they tried it initially and got it working however it is possible somethings will not work; and that fs_check definitely did not work.

Any more indication of known pitfalls would be gratefully received.

Cheers,
Nick

We are running clients on Solaris 8 with out any problems.

I cannot speak to running the server processes on a Solaris 8 machine. I personally would not recommend it. (I'm willing to take the 'risk' for clients, but not servers).

Hello Nick,

we tried to run a Synergy/CM 6.4-Server on Solaris 8. Generally ran without difficulties. But the used Informix-Server seems to need some routines for filesystem-acces which had been updated from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9. In fact you are not able to run the fs_check-command, perhaps some other operations are affected.

Telelogic Support says:

"The bug [...] mentioned is R#22384, and it relates to signal processing in our
platform code on Solaris which will apparently randomly hang sessions
running on Solaris 8 for a variety of different operations. It will be
patched in the first Service Pack for release 6.4 which is scheduled for
release in the first quarter of 2006, but I am afraid that there are
currently no plans to make a patch available any earlier than that."

We plan to migrate to Solaris 10. Even if you might be able to run Synergy 6.4 on Solaris 8 after SP1 is released you will run into this problem at least when you plan the next migration to 6.5 (or 7.0 or something else).

The problem we very quickly found was on DCM receive operations, they also hang on Solaris 8.
