Maybe someone can call Larry fucking Ellison and get him to spend some of his yacht racing petty cash on a goddamn QA box.

Problem statement:

10.2.0.1 32BIT OCI EXECUTABLES FAILS WITH ORA-12154 ON SOLARIS 10 X86-64(AMD64)

[...]

PROBLEM:
--------

10.2.0.1 32bit OCI exceutable built using Oracle make file fails with ORA-12154.
The exact same code works when a 64bit executable is used. sqlplus is 64bit
executable so the connection works.  The problem is only on seen on solaris 10
X86-64(AMD64)

DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
--------------------

Inhouse tried the test on both regular solaris 10(celcsol3) and x86(celcx86b)
and was not able to reproduce the error.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
----------------

Inhouse cannot find solaris 10 X86-64(AMD64) testbox.

BWAAAAAA HAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!

Fucking losers. Oracle is going to collapse in on themselves through sheer incompetence... And Microsoft will rape the remains.

Does SUNW even sell those boxes? When I regularly used Solaris on x86-64 about five years ago, Solaris 9 was the red-headed stepchild in their OS product line. Lots of shit didn't work right on Solars x86-64. Unless Sun has switched to selling AMD64 boxes recently and abandoned SPARC, I don't think I would be terribly annoyed.

Building out a Solaris x86 box from custom parts used to be a perilous process. Has it gotten better?

Sun has really gotten on the ball with hardware. They still sell SPARC, of course, but they offer a lot of good AMD boxes (and at competitive prices). And, yes, driver support has gotten better; we have x64 running on various no-name boxes at work.

I'm still scarred by my efforts to install Solaris x86 (i think it was 2.6) just over seven years ago. Jumpstart was brutally stupid, so i installed the OS manually on 20 tank-like servers that were going to London, except they didn't.

The X4500 is a nice 4U 24TB AMD x86-64 server.

Must Meet Their Dope Dealer....
