Re: [FW-1] Questions of NG stability/usability on Solaris



Thanks for the information - I'm sending some questions to you directly.
Anyone else who might respond, I'm especially looking for UPGRADE
information, as this client has a very extensive and complicated setup -
something we could *not* reproduce from scratch.

Subject: RE: [FW-1] Questions of NG stability/usability on Solaris


One of my primary sites now has various Nokia boxes running IPSO 3.4.1 and
FW-1 4.1SP5 (with hotfixes) and are all controlled by a NG FP1 (FP0 was fine
also) console running on a Netra X1 with 64 bit Solaris 8.  It works
flawlessly for me.

The only issue I had was the initial install.  NG was installed on a fresh
box and I attempted to migrate my objects and rulebases.  It wasn't too
happy with it all.  I then uninstalled, copied the previous 4.1 EMC install
to the new host and installed NG as an upgrade (after bringing the 4.1
install to the latest rev for my own peace of mind) and things went
perfectly.

I have other clients with a stand-alone X1s as the enforecement points and
management consoles and they perform flawlessly.  So well, in fact, that I
recommend X1s with 512 MB of memory and mirrored 20 GB drives for everyone I
handle these days who need just a FW.  It's also simple to JumpStart them
and have instant FWs :)

I've seen some of the gripes people have had regarding NG on Wintel
boxes,
but I'm interested in hearing about experiences from people running on
Solaris.  We have a customer who currently runs 4.1 SP4 on Solaris and
is
interested in upgrading, so I'm doing some preliminary research.

Any information (feel free to email me directly) would be greatly
appreciated.
