Removing the Software

If you have created keystores (refer to “Managing Keystores With vcaadm” on page 69), you must delete the keystore information that the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board is configured with before removing the software. The zeroize command removes all key material, but does not delete the keystore files which are stored in the filesystem of the physical host in which the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board is installed. Refer to the “Zeroizing a Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Board” on page 80 for details on the zeroize command. To delete the keystore files stored in the system, become superuser and remove the keystore files. If you have not yet created any keystores, you can skip this procedure.

Caution –You must not delete a keystore that is currently in use or that is shared by other users and keystores. To free references to keystores, you might have to shut down the web server and/or administration server.

Caution –Before removing the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 software you must disable any web servers you have enabled for use with the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board. Failure to do so will leave those web servers nonfunctional.

▼To Remove the Software

●As superuser, use the pkgrm command to remove only the software packages you installed.

Caution –Installed packages must be removed in the order shown. Failure to remove them in this order could result in dependency warnings and leave kernel modules loaded.

If you installed all the packages, you would remove them as follows:

#pkgrm SUNWkcl2o SUNWvcav SUNWvcar SUNWkcl2a SUNWkcl2u SUNWkcl2r SUNWvcamn SUNWkcl2m SUNWkcl2i SUNWvcaa SUNWvcafw SUNWvcau

4000 specifications

Sun Microsystems, a pivotal player in the computing industry during the late 20th and early 21st centuries, was renowned for its innovative hardware and software solutions. Among its notable offerings were the Sun-6000, Sun-5000, and Sun-4000 series, powerful workstations and servers designed for a range of enterprise-level applications.

The Sun-6000 series, introduced in the early 1990s, marked a significant advancement in computing performance. These systems were built on the SPARC architecture, which facilitated high levels of processing power and multitasking capabilities. One of the main features of the 6000 series was its scalability, allowing organizations to increase their processing power by adding more modules. It also offered robust graphics performance, making it ideal for scientific visualization and complex data analysis.

Next in line was the Sun-5000 series. Launched shortly after the 6000 series, the 5000 line was celebrated for its reliability and ease of management. This series emphasized a balanced architecture, which combined processing capabilities with ample memory and storage options. Key characteristics included support for multiple processors, leading to improved performance for demanding applications. Additionally, the 5000 systems featured advanced input/output capabilities, ensuring fast data transfers—crucial for database applications and web servers.

Finally, the Sun-4000 series targeted businesses seeking affordable yet potent computing solutions. These servers boasted a modular design, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance. The 4000 series was particularly notable for its support for various operating systems, including SunOS and Solaris. These systems were engineered to handle a range of workloads, from enterprise resource planning to web hosting, while still fitting into a value-driven budget.

Across all three series, Sun Microsystems prioritized compatibility and integration, ensuring that each system offered seamless connectivity with Sun's software solutions and third-party applications. Their commitment to open standards and interoperability set them apart in the competitive landscape of enterprise computing. Additionally, the use of high-quality components lent the systems durability, making them a wise investment for organizations looking to future-proof their IT infrastructure.

In summary, the Sun-6000, 5000, and 4000 series exemplified Sun Microsystems' ethos of innovation and reliability. These powerful systems catered to diverse business needs, setting benchmarks in performance and functionality that continue to influence modern computing.
