troubleshooting Question
Sun X4450 diagnostics
Got a couple of Sun X4450 servers and one throws up an ECC error every week or so so I need to swap bits between them to isolate the faulty component, but I want to know if swapping the part has had any effect so I need to thrash their memory until one fails.
How do I obtain a diagnostic tester for these Sun servers now that Oracle have bought Sun?
I can get to http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4450/downloads.jsp and I think "Sun Fire X4450 Server Tools and Drivers DVD Version 3.0.0" would do but I can't download it because I'm not registered with Oracle. Is there a minimal version of their database I could buy and register that would let me download the software to test their hardware?
