Recently I have been working on an iSCSI target using SUN’s OpenSolaris and SUN’s iSCSI target, COMSTAR. After installing and configuring OpenSolaris I wanted to disable the GUI to save on resources. Forunately this is easy with OpenSolaris.

Disable GUI

To disable the GUI, type the following command in a terminal window:

pfexec svcadm disable gdm

Enable GUI

To enable the GUI, type the following command at the terminal prompt:

pfexec svcadm enable gdm

 

I’m out…

IT is not just a job but also a passion. Everything I have accomplished, both personally and professionally, has been generally entertaining, bordering on fun. Some of my projects, such as working with SharePoint Services workflow actions in Visual Studio or building a custom iSCSI SAN using the OpenSolaris, ZFS and COMSTAR, has been quite rewarding. You may think nerd...I think developing a new trend!
