Hardware requriments (Solaris)

[pinan]

Just installed JBoss on a sun Ultra 30 box (1/2 gb of memory) running Solaris 9.0

It took JBoss V3.0 some 2 mins to boot up.

Just what type of hardware resources does it take to get JBoss to boot up in something more resonable?

Just what type of platform is suggested for running JBoss and an IDE?

I would prefer to use Solaris ....

Can't tell you about solaris, but it boot in about 20s (if no additional apps installed), default configuration in a P3 1Ghz running Windows 2K with 512Mb.

In another machine, P3 800Mhz running suse 8.1 with 128Mb RAM, it boots in 1.5 minutes, but has an issue tracking application installed, and the machine is heavilly loaded.

So I think something is wrong on your side. Did you change any logging configuration ?

If you intend on running Solaris and expect performance thenn either get a machine with an ultra 3 CPU in it or run it on an intel box with a Xeon CPU.

You will need at least 512M of RAM, I would recommend at least 1G but it all depends on what your applications are like.
