Can SunStudio 11 be Run on a Server from Other Systems?
[201 byte] By [Coder1024] at [2007-11-26 10:56:46] 
Can SunStudio 11 be installed on a server and then run from other workstations via NFS? Thus it would not be necessary to install it on all development systems - just the server.Thank You

Yes, this is possible.You could install Sun Studio 11 on the server and then share the file system with appropriate options.akumta at 2007-7-7 3:10:02 >

Note that on that the NFS client machines that you use for compiling should be patched (see http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/)PaulPaul_Floyd at 2007-7-7 3:10:02 >

Solaris patches must be installed on any machine that runs the Sun Studio components.
A system that only hosts the file system does not necessarily need to be patches.
Example: Machine "myhost" is used only as a file server, and does not run programs. It exports a file system mounted as /export. You could install Sun Studio on myhost in /export/SS1 without needing to install all recommended patches. (You might need some patches to run the installer, however.)
On your own machine, install all the recommended patches. Mount myhost:/export/SS11 on /mount/SS11.
Now you can run Sun Studio components by putting /mount/SS11/SUNWspro/bin on your path.
Other approaches might be more convenient, depending on your network infrastructure. Here at Sun, we use Solaris automount maps to make any exported file system available to any computer on the WAN.

Thanks for all the info folks - it's good to know that this can be done!
I have another question. The SunStudio 11 Minimum requirements are:
Sun Ultra 60 workstation (450-MHz, UltraSPARC II processor).
How about these machines?:
Netra t1 105 1 CPU at 440MHz?
Ultra 60 with 2 CPUs both at 296MHz
Thank You

Results will probably be no worse than with the (450-MHz Ultra 60.
At least as important as processor speed is the amount of memory. More is better.
It's hard to specify a minimum machine, because the actual requirements depend on what you are doing. The Sun Studio IDE requires a fast processor and lots of memory. The recommended minimum machine will not run it very well. If you don't use the IDE, you can get by with a lesser machine, if you have enough memory and swap space to build your programs.
Try it and see.
