As i mentioned in the previous post i installed open Solaris in my laptop and worked on it for some time.My next step was to finding out whether we can install asterisk in Solaris.When i googled out about this and got an article telling the performance of asterisk when running it on the solaris OS, which got to be better than in linux.You can read it out from here .
Downloaded asterisk from the SolarisVoIP.
The installation procedure is as follows.
$ pfexec wget http://www.solarisvoip.com/SVasterisk-rev146-x86-5.11.pkg $pkgadd -d SVasterisk-rev146-x86-5.11.pkg
This will make asterisk got installed in your solaris machine.
There is a slight variation in the configuration file created in Solaris than linux.Some important paths needed are explained below.
Configuration file path: /etc/opt/asterisk/ Call file creation path: /var/opt/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ Sound File path : /var/opt/asterisk/lib/sounds/ Log messages : /var/opt/asterisk/log/messages Modules path : /opt/asterisk/lib/modules/
Starting asterisk command:
pfexec /opt/asterisk/usr/sbin/asterisk -vvvvvvgc
I have created some sample dial Plans and it got worked on.Later tried AGI with PHP it also got worked on it. Dont have much idea how much will be efficient when connected to Zap channels with Zap channel drivers.For Sip its working fine.

How is the performance of asterisk in Solarsis?

Seems to be good with sip calls not much difference with Ubuntu, need to check it with zaptel hardwares.The actual performance can be measured only after that.To check it i tried to install the open solaris in the IBM- SystemX 3400 but it doesnt support solaris.
