A couple of folks have posted comments on old blog entries complaining that they can't resolve links to old SunSolve content. SunSolve was decommissioned as part of the integration into Oracle. Documentation which is still relevant was migrated. The URIs changed in the process. So did the document IDs. On the basis that it's better to teach a man how to fish than to just give him a fish, here's a tip on how to do find the current links to such migrated documentation. At...

Today, we launch Solaris 11 in New York City.Work on Solaris 11 started 7 years ago, as soon as Solaris 10 reached "code freeze".About 6 years ago in a Solaris P-Team (Product Team) meeting, someone raised the repeatedly asked question as to when we planned to release Solaris 11.A slightly exasperated Jeff Jackson said 11/11/11, half jokingly, half seriously. It made sense. It was in the right ballpark considering all the radical changes the architects wanted to make in...

Just a quick heads-up that Solaris 9 will transition to Vintage support (old sun terminology) / Extended support (Oracle terminology) at the end of this month. Solaris 9 patches released from November 1, 2011, will have Vintage/Extended access entitlement by default, which means that only customers with an Extended Support contract for Solaris will be able to access them. Updates to the Recommended Solaris 9 OS Patchset will cease at that time. Pre-existing Solaris 9 patches...

I forgot to let you know, but a couple of months ago, my colleagues, Don O'Malley and Ed Clark updated the Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade (LU) document describing the pre-requisites for Live Upgrade.The original document was pretty convoluted and required several cups of strong coffee to parse. The updated version is a little easier to understand, even without caffeine.Thanks also to Beth Barrett, Rick Ramsey, and Jon Bowman who helped make this happen.

As I sit here in 22A on an American Airlines flight from San Francisco to O'Hare at the start of my 16 hour journey home to Ireland, I'm reflecting on some of the key Solaris 11 related events at Oracle OpenWorld this week.For the first time in a couple of years, I got to spend the weekend in Northern California, having been here last week for Solaris 11 planning meetings. I went up to the Sierras to hug some Sequoias. I'm not normally the tree-hugging type, but I make as...
