A couple more minor things that have been added to Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 33, which may become obvious. Fault proxying from all LDoms on T4 systems Previously this was disabled, however testing has proven this works well, so we have now enabled it. Enhanced signal information in COREDIAG-8000-1V FMA events. When an Oracle Solaris binary core dumps, we raise an FMA event. In order to make ASR automation work better we have added information about the type of core dump it is....

On the 18th of May we released SRU 33 for Oracle Solaris 11.4, for more information on what it contains, have a read of Albert's blog post. In addition to what Albert writes about there are some additional checks added to the the Enterprise Health Check compliance(8) benchmark. The Enterprise Health Check benchmark can be installed by installing the package ehc-solaris policy. eg. # pkg install ehc-solaris-policy It can be run using the compliance(8) tools # compliance...

Since October 2019, Oracle Solaris 11.4 images are available in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Marketplace. With Oracle Solaris in the cloud, customers can now deploy their workloads by creating new Oracle Solaris instances utilizing OCI native resources for compute, storage, and networking. In order to better understand how to work with Oracle Solaris on OCI, we have put together step-by-step instructions on the new Oracle Solaris GitHub repository:...

If you're like me you like new info on how you can do things better, or on features of newly released product versions. So I try to keep up with blogs other folks write and new versions of related products that get released and there are a few things I'd like to share. Firstly, I'd like to highlight a series of blogs by Joerg Moellenkamp on his c0t0d0s0 blog on how to use Oracle Solaris 11.4 features. Lately he's been on fire! He has released a blog nearly every day and it...

I'm blogging about this now because I realise I didn't when Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU27 came out. So it's a little bit late, but hopefully useful. Oracle Solaris 11.1 introduced the compliance(8) tool and framework. This is designed as a security audit capability, to keep your security auditor happy it generates reports against certain benchmarks. The two main security ones are the solaris recommended security benchmark, and the pci-dss one. When 11.4 was coming out we...

Oracle Solaris 11.4 has recently been certified against the Common Criteria Operating Systems Protection Profile (v4.2.1) with the SSH extension package. Many thanks to the hard work of the Oracle SecEval team and our external evaluators for making this one of the smoothest evaluations we have done. Particularly in light of the current global pandemic, some things had to be done differently but they found a way to make it work. This is the latest security validation in a...

As you've seen in previous blogs we've been correcting the accidental deletion of older blogs that hold still useful knowledge. After bringing back blogs by James McPherson and Darryl Gove, we're now bringing back a set of blogs by one of our long time security engineers Glenn Faden. These posts he wrote under the handle Trusted Blogger cover various aspects of Oracle Solaris in the security space and how to use and configure its often unique features. Some of the older...

When migrating/evacuating a zone for the first time, the zone configuration from the source host is copied over to the target host and is never overwritten there after that. That is by design to allow for tailoring the remote configuration to fit the target HW which might be different from the source host HW. For example, your target might be CPU constrained so the zone configuration there needs the pool resource. For that reason, we chose to never overwrite an existing...
