On another forum, the other day, Alan Coopersmith shared a nice list of recent blogs on Oracle Solaris and related topics and I thought that this would be good to share on this blog roll too. It has blogs from this blog roll as well as many others and it gives a nice insight into the recent activity in this area as well as the new features delivered via the "Continuous Innovation" process in the 11.4 SRU's. Here's the list: Update on Oracle Java on Oracle Solaris — ...

As part of the Oracle Solaris 11.4 release we introduced the new StatsStore and Dashboard functionality allowing you to collect and analyze stats from all over the system that Oracle Solaris is running on. Some of these stats come from the Oracle Solaris kernel and some from userland applications. One of the interesting things about the design of the StatsStore and Dashboard however is that it also allows you to collect data from other sources like applications running on...

Building OpenJDK Java Releases on Oracle Solaris/SPARC Starting with Java SE 8, Oracle created the concept of Long-Term-Support (LTS) releases, which are expected to be used and supported for an extended amount of time and for production purposes. Oracle Java SE 8 and Java SE 11 are LTS releases and are available and supported for Oracle Solaris - subject to licensing and support requirements detailed...

Many of our customers use golden images of Solaris with fully installed and configured applications to deploy their production systems. They create a golden image by capturing a snapshot of their staging system's files in a Solaris Unified Archive. Solaris normally clears the staging system's network configuration during golden image installation. This makes sense given that each production system will have a different IP address and often resides in a different site with...

The first item in Solaris 11.4’s list of new networking features was "Migration of persistent network configuration to SMF". Does it really matter where the network configuration is stored? Absolutely! Solaris is often installed in large data centers where manual installation and configuration of each individual system is not practical. Solaris 11's Automated Installer along with Solaris' System Management Facility (SMF) were developed to make installation and configuration...

The examples shown in this blog post were created and executed on a Solaris system. Some of these tips and examples are applicable to all *nix systems. Digest of a File One of the typical uses of computed digest is to check if a file has been compromised or tampered. The digest utility can be used to calculate the digest of files. On Solaris, -l option lists out all cryptographic hash algorithms available on the system. eg., % digest -l sha1 md5 sha224 sha256 .. sha3_224...
