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...

One of the more subtle changes with Oracle Solaris 11.4 is the identity of the Operating System - namely the output of uname(1). Obviously we are not changing the release - this is still SunOS 5.11 which brings along the interface stability levels that Oracle Solaris has delivered for decades. However, in part based upon customer feedback, and in part internal requirements, the version level now displays finer grained information: $ uname -v 11.4.0.12.0 If we compare this to...
