Many things are new in Solaris 11, Autoinstall is one of them. If, like me, you've known Jumpstart for the last 2 centuries or so, you'll have to start from scratch. Well, almost, as the concepts are similar, and it's not all that difficult. Just new. I wanted to have an AI server that I could use for demo purposes, on the train if need be. That answers the question of hardware requirements: portable. But let's start at the beginning. First, you need an OS image,...

Karoly Vegh writes on the Oracle Systems Blog Austria about what you can do with Solaris 10 today that will get you ready for Solaris 11. Even today, many people still use Solaris 10 as if it were a patch update to Solaris 8 or 9, missing out on the power behind Live Upgrade, Zones, resource management, and ZFS. Learning more about these will help set your feet on the road to the even more sophisticated capabilities of Oracle Solaris 11. [Read More]

I know there are a lot of Solaris veterans that still haven't experienced the enormousness that is Oracle OpenWorld. Simply put: if you have a chance to go, you should go. You'll learn a lot, and you'll be in one of the greatest cities in the world at the same time. Even better: if you've got something to share, we might be able to get you in for free. Yep, it's that time already: the Call for Papers for this year's OpenWorld (and JavaOne) is open. But not for long -- you've...

Solaris 11 macht vieles neu, unter anderem auch den Installserver. Wer, wie ich, seit (gefuehlten) 200 Jahren Jumpstart kennt, muss hier umlernen. Dabei ist das ganze gar nicht so kompliziert. Nur eben neu. Mein Ziel war es, einen AI-Server zu bauen, den ich fuer Demo-Zwecke auch mal im Zug benutzen kann. Damit sind auch die Hardware-Voraussetzungen klar: Tragbar sollte es schon sein. Aber schoen der Reihe nach. Als Erstes braucht man natuerlich ein OS-Image. Das heisst...

Einige erinnern sich sicher an die Solaris Fingerprint Database. Sie war eine hervoragende Moeglichkeit, um die Integritaet eines Solaris Binaries zu pruefen. Leider wurde sie zusammen mit dem Rest von Sunsolve abgeschaltet und im Nachfolger "My Oracle Support" nicht wieder in Betrieb genommen. Die gute Nachricht nun ist: In Solaris 11 gibt es sie wieder, und besser als jemals zuvor! Um die alte Datenbank zu benutzen, musste man den MD5 Fingerprint eines Binaries auf der...

Many remember the Solaris Fingerprint Database. It was a great tool to verify the integrity of a solaris binary. Unfortunately, it went away with the rest of sunsolve, and was not revived in the replacement, "My Oracle Support". Here's the good news: It's back for Solaris 11, and it's better than ever! To use the old database, you had to get a MD5 fingerprint or digest of a binary, then check this fingerprint in the Fingerprint Database on the web. While there was a tool...
