Vor einigen Tagen gab es auf einem internen Verteiler ein Diskussion ueber Skalierbarkeit, und warum Solaris besonders gut darin ist. Einige alt-gediente Performance-Meister fassten das Thema so bemerkenswert gut zusammen, dass ich diese Zusammenfassung gerne einem breiteren Publikum zugaenglich machen moechte. Sie waren einverstanden, deswegen: Was ist Skalierbarkeit, und warum ist Solaris so gut darin, Anwendungen nicht am skalieren zu hindern?Gute Skalierbarkeit ist...

In a recent email thread about scalability and why Solaris is especially good at it, some long-time performance gurus summarized the subject matter so well, that I thought it worth sharing with a broader community. They agreed, so here it is: What is scalability, and why is Solaris so good in not preventing applications to scale?The good scalability is a classic observation about systems which have been profiled for multiple years. They not only perform well at high load,...

No, this time it's not about how long a particular version of Solaris is on the market. I covered that already (although in German only) ;-) This time it's...
No, this time it's not about how long a particular version of Solaris is on the market. I covered that already (although in German only) ;-) This time it's about how long a server can remain up and alive and deliver its service. But see for yourself: I saw this at a customer that fears only two things: A call from service, requesting the latest kernel patch, and the upcoming consolidation project. The latter is the more likely event that will stop him from reaching 2500...

Nein, diesmal geht es nicht um die lange Verfuegbarkeit von Solaris am Markt. Das hatte ich ja schon ;-) Diesmal geht es darum, wie lange ein solches Solaris unterbrechungsfrei seinen Dienst verrichten kann. Aber hier gilt: Ein Bild sagt mehr als tausend Worte: Gesehen bei einem Kunden, der bei dieser Maschine nichts mehr fuerchtet als einen Kollegen vom Service, der auf dem neuesten Kernel-Patch besteht. Allerdings handelt es sich hier natuerlich um Solaris 8, und das...

OpenSolaris comes with a single repository configured, known as the release repository: http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release. The packages in the release repository are updated roughly every 6 months when a new release of OpenSolaris occurs, that last being OpenSolaris 2009.06 (June 2009). Meanwhile, development toward the next release of OpenSolaris is happening at a rapid pace. For those of you unwilling to wait for next scheduled release, you have the option of upgrading to...

The OpenSolaris reference manual (man) pages contain a wealth of information, including much more than just how to use a given command. For example, there's also documentation on file formats, system calls and library functions as well as overview documentation on OpenSolaris technologies like RBAC, SMF and Zones. So getting comfortable with using the man pages will pay dividends. There are over 19,000 man pages available (which should give you a new appreciation for the...

In release 10gR2, Oracle introduced Transparent Data Encryption [1] - a feature that allows the encryption of individual columns of a table. In Release 11gR1, this was extended to tablespaces [2], allowing the creation of encrypted tablespaces which transparently store all tables and indexes in encrypted form. Both of these features help protect data against the risk of storage devices being lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. The "Master Key", which is used to secure...

Seit Oracle 10gR2 gibt es die Moeglichkeit, einzelne Spalten einer Tabelle zu verschluesseln[1]. Als Erweiterung hiervon ist es seit Release 11gR1 moeglich, ganze Tablespaces zu verschluesseln[2]. Beide Features ermoeglichen es, sensitive Daten davor zu schuetzen, dass der Datentraeger auf irgend eine Weise ausgespaeht wird. Der Master Key, der die Schluessel fuer die Verschluesselung von Spalten bzw. Tablespaces absichert, wird im sogenannten "Oracle Wallet" gespeichert. ...

I can't count how many times I've read in the various OpenSolaris forums "Read the release notes." It's true, the OpenSolaris release notes are chock full of good information. However, where are these mysterious release notes? The release notes are posted by David Comay to the osol-announce and indiana-discuss mailing lists. However, you have to filter through all the other traffic on those lists to find them. I've thought about setting up a wiki pointing to them, but that's...
